"Sir, where did you go? I was beginning to get worried," The driver asked as Jed got into the car. The traffic had already eased so the car moved forward."It's fine."Not noticing Jed's expression, the driver continued,"I heard someone risked his life to save the lady. He must have a heart the size of the world to do something as dangerous as that.""Hmm," Jed gave a short reply. He didn't want to face the young driver right now as he was currently tired.The driver noticed this because he didn't say another word till they got to the house.As the driver got down to remove Jed's luggage, he tried not to drool at the beauty of the house. He even gave Jed a quick discerning glance. This passenger looks like he is just a few years younger than him but he already owns a majestic house like this? One really couldn't compare.Jed was amused by his thoughts but didn't comment. The only thing he did was to give him a generous tip."Sir..." The driver stuttered when he received the notificat
'I suggest user make use of an already existing company. One that could rival against them,' Vendetta chimed.Jed walked to the box of pizza he abandoned and picked a slice. 'Okay. I understand what you are trying to say. I'll work on it now.''User should also venture into some investments. Accumulating a large amount of shares in different companies has its own benefits. You should start from Mr Skye.'Jed finally remembered the call in the taxi earlier. "Tomorrow is the revelation of the results. After that, I'll head to Skye bank directly from school," he noted. Once he had switched off the laptop, he went to a popular shopping express online and began to order the basic appliances that he needed.He thought of the gaming room and then finally ordered three desktops. His phone kept vibrating with the sounds of debit alert notifications.Things he ordered didn't cost much so it didn't make a dent on his account balance. After careful thought, he also ordered some basic gym equip
"Yeah! And no one got below 300 marks in the class. You should honor the bet!" One of the elites' students that Jed didn't recognize said. "You made the bet in front of so many students. You lost and can't back out now," Another added like they were afraid he would try to deny the bet.Cullen finally stepped out. "In front of everyone, you said you were going to disappear from the entire society and apologize to us. I hope little brother isn't planning to go back on his words now."There was a righteous look on his face like he wasn't spouting out unjust words.Mrs Smith was puzzled at the sudden turn of events. She was just praising this boy and now this happened?Aren't these two supposed to be brothers? Why does it feel like Cullen harbors a strong resentment towards Jed then?"Don't forget. You agreed to the bet yourself. No one forced you so you should honor your words," Jane spoke, standing beside Cullen.Jed sneered; they were really a match made in heaven. A callous boy and a
The principal's words were a huge slap on the faces of the elites' class. One could even recall that one of the students earlier had mentioned that it was only a mere 10 marks difference.With that mere '10 marks' difference, Jed set records!"The dean has invited you for an interview at the college today. Some of the exam registrars will be there also and the media. You should invite your parents," The principal was vibrating with excitement like he was the one that aced the exam.Jed nodded with a smile. He didn't even need to look around the room to know their countenances.However, at that moment, Eric whispered to Ben,"Have we been living with a god all this while?"Jed was speechless.[Ping!]Vendetta chimed.[User has completed the task of becoming a top student and acing his exams!][User has been rewarded 20 points for acing his exams and becoming a top student!][User has been rewarded 4 points for a satisfying face slapping scene!][User task bar has gone up in ranks!]Jed'
But then, the screen displayed [404 error] indicating the website crashed. Jed returned the phone to Ben and decided he was going to open a Thread account later.Ever since he got the new mobile phone, he hasn't done anything with it aside from calling and receiving text messages.He looked up just in time to see Cullen trying to escape from the room. With narrowed eyes, he remarked,"I didn't know my elder brother was a sore loser."This caused everyone's attention to be on Cullen. When they realized what he was going to do, their faces, especially the elites' students, were ashen.Was he trying to leave them and escape? Who got them into this mess in the first place? If he hadn't proposed that challenge, would this happen?Jed shook his head when he heard what they were thinking. Oh, how quickly people change sides.At first, they were supporting Cullen and now that the table has turned around, they were against him."What do you mean?" Cullen's expression wasn't good. His fists were
"Elites Academy," Jed answered naturally like the answer was from him. But he knew deep down, this was probably the wish of the original host of this body."That's great," The principal laughed happily again. "I was worried you would be swayed by the conditions of the foreign schools fighting over you."Jed was confused. Schools were fighting over him? Because he didn't have an account on thread, he didn't know some foreign but prestigious schools were currently vying for him.The principal didn't notice his clueless look and continued,"I have invited your father to the school. I have to relay the message to him personally. I also have to inform him that he is expected to accompany us to the interview at Elites'.""But sir, there is no need to invite my father. You already told me the news yourself and I can attend the interview myself," Jed immediately countered."No, you are still a minor and as a minor, you need an adult's consent. That is, your parents or guardians."The principal
Just as he was about to read their comments, the principal said,"Let's go. The press must be waiting." Initially, they were to have the interview with the exam registrars, the press and his father.But since the parent isn't here. He would just make up some excuse. Jed didn't react to the principal's thoughts. He simply kept the phone and followed him out. When they got into a fairly used sedan, Jed brought out the phone again to check out the comments.[This year has really produced a lot of young, promising talents in Philadelphia. We'll be anticipating seeing your faces next semester] Elite Academy's comment was pinned so a lot of people were already commenting under it.Jed realized the other colleges whose names he didn't recognize also commented. He directly skipped and went to STEM'S comment first. [Thank you. I'll try my best not to let you down.]His response caused an uproar. The little fan base he had gotten dropped comments one after the other.[@lonely fish, our little
Just then, one of the reporters asked,"Mr Jed, I'm sure you must have seen one of the comments that is currently trending on your school's web page."The old man watched as everyone exchanged a knowing look of confusion. They didn't know which comment the reporter was talking about.The reporter was eager to inform them,"Someone with the i.d psycho has commented that why is the entire country singing praises of you when there are many other distinguished scholars in the country who will easily beat your record in the future. So you don't have to act arrogantly."Everyone including viewers looked at Jed anxiously, wondering how he was going to respond. Even the old man was no exception.If this lad were to say something wrong, his newly found fame will wane due to harsh public criticism. One needs to be careful of what he/she says on air.A little smile appeared on Jed's face alluring viewers. "There were other distinguished scholars before me but I beat their records. So surely, new s
