Chapter 290


    Sophia exited the basement and heard Stanley’s voice from afar. “Sophia, where the hell are you? Come


    out!”


    She saw him swaggering in the moment she showed up in the living room while Nathan happily held


    hands with a tall, dashing man when entering.


    The man wore a pair of gold-framed sses as he carried his briefcase and a few books in his hands—it


    was Quinton rk!


    After entering the living room, Nathan put down his schoolbag and graciously served tea, but did not give


    his father the same treatment.


    As soon as Stanley entered, he said, “Sophia, Nate couldn’t bear to see you being ill for these three


    days, so he brought a professor here to help you make up for the sses you have missed!”


    When she saw Quinton, she suddenly shuddered. He could also be Phantom Wolf…


    At 7.00PM, Michael returned home and was surprised to discover two unfamiliar pairs of shoes on the


    shoe rack as he entered. The people in the basement usually would not show up in the vi—except for


    Abel—since they had their own underground tunnels to enter and exit. Is there a guest in the house?


    When Maria received his briefcase, she exined, “It’s almost time for the mid-term exams. Little Master


    brought his professional course teacher back for madam to make up for the lessons that she has


    missed.”


    Before he entered the living room, he had already heard the voice of someone teaching.


    “DuPont analysis is one of the main points for the midterm examination. Make notes for it and ask me if


    you don’t understand. As for statistics, chapters 1, 4 and 5 are the main ones that wille up in the


    exam. During this period, I will send the necessary academic files to your email. Furthermore, I’m also


    teaching online ssestely, so I’ll send you the videos for that too. As for taxationw, the exam will


    focus onmodity turnover tax, consumption tax and personal ie tax. These are all the forms


    and error-prone points. Try to find some time to memorize it and practice more questions. You should be


    fine by then. I can help you with your professional courses, but I can’t help you with your Further


    Mathematics. I remember that I was always on the brink of failing that subject back then.”


    Quinton recently became an Inte sensation. Ever since the rise of live transmission, many professors


    had started to have online sses. He had a dashing face with an extensive knowledge, so he


    immediately became an online celebrity.

    Sophia was focused on making notes without missing out on any important point.


    She hadn’t attended sses for days, so she had massively fallen behind in her professional courses.


    Luckily, Quinton had a PhD in economics with a clear understanding of the courses that they learned in


    ss, so he was able to help her catch up with her studies after a few days.


    Nathan and Stanley had been ying games with each other in the meantime. Stanley then took the


    opportunity to join their conversation. “Professor, you should focus on helping her with her professional


    courses. I can help her with her Further Mathematics. I’m also great with English as I’ve received really


    good grades for that subject!”


    He was brilliant in English, especially when he used it to scold others. That was because he often yed


    esports tournaments with foreign yers abroad. Since it was esports, scolding opponents upon defeat


    was inevitable, so in order to be able to scold them, he developed the ability to curse others in English.


    The moment Michael stepped into the living room, he immediately recognized the person and called his


    name. “Quinton.”


    Quinton was also shocked when he saw Michael before standing up in excitement, calling him with a


    name that Sophia had never heard before. “Companymander!”


    “Companymander?” She was taken aback.


    Stanley, who was beside her, exined, “You didn’t know about this! My uncle was an army training drill


    instructor for the freshmen of Bayside University back then. Although he had only served there once,


    Professor rk just so happened to be his student.”


    Michael and Quinton seemed to have reunited after a long time. Quinton was so happy to see him that


    he shook Michael’s hand in excitement. “Actually, I already saw youst time at the Harper family’s


    engagement banquet. I wanted to say hello, but it wasn’t appropriate on that asion.”


    He was very excited and couldn’t help but hug Michael like he was a fan of thetter.


    After Sophia’s ss finished, she kept her items while eavesdropping on their conversation.


    “It has been more than ten years. I can’t believe you still remember me.” Michael couldn’t help but feel


    emotional.


    He had an interesting life—he had inherited his mother’s talent for acting, so performing arts had always


    been a talent and interest of his since young. At the age of 13, he formed his own youth band and gained


    quite a reputation at that time, but sadly, the Inte was under-developed in that area, so there wasn’t


    much exposure on the television. Otherwise, he would be the TF of his generation.


    When he was 18 years old, he needed to make his first life decision—between enrolling in a military


    school or a normal university. At that time, he chose to join the army, so he dissolved the band.


    At the age of 20, he received the task to teach military training to the freshmen of Bayside University and


    coincidentally, he was in charge of Quinton’s ss. His ss had more than 20 people and most of them


    were girls. Once the military training was over, they never contacted each other ever since, but he still


    remembered the pretty boy in that ss after many years—Quinton.


    Heter retired from the army and took the college entrance examination at the ‘old age’ of 23 before


    enrolling into the School of Cinematography in Bayside University, which officially started his acting


    career. Sadly, all of his students during the military training had graduated by then, so he didn’t have the


    chance to meet them.


    Quinton was ecstatic. “I can’t believe that you are actually the famous actor, Taylor Murray. A few of my


    ssmates often discussed how simr Taylor Murray looks to ourmander during university military


    training. Haha!”


    As Michael reminisced about the past, he sighed. “At first, I called you guys sissies, so I sneaked all of


    you over the wall to run in the wild in the middle of the night so that you all could gain more courage. As


    soon as the military training was over, I was confined.”


    “Haha, that sounds so awful…”


    Sophia was also rendered speechless. A drill instructor who sneaks his students over the wall in the


    middle of the night for them to gain their courage… What apanymander!


    When the topic of military training was mentioned, they had endless topics to chat about.


    “In the past few years, my ssmates back then constantly mentioned you. Sadly, when the military


    training was over, we just couldn’t contact you.”


    Sophia nodded her head in agreement. Up until that point, she still hadn’t known Commander Ford’s full


    name at all. She only knew that hisst name was ‘Ford’ and there was no way to contact him.


    “Companymander, do you still remember this? At that time, thepany next to us was from the


    School of Cinematography and there was this kid called Harry Winston, who was chasing after a girl in


    ourpany. He even confessed to her in public, but in the end, you beat him up in front of everyone.


    Haha, that’s so funny. Harry is now actually Ethan Winston, right?”


    The moment Quinton mentioned Harry’s name, he actually showed up in front of them. When Harry


    heard that Abel had made a breakthrough, he hurried over to check on it, but never expected to run into


    Quinton.


    The three of them sat down together to chat more.


    “Harry, it really is you!”


    “Oh, you are that sissy in thepany next to mine! Ten years has already passed and you still look like


    a sissy!”


    “Don’t mention the past!”


    Sophia enjoyed their conversation as she listened from the sidelines.


    During the military training back then, Harry was in the midst of wooing a girl in Quinton’s ss, so the


    latter had rallied a few boys to beat him up. However, there weren’t many boys studying finance and


    most of them were sissies, so they were all beaten to a pulp by the tall and imposing Harry.


    When the news had reached Michael’s ears, he beat Harry up instead in front of everyone.


    The three of them had a joyful conversation and Michael even asked Quinton to stay for dinner. After


    dinner, Quinton spoke to Sophia before leaving, “I live on the other side of the street. If you don’t


    understand anything, feel free to contact me. Take care of yourself, Miss Edwards.”


    As soon as he was gone, Michael and Harry headed to the basement in the silence. Michael had already


    retrieved Quinton’s fingerprints and lip prints. “Do a cross-check.”
