When Taniya entered the lecture hall with great expectation, she saw Russell fingering his nose and felt extremely turned off by it. Her expression visibly changed, and she changed her mind. Instead of coming over to greet Russell, she went straight to her place. Russell smiled faintly, thinking that his tactic worked. “If I keep doing these kinds of things, I’m sure she’ll change her opinion on me. It’s definitely difficult to make a girl fall in love with you, but it’s very easy to make them hate you.” Taniya sat down and began to curse him in a low voice. “He is disgusting. I’m never going to let him touch me with those hands. Never.” Kyra, who was barely able to listen to her voice now through the recorder, wondered, “I just started listening, but… Disgusting? Touching? What’s she talking about? Did he try to do something nasty?” she gritted her teeth. “Russell… you… how could I have not seen what kind of person you were even though we were together for months?” she touched her

There was no graveyard nearby, so Rachel was buried in the backyard itself because Tom wanted to be near to her.Tom had been drinking since afternoon, and he drank more than twenty bottles by the time night fell.Russell was the only person with him, not counting Max. Even though Russell kept telling Tom to stop drinking, Tom didn’t listen and kept telling about his life.Tom sniffled. “Don’t become like me, Russell. Ever since my wife grew sick, I couldn’t work outside. I lost touch with my friends. I had no social life, and now nobody has come to see me even though I made you call their phone numbers. I have become a worthless person in their eyes. That’s why none of them showed up. Don’t become someone like me.”“I’ll keep your words in mind, sir, but you should get inside,” Russell tried to take him into the home, but Tom refused to go inside. He chose to stay there.Russell then had to bring a chair and sit next to him. And they talked about a lot of things, with Tom talking mos

Tom resumed his tuition classes, which took up his morning time. In the afternoon, he exclusively taught Russell.Tom did not have any laptop or electronic equipment with him, so he had to borrow it from a nearby store.“How much does a basic suit cost these days?” Tom asked Russell.“If you’re talking about a cheap suit that can withstand a work horse, then you’ve gotta put upwards of 200 dollars at least,” Russell replied. “Why?”“How about a mid-level suit?”“Upwards of a thousand dollars.”“How about a luxury suit?”“Starting from 1500 dollars, the price can go up to any extent depending on who made it and what kind of things were added onto it.”“Mm, let’s take 2000 dollars as our benchmark to get a luxury suit these days,” Tom showed him the calculations on the laptop. “If we convert that into gold, you can buy an ounce of gold today.”Russell also calculated that in his mind. “Yep. It adds up close to that much.”“So, we can see that you can buy a luxury suit for an ounce of go

In the end, Tom didn’t buy any clothes for Russell, nor did he take him to a nice restaurant.Russell had to settle with a regular chocolate.Then they went to an old age home and donated the 1900 dollars before returning home. Tom gave his chocolate to Max.Seeing that Russell was still sulking, Tom said, “Why is your face so rigid? A real man shouldn’t be upset when others don’t recognize his hard work.”“But you’re not some random person,” Russell retorted. “You’re my teacher.”“Mm, I guess you do have a point. Fine. I’ll let you keep the money you earn through betting next time.”“Really?” Russell’s eyes lit up. He was already planning to earn a lot this time around.“Yep, but it won’t be so easy this time because you'll be betting on the most difficult stage there is: the stock market,” Tom said with confidence that Russell was going to suffer this time.“I will exceed your expectations!” Russell matched Tom’s confidence.“Before you start, though, remember this: Nothing happens

Capitalizing on annual returns was a commonly used trading strategy in the stock market, but Russell did not follow such frequently-used techniques employed by the masses.He used high-risk trading techniques throughout the day and managed to earn 1.1 million dollars within 6 hours. And then he spent the next eight hours doing things that were a hundred times riskier. If his earlier approach was like a professional hunter tracking down a deer and killing it with an arrow or a bullet. This next approach was more along the lines of tracking down tigers and snatching the prey from their jaws like crazy-hungry scavengers would. In doing so, he angered some reputed brands, but he earned a whopping 13 million dollars.Tom was proud of Russell, but he didn’t praise him. Instead, he said, “Normally, earning such huge sums involve illegal or unethical activities. So, you should accumulate your wealth with careful planning so that nobody will be able to ever put you behind bars. Now, what are y
