"No, I'm fine... I'm fine," Jed sat back and massaged his head which surprisingly wasn't aching. The chauffeur witnessed all that happened and pressed some buttons to wind down the glasses of the car.'Ping!' Vendetta chimed as soon as Jed had recovered himself.'User has used eight points during the activation of your Retrocognition skill.'Jed was puzzled. Vendetta never told him that to use the skill he needed to sacrifice some of his points.'User has a total reward point of eight left. Would you like to look at the available skills that can be purchased?''Wait, Vendetta, you never told me I need to use some points to be able to make use of my Retrocognition skill. Didn't I already purchase it?' Jed was speechless. He seriously suspected this was a rip off!Vendetta sensed his thoughts and was amused before apologizing,'I'm sorry. System didn't explain earlier. The thing is, take for instance, you are playing a mobile game and you have some perks to your possession that you could
"Would you like to be part of my project team?" Bryan didn't expect this question because his face brightened.He wanted to ask Jed earlier but he didn't want to come off as rude. He doesn't want to be on another team with a bunch of rude boys that would make his life miserable."Really?" Bryan couldn't believe his ears. Jed nodded excitedly and before he knew it he was enveloped in a warm embrace.It seems like since he has transmigrated into this life, the warmth that was missing from his former life has become abundant. "Woah woah chubby, easy there or I'd suspect you have a thing for our Jed," Eric teased and Bryan immediately pulled back blushing fiercely.Ben flicked Eric's palm again. He always loves to talk nonsense. "Don't tease the poor boy.""See you later brother," Bryan waved and hurried away. Eric chuckled,"Should we tell him Jed is too young to be called brother?""Shut up. We are running late."Mid-noon when they got some break from classes, Jed brought out his phone
"Father, I was told you wanted to see me," Finn barged into the chairman's office located in the Jetti's headquarters. He had been busy these past few days trying to figure out the mole that was letting out all his information to the securities but the men he hired were so useless that they couldn't find any clue.Since they can't find the snitch, he couldn't operate because whatever business transaction he tries to do will obviously be countered by the bastard operating behind the scene. And since he has been unable to operate the activities of his cartels and the money he got from the brothels he was managing were barely enough, he was inciting more loss than he has ever had.So he was already so tense and when he received the notice that his father wanted him to head over to the Jetti's headquarters, he was surprised.He just had to come and see what was going on. But he wasn't at all surprised to see Jack already in the office.After all, news of the Jetti's Inc coming to an end
"Guys... Guys... Stop with these wild speculations okay? I haven't even seen her all day," Jed raised his hands over his head to show he surrendered."Can't I just be texting someone and be genuinely happy about it?""Well, history has it that when a man smiles over the phone while texting, he is chatting with a loved one obviously a female and vice versa," Eric hummed, rubbing his nose.Jed chuckled. "Well then, the legend's saying is wrong."They made their way to leave when their path was suddenly obstructed. Ben almost groaned when he saw Arthur, Jayden, Ken and Matt surprisingly no Cullen this time."Why is it that whenever someone bumps into us it is usually you scumbags?" Eric was the hot-headed one amongst them so he exploded."Hey! Bastard, who are you referring to as scumbags?" Ken yelled."It seems like your injury has healed well, Matt," Jed's voice was so low one would have missed what he was saying.Matt subconsciously shivered in fear remembering what had happened at the
"Jed, why did you accept their invite? You should know those scallywags have a plan for you. Whenever they are around, nothing good ever happens," Ben asked as soon as they got home.He's been refraining himself from asking while they were in the vehicle. One because of the chauffeur and secondly because Jed seemed to be in a serious conversation with whom he was texting.Eric didn't say a word, just stormed inside with his fists clenched. Jed shook his head. Whenever he sees Jayden, his mood just changes drastically."I know," Jed's words were accompanied by a chuckle. Ben didn't see what was funny.He knows they have some kind of sick plan for him yet he accepted their invite. Isn't that the same as walking right into the enemy's trap?"What is better than making them fall into the ditch they dug for me themselves?"Ben was puzzled for a second before he suddenly grasped the meaning of Jed's response."You... Cunning brat! I seriously thought you were in big trouble," Ben patted him
He didn't have to watch the scene to know what was going on. Each cry his fiancée made tore at his heart painfully.It was all his fault. He shouldn't have hesitated for so long to remind Jed. One couldn't imagine what she would have gone through in the hands of that vile man."Mason," Will's laughter came up as he appeared in front of the camera. He used a napkin to wipe off the blood stains on the screen and pointed at the screen so that he could be as if they were seeing him directly."Old friend, I have only kept her alive for this long because I consider our years of friendship unlike you who is an ingrate!"Will laughed again, a sound that gave off sparks of hatred."If you don't tell your boss to withdraw the lawsuit, I assure you I won't be sending a video next time, I'll deliver her dead body as a package to your apartment."The screen went off."Ah!" Mason suddenly went berserk."Mason," Ben rushed to him but he convulsed like he was losing his mind which made Ben hesitate mo
"Okay, thank you very much. I'll ask the finance team to settle your additional bonuses tomorrow. Expect a credit alert from me," Alan was beaming with smiles as he ended the call.He looked up at the two young men in front of him and his smile widened."Jack, this old man apologizes for doubting you in the past. To think that I thought you had no potential to resolve this tricky issue. Tell me, son. How did you manage to get them to withdraw the case?"It felt like it has been a decade since Jack last saw his father smile. His exhaustion from these past few days was gone in an instant.He looked at Will who didn't have a happy face like theirs and turned back to his father."Father, Will had a trump card in his hands. We only resorted to it at the last minute.""Last minute!" Alan slammed his hand on the table but the smile didn't diminish from his face. "I almost had a heart failure. Why wait for so long?"But before he could get a response, he quickly added,"Ensure to keep all trace
Adam's blood ran cold as they watched the scene unfold in front of them. Ben had less reaction because he had seen worse at the training camps.Jed just had to clench his fists to avoid charging towards these sons of a bitch. He didn't want to mess up the well devised plan they made earlier. They all remained still till the thugs left one after the other which was a hell of a wait.As soon as the coast was clear, Jed ran to the beach. The woman's body was still floating close by since she was thrown into it not quite long.Splash!He waded into the water which was cold in distinction to the normal warm temperature during day time.With great difficulty, he carried the tied up woman and waded back to the shore where Adam and Ben waited for him.'Ping!' Vendetta chimed.'User has earned two reward points for performing a good deed.''User's current reward points: 6.'"Shit! It is her. Those callous psychos!" Adam cursed as Jed dropped the woman he had rescued and they recognized her as
