During this period, William Foster even used a honey trap, sending a mistress into the Qingshui Guild to pursue David Bolton. At that time, David Bolton and Ethan Clark hadn’t yet realized their feelings for each other. The hot-blooded David Bolton was instantly ensnared by that enchanting woman, and nearly caused the Qingshui Guild to disband!

Fortunately, during David Bolton’s low point of guilt and disappointment, Ethan Clark stood up against all opposition and firmly supported David Bolton, giving him boundless trust and encouragement. Because of this, the two of them finally came together.

However, Ethan Clark’s management in “Miracle” ended in complete failure. Her elders at home arranged a marriage for her with William Foster. Although she resisted many times, she only managed to delay things for a while. Then, the incident happened where David Bolton attended the wedding, only for both him and William Foster to perish together!

Phew!

David Bolton let out a heavy breath. Since he had been given a second chance at life, he absolutely could not let the same tragedy happen again!

The Lin family couldn’t accept him because David Bolton had neither power nor influence! If he could gain a status equal to the Lin family, then all difficulties would be easily resolved!

But, how could it be easy to achieve a status equal to the Lin family?

In his previous life, David Bolton had a modest family fortune, but he was self-aware—he was definitely not cut out for business! Even if he knew the major trends of the world for the next five years, it was impossible for him to become a top entrepreneur or businessman just like that!

Maybe, with some memories in his head, he could make a hundred million or so, but that was still far from the scale of the Lin family!

And the field he was most familiar with and best at was in “Miracle.”

—According to the official statistics in “Five Years of Game Review,” the highest-earning player in the S-Class League was “One Sword Overturns the City,” with an annual income of 420 million!

—Also from “Five Years of Game Review,” the total amount of virtual goods transactions completed through the game platform over five years reached a staggering 7.9 trillion!

David Bolton couldn’t be a prophet in real life, but he knew the trends of the game inside out! When which materials would rise or fall in price, strategies for clearing all dungeons, tactics for world bosses, how to trigger hidden quests—David Bolton remembered all of it.

Making a name for himself, establishing his own guild, and turning it into a top guild in China, or even one of the top eight guilds in the world, monopolizing and stockpiling materials—he could easily carve out a huge slice of the pie! One person’s strength was limited, but with a powerful guild as a foundation, in this god-level game, earning a fortune of tens of billions was absolutely possible!

By then, the Lin family, whose traditional industries were aging and desperate for transformation, probably wouldn’t even need David Bolton to pressure them—they’d shamelessly hand Ethan Clark over to him, just to get a share of the virtual industry!

And David Bolton could also fulfill his dream from his previous life: to dominate the S-Class Pro League and win the World Team Championship!

……

“Tap, tap, tap”—the sound of high heels approached, and as the class bell rang, a tall, slender beauty in professional attire walked into the classroom. She looked about twenty-three or twenty-four, her thick, jet-black hair coiled up, giving her a more mature air.

“Class, in less than ten days, you’ll be stepping into society and starting your careers. Here, your teacher wishes you all the best in finding a satisfying job…”

But David Bolton’s mind was completely lost in memories, thinking of Ethan Clark’s sweet smile. His pent-up emotions erupted like a volcano! He suddenly stood up, ignoring the fact that class had started, and rushed out of the classroom in a few quick steps, drawing astonished stares from his classmates and making the beautiful teacher at the podium tremble with anger.

However, as soon as he left the classroom, David Bolton stopped in frustration. Right now, Ethan Clark didn’t even know him. Was he supposed to run up to her and say, “Hey, I’m the man you’ll fall madly in love with in the future. Come on, let’s be together!”

She’d think he was crazy for sure!

Better to hold back! According to “history,” Ethan Clark would enter the game “Miracle” a year after its launch. For now, he could only wait!

David Bolton sighed, turned around, and was about to head back to the classroom, when he saw a stunning beauty standing at the door with her hands on her hips, looking fierce enough to eat someone alive!

“Zhang! Yang!” The beautiful teacher gritted her teeth as she called out David Bolton’s name, her fists clenching and unclenching, radiating violence.

Only then did David Bolton realize that this beautiful teacher was none other than Grace Bennett, with whom he would later have a one-night stand! He’d been quite drunk at the time and didn’t remember much, but right now he clearly recalled how alluring and seductive her figure was, and how astonishing the curves hidden beneath her suit were!

Looking at her fair, slender neck, his gaze couldn’t help but drift over her concealed, towering chest. David Bolton found it hard to see this beautiful, sultry teacher as just a teacher anymore. The scene of their “passionate battle” seemed to play out right before his eyes, making his mouth go dry and his gaze grow more suggestive and less respectful.

He flashed a toothy grin and said, “Teacher, I need to use the restroom!”

Grace Bennett was about to explode with anger!
