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 just as she was about to pay him, he asked her to bow down to Mike. It was completely out of the blue. But when remembering how difficult his life was, Lucas calmed himself down. After all, before today, Jones had never bothered him. "Look, I've got the money, and I want to pay right now. Let's finish the payment right now."Jones chuckled. Twenty thousand dollars was a lot of money. There was no way he could believe that line of bullshit. "Just listen to me. Go to Mike, apologize, and bow down to him. I'll extend your scholarship." Lucas clenched his fists. This time, Jones had crossed the line. Lucas was furious with the behavior of this man in front of her. With a family background she only knew, Lucas was very confident facing Jones. He spoke calmly but with emphasis. "You'll have to kowtow to me if you want to live in peace after this." Jones' laughter broke out right then and there. It was the funniest joke he had ever heard. A poor student asking him to kowtow? That was outrageous, wasn't it? "You dare to ask me that?" Jones said, still with an arrogant laugh. Lucas said seriously. There was no hesitation in his gaze. "Of course. Do you think only you can do it?" The door to the room opened, and a sarcastically laughing Mike appeared. He had been at the front of the room for some time and heard everything Lucas said. What the young man said tickled his ears. "You have the guts to say that, too," Mike said. He had a feeling that Lucas had amnesia from being hit by his friends. "I'm sure you'll soon regret what you just said." "I'll never regret it." Lucas looked serious. Mike clucked. "That was a great joke. It will certainly be followed by tremendous regret as well." Lucas snorted. He had guessed that it was all Mike's doing. Although he already knew, the moment he saw his face made Lucas want to beat him up. "It's not a joke. I meant what I said." Mike approached Lucas, pointing at his chest. Every word that came out of his mouth was full of emphasis. "Lucas, realize your position. This world is not a world that people like you can belong to. Only people with a background like mine can manage."Lucas just glanced at him with a scornful expression. "Scum like you don't belong." Mike took a handkerchief and wiped his hands that he was using, as disgusted as if he was holding dirt. Lucas, who did not accept that, did the same thing, even worse. He rubbed his chest and blew on it repeatedly as if afraid that a trace of Mike's touch would be left behind. "No manners, touching people carelessly. What if the disease doesn't know your shame is contagious?" "Damn it!" Mike felt angry when Lucas did that.Lucas ignored Mike's anger. He took a wallet from the bag and took out a black card. "Mr. Jones, hurry up and finish the payment. I don't want to be in the same room with this guy for too long." "Behave yourself!" Jones reprimanded Lucas. Mike's family had an important role in this town. If Mike felt dissatisfied while being with her, she was worried about getting into trouble in the future. "Uh, what's this?" Jones' anger disappeared instantly when he saw the cards in Lucas's hand. So did Mike. He laughed at the sight, thinking that Lucas was out of his mind for giving him a toy card. "What is this card? Where is there a payment card shaped like this?" Mike scoffed. "You seem to watch too many movies." The card in Lucas's hand was not like a normal Black Card. The card looked like a toy card because it looked so plain. Just a chip and the letters LC as the owner's initials."Do you think I'll believe you? Idiot." Jones scoffed. "You won't accept it?" Lucas stared at the two with an astonished look. As a rich man, shouldn't Lucas know about the special edition black card?"What is this card? It's just a children's toy card. Why should I accept it." Jones scoffed. "Other people you might be able to fool, but not me." Mike took something out of his wallet. It's a black card from Universal Bank. The card owner had an initial balance of at least ten million dollars. "Look at this. This is the real black card." Lucas flipped the card over, revealing a pattern of a dragon spitting out fireballs. "This is a limited edition card. How did you not know? Or are you a fake rich man?" "What an insolent mouth you have." Mike came forward and was about to snatch Lucas's card. But Lucas quickly dodged because he knew Mike would do something bad. Lucas argued. "Why, after I said it was a special edition, would you steal it?" "Why would I steal a toy card?" Mike shouted, still trying to snatch the card from Lucas's hand. To be honest, he was also curious about the card in Lucas's hand. He had heard of the card but dismissed it as a myth. "Then why are you chasing me?" "I just want to reduce the fake cards in this world!" Mike exclaimed. Lucas was starting to lose his temper. He looked at Lucas for a moment and slapped Mike's face so hard that it left a red mark on his face.Mike couldn't help but swear. "Bastard! Son of a bitch!""What did you call me?" Lucas screeched"YOU, SON OF BITCH!"Lucas punched Mike again in the same spot, making the cheek that was originally just bruised take him out. "Finish him!" shouted Mike, ordering Jones. Jones nodded and walked over to Lucas. Both of his hands prepared to grip Lucas's body. However, before Jones could do anything, the door to the room suddenly opened, revealing someone staring at the three of them with a sharp gaze. "What's all the commotion about?"The three men in the room turned their heads toward the door. All three had the same expression, that of surprise. However, the most surprised person here was Jones.The well-dressed man who had just entered the room was George, the college's chancellor. A few minutes ago, someone from the mysterious Carter family contacted him. Their party requested that George give preferential treatment to a certain student who was under the protection of the Carter family. Without hesitation, George immediately agreed. Based on the information that the Carter family provided, the person was in the category of outstanding students, so protecting him was not a difficult thing. Although George had the authority to involve more people in protecting this particular student, he chose to do it directly and save time. He contacted Jones faster than anyone else because Jones was the most suitable person to do so. Arriving in front of Jones' room, the commotion caught his attention. "What's the matter,
Hearing George's decision, Jones reacted with annoyance, and he glanced at Mike. "Mr. George, you must remember that you should be on my side," Mike told me. "My family is very influential in this place, don't forget that." Thanks to his family's power, Mike was used to getting what he wanted. As well as this time, he was determined to get what he wanted. George looked at Mike calmly. He was well aware of how big a role Mike's family played in this university. What Mike didn't realize, however, was that he was dealing with someone who was under the protection of the Carter family. "I fully understand how important your family is here." "If you know that, why are you siding with this trash?" Mike said angrily. He was feeling very frustrated because it seemed like George liked Lucas, and that made it so that he wouldn't get what he wanted. Hearing that, George was furious. He was eager to reveal Jordan's identity to teach Mike a lesson, but the Carter family emissary asked him to d
The three of them left the campus. Adam and Ryan complied, thinking Lucas would take them somewhere cheaper, but neither of them could contain their surprise when they arrived at their destination. Adam gripped Lucas's right hand, asking questioningly. "Why are we here?" "Eat. What else." Lucas replied casually. Lucas pulled his two friends in, but Adam and Ryan didn't move. They stayed where they were. "You must be wrong, right?" Ryan stared at Lucas with an incredulous look. This was The Blues, one of the more expensive cafes. It was a nice place that was very popular among teenagers. Lucas smiled widely. He had expected that his two friends would behave like this. He replied seriously, his face showing earnestness. "I'm serious. Let's just eat here." Adam took out his wallet, as did Ryan. They counted the remaining money in their wallets that they had to use until the end of the month. The two young men let out a long sigh. They became gloomy when they found out the amount o
"Damn, you arrogant bastard!" The waiter grumbled. It was not uncommon for him to encounter arrogant students, but almost all of them were rich students who came to this place by car. Unlike the three students in front of him who were wearing bulky shoes. Adam and Ryan looked at Jordan with concern. Lucas had never behaved like this before. "Lucas, I think we can still stop now." Adam said. He didn't want to add to the problem. Ryan nodded in agreement. If he made a scene, it became very likely that his scholarship would be revoked by the government. He didn't want that to happen. Ryan tried to advise Lucas. "We can apologize and leave nicely."Lucas only glanced at his two friends for a moment before looking at the waitress again. "Why are you still here? "Make my order because I'm already hungry." The waiter remained silent and stared at Lucas with a sharp gaze. "Why, are you scared?" Lucas began to bluff. He knew that the waitress liked a challenge. Hearing that, the waiter
Lucas smiled sarcastically at Grace's sassy remark. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped his sauce-stained clothes. After that, Lucas's sardonic gaze turned to Grace. "You're so confident." Grace smiled wryly. She looked very confident now. "Of course. A bunch of poor students like you should not be pitied."Lucas put his handkerchief back and leaned back. "You know, you can get into big trouble." "What trouble can you give me?" Grace smiled mockingly. To her Lucas and his two friends were nothing more than a bunch of bums. Lucas smiled sarcastically. He stroked his chin, looking like he was thinking about something. "Dismissal maybe. That's good enough. Besides, I guarantee that no restaurant will accept you guys for the next year."Grace suddenly turned her gaze towards her friends. Their laughter erupted. Some of them even held their stomachs from laughing so hard. "This... this sounds really funny!" Grace said. Her laughter drew confused looks from the people around her. They
Finally Grace picked up the card and laughed. "It's really a toy card." The servants who heard her immediately approached Grace. They were also curious and checked it out. "Is this a fake card?" Nathalie asked. She rarely made payment transactions with customers, so she didn't know much about card types. Grace nodded with confidence. "Every black card should have a bank logo on it. "No. But look, it has a picture of an ugly dragon instead." Grace pointed to the dragon on the card. "Are you sure?" asked Nathalie.Grace nodded. "I've seen it before." "Really?" Nathalie asked again, she wasn't sure what Grace was saying. "When?" Grace looked at Nathalie with a sharp look in her eyes. "You don't believe it?" Nathalie nodded. "Yesterday I saw a young gentleman who came in a red ferrari paying for his reservation using a black card." Grace explained. Nathalie who heard it only nodded because yesterday there was indeed a customer using a red ferrari as in Grace's explanation. "So th
Grace, on the other hand, was already preparing to beat up Lucasand the others. She even rolled her sleeves up. "Get them!" Grace shouted, ordering her tenants to grab Jordan. "Don't let them escape!" "Okay!" The waitresses nodded, obeying the orders of Grace, the cafe's head waitress. They immediately surrounded Lucas and the others, not letting them escape. Adam and Ryan panicked and quickly stood up. Lucas also began to lose his composure. Although all the people surrounding them were women, they looked fierce. "What are you guys doing!" The two were very panicked. Seeing the two panicking, Grace smiled with satisfaction. He was already thinking of what blow he would give to the three youths. Meanwhile, Nathalie approached Grace with a worried face and whispered. "Grace, isn't this too much?" Nathalie said. She looked around and realized that many people were disturbed by their attitude. "See that? They're filming it." "I'll finish it," Grace replied. She just realized that
Grace's eyes flashed with anger. Grace gave Lucas a sharp look. She couldn't believe that, in front of this café owner, Lucas was still bragging."How dare you!" Grace scolded. Her voice trembled with anger. She averted her gaze and bowed slightly to Manas with a pleading expression. "Sir, don't listen to him, he's a real liar, a big-time con artist!" Manas found something interesting in Grace's words. With the cafe's sterling reputation, it was hard for her to believe that an imposter would dare to set foot in this place. "Swindler?" Grace nodded. His fist tightened. "That's right. He pretended to have a black card, but he didn't have anything. The cards he's carrying are just toy cards." "Liar." Lucas held up his black card to Manas. "If it's not a black card, then what is it?" An angry hiss came out of Grace's mouth. annoyed at Lucas for always using the toy card and calling it a black card. "It's black, yes, I can see it, but it has no value! That card is fake, that card is j
