Once again, the stream surged to the top of the trending list. Initially third on the local charts, it had now ascended to a prominent position on the national ranking.The moderator praised himself for his sharp eyes again. He reviewed the contract Aria had signed and registered Heartbound Hall in this competition. Every year-end, Shark held a competition to determine the top ten most popular streamers on the platform. Those among the top ten would then be awarded a sum of prize money.The streamer in tenth place would be awarded 100,000 dollars, and the sum would increase by a hundred thousand dollars by every rank. Additionally, the streamers would also have the opportunity to attend a year-end party in Janovin.The moderator noticed that Aria didn't care much about all that, so he thought he'd register on her behalf. He believed she had a good chance of entering the top ten. While she couldn't compete with the big-shot streamers and their massive fanbases, her popularity was
Aria paused in surprise. York?"Holy shit, a Holy Emperor!""This streamer is amazing! This is only her second time streaming, but a Holy Emperor has already visited her stream and given her a Meteor Shower! I'm jealous!"That wasn't the end of it, though. Another system notification appeared. "Holy Emperor VIP: York gave Heartbound Hall two Meteor Showers. 100 Galaxies will be randomly gifted to viewers in the stream!"LikeYouLots: "Holy mother! 100 Galaxies!"Night11: "A Meteor Shower costs 5,000 dollars, so three Meteor Showers amount to 15,000 in total, right?"GettingAJob: "Shh, stop talking. Mr. York is still giving her gifts!"WannaDate: "Hey, Helen's fans, do you feel like clowns now?"A Meteor Shower didn't only bring profits to the streamer. A stream that had received a Meteor Shower as a gift would also be publicly announced on the platform. This meant that anyone who entered the platform would see this stream. Aside from that, the Galaxies that would randomly
Someone had come to look for the moderator just now. He'd been worried that the new streamer had done something wrong, but it turned out that they wanted to award her a certificate. Looking at the data at the backlog, the moderator was so shocked he couldn't utter a single word—the new streamer who'd started streaming two days ago had been given gifts valued at 200,000 dollars! The moderator was so happy that he could pass out. On the other hand, Aria was extremely calm. "Thank you for the gifts, Mr. York." Aria's gaze darkened slightly. "But you've given me too much. I don't receive gifts when I haven't done anything to deserve it."StarryEyes: "She's not enthusiastic enough."WannaDate: "She's always been calm and collected. She said that she'd focus chiefly on patient consultations, too."ShinyBaby: "She's amazing, that's all I can say."…Landon sat in his private jet, his lunch beside him. He took the towel his bodyguard handed him and read the comments in the stream.
"Mr. Ingerton?" The speaker looked at Harry in confusion. Harry didn't care about how influential those people might be in Southbury. He grabbed one of the men present and asked, "It's her! Do you know this streamer?"The man was confused. "Mr. Ingerton, we're at the Chamber of Commerce right now. About this random streamer…"Harry was annoyed by the man's ignorance but didn't say it aloud. "Whatever. I'll look for her myself."She was in Heartbound Hall in Clearwater Alley, and he could easily go there with the help of a GPS. With the meeting focused on external investment and Harry as its centerpiece, it was to be expected that the others present would experience unease at the prospect of his departure."This meeting hasn't ended yet, Mr. Ingerton," Norman remarked, daring to do so because of his status in the medical industry, "Is leaving just like that really an appropriate thing to do?""Who cares about if it's appropriate?" Harry thought, "Like I give a shit about who yo
"Finally I get to meet you, Mr. Ingerton…" Marshall reached out, about to introduce himself to Harry. However, one of Harry's bodyguards stopped him. "Mr. Ingerton has something important to attend to. This business meeting can wait for tomorrow.""It's not a business meeting!" Marshall kept trying to push forward. "It's a personal matter!"While the bodyguard hesitated, Harry said, "Who's blocking the way? Push him away."What if this made him miss the opportunity to meet Boss? Who should be responsible for that?Seeing how this attempt to barge forward wasn't working, Marshall yelled, "Mr. Ingerton, why did Grand Construction Corp. decide to stop partnering with Kent Corporation? This came without any warning! What should I do with the steel we withheld?"The bodyguard didn't want to hear his voice, so he covered Marshall's mouth and pushed him aside.Noticing how pathetic Marshall was, the other people present didn't want to involve themselves in this. It was perfectly norma
On the other hand, things were getting worse in Helen's stream. The netizens were all indignant. They wanted Ocean to give Helen 50 more Meteor Showers. LoveHelen: "Do you not feel indignant at all, Ocean?"HopeItsYou: "Keep going, Ocean!"Lookkkk: "Or can you not compare to the other guy, Ocean?"Ocean was an employee of the platform, so giving some gifts wasn't anything that difficult for him. He wasn't dumb enough to do it for free, though, so he DMed Helen, cigarette between his lips.Ocean: "I'll give you 50 more. How does that sound? Do you want that too?"Helen didn't feel happy about it, but she could only force herself to say, "No, no. I'm already happy that you're here in my stream, and you've always been taking good care of me. You've given me so many Meteor Showers today. Thank you for your generosity!"The moderator of her stream and the other viewers present were observant enough, and they commented to thank Ocean for his generosity.Only then was he placated.
"We're here, Mr. Ingerton." An expensive car stopped in front of a junction. Harry peered at the narrow and ancient-looking alley, frowning. "You sure?"Why would Boss be here, of all places? There was a market nearby where elderly men and women were bargaining with the sellers. Harry had never been to a place like this since he entered the business industry. Reagan said, "This is Clearwater Alley. Or do you want to look for her in the hospital opposite this place?""A hospital? No, no." Harry pointed at the alley. "This will do as long as we're in the right place."The possibility of Boss working in a hospital was even lower, with how lazy she was and how averse she was to the stench of blood. While he spoke, Harry leaped out of the car and walked, followed by his group of bodyguards clad in black. Anyone not in the know would assume that he was a gangster, what with this casual lawlessness he was exhibiting. Although Harry had a smile on his face, he didn't look like a
"Why are you trying to deceive me?" Harry was the one who came inside. He let out a hearty laugh.Clayton was so scared that his hands shuddered, immediately ducking behind Aria.Aria lowered her gaze calmly. Her face was strikingly beautiful, and it was difficult to overlook her.Harry noticed her the moment he entered, though he didn't reckon she was the one he had been looking for. Then, he walked over with his bodyguards."Kid, is your parents home? I'm not feeling well, so I thought of visiting after seeing your livestream."Harry, being quite astute, quickly surmised that his boss intended to maintain her anonymity by lodging in such a modest place.However, Aria grinned devilishly after hearing that. "You're calling me a kid?"The delighted smile on Harry's face disappeared as he turned around. He found her voice and tone oddly familiar.Aria chewed on her gum while grinning. "Mr. Ingerton, you're quite forgetful. You can't even recognize me?"At that moment, Harry want
