Number one beauty!

"Why does the surrounding suddenly start smelling so bad?" Male youth in the school uniform asked in a confused expression. Anyone could tell, it was no confusion but just an amusement.

His companion just answered him with disgust. "It's the bad egg again!"

John didn't even bother to react to the comments as he walked past his schoolmates without any expression. No matter which school he joined, vicious comments followed him like a magnet because of his background.

John had never complained this to his teachers as he believed justice would be always with the rich. No teacher would dare to offend a rich guy for an orphan and a poor kid like him. He had long given up on making friends. But he couldn't go on like that any longer, as he had to be the host of the system soon.

John tried his best to initiate a conversation with his male classmates from the morning but no one bothered to respond with more than two words- Fuck off, get lost, and stay away. He didn't get angry or irritated, just took it as some farts. He never would have bothered to care about those rich snobby bastards if not for the system.

You might be thinking, why not try some female classmates. Glad you asked. You are already aware of how John 'swindled' most of his female classmates. You must understand that in his school except him, almost all of them had a decent background. No female classmate would want to put John's name in her 'portfolio'.

Whether it's for friendship or love, no one wanted to associate themselves with john. Reputation was everything in the high-end communities. If a girl dared to ruin the family's reputation, the first thing that would happen to her was getting disowned or abandoned by the family.

For a rich girl who grew up with a golden spoon, getting disowned was worse than killing her. Hence, girls like Alisha decisively gave up on John after finding out about his social status. Even if they were beaten to death, a girl who dated him a day, wouldn't dare to tell anyone about the incident.

Otherwise, how could John wantonly swindle one after another rich girl? All they had to do was just ask someone they know whether she dated him or knew him. Alisha did that too but no one responded with a yes. So she simply believed that John was a nice guy with a poor background.

This loophole in the communication and reputation farce was fully utilized by John to the extreme to make quick money. If it was any other normal high school, he would have been long caught. One had to command John, in selecting the 'right' high school. He did a lot of research before settling on this one. He studied day and night to get into the scholarship program and finally made it to that high school.

John had succeeded in his perfect swindling acts without getting caught but unfortunately, all his money from that would be swallowed by the system if he didn't meet the requirements of the host within a week.

"Is this my retribution?" John was lamenting as he was slowly walking in a dejected manner on a random street after school.

"Zero progress today. Only six days left after today. Looks like I need to say goodbye to my savings." John started to slowly accept the fact that he was unable to complete the system's requirements.

"Just how did this damn system select me? Was it some mistake? I agree that I am not a gentleman but how does getting into love or making a friend relate to a gentleman?"

John couldn't get any heads or tails of the system's purpose. "Whatever it is, at the end of the day, it's scamming my lifetime fortune!"

"Hehe, gentleman's system? You are just scamming a harmless swindler! You should be named as a scamming system." John's voice became louder and louder as his anger flared up.

Many passerby people were frightened by the sudden commotion and took a U-turn from John's direction. Some of them even mocked him openly as a madman. But in all those commotions no one noticed a young gorgeous girl who seemed out of this world.

Everything she wore or carried were branded materials. When she heard the commotion, she was just on her way to look for her car after her shopping spree. Her ears automatically filtered everything except two words. Her body suddenly froze as if she was electrocuted.

"Gentleman's system! Finally, you appeared again after 20 years. This time I will crack you no matter what." The gorgeous girl swore in her heart with a strong determination. She seemed as if it was not her first time dealing with the gentleman's system.

She quickly scanned the area and located the source of the sound.

"Isn't it our class uniform? Is he a student there? But why have I not seen him?" she started to scan John openly as if she wanted to see all his secrets.

John suddenly felt chills run down his spine. He felt a massive danger as if a hunter was targeting him. His intuition was developed after surviving more than 15 years in the slums. You don't have to travel to some forbidden area to experience life and death trials, a slum would equally do.

Just as John was looking around his eyes met the gorgeous girl. For the first time in his life, he couldn't take his eyes off a girl. He had no words to describe her beauty, all his vocabulary felt like a fart. He stood there like a statue, with his eyes glued at the girl's face.

Suddenly, onlookers also started to notice the girl. Regardless of the gender, everyone in the street looking at her froze like statues. Except for the horns of the vehicles on the road, there was pin-drop silence around the street.

The girl elegantly clapped her hand and a butler appeared in front of her with a luxurious car. She pointed towards John and said something only butler could hear, and then slowly got into her car.

Everyone around the street finally came out of their revere. Some guys still couldn't forget the image of the girl but their partners pinched them tightly to remind their presence. Scream after scream rang around the street as husbands' and boyfriends' shouts echoed across the street.

John also came back to his senses but before he could collect his thoughts, a butler dressed in a luxurious black and white suit was already standing in front of him. Butler gave a quick and graceful bow before telling calmly,

"Sir, madam has requested your presence. Please follow me."

John wanted to reject the request instinctively as he sensed extreme danger from the girl but he realized that he didn't have a choice after looking at the butler. The way butler was behaving as if he would not leave until he said 'yes'.

"Alright." John agreed after some hesitation.

Butler opened the passenger door for John when they came to the car. John could already smell the scent of fresh jasmine even before getting inside the car. His blood started to boil and his hormones started to take control of his body. If anyone else was in John's place, he would have simply pounced on the girl inside the car.

But John closed his eyes and managed to calm his emotions like a professional guy. He calmly sat inside the car, gazing forward without even looking at his side where the girl was observing his every little body language and expression.

Butler took the driver's seat and started the engine. John suddenly heard a clap beside him.

Clap, clap, clap…

"Not bad. It never ceases to amaze me. Its eye for people is spot on." The girl started to talk to herself as if she found a new amusing toy.

John finally couldn't help but ask "Miss…"

But before he could continue, the girl cut him off before saying, " You will know everything in a while. Let me introduce myself, probably you have heard about me in the school, Erika Cubin. You can just call me Erika from now on."

John suddenly realized that she was the number one beauty in the high school. She was very elusive in school with very few people ever seeing her face. Even he was unaware of how she looked. The only thing he knew was, she was the number one beauty in his school.

John silently cursed those rumors 'How is she be just the number one beauty in our high school, she is the top beauty in the entire country hands down.'

John realized she was waiting for his introduction. So he introduced himself as well "Well, I am John, you can just call me John. I don't have a surname."

Erika nodded, she didn't care about John's background.

But her next words turned John's world upside down "You will be living with me from now on. Tell my butler your address, he will pick up your stuff. Also, no need to bother about the school from now on. I will teach you everything you need to know."
