Chapter 55: Please step on me!

Faced with this sudden reversal, neither Miss Keti nor Ximon could react for a moment.

The blonde young master stared at his father in utter confusion, his expression seemingly asking……

“What’s going on?… Not raising it anymore?!”

“Apologize, quickly, apologize!”

On the other side, Edward was equally frantic.

Having just been accurately informed by the butler that the Chamber of Commerce was already being searched by the Patrol Guards, he now wished he could kneel and kowtow to Miss Keti to apologize!

But considering so many students were present, it was just too humiliating, so he urged his son to hurry up!

After a while, seeing that Ximon still hadn’t snapped out of it, Edward angrily pulled out his belt.

Ximon’s small frame immediately trembled, while Miss Keti, quietly watching the scene unfold, widened her curious eyes…

Well, well, well, is this about to be…

Father punishing son with seven lashes!

“I really have spoiled you too much. How dare you cause so much trouble at school! And you still have the nerve to tattle on me!”

“I’m telling you, Miss Keti’s punishment is completely justified, and I fully support the teacher! You little brat, from now on you will respect and obey your teachers! The attitude the maids have towards you at home—that’s exactly how you will treat your teachers, understood?!”

With that, Edward swung the belt and struck Ximon down to his knees.

Then, countless lashes fell like snowflakes, hitting the young master harshly.

Ximon screamed in pain on the ground.

“Whip! Whip! Whip—!”

The sharp sound of the belt tearing through the air caused the classroom to fall into silence.

Countless students stared in shock at the scene; some even started to feel phantom pains in their own behinds…

None of them expected the story to develop like this.

Ximon, who had always acted tyrannically relying on his father’s power, was now being beaten by that very father—right in front of the whole class—for crossing Miss Keti.

How was this possible?

The students certainly didn’t believe Edward’s talk about respecting teachers.

After all, they weren’t kids anymore; if Ximon got punished just for his school behavior, he would have been hit long ago…

The only possible explanation was…,

Miss Keti must have some extremely powerful backing!

So powerful that even the President of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce feared her?

Hiss.

Thinking of this, many students who had previously egged Ximon on looked visibly uneasy.

After all, none of them wanted to end up like him.

Soon, the chaotic classroom began to settle with more students sitting upright and serious.

As for Miss Keti on the podium….

Ah, to be honest, watching Ximon get beaten was quite satisfying.

So the silver-haired young lady deliberately played dumb and watched for a few more minutes, giggling quietly…

This brat was so arrogant before, now he’s finally getting his comeuppance.

The twist in events was somewhat unexpected even for Miss Keti.

She hadn’t expected Lord Lynn would manage to distract the parents so well, let alone to cause Edward’s attitude to make a complete 180-degree turn!

How…did this happen?!

Could it have been the bell that worked its magic?

Grr…

I knew it, that rival never told me the proper way to use it!

However, after a moment, feeling satisfied, Miss Keti decided to put an end to the scene.

After all…no matter what, Ximon was still her student, and she had the obligation to guide him onto the right path.

“Alright, alright, Mr. Edward, please calm down. I think Ximon now realizes his mistake, right?!”

“Ah…ugh…I was wrong, yes, sorry, Miss Keti, please don’t hit me anymore, ugh—!”

The blonde young master lay on the ground, crying loudly, a red welt marking his behind.

Seeing this, Edward finally gasped for breath and stopped.

“Phew, Miss Keti, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. I haven’t had much time to educate this child, so I’m really grateful for your extra effort.”

“From now on, do whatever you want to discipline Ximon, I won’t object! If he dares to resist, just come to me directly! I promise to beat him until he behaves!”

“Ah ha ha…I’m actually not a big fan of corporal punishment on students, uh… sounds like I’m violent or something.”

“No, no! Absolutely not! I just want to express my apology to you, teacher! Haha… sorry for the earlier offense, I hope you can forgive me and not be angry!”

“Alright, alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now. The Chamber of Commerce has urgent matters waiting for me to handle. Goodbye—!”

Mid-sentence, Edward took off like there was some urgent business, leaving Miss Keti blinking in confusion.

After a moment, she slowly turned back and looked down at Ximon on the ground.

Hmm hmm hmm~

The silver-haired beauty’s lips curled into a sly smile.

She sat back down and quietly took out a Green Medicine Bottle from her pocket, gently shaking it in front of Ximon.

Then she smiled and said, “Ximon, this is the Healing Potion you took last time. So, do you want some more~? If you want it, hmm hmm, what did your dad just say? Oh, right~”

“He said you have to serve me just like the maids at home do~ pfft… Hey, Ximon, how do your maids usually beg you? Teach your teacher, will you~”

Suddenly, Ximon blushed deeply.

***

After a long moment, he bit his lip, shamed beyond belief, and whispered,

“Please, teacher, step on my face with your foot…”

Huh?!

The classroom instantly fell silent.

All the students stared in disbelief, many girls’ eyes filled with disgust for this pervert……

“This is ridiculous, saying something like that in public.”

“So perverted, seriously…”

“A foot fetishist? Ew……”

“Going this far just to get some potion, you’re really something, Haki…”

Over….over now!

Hearing the murmurs, Ximon took a deep breath.

Crack…just now…

He had accidentally spoken his true thoughts aloud!

Completely socially dead—ahhh—!

“Ah…… How horrible, is this how you treat your servants at home?…. Looks like I really have to teach you a lesson, you little brat!”

While Ximon trembled in panic, Miss Keti, without much thought, stepped her foot on his face to teach this servant-abusing brat a lesson, then tossed him the potion.

“Hmm hmm, it looks like our class still needs a class president. So…I hereby appoint Ximon as the Class President. Young master, from now on you have to help me keep the class disciplined~ or else…. hmm hmm hmm~”

“Ha~ ha…yes—!”
