The three men in the room turned their heads toward the door. All three had the same expression, that of surprise. However, the most surprised person here was Jones.

The well-dressed man who had just entered the room was George, the college's chancellor. A few minutes ago, someone from the mysterious Carter family contacted him. Their party requested that George give preferential treatment to a certain student who was under the protection of the Carter family. 

Without hesitation, George immediately agreed. Based on the information that the Carter family provided, the person was in the category of outstanding students, so protecting him was not a difficult thing. 

Although George had the authority to involve more people in protecting this particular student, he chose to do it directly and save time. 

He contacted Jones faster than anyone else because Jones was the most suitable person to do so. Arriving in front of Jones' room, the commotion caught his attention. 

"What's the matter, Mr. Jones?" asked George. 

Jones, who was still stunned, was silent for a moment. George called Jones again but in a louder voice. "Mr. Jones, can you hear me?" 

With a voice that trembled with nervousness, Jones replied, "Ah, yes. Mr. George, it's just a small problem that can be solved internally."

On the other hand, George closed the door and approached them. "What's such a small matter to cause such a commotion?" 

Jones looked down, not confident. George is not an arrogant person, so something like this could anger him, and Jones didn't want that to happen. However, given the reputation of Mike's family, Jones regained his confidence. 

"Mr. Jones...." George said. 

Nervously, Jones said, his voice trembling slightly. His eyes didn't dare to look at George either. "Really, it's not a big deal." 

Calmly, George said. "Tell me the truth, or I'll find out the truth myself."  

 His charismatic demeanor made his words seem hypnotizing. 

Jones pointed at Lucas and said, "This student made a scene during lunchtime. As per procedure, I brought him to this place." 

It was like Mike was putting kindling into a raging fire. She chimed in. "That's right, Mr. George. I witnessed it myself. He made a very disturbing noise."

"A ruckus? What commotion?" Lucas tried to defend himself. 

Mike looked sarcastically at Lucas. "You know, you're making the campus very chaotic."

Mike pointed at Lucas while glaring at George. "He even dared to attempt a beating." 

George knew Mike's background. Besides being a businessman, they were also one of the main investors of this university. He had to consider his comfort and satisfaction. 

He gave Jones a sharp look. "Mr. Jones, you let something like this happen?" 

Jones shook his head, worried by George's anger. "I will not allow it. I am also working on his dismissal from the college."

George nodded. This kind of thing should not be tolerated in this institution. "Get it done quickly. I don't want this place to become a mess." 

Jones nodded. Agreed. "Mr. George, don't worry. Once we cancel his scholarship, we can solve it easily." 

"Scholarship?" George frowned, feeling astonished. In this place, not many people get scholarships.

Jones was silent, realizing his mistake. But in the end, he nodded and explained the situation a little. "He received a full scholarship from the government. I don't know what he did to get this scholarship." 

George's curiosity was peaked. Full scholarships were usually only awarded to outstanding students with exceptional potential. Their university is known to have strict admission standards. 

"Mr. Jones, you should know that receiving a full scholarship shows that the student has great potential. I hope you solve this problem properly."

Jones was silent for a moment, pondering George's warning. He realized that this was a serious matter and should be handled with care. 

"I understand, Mr. George. I will conduct further investigations and ensure this matter is resolved accordingly."

"Mr. Chancellor, let me express my opinion." Lucas, who had been silent, now spoke. 

George nodded. It's not right if he only hears opinions from Jones and Mike. "Of course, you have the right to speak." 

Lucas nodded, calm and confident. "I am one of the students who received a full scholarship from the government. In the letter I received from the education department and this University, I am exempt from all fees." 

George nodded, knowing about this provision. Besides being able to attend school for free, they could also get job recommendations after graduation. 

"Today, I did cause a bit of inconvenience, but there is nothing in the letter that says this scholarship can be canceled." 

George nodded again. There were only a few reasons for canceling the scholarship, such as being involved in a serious crime.

"Mr. Jones called me and asked for $20,000." Lucas continues. "Strangely enough, when I wanted to pay it, he refused."

"There's no such rule in this place," George says. He was furious at what Jones had done. As a chancellor, this was outrageous.

Lucas remained calm and continued. "Besides, if I want to continue my scholarship, they ask me to kowtow to Mike. What kind of rule is this?" 

The nervous Jones immediately shouted, trying to interrupt Lucas. "Lying! He's lying! I never said that!"

Lucas averted his eyes, glaring at Jones sharply. "You never said that, or was it me who didn't hear it?" 

"Enough! I'm still here, and you're fighting like children," George said, intrigued by Lucas. The young man was straightforward and remained calm even when dealing with him. In addition, Mike and Jones also indirectly continued to intimidate him. "I want to see your ID."

Lucas nodded. "Of course, sir."

 He took out his student ID and gave it to George. 

When George checked Lucas's name and ID number, he was surprised. The young man before him was the person the Carter family was referring to. However, he also discovered another fact about this young man.

Without hesitation, George immediately greeted Lucas, and his demeanor turned very friendly. "Are you Lucas, the student who made an important breakthrough last year for our university?"

He didn't want to mention the Carter family before Mike and Jones, so he brought up Lucas's other great achievement. 

Lucas smiled, "it's nothing, Mr. George. By the way, do I have to kowtow to Mike to continue my scholarship?"

George shook his head. He was feeling very enthusiastic. Beyond his identity as someone the Carter family protected, he admired this young man in front of him. "You are a valuable asset that we should support. There is no charge whatsoever. Make the most of these facilities and keep discovering new things."

    After killing off the people who were after the Carter family's estate, Lucas and his men continued the search for the estate.Through the information he had gathered, including information from the people investigating his family, he managed to get a clearer trace of the place's location.One of the men he had mobilized in the search came running out of a long hallway with a smiling face. He seemed eager to approach Lucas. "Master..." he stood with a slight bow, catching his ragged breath so he could speak more clearly. "We found him."That sentence set Lucas and the rest of the team, who were accompanying Lucas, into motion. "Show me, " he commanded the man.The man immediately nodded his head; he turned his steps around and led them into the hallway, which was quite long.The fast-paced, almost running footsteps echoed, making a great deal of noise before finally ceasing to be silent as they reached the boundary of the passage, standing at a large cave door."Oh my..." the word cam

    Two days have passed since that day. Of those who encountered resistance in the main building where they carried out the mission, only some survived. At the same time, the rest were bloodied to death by Lucas, who killed them immediately without waiting for any explanation.Now, the rest of the people who led the mission are hiding in their headquarters, which is located deep in the countryside and away from residential areas. They were hiding for a good reason; they knew how influential Lucas was and how capable he was of discovering the whereabouts of their base."So what do we do?" A man sitting in the corner of the room stared intently in the direction where his colleagues were sitting. From the tone of his voice, he sounded getting impatient.What they had planned had gone far from what they had prepared. The calculations they had made in such detail and believed to be perfect had ended up in a completely unexpected situation.They hated to admit that their opponent was tougher t

    "Ah, damn it! What are you doing aiming right!" The man shouted in frustration, directing his team to carry out the assault they were intensely engaged in.About five people, with their backs to each other, formed a circle in the center of the room in a building whose lighting seemed to be so dim that as far as the eye could see, they could only see lights that kept dimming with a very limited flame.The five men in the room who received the order to enter with the big plan prepared for them were now silent with tense eyes. With their hands ready to fire, they pulled the trigger at any moment as soon as they saw Movement appear before them.But waiting for something to appear in front of them was far more stressful than attacking a figure that was clearly in front of their eyes. Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, slowly dripping down without them realizing it. On that face that was so tense, there was a fear that silently continued to grow in size even though they ignored it."F

After all, the Carter family had tremendous wealth."We'll go here." The person in the secret society in the center of the small hut gave directions while the others nodded."We will be at points A and B. Make sure the others are at the designated points." The order became the centerpiece of the discussion. Everyone nodded in understanding and immediately carried out the order.They searched and studied the Carter family's data secretly to be able to rival the Carter family, such as wealth and other fields; in the end, they found out if it was related to

    Everyone watching was shocked. They all widened their eyes, unable to believe the masked man could finally be taken down and even hit the wall. Of course, this was Black Pearl's first defeat by a novice fighter."He... managed to defeat the champion." People began to whisper, stunned in disbelief at what they were seeing.Amazed by what he saw, the host was speechless because he initially thought Julian would lose."No way. Even though he almost won earlier, he lost to the new guy." Complaints from black pearl supporters began to complain about their confidence in voting for the man."The champion who has won consecutive arena battles is now limping. He's been using a weapon, and that sword is very sharp." People started talking about Black Pearl's defeat.All the admiration and cries of disbelief uttered by the bidders made Black Pearl look down in shame, wringing his hands tightly."Ah, damn it!" The other man looked frustrated as he grabbed his hair and shouted loudly. "I have noth

His time in the fight was a little different than before. suddenly, two weapons were lowered from the stage, making everyone surprised to see that."Okay, this time, the match will be made even more challenging because we already have a winner, and the winner wants the match once again, so we will make the fight even more interesting to end the night." The host explained the rules and the different fights.Everyone who participated in the auction became increasingly interested and increased their bets, which made the event organizers even happier."There are swords and baseball bats here." The host headed towards the two weapons that had just been lowered onto the stage. Alright, we'll have a vote on who gets the sharp or blunt weapon."Another person brought two numbers written on paper. The paper was folded properly, and no one knew which number Julian and the person he challenged would choose. The paper was shuffled so that no one knew where it was until th
