Stronger Every Time I Die
"Finley is a living saint! Without Finley, I would have been working on some assembly line long ago, how could I possibly still be studying here?" "Many people know about Finley's good deeds. Quite a few in the school have been helped by him! How could such a good person ever lie?" "And me!" Henry added, tears welling in his eyes, "Not to hide it from everyone, but my dad has been a gambler since I was young, and he squandered all our money long ago. I had no money for school, and the tuition for my first semester was scraped together by working day and night during the summer. It was Finley! He saw that I only ever ate plain rice and steamed buns and offered me money, which has allowed me to keep going." By the end, whether it was genuine emotion or for the effect of the moment, Henry actually shed tears. The two men's words caused an uproar at the scene! Those who had just doubted Finley suddenly changed their minds. Many emotional girls even started crying with Henry. Many of them were from ordinary families and knew what it was like to be poor. In tough times, to be helped so selflessly by someone kind, that kind of warmth is something they would remember for a lifetime! How could such a good person possibly frame someone else? People began to feel guilty about their narrow-minded thoughts earlier. It was only then that they learned that the gentle senior they had just been accusing was actually their student council president! No wonder he seemed so gentle and refined, bearing the accusations with gritted teeth. Overwhelmed with guilt towards Finley, people began to blame Arthur and Taylor! Regardless of the true circumstances, Finley was such a good person; he definitely wouldn't do anything unscrupulous! Seeing this complete turnaround in the situation, Finley breathed a sigh of relief. He looked appreciatively at Kent and Henry. All the money he spent on supporting them wasn't wasted! To Finley, funding their education was a drop in the bucket, hardly worth mentioning. But Finley knew very well. To these poor folks, his proactive support could make them willingly loyal to him! And now, its usefulness was evident.Seeing the situation reverse, Everest also sighed in relief, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He continued to berate Arthur and Taylor, "Arthur! Taylor! It's bad enough that you're usually not focused on your studies, but now you're here ogling girls, tarnishing our school's reputation! You should really learn from Finley!" With Everest leading, the onlookers, guided by Kent and Henry, immediately began scolding Arthur and Taylor. "That's right! You're always slacking off, never seen attending classes, and now you're caught ogling girls. Such sleazy behavior, how do you even deserve to be students at Governance University!" "You've completely disgraced Governance University! How can you even have the face to stay here? I'm embarrassed for you." "You almost made us wrong a truly good person, you're downright despicable!" "How dare you frame such a good person in this world; aren't you afraid of retribution?" "I think they won't believe until they see it, this matter must be severely punished!" "Are they freshmen and sophomores? They should be expelled from the school!" They had just wronged Finley, such a good person, because of Arthur and Taylor, and now, they seemed to have found a vent, furiously releasing their guilt towards Finley and their anger at the two. As if this way, they could find a justification for their earlier mistake and alleviate their guilt. So, the crowd scolded Arthur and Taylor even more harshly! Listening to these accusations, Finley felt greatly relieved. This was the treatment he deserved! Adored, praised, cared for, flattered—this was the normal state for him, Finley! Just now, he had almost been overturned by those two useless guys, Arthur and Taylor! Though Finley had many thoughts, his expression remained gentle. He spoke softly, "Maybe, they didn't do it on purpose. Let's not scold them anymore, we're all classmates. The girls just need to be a bit more cautious in the future." While seeming to speak on their behalf, Finley had firmly labeled them as 'sleazy and thuggish.' Telling the female students to be more cautious effectively meant that they should beware of Arthur and Taylor from now on. Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, the girls in the crowd unconsciously clutched their skirts tighter, warily eyeing Arthur and Taylor.
