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
Jed's brows furrowed when he heard this. He stared at Alan intently like he wanted to read the truth in his eyes. But all he could see was the faux worried expression on his face.Jed looked away and his fingers clutched the bedspread tightly. No one knows he can read minds so only their thoughts would be truthful.Alan must be telling the truth when he said he isn't the one that sent those men. But Jed doesn't remember offending anyone aside Alan and Cullen so who wants him dead?As if on cue, he heard someone's thoughts,' Those fools better be digging their graves! They can't do anything right. Just one tiny teenager yet they can't take care of him. When they are thoroughly punished, they will take their job seriously next time.'Jed looked up, his gaze sharp and hard. The person that wanted to kill him was in this room. Who is it? His eyes fell on his brothers. Cullen was looking at him with a hateful glare as usual. Finn was at one end of the room whispering something furiously t
Feeling Jed's annoyance, Vendetta immediately explained, 'The girl's a mysterious figure. It won't be fun if I let out her identity to you easily. You should find out for yourself.'Jed puffed his cheeks, refusing to accept the system's explanation. All he knows is that Vendetta knows the identity of the person that saved him yet he insists on hiding the identity.'User has to learn to be more dependent. You can't depend on the system for everything,' Vendetta continued in a helpless tone.This didn't appease Jed's dissatisfaction but he changed the subject, 'I want to purchase the combat skill.'Thinking of how he had laid helplessly on the floor of that room, his fingers clenched the bed cover tightly again.If he had the ability to fight, those guards wouldn't stand a chance against him. He never wanted to feel that helpless again. 'User's current point balance is not enough to purchase the combat skill.''How many points do I need to purchase the combat skill?' Jed inquired eager
Ben's eyes darkened at this and the tears instantly disappeared. "I can see you are really fine or you won't be able to joke around like this," His tone indicated he didn't appreciate Jed implying that he's a gay."Aiyo! I was just kidding. Don't get upset at this patient," Jed hurriedly put on a pitiful look which caused Eric to laugh harder.Ben moved away from his bed and rolled his eyes.After the amused atmosphere was gone, Eric suddenly asked,"Jed, why are you hiding your burden from us? I have just noticed that ever since that day at the podium, you have been hiding things from us and refusing to let us in on what's going on with you.""Yes... What is really going on? Don't you trust us enough?" Ben chimed in.Jed understood what they were trying to say. So he told them everything about his encounter with Alan Jetti excluding the thought he heard and the money he had given the janitor.After learning Jed suspected his abduction was by one of the Jetti's, Ben lost his temper."Yo
A chat box appeared on the lady that's causing chaos and Jed's eyes fixated on it as he read it.[Name: Scarlett Forge. Age: 20. Profession: College student. Relationship Found: Ian's daughter. Attractive quality: Fatal beauty.]Jed could understand the last line. She was indeed so beautiful she could have Lords fighting over her. Even he was no exemption.A thoughtful look appeared on his face. So she is Ian's daughter."Young master," Ian said as soon as they got to where Jed and his friends were standing. He didn't know what else to address Jed as he didn't know his name so he opted for a suitable option."We meet again. I didn't expect you'd still recognize me," A little smile spread on Jed's face in acknowledgement."I tried to find you that day but you left hurriedly," Ian explained quickly as if worried that Jed might misunderstand. "But how could I forget a kind face like yours?"Eric and Ben exchanged a confused look. What's the janitor talking about?Jed chuckled,"You flatte
Later that night after Eric and Ben had left, Jed tossed around the hospital bed. For some reason, he couldn't sleep.Finally, he got tired of turning around so he just laid straight, his head facing the dark ceiling.Just as he was about to call out to Vendetta, the crisp sound of his phone filled the room.Who could it be? Ever since that time that he woke up, none of the Jetti's family has ever visited him again. Only the butler called on behalf of his father but the tone at which he spoke was displeasing so the call ended as soon as it started.Jed sat up slightly and took the phone. An unknown number was flashing on it. He pondered if he should answer it or not. But then, his fingers already swiped the answer button."Hello," An older masculine voice spoke through the phone. "Is this Mr Jedidiah Jetti?""Yes," Jed curiously answered."This is Mr Skye," The caller answered and then waited for Jed to speak. He certainly didn't expect what the lad said next."Who are you?"The que
