77- Financial crisis

Alexander sat before the Academy Council

Although all tests indicated that he had recovered from his injuries, he insisted on using a wheelchair

This left hospital officials speechless

This was the first time they had seen someone able to recover from such severe injuries in one night

However, he refused to leave the hospital except in a wheelchair

Alexander knew he would stand before the Academy Council

He doesn't know what they want from him, but he wants to use this opportunity to get some benefits from the council

He was trying to show them the extent of pain and suffering he went through in order to solve this case

This is why he insists on using a wheelchair

He tells them. 'Guys, I'm badly injured and can't walk properly, don't you think I deserve some kind of reward?'

Alexander could notice a change in the instructors' attitude towards him

They looked at him with appreciation and in a more positive light

Only Frederic maintained his calm stance

But he was not worried. He would try to open the topic calmly and then slowly convince them

Frederic smiled and opened his mouth. “I have to admit, I didn't expect you to come up with such a genius plan.”

These words made Alexander optimistic

It seems that even Frederic is satisfied with him, this will make things easier

Alexander replied respectfully. “It was my duty to help the academy solve this issue that threatens the security and future of the empire.”

All the instructors nodded, satisfied with his answer

Frederic nodded too. "In that case, I think we should end this matter." Frederic looked at Christina. “Christina, please.”

Christina hesitated for a moment, but then got up and handed the tablet to Alexander

Alexander held the tablet with expectant eyes

The first thing Alexander saw was the amount clearly visible on the screen

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Eight hundred thousand coins

Alexander could hardly contain his smile

" this?." Alexander feigned ignorance and asked Frederic

He must not show exaggerated emotions. Otherwise, he will spoil the matter

“This is the result of your work.” Frederic answered simply

“This!.. I don’t deserve this.” Alexander scratched his cheek and pretended to be embarrassed

A strange smile appeared on Frederic's face. “Believe me, you deserve this.”

Alexander resisted the urge to scream in joy. “I will not refuse it as long as you insist.”

Frederic put his chin on his hand and said sarcastically. “So, when do you plan to pay this fine?”

" the fine?." Alexander's smile froze

Frederic's smile widened. "That's right. The amount in front of you is the amount of damage you caused this week."

Alexander's gaze went blank for a moment and he returned his eyes to the tablet screen to confirm the amount

The amount was the same

Eight hundred thousand coins

Alexander's face turned pale. " this!."

He couldn't understand what this old man was talking about

Is this some kind of prank? Because it's not funny

He looked at the instructors worriedly.

Please tell me it's an April Fool's joke

Frederic continued. "You may be wondering where this fine came from. Don't worry, Christina will explain everything to you."

Christina stood up and pointed to a giant screen mounted on the wall. “First we must talk about the damage that occurred in the first year building.”

A picture emerged of the broken walls and broken furniture of the building

" What?!." Alexander jumped from the wheelchair to his feet and shouted angrily. "This is a scam. It was Lily who broke these things, not me."

Frederic pointed his finger at Alexander. “But you are the one who started all of this. Therefore, you are the one who should bear responsibility for these damages.”

" I disagree!." Alexander shouted

Frederic hit the table. "Your objection is rejected."

Christina completed her explanation. “In addition, you must pay compensation to the students you hit.”

"..." Alexander remained silent

Well...that was his fault

Christina explained the damages caused by Alexander and the amount required for everything

Alexander's face was getting darker with each coin added to the final amount

When Christina finished explaining, she quietly returned to her seat

Alexander was looking at the ground and clenching his hands tightly

Even an idiot could see how angry he was

Frederic rubbed his thick mustache upon seeing Alexander's condition and spoke slowly. “Although you caused a lot of damage, you helped us avoid a catastrophe that might threaten the academy system.”

Alexander raised his head and looked at Frederic

He immediately realized that this man still had something to say

Frederic got up from his seat and placed his hands on the table. “For the sacrifice you made for the academy, the academy will pay an amount of seven hundred and fifty thousand coins.”

Alexander's face did not show happiness

On the contrary, his face was getting more annoyed

Alexander defrauded countless people

Therefore, he knows various strategies to deceive others

He knew immediately that this old man had used one of these strategies

First, this scammer shocked him with a huge amount that he could not afford

Then he pretended that he would reduce this amount and asked him to pay the rest

Alexander doesn't remember how many times he used this trick to blackmail others

He never expected that he would be deceived by the same strategy he used to deceive others

"..." Is this what is called karma?

Frederic smiled his provocative smile. " What is your opinion?."

Alexander smiled angrily. “I think it's a cheap trick.”

Frederic responded unfazed. “You have one month to collect fifty thousand coins, otherwise the amount will be doubled.”

Alexander grinded his teeth

This old man was testing the limits of his patience

Frederic disappeared before Alexander could say anything

The instructors looked at Alexander with pity

They know the principal's bad character

He likes to get others into trouble

If he sets his eyes on you, you will face some problems

Alexander turned to the nurse standing behind him. "Get me out of here before I have a heart attack."

The corners of the nurse's mouth twitched

Didn't you jump out of your wheelchair a few moments ago?

The nurse shook her head and silently pushed the wheelchair

Alexander's mood was extremely bad

What made his mood worse were the looks of ridicule and gloating he received from the students who saw him in the wheelchair

Especially the first year students who showed happy expressions when they saw their enemy in such a miserable state

He did not care about these views before because he believed that he would receive a reward for his success in eliminating racism

But now he wanted to punch the arrogant faces of these kids and teach them their true status

Alexander exhaled hard and held back his anger

If he goes out and attacks these students, the compensation amount will increase, and that's the last thing he wants

He should focus on finding a way to obtain the amount of fifty thousand coins within a month. Otherwise, the amount will double, and with it, his problems will double

Alexander's phone suddenly rang

He took the phone out of his pocket and looked at the screen

He took a cold breath when he saw the caller's name

Eric
