Chapter 11: Wealth Showcasing
Some of the students on stage frowned at once. “Just stop,” someone from Level 1–A whispered harshly at him. “Shut up,” another muttered under their breath. “You’re making it worse.” One of his classmates quickly turned to the attendant. “Please,” he said politely but hurriedly, “he’s two weeks late, he only got admitted today.” Another added, “He doesn’t really understand how things work here yet, that’s why he’s behaving this way.” A few others nodded in agreement, trying to smooth things over. The attendant looked at Kael again, then at the group, his expression tightening slightly. The judges exchanged quiet looks but Kael said nothing more. He stood there silently, hands by his sides, while others spoke for him, explaining him away, dismissing his words as ignorance. Brian sat there quietly, his eyes fixed on Kael. He didn’t say anything, but inside, he was confused. “Why would Kael lie like that? he wondered. “Why say such big things in front of everyone?” It didn’t make
Chapter 12: Gold Mine
Kael nodded calmly.“Yes,” he said. “I’m sure about that, " my grandpa told me. He owns it.”The reaction was instant.Students looked at one another in shock. Even Elara, Ariana, and Brian stared at him, stunned. The hall felt suddenly very small, very quiet.One of the judges leaned forward, her face serious.“Do you even know what a gold mine is?” she asked. “Do you understand that it costs tens, sometimes hundreds of millions to own a gold mine?”She paused, then added sharply, “Correct yourself, do you mean he works in a gold mine? As a laborer?”Kael shook his head gently. “No,” he said. “He owns it actually.”For a moment, no one spoke, then someone whispered loudly, “What…?”Others just stared at Kael as if he had lost his mind. Brian’s mouth was slightly open, Ariana frowned, confused and Elara sat frozen in her seat.To everyone in that hall, Kael sounded unbelievable and crazy. The attendant narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Kael.“Do you have any proof to back this
Chapter 13: Attendant Meets Principal
Laughter followed. “Yeah, maybe it’s hacked.”Another chimed in, “Or empty with fake numbers.”“How much could he even have?” Another asked The jokes spread quickly, easing the tension for everyone, but the judges did not laugh, and neither did the attendant. They understood something the students didn’t. Certified readers did not crash because of fake accounts.Kael slipped the card back into his pocket, unaware that the claim he had made earlier was no longer being dismissed. A judge cleared her throat and said, “Alright, that will be all for now, you may leave so the next group can come and do their part.” Everyone began to stand up, chairs scraping lightly as students turned and started walking away from the stage, voices slowly rising again.As Kael stepped down, Brian walked up beside him and smiled. “Hey man, you did well, congrats,” he said. Kael let out a small chuckle but didn’t reply. Brian nudged him lightly and added, “Your card literally broke the system, how much is e
Chapter 14: Aurelia Heights Estate
Meanwhile, after hours of study, the final class of the day came to an end. The students had gone through about four lectures back to back, and by the time the last teacher dismissed them, it was already around 2 p.m. in the afternoon. Chairs scraped against the floor as students stood up, packing their things and talking loudly about the long day. Some looked tired, others relieved, and a few were already planning what to do next as the classroom slowly emptied and everyone began to head out of class.At that moment, Kael stood up as well, slipped his backpack onto his shoulders, and walked out of the classroom with the others. He had only taken a few steps outside when he heard a voice call out behind him.“Hey, wait for me.”Kael turned and saw Brian hurrying after him. Brian caught up and walked beside him, “So, where to?” he asked.“Class is closed, right?” Kael replied.“Yes, but I mean where are you going from here?” Brian asked. “Hostel?”“Hostel?” Kael repeated, slightly conf
Chapter 15: Aurelius Estate II
As Kael walked into the office, the cool air and quiet atmosphere greeted him. The office was quiet and carefully arranged, soft lighting reflecting off floors and a front desk positioned neatly near the entrance. He walked up to it, where a receptionist sat behind the desk, typing on her computer. She looked up, and her eyes paused briefly on his clothes. From his dressing alone, she instantly assumed he was a lowly personShe glanced at him once, then looked past him toward the glass door. “Are you here to see someone?” she asked.“No,” Kael replied. “I came to rent a place.”“Rent?” She was surprised and looked at him from top to down, her smile tightened slightly.“Clients usually arrive with prior appointments,” she said. “This office handles confirmed residents only.”Right after that, she returned her attention to the computer, already dismissing him without asking him to leave.“I do not have an appointment because I'm a student and new here, I need a place and it's urgent.” H
Chapter 16: Aurelius Heights Estates III
The woman froze for a second, then looked at him sharply. “Excuse me?” she said, clearly taken aback.Kael met her eyes and repeated calmly, “If I decide to buy it instead of renting, how much would it cost?”She stared at him for a moment, then let out a short laugh, shaking her head slightly. “Are you here to make fun of me?” she asked, her tone turning incredulous. “What do you mean by how much if you’re buying? People don’t just walk in here asking to buy apartments easily.”“You shouldn’t joke about transactions at this level,” she said at last, her tone calm but dismissive. “Properties here are normally handled through financial representatives or prior arrangements.”She leaned forward a little, studying him openly now. “How much do you even make to be talking about buying a house here?” she asked, half-laughing, half-serious, as if the idea itself sounded unreal to her.Kael looked at her calmly and said, “I prefer ownership,” he said simply. “That’s why I asked.”The woman sh
Chapter 17: $200k Apartment
Still, something in his tone, too calm, too certain, made her hesitate. With an irritated sigh, she dropped the phone onto the desk, grabbed the card again, and slammed it into the machine. Her fingers jabbed the buttons harder than necessary as she entered 200,000.She shoved the device toward him. “Pin,” she said coldly.Kael entered it. The machine then began to process. For a second, nothing happened.Then—Ding.A sharp green light flooded the screen.TRANSACTION APPROVED.The sound was louder than it should have been. At that moment, neither of them moved. Kael’s phone vibrated gently in his hand. He glanced down at the notification, then placed the phone back into his pocket.She didn’t blink too, her fingers were still hovering over the machine.“Check again,” she whispered to herself.She refreshed it, but the confirmation remained. She refreshed it again, still there.“Gulp!” Her throat tightened.The boy she had almost thrown out had just transferred two hundred thousand do
Chapter 18: Celeste Harrington
As Kael stepped inside, the calm beauty continued. The interior was quiet and cool, designed with soft colors and clean lines, something so different from the houses in his village.Celeste walked ahead, showing him around. The living room was wide and airy, furnished with modern sofas, a glass center table, and a large flat-screen TV mounted neatly on the wall. Floor-to-ceiling windows opened the space even more, letting in natural light and giving a clear view of the estate outside. The curtains were thick and elegant, clearly custom-made.She led him toward the dining area, which blended smoothly into the living space, then into the kitchen. The kitchen was fully fitted with sleek cabinets, built-in appliances, and a clean island in the middle. Everything looked unused, perfectly arranged, like it had been waiting for someone.They moved down the hallway to the bedrooms. There were three in total, each room was spacious, well-lit, and furnished with large beds, wardrobes, and priva
Chapter 19: Clothes Shopping
After he was done picking the tops and trousers, Kael’s eyes caught something at the corner of the store. A suit set hung neatly on a shelf, simple but sharp, the kind that would look perfect for any campus activities.He walked towards it and reached out to pick it up but the attendant reacted quickly and stepped closer. “I’m sorry, sir,” he said politely but firmly. “That one is Arden & Cole.” He lowered his voice slightly. “The full set alone costs five thousand dollars.”He gestured toward another section. “We have other suits that are cheaper and still very nice, you can take a look at those instead.”Kael paused for a moment, looked at the suit again, he had fallen in love with it, so he then turned to the attendant calmly,“I want it,” he said. “Don’t worry about that.”Gasp!”The attendant froze for a second, clearly shocked. “Excuse me?” he asked, thinking he might have heard wrong. “I said it costs five thousand dollars.”“I want it,” Kael repeated calmly, his tone unchange
Chapter 20: Clothes Shopping II
The attendant snapped.“Bullshit,” he barked angrily. “You still have the energy to act big?” He leaned forward, his voice rising. “How dare you come here and joke with me like this?”A few people nearby paused to watch.“You think this is a playground?” the attendant continued, pointing at Kael. “If you cause a scene here, I’ll call the security guards and have them deal with you properly.”He moved closer, lowering his voice but making the threat clear. “Don’t push your luck, this is a high-end store, not a place for people like you to come and waste our time.”The young man laughed again and looked at Kael with open mockery. “You want to wear nice clothes?” he said loudly. “Dream on.”He smirked and leaned slightly closer. “You know what? How about this, I’ve got old clothes I wear around the house, If you come to work for me for one month, I’ll give you one.” He laughed at his own words. “Those ones will be expensive to you. You’ll even feel proud wearing them.”His girlfriend la
