Lucas was now in a private room. Lucas was sitting on a plush leather sofa, enjoying a cup of coffee. While in front of him, the man who welcomed him served him respectfully."Is the coffee sweet enough for you, Master?" He sat next to Lucas after pouring him a cup of coffee."No," Lucas replied shortly, taking a slow sip of his coffee.The man smiled happily as Lucas accepted his banquet. He was Robert Collins, a long-time personal servant of the Carter family.The Collins family was one of the major families in Hankak and was influential in politics and law. However, in accordance with an agreement from generations ago, their family pledged their loyalty and service to the Carter family, a bond based on an ancient covenant from their ancestors."Are you alright, Master?" Robert started the conversation politely, noticing Lucas' calm expression. "After what was probably quite an exhausting journey."Lucas raised his cup, taking a quiet sip of his coffee. "Of course, Robert. It was on
The library was quite quiet. Not many people came to visit. There were only a few young men reading books in the corner of the room. One of the young men approached the librarian to return a book. The librarian smiled kindly. "As usual, you finished it very quickly."Lucas smiled slightly and shook his head. "It's not that. I'm just taking advantage of the free time." "Not many people can utilize time like you." Lucas chuckled, but he kept his mouth shut, realizing his mistake. How could he forget the no-noise rule in the library? Librarian Thom also gave him a sharp look, but an instant later, it turned into a smile. He couldn't be red at the young man who had always filled one seat for a few years. "Well, what book would you like to borrow again?" Lucas relaxed his shoulders. He had no idea about the book he wanted to borrow yet. "I don't know, maybe I'll come back here after class. Thank you, Librarian Thom." Librarian Thom nodded with a smile. He was the librarian of Unive
Everyone cheered at Elena's statement. Although everyone had expected the girl's answer, they still cheered when they heard it in person. Some girls who heard it also whispered to each other in envy. "If I were him, I would accept it without hesitation." "With your ugly face, Mike won't even want to look at you." In the midst of the excitement, Lucas felt a wave of anger fill his heart. His hands were tightly clenched. He went forward but only took a step when Adam grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?"Lucas waved her hand, making Adam' grip loosen. "Let go!" He came forward and pulled on Elena's hand, which made her slip out of his embrace. "Let go!" Lucas shouted to Elena. Mike who saw Lucas pulling Elena's hand, immediately acted. He immediately pulled Lucas's hand away. "What the hell are you doing?" The people who saw that were confused. Lucas was known as an outstanding student. Even he was able to study here because of a full scholarship. What made him do that? "What
The three of them had arrived at the best fine-dining restaurant in the city. Other than a few waiters, there were no other customers in this place. They entered into a VIP room with an exclusive bar inside. Once they entered the room, they walked to the sofa in the center. The young man with a face resembling Lucas's invited her to sit. "Have a seat." Lucas nodded and sat on the sofa, facing the man who looked much like him. As for Chris, he stood not far from them with a silver suitcase in hand. The man picked up the menu book and opened it. There were many kinds of drinks in this place. "Want something to drink?" Lucas shook his head. He didn't want to mince words and got straight to the point. "Who exactly are you?" A few moments ago, he was very surprised when he saw a man who looked so much like him sitting in the car. At that, Lucas wanted to join them. The man smiled and closed the menu book he had opened. "I'm Louis Carter." "Louis Carter?" Lucas confirmed. Loui
"It's not that I don't want to, but...." Lucas was naturally conflicted. The fact that he had a family was shocking, let alone the truth that his family was the wealthiest in the city. Louis looked at his twin closely. "What are you waiting for?" Lucas looked into Louis's eyes intently. He paused for a moment and then spoke. "Wouldn't it be more beneficial for you if I didn't return?" Louis took a deep breath. It turned out that convincing his brother was harder than he imagined. "Lucas, remember, blood is thicker than water. I live in luxury, allowing strangers to live in luxury, but my brother cannot even have this glory." "Although blood is thicker than water, humans will think of benefits for themselves," Lucas said. He paused, remembering something. "Unless my departure is unfavorable to you." Louis let out a long breath. His face turned grim. "I don't want to seem pathetic in front of you. I hate to say this, but I must be honest if I'm not doing well." Lucas was surprise
"With all this glory, do you still want to attend college?" Louis knew that with Lucas's current intelligence, the young man could already manage the company without thinking about education.Lucas nodded. "Of course. I'm already in, so I have to finish it. And also, I almost forgot that today there are still courses and some assignments to do." "Let Chris drive you later," Louis said. A while ago, Chris went out and has now returned with a medicine pot in his hand. Chris handed the pot of medicine to Lucas. "The ointment should ease the pain on your face, Young Master." Lucas nodded. "Thank you." Helped by Chris using the ointment, Lucas felt that the wound had improved slightly. "Before you go, I want to take you to see our house," Louis said. Lucas nodded, not objecting at all. He also felt curious about where his brother lived. They left that place and went to the city's elite neighborhood. In the center of the area, there was a magnificent palace-like building. The mansion
Lucas was getting sick of hearing Jones' words. He gave Jones a sharp look and said. "Fine, I'll pay for everything." Jones chuckled in disbelief. Among all the people who got the scholarship, Lucas was the poorest person he knew. In a condescending voice, Jones said, "What will you pay with? It's obvious you're poor, but you're a slob." Lucas snorted. "What do you want? "You asked me to pay my tuition, now I'm going to pay it, and you're insulting me." Jones continued to demean Lucas. "How could I not? You'll find a discounted meal for lunch, right? How do you want to pay 20,000 dollars?" Lucas smiled sarcastically at Jones' statement. "Your mind is that narrow.""That's the fact," Jones concluded. "Never mind, you won't be able to afford it. Come out now and kowtow to Mike. I'll forget about this incident." "You didn't misspeak?" Lucas said. His patience was running out. He's a full scholarship recipient, he shouldn't have been charged tuition, but Jones asked him to pay. And
