Transmigrated into the Most Hated Scum. My Wives are Plentiful!

Chapter 85: Branded a Thief



That night, Koul trained out in the open. The cool breeze helped his body relax and expend more energy.

He actually liked it.

He trained for a long while, occasionally hiding from the eyes of the guards. At some point, Kanstiv even came out to tell him he should end it.

Kanstiv had been secretly keeping an eye on Koul. After all, he was still a king and there might be people aware of his new disguise.

So technically, attempts could still be made on his life.

Koul, however, dismissed Kanstiv and carried on.

After hours of training, Koul finally relented. He was soaked in sweat despite the cold night breeze.

Kanstiv handed him a towel and after that, they parted ways. Koul returned to his room while Kanstiv to his.

The next morning, Koul washed up and headed out.

First, he went to the dining hall for breakfast. The moment he stepped in, every eye turned to him.

He didn't mind, he casually went to grab a tray to get food.

He thought it was the usual judging eyes and the murmurs drifting around. But for some reason, it felt oddly heavier.

His eyes quietly swept around, noting their awkward stares and irritated expressions.

He sighed softly, grabbed his tray of food and looked around for any empty table.

Of course, if he looked farther, he might've seen one but Koul was too lazy.

Pretty sure if I sit beside anyone, they'd run away and leave me to myself.

Yep! I'll do just that.

He went over to a table where there was a group of students. They flinched when they saw him approach.

He calmly dropped his tray on the table and sat down. The students exchanged awkward glances and immediately left with their meals.

Unbothered, Koul started eating.

"Wow, he's so shameless."

"He doesn't even seem to mind."

"The nerve of him to still show up to eat, tsk!"

Koul's ears twitched at the comments that made his hearings. They were different from the usual insults which left him a bit confused.

But he couldn't possibly ask them what the issue was. And he thought it could still be because he was without talent, so he didn't really mind.

But as he ate his food quietly, a palm slammed down on his table.

BAM!

The noise resounded and drifted far, drawing attention. It even made Koul's tray bounce lightly and shake.

Koul lifted his gaze to meet a female student. She had long pink hair that was tied in twin ponytails. A bit curly.

On both sides, two female students flanked her.

What's this? Is the typical girl boss bully about to start?

"You! After doing that, you are still acting so shameless?" She asked.

Her brows were drawn tight together, her face a storm of anger and irritation.

Koul, who has had no idea what they've been talking about since the beginning, simply sighed.

He found the girl's actions to be very rude. But he decided to let it go.

He pulled his tray closer to himself, and continued eating.

The girl's face flared red in anger.

"Are you ignoring me right now?!" She fumed, her busty chest mounting and falling.

Calmly, Koul replied.

"I don't know. What does it look like?"

"You…you..you!" She fumed, unable to even form any proper sentence.

With an exasperated sigh, Koul dropped his cutleries and raised his gaze up at her.

"Just what have you all been on about?" He asked.

The girl wanted to fume more, thinking he was pretending not to know. But Koul's face held genuine confusion.

Her angry face loosened into a smile.

"Heh! Don't tell me you have no idea what has happened?" She asked in a mocking tone.

Koul stared blankly, his eyes silently questioning if she was dumb.

He thought if she wasn't, then she wouldn't be asking unnecessary questions.

If he knew, would he have asked?

The girl understood his expression clearly and flared into anger again.

"You idiot! You have been caught! You only arrived here yesterday yet already stole one of the school's treasures. Hahaha, you have been caught now!"

She laughed aloud.

I did?

Her laughter slowly died down when she met Koul's unbothered face.

Huh? Why isn't he bothered? He's been caught though. Or does he think he can easily get out of this? She wondered internally.

"Which treasure are you talking about? And what do you mean steal?" Koul questioned.

"Heh! Your room is already being checked at the moment. If they find it there, you're done for!"

Hearing this, Koul's face twisted in shock.

The girl smiled wide, thinking Koul was finally feeling the weight of his actions. But Koul was just shocked that the school would dare check his room without his consent.

"These fuckers!" He moved to rise but just then, an announcement rang out.

"Reshan Veltaur, you have been summoned to the principal's office."

"Hee! See?"

She chuckled with mocking eyes.

Koul calmly rose from his seat and started heading out. Every eye trailed behind him, judging.

He was yet to fully grasp the situation, but anger had started boiling deep within him.

He didn't even know about the so-called school treasures. He just arrived so how could he?

Yet there was already an allegation against him. And rather than inform him, the person in question, the school decided to search his room without his consent.

This deeply angered him.

As he headed down the hall to the principal's office, he clenched and unclenched his fist, trying to put his emotions under control.

He didn't want to do anything in anger or make any decisions that would come back to bite him later.

Let's assess the situation first.

When he got to the office, he knocked gently. Only when the principal's voice rang out and granted him entry did he push open the door and get in.

To his surprise, his new parents, Mr and Mrs Veltaur were already seated and waiting for him.

A pang of shock and disbelief hit Koul. His heart pounded heavy and his anger was instantly reignited.

He couldn't believe they'd gone as far as to involve his adoptive parents already.

They hadn't even heard from him, yet they'd done this.

Even if Koul didn't look it, he wanted to refrain from causing problems for these two people that had welcomed him with so much love.

He thought the least he could do to repay them was stay out of trouble and not add more to the negative rumors already out and about them.

Koul glanced toward his adoptive parents, and as soon as he locked eyes with Mrs Veltaur, she turned her face away.

The disappointment on her face was evident which stirred discomfort in Koul's heart.
