After enjoying a satisfying meal, Carlisle and the others returned to their respective homes. Francis had
drunk quite a bit, so Carlisle had to hail a taxi back to school.
Carlisle was immediately taken aback when he entered his dormitory. His roommates stood nervously
on either side.
Mike, with a swollen face, was smoking on Carlisle’s bed. Two other young men stood beside him with
rolled–up sleeves.
“Mike… What happened?” Carlisle approached him.
Mike narrowed his eyes at Carlisle and snorted. “What happened? It’s all because of you!”
Carlisle put on a grateful expression and said, “Thank you, Mike, for your generous help. Let me treat
you and your friends to a feast at A1 Seafood Restaurant tomorrow.”
Mike was hoping to gain some benefits from Carlisle. Seeing Carlisle being so understanding, his
expression softened a bit.
“No need for a feast. Just give me three thousand. I still need to buy cigarettes forn’s men!”
“Three…” Carlisle was dumbfounded. In reality, he didn’t even have one thousand bucks on him. :
“Hm?” Mike’s expression darkened, and his twopanions immediately stepped forward. It seemed
they wouldn’t let him go easily without getting the money.
Carlisle gritted his teeth and forced a smile. ‘I don’t have that much money on me right now. How about
tomorrow? Come to the dormitory at this time tomorrow!”
“Fine, you better not y with me!” Mike warned before leaving with hispanions.
“Damn, Carl, you should consider changing dormitories. With you here, we’re constantly on edge!”
Jasper Suttonmented, sitting on the bed opposite Carlisle.
“Mike was here for a whole hour, so we had to stand just as long. We already had to stand as a
punishment during military training, but now we have to continue standing even in our dormitory!
Please, have some sympathy for us.”
The other roommates also looked displeased as they nced at Carlisle.
At this moment, Daniel spoke up/“Carlisle, I think you should tell the teachers. You can just let Mike
push you around all the time.”
Carlisle smiled helplessly. “Do you think telling the teachers will help?”
There wouldn’t be such gang–like behavior in school if telling the teachers worked. But this situation
wouldn’tst long.
Once Heath dealt withn, the underground forces in several nearby areas would be reshuffled. These
small gangs in the school would have to submit to Heath’s authority.
Daniel shrugged. “It’s up to you if you have the money. I’ve warned you, anyway.”
At that moment, Shane Foster suddenly asked, “I’m going downstairs‘ to buy some drinks. Does

need anything?”
“Help me get two packs of beef jerky!”
“I’ll have a bottle of coke!”
Several ssmates immediately handed money to Shane.”
“As usual, 50 cents for the delivery fee!” Shane said with a yful smile.
Carlisle took out a hundred–dor bill from his pocket. “Today’s incident has caused inconvenience to
everyone. Let me treat you all to some snacks and drinks. Shane, use this to buy something for them!”
“Wow, you sure are generous!”
“Cal, you’re awesome!”
“Damn it, if Mike dares to bother Cal again next time, I’ll be the first to beat him up!”
The roommates seemed to have forgotten the earlier incident, all trying to please Carlisle.
Most of them came from ordinary families, with a monthly allowance of only about 400 dors. Treating
them to snacks for 100 bucks was quite generous of Carlisle.
“Cal, I spoke too loudly just now. Please don’t take it to heart!”
Jasper’s attitude had changed, and his face was filled with a ttering smile.
Carlisle had first given Mike a thousand bucks as protection money, and now he promised to give him
another three thousand.
He didn’t even bat an eye at Mike’s request just now. Clearly, he came from a wealthy family.
Jasper believed he should rely on friends when he was away from home.
What did a small punishment like standing for a while matter if he could be friends with a rich kid?
