Striding out of the food storage room, Caspian unexpectedly bumped into Jason, whom he sees standing by the door.

It was evident that Jason had been eavesdropping on their conversation. Jason stared at Caspian with a slightly complicated emotion.

He then embraced him in a tight hug, which Caspian did not see coming. Jason pulled away, and he grinned sheepishly at Caspian.

“You were so brave in there,”

He commended Caspian, and Caspian chuckled and scratched his head.

“Someone needs to remind him that not everything will remain the same forever. I'm glad you were able to. I just pray he listens and changes.”

Jason continued to speak, and Caspian smiled. His eyes lingered on the young guy in front of him.

Jason is 1.8 meters tall, slightly taller than him. His masculine, firm cheekbones down to his shaped jaws are straight and firm.

His eyes were a pair of bottle greens, and his nose was sharp and straight. His lips were pinkish and slightly plump.

This handsome dude has a straight figure and broad shoulders but is not too muscular, and he has curled honey-brown hair.

Dressed in a blue denim leather jacket. A white shirt and blue jeans, coupled with white leather boots.

He had a lily tattoo on his neck, and his pierced right ear had black stud earrings.

His looks screamed royalty, and that made Caspian wonder why Clayton was able to bully him.

Regardless, Caspian did not ask any questions about that and continued to smile lightly as he listened to Jason speak.

“Oh my bad, I'm Jason Davis; you can just call me Jason, and yeah, I Know already, You are Caspian."

Jason mumbled; his expression held teases that made Caspian chuckle.

“Nice to meet you. It's already expected. Haha, I'm pretty much more popular than most second-generation rich heirs of the city. It's normal!”

Cracking a joke as he replied, Caspian accepted Jason's handshake suggestion, and they laughed.

“Uhm… Your friend is in there unconscious; you might not want to drag him out.”

Caspian spoke, and Jason's eyes widened, flabbergasted. Clayton wasn't the weak kind of guy to be knocked unconscious easily.

He had known Clayton since they were kids, and he knew how almost impossible it was to beat him in any match, not to mention making him go into a temporary coma.

His eyes scanned the guy in front of him, forcing himself to believe that this bony structure had dealt with Clayton, but he couldn't believe it.

Caspian has smooth, silk-like, shining black hair. Tall with broad shoulders and almost no visible muscles. He has straight legs and is about 1.78 meters tall with a perfect, handsome, chiseled face. A straight nose, an average-sized mouth, and a pearl-shaped eye. His tanned pinkish skin color matched his cool temperament.

Jason thought this creature looked awesome, but he still couldn't believe his ears.

“Well, I'll call his friends to come get him; he's not my friend, although we are cousins.”

Hearing Jason's explanation, Caspian nodded In understanding.

“I'll get going already; I've still got lots of work to do.”

Caspian said, and Jason paused to gaze at him. He seemed to want to say something but ended up not saying it.

“Alright then, have a great day ahead.”

Jason responded, and Caspian bowed and turned around, striding through the stairs ahead.

“System Announcement: Congratulations, Caspian Grey Hastings, for COMPLETING the task assigned.

You have SUCCESSFULLY leveled up and have been granted a reward bonus of three hundred percent of your previous income.”

The robotic, computerized voice echoed in his head. Caspian halted his steps and moved to a secluded spot.

Nice! Caspian thought to himself. He brought out his phone and saw three unread messages.

Checking through the messages, Caspian's eyeballs almost popped out at the sight of the money he had made.

He rubbed his eyes with his arms as he confirmed the amount in his account.

Caspian was exceptionally delightful; he'll quit his job today and begin his new journey towards fulfilling his dreams with this wholesome amount of money.

Caspian proceeded to check the last message. It is a message from his bank service.

They had noticed the large amount of money that had been credited into his account from an untraceable location and asked to see him.

Caspian rolled his eyes. Of course, these people thought he'd remain poor forever. He placed his phone back in his pocket and clicked his tongue as he hummed the “Baby Shark” nursery rhyme.

“Son of a bitch, where the hell do you think you're going to?” Sarah shouted upon seeing Caspian striding out of the canteen without being told to. This caught the attention of the customers in the main hall.

Caspian swerved around, an annoyed look evident on his face. “I'm off to the stationary center,” he scoffed and proceeded to leave but unexpectedly collided with Mrs. Hartford, who was entering the place.

“Stupid brat, are you blind?” She yelled at him but he remained calm. He wasn't in their class any longer and spending extra time here made him feel nauseous.

“No, I am not blind. It was you who wasn't looking your way,” his response shocked her. The fuck!! Who gave this guy guts?

“Ooh, look who is now talking back at me. Who'd have thought that you'd grow some wings within just a few minutes of my absence.” She laughed sarcastically.

“Exactly, Aunt; Dude said he was leaving for the stationary center during work hours. He should be penalized, his salary should be deducted. How dare this filth?”

Caspian gave them bland looks and directly pushed Mrs. Hartford out of the way.

“Oh my, if you take a step further, you're fired.” Caspian acted as though he did not hear what Sarah said. He walked out on them with an aura of arrogance that they couldn't discern.

**Emerald West Bank**

“Hello, I'm here to unfreeze my account,” Caspian said as he got to the receptionist's table. She scanned at him from head to toe. Judging from his outlook, she concluded he was just a poor student looking for funds.

“I'm sorry but only those with meager accounts who have received an amount equivalent or more to the amount required for a VIP or Premium account get their account frozen so they can come over to upgrade to their choice account, not people like you.”

Caspian did not miss the taunt and ridicule in her voice. “And who are people like me?” He probed.

“Poor students who, instead of hustling for their money, come to the bank to open a file of being scammed by bankers and require a certain amount you probably wouldn't be able to make in your life as compensation.”

“Ooh,” Caspian was speechless.

“What's going on here?” A man in a black suit asked. He wore a gold-rim glass and was holding an envelope.

“Manager Bello, This person has come to scam our bank. He said he has come to unfreeze his account, but he doesn't look like someone whose account was frozen due to income over the limit.”

“Are you the man I'm waiting for? Mr. Daio?” The manager ignored the words of the receptionist as he stared intently at Caspian.

“How can he possibly be…”

“Caspian Grey Hastings, if that's the name, yeah, I'm the one.”

The receptionist was left astounded. How is that even possible?

“Yes, yes… it's you. Forgive my manners, Mr. Grey Hastings. Welcome to Emerald West Bank. Please come with me.”

“Mhn… that lady, she lacks manners and ethics for that position.” Caspian did not hide his disdain, seeing the manager bowing repeatedly in front of him and calling him Mr. Grey Hastings.

“Don't worry. Mr. Grey Hastings, she'll be taking care of.” He bowed again and immediately took out his phone.

“Hello, Stephen; help me replace the front desk receptionist and send her a goodbye notice.”

“Aah! My apologies Manager Bello. I swear, it was an unintentional mistake. Please give me a second chance. Mr. Grey Hastings…”

She did not get to complete her words when she was dragged out by the guards at the door.

“Thank you, now we can proceed.”

    Manager Bello led Caspian to a private room, where he began to explain the situation. “Mr. Grey Hastings, it seems that a large sum of money has been deposited into your account from an untraceable source. Our system automatically froze the account pending further investigation.”Caspian nodded, intrigued. “I see. And what does this mean for me?”Manager Bello smiled. “Well, Mr. Grey Hastings, it means that you now have a substantial amount of wealth at your disposal. We'll need to discuss investment options and…”Caspian interrupted, a sly grin spreading across his face. “I think I'll manage, thank you. Just unfreeze the account and give me access.”Manager Bello raised an eyebrow but nodded. “Very well, Mr. Grey Hastings. But please, be cautious. Your new financial status may attract unwanted attention.”Caspian chuckled, a cold glint in his eye. “I can handle myself, Manager Bello. Don't worry about me.”With that, the account was unfrozen, and Caspian left the bank with a spring i

    He looked behind him at the path Isaacson Hartford had gone through, and his eyes widened in disbelief.Everything was clear, like broad daylight. How could such a disgusting event take place in such a prestigious place? Obviously, Isaacson thought he could easily get away with it.Caspian, unable to look further, reached for his shirt. He took it off, leaving himself with his white undershirt, and gave the shirt to the lady.Scrutinizing Caspian, who wasn't looking her way but was stretching out his shirt to her, Susan Lee cowered back in fear.She did not move forward to accept his clothing.Susan peeked at her clothes, which were torn into almost shreds; her eyes immediately welled up with tears again as she began to sob.Caspian sighed; he didn't know what to do at this point and felt it would be best if Susan put on his clothes to cover her exposed body.But seeing that she was not accepting the shirt, he turned and stared at her with a gentle smile.“Have this to cover yourself

    Caspian clasped his palms together, and his eyes blazed with vengeance.He couldn't wait to complete this mission and expose Isaacson, while at the same time leveling up and earning more income.Caspian turned and stared at Susan. He walked up to her and pulled her from her shoulder. Staring deep into her gray orbs, Caspian asked:“Do you want to get justice for yourself? I can help you out.”Susan quivered immediately. She sat back on the rock and cowered, tears streaming as she looked at the ground while shaking her head.“No… no! I'm not interested in doing that; I'm going to fail if I do, and no one will believe me if I say anything bad against Mr. Isaacson.”She mumbled. Caspian strode to her, bent to her sitting height, and placed his hands against the tree.“It's okay; do not cry anymore.”He said this to her and wiped her tears away. Caspian couldn't hide how sympathetic he felt towards her situation.“Look here, Miss. I know you don't want to do this, and I know you are silly

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

He looked down at his phone and felt more certain about how necessary an upgrade was required.“Hey, are you going somewhere?” a cab driver asked, his head poking out through his wind-down car window.“Yes, the central mall. If that isn't too far,” Caspian responded.“It's all about the money, boy. Hop in if you've got ten pounds.”“Man, that's a lot of charges for that distance.

    “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

Get welfare maintenance to fix it.”“Of… course, immediately.”She nodded and then turned to another sales person. “Where is Goodwill?” She demanded.“Manager Goodwill has not come to the mall for almost two weeks now.

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.

He was so into it. I almost thought he was the song owner.”“So true!”“These vocals he used… damn immersive. I think it's baritone” “No, it's tenor!”A group of guys nearby started discussing Caspian's vocals.

    Jaws dropped, eyes widened, and faces paled as Mr. Emmanuel and Principal Benjamin Moore gazed at the physics paper in utter disbelief. The three most challenging questions, once deemed unsimplified, now boasted clear, concise solutions, each one a masterpiece of simplicity. “What in the world...?” Principal Moore trailed off, his voice barely above a whisper. Mr. Emmanuel's eyes darted back and forth, scrutinizing every line, every equation, every solution. “This is impossible. No student can...can...do this!” Just then, a knock at the door broke the stunned silence. Principal Moore, still in a daze, called out, “Enter!” The door creaked open, and a man from the Bureau of Education stepped inside, his face ashen yet filled with excitement. “Principal Moore, I...I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to see it for myself.” He approached the desk, his eyes fixed on the paper, and his voice trembled. “These solutions...they're...they're revolutionary. The way they've simplified complex c
