The next day, Rex became the center of attention on campus because a beautiful girl walked with him. People were not attracted to him initially, but they found him interesting for being close to Dionne.Rex was also close to Chelsea, even though the girl stated she was just playing with his feelings. The men started to wonder how Rex could get the girls’ attention. Did he go to a shaman and ask for a talisman to get their attention?Meanwhile, the girls noticed something about Rex. They ignored the young man because he had a poor background. After watching Rex for some time, they discovered he was pretty handsome.They secretly talked about Rex while watching him walk with the strange girl.“I heard that Rex got a scholarship from the university. Isn’t that amazing? I think smart men have their charm.”“Well, we share brain cells on that one. It doesn’t matter if he’s poor. I have enough money to make him look classier.”“To be honest, I never cared for poor men. But you guys got me a
Rex was waiting for the professor when someone suddenly opened the classroom door. Everyone, including himself, turned to see who had come. The professor could not have arrived at class in that manner.When they realized it was Cesar, they were perplexed. Almost all students recognized him because he was the benefactor’s son. They needed to remember the important people on campus, so their lives did not become chaotic.The angry expression on Cesar’s face showed that he had come to do something terrible. Someone from the business major had apparently offended him. People believed that person could not study in peace on campus.Cesar would do anything to annoy the person he hated, such as ordering the other students to bully them too. Usually, the victims could not stand the bullying and decided to leave the university.Nothing good about Cesar. Everyone wanted to be his friend because they did not want to get in big trouble. They were surprised that someone would still dare to offend
“I want to discuss this problem with the chancellor!” Cesar abruptly spoke up and came to a halt halfway through his walk.Professor Rupert looked panicked because the problem would not end quickly if the chancellor was involved. It once happened when Cesar argued with seniors from the law department. The chancellor found out about that and ruined their campus life.When they wanted to sue the chancellor, Cesar’s father threatened to destroy their family. They had no choice but to keep their mouths shut because Bram, Cesar’s father, was influential in politics.Bram was a member of a major political party in the country. He ran for mayor of Asteria again this year. People believed he would ascend to a superior position after being elected mayor.As a result, they avoided getting into trouble with Bram since the old man had power. He could even make innocent people become corruptors to cover up his crimes.Only certain people knew about Bram’s true nature. Ordinary people thought he wa
Dionne wanted to confirm the truth directly to Rex, but she could not. The class would start in a few minutes. She had to leave the hallway if she did not want to miss class.The girl seemed to be torn between staying or going to her class. The dispute between Rex and Cesar was not over. She was worried something would happen if she left. However, she decided to go to her class in the end.Rex appeared to be able to solve the problem on his own. Even though Dionne had decided to leave, she needed to stay updated with the latest information.“Excuse me. Can I ask you a favor?” Dionne smiled at the man beside her.She did not have girls to talk to because almost everyone in the crowd was men. Only a few girls were interested in the fight.Edmund, the man Dionne was talking to, was silent for a moment. People on campus tended not to want to talk to him because he was tacky and only knew about studying. Hence, he was surprised when Dionne warmly smiled at him.“Sure. May I know what you n
Gaspard was concerned about Cesar’s situation but could not do anything about it. From the start, the wrong one was his friend. He had warned Cesar to stop bothering Rex.Meanwhile, Cesar would refuse Rex’s request because it damaged his dignity. Even though only a few people were in the room, he still would not kiss Rex’s shoes.“His request is so unreasonable, Dad. Why should I kiss his feet if I have already apologized? I’m not going to do that!” Cesar hoped that Bram would take his side this time.However, Bram could not choose his son since this involved his career. He was still nervous because Morris was staring at him, making him feel a stab in his back.“I’m sure Rex has a reason. You better realize what you did wrong! I didn’t raise you to be a delinquent!”Everyone in the room almost laughed because of Bram’s words. They already knew how much he spoiled Cesar. He always used the money to fix the problems created by his son.Today was an unlucky day for Bram because his oppon
Not all students at Struthia University like to gossip. The seniors were very strict with themselves because they came from rich families. They studied hard so they could run their family business. They were different from the juniors, who still liked to play around. However, the seniors, who rarely gossip, were interested in talking about Rex. They had heard of his name ever since he was the victim of poisoning in the dining hall.His name also became famous because he was close to Chelsea and Dionne. But still, the seniors did not care because they focused on their studies. They never thought they would be interested in gossip.“Does that junior know Sir Morris of the Quillon family?”“Yes, I can guarantee it. My juniors in the business department even sent me a picture of Sir Morris. Almost all the juniors know of the troubles that went on between Rex and Cesar.”“Woah, this is crazy! I’m sure he does know Sir Morris because he got away from Mayor Bram.”“What’s even more exciting
The business major had one more class left, while the law major had already finished. Dionne waited for Rex even though she knew the class would end in an hour.The girl wanted to meet him just to confirm the truth about the masked man. She had no other intentions toward Rex. The arranged marriage forced her to stop approaching her male friends.Despite this, Dionne continued to see Rex because she wanted to return the favor. The young man had helped her when the thugs bothered her. She also wanted to thank him for the last time.While Dionne was busy with her thoughts, a man suddenly sat beside her. She turned and almost screamed when she saw Lennart. Gossip about him had been spreading since lunch break.Now the students were talking about three things. The first was about Dionne’s family, the second was about Morris knew Rex, and the last one was about Lennart, who beat Julio up.“Why are you making a face like you just saw a ghost?” Lennart raised his eyebrows at Dionne’s shocked
Aindrea’s new business was related to smuggling illegal immigrants from Histrio. Most of those immigrants were criminals who had difficulty getting jobs. The government regulated the job requirements so strictly that certain criminals could not work at their whim.As a result, they became illegal immigrants and lived in other countries to get jobs. The organization that channeled those immigrants was The Lightning Killer.Aindrea partnered with The Lightning Killer after his business was destroyed by the Quillon family. He would supply the ship while his partner looked for immigrants.They sent those immigrants by ship. If their actions were found out by the police, the immigrants would be arrested. But they need not worry about that.The Devastating Blow already had connections with several police officers, so the ships could sail. The business this time was very risky. Nevertheless, it made a lot of money.“The immigrants have gathered. When will the ship sail?” Ilario, the leader o
