Chapter 24 I Am King Here! “Stupid security guards?” Colin stared hard at him, “Deputy principalCooper, do you know how much our company paid to rehire these security guards? Do you know howmuch their salaries cost us?” Owen shook his head in embarrassment. Colin said coldly, “Who were yousaying was trying to start trouble!” “Secretary Ramos!” Owen gradually straightened up. “Little Professorshas been the best private kindergarten in the district for years. What if our reputation suffers because ofreckless actions from the security guards? How would I explain this to the Principal and to thecompany?” Colin lowered his voice, “Then how do you think we should handle this?” Hmph! You won’t beable to stand before the reputation of the kindergarten! Just watch! Owen whilst secretly proud ofhimself, managed to keep his composure.

“Secretary Ramos, all this started because of him!” Colin’s eyes flashed behind his glasses when he sawthat Owen was pointing at Jacob. Owen had no idea who he was pointing at. He said solemnly, “Thisman beat up innocent passersby at the entrance of the kindergarten. He deliberately started a fight withparents. He even colluded with the security guards…” “Enough!” “Shut your mouth!” Two people yelledout simultaneously. Owen was shocked to see the captain of the security team and Secretary Ramosglaring at him. Colin exhaled and waved at Owen, “Deputy Principal Cooper, you are not needed here.Please go inside!” Jackie jumped to his feet in anger. “Mr. Cooper! You are practically king here! Youdon’t need to listen to this meager secretary!” The students will be out in less than ten minutes. Jacobfrowned as he looked at the time. Sensing his boss’ displeasure and impatience, Colin gestured to thecaptain and said in a deep voice, “Take the deputy principal inside. He is not needed here!” The captainhad longed for this moment. Owen had been grating on his nerves for a while now, especially when hedared to point his finger at their leader.

He indicated to his guards, “Two of you, bring Deputy Principal Cooper inside.” Two guards immediatelystepped forward. “You dare touch me!” Owen raged. “I am king here! You are nothing but simple securityguards!” The two guards did not consider his position. They each took an arm and pushed him into theschool. A parent sighed, “What a strange scene this is!” “Tell me about it!” Another replied. “That is the

Deputy Principal. He’s always acting like some hotshot ever since we met!” “I heard that the kindergartenwas bought over by a large company. That man, who did not think twice about embarrassing Mr. Cooper,must be someone sent by the company.” A well-informed parent explained. No wonder! Everyonenodded in unison. Jackie watched as Owen was dragged into the building. He realized that somethingwas wrong. He glanced around and slowly started to retreat. Before he had even taken two steps, he feltlike he had backed into a wall.

“Where do you think you’re going? Let me lead the way.” The captain smiled widely at him. But his eyeswere full of dreaded promises. Jackie turned and saw his expression. He shuddered. When did heappear behind him?!
