Chapter 213: Chapter 213 - Presumed Dead
When everyone heard this, they all turned to look.
The man was none other than the school principal.
The principal gasped for breath as he rushed over quickly.
"Principal, h-how did you get here?" Mr. Gordon said in surprise.
The principal glared at Mr. Gordon and said in a cold voice, "You have been abusing your connections in the school. I am announcing now that you have been fired!"
When Mr. Gordon heard this, his face turned extremely ugly!
This school was a top-tier aristocratic school in Chuzzle, and Mr. Gordon had made a lot of money through his connections there!
What’s more, Mr. Gordon believed that his job was a stable one, so he had taken out loans to buy many luxury goods.
If he was fired now, he would no doubt be in debt!
"Principal, I... I understand now, please don’t fire me..." Mr. Gordon said with a panicked expression.
The principal didn’t pay him any heed. Instead, his eyes fell upon me, and he said with an embarrassed smile, "You must be Mr. Mason Raymond, right?"
I nodded slightly, my face cold, "It seems that your school is nothing more than an empty shell."
The principal’s face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Raymond, this is absolutely an exception! I guarantee there won’t be a next time!"
I sneered.
I glanced at Teacher Seth not far away, saying, "Is someone like her really qualified to teach? She can’t even be fair and just when faced with a group of elementary school students. Can she really teach them well?"
Teacher Seth’s face turned deathly pale in an instant!
It was at this moment that she finally understood that the young man in front of her had far more power than Mr. Gordon!
"Mr. Raymond, I... I failed to recognize a great person like you. Rest assured, from now on, I will definitely give special attention to Erin..." Teacher Seth said in a hurry.
I sneered, "It seems you don’t understand what I’m trying to say."
"It’s because of teachers like you that bad social practices arise."
"Just get lost."
Teacher Seth still wanted to say something, but the principal scolded, "Why haven’t you scrammed yet? You are an embarrassment!"
With one sentence, Mr. Gordon and Teacher Seth were both fired.
Although they were unwilling to accept it, they had no alternative.
After driving them away, I looked at the principal.
"Principal, you should pay more attention to the atmosphere in your school in the future," I said with a dark face.
The principal wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, I certainly will..."
Then, I ignored the principal.
I bent down to look at Erin and laughed, "Let’s go, big brother will take you to eat. What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat hot pot!" Erin said excitedly.
I nodded, "Alright, hot pot it is!"
I purposely did not let Victor Green drive, but instead had him sit in the back with Erin.
The car sped all the way to the largest hot pot restaurant in the city.
"What do you want to eat, just order," I handed the menu to Erin.
It seemed that Erin was a bit restrained, and it was apparent that her personality was introverted.
"It’s okay, Mr. Raymond has a lot of money, just order whatever you want," Victor Green said with a smile.
Erin nodded and, with Victor Green’s words, she relaxed a lot more.
After she finished ordering, Erin asked cautiously, "Mr. Raymond, are you my brother’s new boss?"
Boss?
I raised my eyebrows and couldn’t help but laugh.
I reached out and patted Erin’s head, saying, "No, your brother and I are friends."
"Wow, really?!" Erin was suddenly overjoyed.
"Of course, if you don’t believe me, just ask your brother." I laughed.
Victor Green couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed and subconsciously cast a grateful look at me.
Soon, all kinds of ingredients were served.
I loved hot pot myself, so the entire table of food was nearly wiped clean.
After dinner, I took Erin back to school.
"If anything happens, just tell your brother, and don’t be afraid." Before leaving, I reminded her.
Erin nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Big Brother Mason Raymond!"
After sending Erin away, Victor Green and I left the school by car.
We returned to the hotel.
I took out the Schroeder Family file and studied it carefully.
Now, my memory was beyond imagination, and almost after flipping through it once, I committed all the locations to my mind.
"Mr. Raymond, I never thought you could get to where you are today," Victor Green sighed softly lying in bed at night.
I shook my head and said, "This is nothing, there are always higher levels and stronger people out there."
If I were content with my current achievements, I would never be able to step into Capital City and compete with the aristocratic families there.
When dealing with the Schroeder Family, I already felt overwhelmed.
However, the Schroeder Family had almost no chance in front of Capital City’s aristocratic families.
This was the gap.
"Let’s go to bed, we’ll head back to River City tomorrow," I said.
River City was relatively more peaceful, and many people had been injured because of me during this time, so I had to take responsibility for them.
The next morning.
After waking up, Victor Green and I drove to River City.
Several hours later, the car entered River City’s territory.
"Mr. Raymond, are we going straight home?" Victor Green asked.
I thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go to the factory first, I have something I need to ask Elder Drake."
"Alright," Victor Green agreed.
Next, the car sped towards the factory.
The factory was unchanged, with the warehouse still full of herbs.
However, when I entered the factory, the looks the workers had for me were very strange.
Some were frightened, some were excited, and some were astonished.
"What’s going on?" I scratched my head, not quite understanding.
"I don’t know. I think it’s strange too," Victor Green murmured.
He casually stopped a worker and asked, "Is Elder Drake in his office?"
The worker, scared pale, stuttered, "I... I don’t know."
He then took off running.
"This is really strange," I muttered.
The two of us walked towards Elder Drake’s office.
As soon as we arrived at the office doorway, I saw four burly men standing there.
Upon closer look, I realized I knew these people.
"Woods Walters’ men?" I couldn’t help but laugh.
"It seems that Woods Walters is pretty cautious, sending people to protect Elder Drake in advance."
However, the looks these four men gave me were as if they were seeing a ghost!
"Old thing, you better behave, or we’ll kill you!" At this moment, angry shouting came from the office.
"Let me tell you, Mason Raymond is already dead, and now it’s our Manager Caldwell who calls the shots!"
"If you work obediently for Manager Caldwell, he might still give you something to eat; otherwise... beware of your whole family!"
Hearing this, my face turned cold instantly.
I hurriedly pushed open the office door.
Inside the office, two burly men glared menacingly at Elder Drake.
Elder Drake cowered in the corner, shivering, with visible injuries on his body.
