"Well, then, we'll take our leave, Mr. Dong Gang, please carry on with your business."
Hayato brought his fingers to his forehead, making a 'not interested' gesture: "Bye-bye now."
With that, he was about to drag Nanao Akane away by the wrist.
"I don't think this is any of your business, is it?" Dong Gang said gruffly, stepping two or three paces forward, trying to block their path.
Dong Gang also knew that in this situation, he certainly couldn't do anything to Nanao Akane.
But to let them leave so easily, wouldn't he become like a lamb to be kneaded at will? How could that be?
"Huh?" Hayato.
"That guy..." Dong Gang pointed a thick finger at Nanao Akane, who was hiding behind Hayato, "is the manager of our Baseball Club. Isn't it perfectly normal for her to come out with me to purchase things? What are you, to dare meddle in our Baseball Club's affairs?"
"..." Hayato scratched his head.
This brat makes a lot of sense.
He was often speechless.
Dong Gang's smile was somewhat sinister,
"And Nanao... if the shopping doesn't go smoothly today, the 'members' of the Baseball Club probably won't be able to train properly, and then the upcoming tournament might not go well."
"...This... Hmm, ah..." Nanao Akane instinctively nodded.
Dong Gang said 'members,' but the first and foremost among them was definitely Pian Lai Xiangye.
Dong Gang used this as a threat.
And it was true that Nanao Akane was the manager and Dong Gang was the coach, so it was reasonable for them to go out together to purchase things for the Baseball Club.
"If you know that, why aren't you coming over here quickly?" Dong Gang waved at Akane.
Nanao Akane lowered her eyes.
Dong Gang watched the girl's expression with satisfaction.
Indeed, Hayato had his recording, but he had warned him that 'if he did anything else to Nanao Akane, he would release the recording,' meaning that as long as Dong Gang finished what he was doing, he wouldn't say anything, and then he would threaten Nanao Akane to keep quiet.
He could even have the latter falsify a testimony that 'Mr. Dong Gang never came looking for me again,' and then, with that guy kept in the dark, he naturally wouldn't care about the recording anymore.
As for threatening people...
Heh heh.
Dong Gang licked his rough lips with his large tongue. Had he done such things any less often?
"Ah, Akane." Hayato suddenly seemed to remember something, "Aren't you having a stomachache?"
"...Huh, huh?"
Nanao Akane looked up, somewhat puzzled, at him.
"I said, you have a stomachache." Hayato repeated each word clearly.
"I didn't..." Nanao Akane originally wanted to deny it.
A fierce glint suddenly flashed in Hayato's eyes, freezing the expression on Nanao Akane's ice-cold beauty face. About two or three seconds later, she instinctively nodded,
"Yes... I, I have a stomachache."
"That's it then." Hayato waved his hand at Dong Gang again: "If she has a stomachache, then she can't go shopping, right? Goodbye, Mr. Dong Gang, I'm taking her home~"
"You bastard!" Coach Dong Gang gritted his teeth, "What nonsense are you talking about again!"
"No way, no way." Hayato blinked his innocent eyes: "Mr. Dong Gang, are you going to make a girl with a stomachache work? If word gets out, this is corporal punishment..."
So what if it's corporal punishment!
Dong Gang had done worse things before! But of course, such things couldn't be said openly... Dong Gang didn't want to lose his job again.
He slightly reined in his anger and instead smiled:
"Since she's the manager of my Baseball Club, if she's not feeling well, I, as her teacher, should be the one to send her back..."
"But, Mr. Hayashi, don't you have very important errands to run?" Hayato asked with a warm smile, "You also said that if you don't complete today's errands, the Baseball Club members won't be able to train properly… You should mind your own business…"
"......"
Dong Gang watched Hayato pull Nanao Akane past him. When their shoulders were parallel, he really wanted to turn around and punch that brat in the face, to teach him not to meddle in adult affairs.
But he could only suppress his anger.
Although there weren't many pedestrians here, there were still some. If he made a move, he would definitely be surrounded. It would be a minor issue if he got expelled from school; he might even be invited to eat state-provided meals for a few days.
However, when their two bodies were parallel, Dong Gang didn't move. Instead, Hayato turned around and extended his right hand:
"You've worked hard, Dong Gang Sensei. See you at school later."
Dong Gang was slightly stunned. He looked at Hayato's palm, then smiled sinisterly: "…In that case, we'll see each other at school."
He also extended his hand and shook Hayato's.
What a slender palm, Dong Gang thought brutally. If he used a little force, his bones would probably deform, right?
While he couldn't go that far, he could still make this kid suffer a bit… The handshake etiquette between adults isn't that simple!
"...Anshizhengzhi Jun?" Nanao Akane was startled. She already knew Dong Gang was going to play a dirty trick!
Mr. Hayashi's nickname 'Gorilla' wasn't just because of his appearance; his grip strength was also unmatched!!
But, the next moment, Nanao Akane saw that,
Hayato didn't move a muscle.
But Dong Gang's face turned purplish-blue.
At the same time, the veins on his sturdy arm bulged like gnarled earthworms.
Fantasy Killer.
Your right arm is slightly thicker than others by a tiny bit.
Hayato maintained a faint smile. He leaned his head towards Dong Gang's ear:
"If you follow me, I'll kill you."
!!"
Dong Gang's body trembled.
With his personality, he wouldn't normally take such a threat from a high school student to heart. But… it sounded like he was telling the truth.
Dong Gang even vaguely saw the moment he was killed. What, what was going on!?
Nonsense lv.5 skill activated.
Making a bad man's words credible.
Hayato let go, and Dong Gang's palm was already red.
"Let's go."
Hayato pulled Nanao Akane and walked in the opposite direction.
Hayato's steps were fast; he wanted to leave this place quickly.
And Nanao Akane was stunned again and again. Before she could recover from her shock, her steps suddenly quickened, causing her to almost trip over her own feet.
Although she didn't fall from the stumble, her nose accidentally bumped into Hayato's back.
"…Sorry," Nanao Akane said softly.
Hayato seemed not to hear, still quickening his pace.
Nanao Akane could just see the boy's side profile, glowing white under the sunlight.
His eyelashes were so long, and his nose was so straight…
Were there such good-looking boys in school?
Nanao Akane thought, then quickly shook her head, No no no no no no no no no!!
How could I think such things! He, he's not Xiangye Jun… He, he, he, he's just…
Recalling the fierce Strong Person's Gaze Hayato had shown when confronting Dong Gang, Nanao Akane's legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Her heart began to pound excitedly.
At the same time, she saw her wrist still being held by Hayato, and a blush immediately spread across her fair face.
"Wait… Zhengzhi Jun…" she said.
But Hayato still seemed not to hear.
…
…
