Jed's eyes glazed over some certain body parts before he quickly looked away, swallowing nervously. Liana didn't reply to him but she bent and tried flapping the jacket over her unconscious friend.

"How's the situation outside?" She asked, her voice sounding like music to Jed's ears amidst the chaos.

"Everywhere is completely consumed by the fire except this place."

Jed remembered the man in the hallway and stepped out to check on him.

He was still lying motionlessly in that sitting position.

"The fire department must be on their way now," He stepped back, looking everywhere else while trying to avoid looking at Liana.

He didn't notice her observing his actions. When she realized what he was doing, a small smile appeared on her face.

It was like it bloomed her entire facial features even more. Pity, Jed missed the beautiful scene.

"If they don't hurry up, we might all get toasted by the fire. I don't think Nikki can hold on any longer."

She crouched low to feel her friend's pulse whi

    [Young master, I just watched the news. Are you and your friends safe? I forwarded some mails to you][We are safe]Jed replied and exited to check his g****e mail app when messages trooped in consecutively.[Young master, we saw the news.

It certainly wasn't bad because it didn't hurt him.Instead he felt warm. In his first life, he has never had someone to ask how he was, his well being and if he was safe. But this time, there were people worried about him. His fingers swiped on the

    "It's good you put them in their place. I bet Matt was ordering the nurse around on purpose," Eric had a different opinion to Ben."More like, trying to delay my treatment.""But we should try to steer clear of them. Jed, whatever you poured on his face won't have effects right?"Jed laughed upon seeing Ben's worried expression. "Aiyo, you don't think I poured some kind of chemical on him right? I only helped heal his wound. He will be fine. He was just overreacting."Ben heaved a sigh of relief and Jed struggled to hold in his laughter. He brought out his phone and saw that the g****e mail app had finally opened.He clicked on the mail lawyer Sean had sent to him when Eric poked him with a finger.Without looking up, he asked,"What?""Ahem... I saw you coming out with that rude girl. What's really going on between you two?" Eric had an aggrieved look. How could Jed like Liana of all girls???"Control your weird thoughts," Jed finally looked up. "We hid in the same place before the fir

    Johnny didn't know who Mason was so he looked at them with a clueless look. Jed nodded his head like he felt Ben's idea was great. "Yes, he used to work in Meta inc. before so he will have better knowledge about the proposals." 'Did you forget he was let go by Meta inc?' Vendetta suddenly chimed in his head. 'If he can help, I'll offer anything in return,' Jed's response was unexpected. Jed brought out his phone and sent a message to Irwin. [Arrange a meeting for me with the employees tomorrow] "Excuse me, who is Mason?" Johnny couldn't hold back his curiosity so he asked. Ben briefly explained Mason's connection to the Jetti's. After the narration, Johnny's facial expression showed displeasure. "The Jetti's are always known to play dirty. I never expected they were the one behind old Jordan's downfall. What would they gain from not playing tricks and trying gaining grounds the legitimate way for once?" Jed had no response to that but he remembered Johnny's words and asked,"Yo

    There was silence for a few minutes. Ben was utterly confused. If it were a question about tech, he could answer it in a heartbeat. But issues that have to do with businesses, it's like the switch of his IQ goes off.Jed only needed a minute to figure out what Johnny was trying to say. "Are you trying to buy more partnerships?""You are really no fun at all, young master," Johnny's words indicated his guess was right."If the public gets to know about the new VVIP credit card offer and its perks, it would prompt them to invest more in the bank. I bet Skye would be having new wealthy customers soon. That's a smart move."Johnny smiled humbly. "We are trying to gauge the public's agreement for now. It's just a proposal. It is still uncertain if it will flop or succeed."Jed didn't say anything but he could already envision Skye's future progress. Limited membership credit cards weren't common and those that were available could only be afforded by wealthy moguls.If Johnny's plan works o

    It was late when the boys returned from Skye. Johnny kept them entertained and Eric didn't even want to leave. But considering the fact that they still needed to attend college the next day, he grudgingly obliged to leave.As the chauffeur drove the car into the portable garage, Jed's eyes subconsciously drifted to the next building.He and Liana didn't get any chance to discuss again after they were rescued by the firemen and she also accompanied her unconscious friend to the hospital.He wanted to know if her friend was fine. Most importantly, know how she herself is doing.But he couldn't come up with any excuse to just walk up to her doorstep and ask all these questions so he sighed in frustration and walked in.Ben noticed his gaze at the house next door and chuckled. Putting his hand round Eric who was still engrossed in the online training match, he whispered,"Did you see that? Jed clearly wanted to visit her but he stopped himself at the last minute.

    "Young master, I've made my decision," Mason called out as Jed was setting the table. Ben and Eric took over while he walked up to Mason."So... What is it going to be?" He wasn't scared Mason would reject his offer after all that was such a hard to come by proposal."I agree," Mason sucked in a deep breath like he'd just made a difficult decision. "But I have a condition.""That is?""Each software I formulate that gets released successfully must have my initials as the programmer."Jed didn't expect this would be his request. Seems like the poor man was scarred by the treatment he'd gotten from the Jetti's and Meta previously."No problem. Is that all?"Mason was surprised that Jed readily agreed. At that moment, he subconsciously pledged his loyalty to this amiable young master."Yes, that's all sir.""What about the lawsuit?"Mason wasn't as fretful as he was earlier as he declared,"I will testify whichever way you want me to and also bear witness to their wrongdoings."A smile fin

    Jed leaned forward, a little bit close for Liana's comfort. "Are you doubting me?"She moved away and snorted again. He loved it when she made this sound. "Of course not. Who else would be so brave to rush back into a burning building to save someone that isn't related to him?" Her voice carried a hint of sarcasm but Jed felt he could listen to her talk forever.Liana initially thought he had gotten trapped in the building like her. She was surprised to hear the rumors of him rushing back to save the chef flying around school.Though she thought it was a foolish thing to do, she felt a bit of admiration for his courage. She gave him a curious look.Back then at Elite High, she didn't pay much attention to the bullied kid in the class but she couldn't help but feel something had changed about him.Jed smirked upon listening to all her thoughts. What stuck to his mind was that Liana admired him even if it was a little bit."Is there something on my face?" He was practically leaning on h

    Once Jed got outside, his phone vibrated with a message notification. He checked it only to see a reminder from Irwin.[Boss, I have arranged a meeting for you and the employees just like you requested. Be at the company by 4pm]Jed paused, he had completely forgotten that in his anger, he asked Irwin to arrange a meeting for him. But he definitely couldn't attend that meeting.It was still too dangerous to reveal his identity now. As he walked forward in search of Ben and Jed, he pondered on what he was going to do.He couldn't avoid this meeting but he also couldn't attend it. "I always asked you to keep your anger in check! Look what you've done to yourself. How would you explain a low CGPA to your parents?" Ben's worried tone disrupted Jed's thoughts.He looked up and saw the two he had been searching for storming towards him. Eric's face was completely red with anger written all over it.But despite the way Ben was lashing out at him, he didn't respond."Guys, what's wrong?" Jed

    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. If you want, I can direct the team of designers that di

    "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

    The prison doors opened and a young man with a rough appearance and outgrown beards stepped out.He looked around and finally found the person he was searching for. 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!'
