Lord Evolution: Starting With SS-rank Skills

Roberto Starz, an actor who had landed a lead role in a movie, had garnered a lot of attention from the female folk who fell in love with him for his looks, overlooking his poor acting skills.

The young actor quickly became a sensation among the ladies, and even his social media following shot up by millions in just a few weeks.

There were even rumors that he would be starring in a new romantic movie set to be released during the winter, and his fans could not stop talking about it.

Even at his workplace, D'andre grew tired of his female coworkers constantly discussing the handsome young actor.

And now he was sitting right in front of him.

"I am talking to you." Roberto stepped forward, moving closer, ready to start a fight.

Beside him, Cecilia, who had frozen for a few seconds, broke out of her shock and quickly rushed to hold Roberto back from hitting D'andre.

"Darlin', he's the poor ex I told you about," she said, wrapping her arms around his waist to stop his movement.

Hearing her words, the grin on D'andre's face did not disappear, he had already played out how this moment would go in his head.

Roberto, on the other hand, wore a smug smirk as he looked at D'andre up and down with arrogance.

"So, you're the D'andre she mentioned—the poor guy who couldn't even afford the cheapest designer bag," he said.

Then he turned to Cecilia, grabbed her waist, and pulled her closer as she let out a small giggle.

"Your girlfriend is mine now," he said.

"Very soon, I'll land her a role in a good movie, and she'll shoot up to fame, leaving you far behind," he continued.

"How will you feel watching her on screen, probably making out with a handsome actor like me?" he asked.

His words were aimed to break the spirit and confidence of the young man sitting calmly in front of him.

He wanted to see D'andre react with anger, just like the boyfriends of the other women he had stolen before.

But D'andre remained seated in a relaxed manner.

He didn't even pay attention to Roberto, as his gaze was fixed solely on Cecilia.

"Cecilia, I'm really disappointed in you," he said in a calm tone.

Both Roberto and Cecilia were dumbfounded.

Cecilia was even hurt and triggered by his calm words.

"What do you mean, 'disappointed'? I'm in a better place now than I ever was with you. You were saving for a mere designer bag, while Roberto has already gifted me three expensive bags in the few months we've been together," she bragged.

"So you're only dating him for money then? What's the difference between you and those roadside whores?"

This time, his words completely triggered her.

She broke away from Roberto's embrace and stomped toward the nonchalant D'andre.

"Who are you calling a whore?" she snapped.

"There's no other woman in the room, so yes, you. Is that too hard to get through your stinking brain?"

"You—!" She was enraged.

"You heard what Roberto said. He'll soon recommend me for a good movie role. I'll become a superstar. Tell me, can whores become superstars?"

"You'd be shocked at how many whores are in the movie industry. You'll just be another cheap addition to the list."

Her fury reached its limit and she lifted her hand, ready to slap him.

But D'andre only raised an eyebrow, as if daring her to go through with it.

Seeing his nonchalant reaction, she lowered her hand, gritting her teeth in frustration.

"That's what I thought," D'andre scoffed.

He tossed the flower onto the ground and stood up.

"And I'm actually sorry for how dumb you are, thinking a handsome, trash-grade actor like this monkey can get you into the acting world," he said.

"What did you just say?" It was Roberto's turn to react.

He stepped closer, his tone sharp. "Say that again to my face."

But before he could continue, the entertainment news segment suddenly came on the TV.

"A popular rising star actor is currently being investigated for his disgusting sexual relationships, which are slowly ruining Hollywood's image."

Roberto and Cecilia both turned toward the screen.

When they spotted the picture being displayed, their eyes widened.

"W-what?" Roberto stammered. "Which channel is this? How dare they spread such news about me?"

"Darlin', why are they saying something like this?" Cecilia asked nervously.

Roberto ignored her and pulled out his phone.

As the two panicked, D'andre strolled to the refrigerator and casually grabbed a can of soda.

Meanwhile, Roberto hurriedly called his manager.

"Manager Han, have you seen the news?" he asked, panicked.

The angry voice of his manager barked through the speaker.

"How dare you? After everything the agency has done for you, you went ahead and ruined our image by being such a disgusting fool!"

"The boss has decided to end our contract. Your role in Glowing Hearts has been canceled!"

As the furious voice raged on, both Roberto and Cecilia's faces crumbled, especially Cecilia's.

With Roberto now falling into disgrace, her dream of using him to enter the movie industry would collapse along with him.

She even thought about cutting ties with him right there and pursuing her dream alone.

But the manager's next words shattered that idea completely.

"We also found out you've been using your undeserved fame to recommend young ladies to producers. Well, guess what? All their roles have been revoked, and every single one of them is banned from acting! Don't ever dare to call this number again, you miserable bastard."

The call ended, and silence filled the room.

Cecilia's eyes widened.

'He hasn't recommended me yet… right?'

"Roberto, darlin', you haven't recommended me to anyone yet, right…?" she asked shakily.

"Right?" she repeated again.

But Roberto stood frozen, the phone still pressed to his ear even though the line was already dead.

"Of course he has recommended you already," D'andre said casually.

"How do you know…?" Cecilia snapped, gritting her teeth.

"Dumbass, look at the TV."

And she did.

Her body weakened instantly, and she collapsed to her knees.

Because what she saw on the screen destroyed her completely.

The news displayed pictures of all the young actresses Roberto had recommended and right in the middle was her face.

Her life was over.

But this was only the first phase of D'andre and Rowan's planned revenge
