Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 382 382: Rich Asf

As the AI ultra-engine school bus pulled up to the massive gates of the De Vera mansion, the guards stationed there approached the vehicle, their expressions stern and vigilant. The sleek, futuristic design of the bus contrasted sharply with the traditional stone walls and wrought iron gates, a symbol of the De Vera family's wealth and status.

The guards, clad in crisp uniforms and armed with the authority of their positions, stepped forward to intercept the bus. "State your purpose," one of them demanded, his voice firm and commanding.

Inside the bus, the teachers exchanged glances before one of them, a distinguished figure with an air of authority, spoke up. "We're here to pick up Adam," he announced, his tone carrying a hint of impatience. "We're on our way to Manila for the Elite Trial."

The guards regarded the teachers with a mixture of suspicion and deference, their eyes narrowing slightly as they processed the information. The prospect of escorting students of such high caliber to the prestigious Elite Trial was not one to be taken lightly, and they were keenly aware of the responsibility that lay upon their shoulders.

Meanwhile, the students inside the bus bristled at the guards' brusque manner, their confidence and indignation rising in equal measure. Unaccustomed to being met with such rudeness, they exchanged heated whispers and exchanged determined glances, steeling themselves for a confrontation.

In a bold display of defiance, one of the students stepped forward, his posture defiant and his gaze unwavering. "Who do you think you are, treating us like common criminals?" he challenged, his voice tinged with anger. "We demand to be treated with respect!"

The guards, sensing the rising tension, exchanged a knowing glance before one of them took a step forward, his aura pulsing with a palpable intensity. With a subtle gesture, he unleashed a surge of energy, the sheer force of it causing the students to falter and take a step back, their bravado momentarily shaken.

But before the situation could escalate further, the teachers intervened, their authoritative presence calming the fray. "Everyone, calm down," one of them admonished, his voice firm but measured. "Let's handle this with diplomacy, not aggression."

Respecting the teachers' authority, the guards relaxed their stance, their expressions softening as they acknowledged the wisdom of their words. After all, the teachers were not just ordinary individuals – they were esteemed members of the Extraordinary realm, their knowledge and expertise revered by all.

"Did you see how rude those guards were?" one student muttered indignantly, his brows furrowed in annoyance. "I mean, we're just here to pick up Adam for the Elite Trial. There's no need for them to be so hostile."

His sentiment was echoed by several others in the group, their faces contorted with frustration at the perceived rudeness of the guards. However, not everyone shared their outrage.

"Come on, guys, cut them some slack," Shawn, the class president, interjected, his voice calm and measured. "It's just their job to maintain security and ensure that everyone who enters the premises is authorized to do so. There's nothing personal about it."

Xin, Shawn's close friend and ally, nodded in agreement, his expression thoughtful. "Exactly. We can't blame them for doing what they're supposed to do. Besides, it's not like they're trying to pick a fight with us."

As the debate raged on, another group of students found themselves marveling at the sheer opulence of the De Vera mansion and its surrounding grounds.

"Man, can you imagine living in a place like this?" one of them exclaimed, his eyes widening with awe as he surveyed the vast expanse of land before them. "Adam is so lucky to have all this at his disposal."

His companions nodded in agreement, their gazes lingering on the manicured lawns, lush gardens, and elegant architecture that surrounded them. "Yeah, and have you seen all the expensive stuff they've got around here?" another student chimed in, pointing towards a cluster of rare flowers blooming nearby.

"Those Boquel Flowers are worth a fortune," someone else added, gesturing towards the vibrant blossoms. "And don't even get me started on that Volcano Mini Fountain – I heard it's made of pure gold!"

"Adam's family are rich as fuck!"
