Chapter 838: Chapter 832: The Gap is Too Big_1

“I really wonder if the Rochefort Clan feels any sha watching this unfold. The incident itself isn’t anything special, but as the saying goes, it’s not about not recognizing the goods; it’s about the goods being compared. Right now, I actually feel sad for the Aitken Family. Think about it, everyone probably knows the inside story, and why the Aitken Family sought out His Highness in the first place.”

“But what happened in the end? Because the Rochefort Clan pulled the strings from behind, it was their own bad luck. Although the Rochefort Clan helped with the production, they decisively abandoned ship after a slight loss. How much could they lose? The Aitken Family can only be described as getting shot while lying down—a tragedy compounded by sorrow. Just like that, they were abruptly abandoned.”

“Now let’s look at His Highness here; Martin Duffield may have been with His Highness for a while, but what has he really done for His Highness? Just hanging around him, being a little follower. But what was the result? His own family got ssed with, and by one of the nine ruling royal families, no less.”

“In such a situation, if it were the Rochefort Clan, they would certainly have given up, but His Highness here, without a second word, really, without a second word, just coughed up the money. Damn, you really have no idea the look on my face at that mont. I was shocked; it’s an indescribable feeling. 300 billion star credits, man, it’s not 300, not 30,000, but a whole 300 billion. He didn’t even utter half a sentence before telling his little follower, ‘For such a trifle, you didn’t even tell ?'”

“Damn, isn’t that a show of dominance? I think it’s sheer dominance. So here’s my advice to those who want to latch onto a powerful leg: from this, you can tell that even if you’re looking for a leg to cling to, or a master to serve, you’d better serve a good one. Soone who does things for you, who shields you from disaster, and doesn’t toss you aside like cannon fodder to take the hits for them when it really counts.”

“Enough said, I’ve decided to beco one of His Highness’s loyal followers too. Damn it, not to ntion anything else, just for this bold gesture alone, I think, even if His Highness’s family might not be very strong now, it’s only a matter of ti before they’ll outshine those so-called nine royal family nas.”

This post quickly caught the attention of many, garnering countless comnts, and instantly beca one of the hot topics. The stir it caused in the entire school goes without saying. Just like the saying in the post, without Finn Lewis’s action, the behavior of the Rochefort Clan would have been described in just one phrase: they had fulfilled their moral obligation to the utmost.

But with Finn Lewis’s action, their family’s behavior instantly seed inferior, because, at the crucial mont, Finn Lewis solved a problem for one of his followers without a second word, while the Rochefort Clan just gave up. The disparity between the two is quite significant.

Therefore, with this comparison made, the reputation of the Rochefort Clan was undoubtedly plumting. Many people initially wanted a backer; why else co to study here if not for forming alliances and seeking patrons? But now the difference seems too great, so many are reconsidering.

Neither Suleiman Cooper nor Alex expected things to develop in this way. Alex’s original plan was to get rid of Finn Lewis’s follower, to set an example and to make it clear to everyone to stay away from Finn Lewis and not to cause trouble for their own families unnecessarily.

But no one expected that the earlier stages of this plan went so smoothly, yet no one could have predicted such a hugely different outco. The gap was simply too great. Mainly because they had completely misjudged Finn Lewis’s reaction. In their eyes, the figure of 300 billion was far too terrifying; they thought that neither Finn Lewis nor anyone else could possibly co up with such funds. But now, clearly, things had taken a turn far beyond their expectations.

“What is this, if not a re 300 billion in funds?” Finn Lewis had directly offered the amount, and he did so without a mont’s hesitation, not even a trace of stumbling, imdiately resolving the issue for Marlon Murray.

Alex’s face was ashen, he had not anticipated such a turn of events. Naturally, he could see the reactions on the school’s forum, and was there any need to say more? It was obvious what people were thinking, yet there was no way for him to refute it, how could he?

Everything had already been done; any attempt to argue would only add to the ridicule. Thus, Alex’s complexion turned very ugly as he had not expected his first clash to end in his defeat.

“Fine, very well, let’s see how much money you really have,” Alex said with a grimace, but then turned to Suleiman Cooper who sat there and shook his head, “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry, out of the 300 billion star credits, keep 1 billion for yourself and hand over the rest to the family.”

“Yes,” Suleiman Cooper dared not object. To be given a billion star credits himself was already extrely thrilling. Although he had been at a disadvantage in this situation, at least he wasn’t without compensation. But deep down, he utterly loathed Finn Lewis for humiliating him so publicly—it was utterly embarrassing to have been brought to such a state by Lewis.

anwhile, Finn Lewis himself almost burst into laughter. Damn, he hadn’t expected soone to actually be boosting his reputation like this—it was an utterly pleasant surprise. Now that things had turned out this way, Lewis certainly wouldn’t miss such a great opportunity; after all, it was he who had Luna Starfield orchestrate the forum post.

Having been exposed to various thods of publicity on Earth, the uproar Lewis’s deed had caused far exceeded his expectations. First of all, nurous news outlets were watching closely, and the massive amount of 300 billion star credits had already beco a newsworthy topic within the Federation.

Many news dia had reported the entire background and fallout of the incident. Of course, Lewis didn’t bother to check which families were behind these news agencies—it was obvious enough, undoubtedly the Locke Family and several other allied families were exerting their influence. If they didn’t seize the opportunity to strike a blow to their opponent’s reputation, they would truly be underestimating them.

Although such a blow to their reputation was not particularly concerning to them, especially for the Rochefort Clan, which didn’t care much about it, and such a sar would hardly cause fatal damage, it was still a hit to their honor.

However, for Finn Lewis, this was an imnse advantage. Marlon Murray ca to find Lewis the very next day and, very straightforwardly, spoke, “Your Highness, this represents the unanimous decision of our family.” The decision that the Ashford Family had made was actually quite simple—they had decided to fully integrate into Finn Lewis’s family. Marlon’s family already bordered Lewis’s, and now, after this incident, their family heads and heavyweights imdiately made their decision.
