Chapter 81 - 81. Making Amends

You... Sophie was shocked. Did I need to remind you he's with the FBI? Nathan was

surprised by Sophie's concern. He wasn't sure why she was involving herself.

Nathan, sure of himself, raised his head and looked at Aiden. This is between me and the

captain. Stay out of it.

He then continued. Don't think you're important just because you know Arthur. To me,

you are just a kid.

Raven, how can you talk to my boss like that? Ross frowned. You should apologize. He

may be young, but he's got skills.

He even bested me in hand-to-hand combat. Sophie's jaw dropped, her mouth hanging

open in an O shape. What had she just heard? Ross, Maple Leaf Doblar, Special Forces

fighter and former captain of Wolf Brigade, a man who scared countless enemies, said

Aiden was a stronger fighter than him? Ha ha, Nathan sneered.

Captain, I really don't understand what kind of infatuation you have with this boy. Even if

you want to praise him, how about an actual reason? If he's actually better than you,

then just say so. I can make him the director of the NSB.

At Nathan's look of disbelief, Ross said, If you don't

believe me, you can have a try. However, the scandal said that in the front, it would be

too ugly to lose. Don't blame me for reminding me first.

Ross went to Aiden and apologetically said, Boss, this boy is stubborn. Now I can only

trouble you to show your hands a little bit and convince the man. Aiden's face sank.

But he stood in the middle of the open space, facing Nathan forced to make a decision.

Come on, let's make this quick so I can get to bed, Aiden said. I don't have much free

time like you.

I have school in the morning. Sophie widened her eyes and said, Are you on drugs?

Director Harris is a special ops. Do you know what that means? Sophie continued, He

could beat you to the point where you can't take care of yourself with one hand tied

behind his back.

Haha! Nathan laughed. Sophie might be right. I'll just use one hand to fight this kid.

Nathan stepped in front of Aiden and made a show out of putting his right hand behind

his back. His left hand, he motioned to Aiden. Come on.

He looked arrogant and didn't regard Aiden as an equal. In that case, Aiden said, Don't

blame me for beating up an old man. Aiden's eyes narrowed slightly and centered his

strength in his feet.

The system in Aiden's head turned on. Trigger Master Sprint Ability. Trigger Master Level

Strength.

Trigger Master Level Fist Power. Aiden's body, like that of a cheetah, radiated fairly

controlled energy. They started less than 10 feet apart.

But in the blink of an eye, Aiden stood toe-to-toe with Nathan. Nathan only felt that the

strong wind before Aiden's fist struck him in the eye. His pupils shrank at the oncoming

punch, desperately trying to avoid the shocking blow.

But his body had been unable to keep up with his sight. Nathan's body was blasted into

the air, flipping over before he fell to the ground several yards away. Sophie rubbed her

eyes to see if she was dreaming.

Just a moment ago, just a few seconds ago, Nathan Harris, an expert fighter in her mind,

had been blown away by one punch from Aiden's fist. In the open space, Nathan got up

with some difficulty. At the moment, he attempted to cover the annoyance at having a

swollen cheek by wearing a blank expression.

But the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth and dripping onto his shirt and the

ground gave away his injuries. Well, I told you that the store manager was tough. Ross

joked as he handed Nathan a paper towel to wipe his face.

Aiden dropped his fighting stance and shook his head, feigning boredom. He has not hit

the addiction. Nathan fell.

That's what happened to the special forces. But this look is to stimulate Nathan into a fit

of madness. Is this kid looking down on me? The power of Aiden's punch flashed through

his mind.

And in an instant, he backed down. He'd always bested his enemies in the past. But with

Aiden's skill and strength, even if Nathan tried to defend himself, could not block a strike

from Aiden.

The power behind Aiden's punch was fierce like a tiger. Anyone would be afraid. Nathan

thought of all how he'd just ridiculed Aiden and was ashamed.

He felt that his face turned red with embarrassment in addition to the swelling and pain.

But he did not dare to look up at Aiden. He'd just been humiliated.

A former operative of the Wolf Brigade, now the director of the NSB, had been knocked

down by a high school student. If this news spread out, Nathan doesn't know how he

could show his face in public again.

Ross looked at his pig-headed friend's swollen face and tried not to

laugh. You still object to me staying here? He asked. Nathan immediately shook his head again and again and glanced at Aiden, saying, It's much safer for you to stay here than

for me.

Of course, now I'm tempted to stay here too and learn from this kid. Nathan then asked

Ross, Captain, please help me over there so I can apologize to him. Nathan rethought his

situation.

Maybe it wasn't terrible to be humiliated, since it meant getting to see the power of

Aiden. Aiden, Nathan said, I apologize to you. Alas, today I finally see what the real

monster is.

I am convinced of it. You just think that I didn't say those words just now and let go of

my silly behavior as a fart then he was embarrassed. The position of the director of the

NSB does not have the final say.

Looking at Nathan's swelling head and knowing how much pain he must be in, Aiden

could not help but smile and accept Nathan's apology. Like Aiden, Nathan was also

concerned about Ross, and that had influenced his behavior. But this kind of straight-to-

do-not-hide-not-choke, lose-also-can-lose-open-and-above-board straightforward temper,

on the contrary, varied to Aiden's appetite.

At least it's better than the hypocrites. Nathan, as the director of NSB, could back down a

little. In return, Aiden would stop pushing.

Aiden pretended to be puzzled and said, What just happened? Nathan laughed lightly

and looked at Ross. Then all of them laughed at the situation. Love and hatred died with

a smile.

As Aiden entered the restaurant with Ross, Nathan watched him from behind. The shock

on his face had not completely faded. He wondered, Math genius? Business genius?

Special forces fighting ability? What else does this guy have that we don't know? I'm

starting to think he can fix the firewall, Nathan said out loud.

I think so too, this perverted alien, Sophie murmured to herself. Nathan tried to squeeze

out a smile despite his swollen face. Sophie, take me to visit the scenic spots in Bayside

District tomorrow.

Sophie looked at Nathan's appearance. He was like a ghost now, and the scene of being

beaten by Aiden replayed constantly in her mind. Her former impression of Nathan as a

great man collapsed.

By contrast, Aiden, who had already occupied a place in her heart, suddenly lifted her

spirits and destroyed Nathan's brilliance in her eyes. Sophie looked between Nathan and

Aiden a few times, then folded her hands and said with an apology, Nathan, I suddenly

remembered that I have to work overtime tomorrow. She laughed and said, You'll haveto entertain yourself.

And with that, she turned and headed down the street. Sophie! Sophie! Hello! Nathan

called a few times behind her, but Sophie disappeared around the corner. What just

happened? Nathan scratched his head, but couldn't make sense of things.

After that night's incident, Nathan's attitude towards Aiden changed greatly. Regarding

the research for the firewall, Nathan sent Aiden everything he asked for. As a result,

Aiden got a lot of precious computer books that were not sold to the public.

They were special books for the FBI's Cybercrimes Division. Aiden quickly absorbed the

knowledge in those books, improving his computer ability, so he could develop a new

firewall for the government. It was during his work on the firewall that the high school

examination results came out.Today, it's time to announce the results of the

monthly examination.

The atmosphere in junior year was surprisingly dignified. Even Viola, who has always

been confident in her study, was nervously pinching herself and constantly looking at the

corridor. Their math teacher, Mr. Harvey, would be announcing the monthly test results

of the class, and Viola expected him to come through the door any minute.

Aiden, of course, was not concerned about the results because he was busy with other

work. The importance of the firewalls had taken precedence for him. The sooner it was

operational, the better.

After all, every minute without it, the nation's military secrets risked being stolen. Aiden,

a child of Chesterton State, did not want to see that happen. He'd completed half the

needed work on the firewall over the weekend, but come Monday, Aiden had no choice

but to bring his laptop to school and continue working during class.

In the silent classroom, the sound of Aiden tapping at the keyboard was noticeable to

everyone. From time to time, the class monitor Leo Barnes looked at Aiden with

annoyance in his eyes. Finally, Mr. Harvey entered the classroom, and everyone relaxed

a little.

The results of the first monthly examination were very important. Mr. Harvey had written

a long analysis report, which detailed the individual and overall examination scores for

the class, but he did not announce the class rank. Finally, just when everyone's hearts

was about to lose their minds, Mr. Harvey unfolded his score sheet.

This month, the results of the examination were beyond my expectations, he began. Mr.

Harvey's eyes shifted to Aiden intentionally or unintentionally. With the learning ability

that Aiden had shown prior to the exam, everyone in junior year agreed that Aiden would probably be number one in the class.

Even the college won't be difficult for him. However, looking at Mr. Harvey's expression,

it seemed that there was something intriguing in the results. Students wondered if there

were other students tied for first place.

There were 50 students in the class, and Mr. Harvey started from the lowest score. The

first people to hear their names were Aiden and Aiden.
