Slam!

Jed was puzzled to see the class bully, Henry in front of him. “Are you deaf? How dare you ignore me?” Henry growled in a voice deeper than that of a teenager’s.

“Let him be, Henry. You can see he isn’t in a good mood,” Ben looked annoyed.

“Shut up. Who cares? How dare he act high and mighty just because he is now the son of a wealthy family? Note, he is only an illegitimate son so he has no stance in the family,” Henry bellowed and the class laughed.

Jed was irked. Why do they keep on calling him an illegitimate son when he’s got a real name?

Amidst all these, a soft, flowery voice spoke, “If I didn’t know better, I would say you are jealous. Even if he is an illegitimate son, his status is higher than you who is just the son of a nouveau riche.”

The class fell silent at these words. They all looked at the one that spoke. When they saw the pleasantly, beautiful face of the class belle, Liana Adams, they were perplexed. Even Henry blushed and rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

    “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

    The entire Powell family was left dumbfounded by the unexpected twist. Mr. Harry, the patriarch, spoke up, his voice strained with disbelief, "Selena Morgan? That's my sister." The room fell into a heavy silence, broken only by Mrs. Powell's sharp intake of breath. "What!!!" Her eyes widened with shock and remorse. She had, unknowingly, harbored resentment toward her best friend's child for years. Mrs. Powell, her voice quivering, admitted, "Selena and I were best friends. I never knew... I never realized Estelle was her daughter yet I've unintentionally harbored this hatred towards her all this while." The room buzzed with mixed feelings. Joy and confusion lingering in the air. The family felt heavy with the surprising news, trying to understand the mix of feelings and the complicated connections that had just been revealed.

    "Mmph!"Liana thought he was distracted and leaned in to steal a kiss but at the last minute to her disappointment, his large palm blocked her lips.Jed could feel her pout beneath his palm so he smiled and removed it before pulling her towards him tightly and kissing her till she was out of breath.Her face was as flushed as a beetroot red. He smiled and kissed her swollen lips again before looking down lovingly to tell her,"Don't play around. We'll be at Powell's residence soon and we have to be on our best behavior.""Okay," Liana nodded with an innocent look. "I'll try to remember that."Jed chuckled, shaking his head helplessly. As the car continued the journey, he couldn't help thinking of Vendetta's words.What was it trying to insinuate by stating the members of the Powell's are six instead of five? Could it be experiencing a glitch?"Sir, we are here."After some time, the car came to a stop in front of the magnificent Powell's family residence.Jed got out and led Liana in.

He and I are archenemies."Jack's ears perked up upon hearing that name. What could that little brother of his be up to now?Why would he invite the Powell's to dinner?"Drake," Harry's tone turned stern. "If you don't come home tonight, you know what I can do.

    "Mr Powell, don't get grandma so worked up. It's fine if you don't want to talk about whoever you—" Jed led grandma Powell to a bench."My sister. Don't mention her. Anyone that ran away from one's family for years without looking back doesn't deserve to be family.""Harry, don't be so mean," His words made the grandma upset as her eyes dimmed with tears.Jed silently noted whoever Mr Powell's sister was must have been important to the old madam. Why did she run away... Jed didn't think intruding too much would be acceptable but he knew now her running away from home must have hurt Mr Powell so much that he doesn't even want to talk about her."Grandma, I'll be sad if you are sad. I came all the way today just to visit you?"His words made grandma Powell guilty and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face. "Boy, you are such a sweet talker. I want to go for a walk. Come.

Tell me, did you get lost again this time?"Jed watched with confusion as Eric crouched and lifted the girl in his arms.He knew due to Eva's autism, she's never gotten along without strangers.

    As soon as they returned to their vehicles safely, Eric instructed his chauffeur to leave with his car as he would be hitching a ride with his friends.When they got into the second vehicle, he removed his shirt as he was feeling uncomfortable."Why is it so itchy? What material did they use?" He asked rhetorically as he itched his body.Jed wasn't having the same reaction but was staring at Ben through the rear view mirror.Although the latter looked like he was conscious of his surroundings, he was in a terrible state and could barely keep his eyes open."Ben, we'll get you to the hospital," He said worriedly as he drove the car out of the surroundings.'Ping!'
