"Good, thank you," It was Jack that said this. Anna was still wiping her crocodile tears."Madam, don't be disheartened. We'll find the one that poisoned your husband soon. Good night. I apologize for ruining your sleep.""Thank you D.P.O," Anna nodded and the call ended but she didn't dare sleep again.How could Joe have been caught? Who sent the videos? Her heart was in turmoil. So someone else knows she plotted against Alan.Shit! She should have finished that old man and killed that stupid, incompetent Joe!"Mother," Jack walked in. "Do you know what this means?""We are not safe. Someone has gotten to Joe."Although Jack spoke confidently with the D.P.O just now, he was actually scared. If it weren't for the good familial relationship between them and the D.P.O, how could the man have believed there was no connection in the videos sent to them?Anna looked at him. "Don't worry about that. I will inform your uncle tomorrow. He will put an end to all these. You just have to focus o
At exactly 9: 20pm the next day, the boys walked out of Dubai International Airport having gone through all the security and personnel check-up.Some officials from the tournament were waiting at the airport to welcome the gamers. Although the boys had traveled for almost twenty hours as they had to make a stop at London since there was no direct flight between Philadelphia and Dubai, there was no sign of fatigue on their faces.This could be the privilege gotten from traveling first class."As-salam alaykum," Some of the officials waiting to receive Eric greeted them with folded hands. The boys except Jed didn't know what to do or say so they just folded their hands in return and nodded awkwardly.Only Jed answered, "Wa ʿalaykum s-salam."Eric and Ben looked at him startled, not understanding a single word he said. But the officials were pleased to see that a foreigner was familiar with their greeting.Some handled the luggages and quickly left to attend to welcome other gamers tha
The news didn't disappoint him. His thin lips twisted in a smile. He was willing to let them go if they gave up the company but Anna and Jack deliberately forced him to a tight corner every time so that he couldn't help but retaliate. Ping! He received a message from Irwin. It had actually been sent some hours ago but because his phone was on flight mode in order not to be disturbed, he didn't receive it until now. [How is it boss?] [Good. You did a good job] It was around 2pm in Philadelphia and Irwin wasn't too occupied with work so he quickly replied. [Boss, the Jetti's would go bankrupt at this point. We barely managed to keep them from sinking in deep waters and now that I've withdrawn the resources that managed to make them afloat...] Jed's eyes narrowed. [Are you worrying about them?] Even though Jed was miles away, Irwin felt a feeling of chill when he read the message. His back stiffened and he hurriedly explained. If the young master misunderstood his opinion, he mig
At 11am the following day, Kreb Center, the biggest gaming institute located in the UAE was so filled that if the security didn't deny people access, there would barely be any space left to breathe in the hall.The center was flashing colorfully with neon lights as the audience shouted their favorite gaming team.Jed was sitting at the front row of the upper floor so he could see everything that was going on below."Phantoms!""We love you Dreggs!!!""Zurro!""Spade!"The audience were chanting different kinds of names as the schedule was displayed for the teams that would be going against each other.Jed shook his head at Ben who was also chanting along childishly and thought the gaming industry was also a good field.There seems to be a lot of esports games lovers these days unlike before that parents would count it as children being lazy and wasteful.Since he was into tech and Meta has only been developing apps for now, perhaps he should have a meeting with the main core of the pr
"You...!"Erin couldn't find words to rebut him so she just acted without thinking, rushed up to him and slapped him.Pah!The crisp sound brought her back to reality. She looked at her hands and took a few steps back in horror.Although she was scared, she hid it and pointed at him. "I am at least a few years older than you. You should learn how to talk to your elders with respect.""Do you know even before I graduated from university my dream has been to work in one of the biggest companies in Philadelphia? I won't let anyone even a pigheaded, foolish, young master like you ruin that for me."Having said this, she turned around and hurried to leave. Jack smirked darkly, wiping off the drop of blood from his lips while wincing slightly.He stood up and caught up with her with just some large strides."Ah!"Erin shrieked as he caught the hand she had placed on the knob and pulled her back.A click sound indicated he locked the door and Erin trembled."You... What are you trying to do?
Jed arched his brow as he dusted off some imaginary dust from his shirt that was wrinkled from Zayn's grip just now, waiting for the latter to say something.However, Vendetta chose this moment to chime.Ping![System has found a suitable task for the user][Minimal Task: Secure a business cooperation with Zayn Sultan][Task Level: Medium][Reward: 7RP & 3AP][Time: 1 hour 30 mins][Accept/Reject]'I accept,' Jed smirked, the given time was enough time to secure a business cooperation with Zayn Sultan.Ping![Your time starts now!]It was at this point, Zayn clicked his fingers and pointed at him curiously, "Aren't you the boy that was said to have scored complete marks at the American national entrance college exams? You set a new record."Jed smiled a little and nodded. "You see, I'm not a stalker like you thought.""Why have you come here all the way from the States?" Zayn asked curiously."I accompanied my friends. One of them is the captain of the gaming team Cyber Warriors and
Jed itched his head with a smile which made Zayn misunderstand that he was feeling awkward."Yes, I am."Jed's eyes filled with admiration. Seeing his sparkling eyes, Zayn asked, "Do you want to venture into stocks? Do you need some pointers? I could spare some time and put you through."Jed smiled and shook his head. Zayn must have misunderstood his expression just now. He was only awed because he was getting to meet the legends of stocks one after the other.First was Lord of Stocks and now Lord Z.Zayn obviously didn't know he was the newbie trader, J.J, whose name got hung up in the hall of fame recently, shocking and causing envy in the stock market.However Jed didn't have time to explain because the host voice reverberated in the place."This is amazing!""This is incredible!""It's almost as if Cyber Warriors are playing with rage. They defeated their opponents thoroughly within a few minutes, not even giving them a chance to fight back.""The captain personally defeated three
[Total RP: 50][Total AP: 8/100][Tasks are being updated and will be refreshed soon]"Yayyyyy!!!!""Hurray!"The hall reverberated as the audience cheered, almost as if they were celebrating Jed's last minute victory however they were actually celebrating their favorite team's win.Jed looked up and clashed with Zayn's eyes. The latter simply gave him a little smile and a nod. Jed acknowledged his nod respectfully and both turned to the game.****Sunday,The tournament had gradually come to an end and the audience were teary-eyed as they watched the host announce the winner of the tournament."Let's welcome our winning champions, the Cyber Warriors on stage!"The speakers blasted with music of 'Stand Up For The Champions' and the audience subconsciously sang along with them.Everyone waved their light sticks. Eric was all smiles as he bent down to wear his medal and shook hands with one of the special guests.Chubby was already sobbing. They started as a small-time team in their dorm
