Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 24 Mayor Foster in the Principal’s Office: Miss Jenkins

That was how ordinary people viewed him. In reality. Jim was a man who operated in the gray area between the lawful and unlawful worlds. He took on cases that others were too afraid to touch as they would involve the dirtiest of situations. Even the top bosses in the criminal underworld showed him respect. They would address him as Mr. Carter and send him gifts on holidays.

Furthermore, Jim’s mysterious and powerful personal background added to the fear people have of him. There were rumours that he was the prince of the underworld and his father was the leader of the largest criminal organisation in Southeast Ardon. However, whether this was true or not remained unknown to outsiders.

Once, someone attempted to investigate Jim’s background after he handled a murder case. Not only did they fail to find anything, but they also found themselves in trouble.

Jim thought, An anonymous friend? When Jim heard that, his hand that was holding a pen paused and he lifted his head. Yves. He wondered, Is she Yves’ friend? Why does she sound so young? Yves was not his real name and no one knew what his real name was. He had earned this nickname over time due to his status and the need for discretion. Jim could not neglect a friend of Yves, so he asked, “Where are you? Are you in the country or abroad? I will arrange for someone to come immediately.”

Isabelle replied, “I am in the country. Specifically Helios District of Norward City.”

“I happened to come here on a business trip two days ago and I was about to leave. Give me your exact location and I will come right away. Send ine the relevant information too and I will familiarise myself with the situation on the way.”

“I am at Norward High, but I don’t have any information.” Isabelle glanced at the school leaders, had unpleasant expressions on their faces, and continued calmly, “I am with the defendants.”

Norward High? A high school?

The defendants?

“If you’re unsafe, I can send more people over.”

Considering his profession and the fact that the other party is a friend of Yves, Jim would never thought that his client was facing a few school leaders who posed no danger and had no combat power.

Isabelle replied, “It’s fine.”

Jim said, “Tell me the specifics first.”

Isabelle calmly explained, “Slander, defamation, threats, and damage to personal reputation. I am the plaintiff and the defendants are the school leaders of Norward High.”
