Chapter 1: I Can See the Desire List of Others!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Late at night, New York.

This was a city that never sleeps.

New York was a paradise for the rich, but also a hell for the poor.

In a dark alley, a flame appeared in the darkness at the flicking sound of a cigarette lighter. Six figures appeared, five standing and one squatting.

Squatting on the steps was a young man. At this moment, he took a deep breath with a cigarette in his mouth. The light from the flame reflected his well-defined face, making him look very handsome.

Phew!”

“Have you collected all the money?”

Smoke began to spread in the dark street instantly.

The person squatting on the steps was called Kota, a student who was about to graduate from Columbia University.

He was also a low-level leader of the Hoskins clan.

The Hoskins were a small mafia organization with 32 members in Chanel Street, New York.

Kota had gotten into trouble at a bar six months ago, and it was the Hoskins who helped him settle it. So he joined the organization.

In less than half a year, Kota had become a low-level leader with five subordinates under his command.

Now, Kota was collecting protection fees from his subordinates.

They had collected 6,000 dollars from three bars on Lolita Street.

After counting the money, the others dispersed.

Two minutes later, Kota frowned.

“Recently, the protection fees are getting less and less. The Hoskins are on the verge of being annexed by other underworld groups. Perhaps it won’t be long before the Hoskins will vanish from the world.”

Kota flicked the cigarette butt with a cold expression. He stood up straight and walked towards the exit of the street.

…

“Kota? It’s so late. Haven’t you gone back yet?”

A pleasant voice came from behind as Kota was waiting for the bus at the end of the street with a cold expression. 

He broke out in a warm smile the moment he turned his head.

A sexy girl walked over. She was wearing a tight-fitting t-shirt. Her snow-white, straight legs were mesmerizing, and a pair of jeans accentuated her beautiful figure.

“Good evening, Taylor.”

Taylor, Kota’s junior, was also from Columbia University.

He came out so late to deal with the gang matters, which was the protection fees matter as he was busy with his graduation recently.

But Taylor was only a third-year university student. What was she doing here in the street so late at night?

Moreover, this place was quite a distance from the campus.

Kota remembered it; according to the rumors in the campus, Taylor’s private life was profligate. She was often seen leaving the campus on Saturday night on foot, and a luxury car waiting in the alley next to the campus would drive her away.

As for whether Taylor was a promiscuous woman, or a mistress of a group of old men, Kota couldn’t care less.

It was just that, after spending six months in the mafia organization, Kota had learned to keep a double face.

So, upon seeing a beauty came up to him, Kota had no reason not to keep smiling.

In fact, Kota and Taylor were just acquaintances.

They knew little about each other.

Because Kota was one of the few handsome guys in the campus, and he was warm in personality, people found him very easy to get along with, and so, he was very popular among the female juniors.

On the other hand, Taylor was known on the campus for her beauty. She had countless suitors, but she was not seen to have been in any stable relationship.

So, the two of them knew about each other by virtue of their popularity.

“Kota, where are you going?”

“Tangning Street. I live there.”

“Really? I live near there too. Can you send me home since we are going to the same place?”

“Of course.”

Just then, a taxi stopped in front of them.

Kota gave out the address as the two of them boarded the taxi.

The driver stepped on the accelerator and off they went.

“Thank you. I was just thinking that it was not safe for a girl to take a cab alone at this hour.”

Taylor gave Kota a charming smile before turning to look outside.

Although the two of them were only studying in the same university, they were not close. Even today, it was only the third time they had spoken to each other. They had only exchanged pleasantries when they bumped into each other previously.

Therefore, Kota did not feel like talking. He was just thinking of sending her home.

The silence in the cabin became awkward gradually.

The driver drove in silence, and there was no radio or music playing, which worsened the awkward atmosphere.

Apparently, Taylor wanted to strike a conversation with him, but she did not know what to say for a moment.

Just as Kota turned his head, looking at Taylor and was about to say something, a strange interface popped up in his mind.

It was like a character’s status bar in a video game.

“Is this an illusion?”

Kota was very shocked, but the interface did not show he was hallucinating.

Kota’s eyes focused his eyes, but the things in front of him remained. He looked at the driver’s face in the rearview mirror, and a new popup appeared.

This time, Kota finally figured it out.

He must have awakened a superpower, although he was not so sure.

In his eyes.

Kota was shocked after reading the list.

There were 20 of them!

Each of them was Taylor’s desire.

“Could it be…”

“I can see other people’s desire lists?”
