Rather, it is shameful. He's not only known now as one of the rich men in this live streaming world, but a loser who dares to challenge someone who is above him and ran from his fight.

Chapter 28.2: Mistress Apothecary Dragon Clarinet was having fun with Nanfeng and others in her live room, and seeing this first hand, there was a mix of jealousy and bitterness in the heart of Mistress Apothecar. She looked at the host with spite.She could see herself in Dragon Clarinet. She was also having problems on her life to the point when she wanted to give into it. It was hard to overcome problems especially when you're poor, time came when she needed urgent money to feed herself and her family. That's when she decided to try hosting in Diamond Hub. With the help of other people, she was able to get something from this career. Her life was improving until he met Raiden. While he brought darkness to her life, Taylor was the sunshine that gave hope to her.The troublesome PK ended, yet she wasn't able to even thank him for his help. Basta-basta na lamang umalis ang lalaki na para bang mag-donate lang ang pakay kaya napunta sa live room niya. To Taylor, it might be nothing, ju
Chapter 29: Taylor ReedMia logged off the Diamond Hub after some chatting with the viewers and her sponsors. The first thing she did was to check her earnings. Calculating the part that'll be automatically deducted as a payment to the platform, her income is still more than pretty decent. Never im her entire life did she imagine to have this money in just a day, and it's mostly just because of one person.Remembering she hasn't followed Taylor Reed yet, she considered of it momentarily before finally tapping the follow button that was catching her eyes among all buttons. Her fingers quickly typed a message for him.Dragon Clarinet: Mr. Taylor, may I have your bank account?She was unable to receive a fast reply. Currently, Devin was in the bathroom. He finally had the time to relax from all happenings today.Earlier, he was having a difficult time dealing with a client. They were focused on haggling for a money that will gain a little profit compared to others. Nang matapos ito ay i
Chapter 29.2: Taylor ReedMia felt hot. Namumula ang kanyang pisngi at para na naman siyang lalagnatin. Hindi niya alam kung inaasar ba siya nito o ano, pero dahil sa malaking ambag sa kanya ng lalaki, pumayag na lamang siya.Using the voice chat feature, she recorded a voice message for him. The first seconds were silent, only the sound of the air circulating inside her apartment. Mia gulped; she called him "Kuya Nanfeng" in the record. Nang maipadala ito sa kanya ay agad niyang sinundan ng chat.Dragon Clarinet: Matutulog na 'ko. Matulog ka na rin. Goodnight!Binato niya ang cellphone sa higaan at bumangon upang pumunta sa banyo. Si Taylor naman ay nagtaka sa halos 30 seconds na VM mula sa dalaga. Nilakasan niya ang volume at pinakinggan ito.Her voice slightly trembled. Dama niya na mas nahihiya ito kumpara kapag naka-live, pero kahit na gano'n ay hindi maikakailang malambot ang pagkakabigkas ng dalaga sa kanyang pangalan. Her gentleness touched Devin's coldness. Nakahinga lang si
Chapter 30: Strawberry Lover, the #1 fanUmagang-umaga pa lamang ay sunod-sunod na ang pagtunog ng notification ni Mia mula sa Diamond Hub. The fans group chat was active. It awakened her sleepy soul. Agad niya itong pinindot upang magbasa kahit pa gulo pa ang kanyang mga buhok.[Dragon Clarinet: Good morning, everyone! How's your sleep?][Tiny Avenger: Good morning, baby~][Die With A Smile: Aga mo nagising, Ganda.]She turned to look at the clock. It was just seven in the morning. Maaga pa nga siguro para sa iba lalo na at wala naman siyang pasok.[Strawberry Lover: Good morning, Dragon Clarinet.][Dragon Clarinet: You missed a lot last night, Strawberry Lover. Mamayang gabi ba, makakanood ka na?]To others' eyes, mukhang may favorite na si Mia. In her defense, Strawberry Lover was the very first one to support her kahit hindi pa siya sikat kaya naman iba ang turing niya rito. He occupied a special place in her heart.[Strawberry Lover: I'm not sure actually. We're having problems c
Chapter 1 Like the air conditioner's blast wasn’t enough to make her shiver, the HR’s gaze definitely had the power to freeze her in place. The longer the recruiter stared, the worse Mia’s anxiety got. She tried to keep her cool, but her mind was already racing with all the possible things this woman might say. She turned to her assistant, her thick ponytail swaying as she moved. She flashed the paper in her hand and laughed before shifting her gaze back to Mia. Then, with a smirk, she spoke, her tone dripping with condescension. “I have to admit, I’m impressed. Ang kapal ng mukha mo mag-apply kahit wala ka namang credentials,” she scoffed. “Pero kung ako sa’yo, hanap ka na lang ng mayamang AFAM na bubuhay sa’yo. Sayang naman yang ganda mo kung dito mo lang gagamitin.” With zero hesitation, she crumpled Mia’s resume and tossed it straight into the trash. The document Mia had worked on for hours—just like that, gone. She lowered her gaze, ashamed, fidgeting with her fingers as w
Chapter 2 Just when Strawberry Lover made that comment, new viewers flocked in her live and seemed to have enjoyed the teasing of other male hosts. [Matrimony Kiss: How much for a dance?] The others replied to him that Mia doesn’t dance which encourages him more to higher the amount. [Matrimony Kiss: If I give you a cruise ship, would you dance for me?] Nakisulsol ang ibang nakikinood sa kanila. Mia laughed it off while the man was serious on his offer. [Matrimony KIss: That’s five thousand coins you shouldn’t miss.] Natahimik na lamang si Mia habang nakakagat labi. It was so tempting. That’s an easy money. Sayaw lang naman ang gagawin niya. “Anong klaseng sayaw ba? Kahit ano?” sa huli ay tanong nito. [Matrimony Kiss: Sexy dance. You know “Love Me Like You Do?”] [Alpha of the Universe: O kaya kahit sa thirst trap song na lang. If you know any Denise Julia’s song or Al James…] Kahit ang mga hindi naman nagsabi na magbibigay ay nakikisali. [Matrimony K
Chapter 3 The PK has ended. Naiwan si Mia sa sariling live, at mayamaya ay nag-uumpisa ng magdagsaan ang viewers. Some were the original ones, those who were there even before they started the PK, some were Tom’s supporters na nandoon lamang para abangan ang pag-alis ang beauty filter ni Mia. [Pakita mo na totoo mong mukha, pangit!] [Girl, alisin mo na filter. Ang sakit sa mata.] [Kapal-kapal ng filter. Halatang mukhang tae in reality.] Those were just a few of what the people were saying. Normally, if it is about her other characteristics, masasaktan siya lalo na kung alam niya na totoo, but this was opposite. She was not feeling anything. In fact, she was feeling more confident to slap the truth to the bashers. Mia couldn’t figure out why they have to be this harsh gayong wala naman siyang ginagawang masama. [Ang bagal mo naman. Nasaan na ang hinihintay namin?] Mia forced a smile to the waiting audience. “Sorry, but I am waiting for Trojan Virus as this is a deal

Chapter 27.2: Powerful Taylor[Ang dami kong natutunan ngayon. Isa na rito ay 'yong walang-wala ang pera ko sa pera ng mga mayayaman na kung gumastos e parang barya lang.][Wala na talagang usad 'yong healthbar ng tatlo. Mukhang gano'n na talaga at hindi lang internet issue ang problema.][Nasa halos kalahating milyon ginastos ni Raiden, ano? Pero parang dati, umabot siya ng 1m. Ngayon, wala pang 500k tapos tumakas na siya? Weak shit naman no'n.][Balita ko... balita ko lang, ah? Binugbog na raw siya ng tatay niya kaya siya tumigil.]The points in the other side didn't increase any further. Seeing that, Mia felt the wave of relief finally surging through her. She held her chest and shut her eyes. Finally, she exhaled a heavy sigh. She could now breathed properly.Kinakabahan pa siya kanina dahil mukhang ayaw talagang magpatalo ni Raiden kahit pa gaano ka-consistent si Taylor sa kanya. Akala niya ay papalag ang isang 'to hanggang sa kamatayan para lang patunayan ang pride na mayro'n si
Chapter 27: Powerless Raiden[Pansin niyo ba parang humihina na bigay ng kalaban? Hindi na yata nila kinakaya. Mamaya mahihirapan na 'yan maghabol kila Taylor.][Nakakalula na lagpas-lagpas 10 million na 'yon naipon puntos ng bawat team. Paano 'to kapag natalo sila? Sayang lang.][Grabe dati parang ilang daang libo lang labanan nila. Ngayon, umabot na ng milyon-milyob.][Daming kinita ng mga host na 'to. Ang sweswerte nila na nadamay pa sila.]All parties have their comment sections flooded with the crazy number of gifts coming in yo their account.The rise of the short videos in Tiktok led to lesser people who prefers to do live streaming. It was not the same before when apps like Diamond Hub were the go-to of whatever age either to have fun or to earn money. For the past few months, DH has never been as lively as this again.Halos lahat ng mga naka-online ngayon sa app ay nagpuntahan sa mga live room ng apat na host ngayon.

Chapter 26.2: The Battle Between the Rich MenDark Chocolate, the 3rd competitor, coaxed Rai as he continuously donated her large amount of gifts. "Anong pinagsasabi nitong mga 'to? Parang mga baliw." She rolled her eyes. "Nevermind, you keep saying whatever you want to say. I have Rai Charlie. This pogi will help me win."She couldn't defeat Dragon Clarinet's voice through singing dahil hindi naman maganda ang boses niya, so she spoke louder to overpower Clarinet. Depsite having many sponsors, the distance between the three of them were moving closer even though slow pace. The important thing here was that there was a movement on Mia's health bar.Mia turned deaf to whatever the other parties were saying. She focused on cheering for her own top sponsor in hopes that it could help or as a way of showing her gratefulness to the money he wastes on her."Taylor baby, ikaw ang king,Slayin’ the game like it’s your thing."Kanina ay tanging pagkanta lang ang ginagawa ni Mia, ngayon ay sin
Chapter 26: The Battle Between the Rich MenDragon Clarinet and her three rival hosts were fighting intensely. With the amount of gifts flooding all of their accounts, points ridiculously rising up that no one is getting left behind, and the consecutive arrival of other hosts and viewers in the Diamond Hub, their PK has topped the recommended live streaming in the homepage.Many whose intention was to hop from live-to-live found themselves being caught up in the battle between the rich men. Amazed by the amount of coins they were wasting just to prove something, their comments flooded the chat box like a river filled by the raindrops.Sa galante magpamigay ng dalawa ay iisipin ng mga hindi nagla-live na mura lang ang ginagastos ng mga ito. Although each peso has an equivalent, they have spent more than 10,000 pesos without even an hour passing by.[Taylor Reed gifted you a Caticlan x10.][Taylor Reed gifted you a Caticlan x25.]Caticlan was the most expensive gift available right now
