Chapter 8: Chapter 8 You are a Moron (Part 2)

 

“Well… of course.” Sharp James hesitated for a moment before he nodded directly. After all, it was an apparent fact that the money originally belonged to Finn Lewis. They had believed in their hearts from the beginning that the money was rightfully Finn’s, otherwise, they would have already gone to help Cora Franklin retrieve the money, as she suggested. Why on earth would they need to consult Finn?

“Hmm, give me as much money as can be found, and if any is missing, it’s okay,” Finn nodded and said.

“Wait a moment! Finn, you’re brutal! I have seen through you completely. But do you think you can just walk away with the money? Director Samuel, as police officers, you should take my case when I report it, right? I report, this money Finn has is completely illegal earnings. I am Finn’s ex-girlfriend, and I know very well what he’s like. His family is dirt poor, and he himself is just a poor grass, still working in a restaurant three days ago. How can he suddenly afford two million?” Cora, with her eyes red, ranted hysterically at Sharp James.

“Finn, given the present situation, if you could clarify the source of the money, it would be better. Otherwise, we have the right to scrutinize it,” Sharp James hesitantly proposed.

If Cora had not said this, to avoid trouble, James would rather not dig into where the money came from. James was also suspicious of the legitimacy of Finn’s money since he expressed his doubts.

No choice. An ordinary rural child, who has always worked diligently at school for three years, after his ex-girlfriend moved into another man’s arms, pulls out two million in just two or three days. Any ordinary person could see there was a problem with the money.

“Finn, you’d better tell us, if you can. Business secrets should never land you in a police station,” Mr. Wood, standing by, chimed in.

“Mr. Wood, don’t worry. I indeed don’t want to say anything about it. I’m curious about what they can do to me.” Finn chuckled coldly.

“You, kid! Why are you stubborn with the officers? Why not clarify everything and end this?” Mr. Wood became a little anxious.

“Director Thomp, you are the department head. Don’t you think a matter of such severity that occurred in our department should be investigated thoroughly? Although I’m not directly involved, I’m Cora’s boyfriend now. While this incident might not necessarily break the law, it does carry some moral implications? Moreover, even if the source of his cash is legitimate, does it mean he can throw money at someone else? Isn’t that an insult to a person’s dignity? Cora split up with him upon seeing the troubles with his morals. I still think we had better look into such students with problematic morals. Imagine the kind of scandal it would be if the truth comes out. It would disgrace our school,” Yuri Lucas broke out suddenly by the side.

“Lucas, you have a point. Finn! I warn you now, clear things up quickly, or else I’ll have to alert the school. Then punishment will not be as simple!” Robert Thomp slammed the table and said to Finn.

Finn was almost infuriated to death. Damn it! So are you saying I’m not allowed to make money?

“According to the data I’ve processed, arguing with them wouldn’t make much difference to you. Because that dude named Robert Thomp has already accepted a million in Flame Nation coins as a bribe from a man named Yuri Lucas, with the aim of driving you out of the university,” a cold voice suddenly came up in Finn’s mind, startling him.

However, after coming to his senses, Finn noticed that people around seemed as though they had turned a deaf ear to Zero’s words. He was the only that could perceive the voice. Finn had always thought that although he couldn’t see Zero’s voice, everyone could hear what Zero said. But it appeared that wasn’t the case. However, what Zero said quickly left Finn stunned.

But for everyone else, Finn’s expression clearly seemed to be a sign of fear for the ongoing situation. A look of triumph immediately surfaced on Yuri Lucas’s face.

“Hehe, Finn, you’d better spit it out quickly. How did you get this money? As your high school classmate, don’t you think I know you well enough? Back in high school, you only managed to graduate because the school exempted some of your tuition fees. It was difficult for you to make it into university. Please don’t make it impossible for yourself to graduate because of trivial matters like this,” said Lucas, picking up where Robert left off, smilingly.

“Hahaha…” Finn burst into laughter and said bluntly, “Lucas, don’t think too highly of yourself. How much difference would it make even if you join forces with Robert Thomp? How much did it cost you to bribe Robert Thomp? You are really risking your life in…”

“Finn! Shut up! You, you, you… don’t you have the demeanor of a university student?! Don’t you have a teacher?! You did wrong, yet you shift the blame onto others?” Robert Thomp interrupted Finn furiously.

“Shut the fuck up, Robert! I’ve long wanted to give you a piece of my mind. Just because no one knows about the trash you’ve been up to doesn’t excuse you. How many women have had to sleep with you so that their graduation wouldn’t be deferred? How many aren’t aware of your disgusting repute in our whole college?! Fucking hell! If you hadn’t accepted bribe from Lucas, I would take my name in vain.” Zero’s words enraged Finn, who vented everything he had stored up in his heart.

Everyone may have only heard rumors about Robert, but Finn was all too aware of his vile deeds. A sister from his hometown, who graduated last year, was mistreated by Robert because of a problem with her diploma. That sister drank with Finn for three straight days before crying her way home with her diploma. She initially wanted to stay in the city.

Robert’s office was located inside the school building. And students would occasionally walk down the corridor outside. Finn’s altercation with the others was overheard by a few of the students walking by. Curiosity arose over what was happening inside the office, especially when they heard Finn’s name. The incident yesterday; someone posted the entire video on F university’s forum.

These students naturally knew who Finn was. Upon hearing Finn’s name, one of the students immediately took out their cell phone and secretly recorded the incident through the window. When Finn’s audacious and explosive remarks came out, the fellas outside were startled, “Holy shit, this dude is dope! Fucking hell! No one in the whole F University dares to openly scold Robert!”

Robert’s face turned purplish. Finn’s tirade almost made him choke with anger. If the room had not been full of people, Robert would have liked nothing more than to rush over and kick Finn to death on the spot.

Cora and Lucas on one side were also startled. Of course, they knew about Robert’s reputation. Still, that was precisely why Lucas dared to offer Robert a bribe. If he hadn’t known about Robert, Lucas wouldn’t have had the guts to bribe just anyone either! Shortly after, however, Cora and Lucas’ faces reddened with excitement. Damn Finn, you only have yourself to blame!

“Mr. Wood! Is this a good student you bring up? Now I will immediately report to the school to expel you! We, at F University, do not need students like you!” Robert was evidently driven crazy by Finn.

“Director Samuel, we have said all we had to. Given the character of such a student, we do not hold any expectations as to how he got the money. But since there was such an incident, we hope you can investigate it thoroughly,” Robert turned to Sharp James and concluded.
