Caden's girlfriend stabbed him in the back on his twentieth birthday. Heartbroken and embarrassed, he cried his eyes out until he vomited blood and fainted. A droplet of his blood stained the ring he never took off his finger. Like magic, the bloodline detector that had been inactive for twenty years was finally activated. The system showed Caden a lot of jaw-dropping things about his origin. In the blink of an eye, he went from being a poor student to a big shot who owned several investments and businesses. He soon went on to become the richest young man in the world. All those who humiliated him in the past, including his backstabbing ex, came crawling to his feet. Should he pay them back in their own coin?
"Oh, honey... Be gentle. It hurts..."
Tristan Stanfield stood outside the gym of Singve University. He was about to enter, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard a ragged voice coming from inside.
The voice sounded very familiar. He couldn't be mistaken. It was his girlfriend, Ellie Harrison.
"Do you believe me now? I am way more skillful than that piece of trash, Tristan, right?" Another familiar voice rang out in Tristan's ears. This time, it was a man.
Tristan was so shocked that the food container he was holding fell from his hand. Two hamburgers rolled over and scattered on the ground.
He stood in front of the door, trembling all over.
Anger surged in his heart, and it almost overshadowed his sanity. It was as if he was about to lose his marbles.
A loud bang echoed in the gym.
It turned out that Tristan kicked the door open. His eyes were already red.
Inside the gym, Ellie was in the middle, hugging Kevin Vance, a famous rich young man at Singve University.
Their clothes were disheveled, making them almost naked.
"Ellie! How can you do this to me? What did I do wrong? How can you cheat on me like this?" Tristan cried painfully, holding his head. He felt like he was about to explode.
But Ellie didn't show any sign of fear. She didn't even look guilty. Instead, she looked at him disdainfully and waved her hand as if she was driving a fly away.
Then she said coldly, "Are you sure you want to hear my answer? Fine! But don't blame me if it hurts you. Tristan, you are an orphan. Both of your parents died when you were small. No one is supporting you. You even have to work part-time in the cafeteria to earn money for your tuition fee in college. In short, you belong to the bottom of society. So tell me, what will I get if I stick with you?
I must admit, I also have a fault here. I was so stupid in high school that I wasted my time with a loser like you. But I'm thankful that I finally sobered up. I'm dating Kevin now. So stop pestering me already."
Every word that Ellie said was like a sharp knife that pierced through Tristan's heart. He looked at her and said indignantly, "Ellie, let me just remind you that Kevin is a playboy. Someone like him never treats a woman seriously. Yes, he takes a fancy to you now. But sooner or later, he will grow tired of playing with you. Then he will throw you away like trash."
After hearing Tristan's words, Kevin did not get angry. He even looked proud. He said triumphantly, "Tristan, listen carefully. Ellie is my girlfriend now. So stop pestering her anymore. I'm taking her to Breezy Hotel for a meal. Then I will book a room, and we will sleep together tonight."
As he spoke, he looked at Ellie and smiled lewdly. "Honey, I bought you a pair of sexy underwear. We can play as we like tonight. We will definitely enjoy it."
Ellie clamped her legs tightly upon hearing this. Her face even flushed, and she panted softly.
Tristan saw all this. All he felt was the hot blood surging in his chest, and he was dizzy. His legs went so weak that he staggered backward.
He and Ellie had been together for three years. They were high school sweethearts, and they were still together until college. But in three years, they hadn't even held hands.
In his eyes, she was pure and innocent. That was why he always respected her.
Never did he think that she behaved like a slut in front of Kevin.
At the thought of this, the anger in Tristan's heart intensified. It was as if a monster was about to jump out of his chest. He clenched his fists tightly, and he trembled all over.
He looked at Kevin and Ellie and muttered self-mockingly, "In the three years that we are together, she never allowed me to touch her. It turns out that it's because she thinks I'm poor. Does money really matter that much?"
When Kevin saw the painful expression on Tristan's face, he became even more excited.
He looked at Tristan with eyes full of disdain and ridicule. Then he smiled and said, "By the way, you destroyed my hamburgers. I will go to the cafeteria and complain. I will make sure you will lose your job."
After saying this, he held Ellie's hand and pulled her out of the gym.
Tristan watched their receding figures. He had the urge to rush over and stop them. But as soon as he stepped forward, he felt that the surging blood in his body became uncontrollable.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then everything around him went blank. He completely lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
Tristan's blood stained the ring on his finger. Surprisingly, the ring instantly absorbed it.
He inherited this ring from his parents, and he always wore it since he was a child.
Tristan had been wearing the ring for twenty years, but nothing strange happened. It was just an ordinary bronze ring. But at this moment, the ring emitted a strange light.
Tristan didn't know how long he was unconscious. But when he opened his eyes, he was already lying on the bed in the school infirmary.
His body still felt weak, but he struggled to get up. Accidentally, his fingers touched the bronze ring.
Then suddenly, a distant voice rang out in his head.
"Ding! You have activated the Magnate System.
First novice task activated: spend one million dollars. Once you complete this task, the hidden achievements will be triggered, and the system rewards will be obtained. You have twenty-four hours to finish the task.
The system is now transferring the funds to your account."
When Tristan heard this strange voice in his head, he was so stunned that he froze for a while. He thought someone must be playing tricks on him. He looked blankly around the room, hoping to find that person.
But at this moment, his phone vibrated, bringing him back to his senses. He picked it up and checked the new message. It was a notification from the bank.
"Your account received a transfer of $1, 000, 000. Your current balance is $1, 000, 078."
Tristan was so stunned that he dropped his phone. It fell on the bed.
