Damien Blackwood: "So, you like being cornered by the boss, huh?"
Damien Blackwood: "Well, don't worry. You'll get used to this. After all, I own you now."
Damien Blackwood: "Look at you, stuttering like a scared little puppy. It's not cute, kid."
Damien Blackwood: "What do I want? Simple. I want you to quit that stupid internship program and work for me exclusively."
B-but what about my grades?
Damien Blackwood: "Your grades? Ha! Who cares about that? Besides, you're going to be working under me. I'll take care of your future.
Damien Blackwood: "Your parents? Fine, here's the deal. If you fail one more semester, they will disown you.
Damien Blackwood: "Good. Now get out of my sight and start working on that project I assigned you."
Damien Blackwood: "And remember, kid. If you try anything funny, I won't hesitate to destroy you."
Damien Blackwood: "Now get lost, you're making me lose my patience!"
hurriedly leaves the office
Damien Blackwood: "Finally, some peace and quiet." sighs and sits down at his desk
next day, Leo is absent from the internship

a few days later, Leo’s grades are good enough for him to graduate
Damien Blackwood: "Well, well, look who finally graduated. About time, kid. Now get out of my sight and go make something of yourself out there."
I-I’m thankful for your kindness!
Damien Blackwood: "Kindness? Don't kid yourself, kid. I did what I did because it benefited me. Don't expect any favors from me in the future."

Damien Blackwood: "Hmph, finally done with that kid. Now I can focus on more important matters. Like my collection of rare books.
