Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Expulsion (Part 1)
Translator: 549690339
“Mr. Wood, you step out for a moment.” After some deliberation, Robert Green decisively spoke.
“Headmaster Green.” Mr. Wood was taken aback.
“You go out for a while, I have something to discuss with Director Thomp.” Robert Green quickly said.
“This… alright.” Mr. Wood was a bit at a loss, had he made a mistake by disclosing Finn Lewis’s huge wealth? But Headmaster Green was in charge here and there was nothing Mr. Wood could do but to walk out of the office. However, he didn’t leave, instead waiting outside.
“Headmaster, you heard it, didn’t you? There’s something strange about this whole affair. Although we don’t know when they split the money, right after gaining such a large sum, he took out two million directly to squander on Cora Franklin? And right in front of everyone’s eyes. If it were someone else who just got hold of this sum of money, they could never just squander it. This obviously had been planned beforehand!” Robert Thomp said quickly.
“Mr. Thom, don’t jump to conclusions here, you’re wrong to say this. After all, it’s one hundred million we’re dealing with, not some small change of a few million. That’s not the kind of money someone can casually lay hands on.” Robert Green was somewhat taken aback, considering what Mr. Wood had said: it’s not that easy to illegally obtain such a large sum.
“Headmaster Green, let me tell you something. What does Mr. Wood’s class teach? Programming, software. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about our school’s raging hacker issue from a while ago? They hacked Tsinghua’s school forum to oblivion and it took a whole three days for Tsinghua to reclaim their servers. In the end, though, they had to resort to cutting off physical connections to do so,” Robert Thomp rattled off.
“Our school’s rules are strict: any student with illegal behaviors is eligible for expulsion,” Robert Thomp quickly added.
“But we haven’t finished investigating,” Robert Green couldn’t resist admitting.
“Just contact Director Samuel to know for sure. If they confirm there’s trouble of Finn Lewis, and they start investigating, we can proceed. If we wait until the investigation is over, we won’t be able to extricate ourselves.” Robert Thomp was clever, he tied the issue up with the school’s honor.
Unbeknownst to Finn Lewis, the discussion about him had escalated. But after he arrived at the police station, Sharp James first confirmed Finn’s identity and family background with Cora Franklin and Yuri Lucas, then let them leave. The police station has its own system. Accessing Finn Lewis’s family’s records was simple. After reading them, Sharp James was frowning.
Sitting across from Finn Lewis, Sharp James said, “Finn Lewis, if your money comes from a legal source, tell me now. I can you protect your confidentiality. But if you don’t say anything, you’re handling a lot of money here. This matter may exceed our jurisdiction and need to be reported to city headquarters. Once city headquarters get involved, it will impact your schooling. Do you understand?”
Although just a small town police chief, Sharp James had a good guess what was going on at the school. But he didn’t want to get involved in such a matter, and as a small town police chief, he couldn’t really join.
Finn Lewis laughed, “Director Samuel, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but that I can’t. If I do say something and any information leaks, the issue could become huge and losses could amount to tens of billions of Flame Nation coins. Can you handle that responsibility, Director Samuel?”
(If I could tell them, wouldn’t I have done so? Shit, if I could prove that I am a shareholder of Fruit, why would I give a damn about that Robert Thomp?)” Finn Lewis muttered under his breath, frustrated. Zero had only mentioned a single sentence from beginning to end. Although Zero had told Finn that he was a shareholder of Fruit now, Finn couldn’t entirely trust that. To become a shareholder, won’t there be a contract or some kind of stock transfer agreement? But Finn had nothing.
Just because you say you are, does that mean you are? It already feels ridiculous that a college student from Flame Nation is a shareholder of Fruit. If you’re a minor shareholder, that makes sense. Even if you bought a share of Fruit stock on the open market, you’re technically a shareholder. But the problem is, you’re claiming that you own as much as 4.8% of Fruit stocks…. Okay, Zero initially made it clear to Finn, Finn couldn’t believe it himself. How can others?
