Such brazen presumption gave Evan pause, but his voice soon continued.

"Mr. Connor, we require no alternative candidates. Your sole task is production. Moreover, I've heard this newcomer myself - her voice is full, resonant, with impressive projection. From a vocal standpoint, she should prove more than adequate."

Evan's polite yet firm refusal through the receiver creased Connor's brow. "Then am I to understand you are declining my proposal, Mr. Smith?"

Before Connor could continue, Evan's laughter echoed from the other end.

"I fear you misunderstand, Mr. Connor. The $5 million fortune I've paid is solely to secure your production assistance on this album, not for you to recommend replacements for my company's talent."

"You would do well to remember - you are my employee, not my superior. Quite the contrary, I am your employer, for you have accepted my commissioning fee."

"I neither need nor welcome an employee dictating my decisions! Thus, I must decline your proposal."

    Hmph, seeing that look, Connor suddenly felt the fool. He had fancied Tiktoc a mere serpent, when in truth this Lumina City viper dwarfed even dragons! Else how could they have overnight acquired the companies of juggernauts Rachel and Parker? How else could Lumina City's termination arrive within a minute?Just what manner of behemoth was this Tiktoc, and who was the young man behind its veil? Despite his renown, before them he was but a gnat fruitlessly assailing a tree - blacklisted on a whim. Nay, his feeble buzzing likely could not even sway its branches!He dared not contemplate the true extent of their might across Lumina City."Darling Connor, how did your negotiations go? When do I sign the contract?" Oblivious Kylie inquired of the sweat-drenched Connor. Instantly, Connor channeled every ounce of fury into his right hand as it struck her viciously across the face."Wretched woman, you've ruined me! You'll be the death of me yet!"Meanwhile, upon receiving the phone, Adam a

    "Here is my proposal - sign a new contract, join Tiktoc and mentor our talents free of charge. Moreover, any future television opportunities shall require your promotion of our artists in turn.""What say you?"Adam's terms exceeded even Evan's - not only must Connor tutor Bella gratis, but nurture any future signees while promoting them relentlessly across every talent competition!Yet there was a certain satisfaction in thoroughly humbling this once-arrogant showman. And imagine, molding a legion of the company's future stars!"Yes, yes, of course!" Connor's frantic nodding reminded one of a ravenous chicken pecking at crumbs. "I accept, gladly! Anything to avoid universal blacklisting. Not only shall I mentor your fresh talents without fee, I shall champion them on every television stage, you have my word!""Very well."Adam nodded once. "Then resume Miss Smith's guidance forthwith. I shall have the contract printed and delivered directly.""Yes, of course. Miss Smith, if you woul

    "Understood."Adam nodded his comprehension before raising another point. "One more matter - now that Bella's debut single is complete, shall we utilize Parker and Rachel's former companies' distribution channels for its release?""Traditional distribution is too sluggish. And if the single proves a hit, we'd need a full album's worth of additional tracks, an unnecessary hassle." Evan contemplated briefly before responding."Instead, since Tiktoc specializes in livestreaming, have all our hosts begin using this song as background music from tonight onwards.""Then instruct Connor to heavily promote it during his upcoming television appearances." "Lastly, forge partnerships with popular short video platforms and pour substantial funds into cross-promotion across their channels. Connor's $5 million fee can finance this initiative - and if more is required, I shall supplement you this afternoon.""Very good, understood!"Adam checked his watch, noting the late hour. "Mr. Smith, I'll se

    Of course, sour rebukes were never in short supply."Hmph, you're all marveling at his money and prowess, but has nobody questioned the source of his fortune? What if it came from illicit channels? They'll lock him up in the end, hmph!""Precisely! I heard in his freshman and sophomore years he was just a broke loser. Didn't you hear Mr. Johnson mention he was a mere Tiktoc summer intern before this semester? Then suddenly he's rolling in dough? There's definitely something fishy going on!""Yeah, I'm in his class, I can attest - he used to be utterly destitute, depressingly so. No idea where all this money materialized from.""..."Evan paid no heed to the raucous murmurings as he strode toward the stage, Adam deferentially retreating behind him with a hushed "Mr. Smith."Evan cast him a sidelong glance before taking the microphone. "Well, first off, I thank Mr. Johnson for this honor!" "However, I must stress that I've done little to deserve such recognition. I merely interned at

    "Indeed, I knew the $50 million, privileges, and lovely hosts would prove immensely alluring!" Evan gave a faint nod. "From this moment, mobilize all personnel from Tiktoc, YouClub, and our entertainment branches. Embark on an acquisition blitz across Lumina City's enterprises - scale and capital are no objects. We're firing the opening salvo to secure commercial dominance over this city!""Now?" Adam gaped."Yes, time is short - fund it all through my accounts!"A roguish grin played across Evan's lips. "Once your acquisitions are underway, we shall thoroughly vanquish any remaining holdouts unwilling to join our fold! Ah, but Clark Group's assets in Lumina are to be left untouched for now.""Um, very well. But shouldn't we at least notify Lumina's mayor? Such a massive takeover is bound to raise governmental alarms!"Evan's gaze drifted into the distance as he murmured, "No need. I suspect they'll be coming to me before long."The afternoon hour struck three.Adam hastened back to T

    The balding man scoffed derisively. "And which arrogant enterprise boasts such brazen folly – employees neglecting their duties to pursue acquisitions? Is your employer a tycoon of mythical wealth?"This naive little girl amused him far more than any mobile game. Toying with her simple mind would provide ample entertainment.Entertaining such thoughts, the balding owner swiveled his phone upon the counter, squinting as he continued, "Might I inquire, young lady, where you attend university and who your employer is? You seek to acquire my establishment, yet I sense you lack the authority to broker such a deal. Allow me to propose an equitable solution – I am the proprietor here, and your superior is a proprietor as well. A dialogue between equals would be fitting.""You wish to converse with my employer? Does this imply a willingness to sell?" Hailey, naive in worldly affairs, failed to detect his mocking tone. "Yet I know not my employer's number, only Mr. Matthew's contact."The bald

    "Certainly. Matthew is quite amiable.""Was that Matthew's voice earlier? He sounds remarkably young.""No, they mentioned Mr. Smith, though I'm unfamiliar with him. Yet the voice seemed so familiar...""..."Tucking the contract safely into her bag, Hailey forwarded the balding man's bank details to the finance department. Less than three minutes later, his phone alerted him to a $700,000 deposit.Then, within a minute, another message arrived from Tiktoc's official number: "Mr. Smith acknowledges your struggles. As a gesture of goodwill, an additional $100,000."The shopkeeper gaped at this message, awestruck."Tiktoc truly is affluent!"Simultaneously, a flicker of trepidation stirred within his pupils. "If Tiktoc acquires even insignificant establishments like mine, what are their ultimate intentions?"Matthew's intern Hailey made swift progress, securing Tiktoc's auspicious first acquisition.After all, her assigned southwestern district belonged to Lumina City's older quarters,

    "Hah, such arrogant boasts from a mere brat!" The leader scanned the onlookers before fixing his mocking gaze upon Evan. "Your companion started off equally full of bluster, swaggering into our territory. No sooner had he planted his backside in Mr. Turner's office, legs insolently propped, than he demanded outright acquisition of our establishment. Behold his current state.""His current state?" Evan's piercing stare demanded elaboration, word by measured word."Why, ejected by Mr. Turner, of course!"Under Evan's relentless scrutiny, the man suppressed an involuntary shudder, glancing nervously at the surrounding masses. After a prolonged pause to steady his nerves, reassured by the protective crowd, he mustered false bravado. Stepping forward, spittle flew as he sneered, "Take your lackey and begone. Seek competent psychiatric care – you both appear gravely afflicted!""Indeed." A glimmer of icy menace flickered in Evan's eyes. "Perhaps I neglected to mention – I despise excessive

    "You dare sneak attack me?" Timothy Daniels spat as he rose from the ground, clutching his face. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Do you realize that slapping an Immortal Emperor is a crime punishable by death? You, an insignificant ant, dare to insult the dignity of this Emperor?""Idiot," Evan muttered, watching Timothy bare his teeth in frustration, the word slipping from his lips with a casual indifference."Fuck! Do you really think I’m just a kitten with no claws?" Timothy roared, his rage finally boiling over. He raised his hands, forming seals in the air and casting several spells in quick succession.Golden light burst from his body, transforming into a vicious, snarling black bear that lunged at Evan with a roar.This was a strike Timothy had infused with every ounce of his power. He was certain Evan would be sent flying, just as he had been moments before.After all, this blow carried the weight of a thousand pounds. Anyone who faced the charge of this monstrous bear was

    So why were they all bowing and offering him their utmost respect? The answer was obvious—this was undoubtedly the handiwork of Landon and Matthew.Hmm, I’ll have to remind them not to do this again, Evan thought. It’s nice to receive all this admiration, sure, but I still need to maintain my low profile here in Elysia.Thus, he tried to provide an explanation, hoping his classmates would at least remain uncertain, if not entirely convinced.His words left his classmates dumbfounded, their minds swirling with confusion.After finishing his explanation, Evan casually strolled out, leaving behind a group of stunned classmates still trying to make sense of what had just happened."I don’t believe it. There’s no way Evan’s just an ordinary person. He must be someone much more important.""Do you think if we reported something, the embassy officials would really treat us the same way?""Probably not."Violet Mills and the other girls, watching Evan’s departing figure, felt a pang of disapp

    “They’re over there,” someone finally said.“Thank you.” The man moved gracefully toward them, handing each of them a formal letter.“This is a presidential decree signed by President Donald of Aleria. It states that your companies’ trade relations with our country have been terminated. Multiple violations of our foreign trade laws were discovered in the products and technologies your companies exported to Aleria.”After delivering the notices, the man turned toward Evan, bowing deeply. “President Donald asked me to convey his warm regards to you and to wish you good health.”Evan waved dismissively. “Got it. Tell that old man to take care of his own health as well.”“Thank you for your concern. I will pass along your message,” the man said before quietly leaving the room.Clang!The entire room seemed to tremble as the weight of the situation finally hit the classmates. Their minds were reeling, their understanding of the world shattering.Even a fool could now see that Evan was behi

    Violet Mills and the other pretty girls were now completely love-struck, their eyes filled with admiration, their faces flushed with desire.Wow, Evan’s handsome, he’s rich, and he’s kind. Does he have a girlfriend? If he does, would he mind having another?Meanwhile, Wayne, Juliette, and the other classmates who had cozied up to Timothy were fuming, their hair practically standing on end with regret. Why did we ever suck up to Timothy Daniels? they thought bitterly. Evan’s the real deal!Had they stuck with Evan, they’d have grabbed at least $1 million by now!As for Timothy Daniels and his group, they sat there in stunned silence, their minds reeling, their faces ashen, completely frozen like statues.$20 million… How are we supposed to compete with that?Even if we could somehow come up with that much cash, we’d be bleeding money, and our companies would have no liquidity left. We’d be bankrupt in no time!This is humiliating. Evan didn’t just slap our faces; he’s dragged us throug

    When they opened it, their eyes widened in shock, their jaws dropping as they stared at the numbers on their screens. The gasps that filled the room were stifled, as if the air itself had been sucked out.For five seconds, the room was dead silent.Then, the box erupted with ear-splitting shrieks."Holy crap! Evan just sent $1 million! Oh my God, I just grabbed $100,000!""Fuck, Evan’s the real hidden tycoon here! A $1 million envelope? I got $100,000 too!"Thud.Timothy Daniels and the others’ phones slipped from their hands.They sat there, dumbfounded, as if they’d been struck by lightning.Evan, the poor kid, sent a $1 million red envelope?How did he suddenly become so rich?A million dollars? That’s nearly half a year’s profit for Timothy’s company, and an entire year and a half of revenue for Jeff and Matt’s businesses!"Are you going to keep sending envelopes?" Evan asked, his voice light, as if the $1 million he had just given away was nothing more than pocket change.Well, i

    "Send red envelopes?"Timothy Daniels froze for a moment, then burst into loud, disdainful laughter, his whole body shaking as if he had just heard the funniest joke of 2024. His belly jiggled as he pointed at Evan, laughing so hard he could barely speak."Did you all hear that? He says he wants to send us red envelopes! Hahaha! A notorious pauper like Evan wants to give us—millionaires and billionaires—red envelopes? What a joke!"Jeff, Matt, Bobby, and the rest of the so-called "young entrepreneurs" doubled over with laughter, while Patrick clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he sounded like a squealing pig."He said he’s going to send us red envelopes?""Talk about overestimating himself! This is what they call biting off more than you can chew. Poor Evan, this is the very definition of delusion!"The classmates in the room, including Violet Mills and the other pretty girls, furrowed their brows in disapproval, clearly displeased with Timothy and his friends’ words. Yet, at the

    Unable to get a rise out of him, Matt fell silent. But Timothy, his eyes twinkling with a mischievous glint, smiled slyly and said, "Evan, we all know your situation—and we know you have your pride. It’s understandable that you wouldn’t want to accept help in front of everyone. So how about this? We’ll give you a job at my company.""I know you worked at TikToC before. Well, whatever they paid you, I’ll double it. You’ll never have to worry about money again."His words were dripping with condescension, and the classmates, especially Violet Mills and the other girls, felt a wave of discomfort wash over them. The disdain in Timothy’s offer was all too clear.But Evan didn’t seem to care. Setting down his tea, he glanced indifferently at Timothy and said, "No, really, that won’t be necessary."What?!Timothy and his friends could feel their tempers rising.What the hell is with this guy? Is he completely immune to money?How could anyone not care about money in a world like this?Withou

    The applause that followed was thunderous. Yet Violet Mills and the other outliers remained disconnected, still absorbed in their phones.Timothy’s friends—Jeff, Matt, Bobby, and Patrick—stood up amidst the applause, bowing slightly to the crowd, their eyes subtly scanning the female classmates at the table."Mr. Daniels is too kind," one of them said. "We’re just playing small-time, earning a living. We hope to collaborate with Mr. Daniels in the future to make even more money!"These were the same classmates who had mocked Evan over the phone earlier.As they were about to sit down, someone in the crowd suddenly muttered something that cut through the air like an unexpected gust of wind."We’re here for a class reunion, not to suck up to the rich. If you want to worship the wealthy, why not go after the new billionaire that just emerged in Lumina City?""And by the way, for all your wealth, I haven’t seen you do anything nice for the rest of us classmates. Maybe you should take a pa

    Evan sauntered down the sidewalk, hands clasped behind his back, his pace seemingly leisurely. To an observer, he appeared to be out for a casual stroll, but in reality, each step he took covered dozens of meters in a flash, as if he were teleporting. The passersby barely had time to register his presence before the sound of air slicing filled their ears."My God, was that a person who just passed by? How was he moving so fast?""It was a person! Faster than a plane! And the weird thing is, he looked so relaxed, like he was taking a walk in the park!""…"And so, without breaking a sweat, Evan arrived at Clark Hotel, his breath as steady as if he had never hurried at all.Upon entering the hotel lobby, he walked over to the front desk. "Excuse me, could you tell me where Timothy’s event is being held?"The receptionist didn’t recognize Evan. After all, it was usually people like Adam who dealt with the public affairs, and even when Evan had hosted meals for actors and directors like C
