“David, I'm here. Are you out of class?” Celia's clear voice came from the phone.This was the first time David had heard Celia's voice after so many years, and she still sounded the same as before. They would only text each other occasionally in the past few years.“Yeah, I am. I'll be out soon.”David said as he walked outside the classroom.As soon as he walked out of the classroom, he saw a beautiful figure holding a phone while standing not far away.She was wearing a pure white dress while her jet-black hair was tied into a ponytail. At this moment, she was standing in the hallway nervously.The boys walking past her would occasionally turn back and look at her.Sure enough, Celia was still as excellent as she was in senior high, and she was still admired even at a top institution like Greenwood University.David hung up the phone and walked toward Celia.When he was more than ten meters away from Celia when Celia spotted him.David smiled and continued to walk in front
When David and Celia met again for the first time since graduation three years ago, they interacted calmly, as if old friends. After greeting each other, they left the place side by side as well.The students gathered around started to discuss among themselves once the duo left.“Holy sh*t! Isn’t that Celia, the prettiest girl in university from our School of English? Who’s that guy she was with? Do you guys know him?”“I think it’s an exchange student from SRU. He’s in our class.”“SRU? But she’s from our school! We can’t just let an outsider take her away!”“I can’t believe we’re just going to let him take advantage like this.”“What do you mean take advantage, huh? The guy’s pretty handsome, isn’t he? He’s kind of cool, or at least, not any less cool than the Fantastic Four. He and Celia seem like a pretty good match,” replied a girl.“So what if he’s handsome or cool? He’s still from another school! She’s our university's prettiest girl, we can’t just let some guy from anoth
That afternoon, both David and Celia went to attend their classes. They still had no idea about the impending havoc, of which they were the protagonists.While they paid attention to class, an article appeared on Greenwood University’s campus forum.“Celia Young, the prettiest girl at Greenwood University, seen on a date with a stranger on campus!”Images of Celia’s head resting on David’s shoulder were attached as well.This stunned the participants of the forum, and the post gathered ten thousands of views and thousands of comments.This post instantly became the hottest post on Greenwood University’s forums, and students began to share it.The post also began to circulate in messaging groups across the classes.Everyone was wondering who this guy was.People started looking for David.In the end, it was thanks to some classmates in David’s new class who saw him leave with Celia that a conclusion over who the mysterious stranger was.Thus, another post appeared on the uni
As David left, a black MPV followed him.It was already ten at night by the time David returned to the hotel. While he did earn more luxury points today, going up to 325 points today, he still thought that it was too slow.He called Pearl and told her to assign a few members to Capital City so that he could simultaneously conduct business in two international metropolises.Pearl did not really understand what David wanted to do, since East League International was already developing at a rather quick pace. They had invested more than 100 billion in around a month and had become a widely sought out partner for investment options.Not to mention that these investments had all passed strict investigations and most of them would promise a huge profit in the future. Still, David seemed rather displeased as he kept urging her to spend more money on investments. This confused her greatly, and she wondered just how much money this young superior of hers had.Not that her confusion wou
“Please wait, Mr. Lidell, let me check.” Lucille immediately ran to the front desk and started asking the others.David brought the team over.“Mr. Lidell, fifteen rooms have already been taken on that floor. I’m not sure if I can ask them all to move, but perhaps you would like the floor above?” Lucille asked carefully.This was a large transaction. She was afraid that David would move to another hotel if he did not like her suggestion. She would be screwed in that case, since David was spending more than five million a night per room. David was a huge customer.“Sure,” David gave it some thought and replied.With that, he directly booked the whole floor for half a month and went upstairs under the ravenous gazes of the pretty servers.After returning to his room, David realized that he had earned another lavish point, arriving at 326 points.Now that his employees were here, he could start spending money freely. Unlike Pearl, he did not investigate before he spent money. He
Around eight hundred meters away from David, in an abandoned building less than twenty stories high, a tall foreigner watched as David ran toward him.This man, Tucker, put away the sniper rifle in his hands back into its case and started muttering angrily to himself.He did not expect to miss his target at all, not when he had never missed a shot before.He had failed!He was the top forty-eighth assassin on the dark web. His combat ability might not be the strongest, but he was definitely top ten among sharpshooters and was good at disguising himself.As far as he was concerned, no man was strong enough to remain unscathed when he shot at them.It did not matter whether the target was a master on the Tiger Rank or the Dragon Rank, they would still die when shot at.As such, he had accepted this mission with extreme arrogance. Many people did not dare to accept missions in Somerland’s Capital City, but he was unafraid.All he had to do was shoot his target and then disguise hi
A huge hole that was more than ten centimeters deep appeared on the concrete wall.One could not imagine how much strength David put into this hit.Tucker immediately felt his spine shatter upon impact.“Pfft!”Another mouthful of blood was spat out.The two broke through the wall and fell onto the floor on the other side.The main difference between them was that Tucker was left lying on the floor gasping for his breath and on the brink of death while David stood steadily on the ground.Tucker wanted to get up but could only move his head, his body unable to exert any strength.Slowly, Tucker had used up all his energy and endless darkness engulfed him.David walked over to Tucker and tried to feel for his pulse.“F*ck… he’s dead!“Jesus, why are you so weak?“I haven’t even asked you who sent you to kill me yet!”Despite this being his first kill, David was rather unfazed by it. He knew that if he did not kill, he himself would end up being killed.Taking a look at this
David left, leaving Lucas and the others to deal with the aftermath since they were more experienced with things like this.Lucas told David that those female team members were from Team Spider, the team in charge of Falcon’s intelligence network. He also told David to just contact them if there was any additional information he needed and that these women would inform David if they found any new leads. With that, they exchanged contacts.David indeed saw the spider motif on their arms.His uniform should have the vulture motif as well, but he had never worn it since receiving the uniform.Once he got back to Starry Night Hotel, David felt rather an urgent need to grow stronger. What happened today was extremely dangerous, and had his mind power been any weaker, he might not have sensed danger in time and lost his life.Even if he did not die, a sniper rifle of such a powerful caliber would surely cripple him.It was terrifying.He had to raise his lavish points to one thousand
