Chapter 29

Aвтор: Bronze Drum Sage
Since Roxy was insisting, Shirley filled her in.

"Oh, alright. This information came from a reliable source, okay? Since his first year of college, Elliott has been pursuing a student named Anne Cohen, but even after over three years, he still hasn't succeeded.

"Also, to earn money to spend on Anne, he often works part-time as a deliveryman. Who would've thought he had 20 million dollars to use on streaming gifts for you?"

Roxy's jaw dropped. "What? He's got such an embarrassing past?"

"I know, right? I do pity him. Even after three years, he couldn't get Anne to agree to date him!" Shirley remarked.

"Is she pretty?" Roxy asked.

Shirley replied, "She's alright. She's nowhere near as gorgeous as you."

After pausing in thought, Roxy commented with a laugh, "He's rather devoted."

"Huh?"

"Think about it," Roxy said. "Elliott spent over three years trying to win the heart of someone who isn't all that pretty. Doesn't that prove he's devoted when it comes to love?"

    "Quick! Take a look at this, Roxy!" Shirley exclaimed in excitement as she passed Roxy her phone.It was a video on TikTalk—an edit of Roxy's stream last night that had already received over a million likes and reshares."Check it out, Roxy! TikTalk's official account is promoting your live stream video, too. Hurry up and see how many followers you have now!"All of Roxy's roommates crowded around her.Roxy opened her TikTalk account, only to be stunned by what she saw. In just a single night, her follower count had ballooned up to a million people!"I can't believe this! This is all thanks to Elliott," Roxy exclaimed.She only had a little over 100 followers before this, but she now had over a million. This was all thanks to Elliott's frenzied gift-giving.But when Roxy checked her WhatsApp chat with him, she was taken aback to find that he hadn't responded yet."Good morning. Are you up?" she texted.Pouting, she murmured to herself, "What on earth is he thinking? Why isn't h

    "What are you doing here, Anne? Didn't you say you were out shopping with a friend?"When the door to Room 702 at Iris Hotel opened, Elliott Langley was struck dumb.Elliott, a college student, was working part-time as a deliveryman to buy a birthday gift for his girlfriend, Anne Cohen. But right now, Anne, the woman of his dreams, was standing before him in a sexy outfit. She had just opened the hotel room door to receive the order he was delivering—a box of Viagra."Elliott? Why are you here?"Anne, who had just accepted the delivery, was also startled but soon regained her composure. "Oh, well. Since you ran into me, I won't hide it from you anymore. Let's break up. Ivan and I are together now.""Ivan? Ivan Grady?""That's right.""Haven't you only known him for a couple of days?" Elliott questioned."So what if it's only been a couple of days? It's love at first sight!""What… the fuck? Have you no shame?" Elliott fumed.He spent three years wooing Anne before she finally

    The beautiful young woman continued to squeal in pain, "That hurts! Take your foot off!"Snapping out of his reverie, Elliott quickly retracted his foot, saying, "Sorry about that. I didn't notice you."Huffing, she retorted in an aggrieved tone, "Do you think that excuse is good enough? I just bought these shoes yesterday! They're all dirty now thanks to you!"Elliott took a closer look at the young lady before him. She was fair, willowy, and had exquisite features. Her long hair draped on top of her simple white dress, giving her a rather angelic air.She glared at him with her large, bright eyes. Something about her miffed expression would make all who saw her feel a twang of sympathy.Elliott recognized her. She was Selena Witt, the prettiest young woman in Mountshire University's School of Communication. She was gorgeous, alright—far prettier than Anne.While Anne could be considered the most attractive young woman in her class, Selena's beauty was second to only that of Moun

    Selena was stumped to see Anne blowing up at Elliott. What was happening?"I'm a lowlife? How so?" Elliott asked."Are you the one who called the police?" Anne questioned."I did. So what?""Why, you!" Anne fumed.Sure enough, it was Elliott's doing.Even Ivan started berating Elliott, "That's such a despicable thing to do, Elliott!""What's going on?" Selena asked.Chuckling, Elliott explained, "These two wanted to do the deed in the hotel. Out of the goodness of my heart, I called the police to report a possible case of prostitution to them. They're now blaming me because the police chased them out.""Huh?" Selena gaped.Elliott sure knew how to cause a scene!"Do you guys know each other?" Selena inquired curiously.She sensed that there seemed to be some kind of bad blood between Elliott and the two."Certainly," Elliott replied. "Anne here is my ex-girlfriend, but we only dated for a month. I barely even got to hold her hand.""What?" Selena exclaimed.After seeing h

    Selena had never been in a relationship before. It was the first time a guy held her by the waist, and her body was rather sensitive. She felt as if she had been electrocuted. Although she wanted to avoid Elliott's touch, her instincts told her she had to make the most of this opportunity.Where else could she find a rich young heir with 200 million dollars to throw around?Thus, even though her body trembled, she allowed Elliott to hold her without squirming away. With her holding his arm and him holding her waist, the two looked like a lovey-dovey couple who were caught up in their own world.Ivan and Anne, who were about a dozen feet away, stared so hard that their eyes nearly popped out.Cursing inwardly, Ivan couldn't believe that Elliott had an arm around Selena's waist. Words couldn't describe how stormy his expression was.How was this possible?Ivan had to ask himself that question in silence. He couldn't accept this reality—that Elliott, the guy he looked down on, could

    Thinking she heard Elliott incorrectly, Summer asked, "Sir, are you sure you want them all? We can't get ahold of the stock abroad, but we can bring over the ones within the country. However, there are only 50 pairs in all of Cavaria.""50 pairs?" Elliott repeated with a frown. "Fine, that works. I'll take them all."Ivan scoffed and asked, "Why are you trying to talk big when you don't have any money, Elliott? Do you know how much money 50 pairs cost?"Chuckling derisively, Anne chimed in, "Precisely! 50 pairs, huh? Hurry up and run the figures for him. Let's see how much it costs. It'll be more than what he can possibly earn after making a decade's worth of deliveries!"Summer brought out a calculator and quickly summed it up. "Sir, we can give you an additional discount for 50 pairs, so it comes out to 8,000 dollars a pair. That'll be a total of 400,000 dollars for 50 pairs.""Why bother with the additional discount? Are you looking down on me? Just charge me the original price

    Elliott had hit the nail on the head. Ivan's and Anne's expressions darkened even further, but they spoke up in an attempt to maintain their dignity anyway."Save your concern. We're perfectly capable of shopping on our own," Ivan retorted."That's right," Anne chimed in. "Why do you care what we buy?"Just then, Elliott got a notification from the system."Conquest Mission Activated!""Conquest Target: Anne Cohen""Age: 22""Height: 5 feet 6 inches""Weight: 108 pounds""Beauty Rating: 83""Host Affection Level: 0""When the selected Conquest Target's Host Affection Level exceeds 95 points, the conquest is deemed successful, and the target will become the Host's Soulmate.""Upon completion of the conquest, the Host will be rewarded with 50% of the amount spent on the conquest in the form of personal monetary wealth as well as the conquest's innate talents and skills.""Acquirable Enhancement Points: 30 (Points can be used to enhance the Host's physical attributes, including phys

    Ignoring Ivan, Elliott looked right at Anne and said, "You're an adult, Anne. Don't you have your own opinion? Are you going to leave just because he tells you to? We used to date. Even though we've broken up now, we're still friends. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to buy you some gifts?"Anne was already eager to accept the items, but she couldn't think of an appropriate reason to do so. Now that Elliott had put things that way, she immediately broke free from Ivan and said, "You're right, Elliott. "Ivan, Elliott is my friend, so there's nothing wrong with him giving me these things."Ivan's expression was the stormiest it had ever been. Never would he have expected Anne to be so easily swayed by Elliott. Despite what Elliott claimed, Ivan firmly believed that he was being cheated on if his own girlfriend accepted gifts from another guy.No one would be able to put up with something like that!"Anne, are you sure you want to do this?" Ivan questioned in a deep, threatening tone

    "Who knows what the wealthy think?" Roxy said as she got into bed.She was also curious to know what WinkingWolf was up to. She clicked on his profile to check his information, only to be stunned by what she saw. According to his profile, she already had his number in her contacts list!"Is he… really someone I know?"Roxy was dumbfounded. But after giving it some more thought, she couldn't think of anyone she knew who could be that rich. Just who was it?She continued to check the profile, even comparing the profile pictures on TikTalk and WhatsApp. It looked a little familiar, but not much. Nevertheless, she was certain it was someone she knew.As she couldn't figure out who it was, she tried to search for WinkingWolf's number on WhatsApp itself. Immediately, the chat history popped up."Whoa! How could it be him?"At last, she realized it was Elliott!"Just this morning, he called me the sugar to his coffee and said he wanted me to sweeten up his life. Who would've thought he

    Roxy's heart felt like it would explode. Her voice trembled with emotion as she cried out, "Thank you for all the love you've shown me, Mr. Wolf! I'm truly grateful!"Alas, no matter what the viewers or Roxy said, Elliott didn't respond. He was exhausted. It even hurt to tap on his screen, so he set his phone aside and went to sleep.Roxy kept streaming for another 15 minutes or so until it was 11:00 pm before she finally ended her live stream. Her roommates had long since gone into a tizzy."Oh, my goodness, Roxy! Who's the rich guy?""He's not just rich. He's filthy rich! You have to hang on tightly to him, Roxy.""That's right. How did you find him, Roxy?"All three of her roommates were curious to know.Looking rather clueless, Roxy replied, "I… don't know him!""That's impossible. Why would he give you all those gifts if you don't know him?""I'm sure it's someone you know. Everyone loves money. Why would a total stranger be willing to spend 20 million dollars on you?""B

    At the moment, LittleRoxy was shooting up the real-time streamer rankings on TikTalk, and Elliott was still giving her more gifts."WinkingWolf has given a total of 1,000 Carnivals."In next to no time, Elliott had sent his 1,000th Carnival to Roxy, and the viewers went from shocked to incredulous.A thousand Carnivals were the equivalent of three million dollars. He'd given her three million dollars just like that!"Goodness gracious! Mr. Wolf's got deep pockets, alright. He's sent out 1,000 Carnivals!""That's amazing. It's only his first time, but he's broken the record on TikTalk for the most ever given by one person in a single sitting!""Look! LittleRoxy has over 100,000 viewers now!""Oh, my! She's broken into the top ten of the rankings, too.""Mr. Wolf means business. Looks like he really is going to send her to the top."By now, the popularity of Roxy's stream far exceeded that of the major streamers who had originally ranked at the top. Not only was she the center of

    Carnival was the most expensive gift that could be given on TikTalk. It cost 30,000 Tiktalk credits, which was the equivalent of 3,000 dollars.Naturally, the most expensive gift came with the most explosive effects. Apart from the graphics that burst onto the screen, an attention-grabbing notification popped up to inform the viewers that someone had given the streamer a Carnival. It would also show who the giver was and how many gifts had been given."WinkingWolf has given a Carnival."The viewers were stunned, and the comments started flooding in, but they were hidden by the special effects from the Carnival."Goodness me! Is this real? What did I just see?""That's a Carnival! It's my first time seeing a Carnival in a live stream with so few viewers!""Are you serious, Wolf? That's so generous of you!""What the heck? That's incredible. Does Wolf here seriously want to boost this streamer to the top?"Roxy was just as taken aback. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She qu

    "Exactly. How is it impolite? What's the big deal about giving us her number? It's perfectly normal to exchange contact information.""Hurry up. We'll accept it if she doesn't text back, and we won't save her number, either. But you're no friend of ours if you won't even give us her number."Elliott could tell that many people were eager to get Roxy's number. He figured it wouldn't be a problem to give them Roxy's number, so long as they promised not to spread it around."Fine. I'll give it to you guys."Elliott rattled out her number, much to Thomas, Connor, and Justin's excitement. They finally got Roxy's contact!Alas, less than ten minutes later, they all looked depressed. Judging from their reactions, Elliott knew Roxy must've ignored them, but he didn't tease them about it.Tired from the day's events, he washed up and jumped in bed. While he was scrolling through the videos on TikTalk, his eyes abruptly lit up when he spotted a familiar face—Roxy!Roxy was currently doing

    The artfully designed menu was fairly short with not many offerings, but every single item was exorbitantly priced.The steak cost over 1,000 dollars. Other delicacies like foie gras, escargot, and even a simple mushroom were all over 500 dollars. Even the cheapest item on the menu cost more than 100 dollars.Joanna assumed a meal here would cost about 300 dollars, but from the looks of it now, this restaurant was far more premium than she thought. A meal here would cost at least 3,000 dollars.The world of the rich was indeed something that the poor couldn't even imagine.Joanna grimaced at Elliott. She dared not order anything."Go on, Joanna. Order anything you want," Elliott said.The waiter, who was observing the two, noticed that they looked like college students. Thus, he started mocking them inwardly.He thought it was obvious Elliott had noticed the prices and realized they couldn't afford to eat here, but he was too proud to admit that. He was pretending to be generous

    Joanna knew this was a rare chance. If she missed this opportunity, she might never get to remove her birthmark.Apart from having the chance to admire Joanna's body and engage in more physical contact, there was another reason why Elliott said he wanted to give her a massage treatment—he wanted to use more of the Conquest Fund.Obviously, the massage couldn't be done at either of their dorm rooms. They would need to go to a hotel and get a room there. This was a perfectly reasonable way for him to use the Conquest Fund.Only by doing so could he get even more once his mission involving Joanna was a success.Elliott checked the time and saw that it was almost 6:00 pm."Shall we have dinner, Joanna?" he asked."Sure. Whatever you say, Elliott!""What would you like to have? It's on me.""I should be the one treating you to dinner, Elliott," Joanna said. "You've been such a great help to me, and you even paid for the consultation fees today. How could I possibly use any more of yo
