On the other hand, the horoom teacher couldn’t bear it anymore. She smiled and tried to calm John down.
"Mr. Brut, parents will be coming to pick up their kids after school. If you keep her here, I’m afraid..."
John shot her a glare.
"Afraid of what?! As a teacher, I have the power to give punishnt to the students. If anyone has a problem with it, they can co to !"
The horoom teacher’s face turned red and then white in frustration.
John wasn’t bluffing. He was in charge of Taekwondo competitions at the provincial and even national levels, having a strange relationship with governors and mayors. Most of the parents here were businesspeople. As the old saying goes, even the richest fear those with power.
Therefore, other parents here always showed him respect, which beca the reason why he acted so arrogantly.
"But this is punishing a student without reason. The kids can resolve this among themselves, and it’s not right for you to intervene. I won’t allow you to punish my students!"
John pointed at the horoom teacher’s nose and started to curse, "Who do you think you are? If you can’t understand plain language, just get lost! This school doesn’t need a teacher like you!"
Then, he looked at Emma.
"You, go over there and reflect on your behavior!"
The horoom teacher wanted to say sothing more, but John pushed her aside. She almost lost her footing but was caught by a pair of strong hands on her shoulders.
She turned around to look directly into Niki’s adorable eyes.
Niki spoke up, "Long ti no see. How did you end up bullying little kids? Moreover, you’re picking on a kid that’s under my care?"
Hearing that cute, child-like voice made John break out in a cold sweat. He turned around and, seeing Niki, swallowed hard.
"Ni... Niki?"
This woman was his nightmare.
Five years ago, he was representing the province in a Taekwondo tournant. He had almost won a gold dal at that ti, only to be criticized by a child-like girl in the audience for using cheap tricks.
Unconvinced, he made a public bet that if the girl could beat him, he would apologize to all the contestants.
Regardless of experience, size, or gender, he thought he would undoubtedly win.
To his surprise, she had defeated him easily with just two moves, forcing him to apologize to the contestants and hand over his dal in front of everyone.
Later, he found out she was the globally-renowned Taekwondo genius, Niki. She was just there for fun and had not even done any formal training, which tore apart his reputation completely.
Thankfully, the competition was held abroad and wasn’t a major event, so not many knew about it back ho.
But now, the source of his nightmare had suddenly appeared before him.
He instantly broke into a cold sweat and swiftly carried Kenny away.
The horoom teacher had no idea what had just happened and was confused until she heard Emma’s sweet voice.
"Auntie Niki, you’re here~"
‘Niki? It’s actually her!’
The horoom teacher was stunned. After Kenny had bullied Emma last ti, she searched the internet for renowned Taekwondo experts and found Niki, the genius who could reportedly kick a car into disrepair.
However, the news featured only her competition photos, wearing professional gear with neatly styled hair. There were barely any images of her in more casual attire. She had never expected Niki to be such a cute girl in real life.
Back ho, John appeared as if he had lost his soul. Seeing this prompted his wife, Mona Brut, to ask, "What happened? Did sothing happen at school again?"
He snapped back to reality and quickly grabbed her hand.
"Darling, with your father’s vast connections, can you help find out what relationship this kid has with Niki?"
She looked at the photo of Emma on his phone and nodded sowhat impatiently.
John was an in-law who had married into the Anderson family, a family that had ancestral ties with the governnt. Thus, he had gained benefits from these connections, becoming a nationally-known Taekwondo expert using so governnt resources.
But in the household, it was still Mona who had the final say.

The next morning, Mona set off for the Lawrence family’s residence to discuss a project with Steven. Upon eting him, she felt intimidated by his cold aura.
Although her family had so connections in the political arena, she could not help but feel a bit scared when facing the absolute dominator over Star City’s various industries.
"Mr. Lawrence, this is our family’s costics distribution project. Please take a look..."
Steven frowned and refused outright.
"Not interested."
However, she wasn’t about to give up.
"If you collaborate with us on this project, I can provide political resources and monopolize the entire province’s industrial chain..."
All of a sudden, Steven’s phone began ringing, his screen lighting up. Mona glanced over and saw a photo of Alex on the screen.
