America's Greatest Villain: I Defeat Magic with Magic

On Saturday evening, Chen Yuan drove to the open-air parking lot of the Neptune's Trident Club in Long Beach.

Although today is supposed to be a private event for the USC School of Life Sciences, parking is still just as tight as last time.

He had just found an empty parking space when a piercing engine roar suddenly came from his side and rear.

A Porsche sports car brazenly crossed the double yellow lines and suddenly cut in from the side.

The other party clearly had no intention of respecting the order of arrival; they simply wanted to take over the parking space in the most brute force way, taking advantage of the car's high price and the fact that no one usually dared to touch it.

However, how could Chen Yuan possibly indulge the other party?

With the boost from the "Beginner Driving Proficiency" skill, he didn't hesitate to jerk the steering wheel and floor the accelerator.

The Corolla roared defiantly, its rear wheels scraping white smoke as it skidded across the asphalt. The car nearly brushed against the Porsche's front end, then executed a clean and precise drift into the parking space, wedging itself neatly in the center.

"Fuck! Don't you have eyes? What are you going to do if you hit my car?!"

The Porsche's window rolled down, and a burly white man leaned out and began hurling insults.

Chen Yuan opened the car door and immediately recognized the face.

This person is none other than Brad Seeley, the star quarterback and captain of the USC football team.

[Target: Brad Sealy, 21 years old, captain of the USC football team.]

[Recent criminal activity: Last night, he was caught by patrol officers for driving heavily under the influence of alcohol and speeding on Santa Monica Boulevard. His driver's license has been suspended for three months.]

Chen Yuan knew that when dealing with this kind of school bully, if you treat him with respect, he will take advantage of you even more.

Now that we have leverage over the other party, there's no need to be polite at all!

"Captain Brad, I heard you almost lost your license last night because of drunk driving, and you still dared to drive yourself today. Should I call the LAPD again for you?"

One sentence instantly turned Brad's anger into astonishment.

He never expected that the drunk driving scandal he had just spent a lot of money to suppress would be found out by this Asian kid in front of him!

If his drunk driving scandal is exposed, he will not only face the risk of going to jail, but the school board will also immediately strip him of his proud position as captain of the team.

To make matters worse, Chen Yuan's voice wasn't quiet, and two students nearby had already stopped and were looking at him with inquisitive eyes.

Brad could only glare at him fiercely, swallowing back the swear words that were about to come out.

Then he slammed his fist on the steering wheel and drove off in frustration.

Since the club had been booked out, Chen Yuan only needed to show his student ID to enter the venue smoothly.

A number of young men and women had already gathered around, and the lights, music, laughter, and smell of alcohol mingled together, making it look like an ordinary college party on the surface.

In the center of the hall stood a tall, red-haired girl, Jessica Lawrence, the cheerleader for the school's football team.

Wearing a well-tailored T-shirt and short skirt, she naturally became the focus of attention with her hot figure and beautiful face.

A group of students surrounded Jessica, and she seemed to have long been used to being the center of attention. She would occasionally turn her head to respond to the jokes of the people around her, and sometimes raise her hand to tuck her red hair behind her ear.

Her smile wasn't excessive, but it always made the person speaking to her feel that they had just received her special attention.

At that moment, a burly figure appeared in front of Jessica; it was Brad, the captain of the rugby team, who had followed Chen Yuan in.

Brad had originally been looking for an opportunity to get revenge on Chen Yuan, but after seeing Jessica, he immediately changed his target.

Seeing this, the boys who were originally surrounding Jessica tactfully moved aside.

After all, in everyone's eyes, the captain of the rugby team and the cheerleader should be a match made in heaven.

"Jessica, you look beautiful tonight."

Brad flashed what he considered his most charming smile.

Upon hearing this, Jessica simply looked up and smiled at him, her tone no different from how she addressed the others around her:

"Thank you, Brad. It's rare that you weren't late today."

Brad's smile froze slightly.

He had assumed that Jessica would at least behave differently from how she treated others once he appeared.

But now it seems that he, as the captain of the rugby team, is not anything special in the eyes of the other side.

Chen Yuan had no interest in this kind of campus socializing. As soon as he stood in front of the bar, a white boy in a shirt came over with a glass of wine.

"Hey, Chen!" the other person greeted excitedly. "I've heard everyone's saying you recently bought your own restaurant in the South District?"

"It's just a small restaurant, Kevin."

Chen Yuan had a fairly good impression of this somewhat outgoing classmate.

Although this person is somewhat bookish, he is straightforward and well-informed.

"Good heavens, the whole school has been talking about that mysterious Chinese restaurant these past few days! How did you manage to get it selected as a pilot project for school cooperation?"

Before Chen Yuan could answer, Kevin leaned closer and lowered his voice:

"Are you short-staffed at your store? If possible, I'd like to work there to earn some pocket money."

Just as Chen Yuan was about to give a few perfunctory replies, a sweet, cloying perfume scent suddenly wafted into the air.

Then a petite and adorable figure floated over.

"Chen Yuan, it's been a long time!"

The person who came was named Mina Hoshino, a popular Japanese girl in the Faculty of Life Sciences.

Tonight, she wore a neatly ironed light-colored shirt, a dark blazer, and a pleated skirt of just the right length. She looked clean, sweet, and had a soft quality that easily aroused a man's protective instincts.

On the American University campus, this "JK" style of dress is already eye-catching enough.

Mina Hoshino clearly understands what kind of person she is that would make people willingly stop and stay.

She tilted her head slightly, her smile so gentle it was almost flawless.

"The holiday is almost over. How's your major coursework going? If there's anything you don't understand, we can find a quiet place to discuss it together."

Mina Hoshino has a pure and lovely appearance, a charming smile, and her looks are very much in line with Asian aesthetics. Even Kevin, who is standing next to her, can't take his eyes off her.

But Chen Yuan wasn't very interested in Japanese girls, and simply shook his head, saying:

"Sorry. I've been busy preparing for the restaurant's opening during the holiday, and I haven't even started my coursework yet."

Upon hearing this, Mina Hoshino's previously enthusiastic face immediately showed obvious disappointment.

She originally thought that Chen Yuan, an Asian academic star who used to spend every day in the library and was quite well-known in his field, would be somewhat flattered by her gesture of goodwill.

In this way, the holiday homework that I had not yet finished could be perfectly written by someone else.

But at this moment, the way Chen Yuan looked at her seemed no different from how he looked at an empty wine glass on the bar.

This feeling of being completely ignored instantly stirred up a strong sense of resentment in her heart.

At the same time, a red information panel silently popped up above her head:

[Target: Mina Hoshino, 21 years old, international student at the USC School of Life Sciences.]

[Recent misconduct: As the external relations officer for the new semester reunion, in order to ensure that she was the only Asian woman in her major to attend, she deliberately did not send invitations to two Korean female students in the same major, causing them to miss the reunion.]

Who would have thought that this seemingly sweet and cute Japanese girl was actually a scheming woman!
