The room was even more tense with the argument, especially after Lucas cornered the man. Of course, the man didn't accept what Lucas had said.He crossed his arms over his chest. His expression was cold and full of distaste. "You're too stupid to speak."His voice echoed in the quiet room, surprised everyone by his frontal remarks.Lucas gave a small smile with a slight upward lift of his eyebrows. "Mr. Charles Hamilton." His voice was low but firm with emphasis. "You have neglected people who needed help in your territory, haven't you?""What do you mean?" Charles stared at Lucas quizzically. His eyes reddened, glaring sharply."When the flood suddenly hit your territory a few years ago." Lucas put emphasis on every word that came out of his mouth. "I'm sure everyone here remembers."Lucas stopped his words momentarily to see the people's reactions there. Of course, their reactions were as he expected. They nodded, agreeing with Lucas' words, meaning they still remembered the inciden
Everyone there was shocked when they looked at the screen. It was a horrifying scene where there were many bodies covered in white cloths lined up along the entrance to the hospital. There were even some people who were seen vomiting blood and experiencing shortness of breath, which overwhelmed the nurses and medical personnel there. News of doctors dying in large numbers was also depicted there."You can see for yourselves that my country also had a biological attack similar to the one in your country." Harley stopped the video broadcast on the screen and looked back at everyone. "I deliberately hid this so as not to cause a riot, and many people died in my country as well."Everyone in there also looked at him quite surprised but did not dismiss the fact that the one spreading the virus in Lucas' country was Bouzi's country."So, you're saying... you want the other countries to feel the same way you do?" Garry raised both hands with a face that showed his dislike for Harley's statem
"Unbelievable." Everyone's view of Harley had completely changed. "He was supposed to reconcile the feud between the two countries here, but turned out to be the main perpetrator of the attack."Angry whispers one after another began to fill the room and naturally the disappointment was clearly reflected on their faces, especially the representatives of the country of Bouzi itself who were used to being called a peace-loving country."He doesn't deserve to be called the chairman of this court." Protests from the people present dominated the room. "How can he give justice when he himself has taken away the justice of other countries, even to the point of sacrificing his own people."Harley, who was no longer able to move with all the evidence Lucas had given him, was now bowed down weakly, full of anger and unable to fight back at all because even her own side had turned against him.Harley remained silent, neither replying nor fighting back. But even so, she also felt annoyed at Lucas
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
