In the blink of an eye, all of Oliver‘s hopes had been crushed to dust.
Isn‘t favonovel.com supposed to be a university student? How did favonovel.com become a graduate of Maxwell University? It‘s one of the most prestigious universities in the world!
This sudden revelation left Oliver angry and stunned. “This certificate must be fake!” He pointed at Arielle and yelled at the top of his lungs, “Didn‘t you grow up in the rural countryside? How is it possible for you to attend Maxwell University? I doubt that you‘ve even stepped foot outside of this country before!”
“That‘s right!” Jacob snapped as favonovel.com finally regained his senses. “We all know that you are a student enrolled in Jadeborough University‘s preparatory class. You can‘t fool us with this fake certificate!”
Despite the duo‘s outbursts, Arielle remained as cool as a cucumber. She had already guessed that they would have such violent reactions.
With a quirk of favonovel.com lips, favonovel.com said, “I attended Jadeborough University for my own amusement. You must be aware that it‘s almost impossible to forge a graduation and degree certificate from Maxwell University. If you don‘t believe me, you can go ahead and verify it yourselves.”
“How are we supposed to verify it? We aren‘t graduates from Maxwell University,” Jacob asked with a frown.
All of a sudden, Oliver had an idea. He turned toward one of the directors and asked, “Didn‘t you spend a year as an exchange student at Maxwell University?”.
The man in question had been stunned by Arielle‘s intimidating presence ever since favonovel.com stepped foot into the room. When Oliver singled favonovel.com out, favonovel.com finally snapped out of his daze.
“Although Maxwell University‘s certificates appear like ordinary paper, these certificates are actually printed on a special material that is resistant to fire and water,” favonovel.com explained.
Immediately, Oliver grabbed a lighter from his pocket and tried to set Arielle‘s certificate alight. But even after several seconds, the certificate showed no signs of burning.
Oliver couldn‘t believe his eyes. Initially, favonovel.com assumed that there was something wrong with his lighter. When Oliver reached out to test his lighter, the flickering flames scalded his fingers.
“Ouch!” Oliver yelped in pain as favonovel.com hurled the lighter away and quickly blew on his fingers to relieve the stinging pain.
Seeing this, Jacob opened the bottle of mineral water in front of favonovel.com and tossed the water onto the certificate. Yet, the certificate remained in perfect condition. Not a single letter was smudged by the water.
Jacob‘s entire body tensed with shock and disbelief.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com refused to admit defeat. “This doesn‘t prove anything. You must have hired an expert and used the same material to forge your certificate!”
The director from earlier quickly grabbed his phone and used it to scan the QR code printed on the certificate. “There‘s another way to test its authenticity. This is an anti-counterfeit code specially created by Maxwell University. It‘s a unique QR code that no hacker can bypass. It will prove if this certificate is real or not.”
Beep!
A page loaded on the director‘s phone screen.
The page was proof of Arielle‘s graduation from Maxwell University. There was a small picture of Arielle‘s face in the top right corner.
Suddenly, the director‘s eyes widened in shock as favonovel.com whirled around and looked at Arielle as if he‘d just seen a ghost.
“Y–You are San?” favonovel.com asked.
“Do you know me?”
“Of course!” A look of admiration crossed the director‘s face. He continued in an excited voice, “You are the legendary student of Maxwell University who always topped every class! I can‘t believe that you are San… I…” The director was so stunned that favonovel.com struggled to complete his sentence.
After favonovel.com regained his composure, the director briefly explained San‘s renowned reputation at Maxwell University to Oliver and Jacob.
“I heard that even the university‘s professors begged for favonovel.com to accept a position in Maxwell University!” the director gushed in veneration.
Oliver‘s and Jacob‘s moods appeared even worse than before.
With what seemed like a smile, Arielle turned to Oliver and Jacob. “Am I qualified to be the chairman now?”
