Chapter 657 -67: The Biggest Winner_2

Elizabeth stood quietly, not saying a word. At that moment, some high-ranking officials from the school began to appear, including Tang Dun, president of Lucas University.

Whispers spread among the students instantly. The students of Lucas University were very dissatisfied with the school’s top management over this incident.

President Tang Dun walked straight to the front and then bowed deeply to all the students. The people behind him did the same, causing a stir as the media frantically took photos.

Were they apologizing?

However, an apology alone might not suffice to resolve the situation. With the students of Lucas University in turmoil, if nobody came forward to take responsibility, both students and faculty might remain unsatisfied.

“I am very sorry for what happened. As president of Lucas University, I take full responsibility. I have let down Lucas University,” Tang Dun said, addressing the students below. “Fortunately, in the wake of this incident, I have seen the bravery and fearlessness of the students of Lucas University, and I am proud of you.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

With that, Tang Dun looked towards Elizabeth and bowed, causing her to start in surprise, as he continued, “Thank you, Miss Elizabeth, for everything you have done for Lucas University.”

Both Elizabeth and the students below fell silent upon hearing Tang Dun’s words. Elizabeth had exposed the school’s scandal and sought justice for Lucas University through public opinion. Yet, President Tang Dun of Lucas University was expressing gratitude to her.

Was this sincere?

“The school’s handling of this incident was inappropriate, largely due to my failure as the person in charge. I cannot shirk the blame, but the school itself is not at fault. Lucas University remains the best school on Lucas Star, thanks to everyone present. I hope this incident does not affect your feelings for the school, and I believe that after this, Lucas University will emerge better,” he continued.

Tang Dun went on to say, “I will resign as president of Lucas University. Someone more suitable will take my place and lead Lucas University to greater heights.”

After speaking, Tang Dun bowed once more and then turned to leave.

Many people followed him out, leaving the students in a state of shock.

This made them feel that perhaps President Tang Dun too had his hands tied.

After Tang Dun and his entourage had left, the students below erupted into noisy debate.

Watching Tang Dun’s receding figure, Elizabeth began to understand some of the intricacies; he might have been caught up in the situation too, but regardless, he indeed bore some responsibility.

Someone had to be accountable for the incident.

She descended the stairs, and the students made way for her. But at that moment, several figures approached Elizabeth, one of them stepping in front of her.

“Professor Luke.” The students were momentarily taken aback, recognizing the figure. He had been dismissed by the school and had paid a price for his impulsiveness, but in everyone’s eyes, Professor Luke was a Warrior who had stood up for Wal’s justice and for the students, even going as far as to kill Nilo.

“Miss Elizabeth,” Luke said, bowing.

“Professor Luke,” Elizabeth replied, returning the courtesy.

“Miss Elizabeth need not call me ‘Professor’ any longer; I have been dismissed by the school and am no longer part of Lucas University. I thank you for this—Miss Elizabeth.” Luke bowed deeply.

“Mr. Luke, as a member of Lucas University, this was what I should do. Not just me, but many students in the school have also strived hard for this cause,” Elizabeth said.

“Indeed,” Luke felt deeply moved, looking around at the students with gratitude.

He held great respect for the students’ actions this time.

“What plans do you have, Mr. Luke?” Elizabeth asked.

“I haven’t decided yet, but taking care of myself shouldn’t be too difficult,” Luke said with a smile.

“Mr. Luke, Blue Star Energy Technology Group invites you to join us. The compensation will not be less than what you had at the university. You may want to consider it,” Elizabeth said.

Lucas was startled, and the students around them also showed surprise. The Blue Star Energy Technology Group—they had almost forgotten—that company was indeed a perfect fit for Professor Luke.

“Luke, with Princess Elizabeth taking such good care of you, do you even need to consider it?” The voice came from someone standing behind Luke.

Even though the current tumult seemed to have temporarily settled, the Baloma Kingdom might still seek retribution against Luke.

Joining Blue Star Energy Technology Group would not only resolve his employment issue but also provide him protection. This was a no-brainer.

“Wouldn’t it trouble Miss Elizabeth?” Luke was not averse to the idea.

“If Mr. Luke were to join, I am sure Blue Star Energy Technology Group would be very pleased, and Mr. Ross, the president of Blue Star Energy Technology, is also an alumnus of our school,” Elizabeth responded with a smile.

“All right,” Luke replied without any pretense, accepting the offer.

He owed a great debt of gratitude this time and could only repay it through his work.

“How many people does Blue Star Energy Technology Group need?” someone behind Luke inquired.

Elizabeth was caught off guard and replied, “We’re open to as many as possible.”

“We also plan to resign,” many people said. Some things, once occurred, cannot be undone. They would leave with Luke.

Elizabeth was a little pleased and said, “The doors of Blue Star Energy Technology Group will always be open to the teachers and students of Lucas University. You don’t have to worry about the compensation.”

Blue Star Energy Technology Group was not short on funds at the moment.

The students around were moved by this gesture. It seemed that Lucas University had disappointed many this time, possibly even leading to a collective resignation.
