BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 42
Getting home, Valen met Jeslyn sitting on a couch in the sitting room, reading a newspaper.
‘That’s news, when did she find interest in newspapers?’ he thought as he made his way to her.
On getting closer, he realized the newspaper was turned upside down. He signed and pulled the newspaper from her, then turned it around and handed it back.
“Mum, you should be more serious when you’re about to prank me. Make it look convincing,” he rolled his eyes.
“Young man, don’t give me that attitude until you explain what you did in school today.” She folded the newspaper and set it aside, then placed one leg over the other and rested her elbow on the arms chair with her jaw on her fist.
When she received the call from the Principal, she was worried, shocked, and frightened. Her son might be anything but violent…he had never fought anyone before, let alone stab another student and beat them to a pulp. It came as a strange thing to her but knowing that Valen wouldn’t go over the line without a proper reason, she tried to calm her mind but couldn’t, so she took a newspaper to while away time. Unfortunately, her mind was lost on what might be her son’s reason to go physical.
Was she making a mistake in sending him to school? She had thought that a thousand times already and hoped he would come back sooner to fill her in on what happened.
“Nothing much.”
“It’s not closing time. If I’m not mistaken, lunch break was over thirty minutes ago and you should be in class by now. Spill it, I’m all ears.” She tried to be reasonable while silently scrutinizing his body to see if there was an injury or anything that might alert her of a serious problem.
The only blood on him were little stains on his white shirt. She assumed it was from the victim.
“I hit a bully,” he confessed and proceeded to sit on a couch but Jeslyn shook her index finger.
“Not right now. Stand in front of me and tell me why you chose violence.” She pointed at a space in front of her. She wasn’t done checking him out.
Valen sighed and did as told. Ever since the truth was revealed, he had been showing more respect to his mother and Jeslyn has also been trying to bring out the mother nature in her, even though it’s futile.
“He went overboard with bullying me.”
“Did he push you down?” She asked with a raised brow.
“He did that on the first day I started school,” but I didn’t fall. Valen didn’t say that out loud.
“Oh, so that f– child bullied you before?!” She had flared up but calmed herself and changed her tone. “You didn’t tell me that when I asked you how your day went.”
“It wasn’t important.”
“So what did he do this time?” He said it wasn’t important, so she’ll let this hang on the back of her mind for now.
“Keep guessing.” How can he explain that a child like him shoved his face into his food? That’s too degrading.
Jeslyn stared at him for a while, then her eyes narrowed at the little particles of rice on his hair. “He slammed your face into your food?!” Her voice subconsciously raised above normal.
Valen nodded fervently. He didn’t want to be blamed, also, he wanted his mother to know what happened which was why he left some rice particles in his hair. Now that he has a mother, he should enjoy being spoiled a little, right?
Jeslyn’s frown deepened. ‘What else was that demon child intending to do to my Valen? Did he intend to dip Valen’s head into the toilet next time?! How dare that boy?!! Serves him right. His hand should have been cut off! His parents will hear from me tomorrow!’ her face had a slight frown but her mind was jumping around in anger.
However, what came out of her mouth was the complete opposite of what her mind was saying. “That’s not enough to stab a fork into his hand.” She almost pinched herself when she heard what she said. ‘It was more than enough!’ her inner demon screamed at her.
“He did something else… Mom, you can’t allow your child to be bullied. That’s not what mothers do” he said with stubbornness lacing his face.
“You think you know better than me what I should do?” She glared at him. “Bullying is not to be tolerated. However, you went overboard again. You are allowed to reciprocate, but stop doing the extreme, Valen! It would make you the guilty one if your matters are reported and that’s not what we want. Seek retribution, but also make it so that the person ends up being the guilty one no matter what. Are we clear on this?”
“Mother, that’s too petty. That should be a revenge plan for cute girls, not me. Seek revenge but dish it out with a harder plate, so that when they see you next time, they’ll take another route… my legs are aching, and I want to sit.” Although he said that, he didn’t sit down until Jeslyn nodded.
He was right and Jeslyn knows that but he’s too young to be taught that. What is she supposed to do now that her son has started implementing this rule of life at such a young age?
She sighed in resignation, not knowing what to do with this child anymore. Good thing he wasn’t a troublemaker, he was only defending himself and not causing trouble.
However, what Jeslyn failed to know was that Valen provoked the bullies when he gave Mia a green light on the day he started school.
On that day, after he got introduced and went to his seat, he realized that Mia was the most interesting student in the class because, both the students and teachers liked her and wouldn’t stop smiling sheepishly at her, so he made up his mind at that moment to hook the girl.
At lunchtime, Mia was sitting at a table opposite him and Valen started to make cute faces that got Mia to be mesmerized. Although the child had noticed him before in class, she was too shy to approach him or speak to him because Valen was simply too cold and unapproachable.
However, when she suddenly saw a cute side to Valen, she was mesmerized and immediately wanted to talk to him. As she stood up, Valen got up and left the cafeteria.
He did that on purpose, wanting her to keep chasing him around for his plan to work.

In class, on that same day, Valen started to display intelligence that was beyond their age. All the girls in class couldn’t help loving him and Mia wasn’t an exception, which was why, on the second day, she brought a cake for Valen but was coldly rejected.
Mia had never tasted rejection before, which was why, after Valen publicly rejected her, she made it her goal to befriend him by all means. So when Lu Zack who liked Mia and had been running around her like a fly saw this, he was furious and it gave birth to the idea of bullying Valen until he quit school.
Presently, Jeslyn reckoned the stubborn Valen must have abandoned his food, so she asked: “You didn’t eat, did you?”
“The idiot ruined my mooncake.”
“Oh, and you’ve been craving that for some days now… alright, I’ll make you some, on the condition that you’ll tell the boy you are sorry and shouldn’t have injured his hand.”
“But it was fine that I beat his face, right?” He curled his lips when he saw her face changing.
Jeslyn gasped. The principal didn’t tell her that. “Y– you beat his face and still stabbed his hand?!” That was someone’s child ah!
“Mhm. I wanted to beat his body but he was too thick. It felt like I was hitting slime and it was annoying, and he wasn’t feeling the amount of pain I wanted to see, so I beat his face. I’m sure he won’t be talking or eating for a long time. And a few teeth must have fallen off… mum, he’s the first person I’ve ever beaten and it was satisfying.” He beamed with squinted eyes.
Annoying Jeslyn is too interesting. Didn’t he tell her he didn’t want to go to school?
“Valen!!” Jeslyn screamed when she saw how unapologetic he was.
“Hehe… I’ll be in my room. Inform me when the mooncakes are ready. That should serve as a lesson to all of them both now and in the future. As for that girl trying to catch my attention, I’m sure she would see me as a monster now. Good riddance. hmph!” He walked away after that, leaving Jeslyn in utter shock.
‘This child… This child shall be a big trouble in the future! God help me!’ Jeslyn cried in her heart as she watched his small frame slowly walk the stairs with pride and arrogance hovering above his head.

*The next morning at school…*
Inside the Principal’s office, the higher-ups were standing behind the Principal while an elegantly dressed woman with flawless skin was seen sitting on a chair across from the Principal’s table. With how hard her face was, it needed no dissection to know she had said some nasty words to the Principal and was taking a deep breath, while waiting for the parents of the child who hurt her son.
Four guards were standing gallantly behind her with their broad chests puffed out.
“When are they coming?! Do you expect me to wait another thirty minutes for them? Give me the damn address to their home, they need to be taught a lesson on how to raise that violent wolf they call a son!!” She thundered.
“If my son is a wolf, then yours is a dog with a wolf tag, so he should have watched well before leaping at its master.” Jeslyn’s cold voice drifted into the office before she did.
She was wearing a knee–length black glittering gown with a nude jacket on top. A black purse, a black hat, and shades, with half of her face covered with a black mask.
As she stepped into the office in her six-inch heels making clicking sounds, Lu Zack’s mother couldn’t help but admire the glamorous young lady in front of her. Even though her face was concealed, there was no denying it that she was filthy rich… but who is this woman? What family is she from? Those questions took over the rage that had been building up inside her since yesterday.
Code 5 pulled out a chair for Jeslyn and she sat on it before crossing her leg and turning her head to look at the woman who called her wonderful son a wolf.
The Principal wanted to stand up and say his greetings, but without turning, Jeslyn motioned with her hand for him to sit down. It wouldn’t be good if he addressed her as Madam Lu… Just yet.
“Did you not feel ashamed when you opened that mouth of yours to call my son a violent wolf?” She slowly took off the shades and the hat, revealing half of her face and letting her hair that was made into a messy bun to frame her gorgeous forehead.
Talking to a woman like this requires action and not mere words, so she didn’t want anything to get in the way, in case a need arises that she wants to beat some senses into this woman. Thought Jeslyn.
“So you are his mother?… Ha, no wonder you gave birth to such an atrocious child. You should be the one ashamed for spoiling your child so much and–”
“Hahahaha…” Jeslyn suddenly laughed. Her laughter was rich to the ears and made those who heard it want more. “Says the woman who never taught her son that bullying is not acceptable, no matter the age.”
Lu Zack’s mother didn’t fail to hear the sarcasm in her tone. She turned to the principal, she didn’t want to battle words with this troublesome woman. Her family has all the money and power she needs, so instead of demeaning herself to such an extent as wasting time talking too much, she’d rather make this woman know why the Lu family is feared around the world. “Principal, what do you have to say about this?”
“Madam Lu, I…” he glanced passively at Jeslyn who was drumming the desk with her fingers, and sighed. “It was the fault of the school for not paying special attention to the children. The school apologizes and promises to take responsibility.” The Principal and a few higher–ups bowed in apology.
“What does this mean? You are taking all the blame? And the kid?…” She chuckled dryly. “Don’t make a mistake, Mr. Principal. You’ll pay for it too, but not just you. The kid and his parents would also pay the price for not raising their son well.”
Jeslyn yawned when she heard she and Maverick would pay for not raising Valen well. “Tsk. What a joke.” She commented out loud and rolled her eyes.
Madam Lu turned to look at her with annoyance on her face. How could Jeslyn interrupt her in such a cheap way? So uncultured. She suddenly felt disgusted.
Jeslyn saw the look on her face but instead of retaliating at being looked at as if she was unworthy, she gestured for her to continue: “Go on, you’re making this boring office entertaining.”
“How dare you!” Madam Lu roared.
“Hehe…” Jeslyn chuckled.
“Very good… Guards, call the cops.”
“Ma’am, the cops are already here.” Valen’s form teacher walked in with some cops.
“Good job, officers, arrest this country bumpkin. She instigated her son to kill my son. My Lu family will never tolerate that. We didn’t make the money we have, the power, and fame for our children to be bullied by a non-entity. If I wanted to, I could have bought yours and your son’s miserable lives and made you both servants to my son!”
Jeslyn Snickered.
Everyone in the Country knows who Madam Lu was and what she’s capable of, still, she thought it was necessary to remind them.
Hearing the Lu family, the leader of the team immediately stepped forward, wanting to arrest Jeslyn.
The Principal was almost peeing in his pants. ‘That is Alpha Chaos’ wife!’ He almost screamed it out loud but didn’t dare when Jeslyn glared at him.
“Are you sure you won’t regret this?” She asked the female officer who was about to place handcuffs on her.
From the little she knew about the law, handcuffs were for criminals but why didn’t this officer know that? Unless…
Jeslyn narrowed her eyes at Madam Lu and saw her smiling. She turned to Valen’s form teacher. She was also smiling.
Oh, now she gets it!
Jeslyn suddenly pulled her hands back and folded one leg over the other.
“I’m being seen as a criminal for a fight that happened between children. This case could have been settled amicably behind closed doors. Paying me around half a billion dollars would have undoubtedly eased my son’s heart and stopped him from beating your son up in the future but since things had turned this way, I’m not in for an indoor settlement anymore. I’m calling my lawyer. Your son can’t bully my son and go scot-free and you also can’t bully me with cops and money, and be happy.” With that said, she pulled out her phone and called Spid.
“Hello, please hurry to the office of The Principal of ‘Marvel Right’s Academy.’ I’m being bullied and ganged up against.”
