Li Kai watched the black luxury car parked across the street.
The woman inside slowly stepped out.
She was tall, elegant, and dressed in a perfectly tailored black business suit. Her long silver-black hair flowed behind her, and her sharp eyes gave off a powerful aura.
People around the café immediately whispered.
Is that… the CEO of Starline.
She actually came here.
But Li Kai wasn't looking at her beauty.
He was looking at the system panel floating above her head.
SYSTEM SCAN
Target: Lin Xiaorou
Age: 27
Occupation: CEO of Starline Company
Favorability: 5
Li Kai raised an eyebrow.
Wow… only five.
That was lower than Chen Yuna's starting favorability.
The system explained.
Note: Targets with higher status or stronger personalities usually begin with lower Favorability.
Lin Xiaorou walked toward the café, her high heels clicking against the pavement.
Her assistant spoke quietly.
President Lin, this is the man who bought the café.
She looked directly at Li Kai.
Her gaze was cold and analytical.
You bought this place.
Li Kai smiled.
Yeah.
For four million dollars.
Something like that.
Lin Xiaorou crossed her arms.
You overpaid.
Li Kai shrugged.
I can afford it.
Above her head
Favorability: 5 to 6
Li Kai laughed internally.
Even that worked.
Lin Xiaorou studied him carefully.
You don't look like a businessman.
Then what do I look like
A man showing off.
Everyone around them gasped.
No one dared speak to Lin Xiaorou that way.
But Li Kai only smiled wider.
Maybe.
He suddenly turned to the café owner.
By the way, increase the renovation budget.
The owner nearly fainted again.
H-How much this time?"
Li Kai thought for a moment.
Ten million.
The entire café froze.
TEN MILLION.
Chen Yuna covered her mouth in shock.
Lin Xiaorou's calm expression cracked for the first time.
Above her head
Favorability: 6 to 15
The system flashed again.
Charm Aura Activated
Nearby women gain +10 Favorability
Lin Xiaorou felt something strange in her chest.
It was subtle.
But she suddenly felt… curious about this man.
Her system number rose again.
15 to 25
She frowned slightly.
What exactly do you do.
Li Kai leaned back in his chair.
Spend money.
The assistant whispered nervously.
President Lin… he might actually be a billionaire.
Lin Xiaorou's eyes narrowed.
Above her head
Favorability: 25
But Li Kai noticed something else appear in the system.

Li Kai nearly choked on his drink.
Five hundred thousand a day.
Now he understood.
Some women weren't just targets.
They were boss-level characters.
Li Kai stood up and walked toward Lin Xiaorou.
Their eyes met.
CEO Lin, he said calmly.
How about we have dinner tonight.
Her assistant almost screamed.
No one had ever asked Lin Xiaorou out so casually.
Lin Xiaorou stared at him for several seconds.
Then she spoke.
Fine.
Everyone gasped.
Above her head
Favorability: 25 to 35
Li Kai smiled.
Perfect.
The system appeared again.
Warning
High-value targets may attract rivals and enemies.
Across the street, a man in an expensive suit watched Li Kai with anger.
His fists tightened.
Lin Xiaorou…
belongs to me.
Li Kai looked at the system and smirked.
Looks like the game just started.
