Chapter (23):Father and daughter
A few minutes ago away from school
"Hmm… what the hell!!!?"
Marcus saw his daughter Emma surrounded by two girls and there were some students watching from afar what was happening
"Are those her friends? I haven't heard that she made any friends since the incident. It's good that she's changed and improved." Mr. Blackwood thought with a smile
Marcus saw the two girls from afar talking to her, but after a few moments one of them tried to hit Emma
"What! Those aren't her friends! They're her bullies!" Blackwood thought angrily
He saw his daughter dodging the first attack and responding forcefully
"Well done!, just like I taught you how __Oh no!"
He saw her fighting well but both of them rushed at her
"Those little bitches don't fight fair! And why doesn't anyone help her! They don't see her being bullied!"
Marcus started his car engine when he got a little further but stopped after a big truck stopped in the middle of the road due to traffic lights
And it didn't look like the light was going to stop anytime soon
"What the hell! I have to do this myself" Marcus said while getting out of his car
When Marcus walked towards Emma he saw her fallen on the ground and the two bullies were standing near her arrogantly
Marcus felt angry but when he saw his daughter get up angrily and attack the two girls forcefully and without hesitation he felt proud
"That's my daughter!" he thought as Marcus quickly walked closer
"Did you guys stop when they tried everything to break me?!"
"Hey what do you mean?" Marcus thought as he stopped coming towards her
"No, you never stopped! You and that pathetic friend of yours!"
"Was she being bullied all the time?" Marcus thought in shock and sadness
"But I've had enough of all this! Enough of taking the blame and being your scapegoat for your stupid anger!"
"Emma why didn't you tell me this?" Marcus thought sadly
"If you want me to be your villain then congratulations you've win"
"I will be your damn villain, I'll be
"Your devil!"
"My daughter have you been suffering all this time,"
Suddenly Marcus's thoughts were interrupted when he saw a boy hitting her
"You bastard! You are hitting my daughter, you son of a bitch!" Marcus spoke angrily
As Marcus ran towards the boy, Marcus' back suddenly trembled with fear...and his body began to tremble involuntarily
"Who!"
Marcus quickly turned and aimed his gun upwards but found nothing
"Just what the hell was that?" Marcus thought in horror
For a moment, Marcus felt a terrifying killing intent that made his entire body tremble with terror, Marcus had faced many criminals in his life and knew what it felt like to be threatened by criminals and serial killers which gave him a sense or instinct to perceive the threat
But this time was different, that killing intent was on a whole other level, as if death itself was watching from afar, he felt that intent as if it touched his back which was practically impossible
"Just what kind of damned killer would have such a killing intent towards me? Wait a minute, Emma!"
Marcus was so distracted by the terrifying intent to kill that he forgot about Emil
When he looked at Emma, he saw her standing and the bastard who attacked her was unconscious on the ground near a car with a broken window and some blood and there was a boy standing covered in bandages almost like a mummy
"What is this? Did this mummy see her?" Marcus thought
The boy walked forward without considering everything around him and Sarah towards the school gate
Marcus saw that when the fight was over, some people broadcasted their phones on some social media sites, for fame, and some of them walked away from the school after the broadcast ended while the rest continued to watch what was happening
"These animals! Is beating my daughter fun for you?!"
Marcus looked at the children not as humans but as parasites
"The new generation of young people has become so corrupt and failed"
", Hum? Wait, where is Emma..."
Marcus saw that his daughter disappeared in the middle of the school and saw her walking away from the school, heading towards the forest of faces
"What, where is she going? Wait, is she going to the forest now like this!"
"I have to talk to her"
Marcus followed his daughter and his steps quickened as he
"Emma!"
Suddenly his daughter stopped moving and turned towards him, her eyes widening in shock
"Dad?" Emma spoke in shock
"Yes, now tell me since when have you been bullied?" Mr. Blackwood asked
"Before this, what did you hear?" Emma asked
"Everything" Mr. Blackwood replied coldly
"I didn't think you would be here, I thought you were busy with your issues as usual, your presence here means that you were either dismissed or you took a leave of absence"
"Since when did this happen to you?" Mr. Blackwood spoke with some anger in his tone
"After the waynie's supermarket incident, three days" Emma replied calmly
"Why didn't you tell me?" Mr. Blackwood asked
"Because telling you this might embarrass me in front of the other students"
"Stop lying, my daughter, I raised you since you were little and I know very well that fame and popularity are the last thing you want" Mr. Blackwood spoke
"That's right, the real reason "I did this to myself" Emma replied
"How?" Mr. Blackwood asked in confusion
"By being a stupid heroine" she replied
"Emma, you were in a tough situation, anyone would have escaped and run for their lives, but you faced them"
"That doesn't change the fact that I'm a killer" Emma replied
"Emma you're not,...(Sigh)...don't compare yourself to those criminals, you're the complete opposite of them" Mr. Blackwood replied
He stared at the school suspiciously before looking at her and speaking "Also where's your brother?" Isn't he in school too?"
Emma looked at her father for a few seconds before answering ".....I don't know, maybe he went to the playground"
"The playground? Is he going straight?" Mr. Blackwood asked suspiciously
"... Yes, sometimes, he stays here but I don't think he's inside the school,and... What are you doing!?
Suddenly Mr. Blackwood grabbed his daughter Emma's hand and headed towards the school
"You're coming with me to school, I'm going to talk to the principal about what's happening with you" Mr. Blackwood spoke
"School is over, Dad, the head teacher is left out school, even if you go to school, nothing will change now, not to mention that they're in a really bad condition now" Emma replied
"It will change!" Mr. Blackwood shouted
"I'm going to go and discuss with the school about how they've been bullying you all this time"
"Dad, don't you see that, you're really embarrassing me! They're already lying on the ground, don't you see that!?" Emma replied
"No, Emma, I won't let that happen to you again, not today or tomorrow" Mr. Blackwood spoke angrily
As he headed inside the school, the students saw what was happening just now, and they were wondering who this was The person
And they discovered from Emma's words that this was her father, when he spoke and asked Emma about the two girls who fell to the ground and were trying to get up
Mr. Blackwood stared at them for a second before they turned away and ran away
After the enemies saw Marcus someone carrying the boy who hit Emma who became unconscious after the mummy boy hit him until his face was covered in blood
He looked at the one carrying him and looked at them with a strange look and then her eyes widened for a moment before he turned and went inside
But there was a disturbing feeling that he was suffering from since the moment he approached his daughter, he felt something watching him, he did not know who he or she was who was spying on him, but he had to admit one thing and they are very good at hiding
Not to mention that he did not know what this feeling he was suffering from, it was a mixture of dread and fear, he did not know what it was, but he knew it was good for Emma to stay inside while he searched well for the source of that intention, but there was something bigger than all of this that was bothering him
Marcus saw a cleaner in School
When the cleaner stared at Emma's face, he had an expression
"Oh Emma!What happened to your face, did Jessica and Sarah bully you again?" The cleaner spoke
"Yes, I came to talk to the principal about this" Mr. Blackwood replied as he stared at Emma
"Mr. David?" But he already left" the cleaner replied
"What?!" Mr. Blackwood shouted angrily
"Yes something came up and he left early" cleaner replied
"So what about the supervisors?" Mr. Blackwood asked
"Most of them have left but there is teacher Mason still in the teachers' room" the cleaner spoke
"Thank you" Mr. Blackwood replied respectfully
"You're welcome" the cleaner replied
Mr. Blackwood walked forward and walked down the corridor but paused for a moment before speaking "Hey one last question"
"Hmm what is it?" the cleaner asked
"My son, Andrew was he here a while ago" Mr. Blackwood asked
"Your son? Oh I didn't see him but I did see him heading and leaving towards the playground" the cleaner spoke
"... I see sorry to interrupt your work" Mr. Blackwood replied
"Don't worry about me, that's my job" the cleaner replied as he walked away
As both Mr. Blackwood and the cleaner walked away, Emma turned to the cleaner for a second before Continuing her way with her father
Marcus and Emma arrived at the teachers' room and knocked on the door forcefully. A middle-aged man wearing dark glasses opened the door
"Mr. Mason?" Marcus said in a firm tone.
"Yes, Mr. Blackwood?" The man replied in a calm tone
"If you knew me will, it would make things easier, I came to talk about the bullying incident my daughter was subjected to today, and the apparent negligence of the school in dealing with these matters."
Principal Mason stared at Emma for a moment, then looked at Marcus. "We can discuss this inside, please."
Marcus and Emma entered the room, and Mason closed the door behind them. Emma sat silently in a chair near the door, while Marcus stood in front of the principal's desk, stiff as a rock, and Principal Mason did not seem to shake or show any reaction
Emma looked at them and thought, "This is going to be a long day, I wonder if Smiley will get bored in my absence or not
