Chapter 837: Chapter 831 The Gap Between People_1
“Don’t worry, after accepting your family, although it’s a certainty that your family could never repay such a huge debt, it’s fine, I’ll take care of all your family members. That way, you’ll go mine for me on a mineral planet. There’s no helping it, you always have to pay back what you owe. I’ll pay you the highest wages in the industry, until you’ve repaid the debt in full,” Suleiman Cooper spoke generously, but inside he was practically ecstatic.
Finn Lewis reached out and patted Marlon Murray’s shoulder, lifted his head with a look reserved for idiots when he gazed at Suleiman Cooper, then turned back to Marlon and said, “If what you’re saying is true, then there should be some sort of contract, right?”
“Right here.” Marlon gave a bitter smile, then showed his personal brain-computer to Finn Lewis. Finn glanced at it; indeed, it was a contract. The Ashford Family owed Suleiman Cooper 300 billion star credits, not the Rochefort Clan, but that no longer made any difference.
Everyone knew that without the Rochefort Clan, Suleiman Cooper counted for nothing. If he could pull off such a stunt, he wouldn’t be just scraping by aimlessly at this noble academy. So, when it came down to it, the Rochefort Clan was the one pulling the strings behind the scene.
The target was Finn Lewis alone, “See clearly now? If you don’t understand what this means, I can translate it for you. This contract contains the most legitimate terms under federal law. Once it’s signed, it becomes legally binding, and even if you don’t want to comply, you’ll have no choice; the Federation will enforce it,” Suleiman said with malicious satisfaction, though his face wore a smile.
“Damn, I thought it was something serious, but it’s just this trivial matter,” Finn bluntly said. The people around him had been ready to witness his tragedy, but his words left everyone, including Suleiman, completely dumbfounded.
...
Most importantly, the classroom was so quiet that Finn’s words naturally drifted into Suleiman’s ears.
Suleiman Cooper opened his mouth, his expression turning from white to green, from green to red, and from red to purple. Finally, with a “croak,” he blacked out and keeled over. Only after Suleiman fainted did the rest of the class come to their senses.
And as they did, the classroom erupted into an uproar, with many of the younger nobles almost ecstatically shouting out; the excitement was too much for some, who directly uploaded the scene to the school forum.
Nobody saw this twist coming. This was beyond anyone’s predictions, and for a simple reason: think about it, Finn Lewis had only spent a total of 240 billion for the Aitken Family, and although the exact amount wasn’t clear to the outside world, some people knew, because the Aitken Family’s territories had become under Finn’s control.
And it’s not like Finn would give his adversaries new money; it was just a debt of 240 billion star credits owed to him by them, and that was through a contract they willingly signed with Finn. This sum was about the total fortune of a five-star noble clan. The Aitken Family couldn’t come up with the funds and had to hand over all their territories to Finn.
But now, Finn had paid 300 billion star credits and didn’t even blink an eye from beginning to end, not to mention showing any hesitation. Clearly thrilled, Suleiman Cooper, who had come looking for trouble, appeared like a colossal fool in the face of Finn’s reaction.
Moreover, it was as if the words “gigantic fool” were tattooed on his forehead for all to see. It was irresistibly comical. The incident instantly sparked a massive storm across the entire noble academy, and everyone revised their impression of just how extravagant our tycoon Highness could be.
And on the school forum, the appearance of a post caused a major sensation—the title alone read, “Comparisons will drive you to despair, and comparisons will compel you to toss things aside.”
