Chapter 836: Chapter 830 This is the Gap_1
Finn Lewis’s remark was so abrupt in this room. Shaoning Locke had been standing by Marlon Murray’s side, but as soon as Finn Lewis appeared, for some reason, Shaoning Locke felt all eyes in the room shift to Finn.
Usually, as direct heirs of the nine great royal families, wherever they went, they were the center of attention. But now, they all felt a sense of being ignored. Yet, you couldn’t deny that this bastard had a knack for making an instant impression, oh, no, for drawing all eyes to him instantly, for instantly mocking everyone.
Anyway, at this moment, Shaoning Locke felt Finn’s words were pretty low. He hadn’t seen Suleiman Cooper’s face change from normal to green in an instant, but witnessing this rapid change left Shaoning Locke clicking his tongue in amazement.
However, Suleiman’s complexion quickly returned to normal, and there was even an abnormal flush of excitement on his face.
As for why Suleiman was excited, of course, there was a reason. His sudden change of complexion wasn’t because he was angry at what Finn had just said. There was nothing to be angry about. Although he had not encountered Finn many times, he was very aware of how venomous Finn’s words could be.
His expression had simply been a habitual flash of annoyance upon seeing Finn, but it also showed just how much unfair treatment this kid had suffered at Finn’s hands, or else he wouldn’t have been so anger-stricken.
...
Suleiman again directed his attention towards Marlon Murray. Finn Lewis walked over to Marlon and clapped him on the shoulder before asking, “Tell me, what’s the matter?”
“Your Highness,” Marlon said with a wry smile, then fell silent.
“It’s nothing much, just that their family’s business ran into a little trouble, and they owe us some money, not a lot, just 300 billion star credits,” Suleiman said triumphantly, the expression on his face making it clear how delighted he was at the moment.
Finn Lewis’s face froze in surprise, and he looked at Marlon and asked, “Is that true?” Seeing the shock on Finn’s face filled Suleiman with immense satisfaction. You think you’re so great, so cool—let’s see what you can do now.
Suleiman thought maliciously. The reason he had come straight to Marlon today was precisely for this moment. Otherwise, for such a trivial matter, he wouldn’t have needed to get involved.
“It’s true, Your Highness. I don’t know the specifics, but the fact is that our family owes them 300 billion star credits. I’m sorry, Your Highness, I won’t be able to stand by your side any longer,” Marlon said, his face full of bitterness. He had just glimpsed hope for his life, but now it seemed to be ending here.
Although he didn’t know how it had happened, since Suleiman was here with everything already in hand, it meant that it was indeed true—undeniable by anyone. Even though Marlon knew the Rochefort Clan must have done something behind the scenes, they had no power to resist such a turn of events.
Shaoning Locke and others also sighed. Clearly, Marlon was an innocent victim. Why else would he have chosen to follow Finn Lewis, especially as the first one to do so? In this noble academy, that had significant meaning. The Rochefort Clan was now flexing their power. Although Finn had caused quite a stir recently,
they, the Rochefort Clan, were still one of the nine great surnames of the royal family, one of the most powerful ones at that. For these minor nobles, it would take merely minutes to destroy them, difficult as that admission might be. That was the harsh reality. With this, those around them would have to think twice about dealing with Finn Lewis. After all, they understood that continuing to do so might bring tremendous trouble to their own families.
