Chapter 95
Leonard turned his head as he heard someone call his name. After he saw the balding teacher, his face froze for a moment. Then he exclaimed in delight, “Mr. Yerburge, are you still teaching at this university?”
Kendrick had been Leonard’s academic advisor during his university years. He had just started teaching then, and he was not much older. His relationship with Leonard and the other students was very friendly, almost like friends.
Even then, Kendrick had been slightly balding. Little did Leonard expect that, after three years apart, Kendrick had become completely bald.
Kendrick also looked pleasantly surprised.
“Yes, I’ve always stayed at the university. I heard you got into some trouble.”
Kendrick did not dare to mention Leonard’s time in prison directly.
By this time, Dennis had gotten up from the ground. He pointed at Leonard and yelled, “Kiddo, you’re courting death. How dare you push me!”
“Who pushed you? You’re as clumsy as a pig and fell on your own.”
Leonard smirked, hands in his pockets.
Kendrick’s expression changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Leonard’s hand. He said in a low voice, “Leonard, what did you do to upset him? He’s the boss of Fanco Group, and he’s got many people under him. Let’s get out of here before it’s too late.”
Kendrick was worried about Leonard.
Kendrick had always been easygoing, which was why he was able to get along with Leonard and his cla**mates. But he also had a downside. He was rather timid.
Leonard just laughed. “Don’t worry. I’m not scared of this fat slob.”
Kendrick grew even more anxious at Leonard’s words.
“Leonard, don’t be foolish. You just got out of prison. Do you want to go back in?
“And these people are really vicious. If you provoke him, he could really kill you.”
Kendrick’s voice trembled.
The onlookers were whispering among themselves.
“That seems to be one of our teachers. From what he’s saying, this guy must be our senior.”
“He’s in trouble now because he has provoked Dennis.”
Dennis looked very fierce, and the fact that Leonard was their senior made the students worry for him.
“Kiddo, I’m going to kill you.”
Dennis raised his fist again to hit Leonard.
But this time, Leonard did not dodge. Instead, he lifted his leg and kicked Dennis in his belly.
Immediately, Dennis lost his balance and stumbled backward.
He fell flat on his backside.
“Hey, fat pig, you’re so clumsy and still want to hit me, huh! Look at yourself.”
With that, Leonard stepped forward and stomped on Dennis’s face. He even spat on him.
At that moment, many of the onlookers felt a shiver down their spines.
Nobody expected Leonard to dare step on Dennis’s face and spit at him.
Kendrick’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew Leonard was in for trouble.
Back in their school days, Leonard was always impulsive. To Kendrick’s surprise, three years in jail didn’t change him.
Dennis was the boss of the Fanco Group, not someone to be trifled with.
Emily came over to help Dennis up, hoping to take him away.

Chapter 95
But Dennis had been deeply insulted. He wouldn’t let it go easily.
Having been humiliated in front of so many people, he was sure to retaliate.
Pushing away Emily, who was trying to help him, he pointed at Leonard and cursed, “No one in Newden City has ever dared to hit me. I must make you pay today.”
He reached into his bag, pulled out his phone, and started making calls.
As he dialed, he threatened, “You’re about to find out what happens when you mess with me.”
“In a moment, even if you beg, I won’t let you off.”
“Is that so?”
Leonard retorted, walking over and kicking Dennis in the stomach.
“Bang!”
Dennis fell to the ground again, his phone flying out of his hand.
This scene sent chills through the many onlookers.

Dennis picked up his phone from the ground and sneered, “The more arrogant you are now, the more miserable you’ll be later.”
Kendrick was terrified. He quickly said, “Leonard, let’s go. Once Dennis’s men show up, we won’t be able to escape.”
Leonard, however, casually put his hands in his pockets and laughed. “Let him call whoever he wants.”
Sweat dripped down Kendrick’s face as he cried out, “Leonard, we’re just ordinary people. We can’t afford to mess with a bully like him.”
The surrounding students nodded in agreement.
They looked at Leonard with pity, thinking he was being reckless.
If Dennis was already calling for backup, why wasn’t Leonard running? Was he crazy?
“Dennis is crazy. Once Dennis‘ men arrive, they’ll likely kill Leonard.”
“We should get out of here. Later, we might not be able to leave.”
“I heard Dennis’s company is nearby.”
Everyone was anxious for Leonard.
However, Leonard himself seemed unbothered.
Emily ran over and said, “Dennis, forget it. Leonard isn’t easy to deal with.”
But Dennis shoved her aside.
“Get lost.” He snapped. “You’re afraid I’ll kill your ex–boyfriend, right?”
“When you’re with me, you should be focused on me alone. Don’t ever think about other men!”
At that moment, the phone call went through.
Dennis yelled into the phone, “Get the men together now. Bring your tools, and we’re seeing blood today.”
He hung up the phone straight after speaking. Smirking, he moved toward Leonard.
“Kiddo, my men are on their way. You better start shopping for your coffin.”
