Chapter 1989 Please Have Mercy On Me

"Ouch, it hurts!” Zaron burst into tears.

Dave felt sorry for his bawling son but dared not go over to help him up.

Upon seeing Zaron being thrown to the ground, the other children shuddered and gazed at the twins with fear.

When Archie and Benny returned to Lucian and Roxanne's side, they looked down at their own hands with uncertainty, shakingtheir heads as if they weren't sure if they had done the right thing.

While observing the expressions on their faces, Lucian knelt down and stroked their heads with his large hand.

With a calm look on his face, he said, “Archie, Benny, there are all kinds of people in this world, and you should reserve yourkindness only for those who deserve it instead of using it on the wrong people. You don’t have to be nice to those who act rudelyor unreasonably, and don't even bother to try to reason with them!”

Those words struck a chord in Roxanne's heart.

The two boys, who had been raised under her care, were gentle and calm in nature. However, they seemed to lack a certainsense of masculine energy.

If they were to continue to develop their personalities in that manner, she believed they would have a hard time surviving in thecomplex society they were destined to face as adults.

That was why she fully supported her husband's teaching methods. After all, he did not teach them to resort to violence but torespect their inner voices and learn to fend for themselves. He also taught them to not tolerate evildoers out of kindness andcompassion.

Dave and the other parents stayed away from their children, watching them shriek and cry from a distance.These children finally got a taste of their own medicine.

In the end, Lucian looked at them and said icily, “You can leave now, but | don't want to see your children in this school everagain.”

He made it clear that the children would have no choice but to withdraw from the academy.

The outcome would remain the same whether they chose to leave the school voluntarily or Lucian escalated the issue to theschool's management.

Those parents nodded right away. “Yes, yes. We know what to do. My son's grades are not up to par anyway. There's no pointwasting money to keep him in this art academy. Thanks for being so forgiving, Mr. Farwell!”

“My son has always had a mischievous streak, but I'll make sure to educate him to become a better person after this. Thank you,Mr. Farwell!” another parent echoed.

“Mr. Farwell, we'll be leaving with our kids now. What happened today is entirely our fault,” another person added.Relieved, the parents then scampered away with their three children in tow.Dave knew he could not leave because Lucian still had some unfinished business with him.

Lucian arched his brow, and a sarcastic smile curved his lips. He glanced at Dave and said, “Mr. Rynder, looks like you're a manwith considerable power and influence. | wouldn't be surprised if some ofyour assets were obtained through less than legalmeans. Shall | bring this to the attention of the Central Discipline Inspection Committee?”

Dave's face turned pale in an instant.

He knew Lucian would not let him off so easily, but he did not expect the man would be so ruthless.

Yet, he did not have the courage to fight back. After coming to his senses, he began to tear up and begged for Lucian'sforgiveness. “Mr. Farwell, it's all my fault. I'm arrogant, and I'm not a good parent. | failed to teach my son properly, but I'll do mybest to become a better person. You can punish me however you want, but please don't make me lose my job!”

Lucian knitted his browsand shot daggers at him. He wouldn't have acknowledged his mistakes had he not bumped into me. Andthere's a high chance he would allow his son to grow up to become an overbearing bully.

Lucian did not bother to pay attention to him and wasn't intending to show any mercy even if the man were to kneel before him.Instead, he squatted down, carried Archie and Benny in his arms, and nodded at Roxanne.

Roxanne then carried Estella before the family of five walked toward the school gate together.Behind them, Dave continued imploring loudly, “Mr. Farwell, please have mercy on me! Mr. Farwell...”

Not long after, they heard Dave venting his frustration by beating Zaron, causing the latter to scream in pain.
