“But…” Eric wanted to protest but Ben pulled him back. He motioned for them to leave. He feels ever since that incident at the school’s assembly ground, Jed has been acting strangely. He seemed… Like a totally different person but they couldn’t question his actions as he had promised to explain to them later.Once his friends had left, Jed crouched in front of the janitor. “Sir, do you need money?” The janitor was surprised at his question.He gave Jed’s poor appearance a look. This lad already looks pitiful enough, how can he be of any assistance?Jed’s lips twitched at Ian’s thoughts. He understood Ian won’t answer truthfully based on how wretched his outward appearance is. So he said,” I was given more than enough pocket money and was thinking I should mail the extra $100,000 with me to a charity fund later. Are you sure you don’t need any money?”The janitor’s eyes gleamed. $100,000? Just the amount he needs. But his eyes dimmed; he couldn’t be so shameless to collect money from
“I hope Mrs. Henshaw will think carefully before spurting out whatever cooks up in her head, otherwise, don’t blame me for being cruel!” Jed flared. Perhaps because of his sudden tyrannical demeanor, Mary found it difficult to speak. Only after he tossed his backpack and began running did she recover.“You...” she could barely utter a word in anger. By this time, Jed was far away. Ben and Eric laughed secretly. It felt so good to see that one of the haughtiest teachers in Elites has been put in her place.As Jed ran around, he thought of his task and the deadline. He needed to act fast to accomplish his revenge before the given time. His first step was digging up every useful information about the Jetti's, especially his father. If he wanted to rise to power, he had a strong feeling that Alan Jetti and his family would be his biggest hurdle in future.Not to mention, Alan was already seeking ways to get rid of him. He needed to avenge the late Jedidiah and also find out about his de
Surprisingly, Jed realized that he couldn’t find any tangible information about the Jetti’s on the web. Only that, Alan has three legitimate sons and one newly-found illegitimate son. That means Jed had three older half-brothers. Asides that, there was nothing else.He switched off the system in frustration and called out to Vendetta, ‘Vendetta, I can’t seem to find anything meaningful about my father and his family on the web. How do I fight the enemy when I don’t even know anything about them?”If Vendetta was a human, it would have laughed at Jed’s complaining tone. Instead, it calmly explained in its robotic voice, ‘that is expected because powerful people have enough money to hide their lifestyles from the media. Didn’t you realize there were fewer blogs unlike before about the revelation of your identity? Besides, wasn’t it weird you weren’t assailed by any reporter today based on the juicy news?’Now that it was mentioned, Jed thought of it. “But how do I find out what I need
Mr. Bo, the English teacher, distributed the question papers with a strict expression. The class was unexpectedly quiet because all the students were aware that he is one of the disciplinarians in the school and tolerates no form of nonsensical acts.As soon as the test commenced, Ben and Eric kept glancing at Jed. They haven’t recovered from the shock he gave them yesterday. When they saw that his head was low and he was writing seriously in his answer sheet instead of staring blankly at the ceiling and chewing the tip of his pen like he would usually do, they were convinced that last night was not a dream. But how the hell did their friend just change so much overnight? This lass surely has a lot of explaining to do.Mr. Bo was the stern teacher that had scolded the students on the podium. After that incident and the recent scandal that broke out, he didn’t have a favorable impression about Jed. So as he walked around the class invigilating the students, he noticed Ben and Eric gl
“You again,” Mrs. Henshaw finally noticed Jed. “Why are you here? What offense have you committed this time?”The sub-teacher didn’t let Jed explain. She walked to Mrs. Henshaw and showed her the script. “Ma, look at this. I didn’t expect this rascal would still find a way to cheat even after invigilating them strictly.”The students looked at Jed with contemptuous gazes after hearing this. Only a lowlife like him can stoop so low to cheat even at a mock test. Jane was secretly relieved that fortunately, she didn’t accept any gift or acknowledge his gestures when he chased her endlessly or the way he kept embarrassing himself would have certainly affected her reputation. Jed looked at her coldly at this moment and she immediately retracted her gaze. He turned to the sub-teacher and asked lazily,” With which eyes of yours did you see me cheat ma’am?”The sub-teacher was so furious that she immediately snapped, “If it wasn’t against the school rules, I would have given that swollen fac
Just like that, other teachers also stepped out. The statistics teacher waved the script in his hand and said,” Other students couldn’t get accurate data like this. They all made the same 19% error which is unacceptable in the law of statistics but yours was flawless!”“This is one of the simplest questions I got from an advanced coding textbook and I wasn’t expecting anyone to answer it but you actually solved it and got it right,” the ICT teacher commented with a pleased expression.“The answer to this question can’t even be found in countless books in the school library but you provided the correct answer!” the Library teacher exclaimed.Jed would have given Vendetta a high-five if it was human but alas… He had gotten assistance from Vendetta to solve the question the library teacher talked about.The faces of the students in elite’ class changed. Mrs. Henshaw’s face was so dark that if it were possible, it would be dripping with ink. She thought the presence of these teachers wou
This time, the students didn’t even care about the presence of the teachers. They directly shouted,“Aren’t you just a dumb fatso? Getting 50 marks will even be sheer luck for you!”“Don’t act haughty just because you submitted on time. You must have memorized the answers earlier!”“A lowlife like you has no right to even speak in terms of academics!”Jed chuckled, “Do you think you have the right to speak or predict scores? I guarantee you all that no one here will get above 350 marks and I’ll hog the full 400 marks for myself!”The class was quiet for a second before the students erupted with laughter. “I think a screw has loosened in fatso’s head. He went all the way from 50 marks to 400 marks. Tell us, did you perhaps dream of breaking the record and scoring the total 400 marks?”These words even made the students laugh harder. Mrs. Henshaw looked at Jed like he had lost his mind. Just because he got lucky and did well at the mock tests, he proclaimed he was going to get 400 marks
"Ow!" Jed slurred painfully. He groaned without opening his eyes and wanted to reach out to touch his head, which was aching terribly when suddenly he couldn't move his hands.He opened his eyes and struggled only to realize he was sitting on the floor with his hands tied behind his back. He groaned again and tried to remember what happened. He looked around and saw that he was locked in a dark room.Wasn't he going with the guards to Jetti's villa? Thinking of the guards reminded Jed that he had been knocked out just as they headed to the vehicle.His eyes darkened. Alan acted faster than he expected. Was he going to get rid of him now? Isn't he scared of karma?How will he explain the disappearance of his newly found illegitimate son to the press?Jed couldn't help but feel disappointed at this biological father of his. Which sane father would plot to kill his own son?The door suddenly opened and two guards Jed recognized stepped in. "Oh look, he's awake," One said. "I told you he
