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?

    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?

    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

    He looked around the empty room and quickly deduced the reason for Jed's low spirited look. The latter is supposed to be discharged today yet not even one of the Jetti's showed up.Fine... He understands they don't like Jed but can't they keep up appearances even for pretense?"Why are you guys here?" Jed was really surprised. The last time they came for a visit, they never mentioned they would accompany him back to the dorm any day he is discharged."We met them downstairs and found out you were getting discharged today so we came over with them and didn't forget to bring you flowers. Young master, we are glad you have recovered," Ian was the one that replied. He thought the question was meant for him and Scarlett.Jed chose to let the matter go. The depressed atmosphere around him slowly vanished as his smile widened. He stretched out his hands to collect the flowers with a 'thank you.' Eric helped him pack up and they headed out.On their way out, he turned to Ian and Scarlett,"Y

    'User has to raise enough funds required for the baby's surgery to earn four reward points,' Vendetta informed. 'There is no deadline for this task but it will expire when the user fails to arouse sympathy from the passers-by or when a new task arises.'Jed's eyes fixated on the woman and baby. Four reward points just to raise funds for the baby's surgery... Well, that sounds simple.'I will imply the user not to be too forward,' Vendetta's robotic voice sounded a bit amused.Just then, Jed heard Scarlett ask,"Dad, how much is the surgery fee exactly?""I don't know," Ian shrugged. "But while going through the procedure for your brother's surgery, I overheard some of the nurses saying a tetralogy of fallot surgery costs at least eighty to eighty-five thousand dollars."Not Scarlett, others were shocked to hear the huge amount the surgery costs.Jed suddenly felt like he was being cheated. He had to leave the hospital soon yet Vendetta asked him to raise funds from the passers-by for t

    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. Drake, still grappling with the newfound knowledge that Jed was his biological cousin, couldn't shake the conflicting emotions. As he observed the joyous

    "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.

    "Dad, I have some important work later which I cannot cancel or postpone so count me out," Drake's face was distraught with annoyance."I can tell you are lying. You are the boss and you can easily handle any work.""Dad," Drake got exasperated. He clutched the handle of his swiveling chair tightly. "What makes you think I'll really go to dinner with Jed? 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. Those shares of mine that are still in the company aren't for an act."Drake gritted and clutched the phone tightly. Although he is the CEO of their family business, his father still remains the chairman and the old man possesses a fair amount of shares that could make him wary."I'll be there."Jack's eyes flashed fiercely when he heard this. Drake looked clearly unwilling, w

He only flicked his fingers indicating for the guests to be led in.The secretary nodded and stepped out. When the door reopened, he finally looked up. His eyes glazed with surprise at his august visitors. He stepped away from the computer and dropped his glasses."What a pleasant surprise," He turned to signal to the secretary to bring up refreshments.As he motioned to Jack to have a seat, he stretched out his hand for a handshake."To what do I owe this special visit? Welcome back."Jack smiled, accepted his handshake and looked around the office. "I can see why you are number one. The interior design is topnotch."Drake's face softened with a smile and he shrugged, "Young master Jetti really knows how to joke around a lot.

    "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. I'll show you the beautiful flowers I have planted myself in this garden."With this, Jed led the old woman. Hand in

With a smile that lit up his slightly tanned face, he walked to the person awaiting his arrival."Younger brother," He called out. "How long has it been and you are already all grown up. I'm glad you didn't let me down."Cullen accepted these compliments with a smile and informed him, "Elder brother, I have completed all formalities for your release and just like you requested, no news was released to the public."Jack nodded with satisfaction and patted him. Then they walked to a SUV."Where is Finn?"Cullen's gaze darkened. "He is still unable to step out, elder brother. But he is awaiting your arrival."Jack's smile vanished hearing this.

    "Yes," Eric sighed faintly as he reached out and patted Eva's peculiar red hair.Then with a little smile, he added, "Anytime I meet this little one, she seems to have run away or gotten lost. 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. Now she's let Eric readily carry her and the two seem to appear too familiar with each other.Does this mean Eric already knows? Why was he acting oblivious then? Is Scarlett aware of this?Eva scribbled something on her board with a toothy smile. [No uncle, my mom's here too and she's having a word with the doctor]"So you wandered out of the ward yourself? Aren't you scared of making mama worried?"[I was going back to mama but I can't seem to find my way now]Eric laughed at the cute, little pout on her face. "I guessed right.

    'I can reject this task but I won't be able to use my AP?' He sounded exasperated to Vendetta.He has acquired these AP painstakingly for years and now the first opportunity to use them was here but he had to sacrifice something to do that.[Yes]Vendetta's chime disrupted his thoughts."Jed?" Eric called out when he turned around and saw that Jed had stopped walking."I'm coming."[Does the user accept this task or not?]Jed paused and thought of it. If he accepts this task, he would be able to get some clue about his long lost sister as the information he got from the real world isn't that very helpful.But accepting it means he has to go against his will to befriend the Powell's. How is he supposed to convince them he suddenly wants to be on good terms with them?As if on cue, Vendetta added,[If the user is unable to convince the targets and build a good relationship with them, this system will automatically count it as failure]'You are not helping,' Jed gritted.

    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!'
