""stated with an air of pride."Another member of the Student Union? What do you want from me? Out with me? Speak up,""it," Eric replied coldly.

responded, his tone frosty.Eric had no interest in these Student Union officials whatsoever. James's face darkened when he sawat Eric's dismissive attitude towards him.

.The purple-haired woman with purple hair next tobeside him even rebuked, ""Do you"How dare to speak toyou address our leader like that?in such a manner? Are you asking for trouble?""

""courting disaster?""A head of a school's Learning Department acting like a leader?

""He even dared to threaten the Threatening students,""?" Eric couldn't help but laugh.

chuckle.In the past, Eric might have been afraid of intimidated by these so-called student union cadres.

But now, Eric found it ridiculous, that their arrogance laughable. The audacity of a school student union cadre could be so arrogant. Absolutelyto act so high and mighty was simply absurd!

In Eric's current position, he didn't even consider James important.

""You are verya threat."You're quite arrogant, no wonder Luis toldasked me to deal withhandle you,""," James sneered.

James and Luis arewere friends. Before Luis took a leave of absence, he had foundasked James and asked him to keep an eye on Eric. OnceIf Eric violated any school rules, James wouldwas to seize the opportunity to strikeretaliate against Eric, preferably to the point of expulsion.

""correct?""I'm not deliberately looking for troublepicking a fight with you, I'm just followingmerely enforcing the rules.

If it exceeds 30 hours, you'll be expelled!""expulsion is the consequence!" James proudly declared.

""Expelling triumphantly."Expel me? Do you have thatthe authority?"" to do so?" Eric coldly smiled.

retorted, a cold smile playing on his lips.Eric knewwas well aware that James was here forto exact revenge on behalf of Luis.

"""The attendance record is one offalls under the responsibilitiesjurisdiction of the Department of Studies. I have alreadyI've recorded all the time you've skipped classes. As long as your absences. Once I report it, the school will definitelyundoubtedly expel you!""!" James said while smiling, raisingstated, a smug smile on his face as he brandished the attendance book in his hand.

.After a moment's pause, James continued arrogantly continued, "", "Dare to oppose the student union, and this is your fate! The student union isn't something you can mess with!""

""!""Is that so?""?" Eric laughed. It was indeed revenge.

""a vendetta."You can still laugh? Don't you know that you will soon berealize you're on the verge of being expelled from the school?""?" The purple-haired girl with purple hair sneered beside them.

""."Well, let me put it this way, if you canmanage to expel me, I will consider it my loss,""I'll concede defeat," Eric replied indifferently.nonchalantly.

James originally thoughthad initially believed that as long as he usedby wielding the attendance book to threaten Eric, Eric would definitely be scared and dropping to their knees whileas a threat, he could coerce Eric into submission. He had expected Eric to crumble in fear, begging for mercy. However, Eric seemed unaffected, which was beyondYet, to his surprise, Eric remained unshaken, a reaction that completely defied his expectations.

""You... Aren't"Are you not afraid of being expelled?""expulsion?" James asked with a dark expression.

""inquired, his face a mask of grim displeasure."If I'm afraid, then I wouldfear ruled me, I'd be a fool,"" Eric smiled and," Eric retorted, a smile playing on his lips as he shrugged.

""You... You're still so arrogant! Just wait, I will report nonchalantly."Your arrogance knows no bounds! I'll see to it that the school expels you today and have them expel you!""!" James angrily declared.

"""The Principal!""

!" James, the Minister of Studies, and thea purple-haired girl with purple hair immediatelyinstantly recognized the middle-aged man in the suit. He was none other than the President of New York University.

Instantly Without wasting a moment, James quickly put on a flatteringplastered a sycophantic smile on his face and wentscurried over to greet him.

"""Good afternoon, Principal, good afternoon! I am! I'm James, the Minister of the Academic Department of the Student Council.""

After James approached, he quickly greeted the principal, with a very flattering attitude.

""," he introduced himself, his tone dripping with obsequiousness."Principal, good afternoon!""!" The purple-haired girl with purple hair also greeted the principal with a smile.

""Hmm."" The principal responded casually with a simple sound, then continued walking forward, clearly just going through the motions.

After all, the principal encounters so manychimed in, her smile matching James's in its forced brightness."Hmm," was the Principal's casual response, his attention already drifting elsewhere. His lackluster response was hardly surprising. Given the sheer number of students greeting him every day, so it is normal he encountered daily, it was only natural for him to respond perfunctorily. Therefore, James and the girl with purple hair-haired girl, therefore, didn't feel disappointed.

At the same time, James sneered in histake it to heart, thinking.Inwardly, James sneered, 'Eric, this jerk is such an idiot. Hethat fool, didn't even have the sense to greet the principal when he saw him. It servesprincipal. Serves him right for being so ordinary.'

Not two No sooner had the Principal taken a few steps after the principal walked away, he sawspotted Eric.

"""Mr. Phillips? Good afternoon, Mr. Phillips!""

The principal quickly smiled and walked up to Eric, actively!" His face broke into a warm smile as he approached Eric, his greeting brimming with genuine friendliness. The sight left James and the purple-haired girl dumbstruck. What was happening? Why was the principal greeting himthis nobody with a very friendly attitude.

James and the girl with purple hair were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

What was going on?

Did the principal just greet this jerk of a person on his own initiative? And his attitude was so respectful?!

""such respect? "Principal, you seem to be in a good mood today,""," Eric responded with a, his smile.

""Haha, I'm in a good mood because I've seen matching the principal’s."Indeed, Mr. Phillips. Seeing you,"" the principal said with a has certainly brightened my day," the principal replied, his smile.

unwavering.The unexpected flattery left James and the girl with purple hair's pupils twitched,-haired girl reeling. Their faces mirrored their faces filled with disbelief.Oh my god, the principal actually flattered him on his own initiative? This scene was like a heavy bomb that severely The principal, of all people, was flattering Eric? The revelation hit them! like a ton of bricks. What on earth was going on? James kept shouting in his happening? James's mind.

The principal continued with was a smile, ""whirlwind of confusion."By the way, Mr. Phillips, what arebrings you doing here?""

""?" The principal inquired, his smile still in place."These two members of the Student Council stopped me here, saying that I skipped class and threatenedwere threatening to report me to getfor skipping class and have me expelled from school. Since you're here, perhaps you happened to pass by, should you not dismiss me?""could intervene?" Eric said withsuggested, a playful smile.

""Dismissal? tugging at his lips."Expulsion? Mr. Phillips, what doare you mean?talking about? No one can dismissexpel you!""!" The principal laughed awkwardly.

Last timeIn the past, when Eric had donated a whopping ten million dollars, the principal promised Ericprincipal had assured him that no matter how much he skippedamount of class, Eric-skipping would not be expelled.

That wasn't the point. The point waslead to his expulsion. But that the principal already knewwasn't the crux of the matter. The principal was well aware of Eric's true identity.

After Eric's generous donation, the principal askedprincipal had instructed his secretary to retrievedig up Eric's file. However, the file showedIt revealed that Eric had nowas of unknown identity and camehailed from a pooran impoverished family.So Undeterred, the principal continued to havePrincipal had the secretary investigate, and just acontinue the investigation. A few days ago, the secretarytruth had finally found the resultcome to light. Eric was the newly appointed cChairman of the Power Group and the grandson of Sean Williams!

Then, the principalprincipal utterly astounded.He turned his head to look atface James, the Minister of the Academic Department, and the purple-haired deputy of the Academic Department.

""Yougirl, his gaze stern."Were you two were the ones who proposed to dismissplanning on expelling Mr. Phillips?"" The principal asked sternly, with a questioning tone in?" His voice was stern, a hint of accusation lacing his voice.

Despite their attemptspetrified. No matter how much they tried to make a fuss aboutblow Eric's misdemeanor, they couldn't communicate the same level of importance as Eric's out of proportion, it paled in comparison to the weight of his background.".
