“Apologize! ” Darryl kicked hard another time.
“Darryl, enough! You’ll kill him if you continue!” Yvonne finally came to her senses, pulling Darryl back.
“You’d better f*cking pologize to my wife! ” Darryl screamed. He was delirious. No one could stop him while he kept kicking Xavier in the head.
Xavier broke. He knew if he did not apologize, Darryl might kill him.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Xavier screamed. He hugged his head. “I was wrong. I’m sorry. I’m sorry…”
“Honey, do you forgive him?” Darryl laughed and gazed at Lily. His eyes were extremely gentle. It was a one eighty-change from the lunatic he was a second ago.
Lily trembled. She nodded. If she said that she does not forgive, Darryl might not have stopped—Xavier could have died.
Then, a sixty-year-old man approached them—it was the Discipline Master. He asked, “What is going on?”
Upon seeing him, a few students were delighted — they indulged in schadenfreude. The Discipline Master was extremely strict. Darryl was done for since hitting a teacher was against the school rules.
Seeing Xavier on the floor, the Discipline Master’s face darkened. He asked slowly, “What is happening?”
Fighting in school?
There was silence. Most of the students were looking at Darryl. Lily panicked. She wanted to explain since this started because Xavier flirted with her.
Before she could speak, Declan Noel stood up. “ Master, Darryl openly beat a teacher up! ” he exclaimed, “It’s despicable! He should be punished!”
Katherine approached the Discipline Master. “ Darryl is my student,” she added, “I will punish him accordingly.”
She then walked up to Darryl and slapped him without warning.
SLAP!
Katherine was an ordinary human. The slap was not painful, but it rang loud and clear.
