Chapter 78: 78. The tenth richest man

That day, Riki finally went to campus with Anton, because Anton offered to be Riki’s driver.

Since Riki didn’t want to drive himself, it was better for him to have a personal driver.

For some reason, Riki thought about what Deva and Travis had said about the celebrity he had found on the beach.

Her name was Ivana.

It was common knowledge that Ivana had achieved her success thanks to the help of one of her sponsors, who people said was a wealthy old man.

However, two months ago, it was revealed that Ivana had a boyfriend who was a fairly well-known film director. As Ivana’s name continued to rise, she always received many film offers. This included an offer from a film that wanted Deva and Travis to audition for roles in the film. However, it was clear that the female lead was Ivana.

Finally, Deva and Travis were accepted, and they had even met Ivana several times. The shooting schedule had also been set.

But suddenly, Ivana disappeared.

Because of this, this morning, the news about Ivana caused a stir among netizens.

Various speculations about Ivana’s death were circulating everywhere.

Even Riki’s name was dragged into various articles in online news media.

Some of the headlines read, "Famous celebrity found behind the house of a wealthy young entrepreneur" or "Ivana’s body found by a crazy rich young man." And several other headlines that made Riki sick.

He was happy to be reported as a young entrepreneur or crazy rich, whatever that meant. But Riki didn’t want to be linked to someone’s death.

Riki just found her.

For some reason, Riki felt bad because of the news.

When he arrived at campus, he was immediately surrounded by people who wanted to know about Ivana’s death.

Anton, who was slightly bigger than Riki, tried to protect him.

Riki let Anton protect him like a bodyguard because he had to get away from there immediately.

"Don’t let them in here, Anton," said Riki.

The two of them entered the classroom, which was still empty. Luckily, the curious people didn’t dare to disturb them after Riki entered the classroom.

Riki and Anton, who were relieved, didn’t realize that among the handful of students who had come to class, there was one person who was also there. She stared at Riki and Anton with disgust.

"So you two can be friends, huh? Did you get together and become friends because you’re both my ex-boyfriends? Hahaha, that’s so funny. You can hang out and mourn your fate because now I’m dating the tenth richest person in this country," said Hannah.

Riki and Anton looked at each other and burst out laughing. This made Hannah, who had been feeling proud, annoyed.

"Why are you two laughing?"

Anton turned to Hannah, "Look, Hannah, Riki and I don’t care about you anymore. You want to date an old man, or even date another woman, we don’t care. Besides, you’re just his mistress. His wife and children are still number one. He’s just using you for fun. Since you chose that old man over me and Riki, who are handsome, just enjoy what you can get now," said Anton.

Hannah was still smiling, even though she looked very annoyed by Anton’s recent remarks.

"Whatever you say! You two are just pretty faces, but you’re nothing compared to him. And he’s the only one who can make me a celebrity or top idol, while you? Even your father is bankrupt, Anton, and Riki... I don’t see his name on the list of the richest people in this country," said Hannah.

Riki, who had been silent, suddenly laughed out loud. Because he had an adorable fairy assistant who had a lot of information, Riki easily found information about Hannah’s boyfriend.

The old man in question was a 45-year-old man named Jack Handerson. He was the same man who sponsored Ivana, whom she had told Deva and Travis about earlier that morning.

Apparently, because the man thought Ivana was no longer young and attractive, even though Ivana was only 27 years old and still very beautiful, Jack got rid of Ivana.

As the tenth richest man in the country, Jack was certainly powerful. Jack’s wife also had lovers who were handsome young men. In fact, Anton was offered by his friend to become the woman’s boyfriend. But Anton refused and chose to kneel at Riki’s feet instead.

Riki was very surprised that Anton did not choose a dirty way to get money like Hannah. But, all that information was very funny to Riki.

"Why are you laughing?" Hannah asked Riki, feeling very offended.

Riki shook his head, then looked at Hannah and smiled slightly.

"I’m just remembering what happened this morning, Hannah. Did you know that a celebrity named Ivana died after being thrown into the middle of the sea and was later found on the beach? I was the one who found her. Her beautiful face was disfigured. And you surely know that she was successful because she had a sponsor, right?"

Hannah fell silent upon hearing Riki’s words. Hannah knew that too, but she wanted to close her eyes and ears.

"I don’t want to know about other people’s business. I am who I am, I won’t be like other people!"

Riki shrugged, "Fine, it’s up to you. If you’re not beautiful anymore and get thrown away, then I might find you on the shore too."

"SHUT UP!!"

Instead of being quiet, Riki chuckled when he heard Hannah scream.

Soon after, the classroom was full, and the lecturer was about to arrive.

Suddenly, Anton approached Riki and whispered, "You know, that guy is really ugly, and I feel a strange aura when I look at him. He’s the CEO of an entertainment agency that’s a rival of Hayper Entertainment," said Anton.

Riki smiled slightly, happy that Anton now genuinely wanted to be useful to him.

Riki felt he had two very useful assistants.

Riki turned to Twaila and sent telepathic messages to the fairy.

"Turn yourself into a solid form, put on nice office clothes, and go to the office building to meet Jake. Then help him with his work in my place."

The fairy nodded happily at getting the job. She vanished with a loud poof sound that only Riki could hear.

***

[Your second mission today is to help Leon handle the Ivana case]

[Your reward is +2 to all stats and ownership of one of the largest hotels]

Riki had just finished all his classes. He thought he would take a break, since Twaila could handle the office work.

However, it turned out that there was a new mission that was actually quite important. Riki, who didn’t want to get involved, was interested in getting involved this time.

He wanted to see Hannah’s face when she found out that the ugly old man she was proud of was actually a dangerous person.

Although Riki remained silent during his argument with Hannah, he couldn’t deny that he felt very angry.

"Riki!"

Suddenly, Liz appeared from behind as Riki stood up from his seat.

"Where are you going after this?" Liz asked.

Then, Riki showed her several missed calls from Leon.

"Leon asked me to come to his place and testify. I’ll go there with Anton, because today he is my personal driver," said Riki.

"I’m ready to take you anywhere, boss!" said Anton.

It was actually a little strange to see Anton like that. Not only Riki and Liz, but almost everyone in the class was very surprised to see Anton’s behavior. It was like he had changed 180 degrees. Anton didn’t even care about his friends who used to be very close to him.

"You idiot, you’re like licking your own spit now. Disgusting," said Hannah.

Anton grinned, "Well, I think I’m better than a crazy girl who becomes an old man’s mistress just because— OW!"

Hannah kicked Anton’s leg to stop him from revealing her secret.

"Shut up, or I’ll tell everyone your secrets!"

Anton snorted, "Whatever!"

Hannah left with her expensive Hermes bag.

"I can take you to Hayper Entertainment first if you want," said Riki after Hannah left the classroom.

Liz nodded, "Okay, but if I go with Angeline too, will there be enough space?"

"Of course there will be, you guys can sit in the back."

Anton could only remain silent and sneer as the two walked in front of him, looking very intimate, even though there was no physical contact at all.

When they picked up Angeline, she simply agreed to their invitation. At a glance, Anton could tell that Angeline was jealous of Liz and Riki’s closeness.

"How about you sit in the front with me, Angeline?" asked Anton, when they were in the parking lot.

Angeline didn’t say anything, she just immediately opened the back door of the car. She pretended not to hear Anton’s words.

Seeing this, Anton just smiled, finding the situation amusing.

"Do you know why Angeline seems to be in a bad mood, Riki?" whispered Anton, as the car drove away from the university.

Riki looked at Angeline, who was chatting with Liz through the front mirror of the car.

"I don’t know, what’s wrong with her? Isn’t she acting normal?" asked Riki.

"Can I ask why she and you broke up?"

"I don’t understand either. She said she wanted me to date her, not forced or anything like that."

"So you’re not perfect after all, huh?"

"What do you mean? Just say I’m stupid in love matter. I already know that."

Anton just laughed, seeing Riki looking annoyed by his question.
