Everyone fell silent instantly.
In the corner, Ellison was almost beaten to death by Ethan, yet Ethan claimed he didn't hit him? Seeing Ethan's ruthlessness, who would dare step up to testify now? He was nothing like the teachers they had known before.
The students didn't doubt for a moment that if anyone spoke up now, they would be the next one on the ground.
Ellison struggled to get up, glaring at Ethan with a face full of malice, "You're a dead man! Wait for it!"
He took out his phone and dialed, "Dad! Come to school and save me. Some bastard dared to hit me. You must avenge me!"
Immediately, a furious voice came through the phone, "What? Did someone hit you? Wait for me, I'll be right there."
Hanging up, Ellison looked at Ethan viciously, "You think you're tough? My dad is the Federal Wrestling Champion. When he gets here, I'll make you beg for mercy."
Hearing Ellison's words, the tension on the students' faces eased slightly, and they looked at Ethan with sympathy.
But to everyone's surprise, Ethan showed no fear. Instead, he smiled and nodded, "Alright. I just wanted to have a further conversation with your father."
About ten minutes later, chaotic footsteps sounded outside the door.
Bang! The classroom door was kicked open, and a middle-aged man who resembled Ellison and exuded menace burst into the classroom, "Who hit my son?"
Ellison, with tears in his eyes, said, "Dad! You finally came!"
Seeing his father, Lawson Mitchell, Ellison felt he had support immediately. He pointed at Ethan viciously, "It's him! Dad! Look at how badly he beat me. You must avenge me."
Ethan, however, smiled.
He walked straight up to Lawson and said calmly, "Lawson, is this your son?"
Ellison cursed, "f**k! Who allowed you to look up and talk to my dad..."
"Slap!" Before he could finish, Lawson's huge palm landed on Ellison's face, sending him flying again!
Witnessing this dramatic scene, all the students who were ready to watch were left dumbfounded.
Ellison, even more confused, covered his cheek and said with a face full of grievance, "Dad, are you crazy? Why did you hit me?!"
Lawson gritted his teeth in anger, "I'm hitting you, you little bastard!"
Turning his head, Lawson's face showed a fawning smile, and his burly body took on a humble posture in front of Ethan, "Master, why are you here?"
Ethan smiled and nodded, "I remember the first time I met you ten years ago; you were just a black market fighter. It's been a few years, and you've become a champion? I'm quite surprised that you still remember me!"
Lawson trembled when he heard this. "Master, if you hadn't taught me boxing back then, I wouldn't be where I am today! I've never forgotten your great favor."
Lawson turned and glared at Ellison. "Master, did this bastard offend you? Just wait a second! I'll break his legs to apologize."
Seeing Lawson about to act, Ethan said, "Teaching should be about guiding. Violence isn't the way."
Lawson nodded quickly, "Master, you're right. Please correct me if I'm wrong."
Ethan said calmly, "It's not a big deal. Ellison is just a bit unruly. With proper education, he can get back on the right path. Since you're here, talk to him first."
Lawson nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Master! I'll educate this rascal right away!" Then, with a cold expression, he walked up to Ellison and glared, "Come with me."
Ellison followed like a defeated rooster.
No one knew what Lawson and Ellison talked about in those five minutes. When Ellison returned, he was bruised and crying, "Mr. Lee, I'm sorry. I'll never do it again. Please forgive me this time."
Ethan nodded, "Recognizing and correcting your mistakes makes you a good student. Go back to your seat."
Ellison returned to his seat obediently, and Lawson said goodbye respectfully and then left.
After Lawson left, the students' gazes towards Ethan were anything but calm.
Their eyes were filled with surprise, curiosity, and more than anything else, fear.
Ethan observed their expressions and then said, "It's late today. Let me announce some rules. Tomorrow at eight in the morning, when I enter the classroom, every one of you must be present! If anyone eats or litters in the classroom, I'll make them eat all the trash!"
Ethan said coldly, "Class dismissed." Without any further delay, he turned and left.
After a long time, the classroom exploded in chaos! The students were in a panic.
Many turned their eyes towards Zared. "Zared, what should we do now?"
