Chapter 47 - 47 045 If They Don't Submit, Let Them Fight
?Chapter 47: Chapter 045: If They Don’t Submit, Let Them Fight Chapter 47: Chapter 045: If They Don’t Submit, Let Them Fight Wayne Taylor’s pleasant dream was interrupted as he heard the news brought back by Owen Taylor and Lily Taylor.
He was shocked and speechless for a while.
Seeing Wayne Taylor’s reaction, Owen and Lily felt a sense of heaviness in their hearts.
“Grandfather, haven’t you heard of the concept of barriers before?”
“No…” Wayne Taylor regained his composure from the shock, “I thought barriers were just a rumor, I didn’t expect to encounter one in reality.
Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?”
Owen replied, “Absolutely certain.”
Then, Lily described the situation at that time.
After listening, Wayne Taylor confirmed that it was indeed a barrier.
He frowned and made a decision: “In two days, I will go with you to Mountain County.”
“Grandfather, if you leave, what about the Taylor Family here?”
“Your father will manage the Taylor Family well for me,” he was just going to confirm it, leaving for a few days wouldn’t turn the Taylor Family upside down.
“Lily means that if you leave, our father will notice.”
Owen reminded him that he had previously asked them to investigate the Stephens Family and Fisher Family secretly.
Wayne Taylor frowned.
Indeed, his father was a tricky issue.
“To have such a barrier, the Stephens Family and the Fisher Family have hidden themselves very deeply without any signs.”
“What about Mountain County then…” Owen didn’t recommend him to go.
There was something in the Divinity Temple; the Stephens Family and the Fisher Family would surely send more people to investigate.
Running into each other, they might alert their father.
“Let’s not go for now,” Wayne Taylor looked at them and said, “After you went to Mountain County, the cleanup team sent a yellow card.”
Owen and Lily’s expressions changed upon hearing this.
It’s them again.
“What did they say?”
Wayne Taylor conveyed Len Hawthorne’s message to Owen.
Owen’s expression became even more difficult to look at.
Lily was a bit disdainful, “It’s just a cleanup team.
Our Taylor Family doesn’t need to fear them.”
Wayne Taylor looked at his granddaughter and said, “Don’t underestimate others.
There are powerful forces beyond our knowledge that we cannot rival.
If you continue like this, one day you will suffer a big loss.”
“Yes, I understand,” Lily lowered her head.
“In the next few days, you two often visit these two families and scout for information.”

Getting first place in the exams didn’t make Chloe very happy now.
Headmaster Hamilton didn’t doubt Chloe.
Chloe unexpectedly scored first place, others questioned it, and it was reasonable to ask why.
“There’s no reason, I wanted to get first place, so I did.”
Headmaster Hamilton: “…”
“Anything else?”
See, the momentum is even more powerful than the headmaster.
“Now the whole grade doubts that you cheated.
To clear things up …”
“I got first place, why should I clear things up?
What, am I not allowed to get first place?”
Headmaster Hamilton didn’t know how to respond to this question.
“It’s not that you’re not allowed to get first place; it’s just that your past grades were a bit poor.
You suddenly made rapid progress, and everyone is not used to it.”
“They’re not used to it, so I have to clear things up for them.
Are they babies who haven’t grown up?”
“…”
“If they are not convinced, let them challenge me.”
“…”
Headmaster Hamilton tiredly escorted her out the door.

“Chloe.”
Kate Williams and a few other girls came looking for her from Class 1.
They happened to intercept Chloe as she exited the principal’s office.
Chloe looked at her without speaking.
“Chloe, congratulations on getting first place in the whole grade.”
Kate Williams’ congratulations sounded sarcastic.
Chloe walked past them towards the classroom.
“Although you got first place in the whole grade, everyone is suspecting that you copied the answers.
Chloe, don’t you want to clarify for everyone?”
Kate Williams feigned concern in her tone.
Chloe walked away without a word.
“Kate, why are you congratulating her?
Maybe Class 2’s headteacher deliberately changed the wrong questions and gave her a perfect score.”
“Yeah, just to raise Class 2’s scores, their headteacher would use any means necessary.”
“Besides Oliver Gordon, who else in Class 2 dares to claim first place?
It’s her who dares to jump in front of him.
For such a serious cheating act, she’s not afraid of being found out and expelled.”
“Maybe she has genuine talent; everyone doesn’t know the situation, so let’s not jump to conclusions.” Kate Williams smiled.
“Other than copying, can she even do her own exams?
Don’t make me laugh, even if it rained red rain, she couldn’t get the answers.
I say, for the next exam, let her take it alone, with 380-degree surveillance with no blind spots to focus on her every move.”
Another girl said, “It should have been like this in the first place.”
*
Upon entering the classroom, most of the classmates looked at Chloe with colored eyes.
“If she could get first place, she must have cheated.”
“That’s unlikely, there were so many people taking the exam at the same time, who would she copy from?”
“How unlikely is it?
Do you know the Stephens Family of Sheffield City?
She’s the crazy young miss of that family.
With the power of the Stephens Family, they could totally hire a technology expert to install a chip for her, and control the whole exam.”
“Wouldn’t that be a robot?”
“Maybe the one taking the exam that day was a person-skinned robot, after all, there’s already this kind of technology on the market.”
“That sounds more and more ridiculous.”
Mason Sullivan rolled his eyes and said to Oliver Gordon, “Oliver, do you think Chloe Stephens really cheated to get first place this time?”
Oliver Gordon was calculating his own mistakes.
There’s no way that Chloe could’ve solved them if he couldn’t figure these questions out.
“Oliver?”
Mason saw Oliver being absorbed in the calculations and shook his head.
Oliver raised his head, glanced, and withdrew his gaze.
Mason said, “You want to know so badly how she figured it out, I’ll ask her.”
Mason brought the questions to Chloe, “Chloe, can you teach me how you solved these math problems?”
He thought Chloe would coolly reject him like before, but she brought the questions over and quickly wrote several formulas.
After filling the entire page, the problems were solved.
Mason watched the whole process, his eyes widened.
The other students also stretched their necks to see.
“She really solved them.”
“No way.”
“Is she that amazing?”
Oliver Gordon also couldn’t help but look over, seeing the girl stop writing and wanting to know the answers on the paper.
Mason said in amazement, “You’re really good at this.”
Chloe gave him a faint glance.
Mason put on a smile and brought the answers back to Oliver, “Take a look.”
Oliver looked at the steps written down, his expression changing constantly.
Incredulity spread through his eyes.

It was still the same old store.
It had been two days.
The old man didn’t come.
Chloe stood in front of the store, picked up the fire axe, and was about to hit it down on the glass door.
A hand grabbed her wrist.
“If you do this, you might get invited to a tea session,” Albert Webb’s voice came from above her head.
Chloe let go of the axe, turned around, and saw the boy close to her, “Where is he?”
“Our whole family is looking for him.
For some reason, he vanished mysteriously.
Oh right, what do you want my estranged uncle for?”
“Buy stuff.”
“He sells a lot of strange and rare things, what do you want to buy?
Maybe I can help.”
“Medicine, do you have it?”
“…No.”
Chloe walked away.
Albert put the axe back and followed, “Have you had lunch?”
Chloe shook her head.
“I know a delicious restaurant, let’s go.”
Albert’s hand just reached out, but Chloe had already walked in front.
At the restaurant.
Chloe ordered a dish of golden fried rice.
Albert helplessly shook his head, “With so many dishes, you only ordered fried rice?
Chloe, you don’t need to save money for me.”
Chloe didn’t raise her head but pointed at the door outside.
Albert turned around and saw a girl walking into the door.
Her face didn’t look very good.
The girl saw Albert and came over with a beaming smile, “Brother, having a meal with a friend?”
“Yeah.”
“I haven’t eaten, can I join…”
Albert took out a hundred dollars from his pocket, “Go eat by yourself.”
The girl’s smile froze, “Brother, do you really hate me that much?”
“No, I still have to accompany my friend for lunch,” Albert’s face was full of rejection.
The girl laughed politely, “Okay, let’s eat together some other time.
You’re called Chloe, right?
I’m one year older, in senior one, just call me Sister when we meet.”
She left after saying what she thought was friendly words.
Albert explained embarrassedly, “That’s my adopted Sister, don’t mind her.”
Chloe suddenly put down the bowl in her hand and grabbed Albert’s wrist.
Albert instantly blushed, “No, you don’t need to…hold hands that quickly.”
Albert was dragged out by a force, and when he came to his senses, their previous seats had completely collapsed.
Fortunately, there weren’t many customers at the moment.
Otherwise, the loss would be severe.
Albert, who had regained his senses, turned pale in an instant.
He thought of something, turned around to look for someone, but Chloe was nowhere to be found.
