Chapter 699
“Also from the Department of Economics and Management’s third class, the top donor donated a grand total of… Five hundred thousand dollars!” shouted the host excitedly. The students’ response to that announcement was an immense roar of both shock and awe. Five hundred thousand dollars?! To think that they had already considered Fabian’s fifteen thousand dollar donation to be over the top! Even after adding what the two goddesses had donated, their total amount still couldn’t beat the amount of cash the top donor had given to charity! Five hundred thousand dollars… In cold hard cash, that amount could easily reach even the hall’s ceiling! The students weren’t the only ones in awe either. Even the school’s leaders and lecturers got up from their seats, clapping in utter shock at that colossal amount. While all this was happening, Warren and Maia were busy peeking at Fabian and Stella. Fabian and Stella themselves looked completely astounded. Someone from their class had don

Since he was definitely going to look bad if he didn’t fetch the water this time around, Gerald and Marven left the hall. In his mind, Gerald was honestly sighing in relief that his name hadn’t been called out earlier as the top donor. Mandy, on the other hand, felt that something was off as she watched Gerald and Marven leaving the hall. “Hey, Jasmine? Earlier when Gerald walked past me, I could feel my heart thumping rapidly! Hell, for a second there, I even considered the thought of wanting him to stay by my side! What on earth was that feeling...? While we haven’t really acquainted ourselves with him, why does he already feel so familiar…?” whispered Mandy. “I get what you mean. While he dresses like a regular person, he sure doesn’t feel like one! We don’t know anything about his background yet either…” replied Jasmine with a nod. As both of them continued discussing Gerald, all six of the boys were already carrying the water bottles back to the hall. They were also task

“…It’s… him?” Though Maia had been notified by Warren that Gerald was apparently studying here, she hadn’t personally seen him till now. Seeing him carrying the water bottles instantly caused a look of disdain to form on her face. While he was now in a different school, he was still the same loser that he was back in high school. To think that he was still being ordered around to carry and distribute water to others! She didn’t even want to know why Gerald was now studying at Salford University. Meanwhile, the girls from earlier were now surrounding Gerald. “What is the meaning of this?” asked one of the higher-ups. “Manager Luke! We’ve found him! He’s the one who donated the five hundred thousand dollars!” said one of the volunteer girls in admiration. “…What?” Hearing her words, everyone went silent. A look of utter shock and disbelief was on everyone’s faces, and this was especially so for those currently standing on stage. Stella herself was awkwardly staring at

Though he used to see Maia as a goddess way back in his poor days, this was the final straw. Gerald would no longer tolerate her straightforwardness and sharp-tongue! “Well since I’m already ‘acting’ like a rich guy, I may as well ‘act’ till the very end! You know what, I’m adding another hundred and fifty thousand dollars to that initial five hundred thousand!” announced Gerald with a wry smile. “W-what?” Hearing that, everyone fell into utter shock! As if five hundred thousand dollars wasn’t enough! This person was now donating a grand total of six hundred and fifty thousand dollars to charity! At this point, the rest of Gerald’s classmates were all staring wide-eyed at him. It was hard for them to even process that such a simple looking person could actually be such a rich man! While this was the reaction of Gerald’s classmates, the silence ended when one of the students from another third-year class began cheering! Hearing that, a chain reaction of cheers and applause

“Oh? Who could you be planning to give all that to?” asked Gerald as he continued smiling. Gerald was rightfully curious since this was the first time he had ever seen this side of Marven. “Haha… Between you and me, it’s a girl I have a crush on! She’s from the Taekwondo society which is going to hold a tournament very soon! Since she’s been training so hard, I thought of buying some food to keep her well-nourished!” replied Marven, a huge grin on his face. Hearing that, Gerald felt happy for Marven. While Marven was one of the smarter people, his feelings were still simple and honest. Since they were now rather close friends anyway, Gerald decided to tag along. Eventually, they arrived at the Taekwondo society. Inside, quite a number of people were busy training. Scanning around while hugging all the food he had bought in his arms, Marven finally found the person he was looking for. The girl he had a crush on was stunning, to say the least. “Hahaha! Look who’s here, Raqu
Chapter 704
She was well aware that Marven had a crush on her. However, even though she had made it extremely clear that she wasn’t into him, why on earth was he still pestering her? Every girl had an ego to maintain when it came to relationships. If Raquel had received the same treatment from a better-looking guy, she wouldn’t have minded. However, Marven was a completely different story. After all, to most people, he generally had a bad image if she was going to be completely honest about it. After being humiliated in front of so many people, she would’ve kicked him out the door if she was any less morally aware! “B-Brother Gerald!” shouted Marven as he rushed over to Gerald to help him up. While Gerald clearly looked like he wanted to continue arguing with Raquel, Marven noticed that a few of the Taekwondo society’s members were already circling them. Fearing that Gerald would get hurt because of him again, Marven immediately dragged him out of there. The two continued walking on un

“What exactly happened? There’s no need to rush, just focus on telling me everything in detail!” added Gerald. “It’s… It’s grandpa Finnley! He’s been packing up and trying to leave! Even now, I’m still struggling to stop him from doing so!” “What? But why? Everything’s been going smoothly for a while now! Why the sudden urge to leave?” replied Gerald, confused. Gerald saw Finnley as a mysterious old man who—even in his old age—still operated alone most of the time. It was fate that had brought Gerald and Finnley together, and the old man had already helped Gerald on multiple occasions. While Finnley still seemed to enjoy pestering him, Gerald said nothing about it. After all, he had already received so much help from the old man. To return the old man’s favour, Gerald welcomed Finnely’s presence, serving Finnley with fine food and also a place to stay in his mansion. Since Finnley had also saved Queta’s life, even she treated him well, and she would always make sure that

“Alright, how about this? I’ll stay here for three more days and though you probably won’t be able to learn any difficult moves within that short amount of time, under my guidance, you can surely learn at least a few for self-defense. That way, your enemies won’t be able to come too close to you that easily! While the moves themselves are practical and generally easier to learn, keep in mind that the moves aren’t designed to hurt people! They’re primarily for self-defense, after all!” said Finnley. “…Wait, you aren’t kidding, right? I’ll be able to learn basic self-defense in just three days?” replied Gerald with a smile. “Listen, if I say you can master it by then, you definitely can! Consider yourself lucky that I’m even staying back to teach you, you brat of a grandson! And don’t look at me with those doubtful eyes! If you don’t believe me, try hitting me with all you’ve got!” said Finnley as he waved at Gerald to come at him. “I’d rather not! Again, Mr. Quick, I was only hurt
