For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was tense. It was evident from any perspective that Kalix had the upper hand in his silence over Bernard.After a prolonged silence, Kalix spoke, “It’s okay if you don’t have an answer. I’ll provide an answer to someone else later.”He then sat back in his place.In reality, the application concept introduced by Bernard wasn’t entirely the same as the one lost by Carl’s group. Some parts of the application had even undergone modifications, but overall, everything remained on the same track.That’s why Kalix had the courage to ask that annoying question earlier.Bernard might not have expected Carl’s group to create another application quickly for competition, so he calmly used the stolen material without making many changes.Bernard’s actions could be considered bold but also foolish. However, who told him to have strong backing?As Kalix sat down, he received two thumbs up from each of his teammates. It was a somewhat amusing sight, so he coul
Bernard strides arrogantly onto the podium. Deep within his bead-like eyes, satisfaction and a sense of triumph gleam, carefully concealed from the onlookers. He pretends to be humble. Unfortunately, not everyone witnessing is clueless youth. For the adults who’ve faced various life challenges and encountered many characters like Bernard, this act is all too familiar. Standing before the podium, holding a gold medal, Bernard scans the crowd, wearing a polite smile. “Thank you all; hard work eventually yields ability, and ability is more important than speed.” Kalix, hearing the last sentence, can’t help but find it amusing, suppressing a mocking laugh. What could be going through Bernard’s mind to make him so arrogant? Despite this, Kalix remains silent, offering no objections or signs of anger. Bernard, who has been discreetly observing him from the start, feels unsatisfied. This isn’t the reaction Bernard hoped to elicit from Kalix. On the other side, Carl shows displeasure.
With Mr. Celeste’s progress indirectly supporting Kalix and his friends, it certainly prompted some people who knew him to step forward.The situation was chaotic for a moment, but gradually calmed down after decisions were made as fairly as possible. Students not suspected of involvement and invited guests were allowed to leave first, while the competition staff discussed the issues and sought the truth.Kalix was detained to submit the evidence he had. However, after that, he was allowed to leave.As he walked out of the room, he was greeted by his other friends.Carl approached and placed his hand on Kalix’s shoulder. With a deep breath, he said disgustedly, “They really have no shame! In a competition like this, they use the power of money!”Not only Carl, but others also felt the same disgust.“It’s okay, those people won’t dare to trivialize this issue because it concerns the school’s reputation. Not to mention the many pieces of evidence showing Jaxson and Bernard’s cheating.”
The victory of Carl’s group should have brought joy to Professor Anderson, but currently, he wore the most dismal expression in the dean’s office.Professor Anderson snorted coldly as he said, “You know Kalix’s abilities, he can be considered a one-in-ten-thousand talent, and yet, we’re letting him drop out of school.”The dean, powerless, sighed, his expression complicated and reluctant. “I tried to persuade him, but he insisted on his decision. Even his guardian agrees and leaves the decision to Kalix.”Hearing this, Professor Anderson could only contain his raw dissatisfaction.What could he do when persuasion alone couldn’t accomplish it?Seeing his complex expression, the dean said, “Why don’t you try persuading him? Perhaps your persuasion will move his heart.”“Impossible. Kalix is not easily swayed. When he says he’s leaving school, he will do as he said.”A sound of an object falling, the two old men simultaneously turned toward the source. The assistant dean awkwardly smiled
Despite his laughter, Kalix’s gaze was razor-sharp, as if wielding the sharpest knife that could cut through Jayden’s skin. His appearance was clearly more intimidating than witnessing explosive anger.Jayden unconsciously held his breath and took a step back.Seeing this, Kalix mocked before saying, “Watch your words, don’t demean my mother! Your Dominic family means nothing to my mother or to me.”Feeling Kalix’s sharpness, how could Jayden still have the courage to provoke him? He fell silent, but his mind actively considered various plans.Even if he wasn’t particularly fond of his family, he knew how significant their presence was in his life. If his parents and older brother were just ordinary people without wealth and power, he would grow up as an ordinary person, unable to enjoy a pleasant life.So, when he heard Kalix belittling the Dominic family, Jayden felt anger and a desire to silence him. Unfortunately, he lacked that courage.Kalix knew that Jayden was contemplating fa
It seemed like the morning sun was shining brightly, its warmth penetrating even through Kalix’s closed eyelids. However, for some reason, rain started to fall moments later, its drops hitting Kalix’s face, jolting him awake.Opening his eyes in surprise, he found himself looking at a familiar face. Realizing the situation, he complained, “Mom, what are you doing? I told you not to wake me up by splashing water on my face.”Despite his words conveying dissatisfaction, Kalix didn’t feel angry at all. After all, this was the life he had once dreamed of in the past.His mother, Grace, snorted upon hearing her son’s complaint and retorted sharply, “Look at the time! Nick came to pick you up all neatly dressed, but look at yourself...”Grace sighed deeply and continued in a weakened tone, “You can’t even get up on your own.”“Mom, I can get up on my own. You don’t need to bother waking me up.”Tapping her son’s forehead without excessive force, Grace continued scolding him, “If I didn’t wa
"Yes, I will filter them and convey it as you said," Tommy replied, feeling a bit powerless, but deep down, he nurtured a bit of confidence in Kalix's abilities.Seeing his demeanor, Kalix nodded in satisfaction. "The same goes for you. If you're reluctant to be a subordinate, you can resign."Tommy immediately shook his head and hastily responded, "No, no. I will continue to work here, be your subordinate."The man in his forties lowered his head. His aspiration was to create the most famous and successful game studio. Although he couldn't achieve it, he didn't want his efforts to be in vain. So, he could only sell it and hope the new owner could develop the games he had created.After a lengthy discussion, a deal was made, and the agreement was signed. Kalix and Nick didn't linger, they went to register the name of their game company: State-of-Art.It was the same name as the technology company they developed in their previous lives.After going through a series of procedures, Kalix
The ‘stealing’ accusation gradually spread to other forums and became a hot topic. It even started appearing in unrelated gaming forums. Gossip accounts and information in Oakville began highlighting the issue. Kalix didn’t show frustration, influencing his colleagues. Instead of dwelling on the problem, they focused on other improvements. Meanwhile, Kalix brought Tommy to discuss the matter after leaving him for a day. “What’s your take on this issue?” Kalix asked, not looking at Tommy but tinkering with his laptop. Tommy sighed and answered, “I suspect the ones making those hammer statements are my former colleagues.” “Yes, indeed,” Kalix said calmly, as if mentioning his breakfast menu. Having worked with Kalix for over a month, Tommy understood the young man’s demeanor. Despite his youthful age and handsome, seemingly pampered face, he was firm. In decision-making and planning, everything was done decisively and accurately. That’s why Tommy slowly let go of his reservations
