With that, both of them then left the classroom.
“I thought you were here on vacation. Pray tell, why are you doing in this university?”
“To get an education of course. Actually, I should be asking you that question. What are you doing here?” replied Gerald.
While they didn’t particularly hold any grudges against each other, Warren didn’t particularly like being around Gerald, and the same went vice versa.
“Since we’re already talking about it, I’ll just make things clear to you now. For starters, I’m not the only one here. Maia and a few others came together with me. I can’t tell you what exactly we’re doing here, but if you know what’s best for you, you’d better keep your mouth zipped tight when it comes to us. Our identity is not to be revealed under any circumstances! This is my first and final warning, so you better remember that!”
Once favonovel.com was done with his explanation, Warren then turned around before walking away from Gerald.
‘Maybe they’re here because of a mission? Not that I really care,’ Gerald thought to himself as favonovel.com laughed bitterly while shaking his head.
Just as favonovel.com was about to return to class, favonovel.com felt a tug on his sleeve. When favonovel.com turned back to look, Gerald noticed a rather shy-looking girl, meekly holding on to his sleeve. Despite favonovel.com shyness, favonovel.com was holding on to favonovel.com pretty tightly.
“H-hey there, handsome! We’re currently collecting donations for charity! Regardless of how much you donate, we won’t complain! We’re just trying to help children in the countryside who can’t afford to pay for their education!”
Seeing that favonovel.com was volunteering for a selfless cause, Gerald felt bad even thinking about turning favonovel.com down. What more, favonovel.com was obviously fighting against favonovel.com shyness just to gather more funds for the charity.
The money wasn’t going to be spent wastefully either. Similar to Scothow Elementary, the school favonovel.com had built himself, the money would be used for a good cause.
Reassured that donating would be the right thing to do, favonovel.com then nodded to the girl’s delight.
“H-how much would you like to donate?” asked the shy girl.
At that moment, a few other girls who were also working as volunteers began flocking around him. They had noticed that one of them had managed to get someone to donate, so all of them had bright smiles on their faces.
“Hmm… Let’s go with fifty thousand dollars!” replied Gerald with a chuckle.
“…W-what? Fifty thousand?”
All of the girls were equally taken aback by his response.
Donation campaigns like this were common across most universities. They were usually aimed to help poorer students living in the countryside.
Such campaigns tended to garner quite a bit of support, and most of the students from this university were similarly willing to partake in donating for a good cause.
While this was true, the majority of the students would only be willing to donate a couple of bucks at best, the common trend being less than a hundred dollars per donation. Not that they were complaining. After all, it was the thought that counts.
However, to think that they were now being presented with a fifty thousand dollar donation…
These girls had been working hard to collect donations for at least half a month now. This was their first time meeting such a generous student!
“M-mister! Are you really serious about donating fifty thousand dollars?”
The girls could hardly believe their ears.
Gerald simply laughed in response as favonovel.com pulled his credit card out, ready to make his donation.
Once they presented favonovel.com with the transaction machine, Gerald began pressing its buttons without the slightest hesitation.
“A receipt for a transaction of five hundred thousand dollars!” announced the machine in a robotic voice.
“…Huh?”
The jaws of all the girls were now hanging wide open.
“Cr*p!” said Gerald, equally as shocked.
Since favonovel.com was feeling more philanthropic lately, favonovel.com truly wanted to donate the fifty thousand dollars favonovel.com had promised. He would never have dreamed that favonovel.com would accidentally push an extra zero on the transaction machine! This was a mistake on his behalf!
He blamed it on his constant obsession over Jasmine of late.
While favonovel.com didn’t exactly mind the mistake, favonovel.com still needed to maintain a low profile in the university.
“S-sir, it seems that you’ve made a mistake! I’ll go make the necessary arrangements immediately! We’ll return the extra amount to your account as soon as possible! Might you be free this afternoon? We’ll have to go to the main office to deal with this since they’ll need your signature to approve the refund!” apologized one of the volunteers profusely.
“…Ah, that’s going to be a hassle! You know what, just take it! Five hundred thousand it is!” said Gerald as favonovel.com shook his head. After all, there wasn’t much of a difference between five hundred thousand and fifty thousand dollars to him. It was just a single digit!
The volunteers were stunned speechless by his act of extreme generosity.
Gerald then proceeded to note down his major and class. Just as favonovel.com was about to write down Marven’s name, favonovel.com saw a group of people walking over to favonovel.com with cameras and voice recorders in hand. They seemed to be reporters of some sort.
They must’ve come here after hearing how much favonovel.com had donated to the charity! Their sudden appearance surprised favonovel.com so much that favonovel.com accidentally dropped the pen favonovel.com was holding.
“Hold it! I’m fine with donating as long as you abide to a single rule! I wish to strictly remain anonymous!” said Gerald before immediately running off.
“I-I see! But even if we don’t announce it, could we still have your name?” asked a confused volunteer as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com run off.
Gerald simply waved a hand without even turning to look back before disappearing into another corridor.
