Carter looked back at Calvin and asked, "Is there anything else you want to include in the reply?"
Calvin nodded and said, "Also ask if there is anything Asher would like as compensation for this incident. We cannot allow a future powerhouse to develop bad feelings toward us."
Carter nodded and went to deliver the ssage to Aron.
It did not take long for Aron to receive the ssage.
After reading it, he sighed in relief after seeing the Silverre family’s response, knowing there would likely be no future trouble.
As for the compensation, he simply called Asher and asked if there was anything he wanted.
After hearing Asher’s request, Aron was not even surprised by his choice of compensation.
He then sent a reply containing Asher’s demands.
Roughly an hour later, at the Silverre family estate
Calvin was resting in his room when there was a knock on the door.
"Co in," he said.
Carter entered the room.
Calvin looked at him and asked, "So, what does Asher want as compensation? I hope it is not sothing unreasonable."
Carter hesitated for a mont before replying, "Asher wants early access to the new VR ga we are developing in cooperation with the Velmora family. He also wants us to add so additional features to it."
For a mont, the room fell silent.
Calvin looked at Carter with a strange expression before asking, "That’s all he wanted?"
Carter nodded. "Yes."
Calvin rubbed his forehead and let out a tired sigh.
" That boy only asked for early access to a ga?" he muttered.
Carter hesitated for a mont before replying, "He also requested a few additional features to be added."
Calvin waved his hand dismissively. "That does not matter. Those things can easily be arranged."
Then he paused for a mont before speaking again.
"Honestly, this is far better than I expected. I thought he would ask for resources, money, or so political favor."
Carter nodded in agreent. "It seems Asher was never interested in those things from the beginning."
Calvin leaned back in his chair and sighed in relief.
"Good. Then make sure his requests are fulfilled properly. I do not want any mistakes in this matter."
anwhile, at the Academy.
Cedric was in his room when he received the ssage about all his financial support from the family being cut off until he reached Master rank.
After reading the ssage, Cedric’s expression changed instantly.
Then he said in disbelief, "What kind of joke is this?"
He quickly read the ssage again, hoping he had read sothing wrong, but the contents remained the sa.
No more financial support.
No more extra resources.
The family would also not provide him any external help unless his life was truly in danger.
Cedric clenched his fists tightly in anger.
Then he threw the communication device onto the bed in frustration.
For soone like him who had lived with luxury and endless resources since childhood, this punishnt was far worse than he expected.
More importantly, reaching Master rank was not sothing that could be achieved in a short amount of ti.
Cedric’s expression beca uglier and uglier as he thought about it.
Then he said angrily, "They are seriously doing this just because of that bastard Asher?"
At that mont, another ssage appeared on his communication device.
Cedric imdiately picked it up and read it, hoping the family had changed their decision.
But after reading the contents, his expression froze.
The ssage only contained a single sentence.
"Do not cause any more trouble for the family."
Cedric stared at the ssage silently for a few seconds.
Then he laughed coldly.
"So in the end they still chose that outsider over ," he muttered.
Then he clenched his fists tightly and his expression beca filled with hatred and unwillingness.
Ever since childhood, this was the first ti he had received such punishnt from the family.
And all of it started because of Asher.
But as soon as he rembered Asher and what he had done to him, his anger and hatred vanished, and fear took its place.
Cedric’s expression changed instantly.
The rage in his eyes faded, replaced by hesitation and unease.
"...That guy," he muttered.
Just the mory of Asher was enough to silence all his thoughts of revenge.
His fists slowly loosened as he stood there, unsure of what to do next.
For the first ti, he felt that going against Asher was not just difficult... it was dangerous.
In the cafeteria.
Asher was having lunch with his teammates when his mobile phone received a notification.
He then looked at the ssage he had received from Aron regarding his request for compensation.
After reading it, he had a smile on his face, a normal smile.
Noticing this smile, Aria looked at him and asked, "What was it that made you so happy after reading it?"
Then Noah asked with a mischievous smile, "What, did you get a proposal from so girl that you’re this happy?"
At this, all three of them turned towards him, all of them with blank expressions.
Noah beca nervous and said, "I was just joking, why are you getting so serious?"
Then Adam said, "Because it wasn’t even a good joke. It was just nonsense, nothing more."
Then Asher said, "Yeah, why would any girl propose to knowing my personality? And if soone did, then she would probably be a patient who has escaped from a ntal hospital".
Then for a mont, the table went silent.
Aria stared at Asher for a few seconds before shaking her head slightly.
"You really don’t think highly of yourself, do you?" she said calmly.
Asher shrugged and continued eating. "I’m just being realistic."
Then Adam said to Noah, "Look, he even proved it by talking like this, so don’t joke about it again. It’s too weird to imagine this idiot dating so girl."
Noah raised his hands slightly in surrender. "Alright, alright, I get it."
Aria glanced at Adam and Noah, then back at Asher. "You all talk like it’s impossible."
