-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since that day when Yeji's broadcast sent the entire AmericaTV platform into a frenzy,

Coin King had become the talk of the town.

Naturally, the managers from other female cam rooms and the Excel plate managers couldn't just leave him be.

The moment they spotted Coin King's nickname, they unleashed dozens of DMs and whispers without even catching their breath.

"President Coin King! This is Min So-mi's room!

Reactions all prepped for today! Please drop by once!"

"President, just join as a fan in Min So-mi's room and you'll get full reactions!"

Even the managers from the major female cam Min So-mi stooped to the low of sending whispers right in the middle of her broadcast.

Jin-seong was seething at their antics.

In the end, he headed straight to Min So-mi's room.

Min So-mi was one of the female cams boasting overwhelming popularity on AmericaTV with her flashy looks and voluptuous figure.

Conducting her stream with long straight hair and heavy makeup, her face lit up the instant the alert rang out.

"Wow~ Coin King! Welcome~ Thank you so much!"

The viewers erupted in cheers.

But the joy didn't last.

Coin King's message popped up in the chat immediately after.

The chat froze in an instant.

Min So-mi's expression hardened just as quickly.

Flustered, she tried to smooth things over with an awkward laugh.

"Ah... really? Sorry about that, Coin King!

I'll give my managers a stern warning.

Cheer up, and thanks so much for the 10k!"

But the damage was already done.

Coin King said nothing more and left coolly.

A user who clipped the whole scene posted it straight to the community.

The post shot straight to popular and exploded with reactions.

The comments were filled with laughter.

On AmericaTV's community boards,

Coin King's appearance sparked massive buzz with terms like "justice served" and "public execution,"

and Min So-mi ended up enduring embarrassment throughout her entire stream without meaning to.

In contrast, Coin King further cemented his status as a "named big spender" among the platform's countless viewers.

The moment the broadcast ended, she killed the camera.

Normally, she'd flash a bright smile till the very end and wave goodbye to her fans,

but today, she just couldn't muster it.

"Fuck, I'm so goddamn pissed!"

I shot up from my chair, yelling.

Recalling what that Coin King bastard had just done made my blood boil all over again.

"Thinks he's hot shit just 'cause he's got money and drops big gifts? Can he really humiliate me like this? What's with that cocky attitude?"

I paced alone, lighting up a cigarette and chain-smoking.

My anger wouldn't subside.

Thinking of the viewers watching my face sour in real-time online only fueled the rage more.

"Fuck. Probably already clipped and humiliating me all over America community.

Why the hell did he have to pick my room!"

I flopped onto the bed.

Staring at the ceiling, thoughts of Coin King and his main squeeze Yeji flooded back.

"What, Yeji or whatever? How the hell am I worse than her? Her face was meh, tits tiny as fuck. Loli fetish or some shit?

All rich guys got weird tastes?"

My pissed-off mood dragged her into it too.

Anyway, feeling compared to her because of this made me even moodier.

I sighed and crossed my arms on the bed.

I couldn't just take this lying down.

"Ugh, gotta get revenge...

But how the fuck do I screw that bastard over?"

I racked my brain.

With no clue who this Coin King guy even was, revenge felt impossible.

But I wasn't letting it slide.

I had to find a way to fuck him up bad to cool off.

"Just you wait. Won't let this humiliation go easy.

I'll get my revenge somehow."

I grumbled to the ceiling like that.

The heat wouldn't fade, and it kept me tossing all night.

Unlike the others, the Excel plate manager stayed cool and collected.

He knew all too well that big spenders demanded extra caution.

In Excel plate, where everything hinged on gift power to stroke egos, one slip-up that irked a whale was suicide.

He'd sent just one polite DM, but got no reply.

No plans to spam or whisper and piss him off.

His boss, the star streamer of the Excel broadcast Kwon Woo-sang, Kim Kwon-woo, thought the same.

They knew how to handle whales.

"Bro, no reply from Coin King."

The manager reported cautiously, but Kim Kwon-woo looked unfazed, face calm.

"Yeah? Happens.

Stick to our style.

No need to chase that guy."

Kim Kwon-woo continued flatly.

"But Coin King only watches that Yeji female cam room, right?"

"Yes, bro. He's made it his main base now.

Ignores everywhere else completely."

Kim Kwon-woo pondered briefly, then smirked faintly.

"Then forget pulling the whale direct—poach Yeji, and Coin King follows.

No way a rich guy lets his girl jump to our stream."

The manager nodded.

As expected of an Excel plate powerhouse, Kim Kwon-woo's instincts were sharp.

Stealing a streamer was simpler and more effective than recruiting whales.

"Got it, bro. I'll handle Yeji recruitment."

Kim Kwon-woo nodded in satisfaction.

AmericaTV's Excel plate was pure gift warfare.

Whales here dumped insane cash to flex pride,

and streamers rode that wave to career highs.

Top Excel female cams could rake tens of millions a day.

Kim Kwon-woo had seen plenty of whales crash after losing gift wars.

He knew exactly how much power one streamer held.

Their target: Yeji.

Still a low-tier female cam, but she'd blown up AmericaTV with the Coin King drama lately.

With the right push, she could level up to big leagues.

One wildcard, though.

Coin King himself.

Unknown gift depth, but he showered tens of millions in balloons without blinking.

No chance he'd sit idle while his pet streamer got poached.

But Kim Kwon-woo wasn't scared of a gift showdown.

He had multiple whales in his pocket.

Another massive Excel gift war loomed.

All that remained: Yeji's choice and Coin King's reaction.

After her broadcast wrapped, Yeji shut down her PC

and picked up her smartphone.

Checking fan DMs as usual, one from an unfamiliar nick caught her eye.

Kwon Woo-sang was one of AmericaTV's top Excel broadcasts.

Yeji's heart started pounding.

Getting the DM for real was surprising and thrilling.

But doubt crept in: was she really Excel plate material?

After some hesitation, she saved the number and dialed.

It connected after a few rings.

"Hello?"

The voice was smooth and gentle, welcoming her.

"Hi? This is Yeji. Calling about your DM."

The guy responded warmly.

"Ah~ Yeji! Nice to meet you. Thanks for reaching out.

We're recruiting new female cams at Kwon Woo-sang,

and we really want to bring you on board."

Yeji paused, then replied carefully.

"Oh... I know Excel streams well, but honestly, my gift game isn't that strong.

Right now, it's just Coin King president in my room.

No other mid-spenders or anything... Worried I'd flop and be a burden."

The manager chuckled understandingly, voice warm.

"Yeah, totally fair worry.

But we noticed you 'cause you're the hot topic lately, with that unique vibe and charm.

One appearance on our Excel plate could skyrocket your fame,

and we need fresh faces.

Plus, your president's Coin King, right?

He's blowing up as a named whale these days—

if we ask him and he greenlights it, it'd be perfect."

The manager spoke softly, persuasively.

Yeji fell into thought.

This wasn't a snap decision.

One stream could mean big bucks,

but if Coin King bailed, she'd crash hard.

She proceeded cautiously.

"Hmm... I think I need to talk it over with President first.

Can't decide solo,

and no clue how he'll feel.

Can you wait a bit?"

The manager replied brightly.

"Of course, no rush.

Chat it out casually and hit me up anytime.

We'll be waiting for good news.

Thanks for calling."

After hanging up, Yeji let out a sigh.

She'd just gone full-time streaming not long ago,

and this sudden offer threw her for a loop.

Thinking of contacting Coin King made her chest tighten.

'Will Coin King oppa okay me on Excel? Or straight-up veto?'

Yeji agonized and collapsed onto her bed.

What mattered now wasn't quick gift cash,

but the rock-solid whale named Coin King.

Losing him would ruin everything.

After agonizing forever, Yeji finally grabbed her phone

and dialed Coin King.

Her heart raced.

Everything hinged on his call now.
