The best professor at the Faculty of Computer Science? Kingsley's eyes involuntarily flickered for an instant when he heard this. After all, his purpose in coming to Solaris University was to look for The Anonymous, the top hacker organization of Qustia!
The Anonymous' superb hacking skills were even a dozen years ahead of those of Coliree Island's technical department. Such skills could never be possessed by an ordinary undergraduate, so Kingsley surmised that the leader of The Anonymous might be a prestigious professor at the Faculty of Computer Science.
Therefore, when he heard Calvin mention at this moment that Elaine's father was such a professor, he immediately perked up. Perhaps Elaine's father was the leader of The Anonymous whom he was looking for! At the thought of this, he darted a look at Elaine—whose eyes reddened —before saying coldly to Calvin, "You're the student council's president, huh? Well, you can throw tantrums if you want, but you should come at me instead of bullying a woman!"
It wasn't his intention to get involved in these people's affairs. However, now that he wanted to get in touch with Professor Albright through Elaine, he couldn't sit by and watch her being insulted by Calvin. It wasn't that he was a snob. Even an average citizen had to pay visits and give presents before asking someone for favors. So, there was no way he could stand by and watch Elaine being humiliated before shamelessly asking her to help take him to meet Professor Albright. He couldn't bring himself to do something so brazen!
Calvin didn't know what was on Kingsley's mind, though. Instead, he was positive that the latter was going against him on purpose and might even steal his woman. Clenching his fists tightly, he growled at the latter, "Come at you? Are you gonna fight me or something?!"
Upon hearing this, Elaine hurriedly said in anxiety, "You'd better stop going against him, young man. He used to be the Taekwondo Club's president. You're no match for him!"
"Taekwondo, huh?" Kingsley's lips curled into a sneer. He looked down his nose at such a form of martial arts, which was more flash than substance. However, as the God of War, he wouldn't go so far as to get into a fight with several students in public. He said to Elaine with a sigh, "Never mind. I'll do you a favor by not letting myself sink to his level." Then, he turned to look at Calvin, saying, "I'm in a good mood today, plus Miss Albright has just spoken for you, so I'm not gonna fight you today. I can even help pay the bill for your table, but-"
Before he could finish his sentence, Calvin burst into a guffaw. He said smugly, "Haha, stop making such a high-sounding excuse, you brat! Just admit that you've chickened out!"
There were boos and hisses coming from those around them.
"Jeez, didn't he put on such a brave face just now? In the end, he's still afraid of President Giuliani’s authority!"
"That's right! I thought he had some guts. Turns out that he’s just a piece of trash!"
"Hehe, I've long expected such an outcome. I've never heard of any student who has the nerve to go against President Giuliani!"
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Calvin held his head up proudly. "Haha... Did you hear that, you little piece of trash?! You're no match for me at Solaris University! Hurry and pay the bill!" "I haven't finished my sentence just now," Kingsley said impassively. Then, he continued, "I can pay the bill, but you have to take the bottle cap out of my soup and apologize to me first!" He could refrain from letting himself sink to the likes of a student, but he wouldn't let himself be trampled on like a good-for-nothing either. After all, he had his own principles and limits!
"Take out the bottle cap?" Calvin's eyes narrowed sinisterly. Clenching his teeth, he uttered, "Okay, let me take it out for you!" As he spoke, he picked up the bowl of chicken soup on Kingsley's table. At the last syllable of his sentence, he immediately splashed the chicken soup onto Kingsley with a turn of his wrist!
