Jed was startled awake. His gasp aroused attention from Ben and Eric. They exchanged a look and directed their gazes to him.Ever since Jed got back to class, they could feel something was bothering him. But they expected him to open up to them yet he didn't say a word."Dude, what's wrong with you?" Eric asked as he submitted their notes to the H.O.C for the lecturer's assessment. Jed didn't hear the question because he was lost in thoughts. Brother? Why would that strange, young girl address him as brother?Who was she and what sort of a dream was that?He really felt frustrated. There were so many mysteries he wanted to solve but had no solution to."Jed," Ben shook him, snapping him back to reality."Huh?" He looked at them absentmindedly, confirming he didn't even hear Eric's words.Ben shook his head. "What's wrong with you?"Jed leaned in and explained everything he had learnt at the Jetti's headquarters to them in a hushed tone.If Eric was speechless then Ben was shocked. "W

Other CEOs mumbled amongst themselves, seeing that the chairman's expression was not pleasant."Forget about it," Chairman Luther waved his hands. "Since the Ceo of Meta inc doesn't want to join our association, we'll just have to make an enemy out of him."The CEOs were startled at this. Actually, they are just a group of CEOs leading great companies and are affiliated with the Luther Group of companies.Originally, Jetti's were the top but after the crisis they faced, they have recently declined. Naturally, Luther is supposed to take over.But with Meta Inc. doing so well after trampling on the Jetti's, that wasn't so possible and Luther's could only maintain the second position for now.At first, Chairman Luther thought if he were to collaborate with Meta, it would be a beneficial cooperation to them but since Meta inc has been so rude and not able to show some respect, he wouldn't hesitate to treat them like the rival they are!"Who does that old man of Meta think he is? He only j

"Can't you just keep it low and let the serious one here study?" He groaned, covering his face with the opened textbook in his hand."Eric, you are well aware news spread out on the school discussion forum yesterday that the tests that were supposed to carry on for five days will only be conducted within three days. Why are you not worried?"Eric smirked with a weird 'I am cool' smile, "Geniuses like us don't worry about short time spans.""Pfft!" Jed spat out the water in his mouth struggling to hold in his laughter.Ben didn't find this funny. He only gave Eric a cold look."Your game tournament starts Friday and ends Sunday right? That means we don't even get any time to rest as we have to leave Philadelphia the next day after the test is over. Shouldn't you act more serious?""Quit being bossy," Eric frowned. He knew he couldn't afford to slack having to deal with tests then the game tournament right after but the news—"Just look at this and you'll understand it's worth it," He h

The tied up man shivered, noticing the cold gaze the masked man was giving him while waiting for an example."Will you talk or I have to crack your head open and get the answers from you?" A bodyguard threatened menacingly.The man swallowed and lowered his gaze. After some minutes, he looked up and stubbornly insisted, "I don't know what you are talking about. I'm just a poor mechanic. How can I possess millions of dollars in my account to purchase those properties?"Jed was irked. Was this man stupid or just wanted to sacrifice himself? Is this amount enough for his silence?Jed didn't need to deal with him because one of his bodyguards stepped out and looked at the man who shrunk fearfully."Have you forgotten where we found you? You were at the casino surrounded by plenty of beauties with disgusting men trying to fawn up to you. It seems we have to reset your memory."The next moment, cries of 'ah' filled the room. The man cried out in pain as the hot metal sunk into his flesh. He

At exactly 9: 20pm the next day, the boys walked out of Dubai International Airport having gone through all the security and personnel check-up.Some officials from the tournament were waiting at the airport to welcome the gamers. Although the boys had traveled for almost twenty hours as they had to make a stop at London since there was no direct flight between Philadelphia and Dubai, there was no sign of fatigue on their faces.This could be the privilege gotten from traveling first class."As-salam alaykum," Some of the officials waiting to receive Eric greeted them with folded hands. The boys except Jed didn't know what to do or say so they just folded their hands in return and nodded awkwardly.Only Jed answered, "Wa ʿalaykum s-salam."Eric and Ben looked at him startled, not understanding a single word he said. But the officials were pleased to see that a foreigner was familiar with their greeting.Some handled the luggages and quickly left to attend to welcome other gamers tha
