"What a coincidence, you're studying here too?"
After spotting Evelyn, William took the initiative to greet her.
Evelyn rely nodded, not offering much of a response.
Her impression of William wasn't exactly favorable.
Despite them both working at a nightclub, what William had done was clearly not on the up-and-up.
William had first volunteered to entertain the wealthy older won, then followed them into a private room. Although he didn't leave with them, he had left the impression of a freeloader in Evelyn's mind.
A college student, already a freeloader?
Evelyn didn't respond, instead, she quickly walked away with a companion by her side.
Evelyn's friend kept glancing back at William, whispering, "Evelyn, do you know that handso guy? He's so attractive! Could he be your boyfriend?"
"How could that be possible?" Evelyn shook her head and whispered back, "I just t him yesterday, I don't really want to interact with him."
"Quick, tell , how did you et?" Evelyn's friend's eyes sparkled with excitent, "If you don't want to get to know him, you could introduce him to . I fell for this guy at first sight."
Evelyn poked her friend's forehead and said, "Quit daydreaming, you can't handle him, he seems to have caught Lila's eye."
Working at a bar, one wouldn't think William was rich, but the first ti they t, William had gotten out of Lila's car.
Who was Lila? An heiress of great wealth. How could her simple-minded friend compete with her?
Lila and William's pictures were now circulating in many people's social circles at the school.
"Ah—I rember now, he's Lila's rumored boyfriend!!"
"Just know it and stop." Evelyn didn't want to talk about bar matters anymore. If she said too much, she'd just be gossiping.
After Evelyn and her friend walked away, Wyatt sidled up to William with a smirk, "William, got your eyes on Evelyn?"
William nodded with a grin, "You could say that."
"Yesterday you were with Lila, and today you're already shifting targets," What else could Wyatt say?
Wasn't Lila the goddess of many n in the school?
But yesterday, she had actually waited for William at the male dormitory for such a long ti, even asking Ryan to buy daily necessities for William.
Wasn't this clear that she had a crush on William?
"Lila?" William shook his head, "I'm not too close to her, and I'm not particularly interested."
"..." Wyatt and Daniel didn't know what to say.
From William's tone, it seed like he didn't have feelings for Lila!
Did that an Lila was pursuing William, trying hard to win his favor, yet William remained indifferent?
A goddess was throwing herself at him!
"Why are you all staring at like that?" William arched an eyebrow. Was it strange that he had no particular feelings towards Lila?
At this point, Paul said, "Actually, I also think Evelyn is a better fit, Lila's family is too wealthy."
Wyatt gave him a sidelong glance, "Is wealth a bad thing? Do you know how many people want to marry Lila? Whoever can secure her won't have to worry about their future."
Paul chuckled, "You really think marrying into a wealthy family is that comfortable? If there's too much disparity between their statuses, even if Lila genuinely likes our William, her family might not agree. Even if they reluctantly approve of the marriage, he would have to endure endless difficulties."
"Anyway, if it were , I would be happy to, even if it ans putting up with so trouble." Wyatt smirked, putting up with difficulties? If he could marry a goddess like Lila, what would those difficulties matter?
"Enough already! The goddess has her eyes on William, what does it have to do with you?" Paul saw the situation clearly. After all, due to his weight, he'd never been popular with won. When it ca to a goddess like Lila, he didn't even dare to entertain the thought.
"How can you say it has nothing to do with ?" Wyatt said as he walked, "Birds of a feather flock together. A goddess' friends are typically goddesses. As long as William brings us along for any gatherings in the future, the chances of eting beautiful won will naturally multiply."
After Wyatt finished speaking, a gleam appeared in the eyes of both Paul and Daniel.
Upon hearing this, it did seem to make sense!
Last night when William wasn't in the dorm, the three of them realized sothing: William had the guts to beat up Ryan, despite him bringing a gang. All of them were sent packing. In the future, if they clung to William, wouldn't their dorm number 306 beco the coolest in the entire school?
With Wyatt's casual ntion, they felt that their university life would beco incredibly wonderful.
The three of them grew more excited as they talked, unknowingly they had already entered the lecture hall.
William had no interest in what these three were discussing. It was just about won, was it that interesting?
Of course, he didn't understand their perspective because he'd had countless romantic encounters. Naturally, he couldn't relate to the feelings of these young n who have been single since birth.
What interested William was the lecture itself.
It was a course on Ancient World History, and the lecturer standing on the stage was none other than the middle-aged man who had been with Edward Taylor yesterday.
When it ca to world history, it was unlikely anyone knew it better than William.
However, William was a bit curious about the "history" known by people in this era.
"Dear students, today we're going to discuss the founding of the Roman Empire," The lecturer, Jenkins Cooper, had also noticed William. When calling roll, he'd fixed his gaze on William for quite a while.
Yesterday, William was quite arrogant. Initially, he thought this young man must be so sort of prodigy. Unexpectedly, he was a freshman. This was rather amusing.
The old dean of Hudson University sought advice from a freshman and even got refused.
And now, William appeared in his lecture.
Jenkins Cooper did not deliberately make things difficult for William. After all, in a university lecture, he mainly focused on his lecture, seldom asking questions. Asking too deliberately would seem strange.
However, he would glance at William from ti to ti.
William listened with keen interest, as Jenkins Cooper's lecture was quite fascinating. Whenever Jenkins Cooper looked his way, he would give him a courteous smile.
The slice of Roman history that Jenkins Cooper was discussing had so discrepancies from what William knew. But ti grinds on and the long river of history buries countless truths.
How would anyone know that a thousand years ago, the formidable Julius Caesar himself had paid a visit to William, seeking his counsel?
Caesar, sitting across from William, brimming with confidence, asked, "Sir, I have conquered Gaul and Britain, defeated Pompey, unified the territories of the Roman Republic, compiled the 'Caesarian Code', established a new calendar system, and promoted land reform, bringing various regions into submission. Can this be called the greatest feat, even surpassing Alexander the Great?"
Looking at him, William calmly responded, "You're rushing too much."
Caesar took a sip of his wine and said to William, "If you would teach the art of immortality, why would I be in a rush? The lifespan of mortals is brief, and while I hold the reins of the Roman Republic, of course, I have to make my mark!"
At the ti, William no longer wished to easily alter the world's balance. Not to ntion teaching him the art of immortality, Caesar visited William over ten tis, only to be shown the door each ti. The last ti was no different.
After that, William never saw this self-proclaid legend, who claid his accomplishnts shadowed those of Alexander the Great, again.
