“JARVIS, well done!”
Ethan’s lips curved into a contented smile.
Twenty million, for an ordinary person, might be a sum enough to make them jump three circles in place with excitement, laugh heartily at the sky, and be overcome with joy!
But in Ethan’s eyes, who had long been unrivaled, twenty million was merely a drop in the ocean, no different from $2 .
Why should he be excited?
The reason he smiled with satisfaction was purely because he was exceptionally pleased with the performance of the super Al he had created!
It is my honor to serve you, Sir!
JARVIS responded with a smile.
“You certainly know how to flatter!”
Ethan chuckled, “First, transfer the past few months’ rent, principal and interest, to the landlady!
Promises must be kept!”
“As for the rest, I should go and enjoy myself properly!”
With money, Ethan’s first priority was naturally to fulfill his promise…
As for the remaining funds, Ethan was free to squander them as he pleased!
Before, in the Marvel Universe, Ethan even engaged in selling planets.
The exaggerated transaction amounts couldn’t even be described in RMB!
But no matter how much he squandered in the Marvel Universe, Ethan always felt like he was playing on a “private server”…
Especially now, after returning to the home universe, that feeling was even more illusory!
After all, he was an Earthling.
No matter how awesome the Marvel Universe was, he felt it was just reaching the pinnacle in a parallel universe.
And now he had come to the “official server,” with no monstrous powers, no mutated abilities, no exaggerated existences that could destroy the world at will or crush stars with a snap of a finger…
purely relying on technological analysis, development, and research!
In such circumstances, his “cheat” allowed him to directly obtain the right to use nearly twenty million.
That spontaneous, more realistic feeling was distinctly different from his experiences in the Marvel Universe!
Sir, there’s an incoming call from Fatty Dai.
Would you like to answer?
At this moment, JARVIS spoke.
“Fatty Dai?”
Hearing this long-unheard name, some images flashed through Ethan’s mind.
Fatty Dai was one of his closest high school friends.
During high school, it was the purest friendship; making friends didn’t depend on whether you had money, status, background, or utilitarian value…
as long as you were kindred spirits, you were good brothers who could hook arms and skip class together to go online!
But ever since they went their separate ways for university, Ethan’s contact with Fatty Dai became less and less frequent.
He could also clearly sense that Fatty Dai seemed to have become increasingly worldly, no longer the innocent good brother he was in high school.
So much so that after his junior year, up until today, he and Fatty Dai had never been in contact again.
“Answer it.”
Ethan said calmly.
“Hello, is this Ethan?”
The call connected, and Fatty Dai’s cool voice came through, without warmth or politeness.
“It’s me.” Ethan replied.
“I sent you a WeChat message before, didn’t I?
This weekend, our high school class is having a reunion.
It’s Adrian who initiated it, and he hopes all our classmates can come.”
Fatty Dai said, “You happen to be in New York City, so come along…
Maybe if Adrian is happy, he can help you find a better job.”
Adrian?
Hearing that name, Ethan narrowed his eyes.
Adrian Cross, once a bully in their high school, a perfect combination of a rich second-generation and an official second-generation.
His family was very powerful in New York City…
While one couldn’t say he controlled everything, running rampant was certainly not a problem!
And this name was infamous in high school.
Ethan still remembered his acts of playing with girls and bullying the weak to this day!
For such a prominent figure to suddenly host a class reunion and reconnect with “ordinary people” like them, Ethan couldn’t think of any other reason than to deliberately show off his achievements of the past few years in front of his old classmates!
“Fatty Dai, I remember you used to dislike Adrian Cross quite a bit, didn’t you?
How come you’re calling him Adrian now?”
“Did he give you money?”
Ethan took a sip of water, leisurely.
“Ethan, I know you might look down on me now, but I’m sorry, society is just that realistic!”
Fatty Dai’s emotions fluctuated, “Do you know how much I earn a month following Adrian?
Eight hundred thousand!
It’s eight hundred thousand a month!
That’s a salary you might not even get if you didn’t eat or drink for ten years!”
“Oh?
Really?
Congratulations then!”
Ethan chuckled.
Eight hundred thousand a month-if it were his pre-transmigration self, he would definitely be envious, jealous, and hateful.
But now…
sorry, as long as he wanted, billions in a second wouldn’t be a problem!
“You don’t have to be so sarcastic.”
Fatty Dai realized his tone was a bit agitated and calmed down, “I heard Claire Bennett will also be at this reunion…
I know you like her, but you’d better not try anything with her.
She’s now the heiress of a large conglomerate in New York City.
Her background and status are no less than Adrian’s.
Adrian is bringing us classmates along this time precisely because of her.
I hope you can seize this opportunity well!”
“Claire Bennett…”
Hearing this name, a beautiful figure emerged in Ethan’s mind.
A white dress, a beautiful face like a fairy from heaven, that brilliant smile when she looked back-he could never forget it!
Claire Bennett was the universally acknowledged prettiest girl in high school.
The number of people pursuing her could stretch from New York City to Jingshou!
Ethan was just a little surprised.
Not only was Claire Bennett beautiful, but she also had such a prominent background, almost on par with Adrian Cross!
“Alright, since you’ve said so, if I don’t seize this opportunity well, how can I live up to Adrian’s kind invitation?”
Ethan’s lips curved into a smirk.
It’s just showing off!
It’s not like no one else knows how to do it!
“It’s good that you can come.
This is one of your few chances to change your life, so seize it well!”
With that, Fatty Dai hung up the phone.
Sir, if you wish to attend the reunion, you’ll need to change into a suit.
“Please see if any of these options appeal to you.”
JARVIS directly listed over twenty suit options on the computer screen.
“No, suits are too boring!”
“If we’re going to have fun, we should go big!”
Ethan chuckled softly.
He had already planned how he would “reconnect” with his old classmates at the weekend reunion!
