Many female students also admired Lawrence; only Wanda was watching Carlisle’s figure with red


    eyes.


    Carlisle was helping her seek revenge.


    He would have indeed been beaten if it weren’t for Lawrence’s intervention.


    Lawrence looked down at Jaxon and said, “Normally, I wouldn’t interfere with your fights. But if you hit


    my student outside of military training, you’ll have to deal with me!”


    Jaxon did a kick up from the ground and dusted himself off. He red coldly at Carlisle and said, “I’ll


    see you after school.”


    Carlisle chuckled dismissively. “Sure, I’ll wait for you at the school gate.”


    Lawrence frowned and reprimanded, “What are you saying? I’m still here!”


    The other students gradually left after giving Carlisle and his group a menacing look.


    Lawrence’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Carlisle. “Do you live on campus or off campus?”


    “On campus.”


    “Don’t leave the school after sses today.”


    There were security patrols on campus, so even if there were fights among students, they could be


    quickly stopped. If it happened off–campus, the school’s security team wouldn’t bother.


    Carlisle remained silent, turning back to rejoin the queue. He had paid a thousand dors in protection


    fees. Hopefully, Mike wouldn’t turn a blind eye to this.


    Sunny and Francis came to pick up Carlisle to sign the contract at noon.


    Last night, the n was for 18 units only, but the owner added six more units during the contract


    signing.


    That meant there were 24 units total, amounting to a total payment of 1.9 million dors.


    Carlisle also opened a checking ount while at the bank. It was too troublesome to go to the bank.


    every time for a transfer, writing checks next time would be much more convenient.


    As they left the bank, Sunny suddenly ran over excitedly. “Boss, there’s an abandoned ice skating rink


    and


    karaoke venue for resale on Rhonwen Road, both owned by the same owner!”


    Carlisle’s face lit up upon hearing this. “How much can we get it for?”


    Sunny replied, “3.5 million!”


    “Can we move in today?”


    Sunny shook his head. “The abandoned ice skating rink is okay, but removing the karaoke equipment


    will take two to three days.”


    Carlisle took out his checkbook and wrote down four million. “Give him four million. I want all the


    equipment, and the deal must bepleted by today!”


    Sunny and Francis stiffened.


    Was Carlisle nning to start a karaoke business in Riverwatch District?


    Sunny regained hisposure, trembling as he epted the check. “Boss, aren’t you going to sign


    the


    contract?”


    This was four million dors! Sunny couldn’t earn this much money in several lifetimes. How much trust


    did Carlisle have in him?


    “ed to go back to school. You can handle it!”


    Carlisle smiled faintly and walked toward the ck car parked by the roadside. “Francis, can you take


    me


    back to school?”


    Francis nced at Sunny as if he wanted to remember his face.


    Sunny nervously said, “Francis, you can trust me. I won’t run away!”


    “The boss trusts you, and so do I!” Francis patted Sunny on the shoulder, then turned to get into the


    car.


    Sunny stared nkly at the check in his hand.


    Four million dors! This was money he wouldn’t dare to dream of. In an era where the average sry


    was only 700 or 800 dors, four million was a terrifying astronomical figure!


    If he could keep it for himself, he wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life.


    His heart was pounding, and he kept swallowing saliva. He lit a cigarette and took a few deep puffs,


    only to cough violently when he was choked by the smoke.


    After recovering, Sunny took a deep breath and strode into the bank. At the service window, he


    mmed the check on the counter and said, “Help me convert this into cash…”


    The counter clerk nced at the check, her eyes widening momentarily. But after a moment, she


    quickly regained herposure, smiling professionally.


    “Sir, I’m sorry, but cash withdrawals over 500 thousand dors require an appointment in advance.”

    Sunny’s eyes dimmed slightly.


    Just as he was about to turn away/a well–dressed woman hurried to the window and said, “Sir, please


    wait. I can arrange enough cash for you within an hour.”
