"The welcome party is still over ten days away, isn't it? This isn't a rehearsal - it's an ambush! Why didn't you give me advance notice?" Ava glanced at the nearly hundred students and performers below, anger glinting in her bright eyes."Showing up in such numbers to watch a rehearsal? If you insist on making this a live performance, forget it - I won't rehearse today. I still need to practice more with Evan.""Oh, more practice? Let me expose you - word is spreading that your partner Evan is a total amateur! Saying you need to practice is just a cover so he doesn't embarrass himself in front of us, right? Ha, refusing to rehearse? We're students at Elysia Film and TV University - we don't need practice like some outsider!" "Ava, I'm telling you clearly - participation in today's rehearsal is mandatory per school rules! This is what you get for passing up all the trained dance students to pick an amateur! You brought this on yourself!""Fine, don't rehearse - just make my brother
"Uh..." Evan broke into a cold sweat."Hey you two, this is school - mind your behavior! Save the flirting for at home!" Juliette scoffed disdainfully. "Now that he's here, let's see what this outsider can really do! Go get changed - you're up next!""No costume change! We can't perform!" Ava's finely arched brows drew together as she gritted her teeth. "I thought this was just a personal rehearsal. Evan and I haven't practiced together or chosen a routine yet. How can we perform? You're clearly trying to embarrass him - don't you think that's too much?"She looked up pleadingly at Evan. "Let's go, Evan. No show today - this is all my fault for dragging you into this mess. I'm truly sorry. We should leave now - we can't let these schemers succeed!""You dare try to leave? I'll give you a demerit if you walk out, Ava!" Isaiah bellowed, his neck flushed red. Gabriel chimed in, "That's right - you must perform today no matter what!""Tsk, it's just a dance, why make things difficult for
As the atmosphere built towards wave after wave of climax, the entire audience was on their feet, clapping along to the beat as they witnessed this once-in-a-century street dance performance. When the accompaniment paused, Evan dramatically flung his gentleman's hat into the crowd.The spectators instantly erupted into madness, with dozens of female students rushing towards where the hat had flown.In that moment, there was no more "rehearsal" - only Evan the lone Dance King on stage, with hundreds of worshipping followers below."Mr. Long, Mr. Long! You left the livestream on!" Jonathan, crouched in the corner with Kevin Long, was still stunned as he awkwardly reminded, "Any plan C? Plan B doesn't seem to have worked."Kevin Long's face was also twisted in ugly dismay. He stared at Evan on stage in sheer horror, as if at a demon. "How is this possible? I checked - Bella's brother can't dance at all! How is he this good?!""Yeah, I can't believe it either. But he's done and he dance
Evan got more frustrated by the second, but the System remained silent as the grave."Fine, be that way!" The System's lack of response felt like punching cotton - no impact at all. Oh well, might as well focus on the current task!Evan quickened his pace towards the Mall when his landlady Makayla Simpson suddenly called:"Evan, you ran off, didn't you? I waited all night! When will you pay the owed rent? If not by today, I'm tossing out your stuff and raising the rent to $3000 a month!""Hah! You wouldn't dare!" Evan scoffed. "If you discard my things, I'll make you regret living! I'm at the Automobile Mall now - come get your rent if you want, but I'm not delivering it. I don't plan on staying in your dump any longer!"Truthfully, all Evan had left in the rental was some old clothing, cheap but bought with his parents' hard-earned money. He absolutely refused to let that go."Automobile Mall?" Makayla paused, then jeered, "So you got a job there? Pretty diligent finding new work -
Makayla Simpson's face darkened as she glanced around at the gossiping crowd in the dealership. Anger flared up in her like a raging fire. I'm buying that $1.2 million Audi Q7, which is already stretching my finances to the limit. How dare he boast about buying a car even more expensive than mine! Her eyes instantly turned fierce and malicious, and her voice took on an angry tone: "Hmph! Let me make this clear - if you can really afford a car higher than mine by a whole tier, I'll change my surname to match yours, Smith! If you can't, you better call me Granny!""I don't have a daughter like you!" Evan waved dismissively and turned away.His words left Makayla sputtering with rage. Just as she was about to spit back a retort, she heard him say to the dealer, "Stop standing around. Go get the card machine. I'm paying cash for the car. Hurry up! And make sure it's a tier above the Q7!"Another commotion erupted in the dealership! "He's really buying it? $1.3 million, and in cash too!"
Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Evan was already used to it. Ever since getting the Super Rich System, the most common reactions he saw were bewilderment, disbelief, and shock. He couldn't help sighing before repeating, "Can I drive away immediately after buying a car here?""Sir, any in-stock vehicles here can be driven away immediately, but you'd have to pay in full," the two saleswomen finally recovered and answered honestly the second time. "Okay," Evan nodded. "Then calculate the total value of all the cars in the showroom. I'm buying them all!""Um..." The two saleswomen were instantly shocked speechless, their faces draining of color. Buy them all? He wants to buy every car in the showroom? That's over $200 million! Could he afford it? In the shop's nearly 20 years of business, no customer had dared say they would buy the whole inventory!"Sir, are you joking with us?" After a long moment, the saleswomen finally closed their gaping mouths and hurriedly asked, "Sir, every
The group's taunting put Evan in an even fouler mood, especially Jacob plotting for his sister. His expression was calm, but a storm raged within! Austin glowered ferociously at Evan. "Evan, if I lose this $3 million deal today because of you, I'm taking it out on you! Even if you have to sell your house, blood, or sister, you'll pay me back that $3 million!""Second warning," Evan said coldly. Remember, you're from my hometown, so I'm giving you three chances. That was the second time you've challenged my authority!"What second warning?" Austin Brown was completely oblivious to the ominous implication behind Evan's cold gaze. He didn't restrain his anger, instead ramping it up further: "I was negotiating a deal with Manager Cooper just now when you came over here boasting. What are you, a poor loser, blabbering about buying the whole luxury car showroom? Hmph, who gave you the gall to boast like that? Your parents who wash dishes at my family's company?"Just as Evan was about to
As soon as she entered, she started screaming like a madwoman: "He's a fraud! He conspired with that Audi dealership manager to trick us on purpose!"Huh? What was happening now? Another rabid bitch showed up? Austin Brown and the others were more and more confused by the situation!Just as Austin Brown and the other rich kids were still trying to figure out what was happening along with Manager Cooper, Evan spoke up. He turned to Manager Cooper with a faint smile and said, "Stop standing there confused. Go tally up how much all the cars in your dealership are worth, and bring a credit card terminal over. I'm buying them all!""You're really buying them all?!" Manager Cooper blurted out instinctively. Then he quickly regained his senses and added, "I estimated our inventory here to be worth at least $200 million minimum. Are you sure?!""I'm sure," Evan nodded. "Including that red Ferrari F70 at full listed price. No discounts.""Here we go! The big money show is about to start!" At
"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
