Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Lila was feeling particularly conflicted. After she went home yesterday, she had inquired from her grandfather about who exactly William was.

However, her grandfather remained elusive, merely suggesting, "Since William hasn't shown you the door, maybe you can attempt to take him as a master. If that doesn't work out, becoming friends would be good too."

When she pressed further, Anthony Carter stopped her inquiries, instructing her to just follow his lead. Taking William on as a teacher puzzled Lila. Did her grandfather know of William's proficiency in ancient scripts? Surely she couldn't expect William to teach her how to drink!

William clearly understood that these were all maneuvers from Anthony Carter, gradually building to the point where Lila and he would become friends. Though he found Anthony's strategic games somewhat off-putting, he didn't particularly mind Lila.

"Let's eat," William proposed, selecting a clean table and signaling for the waiter, "Let's order."

Given the prior commotion, it was as if nothing had happened in William's eyes. No matter the era, good food remains a constant.

Without a hint of hesitation, Lila took the seat opposite him. Evelyn and her companions, however, were momentarily unsure if they should join. William beckoned them over, "Come sit."

Leaving now, given the circumstances, would be even more awkward than simply taking a seat. Yet, Wyatt and his friends hesitated, feeling a tad out of place sitting with the dazzling beauties, Lila and Evelyn.

"What are you guys waiting for? Come on over," William beckoned with a smile. "My treat."

Lila nearly asked, "Can you afford it?"

Just as they settled down, William pulled out his phone, "I borrowed some money from you yesterday. Let's settle that. Add me on WhatsApp."

Having recently mastered the smartphone and WhatsApp, William seemed like a child with a new toy, finding joy in adding contacts and transferring funds.

Without ceremony, Lila drew her phone, flashing her QR code for William, "Here, you can transfer."

She was unaware of his finances and hoped the payment wouldn't exceed his balance.

After adding her on WhatsApp, William transferred $1,500 to her, asking, "Is that enough?"

Receiving the payment, Lila beamed, "Quite generous, aren't you?"

The waiter then approached, a little anxiously, and handed them the menu, "What would you like?"

Who could blame him? After witnessing William's dominance, even greater than Ryan's, he realized that annoying the young heir of a wealthy family was far beyond his paygrade.

William skimmed through the menu, noting its affordability. He spotted a BBQ platter for $50 and a vegetable salad for around $15. With only $500 left in his pocket to last him till the end of the month, William was calculating his expenses closely. Though he had recently received an advance of $2,000 from Maria, he didn't want to dip into the next month's wages.

"Let's get two BBQ platters and two salads. That should be enough for everyone." He glanced at Evelyn, "Sounds good?"

Evelyn responded with a gentle smile, "Sounds great."

Lila, leisurely browsing the menu, chimed in with her order, "I'll have a truffle steak, a baked lobster, and some foie gras."

William swallowed hard, trying to mask his astonishment but failing, "Lila, those are some of the most expensive dishes here."

While many men might splurge in such situations to impress, William quickly realized he'd have to re-budget his month.

Lila shot William a playful smile, teasing, "I thought you were loaded, William."

Unfazed, William addressed the waiter, "From what she just ordered, we'll take the baked lobster and nothing else."

Baked lobster alone costs $80. It's a lavish treat already, especially for him.

Most importantly, William had never tasted baked lobster.

At $80, it must be scrumptiously delicious.

Baked lobster primarily originates from the northeastern U.S., especially Maine and Massachusetts. The fundamental preparation involves blending fresh lobster meat with ingredients like butter, wine, cheese, breadcrumbs, and spices. This mix is then returned to the lobster shell for baking, resulting in a culinary delight that combines tender lobster, crispy breadcrumbs, and a rich seasoning.

Like many classic dishes, variations of baked lobster exist across different regions and households. Yet, no matter the version, it remains a favorite seafood treat on the U.S. east coast, adored by locals and tourists alike.

William had tasted many delicacies, but baked lobster was still new to him.

Although not wealthy, he believed in indulging once in a while, making sure his money was well spent.

"Add me on WhatsApp," William handed his QR code to Evelyn.

Directly asking someone for their contact on the second meeting, and even proactively passing his own QR code, made quite the impression. Daniel and the others were quite taken aback by William's boldness.

More surprisingly, he had just added Lila on WhatsApp in front of Evelyn and was now asking Evelyn to add him.

My God! Is it that when you're handsome, you can do whatever you want without considering the feelings of two girls?

All eyes were on Evelyn, eager to see if she would add him.

Evelyn hesitated. While not particularly fond of William, he did intrigue her. Everyone operates within different social circles. Why was a rich, privileged individual like Edward wary of William? Why would William, who dared to cross Ryan and knew Lila, claim to be poor during their lunch order?

Who exactly was he?

Evelyn caught William's gaze. His deep, discerning eyes were unlike those of the wealthy heirs she knew. Rejecting his request in front of everyone might be quite embarrassing for him. She could always add him now and not chat later.

Eventually, she added William on WhatsApp. His profile picture was a cute little duck, juxtaposed with a straightforward name, "William".

Hmm, a duck?

The odd combination of his profile picture and name was amusing.

"I'll add you too!" Lucy, with a cheeky smile, whipped out her phone and promptly added him.

Witnessing this, the trio from the dorm were flabbergasted.

Was this even real?

In just two days at the university, William had managed to captivate three beauties. While Lila and Evelyn, being the goddesses they were, stood apart, the trio did harbor some hopes about Lucy. They believed that while William pursued the ultimate beauties, the charming Lucy might be left for them.

But Lucy's starry-eyed expression clearly showed her interest in William.

Having managed to win over all of them, William seemed invincible.

How were they to compete? Couldn't William leave some opportunities for the rest of them?
