Chapter 549


    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 nced 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 youe 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 sessfully framed and kicked


    Nicole out of the Royal Creek Institute.


    Their attitude toward Den clearly showed they were bullies.


    They treated Den as a beggar simply because he was old and wanted to kick him out of the


    ssroom when Den questioned the quality of the teaching staff here.


    But little did they know Den 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 Olympiadpetition this year and author of


    this year''s freshman exam.


    Den 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 nced at the grave-faced Mr.Ellison.


    "I didn''t know that you hade, 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 Den Hancock of the Northon Institute.What the hell are


    you two thinking, treating him as a beggar?"


    ‘What? This old man is Professor Den 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.
