Chapter 39: Those Who Seek Death, Shall Die (Part 2)
With a loud “bang”, Robert Green smacked his desk in his office and angrily rose from his seat. “What does Robert Thomp think he is doing?! Is he trying to rebel?! Is he the headmaster, or am I?!” The moment Green’s secretary reported the matter, he was instantly infuriated!
And why shouldn’t he be? With such an event occurring and the school being oblivious, if the higher authorities or outsiders found out, wouldn’t this demonstrate his incompetence in managing the school?!
But after venting his anger, Green chuckled wearily. The issue was indeed vexing. The notice was already issued with the department’s official stamp on it, making it legally valid! Now what could he do about it? Withdraw the notice on behalf of the school?
Wouldn’t this… just make a mockery of the school in public? Moreover, all the students already knew about it. F University disciplined many students every year. If other penalized students found out, wouldn’t this stir up a rebellion? Wouldn’t they suspect a conspiracy between the school and Finn Lewis?!
It was a strong possibility! It was common knowledge that Lewis had ostentatiously blown two million Flame Nation coins on Cora Franklin in front of what could very much be the whole school! He discarded it like worthless paper! And now, if his penalty just came out and the school immediately retracted it! Rumors would spread that Lewis paid off the school!
But if this issue is not addressed, what then? In others’ eyes, Lewis might seem only wealthy, but Green knew his entire background. Could it all simply be reduced to him being rich?! The man was not just rich! He was worth at least 300 billion in federal coins! Do you grasp the enormity of that? That was a fortune reserved for the top twenty-five in the world’s richest!
Could such a man merely be described as wealthy? And this was not even what vexed Green the most. What troubled him more was Lewis was only in his early twenties and, using the knowledge gained in the university, he obtained shares in A Corporation. Just imagine, what else could Lewis achieve in the future?
Forget the future, even now, if the news spread, Green could picture the repercussions. Luckily for now, neither A Corporation nor Lewis seemed to have plans to make this information public. Otherwise, he would not have been asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.
After pondering for a long while, Green finally made a decision. He first called Thomp and scolded him, and then dialed Lewis’ class teacher, Mr. Wood, as he didn’t have Lewis’ number.
Finn Lewis was still sleeping when he received the call from Mr. Wood. But as soon as he heard what Mr. Wood had to say, he was completely awake. “Mr. Wood, is this decision made by the school or by the department?” Finn almost lost his cool when he heard the news, but he forced himself to calm down. Yet, he couldn’t hide his rage.
“It was a decision made by the department, I received a call from the headmaster just now. He said that the school did not make such a decision, it was Thomp who took the initiative to do so. Also, he wants you to come to his office for a talk. He assured you though, Thomp has no authority to expel you.” Mr. Wood hurriedly relayed all of the headmaster’s words to Lewis.
As for his student, Mr. Wood was unsure of how to evaluate him. Now, it seemed he couldn’t treat him as a regular student anymore. Even though he was originally just another student to him, Mr. Wood knew he couldn’t maintain his previous attitude towards Lewis.
“Okay, I got it.” Lewis replied curtly, then continued, “I won’t go to the school for now. Please communicate this to Headmaster Green. Regardless of whether the decision was made by the school, the decision from the department should also represent the school, right? Also, thank you, Mr. Wood, I will handle this matter by myself.”
“Lewis, you need to calm down. Your teacher knows you have money now, but you need to use that money responsibly.” Mr. Wood was worried after hearing Lewis’ tone, hoping that the kid wouldn’t resort to rash actions.
“Mr. Wood, you have my word, I will not do anything impulsive,” Finn said with a smile. After repeating his assurance to Mr. Wood several times, Mr. Wood finally ended the call.
Fuming after the call, Lewis cursed loudly. If he wasn’t causing trouble for Thomp, that was one thing, but Thomp actually turned around and stirred up trouble for him. Would Thomp really think that Lewis was powerless against him? Lewis was still contemplating how to handle these video materials last night.
Among the restricted category videos Lewis had – they were very complete. He learned from Zero that Thomp, the old lecherous man, even saved them all on his computer. Apparently, Thomp was not just a lecher but a pervert, who actually hoarded these materials. Did he plan to use them to threaten these female students into submission in the future?
Originally, Lewis couldn’t figure out a solution that would satisfy all parties involved, especially since there were many female students featured in these videos and they all had their own lives to live. Lewis wouldn’t want to tarnish their lives just because of this incident. After all, Thomp was doomed, but shouldn’t the female students who were victimized by him be spared?
But now, Lewis didn’t have the luxury to ponder much. Since Thomp was courting death, he would just fulfill his wish. Lewis quickly got up and went into his study room. After turning on his computer, he started dealing with the video materials on his mobile. First of all, Lewis planned to mosaic out the faces of the female students in the videos Thomp had taken.
Although his academic performance wasn’t outstanding at the university, a student from the computer science department like him faced no issues dealing with SilCh simple matters. He directly decompiled the video materials
and put mosaics on the faces of all the females directly from the underlying data.
So no matter what kind of recovery software others used, it would be impossible to restore the original faces of the female students. After dealing with all the video materials, Lewis transferred them back onto his mobile.
Then, Lewis logged onto F University’s school forum from his mobile, registered a new forum account, and started making a post.. “Damn it, you’re seeking death? Well then, let’s see how you cover up all this filth and disgrace!”
