Alex looked at him as though the answer was obvious."I'm going home."

Victor blinked twice. "...Home?"

"Yes," Alex replied, pointing vaguely toward the front entrance of the mansion. "I'm heading back to my house."

Victor stared at Alex in complete silence.

Then his eyes slowly shifted toward the mansion's front door before returning to his son once again.

For several long seconds, he genuinely did not know how he was supposed to respond.

Finally, he found his voice.

"Alex, isn't this your home

    The moment Alex stepped into the Vice Chancellor's office, he quietly closed the door behind him.The Vice Chancellor looked up from the stack of documents spread neatly across his desk. The moment he saw who had entered, a faint smile appeared on his face."Mr. Hayes."Alex nodded respectfully. "Good afternoon, sir.""Good afternoon, Mr. Hayes." The Vice Chancellor gestured toward the chair in front of his desk. "Please, have a seat.""Thank you, sir."Alex walked over and sat down, carefully placing the large envelope he had been carrying on his lap."I assume this visit has something to do with the Student Union election," the Vice Chancellor said."Yes, sir. That's exactly why I came." Alex nodded.The Vice Chancellor leaned back comfortably in his chair. "Very well. Tell me, what would you like to discuss?"Alex scratched the back of his head awkwardly before letting out a quiet laugh."To be completely honest, sir..."He hesitated for a moment before continuing."I don't even kn

    Daniel's expression gradually darkened.He had not imagined that every single one of his arguments would be dismissed so completely. For several long moments, neither of them spoke as an uncomfortable silence settled over the office.Then Daniel let out a cold, humorless laugh."So this is your final decision?" he asked.The Vice Chancellor looked at him calmly. "My decision has already been made."Daniel slowly nodded. "I see."He leaned back in his chair and folded his arms across his chest."I honestly believed that once you understood how serious this situation is, you would make the right choice."The Vice Chancellor remained silent, allowing him to continue.Daniel shook his head slowly."But it seems I overestimated you." His voice became noticeably colder. "Since you clearly don't care about this school's reputation... I suppose I need to remind you of something.""And what exactly would that be?" the Vice Chancellor asked, raising an eyebrow."My father." A confident smile sl

    The Vice Chancellor sat in his office, carefully reviewing the stack of documents on his desk.He reached for another file and had barely opened it when—Bang!The office door suddenly swung open without warning.The Vice Chancellor immediately lifted his head, his eyebrows drawing together in surprise.Before he could say a single word, Daniel casually walked into the office as though he owned the place.Without asking for permission, he turned around, calmly shut the door behind him, and strolled confidently toward the chair positioned opposite the Vice Chancellor's desk."Mr. Foster. I don't recall inviting you into my office." The Vice Chancellor frowned.Daniel leaned back in the chair without showing the slightest trace of embarrassment."I wasn't here because you invited me," he replied casually. "I came because we need to have a serious conversation."The Vice Chancellor slowly placed the pen in his hand on top of the desk before folding his hands together."And what exactly i

    The cold smile that had appeared on Daniel's face remained there for several long moments.Lily and the rest of their friends stood around him without saying a single word. Every one of them waited patiently for him to continue speaking.Although traces of humiliation could still be seen on Daniel's face, the blind rage that had consumed him only moments earlier had gradually begun to settle.The anger had not disappeared.It had simply transformed into something much more.Lily was the first to break the silence."What do you mean?" she asked eagerly as she stepped a little closer to him. "A moment ago, you said you already have a plan. What exactly is your plan?"Daniel slowly turned his head toward her."I do have one," he replied calmly.One of the boys immediately stepped forward."What is it?" he asked impatiently. "Tell us."Daniel did not answer immediately. Instead, he slowly looked around the area.His eyes carefully scanned the courtyard outside the auditorium to make sure

    Standing a short distance away, Professor Collins remained calm with both hands folded behind his back.His expression revealed neither satisfaction nor disappointment. He simply waited."So, Mr. Foster," Professor Collins said in a calm voice, "the decision is now yours."Daniel swallowed hard.For a brief moment, he simply stared at the floor before forcing out an awkward laugh."There has to be some kind of misunderstanding."His words immediately caused a wave of murmurs to spread throughout the auditorium.Students looked at one another in confusion.Daniel looked around at the audience before speaking again."Come on, everyone," he said, forcing another laugh. "Surely nobody actually believed I was being serious."He smiled stiffly. "It was obviously a figure of speech."Several students frowned, while others exchanged puzzled glances."A figure of speech?""What is he talking about?""We all heard exactly what he said."Daniel hurriedly continued before anyone else could interr

    Before Alex could respond, the entire auditorium fell into complete silence.Hundreds of students kept their eyes fixed on him, waiting to see how he would answer Daniel's challenge.Daniel stood only a few feet away from Alex with a smug smile spread across his face. His arms were folded confidently across his chest, and the look in his eyes suggested that he had already declared himself the winner.He slowly shook his head before raising the microphone to his lips once again."What happened, Alex?" he asked with a mocking smile. "Just a few moments ago, you looked so confident."He paused deliberately before adding, "Well? Go on. We're all waiting."Scattered laughter echoed across the auditorium.Daniel smiled even more proudly as he continued speaking, making no attempt to hide the satisfaction in his voice."I only asked you to name ten famous fashion designers and identify their latest collections. That isn't exactly an impossible question."He gave a casual shrug before looking
