107. Two minutes

''You... Fine. Since you want an introduction then I will give you one. She is Stephanie Brown, the only child and heiress to the Brown Groups.'' The girl on the right said loudly with a very confident air as if she was afraid that the others couldn't hear her.

''Ah... The Brown Groups hmm?''

''What? Scared now?'' Though Stephanie was surprised at the lack of reaction from Li Zhilan, she could only think that it was because Li Zhilan was scared dumb and so tried to put words into Li Zhilan's mouth.

But right after the words left her mouth, everyone around started to giggle before it turned into a full blown laughter.

''Pftt... Did you hear that?''

''That was hilarious haha. Since when were The Browns so powerful?''

''Exactly. She thinks that our Goddess will be scared of her just because she is a member of the Browns? Stop dreaming haha...''

''Pftt... I guess she forgot where she stands after the absence of the goddess.''

''I still haha can't get a control of my laughter pftt.. haha...''

''Is she still sleeping? Or is she daydreaming? haha...''

''Haha...''

The more the three of the girls heard the words of the people around ridiculing them, the paler their faces turned. What's happening? Since when was Goddess Li involved? Is it because they broke the rule she had set?

''You-" Stephanie was smarter compared to the other two so she started to understand things earlier but she couldn't bare it. She wished for what she thought to be wrong.

''Miss Brown, since when were The Love Corporations afraid to the Brown Groups? Why didn't I know that? Seems like in these three months that I was absent, the Browns made a huge leap and became more powerful. Guess we, The Love Cooperations have to work harder to get back our position.''

''You... You. Why are you here?''

''Miss Brown, did you hurt you head or were you an idiot since the moment you were born? Ofcouse I'm here because I am also a part of this school.''

''Weren't.. weren't you suppose to come... come back next week only? Why-"

''I get it. You were born an idiot. No that's not right... even idiots are smarter then you.''

''Miss Li... No. Goddess Li. Please forgive us. We were wrong. We didn't know that you were coming back so soon. If If we knew, we we won't have don't that even if we were fed the guts of a hundred tigers. We-"

''So what you mean to say is that it's my fault for coming early. That I should have stayed away for a week more. For what? To be fooled? You got too much of guts for a fool.''

Compared to the shaky, fear filled voice of Stephanie, Li Zhilan's voice was cool with ridicule laced in every word.

The three girls could no longer hold themselves up and fell on the floor. They finally knew what was happening. They were finished. Their family, especially the Brown Groups was also most likely finished as well. This... how did things turn out like this? They had everything planned. Starting from next week, they were going to put up a 'good girl' front. They had it all planned so what the hell went wrong?

On the other hand the counselors of the school, the most powerful and dignified students, were running towards a certain direction after getting a notification. It even felt like they were running a 100 meters dash on a distance same to that of a marathon. All their cool and powerful persona had changed into a scared cat persona just because of a message on their School counselor group.

President: 2 minutes. Student council room.

Within two minutes, the counselors entered the room one after the other.

''President is back?''

''Has to be or she won't ask us to gather.''

''Am I the only one who feels that the president is angry?''

''The feelings mutual. I also feel that she is angry. Like very angry.''

''Me too.'' The dignified counselors of Itaka High were currently shaking in fear. It had been days since they last looked at the forum because they had a lot of works these days so they didn't know what all happened.

In exactly two minutes, not a second less, The door to the student council room was pushed open and Li Zhilan walked in. Her aura was on full swing at the moment and with just one look, everyone knew that she was angry, scratch that, she was furious.

She sat at the head of the table, crossed her legs and leaned back while eyeing everyone slowly.

Within twenty seconds, the 5 students who were ranked among the strongest had their heads hung low. These 20 seconds were the toughest 20 seconds they had in their entire live.

''Explain.'' Li Zhilan's cold voice broke the silent air in the room. But the five if them were under more stress because they didn't know what they were to explain. Finally a girl stepped forward to ask the question in everyone's heart.

''President, what are we-"

"Why is the school in such a mess? You better have a good explanation.''

...

While the counselors were being roasted by Li Zhilan, the forum was as active as it could get.

''The Goddess is back.''

''Wow... Her entry. God... it's mind blowing. She took down the top bullies right after her return.''

''Thats expected of our Goddess.''

''She had this cold air around her today. Guess something is bothering her. I wish I could help her.''

''Yeah I also noticed that. She looked unusually cold. But I still love her. She is so freaking hot. Ah.. my heart. It will no longer have much rest again.''

''I'd rather my heart to rest less then to be pained. Damn I missed her so much these few months.''

''Me too. I don't feel like coming to school without her. It's too... I don't know how to explain the feeling but thats it, I don't like it without her.''

''Yeah me too. The school is less fun without her.''

''Yeah. Now our hearts will be happier with her around.''
