Chapter 51 - 51: The Interest Of The Two Bosses

While Mitchell and Alton were chatting casually, the computer in the office gave off a sound.

"What's the matter?" Mitchell looked at Alton.

"Let me take a look." Alton got up and walked in front of the computer. He saw a message pop-up on his screen.

He scanned the message and felt astounded.

"Old Mitchell, come over and take a look!" he shouted at Mitchell, who was at the side.

Mitchell got up and walked over.

"This person became a martial warrior at 17 years old." Alton was also slightly shocked when he saw the message on the screen.

Upon reading Arius's name, he frowned.

"Arius Amrit. This name sounds a little familiar."

"Oh, do you know him?" Alton asked in surprise.

Mitchell thought for a moment before continuing abruptly, "I remember him. A few days ago, one of my staff handed me a data report. If these two don't share the same surname and name, I think the report I received was about him.

"Open the surveillance camera to take a look. We will know if it's the same person."

Alton operated his computer, and within a second, the scene in Wang Teng's room was projected on the opposite wall.

"That's right; it's him. He looks the same as his picture." Mitchell immediately recognized Arius.

"Oh, right, what report were you talking about just now?"

"The report shows that this fellow rose from a normal person to an advanced stage in less than a month after he joined our martial arts academy," Mitchell replied.

"Haha, Arius must have started his cultivation before he joined your martial arts academy. Look at his background. He's the third generation of Whitebridges Amrit family. His family probably doesn't lack resources and can let him practice martial arts," Alton smiled and said.

"I think so too. At first, I wanted to observe him for a while more, but he has already become a martial warrior. It looks like he's really a genius," Mitchell exclaimed.

It was rare to see a 17 years old martial warrior.

"Seems like there will be a black horse in the martial arts exam this year." Alton smiled.

"Shall we take a look?" Alton tried his best to remain calm and indifferent, but he did seem very interested in this young lad.

"Sure, let's go together."

…

Arius didn't know that the moment he became a martial warrior, he had received the attention of two bosses. It was really scary!

Ten minutes later, the printing of the martial warrior identification was completed.

Looking at the black booklet in his hand, he smiled in glee.

Arius wore his 3D Batman mask and left the martial arts association.

When he returned to the school, the last morning lesson hadn't ended yet. Everyone was still in class, so Arius didn't disturb the teacher's lecture.

He arrived at the little forest and logged in to Amazon. He entered his martial warrior credential and placed his order.

This 'Master Griffin' was quite interesting. He didn't allow his customers to place orders if they didn't have a martial warrior credential. You could be stubborn with anything, but when it came to money, one must be flexible!

Forget it. Looking at the other party's tone, he probably doesn't lack money.

After placing the order, Arius sent a message to hurry the stall owner: I've already placed my order. Please send the item as soon as possible!"

Master Griffin: Alright dear ε=( ́ο`*)))

The other party responded with one sentence.

After some time, the lesson ended. Arius met Saul and his other friends in the cafeteria for lunch. He also saw Harry and Rhett, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.

The moment Harry saw Arius, his face turned black.

After that day, Susie actually came to ask him about Arius.

At first, Susie viewed Harry with high importance. He felt that he had a chance to win the heart of this third young lady from the Moore family. He had his whole life ahead planned. He would marry a rich beauty and proceed to the peak of his life.

The Moore family would definitely be a great help to him.

At that time, he, Harry, would be a famous figure in Whitebride's City. He wouldn't just be a rich second generation relying on his father.

However, Arius, it just had to be Arius again. This fellow had stolen the limelight that was supposed to be his. Even Susie got interested in Arius.

Damn it!

Harry felt annoyed in his heart.

"Young Master Harry, are you here for lunch too?" Arius casually greeted Harry when he saw him.

"Hmph!" Harry scoffed. He walked straight ahead.

"What's the matter? How did I provoke him again?" Arius asked Saul, who was beside him, with a confused expression.

"Who knows!" Saul shrugged.

…

During the afternoon rest time, Arius went to practice in the small forest. He only returned to the classroom when the lesson started.

It was the last day of the week, so he should give some respect to his teacher.

Three lessons ended quickly.

After school, Arius got up and prepared to go home. However, Elaine stopped him.

"Arius, wait for me." She bit her lip and seemed a little embarrassed. But, in the end, she still plucked up her courage and called Arius out.

Arius had already noticed that she was a little absent-minded. Hence, when he saw her calling him, he stopped in his tracks. He wanted to know what she had on her mind.

Elaine finished packing her bag and went out of the classroom with Arius.

The two walked to a secluded spot with no one around.

Elaine started hesitating again, and her expression kept changing. One moment, she seemed helpless, while the next, she looked resolute.

"If you have any difficulties, you can just tell me," Arius said in a soft voice.

Maybe Arius's gentle attitude had caused Elaine to cement her resolve. She took a deep breath and said, "Can you… lend me some money?"

After she said this sentence, Elaine seemed dejected. A hint of helplessness and bitterness flashed past her eyes.

"How much do you need?" Arius suddenly felt something touching his heart when he saw her expression.

This girl had a hard life!

He believed that Elaine must have reached a state of desperation to look for him to borrow money. If not, with her high level of pride, she wouldn't talk to him about this at all.

"23… 23 thousand!" Elaine found it hard to speak. She hurriedly continued, "I know it's a little too much, but I'll definitely return the money to you as soon as possible. After the university entrance exam, I will work part-time. Once I have the money, I will…"

Arius was a little dumbfounded.

He was a bit curious about the reason why Elaine needed such a huge sum of money. However, Arius didn't probe further. He took out his phone and said, "Give me your Paypal account. I will transfer the money to you now."

"…return the money to you!" Elaine heard what Arius said before she finished her sentence. Her eyes turned red, and she took a deep breath to calm down. Then, she forced a smile on her face and said, "Thank you!

"I will return the money to you as soon as possible."

She emphasized this once again, as if this was the only way she was able to keep the remnants of self-esteem left in her heart.

"There's no hurry. Just do what your strength allows." Arius nodded. He scanned her Paypal account and transferred the money over.

Many things were different in this world. For instance, Paypal supported transfers of large sums of money. There was no limit to the sum.

Elaine thanked him once again and held her phone tightly. The 23,000 USD felt extremely heavy in her hand. Their family didn't even have this much savings during their prime.

To a family like Arius's, tens of thousands might just be their pocket money. However, many normal families might not be able to save this amount of money even after many years.

"I wonder what difficulty she's facing."

Arius looked at Elaine's back view as he wondered to himself. He felt a little worried, so he followed her secretly.
