After spending the morning together, Lucas couldn’t help noticing that Mia seemed even more beautiful than before.

Her skin appeared more radiant, her smile brighter, and there was a unique charm about her that naturally drew attention.

Perhaps it was the expensive outfit she was wearing.

Perhaps it was the happiness reflected in her eyes.

Or perhaps it was the work of his dick.

Whatever the reason, even Lucas found himself staring at her more than once.

As they walked through the campus together, countless students couldn’t help glancing in Mia’s direction.

Many of the male students looked openly envious when they noticed Lucas by her side.

Lucas, however, had other thoughts on his mind.

One of the reasons he had accompanied Mia to the Dance Academy was because beautiful women naturally gathered there.

According to the system’s rules, meeting more high-quality targets meant more opportunities.

Unfortunately, after observing for most of the morning, he was somewhat disappointed.

While many of the girls were attractive, none had truly caught his attention.

Most of them would probably only generate ordinary rebates.

The kind of top-tier beauties capable of triggering huge multipliers seemed far rarer than he had originally imagined.

After accompanying Mia for a while longer, Lucas decided it was time to leave and handle his own affairs.

Mia reluctantly said goodbye before returning to class.

Lucas gave her a reassuring smile before turning and heading toward the campus exit.

However, just as he reached the area outside the hall, several figures suddenly stepped into his path.

His footsteps slowed.

A group of young men had surrounded him from different directions.

Lucas glanced at them casually.

Then his eyes narrowed slightly.

He immediately recognized two of them.

One of them was none other than Kai Vayne.

One of the wealthiest and most arrogant students in the entire university.

Kai stood at the center of the group with his hands in his pockets and a smug expression on his face.

The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere instantly turned cold.

Lucas’s expression remained calm.

But the warmth in his eyes disappeared completely.

He looked directly at Kai.

And waited for him to speak first.

From the moment Lucas had appeared at the Dance Academy and openly walked beside Mia, Kai’s mood had turned foul.

For nearly two years, he had been pursuing her.

Flowers.

Luxury bags.

Jewelry.

Private dinners.

He had tried everything.

Yet Mia had never given him more than a polite rejection.

It wasn’t because Kai lacked money.

Quite the opposite.

Kai Vayne was one of the wealthiest students in the entire university.

Luxury watches.

Designer clothes.

He had all of it.

The problem was his reputation.

Everyone in the university knew what kind of person he was.

He chased girls relentlessly. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The moment he became interested in someone, he would shower them with gifts and attention until they gave in.

Then, once the excitement faded, he would quickly move on to the next target.

Over the years, rumors linked him to dozens of girls.

Some people claimed the number had already exceeded thirty.

Whether that figure was accurate or not, one thing was certain.

Kai never stayed with the same girl for long.

To him, relationships were little more than a game.

A challenge to conquer.

That was exactly why Mia had always kept her distance.

No matter how expensive the gifts were.

No matter how many times he invited her out.

She had never been interested.

In fact, the more she learned about Kai, the less she wanted anything to do with him.

Unfortunately, Kai interpreted her rejection very differently.

Instead of giving up, his obsession only grew stronger.

That fact alone had already frustrated him enough.

Then came the rumors.

Rumors that Mia had suddenly gotten close to Lucas.

Rumors that Lucas had spent millions on her.

Rumors that the two of them were now practically inseparable.

Today, Kai had personally witnessed them walking hand in hand through campus.

The image nearly drove him insane.

In his eyes, Mia belonged to him.

Whether she accepted him or not was irrelevant.

He had already decided she would eventually become his woman.

As for Lucas?

Kai had investigated him.

A nobody.

Recently, there were rumors that he had suddenly become rich and thrown around eight million dollars.

Eight million?

Kai almost laughed when he heard it.

To ordinary students, eight million dollars was a life-changing fortune.

To the Vayne family?

It was pocket money.

The kind of amount his father could lose at a business dinner without blinking.

Yet somehow Mia had chosen Lucas over him.

The more Kai thought about it, the angrier he became.

Kai staring at Lucas with cold eyes.

His expression was filled with hostility.

"So you’re Lucas."

His voice was filled with contempt.

"I’ve heard quite a lot about you recently."

Lucas looked at him calmly.

"And you are?"

Kai’s face darkened.

The people around him were stunned.

Everyone in the university knew who Kai Vayne was.

Yet Lucas had just asked who he was.

It felt like a slap before the real fight had even begun.

Kai took a step forward.

His gaze became dangerous.

"Who the fuck are you to talk to Mia?"

"Do you know how long I’ve been chasing her?"

"You think just because you threw some money around you’re qualified to stand beside her?"

Lucas finally understood.

So this was about Mia.

Kai continued coldly.

"I’ll give you one chance."

"Stay away from her."

"Otherwise, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life."

Lucas looked at him for several seconds before suddenly smiling.

The smile wasn’t warm.

It was the smile of someone looking at an idiot.

That expression completely ignited Kai’s anger.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lucas slowly stepped forward.

His eyes turned cold.

"What gives you the right to decide who Mia talks to?"

Kai sneered.

"The right?"

"My surname is Vayne."

"In this city, that’s all the right I need."

Then his expression turned vicious.

"If you keep looking at me like that, believe it or not, I’ll gouge your eyes out."

The students watching nearby immediately sucked in cold breaths.

They knew Kai wasn’t joking.

This was exactly the kind of thing he would do.

Kai Vayne was infamous throughout the university.

There were countless stories about students whose lives had been ruined after offending him.

Yet Lucas showed no fear.

He slowly walked until he was standing directly in front of Kai.

Their faces were less than a meter apart.

"You want to gouge out my eyes?"

Lucas asked calmly.

Kai laughed arrogantly.

"Now you’re getting it."

Lucas continued.

"Is there no law in your heart?"

Kai burst into laughter.

"The law?"

"That’s for ordinary people."

Then his face twisted into a cruel grin.

"You’d better pray you haven’t touched Mia."

"Because if you have..."

Before he could finish his sentence—

SLAP!

A crisp sound exploded through the school entrance.

Kai’s entire head snapped sideways.

The world seemed to freeze.

Silence.

Absolute silence.

Every student nearby stood frozen.

Their eyes widened in disbelief.

Kai Vayne.

The campus tyrant.

The richest young master in the university.

Had just been slapped across the face.

For several seconds, nobody could process what had happened.

Even Kai himself stood there stunned.

His mind went blank.

Slowly, he turned his head back.

His eyes were bloodshot.

"You..."

SLAP!

Another slap landed before he could finish speaking.

This time Kai screamed.

The second slap was even harder than the first.

Half his face instantly swelled.

The surrounding students looked as though they had seen a ghost.

Someone had actually slapped Kai twice.

Twice!

One of Kai’s followers finally snapped out of his shock.

His face twisted with rage.

"You dare hit Young Master Kai?!"

"I’ll kill you!"

He charged forward without hesitation.

Unfortunately for him, he had chosen the wrong opponent.

Lucas didn’t even bother dodging.

The moment the man got close—

BANG!

Lucas drove a kick directly into his stomach.

The man flew backwards like a broken kite.

His body crashed into a nearby flowerbed before rolling several meters across the ground.

The entire crowd gasped.

Not a single person had expected Lucas to be this ruthless.

Or this strong.

At that moment, even Kai’s arrogant expression began to change.
