Chapter 10 - 100 % D X +15 The teacher stood there gaping , mouth opening and closing like a fish , too scared to even try calming things down . All he could do was to pray things didn't spiral out of control . ' Cause if this shitstorm hit the fan , the Everton couple would have his head on a platter . Scorn , disdain , belittlement … Mockery , ridicule … Standing in the crowd , Narissa - now the prime target - felt her expression darken , her mood turning colder by the second . Even though she never cared about these people and only came back for her parents , that didn't mean she'd just stand there and take the hits . Growing up in a cutthroat environment , Narissa knew one thing for sure : people only believe what they see and hear . So , she wouldn't explain . She wouldn't defend herself . Insults ? Disrespect ? Fine . She'd make them shut their loud mouths - with blood as the price . Swish ! Just as Narissa flipped her hand , a blade that could refract light in a graceful arc was silently gripped in her palm . She was about to strike back when- " What are you all doing ! " A sharp shout suddenly sounded . Following that , a young man , dressed in a racing suit and standing about 6 feet tall , walked in through the door of the training center . He had a male helmet tucked under his arm , looking every bit the dashing figure . The young man had naturally deep , soulful eyes - just one glance could make anyone fall hopelessly under their spell . Paired with his tall , robust frame and the faint outline of his broad shoulders beneath the racing suit , he was downright irresistible . Though he couldn't quite match Bastien's perfectly sculpted , battle - ready physique , among ordinary young men , he was top - tier . His sudden appearance made Narissa flip her hand again and hide that glint of silver . Soon , Narissa noticed that her so - called older sister , Cressida - who had been at odds with her just moments ago - instantly softened her gaze the moment she saw the young man . Her eyes were practically glued to him , as if coated with superglue . She couldn't look away . " Jaylen , what brings you here ? " Cressida stepped forward , her voice dripping with sweetness . It was obvious to Narissa at a glance - her sister had a crush on Jaylen . And that was indeed the case . Jaylen - the first son of Sinney's untouchable Presley dynasty . The Presleys and the Evertons ? They basically ran this town . 1/2 12:03 Tue , Aug 19 100 % D X - +15 Chapter 10 And this heir ? Total package : face carved by gods , brain bursting with genius , and the literal poster boy for the city's elite incubator program . There was nothing he wasn't good at . Naturally , he was adored and pursued by countless women in the city's elite circles . But he was both gentle and aloof - like right now , when his cold , serious demeanor made it impossible for anyone to ignore him . " Jaylen , we were just teaching this new student a lesson . Her background is shady , and we all think she doesn't deserve to study here , " Miranda quickly stepped in , eager to smear Narissa's name . As she spoke , she shot Narissa a vicious glare . Unexpectedly , Jaylen's gaze landed on Narissa , who , despite wearing no makeup , still looked stunningly fresh and lovely . His previously stern and icy expression softened slightly . Not because he was drawn to her , but simply out of gentlemanly courtesy , he said gently , " Heroes aren't defined by their origins . " If anyone had a choice , they wouldn't choose to do bad things . Since she's joined our training program , she's one of us now . She can always choose to be a different person from here on out . " As seniors , you should be looking out for new students , not bullying them . Don't let me catch this kind of behavior again . " 2/2
