You Are So Tactful. I Like Smart People Like You!

Little Grey Wolf, actual name Li He. He had recently been full of success.

Being a not so authentic child of an official, Li He gave off the feeling that he was a man unfit for a higher post but unwilling to take a lower one. 

His dad was the section chief of the land tax office. Despite his high position, he couldn't do anything with it as he did not have actual powers in his hands. Yet he had to keep up with the appearances when he was outside.

Everyone thought that his dad was some officer or chief of the land tax office with extremely great power, and they looked up to him. But what was the use of that? No money! No money! What was the use of having no money in contemporary society? They said the golden age for men was after their thirties. Bullshit. The golden age for men was before turning twenty-four! Anytime after that, you would be a loser if you were still broke! 

Li He had been especially afraid that he would become a loser himself in the future, having a great title without capabilities. If he couldn't afford to marry and couldn't afford to buy a car and a house, wouldn't he be doomed?

But everything had changed! He had Awakened—he was at the peak of his life! 

Just the day before, someone had gifted him ten thousand dollars in the broadcast. It had been a rich lady—they had become online friends and he had looked at her photo. She looked okay! Although she was slightly older (twenty-six), was there a problem with that? She was rich, she had a background! Was age an issue? Not possible, right?

And it wasn't just one, there were a few—they had even asked him for dinner! It would have never happened in the past.

Li He felt that coming for dinner was flattering enough for Zhang Minghui and Zhang Yang. There was no other way. His dad and Zhang Minghui had met before and he also had to pay respect.

But for someone as amazing as himself...

"Brother." Li He stood tall and straight as he walked over to Zhang Yang and said, "Actually your Awakening power is not too bad. However, if you compare it to the Awakeners from the Elemental System, it is indeed lacking a little....what a pity." 

What was Zhang Yang like? He had always been arrogant knowing that he would be directly enrolled into Qinghua University. Except for the incident where he had recently suffered a blow from Hong Xiaofu, he felt superior to everyone else.

Zhang Yang couldn't be harsh to him, Li He thought. 

What to do? He was an Awakener of the strongest Fire System. His power had been tested—he could be burning in flames within seconds. The scene would be absolutely frightening, and Zhang Yang would not offend him even if he had good physical strength. What if he burned his own fist?

Zhang Yang only looked down in fear and said, "Yes yes, it is indeed a pity. That's why I'm treating you to a good meal Brother He. Do look out for me in the future." 

"Don't worry about that." Li He was confident: to him, looking out for people was even simpler than eating or drinking. He laughed and replied, "I'm not boasting right now. Just within the city, considering people of our age, no matter how many there are, I'll be able to fight them! Fortunately my Awakening score was 3.22%, genius level! I even got an invitation from the military yesterday. They said that if I go into the military, I will have the rank of Second Lieutenant. You know, those that have tens of people below them!" 

After Li He said this, Zhang Yang was filled with envy. Since Li He indeed had an amazing power, he could not do anything nor go against him.

"Yes, I knew you were always this capable, Brother He!" 

As they talked, they arrived at the hall. Zhang Yang's dad, Zhang Minghui, looked around the area. He casually found a table and sat down before saying, "Alright, I'll be taking the bill today, please feel free to eat." 

Li He was certainly not modest when it comes to eating. He would freely order food such as lobsters and abalone, since he knew that Zhang Yang's family was rich and those expenses meant nothing much to them.

After they were done ordering food, Zhang Minghui and Li He's dad were talking and catching up with each other. Li He slouched on the sofa as he said to Zhang Yang, "The ambience here is indeed not bad, you actually made a decent choice." 

"Of course." Zhang Yang poured drinks for Li He and said, "If I were to be sloppy about treating Brother He for this meal, wouldn't that be an insult?" 

Zhang Yang was very good at sucking up to him. Li He instantly smiled and said, "Okay brother, I like your personality, we get along. If you need help with anything in the future, just call me and I'll be sure to settle it for you. Judging by my power now, even the mayor must pay me some respect—anyone else certainly doesn't matter." 

Zhang Yang was in Year 3 of high school. In other words, he was still a pretentious teenager. When he heard that, he replied excitedly, "Brother He, you can look out for me?" 

"Did you have to ask?" Li He smirked, "I wish I was low key too, but my power doesn't allow that. What can I do? I can definitely help you with anything you need!" 

They both laughed. Zhang Yang giggled while he thought they guy could really brag—he did it better than him!

Dinner was served. The four of them started eating. After a while, Li He started looking around. He quickly noticed the table that Hong Xiaofu was seated at. When he saw Su Ying, he was pleasantly surprised and he asked, "Hey, brother, look. That young lady at that table looks beautiful! Medium height, quite petite and cute... she is totally my type!" 

When he heard that, Zhang Yang felt extremely uncomfortable. Su Ying was his dream lover, how could Li He want to snatch her away? 

"Brother He." Zhang Yang said softly, "She is a student from my school. I'm in Class 15, she is the Class Monitor of Class 16, her name is Su Ying. That—actually I have been trying to chase her…" 

"Oh? Her name sounds nice." Li He took a glance at Su Ying and looked at Zhang Yang again before he said, "You mean you failed to chase her, right? You are so smitten. Does she have a strong family background?" 

Su Ying definitely came from a good background. Zhang Yang nodded his head firmly and said, "Her family is very well off, her dad is the chairman of a company on the stock market, a few hundred millions in assets. She is definitely my ideal type. An Awakener of the Elemental System, with the ability to control ice." 

Awakener! And an Awakener with the power to control ice, nonetheless!

Li He's eyes lit up. Strong family background, perfect talents, beautiful. Wasn't she just made for him? He was instantly fired up. Must have been fate.

He did not wait a second before killing Zhang Yang's idea, "As the saying goes, a kind and beautiful girl is a good man's good mate. If you had chased her, I wouldn't have said anything. Since you didn't, I naturally stand a chance too! She is such a beauty, only a man with virtue deserves her!" 

Man with virtue, bullshit! Zhang Yang growled internally.

Before they had come in, Zhang Yang had already seen Hong Xiaofu and the rest, but he did not dare go over. Hong Xiaofu had left a great shadow in his heart.

His power was absolutely unreasonable, it was ridiculous!

However, that day...

Zhang Yang looked at Hong Xiaofu, then at Li He.

What the hell? Li He was so arrogant, did he not say that he could challenge anyone in the city? What would happen to him if he faced Hong Xiaofu?

"Erm." Zhang Yang poured another drink for Li He and said, "What else can I say. Why don't I bring you over to get to know them?"

Li He was instantly over the moon.

"You are so tactful. I like smart people like you!"
