Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 466 " Stop dragging me into your mess , you degenerate bastard ! " Kyle shouted . " You ... ungrateful ... little" Gordon wheezed , his voice weak . " Shut up ! " Kyle bellowed , putting every ounce of anger into his voice . He wanted everyone to know whose side he was on - and to finally let out all his pent - up rage . As a sports coach , every punch and kick he threw landed hard on the old , overweight man . The room filled with Gordon's muffled cries . Two minutes later , hurried footsteps echoed outside . The door burst open .

Bryce Donaldson , the chancellor of Astergrad University , rushed in with a formal document clutched in his hand . Where the hell are you , Gordon ?! " He froze when he saw Kyle pounding the man on the floor . Realizing who had entered , Kyle immediately straightened and stepped back , scrambling to compose himself . " M- Mr. Chancellor ! " Bryce hesitated , uncertain what he was looking at . One thing was clear , though - he had wanted to punch Gordon just as badly . " What the hell , Gordon ?! The board almost withdrew 1.3 million dollars in funding because of you ! " Bryce barked .

" You're fired ! " It happened exactly as Lucas had predicted . The chancellor slammed the termination document against Gordon's face , the metal corner slicing into his nose . Blood streamed down as Gordon howled in pain . He crawled toward Bryce like a drowning man grasping for a lifeline . " You're finally here ! That bastard Kyle nearly killed me ! Don't fire me yet , Mr. Donaldson - I can still bring value to the university ! I've secured a million - dollar investment . The investor's on their way here ! " 1 Bryce frowned .

He had rushed over after hearing from the board that Gordon had crossed a serious line , but he still didn't know the details . If the man truly had an investor ready to commit that much money ... maybe a small reprieve wouldn't hurt . " Mr. Chancellor . " Bryce turned at the voice . " Professor Langley ? What are you- " His words stopped short when he saw who stood beside her . Was that Sebastian Grimwald ? His shock melted into nervous flattery . " My goodness , is that really Mr. Grimwald ? An honor to meet you in person ! " I gave a small nod .

" Both of these idiots were harassing my girlfriend . I came to deal with it . " Astrid's face turned crimson . ' Did he just call me his girlfriend in front of the chancellor ? I know it's only an act , but still - my heart won't stop racing ! ' 1/2 425 Bonus Bryce's expression darkened . Gordon had managed to offend Sebastian Grimwald - the man whose company , Sleeping Giant , dominated the entire country's business scene . Investment or not , Gordon had just become radioactive . The university couldn't afford to keep him for even a day longer . Still , Bryce forced a measured tone .

" Professor Langley , what exactly did they do to you ? " If it was something minor , perhaps there was still a way to salvage that promised funding . " They both sexually harassed me and several female students and staff , " Astrid said coldly . " Some of them were even assaulted .
