I was still seated in the sitting room with Paulina and my henchmen discussing how to handle the matter when Stephen walked into the sitting room. My henchmen reacted very fast and immediately drew out their guns to point at Stephen who didn't even look flustered one bit.
"If I were you I would put down those weapons and lay low," Stephen said with his usual cold voice. "I don't entertain jokes like this."
My henchmen didn't for once back down and turned to look at me as if asking me what action they would take next. I couldn't help but chuckle as I ruffled through my hair and said, "Don't worry. He's an ally."
"Oh," Mark, the leader of the henchmen, raised his eyebrows. "We didn't know that. Sorry for the inconvenience."
For some minutes the whole place was quiet after I made the statement. But my main attention was on Stephen who appeared much bruised by the statement. He just kept on staring at me in shock without saying anything."You and Paulina thought I wouldn't discover it but I did already," I said as I looked at Stephen and Paulina. I turned to look at my henchmen who were still seated and signaled them to leave the sitting room.They looked at each other in puzzlement and I knew they were wondering why I had asked them to leave the room very suddenly. They hesitated for some time as if they didn't hear what I just said right now."It seems you've become deaf, haven't you?" I raised my eyebrows as I stared at them. "I said you all should scram right now! Get back to your posts!""Yes boss!" they all said as they picked themselves out of the settees and scurried out of the sitting room immediately. It felt a little funny seeing them run out of the sitting room this way. At this moment I couldn
It took some moments for Paulina and Stephen to recover from their initial shock and take a deep breath. Stephen cleared his throat before saying, "I think we should start with assassinating Mr. Wade or..."At this moment I couldn't help but put the matter at the back of my mind as I asked, "Or who?"Stephen had already told us that we should assassinate Wade to destabilize the Wade family. And now that he was about to mention another person, I couldn't help but want to know who he was talking about."Dominic," he finally replied. "I say we kill Dominic or Wade."I narrowed my eyes and waited for him to explain what he meant. It wasn't as if I couldn't think for myself. I just needed to hear Stephen's point of view."We all know that Wade is a very powerful man to be able to get several powerful players on his side," Stephen said. "It would be really foolish to think that he is still a human being after holding these players as subjects."I listened without saying anything. I stole a
I was ready to head out for the basketball tournament because I knew that my team needed me, and they really needed me.I heaved a sigh as I remembered how exactly the news report had hit that I was doing something so wrong, such as vandalizing the school property and all that.Nevertheless, I decided to find a way to that place and how exactly I would do that was something I didn't know, because I knew that if care wasn't taken I was going to get arrested but I had to deal with Dominic and his men."Oh well I have no other choice but to forge on," I said encouraging myself knowing the threat that faced me.I donned my basketball jersey and shorts along with sneakers under another clothing, with a cowboy hat and glasses to shield my identity.I raced as quickly as my legs could carry me so I could get to school as I watched with caution.'I won't in any form or way use a taxi I could actually get discovered. Besides, my school isn't that far from here.' I thought deep within me.I kep
After I'd finished assessing the court I went on to go and check the Locker room (dressing room) once more and I walked briskly only to enter and see that my teammates looked downtrodden and completely tired of everything that was going on.The atmosphere was really quiet as I could literally feel the tangibility of sadness in the air, it was thoroughly visible in the aspect of the emotional effects that we humans have in environments.I knew that my time with them had really built their confidence but I had bailed out at the last moment focusing on other things and forgetting my team.Even then I decided to forge on and talk to them."Hello guys I know I have not been available but I am available now though. I'm deeply sorry because of my non availability in respect to my presence." I said with all manner of sincerity in my voice.Immediately shock had dominated their faces and they were puzzled as to why he was here after leaving them but in actuality, I came.I noticed this and I
The preparations had already been made and after all the necessary preparations the game started and I met up with my teammates, they didn't particularly look enthusiastic at first but I had no other choice than to encourage them.I had no other choice than to do the necessary to engage my skills and I looked at the enthusiastic spirit of my wonderful teammates, they hoped and depended on me as their leader.'I will not fail them. I decided mentally as I prepared my mind for this title with this loser and I know that he is gonna fail.' I thought.I had no other choice than to focus on the game and leave my mental space meanwhile I sighted Dominic and he wore a maniacal grin."Engage Forgetful skill!" Dominic muttered silently.[FORGETFUL SKILL ACTIVATED][OPPONENT USED FORGETFUL SKILL TO WEAKEN YOU AND YOUR OPPONENTS MENTALLY]My system warned me. My suspicion had finally been confirmed so I had no other choice than to employ Luck skill.I noticed that he was about to use that skill on
It didn't take long before I heard a commotion. It seemed that something was going horribly wrong.I heard the uproariously great sounds of joy turn into a chaotic scene as fear gripped my newly found fans and I was seemingly deserted as all eyes beamed on the Sport center's entrance.It didn't take long before burly and heavily armed men arrived with their fierce aura literally beaming in the environment."What the heck is going on?" Kelvin hollered the question as he looked at me."I don't know man," I replied to him.I didn't understand what was going on until I saw Dominic smiling maliciously at the corner. It was then I understood the ful
After making my speech I couldn't help but turn around so I could look at everyone. And to my greatest joy, the live streaming was still going on and even Dominic's buddies were now being skeptical about following them. I could see it in their eyes. I didn't know what actually gave them the boldness to talk and live stream everything but I was glad that all the students present in the basketball court had my back. It was a relief knowing that I didn't just have Paulina and Stephen.Dominic clenched his other fist and aimed the gun at me while yelling, "Stop with this cock and bull story!""Wait!" one of the students suddenly yelled. "He's gonna kill him like he killed the other people!""If anything happens to Jason, we will make sure you pay with
I heard all the students gasp when I crashed to the ground with a loud thud just now. I know it was still shocking for them to see me move like that and save the boy from being killed by Darwin. But then it wasn't too unbelievable and they would definitely attribute my performance to martial arts. My fans among the students had seen me fight with Dominic's former bodyguard before so they definitely knew that I was good at martial arts. And that was the reason I chose Rush Absorption from the beginning. I wanted to make it seem that I was just using my ordinary strength to fight."You're just lucky I'm the only Wade family's main bodyguard sent to eliminate you," Darwin said. "You would have been so dead already if it had been the other players. They wouldn't have even spared the students."Darwin kept shut
