Chapter 592: Chapter 588: It Won’t Be An Exaggeration to Say It’s More Than That

Master Kingston wasn’t aware of the friction between his disciples over the past few days. However, he could sense that both Walter Yonne and Alfredo Mitchell seemed to not like their younger disciple, Timmy.

“I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but the way your younger brother approaches and looks at problems is different from the way I usually teach you guys.”

Walter Yonne remained silent, while Alfredo Mitchell asked.

“Is that a new method enlightened by you during your years of seclusion, Master?”

Master Kingston shook his head, “I estimate that’s more likely the approach and perspective of your junior sister Richelle.”

Alfredo exclaimed, “Oh, that’s a traditional method passed down from Ms. Seaton’s side!”

Master Kingston shook his head again, “Am I not familiar with your Aunt Seaton’s methods? It should be said that it’s a method and perspective unique to Richelle. After discussing with your Aunt Seaton a few days ago, we agreed that Richelle has surpassed her. And your little apprentice brother, Timmy, seems to be doing the same with Richelle.”

Alfredo was startled, “Master, do you mean Richelle will surpass Aunt Seaton in her future accomplishments?”

Master Kingston clicked his tongue, “Isn’t that inevitable? Have you all read the paper that won the gold award that she published recently?”

Alfredo nodded, feeling a bit shameful.

“I have read it, but there are some parts I don’t quite understand.”

Master Kingston nodded, “As expected, all of us older folks were shocked when we first saw that paper! In a way, from the moment that paper was published, your junior sister Richelle has already claimed a place equal to her Master.”

Alfredo gasped, “Richelle is only twenty-six, right? Aunt Seaton and you are on the same level. So, you godlike figures have already recognized that Richelle has caught up to you?”

Master Kingston laughed and sighed, “To say she has caught up is actually quite generous on our part. To my eyes, saying she has surpassed us wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”

It took a while for Alfredo to recover, “And the little disciple… really?”

Master Kingston burst into laughter, “Not really, indeed. He is still so young and lacks practical experience. Your Aunt Seaton and I believe that he will surpass Richelle eventually, and further improve upon her achievements. But that is something for the future. Right now, it’s naturally impossible.”

After saying this, Master Kingston revealed another harsh truth to Walter Yonne and Alfredo Mitchell.

“It will take some time for Timmy to surpass his mother. After all, Richelle is clearly not at her peak yet. But among his peers, if any of them slack off even slightly, he will probably surpass them.”

“What he suggested to Professor Steve yesterday is a solid proof. We old folks discussed on stage for half a day and never thought about that direction.”

Walter Yonne, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

“Master, is Professor Steve really planning to credit him on the paper?”

Master Kingston suddenly turned serious.

“With such a public event like yesterday, almost everyone in the field witnessed Timmy present his idea for the first time. If Professor Steve didn’t credit him, his reputation would be ruined. Besides, with his upright character, not crediting Timmy wouldn’t be consistent with his personal conduct.”

Alfredo also chimed in from the side, “I also feel that Professor Steve really admires our little brother.”

Master Kingston nodded, “Naturally. He even half-jokingly, half-seriously probed me about having Timmy become his disciple too!”

Walter Yonne was visibly shocked, “Did you agree, Master?”

Master Kingston shook his head, “Such a matter isn’t up to me to decide. However, your little brother declined.”

Now it was Walter Yonne’s turn to gasp.

“He personally declined Professor Steve? Master, did you hear it wrong?”

Master Kingston continued, “After Professor Steve asked me, I told him the decision was in the hands of Timmy and his parents. He then called your junior sister Richelle directly. Without making any decisions, Richelle handed the phone directly to Timmy, who declined him without a second thought.”

Alfredo asked curiously, “How did the little brother refuse, directly saying no?”

The Timmy that Alfredo knew was a straightforward person who doesn’t beat around the bush.

Master Kingston responded, “Of course not. He said that although he is my disciple, he still needs to study the subjects from his grandmother and mother, so he doesn’t have the energy to deal with a third subject.”

Walter Yonne, who had held his silence for a long time, lightly uttered.

“He’s really ambitious, thinking he can study two subjects. He’d be lucky to master one in his lifetime.”

Master Kingston looked at his elder disciple curiously, “Walter, didn’t you hear what I just said to your apprentice brother?”

Walter Yonne grunted, “I heard. He studied a few months with his mom before studying with you, Master. But what can he learn in just a few months? Isn’t that just scratching the surface?”

Master Kingston’s expression turned severe, “Then do you think what he learned from me in these months was just scratching the surface? Alfredo just said that he is now on par with his peers. In other words, after studying with Richelle for a few months, he has already reached at least undergraduate level..”
