Through the glass in the door of the room, Henry saw a man in his fifties, wearing iron-framed glasses, moving his five fingers in front of several men about his age.The man wore a white shirt tucked into formal black pants."Five hundred thousand?"A bald-headed old man lifted himself slightly from the sofa he was sitting on out of curiosity.The bespectacled man shook his head."What? That's impossible! You mean five million?"Another man, wearing a full suit and dark brown tie, showed an equally surprised expression.The bespectacled man shook his head again while continuing to smile.What he did caused everyone's mouths to drop."So you mean fifty million?"The guess came from a middle-aged woman wearing a very tight dress that revealed a bit of her slightly overweight body.Upon hearing the last guess, the bespectacled man nodded."Exactly! ... Fifty million!That is the amount we will receive if the young man named Marco can endure just one semester in this program!"As he said
He shook his head. "I've never been afraid of a barking dog!"Henry entered the room, leaving Silas with a surprised look on his face."You impudent! Poor boy, you dare to insult us! If it is not to make your life miserable, never call me Silas!" he said angrily as he closed the door and followed Henry from behind."Hello...! Welcome, buddy!"Saying these words, Burl got up from the sofa he was sitting on.Then he patted the sofa, as if cleaning it, and made a gesture with his hands."Come, please sit here! We warmly welcome you!"His words and gestures made the other lecturers laugh again."Yes, come here, Mr. Clown! We are very entertained by your words!" someone said."I hope there's another form of entertainment you can provide us with!" another added, the laughter growing louder.Henry just stood there, staring at them.This encouraged Burl to taunt him even more."Hey, buddy, why are you just standing there? Please don't be shy! Think of this place as your own!"Saying that, he
"Yes, sir! I asked him to leave, but he insisted on standing his ground as if he were the one who was absolutely right!"This time it was Silas who said those words."If it weren't for Mr. Burl's generosity, I might have had to take stern measures to make him behave more politely towards an elder!"The words of these two people naturally made Elton curse."That little rascal... did you tell me you wanted us to educate him?"Elton asked, tilting his head in Burl's direction."You shouldn't be too soft on little rascals like that, or he'll keep giving you trouble!" Elton slowly walked over to the sofa.At that moment, he saw the head of someone sitting on the sofa, as if he had seen it somewhere before."Why does he look so familiar?" he thought.However, in order to maintain his dignity, he had to continue to stand firm in front of them.But before he reached the sofa, Burl spoke again."Sir, what if we take strict measures against the students in class A from now on?"Burl had had an
All the lecturers, including Burl, now had their foreheads on the ground as the two bodyguards continued to kick their bodies.Enduring the pain in their bodies, they continued to plead with Elton.But instead of listening or paying attention to them, Elton turned his anxious gaze to Henry, who just seemed to remain silent."Damn! If he doesn't say anything, I'll torture them until he's satisfied!" he thought."Those damn teachers, they've put my career on the line now!"Since Henry was silent, Elton felt he had to be even harder on them.He felt he had to do this to show Henry that he wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of the Dean."Stop!"Elton ordered his two bodyguards to stand back.Then he looked at all the teachers."All of you, raise your heads! Now!" he shouted.Reluctantly, with expressions of fear in their eyes, they did as instructed.But their eyes remained fixed on the floor. None of them dared look at Elton at that moment.At that moment, they hoped that Elton would sho
He paused for a moment and continued, "As for the money, I can assure you that he intends to give it to the dedicated teachers who tirelessly taught his son!And since I was the interim dean at the time, he planned to give me ninety percent of it!" he continued."But since you're here, I won't regret it if you take half of it for yourself!"Elton said this as a compromise.He hoped that even if Henry took the money, the young man would still consider leaving a substantial amount for him."He shouldn't dare take the whole amount, should he?" Elton thought. "Because if he does, he knows I could report him to Mr. Gallagher!"When Elton thought he had given the most favorable answer he could think of, Henry's reply was completely unexpected."I didn't ask you to give it to me or not! I'm just testing whether or not you can be honest with me!"Really?Elton was startled at that moment.It was really hard for him to believe what Henry was saying."Is he so rich that he doesn't want a share
Why did the police suddenly arrive and arrest the teachers, including Elton?And how did Henry find out about the donation?The answer to the first question is simple.When Henry heard Burl talking about the tens of USD donation, he secretly took out his cell phone and recorded their conversation.However, since he was listening from outside the room, he felt that the audio recording might not be very clear.He wanted to go in right away, but he was worried about two things.First, "What if they find out my identity?" he thought. "They will certainly cover up this conversation, maybe even deny it!"And second, "If they don't really know me, will they let me in?"At that moment, he brainstormed a way to get those inside to let him in without changing the subject of their conversation.Henry was lucky because not only did none of them know his identity, but they continued to talk about the donation as if Henry was nobody.When everyone went to the door to greet Elton, Henry took his pho
For a moment, Hannah felt like she was seeing a different side of the young man."Is this the same person I met earlier?" she thought.Shaking her head several times, she spoke again."Yes, I know it! I know it is! But if you involve the police in this matter, it will also have a negative impact on the reputation of our campus!Don't you think how people will view our campus if one of the faculty leaders is arrested on the spot?"Hannah spoke with more emotion.Her chest, visibly rising and falling, betrayed the anger within her.But seemingly unaffected by her words, Henry replied."Miss, if you take this matter to the campus ethics committee, are you sure that Elton and everyone else will get the punishment they deserve?"Generally, all campus issues, whether academic, financial, or even administrative, are resolved internally without outside intervention, including the police.In this case, the internal body responsible for handling such matters is usually the university's ethics c
While the two incredibly beautiful girls were still lost in their thoughts, a voice was heard from behind them.Cough! Cough!"Wow, I never thought that a professor would dare to hug his woman so romantically in public!"The voice wasn't too loud, but it could still be heard quite far away.When Henry heard it, he immediately helped Hannah to her feet.Of course, Henry did it very gently, making the newcomer even more convinced that the girl was indeed Henry's girlfriend."Miss Hannah, are you all right?" Henry asked with a look of concern on his face.Asked that way, Hannah just lowered her head and shook it slightly."I'm fine," she said very quietly, almost inaudible to him.It was the first time Hannah had acted like this around Henry.She, who usually exuded authority and felt that she should protect the young man, now felt the opposite in her heart.For the first time, she felt that Henry had the ability to care for and protect her.It was also the first time she had found a you
