The competitor stormed off in a rage, while Chairman White felt utterly exhausted. He hadn’t even had time to find a mirror to check how many more precious hairs he’d lost, when he heard Ethan White sigh and pat him on the shoulder.

“Uncle, I’ve pretty much greeted all the old family friends. You go ahead and take care of things, I’m heading out.”

“Where are you going?”

Ethan White downed the last sip of wine in his glass and said offhandedly, “Going to check out the ‘Unfinished Building’.”

The moment he heard the words “Unfinished Building,” Chairman White’s expression changed instantly. He forgot everything else, hurried after him, and lowered his voice nervously, “You’re still going there? Why don’t you go home and sleep? Why are you always hanging out with that group of evolvers?”

With those impossibly long legs of his, Ethan White could cover two of his uncle’s steps in one stride. He walked straight through the decadent, extravagant banquet, not forgetting to flash a flirty smile at a few beauties who sent him longing glances.

“It’s fine, Uncle. I’m just giving those evolvers who can’t adapt to society a place to stay. It’s not like I’m raising a bunch of would-be criminals.”

“But…”

“Besides, aren’t you an evolver too, Uncle?”

A wave of grievance surged in Chairman White’s heart—he really was.

Back when his sister and brother-in-law passed away, little Ethan White was only eight years old—huge family fortune, a young child, and to say Chairman White didn’t have any calculations of his own would be a lie. But Ethan White was born sharper than a fox and slipperier than oil, and he was the sole beneficiary of an overseas family trust—no one could touch him.

Chairman White could only give up any other ideas and honestly serve as regent, waiting to step aside once his nephew graduated.

Who would have thought that five years ago, a meteor shower suddenly struck Earth, and Chairman White woke up to find he had evolved—though only to a weak, powerless D-rank, but his intelligence and physical fitness had been completely transformed.

More importantly, at the time, there were all sorts of favorable policies for evolvers to maintain social stability!

Chairman White was instantly full of ambition, feeling that a brand-new life was unfolding before him. He was ready to strike out on his own and make his mark, when suddenly, disaster struck.

His beloved nephew had also evolved—and was S-rank.

One of only twenty S-ranks in the world, the pinnacle of humanity.

He could crush a D-rank like him as easily as squashing a bug!

Chairman White nearly fainted from crying under his desk, while the sensible Ethan White squatted beside him and comforted him: “It’s okay, Uncle. Why would I want to crush you? Relax and do your job well. My empire is counting on you to make money.”

That sunny afternoon, the wails of the White family’s crown prince’s hapless uncle, Longkodo·Chairman White, echoed through the top floors of the group, heard by half the building.

“Uncle,” Ethan White stood by the elevator outside the banquet hall, one arm around his uncle’s shoulders as if hugging a short, chubby potato, and sighed, “There’s something I’ve thought about for a long time, and I want to tell you from the bottom of my heart.”

Chairman White was choked with emotion. “What is it?”

“Those instigating words—just try to ignore them.”

Ethan White casually straightened his uncle’s tie and said earnestly, “After all these years, don’t you know me, Uncle? I’m a man of integrity, with clean hands and a noble character. I have no interest in money and have never thought about being a capitalist.”

Chairman White looked at his nephew’s 180,000-yuan custom suit and the 4.5-million-yuan Jaquet Droz watch on his wrist, and fell into deep thought.

Ethan White said, “My lifelong dream and pursuit is to strive for peaceful coexistence between humans and evolvers, and to dedicate my life to protecting the Earth!”

“………………”

For a moment, Chairman White didn’t know what to say. After a long pause, he solemnly applauded his nephew.

“So, there will be no changes to the company’s management in the future. Uncle will still be in charge, just like before.” Ethan White humbly accepted the applause and said kindly, “We’re family, Uncle. If anyone tries to sow discord between us again, just call me—I’ll personally insult their ancestors for eighteen generations.”

Chairman White never expected his nephew wouldn’t force him to step down. The surprise was so overwhelming his mind went blank, and then a surge of intense familial affection welled up: “Little Ethan…”

Ding—the elevator arrived. Ethan White waved and stepped inside.

Chairman White hurriedly followed him into the elevator, rubbing his chubby hands, not knowing what to say. After a long, emotional pause, he blurted out:

“Little Ethan, what do you want for your birthday this year? Do you like that 14-million-yuan 918 sports car? Uncle will buy it for you, okay?”

Ethan White looked at him fondly and smiled slightly:

“No need to go to such expense, Uncle. After all your years of hard work, with my dividends as the largest shareholder, I could buy a whole sports car production line. How about I give you a 918 instead?”

“……”

All of Director White’s feelings went straight to the dogs.

The transparent scenic elevator descended from the top floor, offering a panoramic view of the hotel’s magnificent interior.

“I’m planning to stay in Shenhai for good this time. I want to pursue my goals and ideals.” Ethan White stretched lazily and declared solemnly, “I want to be someone who contributes to society.”

This time, Chairman White sobered up and said coldly, “Contribute to the sports car industry’s GDP?”
