What a truly amazing feeling… “…E-even if you beat me up, please let me go once you’re done…!” pleaded the past Gerald. Since his beloved Xavia had now broken up with him, it truly seemed like he had nothing more to lose… And even if others were going to scold or beat him up, it’s not like he was going to have the ability to fight back or defend himself anyway! “By god!” muttered the future Gerald, unable to believe his past self. With one fluid movement, Gerald then poked his past self’s acupuncture point to shut him up. Sure enough, his past self instantly went unconscious after that! “You’re going to undergo a complete change of fate soon, buddy… I hope you won’t continue being a useless wimp like I had been right after my transformation! You’re a man, aren’t you? Start acting like one!” muttered Gerald to himself as he lifted his past self up, a wry smile on his face. The plan was for him to hide his past self well, and once he did, he’d erase the past Gerald’s memories
Upon turning around, Gerald instantly saw a few tall, graceful, and well-dressed girls standing before him. However, it was the girl standing right in front of the group who caused Gerald’s eyes to instantly well up with tears. It was Mila! As he immediately began breathing rapidly, Gerald recalled how he had been extremely worried and depressed just an hour ago. While it was true that he really wanted to meet up with Mila, he wasn’t even sure what kinds of emotions to present when he finally stood before her. Since he hadn’t really figured how to deal with his emotions yet, now that Mila was suddenly before him, he instantly found his mind going completely blank. Though he was now staring blankly at her, his mind was still able to register how beautiful, adorable, lovely, and kind-hearted she was! While he was filled with adoration for her, Mila herself couldn’t help but feel slightly frightened when she saw how Gerald was staring at her. While fear was her initial reacti
In the past, from the moment he had first met Mila and even after they had gotten together, their love had always been plain and simple. Despite having immense wealth later on, he never felt the need to do anything excessive or extravagant for her. After all, the past Gerald had felt that the only truly important thing was for both of them to deeply love each other. It wasn’t until much later when Gerald finally understood that even if two people were deeply in love, romance was still very much necessary. By the time he realized that and wanted to start trying to be romantic, however, it was already far too late. With that in mind, now that he had been given a chance to return to the past, Gerald truly wanted to make up for all these regrets of his. He wanted to give Mila the most extravagant romance in the world. He’d make her the happiest woman on the planet! While this was what he fantasized about, he decided not to return to campus just yet. He also knew that it would be best
“Hold on, now! Where do you think you’re going? Do you think this is someplace you can just enter indiscriminately?!” shouted a security guard as several other guards—who all had serious and solemn expressions on their faces—shook their electric batons threateningly before Gerald. Naturally, Gerald had instantly been stopped upon trying to enter the villa, and all the guards looked like they were ready to beat down Gerald without the slightest hesitation if he continued trying to barge in. “…Hmm? Hubby, look there! That repulsive person is trying to enter such a prestigious place as Wayfair Mountain Entertainment! He should really take a good look at himself first before attempting such a thing!” ridiculed a woman who had her arms locked with her husband’s, both of them sharing equally satirical expressions on their faces as they looked at him. While he heard that, Gerald really couldn’t be bothered with them. Either way, it was probably about time for Zack to set out to come mee
Gerald, however, simply retained his bitter smile. Thinking back, he felt that he truly had been a little too childish and naïve back then. Clearly dissatisfied by the indifferent look on his face, Xavia found herself asking, “…What do you mean by that, Gerald?” “I meant exactly what I said!” replied Gerald. “…You…! You pathetic fool! I’ll have you know that I’ve already been liking Yuri for some time! You’re just a pauper, you hear?! Only a fool would be interested in you!” scowled Xavia. “You can’t really blame me for liking him either! If anything, you should be blaming yourself for being such a disappointment and failing to meet my expectations! You know, aside from being able to buy branded handbags and cosmetics, getting together with Yuri has even granted me access to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment! What have you been able to give me? You absolute nothing of a person!” added Xavia who was scowling eagerly now, most probably because of her extreme embarrassment. “…Who i
“…What? Who did you say you were?” said the astonished security guard. He truly couldn’t believe that this young man before him—who was an actual pauper—would dare to claim that he was Mr. Crawford! While he definitely wouldn’t have believed Gerald judging off his appearance alone, the guard had the shock of his life when he saw the look in the youth’s eyes. He hadn’t really been paying too much attention to Gerald earlier, but after catching a glimpse of Gerald’s gaze—when Gerald was staring at him—the guard instantly felt a strong, pressuring aura from the youth. Adding the immense oppressive feeling—Gerald was capable of emitting—to his great strength, the stunned guard—who was now feeling chill after chill run down his back—felt more and more compelled to believe Gerald’s claim. Even Xavia and the others had been startled the second they heard Gerald say that. Soon after, Xavia snapped out of it before laughing and saying, “Did I hear wrongly? Who did you say you were?
Zack had initially thought that though Gerald had managed to find out about his true identity on his own, it’d still take quite a while for him to complete the transition. After all, Mr. Crawford had been raised in poverty for as long as he lived! With that in mind, Zack had prepared himself to be greeted by a rather embarrassed, and honest Mr. Crawford. Now that Gerald was before him, however, he could’ve never expected him to be someone so driven and courageous. What more, Gerald had a rather strong pressuring aura surround him at all times! While it wasn’t aimed at anyone in particular, it was enough to make those surrounding Gerald feel that it was hard to breathe. “Bingo. Also, I don’t just want you to buy it for me, but I also need you to hire an engineering team to begin excavating Mountain Top. Immediately. Let’s just say that there’s a massive boulder inside that’s extremely useful to me… Regardless, you’ll have six days to complete your task. Is there anything else you’
By the time Gerald was done speaking, everyone was completely dumbfounded. Regardless of whether it was because of how romantic his remarks were or something else, the scene was enough to cause a major uproar among Mila’s classmates! Some people were even snapping pictures of the scene with their cell phones! As Mila’s face grew the reddest she had ever been, Gerald—who was done speaking—simply turned around and left the classroom. Staring at Gerald’s back, Mila felt an inexplicable emotion welling within her… Where were these feelings even coming from…? Naturally, the incident quickly became extremely popular within the university the second Mila’s class ended. After all, a scene where a pathetic pauper attempted to pursue a goddess was something that one would usually only be able to see in movies! Regardless, Gerald’s move had amplified the courage of all the shyer boys who had previously not dared to ask Mila out. Due to that, many of them were now standing in line to give
