Laughing, Isaacson Hartford hung up the call, and Susan was gritting her teeth at his shamelessness.‘What does it mean by what we've started?’ She thought in annoyance.Susan stared at her phone. She moved her gaze to Caspian, and he nodded.Caspian inserted his hands in his pants pocket, brought out a small device that couldn't be easily detected, and handed it to her.“Attach this to your bag and click the red button once he arrives at the venue. Don't worry, I've got everything planned out.”Caspian again reassured. Susan took a deep breath and decided she'd trust him.Besides, she had no other choice but to do so, as she had accepted his offer to end the frivolous, lackadaisical man.“Alright, I'll contact the number you gave me when I get there. Please do well to come in fast; I don't want to get into a scandal.”Susan reminded him, and Caspian smiled without saying a word.A smile that explains everything without the need to path his lips.A smile that could calm the brewing st

“Hello, Mister, I'm sorry, but I don't think you belong in this section of the mall. This is a high-end store, and I'm not sure you can afford anything here.”Caspian raised an eyebrow, taken aback by the salesperson's rudeness. Excuse me? I'm just browsing, thank you very much. And I can afford whatever I want.”The salesperson smirked. “Really? Or do you just want to steal?”Caspian chuckled, amused by the salesperson's audacity. “Oh, wow, you really are something else. I'm just browsing, and you assume I'm a thief? That's rich.”The salesperson's smirk faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. “Well, excuse me for being cautious. We can't have just anyone in here, can we? Especially not someone dressed like you.”Caspian shrugged, unfazed. “I suppose not. But judging a book by its cover? Definitely poor judgment. Also, I'm not just anyone. I'm a paying customer, and I deserve some respect.”The salesperson snorted. “Respect? Do you think you deserve respect? You're probably

Whoa! Even the system is urging him to accept the offer! Caspian did not refuse, after all, it was a great opportunity to be able to return to college after two years of dropping out.“I hope it won't be a problem for you and the school?” Caspian said. Principal Benjamin hurriedly shook his head.“No, no. It's no problem. I think it'll be the best news for the students when you return. They'll be excited to see their old classmates.”Caspian, deep within him knew the principal was just saying that to convince him to return. In reality, there's no such as as “excited to meet their old classmates” “Alright, I think there's no need to waste time thinking about it. I've concluded, I'll accept your rewards.”Madam Jhanvi immediately clapped her hands in excitement. “Good! Good! Great choice.”“Thank you so much, Madam Moore; I appreciate your kindness.”Caspian bowed to her a little before turning to the principal, “Also, thank you so much, Principal Moore. If there's nothing extra I'll g

First day at college after a dropout, they say it's never really cool, and yes, it wasn't any different when it came to Caspian Grey Hastings. Although he might be a person who possesses the extraordinary system known to only him, it didn't make him any less human than the others, right? You can imagine the feeling of going back to school and being in the same class with those who are several years below you and also new faces of the younger generation that were in high school… thinking about how ridiculing it must be… but Caspian must face it if he wants to succeed. And this is exactly what happened…Caspian walked into his first class, his eyes scanning the room for an empty seat. He spotted one in the back and made his way towards it, trying to avoid eye contact with his new classmates.He didn't want to be seen but it seemed as if everyone already knew he was coming. Principal Benjamin probably made an announcement and most of them looked to have done research and knew who he wa

“Hey! Does the offer still stand?”Although he was reluctant to accept. He'd rather participate than lose everything he owns now. Plus, the system did not ask that he win, so what's there to fear? He'll even get benefits.“Yes… yes, of course. I'm Phineas Douglas, by the way; welcome to our group.”“Thank you… I'm Caspian Grey Hastings.”The two smiled at each other and then shook hands. From seatmates to teammates…but they never expected to be…**10:00 pm. Room 304Phineas and Alfred sat at a cluttered table in room 304, surrounded by wires, circuits, and scattered notes.“See, Alfred, my defense project is about creating a homemade battery using a lemon and copper wire. It's amazing how much electricity we can generate!”Alfred, a guy who looked similar to Phineas, chuckled. He wasn't at all surprised by Phinease's new idea. “That's impressive, Phineas. But have you considered the voltage output and its efficiency? There's a lot for you to take into consideration if it'll be succes
