Chapter 20

This kind of thing is the most popular at Yuhuang Academy. After all, people who love to watch the drama never think things are too big, especially since most of the students at Yuhuang Academy are spoiled rich kids.

But at this moment, everyone was stunned, because everything changed so quickly. No one expected that James Carter didn’t dodge, didn’t come out to talk to Benjamin Scott, didn’t even fight back—instead, he just let his spirit beast carriage crash into them and send them flying.

If things went badly, someone could have been killed. If a spirit beast carriage really broke free and went berserk, even people at the Divine Power Realm wouldn’t be able to subdue it. Normally, when someone saw a person who could use a spirit beast carriage, they would keep their distance.

Only James Carter—others wouldn’t care, but no one expected him to be so... fierce today.

What was even more unexpected was that after sending people flying, James Carter actually just tossed out some gold notes and left.

He left... he left...

This is just... too much, isn’t it? This guy actually...

That style, that swagger—compared to coming out and beating someone up, compared to ordering his men to do it, this was way more arrogant. Since when did James Carter become... become this cool?

The people nearby were all dumbfounded. At this moment, some of Benjamin Scott’s followers who weren’t badly hurt—who knows what got into them—didn’t go over to help Benjamin Scott like the others. Instead, they casually picked up the gold notes.

“Young master, this is...”

“Damn it, fuck you, you actually went to pick up money? Does my The Scott Family lack that little bit of money? You dare to pick up money, you—” Benjamin Scott, in so much pain from being hit, was furious that his follower would do such a thing at this moment. He immediately took out his anger on this guy. As he was helped up, tears streaming from the pain, he kicked the guy flying and cursed angrily.

But as soon as he got angry, the injury on his chest was aggravated, and he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, scaring his followers into quickly carrying him off for treatment.

At this moment, James Carter was lying in the carriage, feeling a bit better. It seemed that venting really was a good way to relieve stress. Just like when he first arrived in this world and had an outburst with Second Elder William Carter and the others.

Since he had already become James Carter, since he was already a member of this circle of spoiled brats, James Carter would absolutely not be a bullied, cowardly rich kid. If he was going to be a cowardly rich kid, he might as well be an ordinary person who kept to himself.

If you don’t want to be bullied, don’t want to be a cowardly rich kid, then you have to be even more of a rich kid than the rest. He had the means to do so. The former James Carter didn’t know how to use it, but he definitely wouldn’t be like that.

“Uncle Benjamin, nice job.” Thinking of what just happened, James Carter felt both satisfied and grateful for Uncle Benjamin’s help.

No hesitation, executed immediately, and with just the right amount of force.

In James Carter’s memory, it seemed he hadn’t communicated with Uncle Benjamin before. Uncle Benjamin used to drive for his father, John Carter, because not just anyone could control a spirit beast carriage—it was very special, so Uncle Benjamin’s status was also unique.

Back then, John Carter had instructed that Uncle Benjamin was only responsible for operating the spirit beast carriage and only needed to answer to the family head. So, in the The Carter Family, Uncle Benjamin didn’t have to pay attention to anyone except the family head.

And Uncle Benjamin never spoke, always wearing a huge hat, always leaning against the spirit beast carriage when there was nothing to do. The former James Carter had tried to communicate with Uncle Benjamin, but always failed—inviting him to meals, giving him things, talking to him—none of it worked.

Nice job? Sitting in the front, controlling the spirit beast carriage and gradually arriving at James Carter’s residence, Uncle Benjamin was slightly taken aback. What does “nice job” mean?

He still didn’t say anything, but thinking of the scene just now, a hint of surprise and a faint smile appeared on the face beneath the huge straw hat. That’s how the head of the The Carter Family should be.

Uncle Benjamin didn’t reply, and James Carter didn’t press further. He got out of the carriage, politely called out loudly for Uncle Benjamin to go rest, and then stepped into the residence that had taken four months to build.

When attending school, he had chosen a spot in the academy to build his own place. Even though this was Yuhuang Academy, a school for spoiled brats, this was still a pretty outrageous and famous thing to do. James Carter remembered that because of this, the original James Carter had been scolded by the second elder and the others for four hours.

Of course, James Carter also remembered clearly that the one who encouraged him to build a house in this slightly remote spot was the ‘Mr. Grant’ by his side. Back then, this guy had talked a really good game.

“Boss, you’re finally back! This time you broke the record. These elders sure have stamina—two days and a night! Don’t tell me they’re cutting the budget again? Damn, if they really cut it again, what will happen to my research? If this keeps up, we won’t even be able to afford food!” As expected, the chubby, fair-skinned Edward Grant came running up.

Seeing that James Carter didn’t reply, Edward Grant thought he’d been scolded again and had his budget cut.

Looking at Edward Grant, James Carter laughed and said, “I think you shouldn’t call me Boss, just call me meal ticket. Look at how pained you look every time the budget gets cut.”
