After putting on a show, Wu Ming and Carter completed the semester with excellent results.
Moreover, even in the artificial grading items such as classroom performance, the two of them scored very high.
As for the reason? The spread of the Church of Salvation had begun to reach out to Biafo University. Although these teachers and professors were all business elites, and even if Satan appeared in front of them, they would still weigh the pros and cons. However, their families were not. They were quickly conquered, and under the imperceptible influence, their attitudes naturally deviated.
In addition, Carter still had the mentality of a young man. After his successful career, he donated a lot of money to the school. He had already reserved the title of an outstanding alumnus, so everything went smoothly.
If Biafu University was in another city, perhaps Wu Ming's identity as the pope would not be that popular. However, the headquarters of the Church of Salvation was in Caspar City. Under such circumstances, even the school's board of directors had to take it seriously.
In fact, with the Church of Salvation's current scale and assets, if not for the fact that Wu Ming and Carter did not want to be too high-profile, they could have already applied for early graduation.
… …
* Woo woo … *
Accompanied by the roar of the train, Wu Ming once again returned to Yinchao City, the place where he was born.
"Big brother!"
Outside the train station, James was driving the car. Angelina and Madam Sterling waved their arms with all their might. Brandon, who was at the side, looked reluctant.
"You're finally here. Mom and Dad have been waiting for so long!"
Angelina acted like an enthusiastic younger sister as she stepped forward to help Wu Ming carry his luggage.
"There's a problem with the train, so it's a little late!"
Wu Ming smiled apologetically. "Angelina, Brandon, you've grown taller again!"
Angelina and Brandon had finally entered middle school, and they looked like adults. Angelina looked like a young girl, while Brandon had a few more freckles and acne on his face.
"Yeah!"
Brandon snorted indifferently. Madam Sterling smacked him on the head. "How can you talk to your big brother like that? Be polite! "
"Actually, just let the driver pick me up!"
Wu Ming did not mind the child's subtle jealousy and got into the car.
"How can we do that?"
Madam Sterling smiled. "James's business partners were envious when they heard that his son is a top student at Birnafu University. They even gave us a lot of discounts …"
Businessmen were a group of shrewd creatures. Jamu's abilities were not bad, and with such a son, his future achievements could be predicted. The current preferential treatment was only reasonable investment.
"Actually …"
James turned around in embarrassment. "There's a ceremony in a few days. They want to see you!"
"Hmph, no wonder you're so proactive today!"
Madam Sterling exploded, "You don't care about your son at all!"
"Alright, alright …"
Wu Ming had no choice but to cover his forehead. "I'll be there. There's no need to say anything else. I'm starving now. What did you prepare for dinner?"
Madam Sterling became excited at once. "Dinner will be at home. I've found Chef Andre. He's the head chef of a famous three-star restaurant in the city. He's here personally to prepare a banquet for us …"
"Oh?"
Wu Ming looked at James in astonishment. The latter immediately smiled embarrassedly. "It's your mother's idea …"
Truth be told, the exorbitant expenses made his heart ache. However, what else could he say in front of his wife and children?
'Actually … No feast can compare to the sincerity of cooking …'
Wu Ming closed his eyes. It was as if he recalled the time when the family was still poor. The happy and harmonious picture made him feel a warm feeling.
It was a pity that the passing of time was like this.
As time passed, people would eventually change.
He was rather happy to see this change. Otherwise, if his feelings were too deep, the future would be even more troublesome.
It was simple now. He only needed to guarantee them a good life and a good mental state for the rest of their lives.
"Steven, you have to help your younger brothers and sisters!"
Madam Sterling nagged at the side, "I've finally seen it clearly. Angelina and Brandon are useless. They can only rely on you as their big brother to take care of them in the future!"
"I will!"
Wu Ming promised. "Truth be told, I also feel that I paid too little attention to them back then. It's time to fulfill my responsibility as a brother!"
He was still a little interested in researching Angelina's constitution.
She was immune to normal hypnosis and suggestions, and could even recall memories from when she was a baby. Although it seemed to be hidden rather deeply, it might be a pretty good ability if it was developed.
"I don't want to!"
Perhaps it was because he had reached puberty, but his rebellious mentality caused Brandon to immediately shout.
Angelina, on the other hand, looked like an obedient girl. The Sterling couple almost thought that her temperament had changed.
… …
After dealing with things for a night, Wu Ming finally had the time to inquire about his friends' current situation.
Philip was furthering his studies in the Royal Police Academy and did not even come back to celebrate the new year. Neville was still busy with his antique collection business. He had now opened a pawnshop and was considered somewhat famous in Yinchao City.
Weidi seemed to be forced by his family to prepare for the university entrance exams again. It was said that his two strict and old-fashioned parents had given him a death order. Even if he had to wait five or ten years, he had to persevere to the end! Now he was grounded and was bombarded by various home tutors at home every day. He did not even have time to go out. It was really pitiful.
The last one, Alice, had started working early and should have had time to gather. However, Wu Ming did not have any feelings for her at all, so he could only apologize.
Thus, Wu Ming's vacation time was really idle. Apart from occasionally talking to Carter on the phone to remotely control the development of the Church of Salvation, he was tutoring his two younger siblings with their homework.
"Very good … This function is quite important. You have to do a lot of questions repeatedly to understand it thoroughly!"
Wu Ming held a pen and quickly wrote out a large number of arithmetic problems. "Now, solve them. This is your task for today!"
He did not have the slightest self-awareness as a teacher. He directly brought out the tactic of overload questions that countless examinees in his previous life hated but had extraordinary effects. "The university entrance exams are actually just like that. If you do it many times and become familiar with it, you will naturally pass!"
"Woo woo …"
In front of him, Alice looked at the mountain of exercise books, but she wanted to cry but had no tears.
Coming out of his sister's room in a good mood, Wu Ming walked up the stairs and yawned lazily. 'How leisurely … Maybe I can take some time to go to Port Victoria and talk to Captain Victor about the future development plan …'
One million gold dollars was not a small amount. There were endless wealth and treasures in the ocean, and there were also a few most dangerous and mysterious nodes. Wu Ming did not plan to let go of them.
"Brandon! Come out! Why aren't you doing your homework? "
Arriving outside his younger brother's room, Wu Ming knocked on the door, feeling slightly helpless.
Naughty children were the most annoying. If they were in the rebellious phase of adolescence, it would be even more troublesome.
"No!"
Brandon's muffled voice came from behind the door. "I'm busy, don't disturb me!"
"Yo … You have character!"
The corners of Wu Ming's mouth curled up. Through the probing of his spiritual force, he could 'see' Brandon sitting on the ground behind the door, concentrating on a card game in front of him.
"Tarot cards? No! Not … "
When Wu Ming's spiritual force noticed these few cards, he was surprised and made a discovery.
This set of cards was very different from the tarot cards circulating in the market. Not only were they exquisitely made, but there were golden patterns on the back of the black cards. The characters and monsters on the front were vivid and lifelike, and they even had a hidden power.
"Magical items made using real witchcraft? How did they end up in Brandon's hands? "
Wu Ming frowned, as if he could smell a conspiracy.
"Brandon, open the door!"
His voice suddenly became a little more serious.
"Scram!"
The naughty child inside immediately replied.
"Very good!"
Wu Ming kicked fiercely, and after a loud bang, a big hole was kicked out of the door. The next moment, he exerted force in his hand, and the entire door was broken into pieces and scrapped.
"What are you doing?"
As the sawdust flew, the naughty child became absent-minded.
"Don't … Don't come over …"
Brandon looked at Wu Ming's tall figure and kept retreating. His eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles under them, as if he had not slept well for the past few days.
"Mental exhaustion? There really is something wrong with this set of cards! "
Wu Ming narrowed his eyes and picked up all the cards on the ground in front of Brandon. "How many days have you not slept? Are you crazy to be so engrossed in a game? "
"Return it …"
Brandon swallowed his saliva. Seeing Wu Ming's outburst earlier had frightened him.
After the cards were taken away by Wu Ming, he seemed to have recovered a little. He knew what fear was and could not even ask for the cards back.
"You're so young. If you want to play games, you should at least wait until you've entered university!"
Wu Ming tossed the cards in his hand. "These toys … I'm confiscating them!"
In his heart, however, he was secretly feeling pleased. It was good to have the authority of a big brother. He could directly confiscate the toys of his little brother, and no one could find a reason to object.
"I understand …"
Brandon looked at Wu Ming's palm unwillingly, but he still gave in and replied.
Although he felt his heart ache, for some unknown reason, a sense of relief that he had not felt for a long time suddenly appeared in his heart.
However, at this moment, in the eyes of this young boy, the Wu Ming in front of him was probably no different from some legendary demon king.
