Kunal woke up the following morning feeling rejuvenated, sensing a surge of new energy and strength flowing through his body courtesy of the system. Checking his smartphone, he saw the bank notification confirming that ₹50,00,000 (Fifty Lakh Rupees) had been credited to his personal legal account as cashback from yesterday’s shopping spree.
Simultaneously, his holographic system interface displayed the main balance, still gleaming with an astronomical figure: [Total System Balance: 1,000 Trillion Rupees].
Just then, his phone rang. It was an unknown number, but upon answering, it turned out to be the College Registrar. The man’s voice was dripping with nervousness and sycophancy.
> Registrar (Mr. Verma): "H-hello! Is this... is this Kunal Bhoj?"
> Kunal (calmly, with a commanding tone): "Yes, this is Kunal speaking. Who is this?"
> Registrar: "Kunal! Dear boy, it’s Verma from the college administration. We... we had an urgent management meeting this morning. Everyone is deeply concerned about yesterday’s incident. The Director and the entire board would like to formally invite you to campus today. We want to offer our sincerest apologies and perhaps... host a special felicitation ceremony to honor your success?"
>
Kunal smirked, looking out his window at the city skyline. Just yesterday, they had expelled him for being poor. Today, they were practically begging for his attention because of his wealth.
> Kunal: "A felicitation ceremony? Very well, Mr. Verma. I’ll be there. Expect me in thirty minutes."
>
Thirty minutes later, the atmosphere outside the main college gates was electric. It was the exact spot where Kunal had suffered public humiliation and been shoved into the mud just the day before. Today, a massive crowd of students had gathered, buzzing with anticipation.
A sleek, ultra-luxury black Rolls-Royce pulled up to the curb. The rear door opened, and Kunal stepped out. He was dressed in a perfectly tailored premium designer suit, his hair styled sharply, and his eyes radiated an aura of supreme confidence and power that made the crowd gasp.
Murmurs swept through the students:
> "Is... is that Kunal? The poor kid who used to carry Neha's bags?"
> "Are you blind? Look at that car! Look at that suit! That’s Kunal Bhoj, the billionaire!"
>
As Kunal walked toward the entrance, the College Principal and senior management staff rushed forward, almost tripping over themselves to greet him. Their faces were a mix of fear and obsequious smiles.
> Principal (bowing slightly): "Welcome back, Kunal! We are so honored to have you here. Please, right this way."
> Kunal (cutting him off with an icy gaze): "Save the pleasantries, Principal. Yesterday, this gate was slammed in my face by your orders. Today, you roll out the red carpet? It’s amazing what a few zeros in a bank account can do to people's principles, isn't it?"
>
The Principal recoiled, unable to meet Kunal's eyes.
As Kunal entered the main courtyard, his eyes locked onto Neha and Rahul standing together near the café entrance. The color had completely drained from Neha's face; she looked shell-shocked. The adoration the crowd now showed Kunal was a direct assault on her fragile ego.
Kunal walked straight toward them. Neha’s legs trembled. She mustered the courage to speak, her voice shaky:
> Neha: "K-Kunal! What... what is all this? Is this some kind of joke? Where did you get... get all this money and that car? Did you... did you steal something?"
>
Kunal stopped, towering over her. A dangerous, cold smile played on his lips. He looked deep into her eyes and replied with a chilling, deadly calm:
> Kunal: "Steal? Neha, theft is for those who lack the means to acquire what they want legitimately. As for where the money came from... people like you only understand the value of money when you have none. But I have so much that even if your entire bloodline worked for generations, they couldn't spend a fraction of it."
>
Enraged by Kunal’s arrogance, Rahul stepped forward aggressively, raising his fist.
> Rahul: "You ungrateful piece of trash! Who do you think you are talking to my—"
>
Before Rahul’s fist could even move an inch, Kunal reacted with the enhanced physical strength granted by the system. With lightning speed, Kunal shot his hand out and caught Rahul’s wrist mid-air, gripping it with bone-crushing force. Rahul let out a sharp cry of pain.
> Kunal (staring directly into Rahul's terrified eyes): "Yesterday, you called me a street dog and a beggar. Today, you need to remember your own place, Rahul. This is only the beginning. I’m just getting started on breaking your family’s precious pride."
>
Kunal shoved Rahul’s hand away violently, causing him to stumble back into Neha. The entire courtyard fell into a deafening silence. Kunal turned, walked back to his Rolls-Royce, and the chauffeur closed the door as he drove away, leaving Neha in tears and Rahul in agonizing shock.
After his power display at the college, Kunal was chauffeured to the heart of the city’s bustling Financial District. Inside the luxurious interior of the Rolls-Royce, he reviewed his system interface.
> [System Notification: Influence and Power Display in the college sector successful!]
> [Cashback and Reward Update: Total System Balance remains secure at '1,000 Trillion Rupees'.]
> [New Mission Unlocked: 'Corporate Supremacy' - Challenge the city's top business conglomerate and expand your empire by investing in women-led enterprises.]
>
Kunal closed the interface with a confident, satisfied smile. He knew that frightening college kids was merely child's play. True revenge meant dismantling the wealth and power of the titans who backed people like Rahul and Neha.
His car slowed to a halt in front of a massive, gleaming glass tower that dominated the skyline. The building belonged to 'Verma Corporation'—the vast conglomerate owned by Rahul's father, Sanjeev Verma.
Kunal stepped out, adjusted his suit jacket, and walked straight into the grand lobby. The female receptionist at the front desk immediately stood up to intercept him.
> Receptionist: "Excuse me, sir! You cannot enter without an appointment. Do you have a prior meeting scheduled?"
>
Kunal reached into his pocket, pulled out the heavy, pitch-black 'Metallic Black Card'—the mark of an elite global billionaire—and placed it gently on the polished marble counter. His voice was low, smooth, but carried an undeniable weight that demanded obedience.
> Kunal: "Go upstairs and tell your CEO, Sanjeev Verma, that Kunal Bhoj is here to acquire a 51% controlling stake in this company. If he isn't down here in two minutes, I will buy the entire building and have him evicted personally."
>
The receptionist picked up the black card with trembling hands, observing the unique bank authentication light blinking on it. Her eyes went wide with panic as she reached for the internal phone line.
Almost instantly, the penthouse elevator doors opened, and Sanjeev Verma rushed out personally, looking disheveled and panicked. He had been alerted seconds ago by his private bankers that an unknown entity had just begun a hostile takeover, buying up massive amounts of Verma Corporation stock on the open market.
Sanjeev spotted Kunal standing confidently at the reception desk and froze. He recognized the young man from the photos his son, Rahul, had tearfully shown him the previous night.
> Sanjeev Verma (stumbling slightly as he approached): "K... Kunal Ji? Y-you... you are here?"
>
Kunal slid his black card back into his pocket, looking straight into Sanjeev’s eyes with a cold, merciless expression.
> Kunal: "You guessed correctly, Sanjeev. Yesterday, your son asked me about my financial status. Today, I have arrived to purchase the entirety of your family's corporate status. Tell me, Sanjeev... how much is your entire business empire worth?"
>
The entire lobby fell into a deadly hush. The ground beneath Sanjeev Verma’s feet had crumbled, and he knew the destruction of his family’s legacy had just begun.
