Big Capitalist

Kenan could never have imagined that the person he accidentally bumped into in his panic would be the famous President Merlin.

At that moment, he felt his heart beat a few times, as if it was about to burst out of his chest. Seeing his idol, whom he had admired for a long time, he was so excited that his body trembled slightly. He stammered, but couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. He just stared at Merlin with his eyes wide open, full of surprise and disbelief.

Merlin nodded gently with a gentle smile on his face. That smile seemed to have a soothing magic.

At the moment, Ke Nan was at a loss, his cheeks flushed red, and he said in panic, "I'm sorry, President, I really didn't mean it..." His voice trembled slightly because of nervousness.

Merlin waved his hand, his voice gentle but with unquestionable majesty: "It's okay, don't worry about it. I came here to find Ed."

"Looking for me?" When Ed heard his name, he subconsciously pointed at himself, and his heart was also filled with turmoil.

In his heart, President Merlin had always been an unattainable existence, the goal and direction for him to strive for. Now this legendary figure actually came to him in person, how could he not be excited? He felt beads of sweat oozing out of his palms, and his breathing became rapid.

The other students standing nearby couldn't hide their excitement the moment they saw Merlin.

The president of the student union of the Arcane Academy is a big shot who can shake the academy with just a stomp of his feet.

The families behind them all hoped to establish a relationship with Merlin in order to enhance their family's status and influence.

At this moment, when everyone looked at Ed, in addition to envy, there was also a hint of barely perceptible jealousy.

Merlin looked at Ed with a slightly inquiring look: "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

Ed nodded hurriedly, so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly: "Of course... President."

When the other students saw this, they became more envious. They secretly wondered why Merlin was looking for Ed, and at the same time they silently hoped that they would have such an opportunity in the future and be favored by this important person.

After a long while, Ed walked out of the Student Union Office Building in a daze.

The conversation with President Merlin just now was still echoing in his mind. Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a dark shadow approached like a ghost. Before he could react, a pair of strong hands quickly grabbed his body.

Then, a wave of magical power suddenly erupted, and Ed felt the scenery in front of him changing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he was brought to a quiet grove.

This grove was the place where Merlin had stopped Kairos from bullying Stacy, but Ed and this mysterious man were completely unaware of this.

The mysterious man threw Ed to the ground fiercely. Ed fell heavily to the ground and gasped in pain. He immediately raised his head alertly, staring at the other person, and asked loudly: "Who are you?"

"Oh? You forgot about me so quickly?" The mysterious man first looked around, and after confirming that no one was following him, he slowly took off his hooded robe, revealing a face that Ed had expected.

"Angelica!" Ed blurted out, secretly groaning in his heart, as the other party seemed to have bad intentions.

"I never thought that the poor boy in the alley would be able to enter the Arcane Academy. I underestimated you." Angelica sneered, with a dangerous look in her eyes. "However, since you still remember that incident, I can't let you live."

As she spoke, she slowly raised her left hand. In an instant, the fire elements gathered towards her palm frantically as if they had heard a call. The blazing flames burned fiercely in her palm, and the air around her seemed to be ignited, and the temperature rose rapidly.

However, Ed did not show any fear. He just stared at Angelica quietly, his eyes as calm as water.

Angelica felt annoyed when she saw that her threat did not work, and the flame in her hand went out instantly.

Ed thought to himself that he did not sense any real killing intent from Angelica. Besides, this was the Arcane Academy, and the school rules were strict. If Angelica really wanted to kill him here, even if Duke Rudeus was behind her, he would never be able to save her.

What's more, the fact that she was able to kidnap me so quickly after I came out of the Student Union Office Building meant that she had been secretly watching and following me, and she must have seen the scene where I was taken away by President Merlin.

He was certain that Angelica would never dare to take the risk of offending President Merlin by attacking him.

Ed looked at Angelica, sighed helplessly, and slowly said, "How could I easily forget what happened in the alley that day? You ordered those guys to strip me of my clothes and wanted to make me your slave. This kind of thing can't be forgotten just like that."

"Shut up! How can you remember it so clearly!" Angelica's cheeks turned red instantly. She covered her face with one hand in panic and shouted loudly, with a hint of shame and embarrassment in her voice.

Ed and Angelica are both gifted magicians. Their mental and soul powers far exceed those of ordinary people, and their memory is amazing. What happened in the past is like a mark engraved in their minds, and they will basically not forget it. They can even accurately find any information they have seen in their memory palace, just like opening a book that can be consulted at any time.

"No, it's not what you think! What happened before was a complete misunderstanding!" Angelica argued incoherently, waving her hands in the air without any plan. "After I left, I actually went to call for someone to rescue you. I was young and ignorant at the time, and those hooligans misunderstood what I meant. When I said I wanted to see if you had any blemishes, I meant on your face. Oh, anyway, it's not what you think!"

Ed looked at Angelica speechlessly. He never thought that the arrogant girl would be like this now.

He let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I think I understand. Are you afraid that I will tell others about what happened before? Don't worry, I won't do that. However, after all, what happened before has already happened. You have to give me some compensation, right?"

When Angelica heard what Ed said, she froze in place. She subconsciously glanced at her body, and then her face became even redder. She pointed her finger at Ed and cursed, "You... You are shameless! How can you make such a request? I tell you, I will never be your girlfriend!"
