A few words from Hugo had Finley's face turning deathly pale in an instant! Although Hugo didn't explicitly say anything, anyone with a brain could tell what he meant! Finley suddenly realized that Hugo wasn't as easy to fool as others. His eyes were fixed tightly on him, those deep eyes seeming to see through all the truths of the world, leaving no place to hide! Finley started to panic. Hugo's blunt words had thrust him into the spotlight. Some people in the audience, who had been silent up to now, began whispering among themselves. "I've been feeling something was off since the beginning, why would Finley bring such a precious ring to our orientation party?" "Yeah, our orientation isn't some top-tier banquet, it doesn’t warrant such an expensive ring." "Since he mentioned that it was a ring worn by Queen Eldoria, sought specially by his grandmother and absolutely not to be lost, normally, one wouldn’t wear it to a noisy event like the orientation party, right?" "If he wasn’t worried about losing it, then why did he keep stressing the ring's importance to him earlier?" "Also, Kent suddenly falling near Arthur and then Finley going up to apologize, all of it seemed really fishy." "From what I know, Kent and Arthur don't get along well, right? They've even fought before. With such a large venue, why would Kent run over to Arthur’s side and then just happen to fall?" The buzz of the crowd was not quiet, and to Finley, it felt like needles piercing him, making it hard for him to breathe. Why do these people have to think so much! Finley’s face turned even paler, and cold sweat began to silently drip down his forehead. His mind raced for a way out. But facing the crowd's questioning and Hugo's piercing gaze, Finley couldn’t calm down! Kent and Henry below the stage were anxiously watching Finley on stage. They wanted to say something, but they feared adding to Finley's troubles; they had no idea how to clear the current predicament. Suddenly, a spark of inspiration hit Henry, and he blurted out loudly, “Finley, didn’t you say earlier that because this ring was worn by Queen Eldoria, your grandma wanted you to wear it to greet the freshmen, to bring them good luck, hoping they would achieve great success in the future?” Hearing Henry's words, a lightbulb went off for Finley! He couldn't even pause to appreciate Henry's quick thinking; he immediately nodded, "Yes! I—" Finley almost lost his composure in his excitement. But he quickly regained his calm, his self-control once again shocking Hugo and Mateo. Even Arthur couldn’t help but admire him. Finley steadied his excited heart and said, "Hugo, my grandmother is a very kind person. She always hopes that everyone can live a worry-free life. This ring, she specifically asked me to wear it to the orientation to bring good luck to the freshmen. I never expected it to get lost." With these words, Finley showed a hurt and disappointed expression. At that, the whole room erupted, especially the freshmen. "Oh my! How cruel must Arthur be to steal such a ring!" "Finley is so kind! I didn’t expect that Finley's grandma was even kinder! To think that Finley wore such a precious ring just to bring us freshmen good luck!" "I'm so moved, the Finley family is too kind, such a precious ring could really bring us good luck, and Arthur dared to steal it, he’s ruining our good fortune!" "That's right! Arthur is simply despicable! Mr. Policeman, you must severely punish Arthur, this despicable thief! He’s trying to ruin our good luck!" "How could such a kind person as Finley encounter a thief like Arthur, it's a disgrace to Governance University! He’s not worthy of being Hugo’s student!" "Right! He doesn’t deserve to be Mr. Hugo’s student!" With the first shout, the following outcry was nearly unstoppable! "Arthur doesn't deserve to be Mr. Hugo's student." This phrase quickly became the chant of the entire audience. Suddenly, this chant became the rallying cry that everyone agreed upon. No one wanted to stay at the same school with a thief. After all, if today he could steal someone else’s precious ring, tomorrow, he might target your belongings! He was like a ticking time bomb!
