A short, fat, bald man rushed to the boxing ring profusely and apologized to Grady Han. Then, he turned to Peter.
"What are you doing? Stop punching them! If they are injured, I will make sure you are punished! Don't be stupid!" he said to Peter.
Then, he looked at Grady Han. "Grady Han, are you okay? Don't worry. I will handle this. Please don't get mad. We will make sure he is punished," he said.
Grady Han and Wesley were both in awe of Peter. But when the odds turned to their favor, their expressions changed.
Surely, there was nothing Peter could do now if an embassy official was here. This was their chance to display their superiority.
"He injured us, citizens from D Country. He must apologize! On his knees!" Grady Han said, pointing at Peter.
Despite his fighting prowess, Peter was an ordinary civilian. Everyone knew that challenging an embassy official was a stupid thing to do. Surely, he had a good head resting on his shoulders.
Hearing his words, the official looked at Peter and spat, "Did you hear that? Do what he said! Now!"
"Holy shit!"
"What the hell are you talking about? Are you a traitor? Take back what you said!"
"Never have I seen such trash!"
"This couldn't be any more humiliating!"
The crowd shouted angrily even before Peter could respond.
They could not believe what was happening. Why was an embassy official from H Country taking the side of the people from D Country? How ironic!
Peter was stunned. Then, he asked the man, "Are you talking to me?"
"I think you know the answer. There is no one else in this boxing ring. Stop talking rubbish and just apologize on your knees! Do as you are told!" the official said loudly.
Peter laughed. 'This man is a persistent little bastard, ' he thought.
Without a warning, he slapped the man across his face.
"Son of a bitch! W
eter, I don't know what to do. I have nowhere to go. A lot of things have happened since the last time I saw you. Roy and his friends appear at my school gate everyday. Sometimes they even appear in my classroom and get me in trouble.
I've been looking over my shoulders ever since. Roy and his friends want to get me and I hide in my school every day.
I'm so frightened. I don't feel safe at school anymore. A few days ago, my mother visited me and they hurt her. She was gravely wounded. Now, she's in hospital but I can't even look after her. I'm so sad... and very, very afraid," said the girl miserably.
Unable to maintain a strong and calm front, she started to cry desperately.
Roy?
That name rang a bell in Peter's head. Suddenly, memories started to flood in.
Angelou was the girl who was bullied by Roy at the school gate. Roy's uncle was the president of the university.
Back then, Peter stood up against Roy to protect Angelou. He threw Roy a punch. Before he left, he encouraged other students to smash Roy's limo.
Angelou looked very different from what he remembered. She was no longer the sexy girl with heavy makeup. Right now, she looked more like a very helpless child in desperate need of help.
