The caller paused; probably wondering why Jack's voice was lowered but he shrugged and continued with his report.

"Young master Jetti, we have collected some test samples from the hospital to aid with our investigation."

"The test results are out?" Jack asked in a false, surprised tone.

"Yes sir and some particles of Tetrodotoxin were discovered in your father's system. That poison is a contraband in this country. It's a surprise someone managed to smuggle it in and pull a fast one on the chairman!"

Jack's composure cracked a bit. He didn't expect them to find the species of the poison so soon but he had to pretend to be oblivious.

Glancing at the door like a thief trying to steal something, he questioned in a hushed tone,

"So my father was poisoned with tetrodotoxin? I have heard of that deadly poison before. I didn't expect I would come in contact with it as soon as possible. D.P.O, you have to get justice for my father!"

"We understand your grief, young master," the D.P.O sympathi

    Jed was startled awake. His gasp aroused attention from Ben and Eric. They exchanged a look and directed their gazes to him.Ever since Jed got back to class, they could feel something was bothering him. But they expected him to open up to them yet he didn't say a word."Dude, what's wrong with you?" Eric asked as he submitted their notes to the H.O.C for the lecturer's assessment.

Why would that strange, young girl address him as brother?Who was she and what sort of a dream was that?He really felt frustrated. There were so many mysteries he wanted to solve but had no solution to."Jed," Ben shook him, snapping him back to reality."Huh?"

    Ping! Failure! Ping! Failure! Failure! Jed almost pulled off his headphones in frustration. He keeps trying to penetrate into the broken footage, trying to retrieve it and repair it but all to no avail. Some minutes have passed now and he still isn't able to retrieve the deleted footage. He glanced at the screen showing the portion of footage that was occupying the CCTV camera positioned in Anna's room, he almost choked when he saw her loosening her robe, probably planning to go for a bath. Quickly, he scrambled and hurriedly shut down the camera. He didn't need to see that! 'Ping!' Vendetta chimed.

Actually, they are just a group of CEOs leading great companies and are affiliated with the Luther Group of companies.Originally, Jetti's were the top but after the crisis they faced, they have recently declined. Naturally, Luther is supposed to take over.But with Meta Inc. doing so well after trampling on the Jetti's, that wasn't so possible and Luther's could only maintain the second position for now.At first, Chairman Luther thought if he were to collaborate with Meta, it would be a beneficial cooperation to them but since Meta inc has been so rude and not able to show some respect, he wouldn't hesitate to treat them like the rival they are!"Who does that old man of Meta think he is?

    "Can't you just keep it low and let the serious one here study?" He groaned, covering his face with the opened textbook in his hand."Eric, you are well aware news spread out on the school discussion forum yesterday that the tests that were supposed to carry on for five days will only be conducted within three days. Why are you not worried?"Eric smirked with a weird 'I am cool' smile, "Geniuses like us don't worry about short time spans.""Pfft!" Jed spat out the water in his mouth struggling to hold in his laughter.Ben didn't find this funny. He only gave Eric a cold look."Your game tournament starts Friday and ends Sunday right? That means we don't even get any time to rest as we have to leave Philadelphia the next day after the test is over. Shouldn't you act more serious?""Quit being bossy," Eric frowned. He knew he couldn't afford to slack having to deal with tests then the game tournament right after but the news—"Just look at this and you'll understand it's worth it," He h

    A timid boy with bright blond hair was standing by the table with a large book. He looked nervous and Jed couldn't help but scrutinize his appearance.Ben repeated his question, "Who are you?"Before the boy could squeak out, Eric spoke, "Oh, I know you! Aren't you the new boy?"He still couldn't understand how someone would only just join school when the school session was halfway over. They were already even writing the semester tests.The boy looked relieved that someone recognized and squeaked out a low voice."Yes, my name is Matthew. I'm new here. Can I sit with you?"There was an empty seat left at the table so Ben motioned for him to sit there. Although he didn't say anything, he still felt wary of the new boy. Call it sixth sense."I'm sorry for intruding on your lunch but I'm facing some difficulties with these questions. Could you please help me?"As he opened the book, he glanced at Jed like he has been doing since he got to the table. Jed felt this strong stare and looke

    The tied up man shivered, noticing the cold gaze the masked man was giving him while waiting for an example."Will you talk or I have to crack your head open and get the answers from you?" A bodyguard threatened menacingly.The man swallowed and lowered his gaze. After some minutes, he looked up and stubbornly insisted, "I don't know what you are talking about. I'm just a poor mechanic. How can I possess millions of dollars in my account to purchase those properties?"Jed was irked. Was this man stupid or just wanted to sacrifice himself? Is this amount enough for his silence?Jed didn't need to deal with him because one of his bodyguards stepped out and looked at the man who shrunk fearfully."Have you forgotten where we found you? You were at the casino surrounded by plenty of beauties with disgusting men trying to fawn up to you. It seems we have to reset your memory."The next moment, cries of 'ah' filled the room. The man cried out in pain as the hot metal sunk into his flesh. He

    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.

    "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.

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?

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.

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!'
