“Joe Cole!” a very angry and disgusted Robert yelled, “Where the fuck are you?”Robert continued to bang on his door until he came out of his room.“Hey Robert, sorry I was asleep.”“How can your lazy, poor, and miserable ass be sleeping at this time of the day?” Robert answered in anger.“Come on, man. I was really—” Joe Cole tried to answer but was immediately interrupted by the now pissed-off Robert Brownstone.“And who the fuck do you think you’re talking to? Your homie?”“Robert, just calm—”“Do not dare tell me what to do, you miserable bastard. In fact, you’ll be walking to school today since your sorry ass forgot to wash my car this morning.”It suddenly dawned on Joe Cole why the Crown Prince of Denmark was mad at him. Joe Cole returned late the previous night from a very tedious job he went off-campus to do just to earn extra morning for something big he was planning towards. Usually, he would wash Robert’s car every morning and get paid for it either in cash or in a free ri

Emily was Joe Cole's crush since the very first day he saw her on Campus, they were in different departments but he studied hard so he could help her with her schoolwork. He loved her from afar and couldn't summon the courage to ask her out because she was in a relationship with one of the school's kings. His opportunity came a month after her breakup and unprecedentedly, they became friends. With his wit and charms, he finally got her, she agreed to date him because of how much he helped her academically, and she insisted they keep the relationship secret.This would be the first time he was taking her on a date, he had cashed in all the money he saved from working tirelessly for months just to plan an expensive date for Emily in one of the school's top restaurants, Palace Dining.A full-course dinner at Palace Dinning cost $30,000 at the least level, and Joe Cole labored hard to afford it with much sacrifice to himself just to please the girl of his dreams. But she turned against hi

Emily and Jake being the latest trending school couple worked to turn the school against Joe Cole, no one was giving him his usual menial jobs anymore but he didn't need those as he already earned $100,000 compensation from the Police and the School."That bastard thinks he can embarrass me in this school. Damn—" Jake pacing around in a meeting with Emily and his friends, said furiously."Come on Jake, relax. We'll deal with him." Marquis said, trying to console him.Marquis was Mercury's elder brother and the son of President James Carter of the United States, he was Jake's right-hand man who equally despised Joe Cole with passion.They came up with a plan to finally get Joe Cole out of the school.**********************Whilst in class, Jake began pacing around looking hard and meticulously for something he thought was lost. He searched himself and his belongings thoroughly but couldn't find them, his anger soon attracted the whole class to him and everyone began to enquire about wh

“Yes sir, am dying to know.” Joe Cole answered the President, adjusting himself to the information coming his way.“Okay Joe Cole, I’ll tell you a story.” The President took a seat opposite Joe Cole, crossed his legs, and began his storytelling.”“50 years ago, a couple—adventurists and explorers of ancient relics and artifacts—, struck gold in one of their deep explorations. They found the lost treasures of the Knight Templars, the wealthy and powerful Catholic military order whose members combined martial prowess with a monastic life to defend Christian holy sites and pilgrims in the Middle East and elsewhere. After their death and the tragic end of their operations in 1312, it was rumored that their vast wealth was never found and was lost forever.”Joe Cole wondered why the President was giving him history lessons, he had read about the Knight Templars and he too like everyone else considered the part of their lost treasures to be a myth. ‘The Catholic Church ceased that wealth fo

After a few minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation from Rachael, Joe Cole was revived and allowed to rest until he was fit enough to continue. Once he was fine, they continued.“Am really sorry for passing out like that. My brain shut down for a while.” Joe Cole apologized, “Please sir, can someone explain these figures to me?”“Fortunately, the contract your parents made with the government which is TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED ended this year as the 50th year. And so far, the 2% annual interest paid to the account totaled at $300 billion, a solid 100% ROI. And now we have to return the treasures and continue a perpetuity payment of $3 billion yearly.” President Carter explained.Joe Cole, all smiles and his perfectly lined teeth showing, reacted,“So I’m worth $300 billion right now?”“No sir, you’re worth far more than that,” Rachael answered him. Her response widened his eyes more, his mind forgetting what the President had told him about the contract.President Carter continued his ca
