"Pff!" Rebecca stifled a laugh, "This kid is really interesting. It's the first time I've seen someone dare to call the governor a 'bastard.'"
[Rich Big Sis: Huh! That bastard has a very high status. If he finds out you insulted him, he might kill your entire family.]
Negut: "..."
Reading the message from his secret friend, Negut smirked disdainfully, thinking to himself, 'How high can his status be compared to my father?'
[Harem Lord: Huh! Whoever dares to mess with you, I'll insult them.]
[Rich Big Sis: Wow! But can you do anything other than insult?]
[Harem Lord: …]
[Harem Lord: So what do you want me to do? Alright, quit your job there, and I can make you my personal secretary.]
[Rich Big Sis: Look at my nickname again. Even if I quit, I have enough money to be your sugar mommy.]
[Harem Lord: Wow! Are you that rich? Just so you know, I spend a lot of money every month.]
[Rich Big Sis: I'll give you 10,000 credit points per month. If you think that's too little, I'll add another zero.]
[Harem Lord: Wow! 100,000 credit points per month?]
[Rich Big Sis: No, I'll give you 10,000 credit points over 10 months.]
[Harem Lord: …]
[Harem Lord: Are you kidding me? ((╬◣﹏◢))]
[Rich Big Sis: Hahahaha... alright, I need to work, bye bye!]
[Harem Lord: Get lost!]
Rebecca smiled as she looked at the chat window on her phone, muttering, "My little man... wait until we meet; I'll definitely give you a surprise."
Negut also smiled as he looked at his phone. At least... in this world, he had a friend.
He rested his chin on his hand, looking out the car window, muttering, "I hope... I can live long enough to meet you."
…
The principal began to pack up everything in his office, his eyes looking soulless.
He had held the position of principal for over 20 years, achieving many successes and earning a lot of money.
However, it was all over. He knew... when he made a mistake involving Negut, not only his life but also his family's would be engulfed by Negut's wrath.
The principal hated Negut but also hated himself for being foolish. He didn't understand why he favoured that young man.
Even though he knew the young man had once beaten Negut, he ignored it and didn't address the issue.
Moreover, he continued to favour Alec.
The principal sighed; if there were a remedy for regret in this world, he wouldn't be so despondent and hopeless.
Crack!
Suddenly, the door opened once again. The principal saw Uncle Wells standing at the door and was startled, stammering, "Butler, you... I'm sorry, I... I'm packing up, I..."
Uncle Wells stepped into the room and then locked the door. The principal, seeing Uncle Wells' actions, became terrified.
He knew who Negut's father was and how terrifying his status was. Even if Wells killed him right now, no one would dare to investigate the case.
"You... you..." the principal stammered. Although he was a level 30 mage, facing Uncle Wells, he felt like an ant.
Fear and despair spread throughout his mind, causing his body to tremble.
Uncle Wells glanced at the principal with sharp eyes, then said, "Principal, my young master is giving you a way out."
"What?!" The principal was startled, looking at Uncle Wells with a face full of astonishment.
Uncle Wells continued, "You didn't hear wrong. My young master is very kind-hearted, so he doesn't want to push you to your death."
"Therefore, the young master has given you a chance. Do you know Safe Zone 27?"
The principal tried to calm down and nodded slightly, "Yes... I know that area. It's a safe zone that was developed four years ago."
"That's right," Uncle Wells nodded slightly. "However, not many people live there because the safety of the area is still not guaranteed."
"Occasionally, there are void monster attacks. Are you... afraid?"
The principal quickly responded, "Butler, please don't say that. Compared to prison, moving to the safe zone is a thousand times better."
The principal knew very well that imprisonment wasn't just about being locked in a cell, especially for survivors.
Survivors who broke the law were sent to a special area to fight monsters and harvest 'Energy Crystal' to support the development of the safe zone.
In fact, during these battles, criminal survivors weren't allowed to carry any weapons or equipment.
The mortality rate was over 90%.
Given the principal's age and level, he knew that being sent to the Survivor prison was equivalent to a death sentence.
He feared he wouldn't survive until the end of his sentence.
On the other hand, the safe zone was different. Although it occasionally faced void monster attacks, it was still a much safer place.
Even other survivors could come to the new safe zone to hunt monsters.
The principal knew this well, so he immediately accepted Uncle Wells' request.
Seeing this, Uncle Wells continued, "Of course, the young master is very kind-hearted, and he also appreciates your talents."
"Therefore, the young master allows you to take all your assets to the new safe zone, and he will not pursue the matter of your embezzlement of public and charity funds."
The principal's mouth dropped open; he didn't expect Negut to make such a decision.
Moving to the new safe zone wasn't a punishment; on the contrary, it was a benefit for him.
Uncle Wells frowned and said, "However... I hope you understand clearly... everything you have is thanks to him, understand?"
"I hope... you can make my young master satisfied."
After saying this, Uncle Wells left the room.
The principal sat down in his chair, starting to ponder Uncle Wells' words: 'Make the young master satisfied... could it be... Wells means to let me operate freely?'
'If I satisfy the young master, perhaps in the future, the young master will notice and help me more.'
'It must be so. The young master has given me a chance; now is the time to show him... I am not a traitor.'
The principal took out his phone and called all the charity organisations.
"Hello! Is this the 'Silver Star' charity organisation?"
"Yes, I want to change the donor's name for all charity projects to 'Van Negut'. Yes, I want to add another million credit points to the charity project."
"Hello! Is this the 'Little Angel' charity organization? I want to change the donor's name to 'Van Negut'. Yes, I will donate more."
"No need to put my name on it; I am just working for the young master. Yes, change all previous projects to the young master's name."
After many calls, the principal now had a smile on his face, muttering, "Young master, you have given me this new opportunity; I will definitely seize it."
…
At a convenience store.
Meika carried a box into the storage room. Although the box was quite heavy, her face showed no signs of discomfort or fatigue.
On the contrary, it was a face full of excitement and joy.
This convenience store wasn't large, but the salary she received was quite high.
Compared to workers who had to work 12-16 hours a day, 6 days a week, her job was very light.
Sometimes, the store manager even gave her a little extra if the store's revenue was better.
Thanks to this, she could easily cover all living expenses and tuition fees for her brother.
Meika walked to the storage room and saw the door slightly ajar, frowning.
She feared that a thief might have broken in because the storage room door was always supposed to be locked. Of course, only store employees had the key to open the storage room.
But Meika remembered that all the employees were in the store, and she was the only one who had to bring the boxes into the storage room.
"Young master, don't worry; Meika won't suspect anything."
A familiar voice suddenly came from inside the storage room.
Meika was startled when she recognised the manager's voice and even more surprised to hear him talking to someone on the phone, mentioning her name.
She gently placed the box on the ground, then quietly approached the storage room door. She peeked through the gap and saw the manager holding the phone, speaking to someone.
However, the manager's attitude was extremely respectful, as if the person he was talking to held a very high status.
"Yes," the manager said with a smile, "I have increased her salary significantly, and I have also given her many bonuses. Don't worry, young master."
'What?!' Meika thought, shocked, 'The reason the manager increased my salary is because of this person he calls young master?'
'Could it be... just as my brother said, the manager treats me well for some reason?'
"I know... her situation is very pitiful. Her real parents were killed by someone else; she is indeed very miserable."
"Yes. Young master, don't worry; I will definitely help her earn enough income to cover all expenses."
"Moreover, Meika will have enough money for her useless brother to attend Survivor Academy."
"Ah! Meika is so pitiful; she works so hard, but her useless brother wastes that money on gambling."
"Yes, I won't tell Meika about this, young master; don't worry."
"Alright, I will give her an additional bonus, but... hahahaha..."
Meika covered her mouth tightly as she was unable to believe what she was hearing.
But when she saw the manager end the call, she quickly ran into the employee changing room.
The manager went outside, saw the box placed on the ground, and smiled with satisfaction.
He took out his phone and sent a message to a group chat: [Mission accomplished.]
