"Yes! Moving into entertainment media. Well, Avengers 3 invested $1 billion right? We'll do ten times more, $10 billion!" Evan nodded casually.

Hearing this, Adam was instantly confused. Mr. Smith really had an abnormal mindset. Just days ago he had spent so much in the livestreaming industry, and now less than five days later, he decided to pour $10 billion into entertainment?

Just how much money did he have?!

"Right, I'll write a script in five days, then we start shooting. As TikToc's first film, I hope you can find some international mega stars to act. Once the movie succeeds, our fame will shoot beyond Elysia directly into the global film industry!"

"...Five days? And Mr. Smith is writing the script himself?"

"Yup, any issues with that?" Evan asked.

"..."

Adam continued, "Are those international stars auditioning for the male and female leads?"

"Nope! They're all supporting roles, might even play villains!" Evan suddenly felt Adam was asking too many questions.

"..."

Adam: "Then

    After reporting to Mr. Smith, Adam heaved yet another deep sigh and embarked on another round of phone calls.Of course, this time it was to domestic A-list actors and actresses. Though the stars were different, the result was the same - he called them all, but no one agreed.These top actors and actresses naturally knew of TikToc and their shocking investments in recent days. But when they heard a livestream company wanted them to star in, direct and act in their own movie, they all laughed inwardly.You're just bored with too much money to burn, messing around?You can play with your money, but I won't gamble my reputation to act in your crappy vanity project!Left with no choice, Adam could only compromise and pick a second-tier actor below the very top - Scarlett. And even then, it was only after Adam promised to double her salary that she agreed to take the role!With the lead actress down, he still had to pick some supporting roles and villains. Adam made nearly a hundred more c

    Back in his office, Adam eagerly opened Evan's script, and despite mentally bracing himself, still nearly suffocated from the shock!A masterpiece! It had to be a masterpiece! Such a story, such plot twists, such an ending, it was leagues beyond human capabilities for decades!Unthinkable, just unthinkable that 18-year-old Mr. Smith could create such a perfect work!

He hurriedly called Scarlett, Logan and Lucy:"You must come to the company in three days for the ritual ceremony before filming starts. I've read the script, I guarantee even if you're not the leads this time, you'll still become hugely popular. So treasure this opportunit

    After conveying her greatest respect to Adam's team, the hosts also arrived excitedly for the ceremony—they had read the script too!These were naturally Tiktoc and YouClub's currently most popular hosts—Michelle, Paige, Violet!After the hosts gathered, Scarlett, Logan and Lucy finally sauntered in arrogantly. As soon as they entered, they acted like divas, finding faults here and there, ordering Tiktoc staff to serve them tea and breakfast, even run errands!This disgusted Tiktoc staff, the hosts and Ava. These people clearly hadn't read the script. Otherwise, how could they still act so haughtily? They should have a devout attitude, grateful to Tiktoc for such an amazing script!Not reading the script yet daring to attend the ritual ceremony?Still acting so arrogant?Thinking they were already Oscar Royalty? How revolting!Just as Tiktoc staff and hosts were sickened by Scarlett, Logan and Lucy's behavior, an unexpected incident occurred—Evan didn't show up!The reason was simple—

    Evan looked left and right, confirming only Ava was with him. So he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you talking to me?""Who else could I be talking to, a ghost? Is anyone else here except that woman who slept her way up?"Scarlett looked at Evan arrogantly and contemptuously."Hurry up and get someone useful here. I have to fly back to Hengdian Studios this afternoon to shoot another film. Hmph, your simple crew putting on airs. I'm a Queen-level star, Logan and Lucy are A-listers. Without us, your film's box office will be zero!""Hmph hmph!" Evan just hmph-ed in response!Evan was nonchalant, just hmph-ing. But Ava wouldn't stand for Scarlett speaking to Evan and herself like that!She had endured Scarlett's bullying on the plane, but now bullying her crush was too much, even for gentle Ava. So she retorted:"I don't think the crew is being arrogant, you are! From boarding, you've been fault-finding and complaining. If you don't want the role you don't have to take it, do you car

    "Right, you asshole, how does tattling benefit you? Can you replace us as the lead?" Logan echoed for Scarlett. Having a lackey inform on them to displease the producers was disgraceful in showbiz!"Hmph, only an asshole like you would snitch. We can complain about you too! At most our pay is docked for your tattling. But we can get you fired!" Lucy whipped out her phone, pretending to call Adam."What are you doing? Did Evan do anything wrong? You're the bullies!"Ava squeezed over to grab Lucy's phone. She knew from Evan's sister Bella about their family's situation. She had thought Evan's job was hard-earned, and if he lost it from these three, how would he pay tuition and living expenses for school?"Silly girl, don't worry!"Evan gently held Ava's hand, stepping forward to shield her and meeting Scarlett's gaze. Grinning, he said, "Yes, I informed on you. You're clearly unsuitable for my crew. I don't want to give you this chance for global stardom either!""Bastard, who's giving

    Ang Lee was a renowned director, and his words carried a lot of weight, naturally dispelling much of Ava's doubts. But Ava still had suspicions, and she continued to ask with her pretty face raised, "You're not Jesse Smith? Then why did this movie call you?""Actually, how could I not wish I were the investor Jesse Smith? $20 billion, I could just lie at home every day and wait for death. Why bother working so hard to earn tuition!" Evan's lips curled up slightly, and he grinned mischievously, "But the question you just asked was a good one! I'll tell you the real reason now!"With that, he placed his phone in Ava's palm and opened his Twitter. "Look, the video of me street dancing at your film academy last time went viral in the Moments, and I don't know why Tiktoc actually found me based on this video where my face can't be seen clearly! So here I am!""And the reason I changed my name to Jesse Smith is that the male lead in this script is a masked man, and the audience won't see my

    Night.The filming of 'Age of Immortal Heroes' was still going strong. Despite the late hour, everyone's enthusiasm hadn't waned one bit. On the contrary, they were working even harder - the script was excellent, the director was brilliant, and even the 18-year-old Evan was acting better than them. What reason did they have not to give it their all?They were all striving for their futures!When the day's filming was finally completed, it was already 3am the next day!Evan signaled to Ang Lee, who immediately announced loudly on set: "Thank you everyone for your cooperation. Today we filmed five scenes - scene 1, scene 7, scene 13, scene 22, and scene 31. Everyone performed very well, but please remember we still have to come back at 9am tomorrow. And tomorrow our task will be even more arduous - 12 scenes! Alright everyone, go get some rest!"After everyone had left, Evan packed up his things and prepared to head back to the hotel."Evan!" Ava chased after Evan."Hmm?" Evan turned ar

    Evan reacted extremely quickly - he opened his arms wide and swept Ava, who was still lying on the ground, up in an embrace. He was just about to stride out of the studio.Suddenly, the situation took a turn!The enormous camera on the left side of the studio swayed precariously, then abruptly tilted over and collapsed. Evan instinctively turned his back, shielding Ava beneath him, as the heavy rolling camera slammed into his back. In an instant the two of them were pinned under the machine!Evan endured the sharp pain in his back and arched slightly, trying with all his might to push the machine off his back, but it didn't budge an inch."Evan, are you okay? Did you get hurt?" Ava's orchid-like breath blew by his ear, tickling his heart. At this critical moment, instead of worrying about herself first, her concern was for Evan!Evan's expression was awkward. He muffled out an "Mm", indicating he was fine.It wasn't his fault he looked awkward - because at that moment, he and Ava were

    "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
