"Alright... then, Store Manager, I want the most expensive snack you have in your store. Get me enough so that all the friends present here can have one each!" Anaya Mira smiled as she spoke to the old shopkeeper, gesturing toward a particular snack.  

'Let's see how you can flaunt in front of me, daring to flirt with me when you don't have a dime in your pockets,' Anaya Mira thought as she glanced back at Devansh after placing her order with the Store Manager.  

"Whoa... damn, Beauty Anaya Mira is sure ruthless. Hehehe... that guy is going to cough up blood for acting high and mighty, trying to flaunt in front of her," a man who was already annoyed with Devansh for getting Anaya Mira's attention scowled coldly and laughed upon hearing her order.  

"Who said he could flirt with her? Doesn't he know when to back down?" another jealous student commented coldly.  

While others were badmouthing him, Devansh paid them no heed and took out his Black Diamond Card, swiping it without hesitation.  

"Thank you for the purchase, young lady and young man. Your order of 55,000 Aquarius will be ready in a few minutes. Please wait calmly while we prepare your snacks," the shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear. For a few seconds, even he was stunned before responding professionally.  

"What... did the shopkeeper say? 55,000 Aquarius... Damn!"  

"No way... did I hear him right? He just paid 55,000 without blinking... 4uck... this is unbelievable!"  

"Did we just make fun of a hidden second-generation?"  

The students present fussed over the quick spending of 55,000 Aquarius on snacks.  

'Damn... did I just make a mistake? Was he rich all along, and I got fooled into believing he was a pauper?' Anaya was also stunned, freezing in place with a cracked smile on her face.  

"Are those snacks enough? Why not buy drinks along with them?" Devansh commented offhandedly, thinking it was way too little if he calculated his 10 percent cut.  

"Oh my God, that's so cool...!"  

"He swiped the card like it's nothing to him... and he's asking if it's enough? Damn...!"  

The gold diggers and ass-kissers had their switches flipped, their eyes gleaming as they practically drooled over Devansh, eager to curry favor with him.  

"Hey... don't mind if I do! Manager, add the drinks too—yes, the most expensive ones!" Anaya Mira, who felt she had been fooled by this idiot-looking brat, didn't hesitate and ordered the drinks as well.

"Nice... can we get to know each other on ChatWise?" Devansh grinned playfully as he swiped the card again before showing his phone screen, where his social media app scanner was open.  

"Hehe... what's the hurry? We can do that later, but before that... I want to see your sincerity!" Anaya Mira also grinned as she gestured at him.  

Anaya Mira distributed the snacks and drinks among all the students present in the store before she led Devansh to another place.  

A little walk later, they arrived at the famous hotspot for young ladies—a shopping mall known for its branded items like handbags, heels, designer dresses, accessories, etc.  

'Hehe... let's see how rich you are. I will make sure to wring you dry!' Anaya Mira thought as she entered Dio Mart.  

"Now, this is serious... I hope she can spend well!" Devansh muttered, looking at the high-end stuff present in the shopping mall as he walked in.  

"I am not a materialistic woman, so don't think I am taking advantage of you. You are the one who made this offer, so don't think ill of me," Anaya explained while her legs didn’t stop as she entered the handbag shop, which was also the first shop in the mall.  

"Not at all. Like I said, pick whatever you like." Devansh smirked as he shook his head, showing he was not the least bit bothered by it.  

'Hey... I have a large appetite. I don't think you have what it takes to make me full!' Devansh thought as he grinned playfully, looking at Anaya Mira, who was choosing a premium handbag with a shine in her eyes.  

"Humph... typical woman," Devansh mumbled, seeing how excited Anaya Mira was, playing around in the shop.  

"Miss... can you pack that for me?" Anaya pointed at the most costly handbag in the shop and asked the shopkeeper to pack it for her, while she didn’t forget to glance at Devansh from the corner of her eyes to see his reaction.  

But noticing he wasn't the least bit bothered by her actions, she snorted and decided to go even harder with the next items she would be buying today.  

'Let's see how much longer you remain smug, you show-off brat!' Anaya Mira thought with slight irritation on her beautiful face.  

Anaya, without wasting any more time, went to the next shop, which was a branded high-heels store, and ordered the premium, best-of-the-shop items.  

She didn’t stop there—she kept going from one shop to another, from high-end designer dresses to cosmetics and accessories. She bought everything available in Dio Mart.  

"Now, what's left to see... you know I don’t mind, but can't you do something about these shopping bags of yours?" Devansh sweat-dropped a little and felt like his hands were falling off from carrying so many shopping bags.

"Huh... can't you carry a lady's shopping bags for her? Weren't you flaunting around before... Humph!" Anaya Mira, who was already annoyed by not getting the reaction she wanted from Devansh, snorted at him before walking toward the last shop in Dio Mart.  

"What do you take me for? Hey... lady, listen to me when I'm talking!" Devansh wanted to scold her for using him like a cheap boyfriend who was only good for carrying her stuff, but Anaya had already walked into the last shop, leaving him talking to himself.  

"Hey... isn't that the infamous Leash Lover? Who is he with this time?" A few boys present in the shop recognized Devansh’s face and started murmuring among themselves.  

"Huh... fantastic. Some busybody recognized me," Devansh grimaced upon hearing the murmurs among the boys.  

"Hey... look, he really is with someone... what a beauty!" Their gaze then landed on Anaya Mira, who was gesturing for Devansh to come over.  

"Damn... he already found a master. Looks like the slave won’t settle down without someone to order him around, even for a day... Hahaha!" A boy commented disdainfully and laughed with his friends.  

But Devansh wasn’t paying attention to them because he recognized a familiar voice next to him.  

"Darling... can you buy me this brand? I love this fragrance." A familiar voice of a lady made him turn around.  

"Aranya Sen...!"

    "Huh... Devansh Magnus, what are you doing here?" Aranya Sen also turned to him as she recognized him upon hearing a familiar tone. She asked with widened eyes and a skeptical look on her face. "Hmm... who is this, your ex-girlfriend? Why does she look like she just encountered the plague... Oops, sorry... sorry, I didn’t mean to blurt it out for you!" Anaya Mira, seeing the chance to annoy him, blurted out playfully while watching Devansh and Aranya Sen's reactions toward each other. "Plague, huh...!" Devansh did feel a crack in his heart, and his smile faded upon hearing her comment. 'What’s this loser doing here? Is he trying to cause me trouble by following me around? Damn it... I shouldn’t have gone easy on him!' Aranya coldly snorted as she thought, seeing Devansh not replying and just staring at her. "What... are you still following me? Let me make it clear for you.

    As Devansh was busy with his thought process, meanwhile, the crowd was heating up, seeing the unexpected outcome between the rich-looking man and a pauper. "So, the so-called pauper was actually a second-generation hidden tycoon, while the one pretending to be rich turned out to be a broke fool who can't even buy his girlfriend a gift." Hushed whispers flew around the shop among the people present. "Damn, Syri! Good thing you took the chief’s advice seriously, or who knows what kind of disaster would’ve happened today because of some wannabe rich kid who can’t even afford a Marilyn Meri brand." Another saleslady whispered to her friend while covering her mouth with her hand. "Yeah, I never thought things would turn out this way. Phew... Luckily, I didn’t judge him by his appearance, or I would’ve dug my own grave!" The saleslady nodded back, glancing towards Devansh and patting her chest in relief as she looked back at her friend. "Humph... It's because of these pretentious fo

    'Huh... what happened? Did I say something wrong?' Devansh was taken aback, seeing the favorability drop suddenly, not understanding what was wrong with what he said. "No... It's enough for today, and we aren't that familiar with each other to have a candlelight dinner." Anaya Mira said in an awkward tone, backing off slightly. She didn't want to go that fast, even if he had shown great interest in her and showered her with many expensive gifts. But she didn’t think it was a good idea to continue further. "Devansh Magnus, I am a university student at MariaGold University of Technology. This year I turned 22. My favorite color is maroon blue. Is that enough? I can go on if you like." Devansh took Anaya's hand abruptly and started telling her about himself with a confident tone. "Hehe... It's alright. As for me, I am Anaya Mira, an art student at the University of Arts and Commerce. My favorite color is dark pink. I like to enjoy the company of dashing and handsome men who are a

    "Huh... what the hell does she want now?" Devansh looked at his phone, specifically at 'ChatWise', where a message was blinking. He didn’t expect that bitch to still have the gall to message him. "Aranya_Sen01: Let's just unfriend each other. I don't think you still want to see my name on your friend list." "Oh... she just wants to unfriend each other. That's good. I thought she was trying to get back together after seeing me spending money like water for Anaya Mira." Devansh thought. While sighing in relief, he didn’t really want to deal with her. But before he responded, she messaged him again. "Aranya_Sen01: I didn’t get back together with Young Master Graves because I wanted to experience the vanity of luxury. It’s because my mother is ill, and I need money urgently for her treatment.""What the hell is she explaining this to me for? I don’t give a rat’s ass who she goes out with." Devansh thought with a cold look as he sneered at her. "Magnus_OO7: I don’t care, and you h

Even Xiaomai was bewildered—she forgot for a moment that she was live before collecting herself. "Xiaomai: Thank you, Mr. Magnus. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness in supporting me." Xiaomai expressed her gratitude with a happy smile on her face. She couldn't help but feel excited by it. "Ha... you really are ignorant. Let me show you what a truly magnificent rain of gifts looks like... Haha!" Devansh snickered at the snobby fans and grinned as he furiously clicked on the 'Golden Castle' button, sending a flurry of gifts to Xiaomai’s live channel. "Xiaomai: Ohhh... my... God, this... this!"Even Xiaomai, who was sitting in her room, had a hard time understanding what had just happened—just how many gifts had this hidden tycoon gifted her?

The first roommate nodded as he quickly picked up his bag and got ready to leave for class. "Wait... why is class so important today?" Devansh asked, seeing his pig roommates suddenly so enthusiastic about attending. "Hey... you don’t remember? It’s a general class today, and we’ll have the chance to sit next to Goddess Ratna and admire her mesmerizing beauty up close." Both roommates replied with a weird shine in their eyes. "You mean Kiran Ratna will be attending class today? What are we waiting for then? Let’s go!" Hearing Kiran Ratna’s name, Devansh instantly changed his clothes, grabbed his bag, and darted out of the dorm in a flash. "What the 4uck... how did he change that fast?" His roommates stood there, shocked, their mouths wide open as they cursed at his sudden change in attitude. "Wait for us, 4ucker!" They chased after him. .....MariaGold Un

    As the teacher, who had already heard the commotion, couldn't help but sigh and ignore them before ending the class shortly. "Wait...!" Just as Goddess Kiran was about to leave the class, Devansh hurriedly spoke, stopping her. "Damn... one pesky guy left, and another came. Even though you look handsome, I won't let you mess around with my friend." Goddess Kiran's friend became angry again, seeing another person come to bother her friend. "Haha... don't count me in the same league as that toad," Devansh said as he looked at Kiran Ratna with a small smile. "So how are you any different from that slick and cowardly guy?" Goddess Kiran's friend asked in a cold tone. "Damn, this guy is brave." The students present in the class also stopped to watch the drama. "He really is being so upfront, not afraid of getting slapped... Haha!" Devansh's roommates commented and sneered at his bravery, fully hoping the guy would get slapped hard. "Haha... you can tell by observing. By the wa

The blonde Young Master became incensed upon hearing Devansh's savage reply and almost jumped at him before he was caught by his lackeys. They looked around and saw that others were also present. Not wanting to get into trouble with the professor, they stopped their troublemaker Young Master before he really caused a scene."Young Master, calm down." the first lackey said in the blonde's ear, in a hushed tone."Yes, you need to calm down and look around; if you cause trouble like last time, you might be suspended this time." the second lackey reminded the Blonde Young Master of something, which immediately made him calm down."Humph... I am letting him go today, but I won't let him get away after humiliating me!" the Blonde Young Master huffed, glaring at Devansh before he shrugged off his lackeys' hold.Devansh ignored the stuck-up loser and looked at h

His roommates, early in the morning, started to make a ruckus, waking him up from his sleep."Which promise are we talking about...?" Devansh asked in a groggy state; he just wanted to go back to sleep."What... you bastard, did you really forget, or were you just making fun of us?" They shook his shoulders, making him wake up from his sleep."Stop... shaking me so much, I am awake now." Devansh, who got annoyed with all the shaking, pushed them slightly, making them stumble into an awkward position with their legs on their beds and heads on the floor."Oops... sorry... sorry, can you get up?" Devansh apologized before helping them sit down."When did you get so strong?" The roommates looked at him as if he had suddenly grown two horns on his head."Wasn't I always that strong? Forget that.

    "Alright, it's decided. I'll be taking this apartment building. Name your price," Devansh said, hearing the detailed explanation and looking around the apartments. He instantly made his decision."15 million," Mord Jauhar said, this time making sure to increase the price from the original price of 10 million."Here, swipe it, and transfer the building in her name." Devansh took out his black card without blinking and handed it to Mord to complete the transfer swiftly."Here, Ms., congratulations. From now on, you are the owner of this apartment building." As everything was prepared beforehand, it was swiftly transferred to Anaya Mira's name. Mord Jauhar’s assistant handed her the property deed and keys with a warm smile while offering her congratulations."Ehhh... me...!" Anaya Mira accepted in a dazed expression, not understanding that she had just become a building owner out of nowhere."Yes, now that it belongs to you. This building shall be called Mira's Residence.

    "Devansh, how do I look?" Anaya came out from the room as she asked, looking at Devansh.Anaya wore a white one-piece sundress that looked light and soft, like a gentle breeze on a warm day. The dress hugged her slim waist and flowed down to her knees, swaying slightly as she moved. The pure white color made her look even more beautiful, almost like an angel standing in the sunlight. Her hair, left loose, framed her glowing face perfectly, and her shy smile made her even more charming."You look stunning, Anaya." Devansh couldn't take his eyes off her; she looked sweet, fresh, and simply stunning. He felt a warm current in his body, and had an urge to hug her and kiss those soft lips."Hehe...!" Anaya smiled happily, seeing the stunned look on Devansh's face."Alright... let's go," Devansh controlled his impulse before he stood up as he said, but his eyes never left her."Hmmn...!" Anaya nodded as she smiled sweetly while she swayed her hips, making sure Devansh was hypnotized by her

    While Devansh was busy admiring the greatness of the System, five men wearing black hoodies arrived and were in quite an angry state, their eyes were spewing fire as their nostrils flared upon seeing the smug look of Devansh, before charging forward."Ahhh... Shit...!" Devansh, who noticed the angry stares, grimaced and tried to run but got surrounded quickly by them."Looks like I need to use plan B...!" Looking at their gleaming knives pointed at him, Devansh, who already had his phone in his hands, clicked before pocketing it again. Hearing the rustle from a few hundred meters away from their location, he smiled widely at them."Oops... looks like your time is up, buddies." Devansh shook his head in a mocking tone before he fell on the ground, and as if on cue, several men wearing gear and carrying batons charged in quick steps."Freeze... This is the police, drop your weapons now... and put your hands on the back of your neck!" Immediately a heavy authoritative voice boomed in the

Kiran said in hesitation, knowing hiring maid services would be troublesome for Devansh."It’s no trouble at all, it’s just a matter of a phone call. Don’t worry about it." Devansh smiled at Kiran’s hesitation as he explained that it was no big deal for him."Al... alright then...!" Kiran accepted Devansh’s spoiling."Hey... hey, is he trying to give you a hint...?"

    "Yes, it sure is a nice place. But it should also be very expensive." Kiran also liked the villa's design, but she could guess from the decor alone that it would be very costly to live here. She also wondered why Devansh had brought her here.Just as they arrived inside, a middle-aged man was waiting for them."Are you Mr. Magnus?" the middle-aged man asked in a hesitant tone, seeing Devansh so young."Yes. You must be Mr. HeadHunter, correct? Nice to meet you." Devansh nodded as he extended his hand."Yes... yes, my name is Mord Jauhar. It’s a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Magnus."

Kelvin Kali opened his cold eyes as he put down the glass of whiskey before opening the letter with a frown on his serious face.After reading the letter, Kelvin Kali's expression soured, and a ruthless glint passed in his eyes as he looked back at his lieutenant, Marcus Mily."Did you find the mole? Who is sending the information about our business dealings to Benjamin Maurya, that crazy hound?" Kelvin asked in his gruff and cold tone."No... we tried to look into everyone we might have suspicions about, but none of them were the mole.
