CHAPTER 116: LAST SCHOOL CHAOS

Gregory had not interpreted that last statement the way she did. She was clear about it, but Gregory didn’t take it negatively. After all, he expected that The Dominus would be involved in the dirty game as well and would have some top dogs backing him.

If needed, that is, because The Dominus didn’t seem like someone who needed help from top figures.

He was a top figure himself... One that many stronger rulers would have wished came from their country.

He immediately thought about it and realized it was true.

If he became Vice President, he wouldn’t have to pay the Minister of Commerce ten percent of the Grand Development Project revenue.

That was why excluding The Vanes was possible. The Minister of Commerce had made sure to protect Gregory Kingsley’s name, preventing him from being sanctioned for acquiring the Diamond Business Ticket by crooked means.

Now, he had to pay ten percent of the Kingsley Group’s newly established business revenue, which could amount to three billion dollars annually.

Getting ten percent didn’t mean it would be ten percent of Gregory’s share. It was the main ten percent share of the entire revenue, and The Dominus wouldn’t be affected because he wasn’t part of the deal.

This meant Gregory would have to give the Minister of Commerce about three billion out of his probable twenty billion in annual revenue.

Gregory had been carrying this burden for a while and had been trying to figure out how to get rid of it.

As the greedy man he was, having to pay the Minister of Commerce that much every year had never sat well with him, and he had even started regretting signing the deal—until The Dominus showed up.

’If I become Vice President, I can easily force him to terminate the deal or he could lose his post, and then I’d be free. That’s a great deal!’ Gregory shouted inwardly.

"Tell The Dominus that I would be so grateful. It would be my great pleasure to work with him, and I promise to be a diligent assistant," Gregory stated.

"He’ll hear. You just have to get yourself ready and deal with the pests feeding on your wealth... You surely know what I mean, Mister Gregory. You have a nice day," Camilia said as she left.

Royce had to accompany her outside after she was done with the private meeting with his father.

Then, just as she was about to enter the car... the bastard made his move.

"Uhmm, Miss Frostline. I’ve been keeping this to myself for a while now, but I think I have to tell you this," Royce began.

"Okay? What’s that about?" she asked in a soft, friendly tone.

"You’re a beautiful and sexy woman. I must say... I think I’d like to spend some time with you. You know, hang out sometime, enjoy... You know what I mean," Royce said with a wink.

And sure, she understood.

In fact, it wasn’t the first time she realized he was interested.

"Oh, okay... Sure. You can have my card then. Call me when you want to," Camilia said as she handed him a golden card with her contact details, then she left.

With the smile of a winner, Royce grabbed the card and gritted his teeth in joy.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"I can’t wait to thrust myself into that pink mouth of hers. It’s gonna be fun, haha," he rejoiced as he walked back into the building.

******

Jayden was going to take his final step as Jayden Cole today in Cloudbridge City. He wanted to fetch the real result he earned in the final exams, and thank goodness, his revenge was already prepared.

As he was preparing to leave, Charlotte walked into his room.

Temi was lying on the bed when she entered, completely naked, her eyes seeming to scream the words, "One more round, please!"

"I have a gift for you, my love," Charlotte smiled at Jayden as she approached him.

"Okay... What’s that?" Jayden asked.

Charlotte had her hands folded behind her back, clearly holding something.

She brought it out after he asked, revealing another mask. This one was colorless and resembled a nose mask.

"A mask with six hours of oxygen. Small but mighty. You’re gonna love it," Charlotte said.

"What? What do I need it for? I don’t think I need it, babe," Jayden chuckled softly.

"Well... I think you might need it. In case you get chased again and this time have to jump over a bridge," Charlotte replied.

Jayden shook his head and laughed again.

"Just in case..." Charlotte rubbed his bare chest and smiled before walking away, leaving the mask with him.

The colorless nose mask had the structure of an oxygen mask, but it didn’t have a cylinder. Instead, there was a small box on the side of the mask that seemed to store the oxygen.

Well, if it could last six hours, it was far from "just a little." Charlotte’s tech was impressive as always.

....

Jayden arrived at Sky High University right on time. Today was their Signing Out Ceremony.

He wasn’t just there to sign out... He came with a mission.

Jayden went straight to the Vice Chancellor’s office the moment he arrived.

"It’s time..." he said.

The Vice Chancellor nodded and stood up at once, as if they had already planned everything.

Indeed, they had.

Jayden and Vice Chancellor Magnus Norman entered the hall together.

Perfect timing... Professor Bernard was giving a speech when they arrived, and Royce was there as well.

The entire final year students were present, even those not in the same department... All the business categories.

Camilia and Paula were there.

Luka, Richy... Everyone.

"Attention everyone!"

Everyone stood up the moment they saw the Vice Chancellor, paying their respects.

"Welcome, Vice Chancellor!" they all greeted.

"It has come to my attention that one of the professors at Sky High University is a bloody fraudster. A criminal. Therefore, he will be punished," Vice Chancellor Magnus began.

All eyes turned to Professor Bernard at once.

"Professor Bernard, you are in trouble," Magnus added, then gave Jayden a go-ahead look.

Jayden stepped forward and played a recording through the phone speaker so that everyone could hear.

In the recording, everything was clear—what happened after Jayden was announced as 14th in the final exam results.

How Royce had paid Professor Bernard to switch Jayden’s result with his own.

The hall erupted in stunned shouts and gasps.

The big shock? Jayden didn’t go straight home on result day. After discovering he had been ranked 14th, he planted a recorder in the professor’s open office, knowing he would surely find Royce there again.

He had already suspected Royce and now, the evidence was undeniable.

Bernard sat there in silence. He couldn’t deny it.

His and Royce’s voices were unmistakable.

There was no point denying it now.

"Apologies for the poor treatment, Jayden Cole. I’m very sorry, on behalf of the Chancellor. Your real result will be sent to you soon," Vice Chancellor Magnus told Jayden.

"And as for you both," he turned to Bernard and Royce.

Two policemen entered the hall.

"You will be jailed for your crimes, Professor Bernard. And you are fired as a Federal Business Educationalist."

"As for you, Royce Kingsley. I don’t care where you come from or who your father is... You are expelled, and you will not be officially recognized as a graduate of Sky High University."

The hall erupted in gasps.

Well... good comeback, right?
