Kalix pretended not to notice Jaxson's change of expression. Even if he didn't pretend, what could he do? Nothing, right?Jaxson examined the bank card carefully, his entire face displaying surprise. However, he didn't ask Kalix about it, fearing he might make a mistake. He could only swallow his uncertainty raw.They walked out of the restaurant, Jaxson turning towards his car. After a few steps, he realized Eugene wasn't following behind. Turning around, he saw the two of them walking side by side. Annoyance gripped Jaxson's heart. How could Eugene ignore him and choose to walk with that unfamiliar guy?Jaxson took decisive steps towards Eugene and Kalix, grabbed the girl's hand, and angrily said, "Come on, let's go home."Eugene was startled, reflexively pulled her hand away, and pushed Jaxson. When she realized it was Jaxson, she immediately apologized. "I thought someone else was pulling my hand.""Yeah, no problem." Jaxson didn't show his anger, he concealed every impatience beh
"Live streaming?""Yeah, I forgot to tell you. A guy named Rocky secretly live-streams what's happening in the restaurant," the system explained."Jaxson paid Rocky to embarrass you, he wanted Eugene to have a bad experience with you. But they didn't know that you were lucky enough to come from a good family background."Kalix listened carefully to the system's explanation of how Rocky intended to disgrace him in front of many people, especially those attending Chroma University.Of course, Kalix could only laugh at that old-fashioned approach.Once in his dorm room, he received a heated gaze from his roommate, Luke. Whatever was on Luke's mind when he saw him, it was clear that it was unusual.Not wanting to discuss trivial matters, Kalix ignored Luke. He cleaned up before sitting in his chair and staring at his laptop screen. There was a message from Nick.[You have a lot of great ideas and skills, do you have any intention of making your own game?]This question was eagerly awaited
Kalix clenched his fists, staring sharply at Jimmy, his expression darkening. It was the first time Kalix had been so aggressive in front of them, even the waiter accustomed to wealthy guests felt overwhelmed by Kalix's aura.Kalix's change in mood certainly frightened Jimmy. He took a few steps back, saying, "Do you want to hit me? I'll report this to the campus authorities."Jimmy's anger was completely subdued by Kalix's aura. His neck tensed, and he dared not block Kalix's way anymore.Only then did Kalix start to calm down. Not because Jimmy took the initiative to step aside, but due to a warning system in his mind. Not wanting to linger with them, he turned to Luke and invited him to go to the other side.The waiter dared not follow the two of them.As the atmosphere slowly thawed, Luke finally dared to speak to him."You looked really cool! It's like being the CEO of a company."Kalix didn't say anything, just murmured softly."Where did you get that kind of aura? Are you reall
“Oh, really?” The provocative words drew everyone’s attention like a magnet, coupled with Kalix’s dominating expression.The bespectacled waiter held his breath under the pressure, unconsciously glancing towards Jimmy and his friends standing not far away.“What’s going on? Why are you looking in their direction?” Kalix asked again, this time not hiding any of his aggressiveness.Jimmy was a bit nervous and trembled under the gaze of the bespectacled waiter, he swallowed hard. Then, nervously, he said, “Wh-what? I’m not guilty!”Kalix turned towards him, with a thin smirk and a sharp gaze, he retorted, “Oh, did I say you’re guilty?”Without concealing his aggressiveness, Kalix truly appeared dominating and intimidating. He unintentionally brought out that side of himself.Jimmy’s hands were trembling, and his face was slightly pale, he dared not look at Kalix. He was anxious and panicked, so when he spoke, his words were somewhat unclear. “Y-you... you’re too intimidating... you’re f
While waiting for the calculation results of all losses, Kalix heard the system speaking in his mind about the mission."Pay attention; the mission will appear in your mind shortly."Kalix furrowed his brow upon hearing this; of course, he couldn't show his emotions on his face, so he spoke to the system with a hint of annoyance."Are you serious? My business here is done, and I'm about to leave. Why does a new mission pop up now, huh?"The system heard Kalix's complaint in his tone but coldly vanished and chose to hide.Kalix could only sigh deeply and accept his fate.Shortly after, the system released the mission.[New Mission! Make Julie Dominic have an impression on the host!]Kalix stared at the name displayed in his mind with complexity. He remembered that name very clearly. Julie Dominic, Mason's current wife and the woman who indirectly killed his mother in a previous life. The woman he hated the most in two lifetimes.Even if Jane betrayed and deceived him for years, the hat
Such good acting! Kalix thought as he witnessed Julie’s skills.Truly a woman who can do anything for her dignity and reputation. Julie didn’t show the slightest negligence in the way she spoke to Kalix.If not for his past life experiences, Kalix would surely have fallen into this woman’s deceit again.He remembers when they met in a previous life, Julie approached him in the same manner, polite and friendly. She acted like a mother, slowly extracting information from him and planning to kill his mother, drive him out of the capital, ruin his business, and reputation.This woman didn’t care whether her actions could affect others’ lives or not, whether the consequences of her games could kill someone, cause despair, and so on. All she knew was that her reputation remained intact, and her self-worth stayed high in the eyes of many.Kalix despised her greatly, it was almost reflected in his eyes. If not warned by the system, Kalix might have rushed at Julie and choked her to death.Shi
In the evening, Carl visited the Kalix class. As the students in the class dispersed one by one, Carl approached Kalix and warmly embraced his shoulders. He laughed joyfully and said, “I didn’t expect you to be beaten by that old professor.” Feeling the embrace on his shoulders, Kalix turned to the side and looked at Carl with a flat expression. However, with just that look, Carl’s cheerful laughter came to a halt. He cleverly withdrew, taking a step back from Kalix’s side. With awkward laughter, he said, “Haha, I was just kidding.” Ignoring him, Kalix took a step forward. Although slightly dissatisfied, Carl followed him and spoke. “Do you know there’s a team meeting today?” “Mm,” Kalix replied shortly, not even bothering to give Carl a glance. “Do you know where it is?” Kalix shook his head honestly and said, “That’s why I need your help to take me there. Please.” Upon hearing this plea for help, Carl felt a sense of superiority in his heart. However, thinking of Kalix’s flat
Despite Kalix saying so, in reality, he had no interest in fighting today. However, if the other party desired it, he wouldn’t stop Carl and might even assist him a bit. The hypocrite Bernard intervened, “Don’t fight.” He stood by his friends and apologized on their behalf. Only now did Kalix fully shift his attention to Bernard, his gaze no longer indifferent but investigative.Despite Bernard’s gentle and polite appearance, Kalix knew he wasn’t as simple as he seemed. Considering Bernard’s close friendship with Jaxson, it was clear they both had duplicity in common. Kalix spoke to Bernard, “If your two friends apologize for their harsh words, this issue will be resolved.”“What did you say?! Apologize? Clearly, it’s this girl who’s at fault!” one of the two who spoke harshly retorted. Kalix, focusing on the speaker, didn’t hide the aggression in his eyes. “Don’t want to apologize?” Kalix asked coldly.Not only did the two feel Kalix’s strong aura, but Carl and his friends did too.
