Bryan's condescending words startled everyone, including Councilor Brown himself.
A frown surfaced on his face, as he looked at Bryan with a clear hint of disapproval.
Of course, he knew of Bryan's real attitude and manners. He knew what he had been doing all this time and knew that he was a troublemaker. However, Councilor Brown thought that if his son could not act this way, what was the reason why he was working hard to gain power and wealth?
It was already enough for the people to look at Councilor Brown as if he was a saint, there was no need for his family members to act like a good person to put up an appearance like him to appeal to the masses.
Councilor Brown has never cared about what they were doing. As long as they would act right when the time was right or when they were in front of him, then there was nothing to worry about.
Hearing Bryan's words, Councilor Brown was both surprised and dissatisfied with Bryan. It was alright if there were no teachers around, but Bryan said such words in front of his teacher.
His men had already briefed them earlier that this group of people came here as a representative of the school to visit his injured son, of course, they need to treat them well and should put up a good front.
In order to diffuse the situation, Councilor Brown let out a beaming smile, stood up and went in front of Teacher Theodore who was equally stunned by Bryan's words.
With an amiable smile, Councilor Brown reached out his free hands towards Teacher Theodore and said, "Welcome! Welcome! It's a pleasure to finally meet Bryan's teacher. I have heard so much about you from my son."
The enthusiasm of Councilor Brown immediately swept Teacher Theodore away. His expression gradually eased up as he proceeded to shake Councilor Brown's hands with equal enthusiasm. After all, the man before him was the number one councilor in Fore City, while he on the other hand was just a normal college teacher.
It was apparent how different their status was, yet here he was shaking hands with the man himself. Seeing Councilor Brown's kind appearance and enthusiasm, Teacher Theodore could not help but praise him inwardly. 'If only all the people in power could be this humble and kind,' he thought.
Meanwhile, as Councilor Brown diffused the situation perfectly, Bryan was still staring at Roland and Madison fiercely.
After thinking about it, Bryan thought that all of this happened because of Rolan and Madison. If Madison and Roland did not offend him, would he even try to ambush her at that time? If it wasn't for that, he would have not met that crazy guy. Hence, the moment he saw that Roland was looking around the room, he immediately took the opportunity to scold him, even forgetting the fact that his father was there in the room with them. As for Teacher Theodore being there, he doesn't care at all.
On the other hand, although Madison and the others already knew of Bryan's personality, they still did not expect for him to spat such words the moment they entered the room.
Madison in particular wanted to fume out for Roland. She considered herself as his rival as well as her friend. The two of them have a lot in common. Including the fact that the two of them came from a humble background. Hence, when Bryan spat those words to Roland even saying that he was a country bumpkin, it was equivalent to insulting Madison as well who came from the same background.
However, she knew for a fact that she could not do that. Especially because her teacher was in the room as well as Bryan's father- the number one councilor in Fore City.
She also knew of Councilor Brown's reputation in Fore City. She knew how good of a person he was and as a child from a poor family, she respected him greatly for what he had done for the city during these past years.
A person with great capability and kindness. She wondered just how someone like him had someone like Bryan as his son. It was a question worth pondering over. In respect for the number one councilor and the teacher in front of them, Madison could only grit her teeth and clench her fist in anger.
However, this incident was already imprinted in her mind. As to what she will do in the future for this little incident, only she herself would know.
On the other hand, Roland felt a little regretful after the little incident. He thought that a face-slapping opportunity had already presented itself; he did not expect that Councilor Brown would be able to mediate the situation hurriedly, making him miss a rare face-slapping opportunity. bender
At this point, Bryan already went silent after Councilor Brown took over the stage forcefully. If Roland still wanted to pursue the matter, he would not be able to get any face-slapping points as that would be considered as him instigating or aggravating the situation for the face-slapping opportunity.
Regarding that, Roland could only sigh in regret. At the same time, he looked at Councilor Brown in an unfriendly manner as he clicked his tongue. This person just made him lose some face-slapping points, of course he would look at him in an unfriendly manner.
However, even though Roland would not be able to earn face-slapping points, it doesn't mean he would just let this matter slide just like that. He was not a good person to begin with. The reason why he didn't fight back before was due to the fact that he knew full well that he didn't have the capability to offend such people.
Realizing one's limitations was something that he had learned early on.
However, everything was already different from back then. The capabilities that he once lacked… He was full of it now. There was no longer any need to be afraid at all.
Disregarding the enthusiastic Teacher Theodore and Councilor Brown, Roland stepped forward leisurely and walked in front of Bryan.
He raised his chin as he lightly leaned forward. From this angle, Roland was literally looking down on Bryan from above, "Yoo! How's life down there?"
