Chapter 1266
"Excuse me." Derek stood up and said, "Could you clarify who said that we need a certificate to buy bedding?"The college and the university provided students with bedding. However, students were allowed to purchase their own bedding if they did not like the style or pattern provided. They did not need any certificate to purchase bedding. This reminded Eric and Sylvia of the absurdity of needing a certificate to drink milk. Nowadays, all kinds of certificates were becoming more and more ridiculous.Another student said, "I heard that students from other colleges have to pay before using the free bedding."This statement itself was contradictory. If it was free bedding, why did they have to pay?He continued, "We can purchase bedding on our own, but after buying it, we have to take it to a department for evaluation. Only after it's approved can we use it!"Eric was rendered speechless. "Is there really such a thing?" He felt frustrated yet somewhat relieved. More and more peopl

Eric was dumbfounded. He had assumed they would at least need to open the bedding to inspect it or maybe take some measurements. He did not expect they would just simply stamp two sheets of paper and that was it. Regaining his composure, he said coldly, "You could have just asked for 60 dollars from us directly. Why bother with the pretense of stamping two seals?"The only word Eric could think of was "corruption".After years of diligent study, their students finally secured spots at the country's top university. However, upon arrival, the first demand they faced was to pay 60 dollars for seemingly no valid reason. It felt like outright robbery.The man extinguished his cigarette and fixed his gaze on Eric. "Sir, what nonsense are you spouting? This requirement is clearly outlined in our rules. Without rules, there can be no order! You've journeyed all the way to King City University, yet you can't even afford 60 dollars? If you lack the funds, why bother coming to university in

"Hol. Johnson!" Homer hurried over to Eric. The holistic medicine college's professors were particularly intimidating, but he knew that the real threat was this young man standing before him.When the college was first established, King City University intended to make it the flagship of traditional culture and use it to promote holistic medicine. However, they were warned not to interfere with the college, or else they would be replaced.Eric remained calm and said, "Today is the opening ceremony of the holistic medicine college. I heard from my students that they were told that if they want to buy bedding, they need to take it for evaluation. How could such a preposterous thing happen at the prestigious King City University?"Homer had initially planned to argue, but it now seemed that arguing would likely be futile. Eric paid little attention to Homer's reaction and turned to Sylvia. "Sylvia, show the video you just took to the dean."Upon seeing the contents of the video, H

Homer snorted coldly and ordered, "Gabriel, send someone to investigate this matter immediately! If nobody dares to speak up, then we'll trace it back to the source!"Everyone stays here. You're not allowed to touch your phones, and absolutely no answering or making calls! I want to see who's got the guts to do such a thing!" He understood that this was his sole escape route. Even though the holistic medicine college had fewer students, they remained fiercely loyal to each other. In the past, accepting an apprentice required significant effort, but now the college boasted a substantial student body.The new students were astounded. Their seniors had warned them about the college's prowess, with its professors capable of addressing any challenge. Initially doubtful, they were now thoroughly surprised to discover that the rumors were indeed accurate."A few days ago, a senior said that these professors are the most formidable figures we'll ever come into contact with in our lives. I

The Combat Department had already noticed the issue with the textbooks and had begun secretly investigating it.Upon receiving Eric's call, they immediately rushed to King City University. Eric sat in his chair and said indifferently, "It seems that the problem you're involved in goes beyond just the bedding. How dare you target our next generation?! I'll put it straight. I don't care who you are! Anyone who dares to harm them will face my wrath!"Eric had meticulously analyzed the situation from various perspectives.Firstly, he delved into the parents' viewpoint. When the school or its associates exploited their children for financial gain, what recourse did the parents possess?They felt obligated to suffer in silence for their children's sake. Speaking up could potentially harm their children's welfare at school. They couldn't afford to gamble with their children's futures, thus opting to spend money to address the problem on behalf of their children. Regrettably, this mere

There was no way Homer could get away as well. To put it plainly, he had failed as the dean of King City University, and there would be no problem in charging him with dereliction of duty. Sensing that Miller still had more to say, Eric stood up and said, "Let's discuss this outside." Sylvia followed as she could listen to matters regarding the Combat Department.As they left, the students of the holistic medicine college erupted into chatter."Wow!""I thought Professor Johnson was just a holistic medicine physician? Then why did that imposing person salute him?" Derek cleared his throat and said, "All of you should focus on your studies! Don't pry into matters you shouldn't!" The students quieted down, but their curiosity remained. It was astonishing to discover someone more influential than Homer at the university.On the other side, Miller said, "It appears that several cases are related. The virus incidents and the issues with pre-packaged food and textbooks all have t

Pierce sighed and said, "Our economy was very poor 40 years ago, and most people couldn't even afford to eat properly. This situation persisted until 30 years ago. In the past 20 years, our economy has started to take off, with abundant resources and economic development. "However, there are still many people in the world who hope that we remain poor so that they can keep us at the bottom of the production chain and serve as the cheapest labor force for them! "Fortunately, we are very resilient! But even so, there are still people continuously suppressing us!"Eric remained silent, knowing that Pierce had not finished yet.Pierce then continued. "Nowadays, our international influence is growing, and we have more chips in our hands. But precisely because our economy is doing so well and we have abundant resources, there are always people eyeing us!"You and Sylvia probably know about many international organizations, but what I want to say is that these international organization

"I'll have to play it by ear," Eric said. "Besides, it doesn't matter if I can do it or not. I don't have any other choice but to go. After all, Big Boss gives me a hefty sum every month.""How much does he pay you?" Sylvia asked out of pure curiosity.Eric chuckled. "Adding it all up for the whole year, it's about 700,000-800,000 dollars.""What?!" Sylvia was astonished. "T-That's so little?!" People like Eric, Ruth, and Pierce could easily make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in a year regardless of where they were. Even the Lockes at the Montgomerys received several million dollars per year.The top-tier families in King City typically started spending from tens of millions. The higher the level of the family, the greater the expenses in this regard.Eric and Pierce could easily command a salary in the tens of millions with their martial arts skills, yet the Combat Department only offered a few hundred thousand!"Is it low?" Eric remarked. "There are other bene
