Mu Ten was shocked but he did not show up.

"I am not running an orphanage," Mu Ten answered.

That was true, he was running a prestigious institute not an orphanage then why this man came asking.

"He is still underage and I have potential to look after his expenses and his personality development," the business was here after proper research.

"I will call him, you can talk to him directly," Mu Ten has no issue if Lui was adopted, it would be better if Lui was given enough care and if this businessman could prove a caring guardian, nothing can compare with it.

Mu Ten called Lui.

Lui listened Dean and he was slightly confused.

"Don't overthink this matter, you will have a legal guardian for you to take care, and I know your future study also need large amount of money investment," the business man reminded.

That was true but what was with the tone of this man, he don't seemed to bring this up out of selflessness, he was talking plainly like he was ordering for a take away at the meal counter.

"I think someone talked about adoption," a judge of the legal courts was also in the ceremony, he looked at the faces and recognized Lui and Dean.

"The stars of this ceremony I see, I never know that an orphan would be this bright star one day, I wonder who was investing on you all these years?" he asked out of courtesy.

"My academy bore the expenses," Lui answered in hoarse voice, he never thought that he would be called an orphan right after getting the award, he felt someone slapped him again and again, to be called orphan was a type of insult that only an orphan could feel, it was more than a mocking.

"No one will ever call you orphan if you have a guardian," the business man strike on the hot iron.

"It would be a great decision my boy," the judge patted on his shoulders and left.

"I will file for a legal procedure and send the doc.u.ments to the academy to take a look then you can sign, is that okay," businessman asked Lui and he nodded.

He felt that his award and his achievement lost meaning in his eyes, the only word 'orphan' was reverberating in his ears.

He has heard many people say especially his rival, but it never hurt him this much, today it seemed that people were mocking his achievement because he was an orphan.

There was other reason, if he got a guardian his study won't be a burden on the academy and academy can support other needy but genius students.

He will able be able to support his friends.

"There is no need for you to sign the doc.u.ment if you don't want to, academy will support you no matter what, you are asset of MicroTech," Mu Ten patted his shoulders.

Lui has made his mind, he could see through the neutral expressions of the businessman, there was something terrible and hidden, he seemed threatening while at the same time speaking plainly.

He was worried that academy barely survived the enmity between Mu Ten and LongBo Dang, now this businessman was here to bring another trouble, it was apparent.

He was sure that Mu Ten would stand up for him and protect but he can't take this help and always try to hide from his enemies, if the businessman has something to cause trouble then he would make sure to survive this ordeal.

"What, you are leaving soon?" Lei Mei was more shocked, "Who adopted you? Will he let us friends meet you often? Where is the house of that man? Don't tell me he lured you with presenting a Range Nine model car?" she has lots of questions to ask and Lui only answered with 'hmm' 'what' 'No'

"You ask too much," Ni Chen interrupted.

"There must be a reason for Lui to accept this guardianship else we are living under the expenses and care of MicroTech," Xu Rue spoke this time.

"Listen to me carefully, the roof where we sleep with ease is not our destiny, the corridors of the academy will be replaced with some company hall when we graduated so its better to prepare your minds till the time came knocking," he took deep breath.

"But the only thing that would not change is our friendship, we will always keep in touch, will spare time for each other and help whenever any of us needed, remember," Lui spoke his final words and stood up.

"What about Hyal?" Lie Mei immediately asked.

"I will visit her often and when she get discharged from hospital, I will be disturbing you to look after her for some time until I made a trip to lost district and send her back, or if she wanted to study, I will spend my pocket money to support her expenses," he talked to Lie Mei.

"Wow, the study expenses cost many thousands every month, are you sure you can pay that much?" Ni Chen asked out of curiosity.

"It's not much when I am legally adopted by a wealthy businessman, the pocket money will be enough to support her initial schooling," Lui spoke and got ready to leave.

The personal chauffeur of his guardian was reaching soon to pick him up.

His friends were sad, they were thinking same, they were sure that Lui would start distancing himself soon because he no longer was among them, a poor and orphan.

But they also remembered what he said that they will always be friends and help each other whenever they.

Let's see whether he will be able to stand on his words in future, they were waiting now when he would mock them being poor like other elite students.

Lui packed up and bade farewell.

They were from same world and their circ.u.mstances were same and he was aware what was in their minds.

He shook his head and let the chauffeur take his luggage, his friends waved goodbye one last and turned to wipe their wet eyes.
