Chapter 9: No one is allowed to leave

“Sis, what did you just say? You want me to buy daily necessities for someone? And deliver it to them?”

Ryan was dumbfounded after he went downstairs and heard what Lila had instructed him to do.

When had he ever done something like this?

He usually had others from his dorm buy his pack of cigarettes, but now his sister was actually asking him to buy things for someone else.

“Just go if I’m asking you to go! Why are there so many questions?” Lila furrowed her brows, “Or do you expect me to buy and deliver it?”

“…” Ryan stared at his sister, “Sis, who is this William you’re talking about? I’ve never heard of him before. You didn’t fall for him, did you?”

Ryan had never heard of anyone who could make his sister do such a thing.

It was always the sycophants who bought things and brought them to his sister, only to have them thrown out.

When had Lila ever bought things for other men?

And this time, she actually wanted him to buy things and personally deliver them. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

“I only met him today, and grandpa told me to do whatever he says.” Lila said, more frustrated than before. She pinched Ryan, “Are you going or not?”

“I’ll go! Of course, I’ll go!” Ryan huffed, “I also want to see if this guy is really as formidable as you say.”

“Hurry up! Buy only the best! Purchase all the daily necessities a male could use, and take them all to him. Whatever he doesn’t need, you carry back down, I’ll be waiting for you here.” Lila had just recalled the tone her grandfather used when speaking to her, along with her grandfather’s personal bank card. It was clear that he highly regarded William.

“Okay! I’m going now!” Ryan nodded, hesitated for a moment, “Sis, you don’t like him, do you?”

“Like I said, I only met him today! But don’t you dare mess around, if grandpa gets angry, I won’t be able to save you.” Lila was genuinely afraid her brother might stir up trouble. If this angered their grandfather, then Ryan would be in real trouble.

Ryan nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t mess with him.”

But inside, he thought, ‘I bet I will!’

In Ryan’s view, this must be the man his family arranged to be his sister’s fiancé. ‘Who the hell is this guy, wanting to marry my sister?’

He thought, ‘Forget messing with him, even if I bury him tonight, grandpa would at most scold me a few times.’

The Carter family had only one descendant, and everyone was counting on him to expand the family tree. Even if he did something wrong, his grandfather wouldn’t really punish him.

By the time Ryan arrived at the convenience store, he had already made seven or eight phone calls.

“Get up and work for me! Damn it, we’re moving goods from the convenience store!”

“Hey! Everyone, carry it to dorm 306!”

“Everyone else, bring your stuff to the entrance of 306 now, no one inside is allowed to leave!”

…

Ryan made several calls, and the whole school was quickly stirred into a frenzy of discussion.

Universities are microcosms of society, and the friends Ryan made were all of the same type as him.

These rich kids are arrogant, they might not listen to their parents at home, but at school when they meet students who are even more arrogant and higher in status, they become obedient followers.

In less than ten minutes, over twenty burly students were already waiting at the convenience store.

“I’m buying some daily necessities for a guy called William in dorm 306. Everyone, pick something expensive, one item each.” Ryan made a few calls, mobilizing at least a hundred people in the school. More than twenty people helped him carry stuff, others started heading towards dorm 306 to watch the spectacle, some were even live-streaming to draw attention.

The rich second-generation students in the school also started to act.

The news that Lila was standing outside the male dormitory building had already spread, and her pursuers couldn’t help but go and watch.

“But for now, no one dares to strike up a conversation.

Edward, who had been rejected in his confession, only stood at a distance, watching, with no intention of approaching.

Edward couldn’t help but chuckle to his companions, “See, we don’t even need to lift a finger, Ryan is the first one to lose his cool!”

People around him chimed in, “Of course, if Ryan finds out that a poor student is hitting on his sister, how could he tolerate it?”

“This kid is a bit pitiful, at first I thought he wouldn’t last three days in school, now it seems he won’t even last half a day, probably will be tormented to near death.”

Edward scoffed, “It’s a small matter, we just need to watch, after all, we’re not on the same level. The kid is lucky, if he had actually dated Lila for a while before being discovered, his fate would be even worse.”

On the other side, William had already entered the dorm, cheerfully greeting his three roommates.

But the other two, upon finding out he had just been targeted by Ryan, didn’t want to have anything to do with him, even refraining from introducing themselves.

“Look mate, you better get moving, we don’t want to be dragged into your troubles, alright?”

William asked in confusion, “Are you guys that scared of Ryan?”

“It’s not about fear, but being targeted by him is certainly not a good thing. We’re suggesting you leave for your own good.”

William was nonchalant, smiling, “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

One of them asked, “So, you’re not going out today, right?”

“Just for now, I’m waiting for someone to deliver stuff. Once I’ve tidied up my bed space, I’ll go out. We’re meeting for the first time, how about we have a meal together later, maybe a drink?”

“I… Eat what? You must be drunk!” one of the boys finally lost his patience, “Alright, you’re not leaving, huh? Paul, Wyatt, let’s move our computers next door first, then we’ll leave for the day, and come back once it’s over.”

They quickly reached a consensus. Originally, they wanted to drive William out, but the three of them couldn’t lift this seemingly not fat guy, so they gave up.

Ryan always takes his revenge without delay, they believed he would return soon. At this moment, they could only take care of themselves, moving their valuables next door to avoid damage during a potential fight.

In the short time they were moving things in their dorm, the corridor had filled with students. As the three of them tried to leave with their computers, they were blocked by a student at the door.

“Where do you think you’re going? Ryan said that no one from Dorm 306 is allowed to leave!” The speaker was the president of the school’s Taekwondo club, Thomas, who stood 1.82 meters tall with a sturdy build, bushy brows, and big eyes. His presence at the door felt like a small mountain blocking the way.

“Thomas, we… Ryan is probably after the guy inside, we’ve never offended Ryan.” A slightly chubby boy stammered, “We’re just moving our stuff next door to prevent it from getting damaged.”

“Huh? That’s a smart move!” Thomas gave a crooked smile, but quickly glared at them, barked, “Go back! If anything gets broken, Ryan will reimburse you! But Ryan said, no one from Dorm 306 is allowed to leave!”
