Luca Hall promptly found Mr. Wood’s office following the boy’s direction. Inside, Mr. Wood was fretting. Although no official notice had come from the school, he knew that a discussion about possibly expelling Finn Lewis was taking place, and he had been asked to attend a meeting on it soon.

Even if Mr. Wood was invited to the meeting, the decision ultimately had nothing to do with him. This sort of situation only arises when a decision has already been made at a higher level, and discussions are carried out merely as a formality!

Mr. Wood felt distressed. While Lewis might not be an exceptional student, he is not a bad one either. Aside from the specific incident, he was just one of many ordinary students. But who asked him to lose his temper and openly curse at Robert Thomp in the office, even bringing up many of Thomp’s stains in public?

If Thomp didn’t retaliate, it would be against his nature. Other teachers were certainly aware of Thomp’s issues, which were widely discussed among students. The problem is that no one dare speak openly about them.

Although Thomp was not exactly a high-ranking leader in the school, anyone could see from the situation in the principal’s office that even the principal gave him face.

As Mr. Wood was worrying, there was a voice from a teacher at the door: “Mr. Wood, someone is looking for you.”

Mr. Wood looked up, surprised, and saw a foreign man with blond hair and green eyes, approximately in his forties.

“Hello, is this Mr. Justin Wood?” Luca Hall asked directly in Federation

Language.

As the teacher of Computer Science, Mr. Wood’s Federation Language needed to be decent, and Luca Hall’s spoken English gave away that he must be from the Flame Nation. Because when he mentioned Wood’s name, he referred to him as Justin Wood, with the last name first and the first name second, which is contrary to the naming habit of foreigners.

“Yes, it is. Who might you be?” Mr. Wood immediately replied.

“Nice to meet you, I am Luca Hall, a lawyer from Pruett Law Firm in the North Federation.” Luca Hall introduced himself and showed a picture of Finn on his phone. “Are you Finn Lewis’s teacher? This is his picture.”

Upon seeing the picture of Finn on Luca Hall’s phone, Mr. Wood felt his head explode. A lawyer has even come! What on earth has this lousy kid done! But after giving it a second thought, a billion Flame Nation coins is worth nearly 20 million Federation coins! It can’t possibly be a trivial matter!

“Mr. Wood?” Seeing Mr. Wood stupefied, Luca Hall repeated questioningly.

“Yes… I am Finn’s teacher… But… What do you need from him? What has he done? How much money did he steal from you?” Mr. Wood plucked up the courage to ask, as this matter must be resolved one way or another.

“A crime? Stealing money? What do you mean?” Luca Hall was taken aback.

“Aren’t you here to retrieve money from Finn? Didn’t he steal your money?” Mr. Wood was also taken aback, but since Luca Hall’s reaction was clearly genuine, Mr. Wood quickly questioned anxiously.

“Absolutely not. Mr. Lewis is my employer. I came from North Federation especially to handle his affairs. If we must talk about money, it does involve money, but only because Mr. Lewis hired me. But what did you mean by stealing money? Does Mr. Lewis need to steal money from others? You must be joking!” Luca Hall’s smile instantly disappeared and he asked seriously.

But Mr. Wood was left dumbfounded by Luca Hall’s words. So he wasn’t here for Finn? And Finn was his employer? Then… Mr. Wood instantly understood that this must be the person Finn mentioned, who was coming to handle his affairs. Mr. Wood immediately laughed and hastily added: “No worries. But, Mr.

Hall, you need to meet our principal and prove it to us.”

“I assume, Mr. Wood, you should first tell me the details of the situation. How can my employer be implicated in stealing money? It’s absolutely impossible!” Luca Hall exclaimed. Steal money? What a joke! As an owner of 4.8% of Apple’s stock, worth over 30 billion Federation coins, would he need to steal money? Was this a joke? If this news gets out, countless banks in the North Federation would be willing to lend money to Finn – millions of Federation coins can be borrowed!

“Alright then.” Mr. Wood thought for a moment; although he did not know

Luca Hall’s intentions, the fact that Finn could afford a lawyer from the North Federation proved that Finn’s money was legitimately obtained! Plus, for Luca Hall to verify this, he would need to know the entire story.

Mr. Wood immediately explained the whole situation to Luca Hall. When Luca Hall heard the story, he almost burst out laughing. But he knew that this was his time to shine. Luca didn’t expect that he would get the opportunity to help his employer get out of trouble as soon as he arrived from the North Federation!

This was a golden opportunity! You should know how much money could be earned each year by being Finn’s personal lawyer! It was way more than what he would earn being just a lawyer! Although he was considered affluent himself, he was nowhere near Finn’s league. No one would complain about having too much money, would they?

“Mr. Wood, this is hilarious. Who has been suggesting that my employer’s money is obtained illegally? It’s simply a joke. Whether it’s two million Flame Nation coins, or even if you add a zero to that figure and convert it into Federation coins, my employer can easily afford it without so much as a frown!” Luca Hall spoke with conviction.

Hearing Luca Hall’s words, Mr. Wood was dumbfounded. So Finn could pick up twenty million Federation coins? And all without batting an eye?

“Well, Mr. Hall, could you first tell me what exactly is going on?” Mr. Wood inquired tentatively.

“I’m sorry, this involves billions, even tens of billions of Federal coins of commercial decryption. I apologize! If you insist on knowing, we can contact the relevant departments in your country, but you must sign a confidentiality agreement first!” Luca Hall’s professional demeanor kicked in. Most importantly, Luca was more than just a North Federation lawyer. Being able to handle international cases meant Luca had comprehensive knowledge of both the North Federation’s and Flame Nation’s laws.

“Well…” Hearing Luca Hall’s response, although Mr. Wood was still in doubt, Luca Hall’s status was certainly more convincing than Finn’s.

“Alright, Mr. Hall, let’s go to the principal’s office now. We need to clarify this situation with the principal first.” Mr. Wood immediately acquiesced. Whether he knew the specifics was not important, but they couldn’t let the school expel Finn. If what Luca was saying was true and Finn was expelled, the school would likely become the laughing stock of the whole Flame Nation. It could even become famous worldwide.

“Of course, I am more than willing.” Luca Hall immediately nodded in agreement..
