Eric took a long pause. He thought; what is one thing in this world that boys are better at than girls?

Liana just stood by, looking at him lazily. She looked so bored she could practically yawn.

He said he was going to challenge her to something yet he doesn't even know what he wants to challenge her to. Tch! Pathetic.

"Should I help?" Her soft voice sounded arrogant to Eric so he frowned and shook his head.

Just when he thought he was going to lose face, his phone vibrated. He brought it out and saw that one of his online gaming team members had sent a message.

[Captain, the training match is starting. Where are you?]

Just like that, a switch went off in his head. Looking at Liana smugly, he announced,"I challenge you to a game of MMORPG. Are you up for the challenge or not?"

Liana looked momentarily confused. Which of the RPGs? There were a lot of RPG games.

But Eric mistook her confused look for a scared one. He snorted smugly. He guessed right. Most girls don't have experience i

    "Angels must have descended," He mocked and wanted to exchange high-five with Liana. But remembering her OCD, he refrained.Eric's face was as dark as soot. He couldn't even imagine how his teammates would be reacting now so he didn't dare unmute the mic."Shut up. There are still two rounds to go," He seethed."Round Two!" The desktop chimed in agreement."I won't go easy on you this time senior," Liana's words fueled his anger at losing to her. He didn't say a word but he snorted. Isn't it because he was distracted that she had the chance to win? He would show her who the boss is!Ben watched the game excitedly and forgot to send the message he typed earlier. Less than five minutes later, the screen displayed 'K.O' again. Chats icons soon flooded the top layer of the desktop screens.

    "He must be out of town. He mentioned that to me sometime ago," Alan made an excuse, unsuspecting his personal assistant.He didn't notice that the lady heaved a sigh of relief secretly. At least, this means her lie would be hidden and not be discovered so easily."That's the least I can do. That impatient woman would have to wait till he gets back."Alan already guessed it was because of Finn, Anna was coming to the company to cause trouble frequently."Or perhaps, I should just send a message to her private number," He brought out his phone but the mobile was snatched out in the next minute.His old, shrewd eyes squinted at the P.A who quickly said,"Chairman, the doctor said you should rest so as not to delay your improvement. You are not doing that. Besides, Madam was given a tight warning at the company the last time she came."She turned around to dish out some food, not disclosing how she made the guards throw Anna out ruthlessly."So if she has a little bit of shame in her, she

    Jed wanted to say something but because he had been unconscious for so long, his throat was dry and the only thing that came out was a croaky cough. "Forgive us," Ben rushed forward to pour out a cup of water for him. Only after he had two more cups was he able to speak."How long have I been unconscious?" His voice was still hoarse and low but it was audible."For some hours I guess. It's late now and we've been monitoring your temperature just like the nurse asked us to.""Yes, thankfully, you've stopped burning up. We just didn't expect you would start shivering and eventually call out those weird names," Eric shrugged. "Would you like to eat some porridge? It's perfect for people in your condition."Jed looked at them strangely. Because his throat hurt with the words he said earlier, he didn't want to talk but his question was written all over his face.Ben and Eric laughed anxiously. "We didn't prepare it."Jed paused. Did Adam cook again?? As if they knew what he was thinking,

    "You guys did well," The coach patted them on the back. "But don't let your guard down. Remember, that is only the selection round. There is still going to be the elimination round."The boys nodded and drained their bottles of water quickly, trying to hide their nervousness. Although they have prepared hard for this day, facing other experts from other colleges made them almost lose their grips. Thankfully, Justin was there to back them up. Without the former archery champion who was overthrown by Jed, they don't know how they would have made through the rounds."Next up, the 10m air rifle event! Blah... Blah... Blah," the commentator's voice faded away as the coach looked around trying to select the ones perfect for the event.While he was at this, the door swung open. Jed stood at the doorway, his hair slightly disheveled.The kit they had chosen looked good on all the boys and made them appear even more dashing but once Jed arrived, they all completely pale in comparison.Perhap

    One of the team members walked up to the door and opened it. He suddenly went silent and stood transfixed at the door. Others behind him couldn't see who the person at the door was because his huge figure was practically blocking out all view. Jed wasn't paying attention to whoever it was because he was too busy listening to the coach give the pros and cons of the weightlifting event. He was also attentive so as not to miss any tip that could be useful when a familiar voice asked, "I want to see Jedidiah. Is he here?"Not only him, other boys also glanced over to the door. The voice was surprisingly pleasant and had caught the attention of many.The boy at the door finally gave way and others reacted like they have never seen a girl before.Because the one that stood at the doorway in simple shorts and body-hug top was too beautiful. They'd seen different gorgeous girls at the college before but the one at the doorway had this kind of refreshing beauty which was rare.Unlike other

    "Alright John, let's welcome our representatives for the last event," one of the commentators interrupted."We already know who the winner is going to be but who will refuse a good show."This sentence was heard by many as the crowd were too busy cheering for Jed. The last event was the fifty meters rifle event. Lu Chen's eyes narrowed. These commentators were a bit too confident in Jed. What were they trying to insinuate by saying that they already know who the winner is going to be?This was his field and no one else would beat him at it. He cast a disdainful look at Jed but the latter was completely oblivious to this because he was impatiently waiting for the event to start.He was almost running late for the time given for the National Stock Contest.A beep sound came up and all the shooters assembled in front of their respective target lanes.Bang!Bang!Bang!One after the other, they began to fire their shots.

    "Is it okay if I drop you off at the estate first before taking young master Jetti to the conference center?" The chauffeur asked as the car came to a stop at a crossroad due to the traffic lights regulating.Jed nodded. It would waste time but he couldn't just abandon his friends. However, Ben spoke up, "Never mind. We'll get off here. I already hired a designated driver from Uber."He raised his hand to show the tracking device on the phone that indicated the driver was nearby. Whatever Jed had to attend dressed so formally was important so they couldn't mess that up."See you later," Eric waved as they closed the door. Jed gave them a grateful smile and waved back."Boss—""To the conference center. Don't exceed your speed limit but get me there as soon as possible."They got to the major conference center in Philadelphia some minutes later and Jed got out of the car. He waited for the chauffeur to drive the vehicle to the car park as he was going to drive home himself later. Whil

    Jed was speechless. He tilted his head and reached up to stroke his nose, an act he does subconsciously but suddenly remembered he had a mask on.'Aren't you going to assist this humble user of yours?' he asked cheekily. 'Ping!''Vendetta believes this user will do just fine.'Jed facepalmed. This dang system spoke so innocently that it was almost hilarious."Listen attentively to the rules! The security guards are waiting to throw out anyone that doesn't abide by the rules. So even if you are a Baron, a wealthy mogul or magnate, your identities are only effective outside this place."The faces of the traders changed after hearing M.C's words. But they couldn't refute. After all, it was true. They can only act on their identities outside the conference center."Each trader is going to be given a total of a hundred grand. You only have twenty minutes to purchase as many antiques as you can."The crowd murmured again hearing the short period of time given for the event. But what did the

    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!'
