He had always been a bastard.
When he saw it was just an old man, he became bold.The old man seemed to have finally finished
reading the exam paper.He glanced at the name on it, ignored Mr.Kennedy, and looked at
Ms.Emerson.
"Is Nicole a student of yours?"
Ms.Emerson nodded.
Looking at the old man, she felt she seemed to know him but could not recall who he was.But she still
replied with respect, "Yes, mister.
Nicole is my student.She is outstanding.
"The old man nodded and looked around with a smile before his eyes stopped on Ms.Thompson and
Mr.Kennedy for two seconds."
Hey, my friend, I'm asking you to bring me to meet Nicole.
“Why don't you come in?"
Mr.Kennedy looked at the old man and sneered.
"I knew you were with Nicole.What a pretentious old man! I wonder who you can ask for help now.You'd
better leave, or I will kick you out of here myself."
As he spoke, he walked down the stage.
'This old man taunted me as soon as he walked in.He is on Nicole's side and pretending to be
somebody.But I won't be intimidated! But as soon as his voice trailed off, he stopped in his tracks, his
eyes widening in surprise when he saw the person who walked in.As Mr.Kennedy stopped,
Ms.Thompson became impatient and looked back.
"Why stop? Deal with Nicole immediately; kick her out of here— M-Mr.Ellison?"
The man who walked in slowly and stood next to the old man was none other than Mr.Ellison.The
always gentle Mr.Ellison had seen what was happening, and his face turned grave.
Had he not been here, Mr.Kennedy and Ms.Thompson would have successfully framed and kicked
Nicole out of the Royal Creek Institute.
Their attitude toward Declan clearly showed they were bullies.
They treated Declan as a beggar simply because he was old and wanted to kick him out of the
classroom when Declan questioned the quality of the teaching staff here.
But little did they know Declan was the leading figure of the mathematics faculty at the Northon
Institute.
Many mathematical geniuses used to be his students.
Besides, he was invited to write questions for the Math Olympiad competition this year and author of
this year's freshman exam.
Declan said he wanted to know about the quality of the Royal Creek Institute's students and teachers
and study if it could lead to some elite academic and talent exchanges.
But such a veteran figure was treated as an old beggar by these two people.
Ms.Thompson and Mr.Kennedy exchanged a look, and then she glanced at the grave-faced Mr.Ellison.
"I didn't know that you had come, Mr.Ellison."
"Does Mr.Did Ellison really know this old man?"
Mr.Ellison looked at Ms.Thompson.
"Do you know who he is? He is Professor Declan Hancock of the Northon Institute.What the hell are
you two thinking, treating him as a beggar?"
‘What? This old man is Professor Declan Hancock?"
Everyone looked at the skinny old man with their mouth agape.The eyes of many of them were filled
with deep admiration.
After all, Professor Hancock was a top mathematician in Hustuaburg, and as mathematics students,
their life goal was to gain Professor Hancock's approval and aspire to be like him.
