2024-10-29 19:42:56In all of his school days, there had never been a time when Demetrius had truly stood out like this, which in any sense was negative.
Mrs. Gardner just said nonchalantly: “Didn't he have a student before he moved here? There are no exceptions.”
As soon as her voice ended, the murmurs began again.
“So pitiful.”
“Morrow doesn't need to clean the classroom anymore! Congratulations on breaking your twenty-two-day record!”
Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing, leading many other students to laugh as well.
"Stop it! Even without him, I wouldn't be sweeping today!" The boy with curly hair snorted coldly and said to the boy sitting at his desk.
“How long do you think Finlay's brother will set the record?”
“I bet at least six months. How can the boy in the countryside get a good education?"
“Is that too pitiful?”
"Why don't you think we won't have to worry about biology anymore?"
“You’re right! Why didn't I think of that?"
For rich students, the punishment they fear the most is cleaning. These have never had to deal with household chores.
It's just that the background of this biology teacher is not average, so none of the students dared to protest.
Finlay is the class president so he is in charge of handing out the exam papers, when he got to Demetrius' desk, he stopped to the right of Demetrius, but instead of putting the exam paper on Demetrius's desk, he passed it to the person sitting on the left by Demetrius.
"What do you mean?" Demetrius frowned.
"It doesn't make any difference whether the test is given to you or not."
“How do I test that has anything to do with you?”
“The problem is that there aren't enough exams for you. You just moved in, so Mrs. Gardner wasn't ready yet." Finlay laughed.
Others also agreed.
“That's right, Demetrius. Leave the exam papers to someone more deserving.”
The teacher noticed the quarrel in Demetrius's place. She raised her eyebrows and said:
“Who said I wasn't prepared? I knew, of course, that there would be a new student here today. Finlay, hurry up and hand out your exam paper, don't be a laggard."
Finlay immediately blushed to hear that, he didn't count the remaining exams so he didn't expect this case. With no other choice, Finlay could only hand out the exam papers to Demetrius.
"Anyway, I'll stay in class with you, sorry," Finlay spoke as if wanting to save his face.
"Do not need," Demetrius said. "I won't stay on duty."
“That's the rule, Demetrius. Like it or not, whoever gets the lowest score will have to stay last.” Finlay said with a smile.
"That's right, Demetrius, there's no exception, let alone you don't have any honor."
Others in the class thought that Demetrius didn't do it because of honor.
“You must have gotten used to something like this before, right? Why are you posing like that now?”
"No wonder I don't look at him with any sympathy at all, indeed, country people often think they are superior."
"What if I'm not the last one?" Demetrius couldn't help but speak up.
“Then I will sweep the classroom today.” Finlay raised an eyebrow. "And if the last one is you, what do you think?"
"I'll sweep the class from here until you go to college," Demetrius said calmly. “And if I'm better than you, you'll have to sweep all three years of high school, too. Is that okay?”
Everyone in the class gasped. They were excited to watch this conversation because Finlay had never been last in biology before, so he never had to stay in cleaning the class.
Finlay suddenly thought back to Demetrius' piano playing yesterday and it made him hesitate a bit, however, there was no reason why a country kid like Demetrius could beat him, he was always at the top of his class, and he was very confident.
"Okay." Finlay thought that this time he had to crush Demetrius so that he would no longer dare to brag in front of him.
Testing time begins.
Demetrius turned to the front page of the exam paper, the tip of his pen leisurely tracing the multiple-choice questions. The first few sentences were cognitive questions, so in general Demetrius' speed was no different from that of his classmates.
However, later on, with more difficult questions, Demetrius's speed of circling answers remained the same, only compared to other classmates, he became prominent, looking like he was circling indiscriminately.
On a 50-minute test, by the 34th minute, Demetrius had put down his pen.
Finlay is only half done now, looking at Demetrius, he can't help but laugh: "There are people who never know where they are standing."
It is very clear that Demetrius is haphazard, the last question is completely impossible to do, so he gave up like that.
The others were initially excited about the bet between Demetrius and Finlay, but when they saw Demetrius like that, they lost interest.
Professor Gardner's exam was both long and difficult, and there was no reason to finish it so soon. The results already seem obvious.

The Abandoned Son The inheritance
"Time for the test is over." Mrs. Gardner spoke up. “Everybody put down your pens. Finlay collects the exam papers.”Many groaned because they did not finish all the questions in time. Finlay had just finished his last sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled smugly and turned his head to look at Demetrius.Demetrius drooped his eyes at the desk, looking like he just didn't do well on a test.Because all the questions are multiple-choice, the grading is also quite fast. As soon as the papers are collected, Mrs. Gardner starts grading the papers. When Finlay saw Mrs. Gardner about to take the top sheet of the papers, he said:"Mrs. Gardner, could you grade my and Demetrius' exam first?"It was obvious that Finlay wanted Demetrius to be humiliated as quickly as possible.Mrs. Gardner glanced at Finlay for a few seconds, then nodded as well and selected Finlay and Demetrius's papers from the stack of papers.Finlay's request was not unreasonable, and it was clear that the whol
The Abandoned Son Who's the heir?
A few minutes later, a car drove up to Demetrius. The driver carries Demetrius to a tall building designed to stand out.As soon as Demetrius entered the lobby, he was overwhelmed by the luxurious design; the massive scale destroyed Mr Kirk Hoffman's villa.A middle-aged man in a black suit saw Demetrius enter, quickly got up from the sofa, and walked over to Demetrius, speaking very politely: "Young master. Nice to meet you.""You were the one who gave me the call just now?"Demetrius asked."That's right, young master, I'm Maxwell Duncan!" Maxwell Duncan laughed and said.Maxwell Duncan then led Demetrius into the elevator and pressed on the 25th floor.Demetrius asked, "Can you explain to me about inheritance?""You just go into the meeting room; then you'll understand everything." Maxwell Duncan replied with a smile.When he stepped out of the elevator, Demetrius realized that this whole floor was for offices. The level of luxury and art has been pushed to the highest level.Demet
The Abandoned Son Changed his attitude
Demetrius had just finished taking a shower when someone knocked on his door. It was now 8 pm. After announcing the inheritance, Demetrius went home with Finlay in a car. It was rare that Finlay hadn't provoked Demetrius, nor was Demetrius in the mood to guess what he was thinking. When he saw that the knocker was Mrs Gallagher, Demetrius was slightly surprised, then asked, "Mom?" Mrs Gallagher entered the room and closed the door, saying, "Can I talk to you for a few minutes?" Demetrius paused in his act of wiping his hair, "Sure." The light in the room was not too bright, Demetrius was dressed in clean pyjamas, but they couldn't hide his thin body.Mrs Gallagher hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth, "Demetrius, I hope you don't misunderstand what Finlay means." She recalled that the night before Demetrius returned, Fabian had told her, "You must treat Demetrius well. Children who grow up in such difficult circumstances are prone to depression. If I had to go throu
The Abandoned Son I cheated
Keagan Stephens stepped back up to the podium, slammed his hand on the board, and spoke sternly, "I'll give you one minute. If someone wants to confess, they can copy the test three times and receive a zero. Otherwise, I'll be checking the camera footage, and the consequences will be much worse."Everyone in the class remained silent, and Keagan Stephens asked, "Still no confessions?"Raina Roberson pointed to a few students sitting near her and said, "Mr Stephens, you should check the people sitting next to me."Keagan Stephens looked at the papers in his hand, scanned the faces of a few students, and then stopped at one table."Kai, why are you staring at that table? Got a headache or something?""Stephens, it was me," Kai Cunningham kept his head down, stammering. "I threw the paper."Keagan Stephens was taken aback by Kai's admission because he was a model student. His teachers were very sympathetic to him. Despite not having a wealthy family background, Kai had entered the school
The Abandoned Son You're a self-taught genius
The classroom was tense as the students awaited the results of Demetrius' test. Keagan Stephens held the papers in his hand with a sarcastic grin."You can ask a person to take my test paper to check with those two people to see if I asked them to help me cheat," Demetrius said, his voice confident.Keagan Stephens's grin faded, replaced by a skeptical look. "Because you're afraid of being caught cheating, you'll probably write it differently on purpose, so there's no match," he said. "Alexander, give me your test."Macey Perkins took on the task of matching the answers. "The last question on Kai Cunningham's test got it wrong. Demetrius got it right," she announced loudly. "Furthermore, in the first few questions of the Alexander Rosa test, five answers are not the same as Demetrius."Alexander Rosa fidgeted in his seat, clearly uncomfortable. "Write something else on purpose, or Keagan will know it by looking at it," he said, a hint of fear in his voice.But Macey still needed to be
The Abandoned Son Did they treat your well?
It was a quiet night, and both Demetrius and Finlay had returned home from their daily routines. While Finlay was eager to talk to Demetrius about something important, Demetrius was feeling exhausted and just wanted to go to bed. "Demetrius, we need to talk," Finlay said in a serious tone, "It's about your education and future." "Can't it wait until tomorrow?" Demetrius asked, rubbing his tired eyes. "No, it can't," Finlay replied, "This is a critical matter that cannot be delayed." As they were speaking, their father, Kirk Hoffman, who was working in his work, overheard their conversation and stepped out to see what was going on. Finlay continued, "I've heard that you've been placed in the F class, the lowest class at school. This is not acceptable. Your mother and father worked hard to get you into Class A, and now you're in Class F. How will you be able to keep up with the college entrance exams?" Kirk Hoffman listened to Finlay's words with a mix of shock and anger. He couldn
The Abandoned Son Respect others
"Normal," Demetrius replied in a monotone voice, betraying the fact that the topic was a sensitive one for him. It seemed that no matter how good or bad others treated him, he did not show any particular reaction, as if he were a robot programmed to keep his emotions in check. As they were nearing the school, Demetrius suddenly spoke up. "Can you drop me off at the bank?" he asked. Macey looked at him quizzically. "The bank? What do you need to do there?" she asked. "Just some work," Demetrius replied evasively, not giving any further explanation. "Okay, no problem. I'll drop you off there," she said, she decided not to push the matter. As they pulled up to the curb, Demetrius quickly got out of the car without looking back to say goodbye. It seemed as though Demetrius didn't want any more contact with her, and that even going to school with her was a reason why he wanted to get out of the car halfway. Macey couldn't help but wonder what was going on with Demetrius. Despite his s

"Hey Demetrius," Kai Cunningham said as he saw Demetrius continuing with his class, "I just wanted to apologize for what I did earlier." However, Demetrius didn't react and simply went around Kai to continue his class. Kai felt surprised as he saw that Demetrius gave no response to his apology. He had been worried about the potential consequences of his earlier behavior and had been bracing himself for a negative reaction. However, when Demetrius didn't react, Kai felt a sense of relief and relaxation because he hadn't originally expected Demetrius to forgive him. As Alexander Rosa approached Kai from behind, Kai noticed him looking annoyed. "Demetrius is really misbehaving," Alexander said, "he always seems to make people feel disgusted." "You're the one misbehaving, not him," Kai thought. After this thought, Kai decided to leave the conversation and walked away, leaving Alexander alone. Alexander Rosa looked disdainfully at the door of Class F, then raised his middle finger tow

The crowd followed Hank's outstretched finger with raised eyebrows, their gaze directed towards the indicated spot. Over the trees, the highway, and under the clear blue sky, a single distinct object stood out - a Ferris wheel. Joziah furrowed his brow in confusion and turned to Hank, questioning, "A Ferris wheel? Are you certain?" Demetrius took a moment to consider and then spoke, "That's the direction of the amusement park. It's where we investigated that historical institute earlier." Ramiro joined the conversation, adding, "Is it the haunted Historical Institute where the Wife and Daughter painting is located?" A faint smile appeared on the corners of Hank's lips as he affirmed, "Exactly." As the leader, Joziah arranged for the SWAT team to escort the arrested individuals to the police station, while the rest of the group opted for a lighter approach, traveling together towards the amusement park. Hank signaled the car to halt in front of the gates of the Institute of Histor

Take aim
When Ben saw that the shot missed, Donte Wagner, who was next to him, pulled out a gun as well, and Ben suddenly turned his face and fired a shot at Demetrius. Hank rubbed his chin, "Told Lennon was premarital phobic." In the following days, the S City Police Department, under the personal command of Bureau Ignacio, uncovered all the personnel Worf had planted within the department as well as at the police academy, and Interpol's side of the battle was thoroughly cleared of Worf's encroachment. This battle was fought beautifully. However, before the SCI people can enjoy the joy of solving the case, there is another arduous task waiting for them, turning to Denmark to attend Broderick and Lennon's wedding. Lennon nodded, "Well, willing, aren't you?" "In the two rooms next door to big brother's new house." Gonzales smothered a laugh, "We set it up just as there was more than enough material." The car drove away slowly. Broderick was tossed out too, "So what else? I've told you that

The crowd shook their heads, these so-called cultivators were black-hearted and black-handed, and this time they did not know how many seedlings had been poisoned.Donte Wagner, seeing that there was nothing else going on left or right, was ready to go back to setting up as well, and on his way out the door, suddenly turned back to Hank and said, "By the way genius, there's one place where you're wrong.""You guys want it!" Ramiro said, "Then if anyone wants to catch Demi in the future, won't they just use a net gun and an electric baton?"The three students were speechless, thinking about how hasty the decision had been.Hank smiled slightly, "The whole point of taming animals is that these beasts are harmless most of the time, and will only attack if you tell them to."Three days later, Mason's place got the shocking news that a total of a dozen or so werewolves had been captured, as well as several small raiding parties of Worf's that had come to steal the medicine."What about res

The crowd listened as he continued on.All three students nodded after looking at each other.Franklin Estes stared at the principal with some surprise for half a second, turned his face to Hank, and the crowd, though they had heard Ben say that the principal and Worf were having an affair, had no definite proof of it, so how was it that the man had been brought in?"And how is that going to be touched?" Franklin Estes wondered, just as he saw Hanks Walters reach up and gently stroke his hand across his neck, then down his chest... Slowly down, brushing his ribs in what seemed to be a tickle... The magician's long, dexterous fingers made Franklin Estes itchy and uncomfortable beyond words.Hank was also drinking a cup of hot chocolate, probably because he and Demetrius had rolled around on the bathroom floor in the hotel and cleaned up half a day, and then slept on top of the half-full waterbed when he was tired, and Hank came back with a stomach bug, and Demetrius felt guilty for bei

Waterbed
"You're here for Worf?" Broderick could see that Demetrius and Hank didn't seem to appreciate Donte Wagner much as a person, but it was no wonder; Donte Wagner had an unusually cruel temperament, so most people didn't like him.When the two were out the door, they saw Franklin Estes hurrying down the stairs and looking out, they saw Donte Wagner invite Hanks Walters into the back seat of the car and follow him himself, Franklin Estes's face instantly stank, and after a moment's thought, he walked over to Broderick and said: "Um... Brother, lend me a car."Hank shook his head and said, "It's not so much about using the werewolf to solve the problem violently as it is about using counter-theories and counter-suggestions to achieve chaos within Worf, and as long as he's out of the fight, it'll be much simpler to tackle Worf alone."Franklin Estes' mouth deflated, wrapping her arms around Anne Fleming next to her to figure it out, muttering darkly...

"This case is extremely involved." Ben said, "He wants Trenton Ingram for the same reason.""In the beginning, I had a spring in my step, and for those three years, I put all my passion into my work, performed well in the police department, and because of my excellence, I was transferred to the anti-terrorist unit... To work in a job that is more contributing to humanity."Without waiting for the yacht to dock, Hank and the others took Demetrius back to the villa by plane first, while the rest of the SCI waited until they reached the shore and escorted Ben back with Mason Janessa Woodard.Demetrius looked at him for a moment, "Go ahead then.""Shut up!" Ramiro gave him a hard one and locked him in the room with Van, and Ramiro took the tape and sealed his mouth shut so he wouldn't say any more of those exasperating things.Ben flinched slightly and didn't make a sound."No." Hank shook his head, "Would suspect the three missing students were doing the publicity stunt...

The electricity is weak
Demetrius had recovered a little by now, and looking at the furious Ben on top of him, his mind flew to plan, the only strength he had left now was only enough to make one retaliatory strike, which could be to kick him away, but he'd surely use the electricity again, and to be honest, if he took another one, he'd be completely defenseless. Another, would be to just strangle him with a chain... As he was thinking, Demetrius suddenly heard footsteps coming from the doorway.Trenton Ingram, watching from the doorway, suddenly got red in the eyes, turned angrily and walked out, just in time to see Franklin Estes, who was waiting curiously at the doorway, and suddenly lifted his foot and stamped on him.Trenton Ingram looked at Hank dumbfounded, "Going to what?"Hank nodded and said lightly, "Yeah, I'll make sure you have a good time this time."Franklin Estes was a little worried, but he saw Hanks Walters give him a gentle wave of his hand, signaling him to stay out of the way, and after

At that moment, Hank also heard the sound of the car's engine coming from far behind him, and Demetrius got out of the car and told the driver, "Drive!""The plane stopped." Hanksha said, "It hasn't moved again."Demetrius slowly turned around to see the man who had walked in, a momentary daze, "Ben?"Just as the twins' car was about to arrive, there was a sudden "buzzing" sound, followed by a loud wind, and Demetrius turned around to see a helicopter flying up behind him."Heh..." Trenton Ingram reached out to pat it on the head, and Anne Fleming rubbed against him before turning and running into the room to find Franklin Estes and Hank.Several people exit the elevator and arrive in the casino, just to see that the four walls have been burned to the ground, but you can still vaguely see the wild scene from last night.Hank slowly steps into the casino, observing the surroundings."What?!"

Hank laughed and shook his head, putting the walkie-talkie down."Chief, those three came in, one went up the stairs from you, one went up the second floor from the back, and one went to the living room with the three killers.""There's something strange about these guys." Lennon stared at the screen and frowned slightly, "The way they act, they feel like special forces, but the costumes are homemade, something like terrorists."Hank frowns slightly at Trenton Ingram.The car had just arrived at the estate when they heard a gust of wind and the sound of propellers in the air, Demetrius and Hank got out of the car and looked up to see a helicopter slowly parked on top of the tarmac in the center of the yard, little Hassan ran over joyfully and threw his arms around Hank's legs shouting, "Hank!"At that moment,Lennon came down from the second floor,Trenton Ingram looked up at him and smiled slightly.Lennon also looked at him,and then looked at the crowd of SCI,a little powerless,the atm
