Whether or not Marcus and Liam Wells sold their shares, Evan didn't care. If they sold, he would acquire them and merge YouClub into Tiktok, creating Elysia's largest live streaming platform. The Wells, lacking shares, would get no dividends.If they refused, Evan would let YouClub go bankrupt. The Wells would still get nothing, just with extra steps of restructuring. YouClub would remain Evan's while the Wells reaped no benefits.The outcome was the same either way. This was no contest of equals but a heavyweight boxer versus an infant - a complete mismatch!With the second task mostly accomplished, Evan moved on to the third group. Their actions came last by design. Evan wanted staggered timing to maximize resources. More importantly, he wanted these celebrity headliners generating excitement over weeks or months, sustaining Tiktok's newfound popularity.Yet Tiktok exceeded Evan's expectations!The sensational events, amplified overnight by the internet, had already catalyzed into
This boy claimed to be Mr. Smith??Their benefactor in shorts and sandals?Absolutely unbelievable! They gaped, completely astonished.Seasoned businessmen, their sharp instincts had failed, not recognizing this youth as Mr. Smith. They mistook him for a delivery boy or fan."You...you are Mr. Smith?" Adam ventured carefully on everyone's behalf."Yup, I'm Evan Smith - the one who invested $20 billion in Tiktok and had you develop those three plans," the teen grinned.Thunderclaps erupted in their minds."Mr. Smith's so young?""He's twenty at most! Such wealth and cunning at twenty?""With half his money and brilliance, I could be the richest tycoon in Lumina City, surrounded by beauties!"Adam reacted swiftly despite their dazed muttering. "Mr. Smith! Apologies for not recognizing you earlier. You are far beyond our expectations, incredibly young!"The others quickly followed his lead, bowing deeply. "Welcome Mr. Smith! Please forgive our poor reception!""No worries," Evan laughed.
They nearly crumpled to the floor as his words struck them like a physical blow.Mr. Smith bought YouClub shares? Took over that vicious shark?When had this happened? Wasn't yesterday's market turmoil caused by a mystery buyer?It was Mr. Smith's scheme all along?Unbelievable! He's an absolute savior!Just yesterday Tiktok's future seemed bleak. Now they led two top platforms!A rollercoaster ride! Thrilling yet terrifying!"You're YouClub's chairman now, Mr. Smith?" Adam ventured anxiously."Correct. I don't discuss uncertain matters. Now that it's settled, I tell you. Take over YouClub starting today." Evan said matter-of-factly."Mr. Smith, you're rich!""So handsome!""..."Tears of gratitude flowed as everyone profusely thanked Evan. Everyone except Sean, who turned red struggling to squeeze out: "Mr. Smith, badass!" Adam, Devin, Landon, Matthew and the others just gaped.Evan was rather speechless."Please, just manage the companies diligently. I won't be too involved in deci
Seeing the livestream room still had a black screen, the viewers waiting for the stream began chatting with bullet screens."Is everyone here to answer questions or see celebrities? I heard many celebrities will show up and reveal their faces today!""Ha, I'm here to both answer questions and see celebrities. I didn't expect Tiktoc to sign on so many celebrities as contestants. Taylor Swift, Emma, Jennifer, they're all female stars I like!""I'm also here for both the celebs and questions. I'm still working overtime at my company today, but I specifically snuck away to participate in this event. The celebrity involvement is so attractive!""...""I'm ready! We can start now!" Emma Stone put down the question cards in the livestream room and said to the busy technical staff outside through her headset."Ok, starting stream in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Go!""Pop", the livestream room suddenly opened."Hi everyone, I'm your Emma and the contestant drawing questions for today's second Billionaire Ch
"Whoosh!" The apartment's curtains were drawn shut, and the intense gaming ceased. Every computer screen lit up with the familiar interfaces of hacking software, and rows of green digital code began to leap across the screens.At that very moment, in a posh villa within the third ring of Elysia Metropolis City, Liam Wells of YouClub was groveling before a tall young man."Mr. Perez, I truly need your help this time. I acted on your advice, and overnight YouClub changed hands!""Mr. Perez," Liam continued, "as far as I know, that upstart is named Jesse Smith. Just a nouveau riche. But your family's influence is vast and deeply rooted in Metropolis City. Dealing with him should be as easy as lifting a finger for you.""That country bumpkin can't compare to a noble like Mr. Perez. Help me reclaim YouClub, and you can name your terms. I swear I'll agree to anything!"The tall youth opened his arrogant eyes slowly, rising from the sofa and looking down upon Liam Wells with disdain, "Anythi
"By now the cameras are off and this will self-destruct. Oh, did I hear something shatter? Your hopes to leak this?""Let me remind you - not even your powerful father can save you. Public rage exceeds his reach! Learn your lesson. And a government ban should be hitting your company soon - have the receptionist on standby.""Lastly, do you hate me? Good! I love seeing your fangs ripped out, especially your impotent rage!""Bye for now! I'll send prison food!"The audio vanished."Fuck!" George's eyes seethed with hatred, his face demonic.The starlet collapsed limply, mumbling incoherently in trauma.George's phone rang again. His facade instantly crumbled and he wailed, "Dad, save me!"Like any spoiled child, his plea echoed those who commit crimes.A heavy sigh came through. "Son, I pulled strings to get you a flight in thirty minutes. Leave the country for now.""How can you save me, Dad? The whole world wants me dead! Just going out, people threw eggs and cursed me for spawning a
Perhaps truly unable to stand Evan's laziness any longer, after about ten minutes of silence, the system suddenly assigned a task with a rather high difficulty rating:"Ding! Host now has housing, vehicles, and a successful career. You've entered the ranks of life's winners. To avoid idleness, your eighth task is: In one month, do something that impacts 1 billion people. Success will award 300 Super Rich Coins, failure results in loss of male virility! The countdown for this task starts now!"For the first time, the normally emotionless voice of the system took on a tone - naked contempt! It really looked down on Evan's laziness!Whatever! What's so bad about being lazy? Really! Evan shrugged with an unconcerned smile. "Do something that impacts 1 billion people? Hehe, did you forget, system? Money is unlimited during task attempts. I'll just go to my livestreaming company now and send out a message selecting 1 billion people, giving each one $100 million. That would also be a shocki
"Why did it melt in and leave a tattoo? Oh no, I'm a good boy. Tattoos could affect my image!"His true thoughts were: Wow, this tattoo is so cool. Ha, how did the system know I've always wanted one like this!Wait a minute!Something feels off!Evan closed his eyes and racked his brains searching for directing knowledge, but came up empty. His mind was blank, nothing there!"Lying fraud of a system! Give me back my 300 Coins!" Evan wailed in anguish."It shouldn't be like this! The stuff from the Superpower Market shouldn't scam people!"After scolding Super Rich System for a long time and seeing it turtle up silently like a dead tortoise, Evan looked at the fiery tattoo on his right wrist and pondered."No knowledge in my brain. Could it be that those directing skills will only appear when I actually start shooting?"With this thought, he instantly had an idea. Grabbing his phone, he sprang up from the couch and headed straight for the backyard. He would use his phone to film the sc
