Forget Thomas, who was the main recipient of the people’s hostility, even Olivia who was merely a wallflower in this meeting could also feel the heavy miasma of negativity that Thomas was feeling!

She couldn’t help but wonder, what’s the big deal if he didn’t attend the Irieson University of Technology? Is there a law that mandated attending university and prohibited joining the military? No, there was no such thing! Regardless of the choice he made, it was Thomas’ life and whatever life decisions he made had nothing to do with them. Moreover, even if he didn’t go to college, he was still far more capable than them. What kind of looks were they giving him? What qualifications did they have to look down on Thomas?

Declan, sitting in the center, furrowed his brows slightly and turned to look at Thomas. He was also aware of the incident eight years ago. After all, it caused such a big commotion, and even his sister was implicated in it. Nonetheless, what surprised him was that after all this time, Thomas turned out to be the top scorer on the SAT exams back then.

Of course, Declan didn’t dare to resent or despise Thomas. It was true that his sister had been affected by that incident, but he was a reasonable person. The matter with Thomas back then was just a spark that lit the forest fire. The real reasons that led to that tragedy were something else entirely. Even if there was no Thomas, some other Tom, Dick, or Harry would have been involved. Besides, it was out of the question for Declan to be looking down on Thomas as the man had become someone far more remarkable than Declan himself!

The crowd began whispering amongst themselves and all sorts of opinions could be heard as they gradually grew louder and louder in voicing their dissatisfaction.

With that, Thomas spoke up loudly, “Are you lot done with your discussion? If you’re done, give me your answer. Do you want money, or do you want your lives?” He didn’t have the time to spare to engage in a discussion with these people here. He had already made up his mind long before attending this meeting. If he couldn’t get back those assets, he would snap them up! That way they would have no one to blame but themselves if they lose more than those assets he wanted returned. The things he gave to Olivia were not to be touched by anyone!
