Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

The other teachers also stood up and looked at Lela. "Don't act rashly."

After all, they were well aware of Lela's reputation.

They were afraid that Lela was the same girl who had been in fights before. If she started another one right here, they would be in danger. Alvin also stood up and looked at them. "What are you all doing? She's just a kid."

Seeing so many colleagues supporting her, Dorothy was emboldened. She pointed at Lela but spoke to Alvin, "Look at her; she doesn't look like a student at all." Lela glanced at these people, smirked, and said, "Spreading rumors, distorting facts. So, this is how a teacher at Holy Light Elite Academy works?"

These words implied Dorothy was a lousy teacher.

Before Dorothy could speak, Lela continued, "Besides, is it against school rules for students to take leave? Are you blind or what? Do you need to be fixed?"

She had learned this phrase from Sylvester and didn't expect to use it so soon.

After saying this, she glanced mockingly at Dorothy and the other teachers, then turned and left.

Her arrogant demeanor pissed off all of them.

Dorothy had no choice but to point at Alvin again, glaring. "Mr. Scott, what a good student of yours, daring to disrespect her teachers. Just wait, I'll definitely report this to the principal."

Alvin was also angry. He was a retired special forces soldier, but after the Scott family and his beloved sister Amanda were gone, he became despondent. It was only with Alfonso's help that he came to work at Holy Light Elite Academy. Alvin was tall, with deep-set features, and had grown up in a wealthy family. Although he had fallen on hard times, he still had an intimidating aura. When he got angry, his face darkened, and the entire office was filled with tension.

Dorothy trembled in fear and barked, "What do you want to do?"

Alvin looked at Dorothy and took a deep breath. "Dorothy, you'd better watch your mouth, or it won't be good for your future if this reaches the principal."

Dorothy was furious but knew he had a point, so she said nothing, though she felt extremely uncomfortable inside.

At this moment, Alvin's phone rang. It was a message from abroad.

[Arnold, finally, we found you. With important news, we are willing to beg Arnold to return.]

[Regarding the Scott family and the deaths of Amanda and Flora.]

Seeing the first message, Alvin didn't pay much attention, but when he saw the second one, he immediately gripped his phone tightly, grabbed his coat, and left Holy Light Elite Academy.

In Aurora Isle, it was similar to Klievoria state a few years ago, with frequent unrest.

At this moment, there weren't many people on the streets. Blue-eyed soldiers in camouflage uniforms were driving tanks back and forth on the streets.

Rows of soldiers carrying cannons and assault rifles were vigilantly watching their surroundings, fearing sudden unrest.

At the palace gate, a man in traditional local attire, along with his wife, was surrounded by soldiers, looking distantly at the approaching modified military jeeps.

The car door opened, and a pair of long legs emerged.

President Louis Turner and his wife Melissa Clark looked on with excitement and tension.
