What came into his view was the punctuation â120â written in large red text.
Raymondâs jaw dropped. He swallowed saliva, looked at Fatty and unconsciously asked, âWhat grade is a perfect score?â.
A puzzled Fatty replied, â100 of course!â.
Raymond breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the tutor and said, âSir, even if you try to give Pete an extra score, you sure canât beat the full score. This is an exam with a perfect score of 100, yet he got 120.â
As soon as Raymond said that, the whole room fell silent.
The Hunt children outside the office were completely stunned.
Raymond, however, kept going. He asked, âIs he cheating? Could it be that this is how Pete had gotten all his scores in the past? Justin, as much as you want to emphasize how smart your son is, surely you canât do that, can you?â
He babbled on and on until Fatty, whose expression had already changed beside him, tugged on his arm.
Only then did Raymond stop. He looked at him and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Fatty, who could no longer hold his head up, said, âGrandpa! There are also extra questions on the exam. The extra questions are usually questions that exceed our current level of difficulty and are worth twenty points!â
Raymond, â!â
Stunned, he flipped through the back of the exam. Sure enough, he saw two bonus questions worth ten points each. Pete had answered both correctly.
They were questions beyond his current level of difficulty, and yet, could he answer them perfectly?
Raymond gulped. âHow can this be, didnât they say heâs been playing all month?â
The tutor was now totally convinced. He stood up and said, âMr. Hunt, I used to object to Peteâs gambling, but I didnât expect it wouldnât affect his studies at all. It was worrying me too much.â
As soon as he said that, Mrs. Hunt understood immediately. She immediately burst out laughing, hugged Pete and kept calling him her little baby. She said, âHoly cow, my Pete is so smart. Heâs able to get first place even if he plays for a month. Thatâs what you call a genius Raymond! No matter how hard a normal person tries, he can never catch up with a genius!â
Raymond, â!!!â
He was shushing him with his own words from a moment ago!
Raymond was so furious that even his expression changed. He looked straight at Fatty and smacked him upside the head. âWhat kind of inaccurate information were you giving me?â
Fatty rubbed his head and burst into tears. âHow was I supposed to know that Pete would turn out to be a mutant of that caliber? Heâd actually been playing for a month! Yet his learning progress hadnât lagged behind at all!â
The children around them also sighed in admiration.
âPete is as impressive as ever!â
âIâm so impressed!â
âNo wonder Mom and Dad say Peter is a genius! Iâm sure in the future the Hunts will do even better in his hands!â
ââ¦â
Raymond had originally come originally to blow things up, and as he had expected, things had indeed blown up. Instead, however, he had given Peter even more prestige!
He had shot himself in the foot.
He was so furious that he pulled Fattyâs ears. âSo, the exam is over, is it? Then come with me!â
âGrandpa, donât be so hard! It hurts!â
A hint of murderous intent and coldness shone in Justinâs eyes as he watched the couple walk away. However, when he saw Mrs. Hunt, he hid the emotions in his eyes.
Since his grandmother was still present, he would eventually have to show some mercy to certain people.
He got up and walked Mrs. Hunt home. Then, he drove Pete to the Quinn School of Martial Arts.
As Quinn was greeting Pete, Justin deliberately gave him a reminder and said, âRemember to let Miss Smith know youâve come for training.â
Pete was puzzled. âWhy?â
Itâs to see if sheâs coming to get you or not, of course! So you can switch places with Cherry!
Justin didnât voice that thought aloud, however. Instead, he looked down dispassionately and said, âLet her know that youâre working hard to become a man and that youâll protect her in the future. Donât you want her to be your mom? You have to cultivate feelings.â
â⦠Oh.â
He couldnât help but feel that the tyrant was acting strangely. Had he figured something out? Surely not, right?
But when he looked at the tyrantâs expression, he found that his eyes were deep-set and his countenance expressionless. He couldnât make out anything.
Pete couldnât make out what he was thinking, so he just walked into the Quinn School of Martial Arts.
Justin turned and walked away. As he was rounding the corner, a car drove past his and stopped at the entrance to the Quinn School of Martial Arts.
Paul got out of the car and straightened his suit. Then, he walked to the entrance and went inside.
It could be said that Paul was the best among all the unofficial disciples of the Quinn Martial Arts School. Therefore, the sect used to show him some courtesy. Seeing that he was here, Luke himself came over to greet him.
Paul asked, âWhere is Master? I will go and pay him a visit.â
Luke replied, âAt the moment he is teaching martial arts to the young people, and he has forbidden others to disturb them.â
Paul frowned. âA junior? When did he ever take another disciple?â
Luke smiled and replied, âHe took one recently. Our first elder, Big Sister, is too lazy to take over the sect, so Master has no choice but to look for a little disciple. He calls him his little disciple, but heâs actually training a successor for Big Sister!â
The first senior discipleâ¦
It was known to all that the Quinn School of Martial Arts had a Big Sister. She was a disciple Quinn had taken twenty years ago. However, her identity was a mystery, and no one had ever seen her, except for a select few people.
Nevertheless, the words of the legendary Big Sister carried a lot of weight at the Quinn School of Martial Arts.
Paul grabbed Lucas and said, âSince weâve been classmates for so many years, can you tell me who Big Sister is? Lest we get into friendly fire and end up attacking our own.â
The Quinn School of Martial Arts held a position of great weight in the pugilistic world. Its direct disciples were not allowed to operate in other outside industries.
Paul and Jordan had created their own factions in the pugilistic world and specialized in helping others do things that were uncomfortable for themselves. They were considered underworld forces. This violated the tenets of the Quinn School of Martial Arts, so Paul had never become an official disciple in all this time. Instead, he remained an unofficial titular disciple.
Of course, Quinn also felt that he pursued material things excessively, so he had always disliked him.
Lucas smiled and said, âI canât tell you that.â
He led Paul into the reception room of the Quinn School of Martial Arts and changed the subject. He said, âBy the way, your request for five additional spots has been turned down by the official disciples.â
Paul narrowed his eyes. âOh, why not, from what I remember, Master doesnât worry about trivial matters like that.â
Luke smiled and replied, âIt was an order from Big Sister.â
Paul knew immediately that it was a lost cause as soon as he heard that. Big Sister had always kept her word.
After a brief moment of hesitation, he said, âSince Big Sister had given the order, and the cult had rejected my sonâs friends, the cult wouldnât accept any other children either, would it?â
Luke lifted his chin and replied, âOf course.â
Paul nodded. âVery well, then.â
Pulling strings for his son was only his secondary goal in coming here. More important was keeping in touch with the Quinn School of Martial Arts. Even if he couldnât get five other places for his son, he could at least make sure Cherry, or whatever her name was, couldnât bring anyone either. This way, his son wouldnât be embarrassed. So, he didnât bother them any more about it.
He got up, looked at the training gym and headed straight there. He said, âHow about letting me take a look at who Masterâs new disciple is, Lucas? I want to see who it is that can get Master to teach him personally.â
