87 Nightmare (2/2)

Not to mention the benefits gained from such activities were shared among the management. In other words, the governing council would gain as well instead of him alone.

The money earned in the fundraiser was an example of this. These fundraisers consisted of donations from rich parents who are far too eager to see their child in the institute. On the paper, the money was reserved for building new facilities or develop existing ones but in truth, the money was for the management.

It was the right of the principal to manage such activities as long as everyone at the top gets a fair share of it. So what wrong has he done this time?!

Floyd caught Owain by his hairs and then threw him on a sofa nearby.

”Don't make him lose consciousness now,” Floyd coldly ordered the doctors. His mood was already ruined when he got the message a few hours ago.

Today he was to 'celebrate' his birthday at the resort but everything was ruined by this bastard. The 'gifts' he has purchased for himself were still in the resort.

”Yes,” The doctors hurriedly gave emergency treatment to Owain. They healed him enough to make sure he retained his consciousness for a long time.

”What wrong have I done in removing students?!” Owain asked as he saw Floyd walking towards him.

His injuries were slightly healed but the pain he now was far more terrible. Earlier his senses were knocked out but now the treatment has opened his senses.

”You removed Zed, and yet you ask what wrong you have done?” Floyd said in a cold voice.

”Zed?!” Owain felt like his heart was pierced with a knife. His body froze in disbelief and fright as Floyd's words set in his mind.

”You made me and others a target of 'that man' by removing Zed. Yet you have done no wrong?” Floyd slowly asked as he took another step towards Owain.

”That kid has such a frightening background?!” Owain felt as if his entire blood had been sucked out of his body. He lost his balance from the sofa and fell on the floor with a thud sound.

His face lost what color it had as he remembered the words Zed has spoken hours ago.

”You are not understanding the trouble you are creating for yourself,” Zed's words refloated inside his mind.

Back then he has thought that Zed was just being arrogant. He has checked Zed's background and was sure the kid was nothing but a lucky slum insect who made a fortune through luck.

Owain has even laughed on Zed for being so cocky in front of him. Zed, on the other hand, has then told him that he hoped Owain can continue to laugh in the future.

Owain couldn't laugh now. His entire face was ruined as if a train has stepped on it. The other parts of his bodies were in no less pain due to the broken bones and internal injuries.

Owain glanced at Floyd who was slowly walking towards him. He then thought of Zed's final words before he left: ”Better search for a new city and a new job.”

Owain now knew the words were more than just empty advice. But he couldn't believe the turn of events.

Today he was planning to celebrate given the favors he has earned but now his life has turned into a joke. The decision which was supposed to elevate him to success has instead brought him to depths of hell.

He refused to believe this was reality.

”Yes! This has to be a nightmare! There is no way a slum insect can turn my life upside down!”
