*****"Are you absolutely certain that we should go through this route? Will it not have even more negative consequences on us later if we end up being wrong?" Dean Jaye who presently had a disarray countenance that was so unlike his usual composed and arrogant appearance carefully inquired.Michael, clad in a stylish and pricey Gucci suit, grinned, not taking his uncle’s fear to heart. “Just trust me, uncle. There are not going to be any negative consequences anywhere.”“Didn't I tell you that I spotted that son of a bitch earlier at the bank, not even having up to a thousand dollars in his account? So, tell me, what threat could he possibly pose to us?" He gazed casually at his uncle.“But…”"Uncle," Sarah interjected, standing proudly beside Michael with a heavily made-up face. "You shouldn't be scared of that worthless loser and rather trust my fiancé. That failure really has no relationship whatsoever with Master Robert.” “It looks more like he has something important to Master Ro

***** “What!!” Everybody’s eyes widened with shock upon hearing Ares’s words that suddenly sounded like a challenge while the Vice-chancellor flinched with disbelief.“This!!” They all gaped at Ares as though he had gone insane.“Did… did he just speak to the Vice-chancellor like that?”No matter who they were–the students, jurors, Dean, Michael, Sarah, and even The Army For Ares’s group. Everybody was dumbstruck for a moment and couldn’t believe their ears.While it was evident that the Vice-Chancellor was biased, everybody had assumed that Ares and his brothers would quietly accept their unfortunate fate as any rational person would, given how the power and authority held by a Vice-Chancellor in society is capable of shaping and destroying lives.The courtroom remained eerily silent for a moment until, "What audacity!" The Vice-Chancellor suddenly leaped to his feet and pounded the desk, startling everyone in the hall except for Ares, who remained unfazed.“How dare you speak to me

***** “Please stand up, nothing is your fault.” Ares was incredibly helpless at this point, gazing at the elderly man who had been kneeling before him and would not stand up no matter what he said, acting as though he were his servant. "No, Grandmaster. Let me stay like this. I deserve to be prosecuted for not knowing you've been a student in my school all these years, not even sensing your presence until today. Please forgive me." Ares, “_” "Come on!" He couldn't help but groan with frustration. "You are Master Lewis, for goodness sake. What would the world who adores you think if they were to see you like this, kneeling to a mere student of your school? Wouldn't I be beheaded and criticized even after death?" "Let's see who has the nerve to do it!" Master Lewis's eyes and voice which had been filled with tears and apologies since he and Ares entered the office immediately surged with aggression and fury. "It's my honor to kneel before the grandmaster, fully aware that with your

*****"Sir, this dress is part of our limited edition collection, priced just a cent shy of five figures." Despite Ares merely being there to ‘sightsee’ rather than a potential buyer, Simi enthusiastically described each attire they passed to Ares, with Ares attentively examining every single thing along the way.“But who would buy such type of dress for that astronomical amount?” He inquired with confusion, seeing the almost rag that was called a limited edition.Simi smiled, not mad at all, and was about to respond when a snicker came from their back.“Even people with a little bit of wealth would be able to afford that dress. You should just blame yourself for being too poor.”As soon as Ares heard this, he became unhappy again.The speaker was the lady with heavy make-up whom Jara was attending to.“I know that it is only this fool who barely attends to any customer in a day that befit you. Do I have the time to waste like that?” Jara also snickered and together with her cu

*****"Thankfully, I have the money. Otherwise, Simi would have been in a dire situation." Leaving the boutique with the bag of clothes he just purchased, Ares sighed to himself, picturing the aftermath of him and Simi leaving the VIP section earlier if he hadn’t bought anything.Ares shook his head and then stopped beside the road, waiting for a taxi to pass when suddenly, he heard someone calling his name with uncertainty.Ares was immediately taken aback. “Who knows me?” He wondered and turned his gaze in the direction the voice had originated.Ares immediately recognized the person—a guy wearing a Versace T-shirt, black Gucci pants, and Hermes slides."Hahaha, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, so, it's really you," the guy uttered jovially as he approached Ares with a laugh, acting as though he was a close friend of Ares."Why wouldn't I even remember you? Hahaha! You're still the same as ever," Josh said, smirking as he looked Ares up and down, his eyes rapidly f
