Chapter 145 A Greedy Man

The neighbor's nephew on the second floor of the apartment building had awakened.

It didn't take long for the news to spread.

The world was a small place, after all.

Michael wasn't the only one attending Woodstone Public High School No. 3, and as one of the rare individuals to awaken each year, his anonymity had quickly become a thing of the past.

Even students from other schools knew about him, whether they had seen him in person or not.

Some neighbors sighed at the family's newfound luck.

Others envied them.

A few were outright jealous.

And some remained indifferent, adopting the mindset that Michael's awakening had nothing to do with them and simply continued with their lives.

Regardless of their reactions, one thing everyone had in common was that Michael's name lingered in their minds.

To ordinary people, becoming an Awakener or cultivator symbolized taking a step closer to success.
