Victor dialed Jose's number, his fingers tapping the screen in anticipation. After a few rings, Jose answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Jose. It's Victor."

"Victor! Good morning sir?" Jose sounded submissive.

"I was wondering if you're on campus today."

"Yes sir, I'm around. Why?"

"I need to talk to you about something. Can we meet?"

"Sure sir, what's it about?"

"Alright. Where do you want to meet?"

"Is your class starting soon?"

"Yeah, in about twenty minutes."

"Perfect. Can we meet behind the e-library by 10:40?"

"Sure, Victor. I'll be there. Anything else?"

"No, that's it. Thanks, Jose."

"I am sorry ma'am but what you just said is a very awful speech.""What!" Patricia was taken aback."You just delivered a derogatory speech in German. Let me look at it." Franz picked up the piece of paper from her hand and glanced at it."Oh my God. It's really bad.""What does it say?" Patricia was shivering."Trust me you don't want to hear it."

    Victor and Michael were riding on their Lamborghini en route to the college stadium. Michael was on the wheels as always and Victor was narrating his victory at midnight cove."You should have seen Steffen's defeated eyes that begged for mercy while he was on his knees. Huh." He paused. "He surely must have been thinking about the long jail term he was going to be slammed with by the government after he was caught red handed.""Serves him right." Muttered Michael. "What about the marijuana and the cocaine his men were trying to load on their trucks?""Oh that shit? It's worth millions of dollars.""What did you do with them?"

How many times have we disrespected you or taken you for granted?

    CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO

    Victor had tried to let the memories of Mr Thompson's harsh and cruel confrontation to slide under the carpet, but the fact that he had threatened to slap him for trying to calm him down and explain their predicament made him infuriated at each thought as they replayed in his mind time and time again.What would have happened if I was not rich?
