"Now, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Ling Wǔshì, the Student Council President of the K City University. Nice to meet you all!"- A bright smile was hanging on his lips and looked at everyone's shocked and stupefied expressions.

He didn't waste any time to entertain their questions floating up to their heads as he started the conference in a formal way.

"Thank you all for participating in this Press conference, although the cause was a bit petty, since the parents of the 'college' students demanded it, here we are now. Also, thank you to the Headmaster for playing the videotape before my appearance."- Ling Wǔshì said with a vibrant smile. Murmurs were getting louder, every one of the parents wants to shed their immaculate appearances and slap that little kid off the stage. What kind of disaster is he brewing?!

"Sir! Sir Ling! We have a question! Is it true that you one-sidedly fought this group of students at the school library?"- Marie's people started to ask him questions and Ling Wǔshì readily replied.

"I did. Do you want to know why?"- He smirked and looked down at the stage, staring straight at Pio's petrified look.

"Let's start off with our very good Treasurer of the Student Council, Pio. Didn't he tell everyone that I just punched him senseless and without reason, acted as if he's the victim here and hiding the other side of the coin? The videotape shows it all, I wonder whose crying wolf here?"- Ling Wǔshì asked and tilted his head.

"Oh! Let's not forget what they shouted so loud from their hearts while attacking Takeru Furukawa- THE Vice President of the K-City University Student Council and the Most hated commoner of the university."- Ling Wǔshì said and replayed the whole video on the white screen.

Everyone was angry at him, they were showing such obvious hostility that Ling Wǔshì could almost taste it in the air. He looked back at the cameraman and smiled,

"We all know that discrimination runs deep in everyone's heart, don't deny it so blatantly. However, Bullying has been linked to violence and many lost their lives and career just because of that alone. Is it acceptable to let the elite society play as gods and trample others?"- He smiled so angelically that it was almost hypnotizing!

[[Sir ling is right! They shouldn't bully others!]]

[[Sir Ling is right! Don't play gods here just because you have lots of money!]]

[[Sir Ling is right! We cannot let the Elite Society trample us!]]

[[Upstairs is right! Sir Ling is right!]]

The internet was starting to act crazy and supported Ling Wǔshì in a loud uproar. Ling Wǔshì smiled at the camera before standing up straight.

"I, Ling Wǔshì, The Student Council President of the K City University, will not apologize! The obvious culprits joined hands and threw mud at my reputation, pointing fingers at the innocent and trampling the weak! They are the ones that should be apologizing! Not only to me but to Takeru Furukawa! The true victim in this whole play! And to all of you who are watching! Who was misled and fed with false information!"- As soon as he finished his speech, The cameramen immediately turn and filmed the 'victims', finding more people that were showing hostility on their faces without reserve towards Ling Wǔshì and disregarding their public image.

"Audacious! Don't bend the public to your will! You're the one that's lying!"

"Apologize right here! right now! Who gives you the guts to attack our children! Who are you anyway!"

"Come down from that stage! How dare you tarnish our reputation!"

"You're nothing but a brat against us! Your eloquence is nothing against the elite society!"

Ling Wǔshì just smiled down at them and watch them all cluck like a cluster of noisy chickens. He fished out his phone and called a specific number on his phone log. After three rings, it was answered by a voice using a respectful tone.

"Yes, Young Master Ling?"

"Hey, you can drop the bombs now, all. at. once."- He said with a happy smile but a cold tone in his voice.

"By your will."- The call ended and he gazed back at everyone whose still busy cursing and throwing mud at his face. He looked at the other side of the gymnasium and saw Marie and Leo looking at him with relief in their expressions. He gestured to them to come towards him and walked backstage.

"President Ling!/President Ling!"- The two called for him with a smile. He nodded and patted Marie's head.

"Thanks for the hard work, you too Leo."- Ling Wǔshì said and patted his shoulder.

"Y-Yes! W-wait, we need to get out of here first, they are still acting like angry mobs in a rally."- Leo shook his head and told Ling Wǔshì to leave.

"Nah, let them be, you'll receive extravagant news in three... two... one."-Ling Wǔshì counted down and suddenly all of their cellphones rang at the same time. Everyone paused and opened their cellphones... before starting another ruckus!

"Breaking News! We are the Mountain News Reporters and we have received intel from our station that the K City is experiencing white rain and a tidal wave of juicy news! We'll be right back after the commercial!"

Marie opened her cellphone and received a lot of emails and notifications from her social media, her message, and a phone call from her father.

"Yes Father?"- She answered the phone and wondered why he called.

"Marie! this is an order as your superior! Do not let the elites in your university escape without being interviewed! The intel just now, and the reporters' flash reports- They are all true! Don't let them escape!"- Marie was astonished hearing the youth of her father's voice and his excitement transferring to her body.

"Y-Yes Sir!"- Marie ended the call and looked up to see Ling Wǔshì's smiling face. She gulped before giving an awkward smile.

"I-I'll go ahead and deal with the reporters, President Ling!"- She said and hurried back to the crowd. Leo also watched her run away before sighing inside his heart. They knew it! Ling Wǔshì is very powerful! Look at him trimming the elite society like killing his own garden! Unbelievable!

"Hey Leo, I'm awesome right?"- Ling Wǔshì asked with a chuckle, Leo nodded his head and watched his side profile while he looked at the chaos he made. Leo shook his head before sighing again.

"Tell the headmaster to declare no classes today. I'll visit Takeru first."- Ling Wǔshì said as he walked to the fire exit of the gymnasium. Leo blinked and stare at his back until he disappears outside.

'Sometimes... I fear and idolize that person...'- Leo thought before turning around and helping Marie.

He Míng rode his car towards the hospital to visit Takeru, from the distance, he can see a handful of choppers throwing papers down the streets and buildings. That was a part of his plan: the Downfall of the Elite Society in K City. He maneuvered around the busy crowd and parked at the hospital parking lot. Every direction he went, people were talking about the news about the elite society.

"Did you know, that family was actually...."

"Right right? Also the family of that person...."

"Really a bunch of scum! Why are they so high up in the Elite society when they are all so dirty?!"

"I can't believe I am using their products in the market. ugh!"

He Míng just smirked and went inside Takeru's private room. The guy was still asleep, he tried poking him awake but it was useless. He Míng sat back down on the sofa and opened the television to watch the news.

"Hey Furukawa, how long are you going to play dead? I need to finish my tasks here, so get up from your deathbed and grab back your throne!"- Ling Wǔshì clicked his tongue before opening his phone to look at the list of names that were all involved in the Library.

"Whose the main culprit? Who? Where are they?"- He Míng murmured and looked at the names in deep concentration. He needs to find out where and who that couple was before doing the tasks.

"Lifen... Lawson... Jie... Pascual... Heck, we have mixed races? Qinglin... Claus... Qie.... ugh so many names!"- He groaned and wanted to throw the phone out of the room again from his irritation.

"Oh right, I have the system, I'll make it work later."- He said and proceed to laze around the sofa.

While he was passing time and doing his mission, three of his butlers knocked at the door and greeted him in sync.

"Young Master Ling, we are here to give you an update,"- They said in a monotone as one started to report while the other two were filling the coffee table with five-star foods and wine. He Míng popped a grape on his mouth while listening to the report.

"The numbers of lower-tier elites are plummeting in real-time, many of their stocks are dropping and they are at their desperate times already. The middle-tier is still struggling but still has a grasp on their standing, but soon they will also fall down. The inner core of the elites is still standing strong."- The butler reported in a respectful tone.

"Oh right! I forgot about those three."- Ling Wǔshì snapped his fingers with a look of enlightenment on his face. The butler shuffled the papers in his hand before starting his next report.

"The matter with Lan, Christian, and Hans will end in two weeks' time. We are preparing them to meet the Young Masters' expectations."- He said and He Míng nodded, popping another grape in his mouth with a bored expression.

"What happened to the assignment I gave you for investigating nouveau riche couples studying in K City University?"- He asked as he drank wine from his wineglass, leaning back to the sofa.

"Yes, we have here the list of the recent nouveau richer couples studying in K-City. There are four couples: Maine Jiang and Klaus Luis; Feng Qinglin and Zhong Qui; Gao Lifen and Zheng Jie; Margaret Olson and Philbert Tyler. Here are their profiles."- The butler said and give the papers to him. He Míng gave the wine glass to the waiting butler on his right before taking the papers.

"Good work, destroy the most disgusting elites to oblivion. You can all go now."- He Míng said and they all bow down to him before leaving the room. He Míng looked at closed doors before he looked down at the profiles in his hands. He remembered there are two couples whose names appeared on the list earlier.

"System, scan these people and identify the traces of the bug."- He Míng said as the Revenge System appeared and took a copy of the information he has.

"I need that today, so do it fast. I want the missions done and over already."- He Míng said and shun the system once again. The poor system was slowly getting numb from his obvious actions and can't help but cry in silence, However, it stopped and turn back to look at its Host.

[By the way, Host, the bug is inside this premises.]
