“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
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
"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
At 10 a.m., near Lumina City University, the 7-Eleven Convenience Store was just beginning its daily bustle."Good day, 7-Eleven," a brusque voice demanded over the phone. "I need two boxes of Durex condoms and a couple of tissue packs. And hurry up, deliver to room 302 at the Hilton Hotels!"Evan Smith shook his head in resignation as he hung up the phone. The audacity of the youth these days—cavorting in broad daylight and not even having the foresight to prepare.Evan promptly gathered the items and set off for the Hilton Hotels, just two streets away. Upon reaching room 302, he knocked and the door swiftly opened to reveal a man adorned in a robe, sporting slippers and gold-rimmed glasses, and a conspicuous set of buck teeth.The man opened the door grumbling, "Damn, half an hour for a pack of condoms. You nearly ruined my big moment, you blasted delivery guy!"Acclimated to all manner of customer complaints from a month of part-time work at the convenience store, Evan replied wi
Evan Smith returned to his cramped rental room, less than ten square meters in size, in a daze.The day’s events seemed surreal, a nightmare where misfortune had solely targeted him. He stared blankly at the ceiling, his eyes void of hope.Alyssa Ramos was a chapter best closed; their relationship had been teetering on the edge of a breakup for a while. Good riddance to such a materialistic woman!Yet, he couldn’t ignore the calls from the 7-Eleven Convenience Store and his landlady. Without a job or money for rent, he faced more than just homelessness; it was also about his living expenses for the next semester.Evan had intended to work over the summer to ease his family’s financial burden. His parents had already borrowed a significant sum to send him to university, and he couldn’t bear to add to their worries.Unfortunately, with the dormitories undergoing renovations during the summer, staying on campus wasn't an option, forcing him to rent this tiny room.A job necessitated a ro
"Hello, Host. The Super Rich System is divided into four parts. The first part is the Task System, where your funds are unlimited but can only be used to complete tasks and cannot be diverted! There will be rewards upon task completion.""The second part is the Daily System, which adds $100 to the Host's discretionary funds every second. As the Host's level increases, the Super Rich System will provide more money per second, such as $200 at level two.""The third part is the Superpower Market, which can only be purchased with Super Rich Coins. The market includes the Invisibility Technique, Iron Man suits, X-ray Vision, and more.""The fourth part is the Fortune Wheel, which can only be played with Super Rich Coins. Every 50 Super Rich Coins allows one spin.""The Host is currently at the lowest rank of 'Tycoon Apprentice.' To reach the second rank of 'Tycoon Employee,' you must spend 10 billion dollars."After the Super Rich System finished its introduction, Evan's mind conjured an i
Evan glanced briefly at the display case and inquired of the saleswoman. Unfamiliar with luxury watches and preferring candor over pretense that might end in embarrassment, he asked outright.Startled but maintaining professional composure, the saleswoman quickly pointed to a timepiece in the center of the display, its platinum gleam catching the light."The pièce de résistance here is the Richard Mille RM63-02 wristwatch.""An automatic winding movement, mechanical by hand...""The strap is genuine crocodile leather..."She fluently recited a long list of detailed specifications.Regrettably for her, these were far from Evan's concerns.He raised his hand to halt her spiel, his lips curling into a faint, dismissive smile. "I am only interested in the price."The saleswoman swallowed hard, daring not to utter another word, and declared the price, "Nine million eight hundred thousand dollars!""$9.8 million?!" Alyssa Ramos and the buck-toothed man behind Evan nearly fainted upon hearin
No sooner had Evan uttered "Charge it!" than the sales associate produced the card reader. However, she harbored a flicker of doubt: The young man was undeniably handsome, yet his attire was nothing more than street market fare. Could he truly afford the $9.8 million?Her skepticism was swiftly shattered by Evan's serene smile and a nod that put her at ease, signaling all was well to proceed with the transaction."Is he actually going ahead with it?""Yes, for $9.8 million, no less. He looks like he can cover it. I've heard that young master Taylor isn't exactly reputable. Maybe he's the one slandering this chap!""A tycoon in disguise, who would have thought? Handsome and wealthy, buying a watch that even Taylor can't afford, and for $9.8 million!"Whispers flitted through the crowd, reaching the ears of Alyssa Ramos and Anthony Taylor, furrowing their brows. Could this be a hidden magnate, nonchalantly affording a $9.8 million tag?Remorse tinged Alyssa's heart. Why hadn't she seen
