Return Of The Ultimate Young Master

Chapter 8

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 do this secretly.

He took a deep breath to calm down. "Mr. Mike, please behave yourself. Although your family is very influential, Lucas also has an important role in this school. The government even appreciated his discovery. I can't let you hurt him for no good reason."

Mike snorted, his face turning red as he felt very upset. He gave George a sharp glare and gave him a stern warning. "Mr. George, you will regret this very much. I will report this to my father. Our family won't be the primary investor of this school anymore." 

For a moment, George felt panicked. However, he quickly calmed himself down, remembering that the Carter family was on his side. Compared to Mike's family, the Carter family had more power and influence, and they could destroy Mike's family easily if they got angry. 

With a calm and confident face, George said to Mike, "I'm sure your father is a wise man. If he was offended by what I did, I'm sure he would have come straight to me and discussed the matter directly."

Mike stepped forward, his face flushed with anger. "Mr. George, are you ignoring me? Get Jordan out of here right now, or you'll be in big trouble!" he threatened. His respect for George was complete, especially after George took Lucas' side despite his logical reasoning. "If you're unwilling to let him out, I'll teach him a lesson." 

George gave Mike a sharp glare, his eyebrows knitted in surprise.  "That's enough, Mr. Mike. I've had enough of you. Lucas is an important asset that we need to keep. If you continue to force me to expel him from this school, I will personally report all your misbehavior to your father." 

Receiving George's unrelenting defense made Jordan realize something. His brother must have interfered in this matter. Otherwise, George wouldn't have defended him this hard. Nonetheless, George must have prioritized Mike's comfort.

Therefore, he decided to speak up. "Mr. George, may I have a word?" he asked in a trembling, determined voice. 

George nodded. "Of course."

Lucas took a deep breath. "Mr. George, this isn't the first time Mike has caused a scene. Every day, he bullied the other students. It makes them feel uncomfortable and scared," he said. His voice grew stronger. "This university is one of the best in the country. Many of its graduates have become influential people. It does not rule out the possibility that someday they will talk. If Mike's behavior is exposed in the future and the university's name is tarnished, how would you handle it?" 

George propped his chin up with his hand, his expression showing that he was carefully considering what Lucas was saying. 

"Do you have any suggestions?" asked George.

He knew Jordan wouldn't have said that if he didn't have something important. 

Lucas took a deep breath. "Mr. George, may I make some suggestions?"

"As long as it's for the betterment of this University, I'll do it," George answered. His expression showed seriousness. 

Lucas nodded slightly. "Okay. I don't think Mike is an outstanding student. All this time, he had only relied on his family. No one knows if the wealth will last forever. Therefore, I think we need to take precautionary measures. Get him out of school before he causes bigger problems."

Mike snorted in disagreement. "Why should I? I have so much money. I can do whatever I want!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with arrogance. 

"How much money do you have now?" Lucas’ voice strengthened. "Who knows if you'll be homeless tomorrow? Besides, the people you bully are high achievers. If we report you to the education department, your family can't do much to protect you either." 

Lucas turned his gaze towards George, his expression serious. "Mr. George, besides expelling Mike, you must fire Mr Jones and report him to the authorities.  He's already embezzled money. Who knows how much harm he has done." 

"You can't do that!" protested Jones. His voice trembled with nervousness. "What embezzlement? Do you have proof?" 

Lucas pointed to Jones' desk. "Proof? There's hard evidence on your desk. The twenty thousand dollar bill you charged me is irrefutable proof."

George heard everything carefully. 

He felt that everything Jordan said made sense. There had been a few things about the university's finances that he thought were odd. Besides, he didn't want to offend the Carter family either.  

George looked at Jordan and nodded slightly. "I will conduct an investigation and process it according to procedure." 

"You can't do that!" shouted Mike. His face flushed with anger. He wouldn't be expelled from this school, or his grandfather would be very angry. "I'll make you regret it!" 

George's expression hardened. "If you're not involved with any offenses, you won't get expelled. But if you do anything out of line, I will not hesitate to expel you from this school."

"You'll see, you'll regret it! And you too, Lucas!" Mike shouted in a threatening tone. He walked out, followed by Jones behind him. 

George breathed a sigh of relief. He walked up to Jordan and greeted him. "Sorry for all the trouble. The Carter family asked me to look after you." 

Lucas smiled. He felt very happy that his brother was helping him. "Thank you, Mr. George. I will tell them that you are a very good person." 

George nodded happily. He was grateful to be on the right side. With this, he was no longer worried about his old age. 

The two exited the room together. At the front of the room, Adam and Ryan were already waiting. 

Before parting, George gave a slight nod to Jordan, which was returned with a smile by Lucas. 

Adam and Ryan rushed over to their friend. "What's the matter?"

"Just a small misunderstanding, but it's all over."
