Chapter 258

The head of security was furious upon hearing about what had happened. He felt it was unforgivable that those hooligans had acted so out of line on Alnewgo University's premises and that the students had done well in beating them up.

He thought the students had been doing society a favor by teaching those hooligans a lesson and that the same should be done in the future.

However, the auxiliary security members who came with him didn't agree. Daniel was one of them, and he thought the students had to be punished for their rash and violent actions. Otherwise, the ivory tower would become a haven for troublemakers and a breeding ground for malice.

Joshua and the others countered that, saying they'd only fought back after being attacked. Moreover, the hooligans had been armed. They couldn't have stood by and waited for the hooligans to kill them, could they?

Daniel frowned and indicated he would get to the bottom of the matter. However, he emphasized that they lived in a civilized society and that everyone needed to adhere to its laws. No one should use violence to solve any issues. Then, he insisted on taking Jack away.

Only then did Jack remember who Daniel was. The latter was the one who'd pulled tricks to make things harder for him in the past when he'd also gotten caught for wrongdoings.

Another security member named Ben Langley was nastier than Daniel. He berated the students for disregarding rules and being even worse than the hooligans. He wanted to capture Jack and the others and take them in for questioning.

The students vehemently opposed him. Fortunately, the head of security said, "Those hooligans barged in here and tried to commit murder-they're just facing the consequences of their actions now. In fact, we have to hold them legally accountable once they've recovered from their injuries."

He knew it wouldn't be overboard to sentence those thugs to jail, seeing as they'd trespassed on the university's premises to attack students while armed. Content originally comes from find•novel.net

The dean would be furious if things got out of hand, and the thugs wouldn't be the only ones punished. Everyone on the security team and the nearby police stations would be in trouble, too.

The head of security had his own judgment and standards for deciding who to release and who to capture.

Daniel knew this wasn't the right time to aggravate everyone, so he left without argument. Once he, Ben, and their colleagues were gone, the members of the security team reprimanded Jack and the others for their actions.

They then took their statements and warned them not to act so impulsively in the future. Jack and the others were advised to exercise restraint and think about their futures before acting. After that, they were dismissed.

When Jack and the others left the security department, they saw many of their classmates waiting outside for them. The young women from the shared dorm were there, as were Feena and Phoebe.

Miranda couldn't help teasing Jack when she saw him. "Look, our hero's here. Let's all welcome him!"

The others laughed and applauded Jack. He and the others had truly been brave earlier, especially Jack. He'd awakened the hot-bloodedness of the other young men by leading the charge against the thugs.

Feena blinked and smiled. "The university administration didn't punish you guys, did they?"

Jack shook his head. The head of security had reprimanded them sternly, but it was clear that he admired their bravery in going against the thugs.

Phoebe, who everyone thought was cold and stoic, was more concerned about their safety. "Are you guys hurt? Do you guys want to head to the hospital for a thorough check?"

Someone teased, "How about you accompany our hero to the hospital?"

A faint blush spread across her face at those words, but she soon composed herself.

Jack indicated that he was fine, so Phoebe turned to comfort the other students from the finance faculty. She showed that she was equally worried about the students as a student council member-Jack wasn't the only one she cared about.

The other young men had never been on the receiving end of her gentle words, so they were extremely grateful to her.
