As Li Chan walks out of class, he thinks to himself:
"If it comes to it, I'll even leave this university."
Before he can finish his thought, his gaze falls outside. In front of the university's main gate, more than 100 bodyguards are standing, all bowing in one direction toward a single person.
Li Chan is slightly startled, then with a sly expression, he thinks:
"Who are these people? So many bodyguards for someone? Is this a politician? No... this seems like a really big shot."
Without saying a word, he heads straight toward the President's Hall. Upon entering the hall, his eyes land on a 45-year-old man white hair, deep glasses, exuding an air of distinct authority.
Right beside him sits another person a young master type, ultra-rich. Branded suit, expensive watch, and an overall classy aura. Seeing him, Li Chan thinks:
"Looks like some young master has come to meet President Dong... but why was I called here?"
Li Chan bows before President Dong and asks directly:
"President Dong, why have you called me here?"
President Dong smiles and gestures toward the young master:
"Li, we don't know what you said, but you've been summoned by Young Master Kuro of Kyoto's largest business group, the Kurozawa Group."
Li Chan immediately looks at Young Master Kuro. Fear and nervousness are evident on Kuro's face. Sweat drips from his forehead. Seeing this, Li Chan is a bit surprised.
Then he asks:
"Young Master Kuro, do you have some business with me?"
Young Master Kuro slowly rises from his seat. He looks at Li Chan for a moment, then suddenly bows before him.
"Young Master of the Ancient Family... please accept my greetings!"
Hearing and seeing this, both Li Chan and President Dong are so shocked it's as if a mountain has fallen on them. President Dong's eyes widen in disbelief.
Meanwhile, sweat continues to drip from Young Master Kuro's face. He begins recalling the events of the previous night...
Last Night
Kuro and his brother are sitting in the hotel lounge when their attention falls on Li Chan, who is leaving the hotel after paying with a black card.
After he leaves, the two approach the machine where Li swiped his card.
Kuro's brother notes the machine's PIN code and says:
"This... was it really an 'Imperial Black Card'? Or did some kid just modify his card to look cool?"
A little later, they return home. There, Kuro's brother calls a guard:
"There's a boy named Li Chan, a student at Hoshigawa University. I want all his information."
The guard immediately responds, "Yes, sir," and leaves.
Kuro, a bit hesitant, asks his brother:
"Brother Kai... do we really need to take this boy so seriously? He's just a university kid."
Kai, in a calm and cold tone, says:
"The last time a boy showed up with a 'Black Tiger Card,' he changed the entire map of the business world. Every business tycoon started calling him the 'God of Wealth.'"
"And now... for the second time, we've seen a 'Black Dragon Card.' Last time, we missed the opportunity. Not this time!"
He immediately opens the computer, enters the machine's code, applies some coding, and thinks to himself:
"This time, we won't leave any stone unturned."
"Let's see how much money is in this card…" Kai said while running the code on his computer.
But at that moment, the computer screen suddenly went black.
Kai, surprised, said, "What's this?" He looked at the screen in astonishment.
The next second, warning messages started appearing one after another on the screen:
WARNING. SYSTEM BREACH DETECTED.
Kai's face fell. "What… what's happening?"
Just then, a large pop-up blinked on the screen.
Kuro and Kai both stared at the screen.
"You're out of your league."
Seeing this, both of their eyes widened. They couldn't understand what had compromised their system.
At that moment, a bodyguard quickly approached from behind and said, "Sir, we've found out everything about that boy."
Kai, immediately curious, asked, "Found out? Which family is he from? Is he… the young master of the Imperial Family?"
The bodyguard, with a slightly strange expression, said, "Imperial Family? Sir… he's an orphan. He has no home, no family. He's studying at the university only on a scholarship."
The ground slipped from under Kai's feet.
Shock and disbelief clouded his eyes.
Then, calming down a bit, he said, "I understand…"
Kuro immediately asked, "Brother, what did you understand?"
Kai, taking a deep breath, said, "Li Chan is actually the young master of the Ancient Li Family. The same ancient family that never appears in public but has been secretly controlling the business world."
"Maybe now they're sending their heir into the world to see who will become the next head…"
"That black card… that system hack beyond our reach… everything matches."
"Last time, those who sided with that guy are now running country-level business empires. They started calling him the God of Wealth."
Determination now shone on Kai's face. "This time, we won't miss the opportunity."
Kuro, excitedly, said, "So what do we have to do now?"
Kai said, "Tomorrow, I'll call all my business partners to a hotel. You go and pick up Li Chan from the university."
With this thought, Kuro clasped his hands before Li Chan and said, "Young Master Li, my brother has invited you."
Li, surprised, said, "Me? But why?"
Kuro, humbly, said, "He wants to discuss some matters with you. Please spare some time for him."
Li Chan thought to himself, "Why are they calling me the young master of the Ancient Family? What's going on?"
Hesitating a bit, Li said, "Alright, fine. Let's go."
A satisfied smile appeared on Kuro's face. "Young Master, please follow me."
When Li and Kuro stepped outside, the entire class had already gathered in front of the campus.
As Li passed by, Dayna started running toward him. But a bodyguard stopped her.
"Hey, Ma'am, you can't just approach the Young Master of the Ancient Family like that."
Dayna, shocked, said, "Young Master of the Ancient Family?!"
The bodyguard nodded and said, "Yes, Ma'am. Until now, Young Master Li Chan had kept his identity hidden. But now he's revealing himself."
Hearing this, Dayna was stunned.
Just then, a system window popped up in front of Li:
[Host] – Dayna's trust level has increased from 25.1% to 50%.
Li, surprised, said, "But how? I didn't even do anything…"
Then another system notification popped up:
"You have already received 25.1 million yen. We are now transferring an additional 24.9 million yen."
Total Balance: 48.9 Million Yen
Seeing this, Li shouted in excitement, "Yes!"
Kuro, a bit concerned, asked, "Young Master Li Chan, is everything okay?"
Li, a little flustered, said, "Yes,iteral
System: Yes, everything's fine."
In his mind, Li thought, "No! I have to act calm and composed!"
Then they stopped in front of a Rolls-Royce.
Kuro, opening the car door, said, "Young Master Li Chan, please get in. We're now going to meet all the business tycoons of Kyoto."
Sitting beside him, Kuro asked, "Don't you have a car?"
Li casually said, "No. But I'm going to buy one."
Kuro smiled, "Then let's go car shopping together after this meeting."
The Rolls-Royce engine roared as it drove off.
