The Pauper Who Ruled the Campus
Marcus Griffin was nothing but a joke at Elite-Star University.
A poor scholarship student forced to scrub floors, run errands, and bow his head to billionaire heirs, campus royalty, and the daughter of a feared professor. He endured every insult for one reason—survival. Even the girl he loved treated him like a stepping stone to something better.
Then, in a single day, everything was taken from him.
Public betrayal. Public humiliation. His girlfriend accepted another man’s proposal in front of the entire class. His scholarship was revoked. His expulsion announced. His life erased.
But as Marcus ran with nothing left to lose, the truth found him.
He was never poor.
He was never weak.
He was the sole heir to the Griffin Empire—a hidden power controlling unimaginable wealth, corporations, and global influence. With one phone call, fortunes shifted. With one card, rules were rewritten.
Marcus returned to campus quietly… patiently.
Let them mock him again.
Let them underestimate him.
Behind the scenes, he dismantled empires, exposed corruption, ruined billionaires, and turned enemies into kneeling wrecks. From boardrooms to car shows, from classrooms to global markets, his revenge was precise, merciless, and absolute.
They laughed at a pauper.
They created a ruler.

Chapter: Chapter 13The school campus buzzed with life as students hurried in every direction. Groups lounged under the trees, scrolling through their phones, laughing at videos, or gossiping about the latest drama. But inside the quiet classroom, Marcus sat alone at the back, his head buried in his notebook. He was trying desperately to make sense of the complex formulas Professor Frost had thrown at them before the break. The man was ruthless. Everyone knew it. Professor Frost was not just strict; he was wicked. One wrong answer, one late submission, and you could find yourself on the verge of expulsion. Most students feared him like death itself. A few who had dared challenge him had already packed their bags and left the university for good.Marcus flipped page after page, his brow furrowed in concentration. He could not afford to fail this course. Not again. Professor Frost already disliked him for reasons Marcus could never quite understand. Maybe it was the way he asked questions in class, or perh

Chapter: Chapter 12:Marcus lowered the phone slowly after his grandfather’s words faded from the line. The black SUV hummed beneath him, the city lights streaking past the tinted windows. Mr. Jack glanced at him in the rearview mirror.“What did he say, Young Master?”“He wants me at the Empire. Now.”Mr. Jack nodded once. “Understood.”Within minutes, the road ahead filled with headlights. A convoy of sleek black Mercedes-Benz vehicles appeared, pulling up in perfect formation. Engines purred like distant thunder. The lead car slowed, doors opening in unison. Men in dark suits stepped out, saluting sharply.Mr. Jack brought the SUV to a stop. He turned to Marcus.“I am sorry for everything you endured today, Young Master. It will not happen again.”He saluted deeply, then drove off into the night.Marcus stepped out. The white Mercedes in the center of the convoy waited, door held open by a silent driver. He slid inside. The door closed with a soft, expensive thud. The convoy moved as one, gliding throu

Chapter: Chapter 11Marcus slipped the phone back into his pocket as Emmanuel’s call ended. The taxi driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror.“Campus, right? Which gate?”“Main entrance,” Marcus said. “And hurry.”The driver nodded and pressed the accelerator. The city blurred past the windows, but Marcus’s mind raced faster. Professor Frost was looking for him. That never ended well. Yet after everything—the fundraiser, the Galaxy Corporation, the black card—fear felt distant, almost foreign.The taxi pulled up at the campus entrance. Marcus handed over more than enough cash. “Keep the change.”The driver’s eyes widened. “Thanks, boss!”Marcus was already moving, legs carrying him across the quad. Students stared as he passed. Whispers followed. Some pointed. He ignored them and headed straight for the lecture hall.The room was empty when he arrived. Chairs pushed back. Chalk dust still floating in the air. Professor Frost had already left.Marcus exhaled, shoulders dropping slightly. Maybe the da

He opened the taxi door and slid inside, his movements swift and urgent.“To campus,” he said firmly.The driver nodded and drove off immediately.Marcus sat back, his mind racing. Professor Frost was looking for him. That alone was enough to make most students panic. But Marcus had already faced worse in a single day. Whatever awaited him now, he would face it head-on.When the taxi stopped at the campus entrance, Marcus pushed the door open before the driver could even speak.“Keep the change,” he said as he stepped out and shut the door.The driver stared at him in surprise as Marcus took off at a hurried pace, heading straight for his faculty building.By the time he reached his classroom, he realized he was already late.The room was empty.His heart sank slightly.

Chapter: Chapter 8: The Crown RevealedAfter they threw Marcus out of the gate, he stood still for a moment, his chest rising and falling slowly. The laughter from the security and Frank still echoed faintly in his ears, but his expression did not change. Calmly, he reached into his pocket and brought out his phone.He scrolled through his contacts and placed a call.The line connected almost immediately.“Yes, this is Marcus,” he said quietly. “I am outside the Galaxy Corporation.”There was a sharp intake of breath on the other end.“Outside?” the woman asked anxiously. “Please stay where you are.”The call ended abruptly.Within a few minutes, the sound of speeding cars broke the calm outside the gate. A sleek black car pulled up sharply, followed closely by another vehicle filled with private security. The car door opened, and a woman stepped out in a rush.She was the manager of the Galaxy Corporation.Ignoring the shocked looks of passersby, she ran toward Marcus as fast as her heels would allow.
