Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Kael’s Breakdown, Elyra’s Regret, and May’s Despair

Aiden heard what Kael said and couldn’t help but smile. His face showed a calm and expectant look as he said:

“Okay, I’d like to see what you’re going to do.”

Kael took a deep breath and looked directly at May.

May immediately lowered her head, trembling all over. Her mind was filled with the same thought: “It’s all over. I’m finished.”

Kael was full of confidence as he said: “This is Aiden’s old teacher, May. She found out he cheated a few times, and he didn’t even try to change. She even wanted to help him.”

“But Aiden? He didn’t even realize he was wrong. He even threatened May, the teacher!”

“This kind of person doesn’t deserve to be at this dinner at all!”

Everyone in the room turned their eyes to May. Mayor Randy spoke coldly, asking:

“Teacher May, is what Kael said true?”

May felt like she couldn’t breathe. She didn’t know if it was true or not. She just remembered that Elyra had said it and even given her a gift.

Plus, Aiden didn’t seem scared at all. He didn’t even ask for her help. Instead, he dared to argue back.

But now it was too late. If she admitted she was wrong, what would others think of her?

Would she still be fit to be a teacher?

May bit her lip, her voice shaking as she finally said: “Yes… that’s true.”

Right away, the whole room erupted in noise.

Many of The White City’s upper-class people had already thought it was strange that Aiden, just an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice, could talk and laugh with important people from The Sovereign City.

But now, they saw with their own eyes that Aiden was actually a complete failure.

Randy had already checked the truth, and now May was still trying to spread lies about Aiden!

That was truly unforgivable. He had no sense of shame at all!

He couldn’t hold back anymore. He took a few steps forward and was about to slap May in the face.

But just then, Aiden smiled and said:”Where’s the evidence?”

“What?” May was stunned.

Aiden walked slowly toward her and repeated: “I said, where’s the evidence?”

“Whoever questions someone should provide proof. You can’t just make up things out of nowhere, right?”

May stayed silent. She had no evidence at all!

Vespera and Vivi and the others immediately understood. They weren’t stupid—they could tell something was wrong with May.

Accusing someone without proof was common. A rumor could destroy someone’s life in an instant.

But Aiden wasn’t just an ordinary person. He was a level 10, someone who had killed a level 40 Abyss Boss. He was definitely a real genius.

What really surprised Vespera and the others was Aiden’s calm expression.

Especially Vivi, who looked at Aiden and suddenly remembered a saying. She whispered it out:

“A person who has a storm in their heart but keeps a calm face can be a great general.”

John asked: “What does that mean?”

Vivi explained: “It’s a saying my older brother once told me. I didn’t understand it before, but now I see it fits Aiden perfectly.”

Vespera said quietly: “Calmness comes from confidence. Real strong people don’t let their emotions change easily. Because they always have a way to solve problems.”

People from remote and backward places often judge a person’s future based on the level of their awakened profession.

But in The Sovereign City, many geniuses know that besides one’s profession, there’s another important factor that decides how high someone can go—their character.

Vespera looked back at Luke, the vice president of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association. He was the perfect example.

At eighteen, he awakened as a Silver Rank Support Cleric. By forty-four, he had become the vice president of the association, and his profession had evolved into a Legendary Rank Tyrant Cleric. He was a true legend in The Sovereign City.

At that moment, Luke was watching Aiden with interest, as if thinking about something.

Mayor Randy took a deep breath and said in a serious voice: “May, you’d better hope you can find some proof. Otherwise, I’ll have you sent to prison for slandering a city hero!”

“Aiden didn’t just kill the regional red-flagged boss, the Iron Dragon. He also killed the national-class red-flagged boss, the Flame Demon Oslu in the Abyss!”

“This person has done so much for The White City, for Ironvale, and for the country. How could you dare to insult him?!”

May suddenly lifted her head, her face completely shocked.

Aiden had actually killed a regional red-flagged boss and a national-class red-flagged boss?

How was that even possible? He was so young!

It wasn’t long since the Awakening Day, and everyone else was still under level ten. But Aiden had killed a level 40 Abyss demon boss.

“This can’t be true! He’s just an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice. How could he do something like this?” May trembled and shouted without thinking.

She suddenly turned to Elyra, her face full of despair. “It was you! You told me Aiden cheated in the exam and gave me a potion that increases damage, making me expel him!”

“I’m innocent! This isn’t my fault! It’s hers!”

May pointed a finger at Elyra, her eyes full of anger.

Elyra instinctively tried to move away, but no matter where she went, May kept pointing at her. And everyone around her was now staring directly at her.

Elyra bit her lip and tried to explain: “No, no, I didn’t mean it. I was just suspicious. It was May who didn’t check or confirm anything before she decided Aiden cheated.”

“As for the potion, it was just a gift I gave to May, as a way to thank her for teaching me. It wasn’t meant to…”

Before she could finish, May suddenly went crazy. She grabbed Elyra by the hair and shouted:

“You bitch! This is all because of you! It’s your fault!”

“You destroyed me!”

“It’s all your fault! If it wasn’t for you, I would still be Aiden’s teacher, his student! Killing a national-class boss—what a big honor that would have been!”

May pulled at Elyra’s hair and clothes. The elegant black evening dress she was wearing quickly became a mess, and she looked like a homeless woman on the street.

Mayor Randy couldn’t take it anymore and ordered someone to hold May back.

Elyra clutched her clothes, trembling all over. She looked at Aiden with a helpless expression. Her eyes were red, and she said in a pitiful voice:

“Aiden, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I really was wrong.”

“Please, forgive me this time.”

Aiden ignored Elyra’s plea and turned to Kael, who was still shocked and speechless. “What else do you want to do now?”

“Oh, by the way, you didn’t know, did you? The batch of Diamond Rank materials your guild was planning to buy? They were mine.”

Kael suddenly looked like he had been struck by lightning. He was completely stunned.

That was why Aiden had said “thank you for the reminder” and promised to give him a surprise that day.

The Diamond Rank materials his guild really needed to buy were actually Aiden’s!

So that meant his father, Ronald, beating him up was also because of Aiden!

As the leader of the Dragonlight Guild, Ronald could no longer stay calm. He kicked Kael hard in the leg.

Kael fell to his knees in front of Aiden.

“Mr. Aiden, it was my fault for not guiding Kael properly. That’s why there was so much misunderstanding between him and you.”

“I’ll make him apologize to you. Is that okay?” Ronald said, smiling with a friendly and respectful expression.

Right now, Aiden was no longer someone he could mess with. Not only were the Diamond Rank materials involved, but even Mayor Randy and Lucien were on Aiden’s side.

There was no other choice. He had to do it.

Without hesitation, Ronald slapped Kael’s head hard and shouted: “What are you waiting for? Go apologize to Mr. Aiden!”

“Apologize! Can’t you hear me?!”

Kael was completely shocked.

He was a genius from The White City Reclasser, the son of a powerful Dragonlight Guild. How could he end up kneeling before an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice like Aiden, and being forced by his father to say sorry?

It all felt like a dream.

Kael’s eyes were confused, but the pain in his body told him this wasn’t a dream at all. It was real.

Now, he was kneeling in front of Aiden.

“I… I… I shouldn’t have done that,” Kael said, biting his lip and speaking slowly.

Aiden smiled and leaned down, asking: “Shouldn’t have done what?”

“Shouldn’t have been your enemy. Shouldn’t have caused you trouble. Shouldn’t have…” Kael answered in a blank voice.

Aiden shook his head. He felt like he was acting like a villain right now, but it felt really good.

“You don’t really understand your mistake, do you? You’re just apologizing because you can’t fight back now, right?”

“Are you really okay with this? Being forced to kneel and apologize in front of so many people by an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice like me?”

“Don’t you hate me? Shouldn’t you want to kill me right now?”

Aiden smiled and looked at Kael.

Kael stayed silent. Only Ronald was frantically explaining beside him: “No, he wouldn’t do that. He really wouldn’t. I’ll take better care of him from now on!”

“This is all a misunderstanding. It’s just a mistake!”

The more he explained, the more Aiden’s smile grew.

Selena, from another major guild in The White City, Warrior God Guild, was completely different from Kael.

The first time she met Aiden, she even asked to team up with him to level up.

Of course, part of the reason was probably because she thought he looked good.

Kael’s current situation was at least half Ronald’s fault.

“Ah, you really aren’t cut out for it. You always thought I was useless, right?”

“Now, I’m giving you a chance. A life-or-death fight with this so-called ’useless’ guy. Are you brave enough to accept?”

Aiden’s eyes narrowed slightly as he whispered into Kael’s ear.

Kael suddenly lifted his head, his fists clenched tightly. His eyes were full of hatred, and there was no hiding it at all.
