Chapter 35

Although Phoebe never denied that Jack was a clever person, she believed there was no way he could be here.

Sure, miracles happened. But considering the billions of people in the world, the probability of a miracle was almost nonexistent.

Based on Jack's academic performance, it seemed impossible for him to gain admission to one of the nation's top five universities no matter how hard he worked.

The thought was too absurd.

While Phoebe sat in the cafe, lost in thought, Jack returned to his dormitory with Isaac after regaining his composure.

Isaac couldn't stop talking, eagerly asking Jack for tips on how to execute a dunk like the one he had just performed. He wanted to know how to end the game with the same flair and confidence.

Standing at 6'3", Isaac could dunk, but he couldn't pull off the kind of awe- inspiring dunk that Jack had just achieved. If he could execute a dunk like that, surrounded by cheering girls, it would be the epitome of cool.

While responding to Isaac's questions, Jack's mind kept returning to the beautiful face he had seen under the court lights.

The person was so beautiful and gentle. He was certain it was Phoebe.

But Jack held back his excitement and didn't approach her.

After all, Phoebe was admired by everyone. Every day, countless men surrounded her, fighting for her attention. If Jack wanted to leave a lasting impression on her, he needed to do something unforgettable.

Today wasn't the right time. No matter how much he wanted to approach her, he forced himself to wait for the perfect moment that would make Phoebe see him in a whole new light.

As time passed, the weather grew colder, and the leaves on campus trees began to fall. It was now late autumn.

Lately, Samuel had been looking downcast. Rumor had it that Jenna, the girl he had been flirting with, had started seeing a rich heir from outside the school. This left Samuel dejected. To numb himself, he spent his days binge-watching adult films and drinking. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ find•novel.net

One day, Samuel pulled Jack aside and suggested they pool their money to buy an inflatable doll. Jack was horrified and flatly rejected the idea.

Meanwhile, Bloody Dawn, the game Jack had invested in, was booming in popularity. Its success brought profits to the team, and within just a month, Jack earned nearly two hundred thousand dollars from his share of the profits.

For Jack, this was an enormous sum at this stage of his life. Even though he was prepared for it, seeing the money in his bank account still filled him with excitement.

When the monthly earnings were transferred to Patrick's team, Patrick and his crew were equally thrilled. In all their years of creating game cheats, this was their highest payday yet.

This massive success boosted their confidence and deepened their trust in Jack.

While Jack and Patrick were basking in the success, the much-anticipated Youth Vocal Showcase arrived as scheduled.

The preliminary rounds lasted only a month, but with Jack and several renowned artists supporting him, Luca became the star with his original song and soon gained popularity.

Luca quickly established himself as a rising star, attracting attention from professional artists. His music career seemed destined for greatness.

Meanwhile, on the internet, the singer, "Soul", was also making waves.

His song, "Heart's Desire", was at the height of its popularity, and his older hit, "Time", also experienced a resurgence. Together, the two songs dominated the charts, something that had never been seen before.

This wave of success also brought Jack a lot of income.

The massive number of downloads for the online songs earned him a fortune in a short time, pushing his savings to nearly half a million dollars. However, Jack also felt a growing sense of urgency. He knew that to maintain his edge, he needed to keep improving.
