From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 453 The outside world is very dangerous for superhumans
When Lana returned to the classroom with her doubts, some well-informed classmates had already found out the news and learned the whole story.

However, this fact shocked all the students.

It turns out that the fruit phone, which has shaken up the entire market and revolutionized communication methods in the past six months, was Whitney's masterpiece. It was with this achievement that Whitney acquired shares in the fruit phone company under the Umbrella Corporation, turning him from an ordinary small-town boy into a billionaire.

Although it's unknown how many shares he acquired, the valuation of the soon-to-be-listed Apple mobile phone company is already as high as 20 billion. Even if he only acquired one percent, that's still 200 million!

Two small goals around the year 2000, still related to swordsmanship and music—this kind of impact is not something a middle school student can handle.

Similarly, the revolutionary nature of the iPhone and Whitney's legendary upbringing naturally attracted the attention of the media, which led to the situation where reporters blocked the school gates.

Although she was equally shocked, Lana breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it wasn't Whitney's ability that had been revealed. However, her thoughts soon became complicated again.

Sith warriors...

Billionaires...

Superpowers...

Secret organizations...

……

She felt as if she had been cut off from her previous life since yesterday's events, and for a moment, she was lost and confused again.

Meanwhile, in the principal's office, Whitney met with Mr. Allie, the principal of Smallwell High School. They had a friendly conversation, with Mr. Allie first offering his best wishes to Whitney. Whitney thanked him for his help at Smallwell High School over the years and discussed her future with him in depth, accepting the principal's advice. At the end of the meeting, Mr. Whitney stated that his achievements were largely due to the school's education. Therefore, to express his gratitude, he would donate a library to the school and sponsor the school's football team, providing them with a dedicated training facility and equipment. The principal gladly accepted and praised Whitney's decision…

"It's nothing, you don't need to be nervous."

Whitney didn't go to the classroom all day; he didn't want to be surrounded by a group of classmates. He just waited in a quiet area of ​​the school until the first class ended, then grabbed Lana and rushed out of the school at top speed, leaving in a hurry.

In the car, looking at Lana who was still somewhat dazed, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, even the Highlanders need to live and need to eat. In this respect, they are no different from ordinary people. As for the Sith Council, the so-called secret organization is also made up of people. Don't think that the members of the secret organization are like rats crawling into the sewers. In fact, everyone has their own identity and profession. They only come together when needed. In the end, they are all human beings, just with more power than ordinary people and need to live more cautiously."

"A more cautious life?" Lana looked up, puzzled.

Whitney took out a box she had prepared beforehand and placed it in Lana's hands. Lana looked at it and saw that it was the hottest product on the market in the past few months: the Apple iPhone.

"Look at this. This is the test Winston gave me, and I passed it smoothly. This is also the consistent practice of the Sith Council. In order to live more cautiously and avoid frequently using their abilities in daily life, exposing themselves and causing unnecessary panic, every Highlander needs to have a certain amount of wealth. After all, in this world, money can solve 99% of problems and also avoid 99% of them." "For example, I'm just a young man from a small town. My family's small farm still has a loan that I can't afford. When I don't have power, I can only slowly endure it. But if I had power, would I take risks and use my power to acquire wealth?"

“To prevent such behavior, there is a mysterious connection between the bloodlines of the Highlanders. Every awakened Highlander is guided by the Sith Council. The Council will send a mentor to teach the new Highlander how to become familiar with and use their powers, understand the Force, and at the same time, solve their life problems. Mr. Winston is now my mentor, verifying my bloodline and powers. This thing is his test for me…”

"After awakening my bloodline, in addition to my strength, my brain also evolved, turning me from an ordinary person into a genius. This thing is the result of my efforts over the past six months. It has gained Winston's approval, so he helped me launch this thing on the market to accumulate wealth and prevent me from going astray in the future due to a lack of wealth."

Lana looked at the iPhone in her hand, lost in thought. "So, what is the purpose of establishing this council?"

"There's no particular purpose. Firstly, it's to protect our people; secondly, it's to live a good life. That's all. There's no grand ambition, no conspiracy," Whitney said with a smile. "It's really just a circle of people sticking together for mutual support. As for extraordinary power..."

Whitney paused slightly before continuing, “Extraordinary powers are not uncommon in this world. Magic, superpowers, witchcraft—you saw them yesterday—as well as cyborgs created through genetic modification, and demons hidden among humans…”

At this point, a wry smile appeared on his face. "God knows how surprised I was when Mr. Winston told me this, but it's true, and some of them may even be people you and I know."

Lana finally looked up. "Someone we both know?"

“Are you surprised? I was surprised at first too, but think about Zoe, and then look at me. The proportion may not be large, but it's not something that ordinary people can't encounter,” Whitney said. “So, after the initial surprise, just slowly accept reality. This is the reality of the world.”

"Are demons really, really possible?"

“Witches have appeared, don’t you think?” Whitney said. “This world is actually very dangerous, but we’ve been stuck in this small town and haven’t realized it.”

"Then... will you stay in town in the future?" Lana asked hesitantly.

After all, Whitney is not the same person he was a day ago. A day ago, he was just an ordinary young man from a small town, but now he is a superhuman with enormous wealth.

“I won’t leave,” Whitney said with a smile. “Smolwell is a great place. I like it here. I will stay here, not only myself, but also the Umbrella Corporation. We will invest here. The outside world is wonderful, as Mr. Winston said. The outside world is very wonderful, but also very dangerous, especially for us superhumans. We will encounter many unexpected dangers. So, I will not leave here until I become a qualified Sith Master.”

Will you be attending the welcome party tonight?

“Of course not, I have a lot of homework to do tonight,” Whitney said with a wry smile. “Mr. Winston has given me a lot of assignments.”
