President Jackson

[Chapter 123]

"David Lindell! I'm begging you, alright? For the sake of our past relationship, can you help me just this once?" Sarah suddenly lowered her voice and began pleading.

Now, if she could get David to help resolve the crisis that Leo's family was facing, she would be able to marry Leo and live a rich and lavish life. That had always been a dream of hers.

She had that dream even back when she was with David. However, she had been hesitant to pursue it because of how kindly David treated her.

Otherwise, she would have never banished David to the sidelines when Leo professed his feelings for her.

"Sarah Jensen, you have no right to beg me! Everyone else has the right to beg me, but you don't! I've done so much for you over the years, but I'm nothing compared to a few pieces of designer clothing and purses? I've been blind for so many years, and I won't be able to help you! Goodbye!"

David strode off when he finished speaking.

However, Leo grabbed hold of his feet.

"Mr. Liddell, it's my fault. It was all my fault! Please, help me this one time! You're the only person who can help me now! My family will be done for if you don't help me," Leo sobbed as he clung to David's feet.

David was his last hope now.

David was just about to kick Leo aside.

Then, another commotion rang out at the entrance.

Immediately, another person walked into the hall, with a large group of people following them in.

The person walking at the very front was Howard Jackson, the president of the SRU student council and the most handsome guy in SRU. He was also Luna Shoron's official boyfriend.

"Wow! President Jackson is here. I bet he's here to meet President Shoron. They're the faculty's golden couple!"

"Come on, come on! Let's go take a look!"

The crowd surrounding David and the others immediately dispersed and ran over to watch Howard and Luna.

David shoved a little harder and managed to push Leo out of the way.

Ignoring Leo and Sarah, David also walked over to the crowd to see how Luna would respond.

Everything that had just happened to David and Leo just now had not affected Luna in the slightest.

There were several hundred people in the hall, but only around ten of those people had been watching David and Leo. The majority of them had still been standing around the podium and watching Luna's live demonstration.

On stage.

Luna was giving a live demonstration with an old member of the martial arts club.

It was what everyone had been waiting for.

Because they could get up close to the campus belle However, Howard walked on stage and said to the member, "What did I say? No men are allowed to get

close to Luna! Did you think I was joking?" "S- sorry, President Jackson! I'll leave right now!"

The member said shakingly.

He had been the first to dash forth when Luna said she needed an opponent because he wanted to get up close to this beautiful lady.

After all, they would be engaging in actual combat!

There would be times when it was inevitable that their bodies would come into contact!

His thoughts were impure as well.

In the past, it was always female members who had taken the stage. However, for some reason, he wanted to try and take advantage of this opportunity today. To be honest, Luna was so beautiful that he was finding it difficult to keep himself under control.

Now that Howard was here, he could not help but feel a little guilty.

Besides, Howard was also the president of the student council, and rumor was that he came from a very powerful family. It would not be wise for him to offend him.

"Freeze! Who allowed you to leave?"

Howard called out to the member who was about to leave.

"P- President Jackson! .."

"Slap!"

The member did not manage to finish speaking before Howard interrupted him with a slap across the face.

"Slap!"

Another slap came soon after.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Howard slapped him across the face five times! He had initially wanted to continue slapping him, but Luna stopped him.

"Howard Jackson, stop it!" Luna shouted.

"Miss Luna! Mr. Zachary Quinn told me to protect you and stop any men from coming near you, but he dared disobey my orders! He deserves to get beaten up!" Jackson said.

Then, he directed a forceful kick onto the member's body.

That member felt an intense pain in his stomach before he felt his body turn weightless as he flew off the stage.

The stage was more than a foot above the ground. If one were to fall off it, they would at the very least be gravely injured!

Everyone standing nearby immediately ran away when they saw someone flying towards them, terrified that they would end up hurting an innocent person. Only David remained standing where he was.

Upon seeing that the member was about to crash onto him, David reached his arms out, grabbed him, and then set him down on the floor firmly.

"Huh?"

Howard turned to look into the audience when he did not hear any cries of pain and then saw that they had been rescued.

Just as he was about to ask who had been so daring, he caught sight of David's face. His pupils shrank as his heart pounded in panic.

Wasn't that David Lidell?

He would never forget for the rest of his life what he had experienced on that night at Fuller Golden Sands.

One of the eight great fighters in T Faction, Mr. Zachary Quinn, whom he thought to be one of the most powerful people in the world, had fled back to Capital City with his tails between his legs after suffering a humiliating defeat. Several days had gone by now, but he was still too afraid to even make a peep.

That very person was David, an alumnus of South River University, and the person who had just saved someone's life while standing offstage.

Even Mr. Quinn had not dared come to seek revenge after suffering such a great loss. Did that not mean a minor character like him was about to get squashed like an ant?

What should he do now?

Apologize to him?

But there were so many people here.

If he were to apologize now, he would be destroying the image that he had cultivated for himself at South River University, right? How was he supposed to show his face around here anymore?

Yet, what should he do if he did not apologize and make the other person unleash their anger onto him?

He was someone that not even Mr. Quinn could afford to offend, much less himself!

Whatever! Whatever!

So what if honor was important?

Was was more important than his life?

Besides, this was their territory as well.

A bigshot like him would probably not hold a grudge against someone like him as long as he apologized, right?

After thinking it through.

Howard took several steps forward before he jumped off the stage and walked towards David.

David waved a hand and beckoned the member that Howard had just kicked off the stage to blend into the crowd standing on the sidelines.

Now, David stood and gazed right into Howard's eyes.

Everyone was prepared to watch a good show unfold before them.

Just as they had finished getting ready to watch Howard deal with David.

"Howard Jackson, stop it. If not, don't blame me for forgetting my manners with you! Don't think that I'll b e afraid to beat you up just because you're one of Zachary's people!"

When Luna finished speaking, she took a few steps forward so she could get off the stage and stop Howard.

It was then that Howard said something that caused everyone present to widen their eyes so much that

their eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets.

They watched as Howard clasped his hands together and bow to David before saying:

"My apologies, Mr. Liddell! I should not have done what I did just now! I did not notice that you were present just now! I hope you will be generous and not hold a grudge against a lowly individual like me! I, Howard Jackson, sincerely apologize! I'm sorry!"
