[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
"Eric, are you alright? Can you handle this yourself?" Ben spoke before Jed could stop him. Screech!The car came to a halt. Eric's silence filled the car with an oppressive air. Ben was startled. He was used to Eric being jovial and has never really seen this type of scary Eric before.His mother's words must have hurt him."I'll handle it," Eric spoke through gritted teeth and got out of the car. Jed gave the chauffeur signal to drive off even though Ben was still worried.There was nothing they could do as of this point as it had now gotten to a family matter and wouldn't be good for outsiders to meddle in it.They didn't hear anything from Eric even the next day, they had to go to school alone. Students who were used to seeing them walk as a trio quickly noticed Eric's absence.But they were too occupied with the upcoming college festival to care about Eric's absence.Jed found out later that it was a complete waste of time to have even come to school as there were no academic ac
Jetti's HQJack's expression didn't change seeing the letter of resignation in front of him. He only looked up and stared at Erin's pale face.She was avoiding looking at him and he noticed she seemed to have lost weight. He looked back at the resignation letter. This was just one of the numerous ones he has received today.Since he hasn't been able to save the company from falling deeper into the bottomless abyss, the employees were beginning to resign one after the other fearing if they remain there they might be caught up in the disaster.Jack was upset but he wouldn't let it show. That was what they wanted from him. For him to surrender but that he will never do!"Isn't this your lifelong dream Miss Erin? You give up so easily because of a little trial," He sneered.Erin's eyes stung but she refused to react. This man insulted not only her dignity but her pride. If she remains here, she will not only be hurting herself but going against her principles."Just sign in the
"May I have your attention please!" The host who was a final year student called out again and the students gathered around, dazzling beautifully.The host held up a small notepad and smiled. "I will now announce the results of the contest's polling units. As we all know, the polls have ended and closed on the school's forum."The students nodded in agreement. They had realized they couldn't vote anymore earlier."In case you missed it, the contests included polling units for the college beauty queen, college hottest hunk, perfect college couple and college admirable scholar."The students cheered, happily waiting for the announcement of the results."And we have all been given a fair chance to nominate our favorites and vote for them," The host continued."Just say the results already!" An inpatient student yelled, eliciting laughter from others."Alright, first on my list is the post of the college beauty queen," he flipped his notepad. "On my list, our top three with the highest vot
Eric wandered around the party through the students who were dancing wildly. Some had even changed their outfits to skimpy ones.Couples were beginning to grind against each other on the dance floor revealing a sensual sight.Eric frowned. Where was Scarlett? He hasn't seen her once since he got here. He only has to talk to her once and he'll be out of her."Aw!"He suddenly bumped into someone."I'm sorry. Are you—?" His sentence stops mid way when he recognizes the person in front of him. "Matthew? What are you doing here?"Matthew was timid and it seemed out of place for someone like him to be at this kind of party.Matthew smiled and hugged him. "How have you been? Why have you been absent from school?""I'll tell you about it later," Eric's eyes darted around."Are you searching for someone?""Yes. Do you know Scarlett? Have you seen her?""Of course I do. Isn't she the second nominee for the perfect college's couple?" Matthew pointed up the stairs. "I saw her go up there with her
"Jed... Ugh, hold on," Liana groaned from his weight and led him back to the bar only to see Ben also clutching the counter in pain."Ben... What's wrong with you too?" She could barely hold Jed up and couldn't reach out to Ben.The latter also groaned in pain without responding. Liana looked around. The party was in full swing and she wouldn't get any help if she called out.Eric was also nowhere to be found. How would she handle the boys on her own?"Huh, Ben, what's wrong with you?" Matthew suddenly appeared. Liana didn't recognize him but she knew she had seen him hang out with the boys couple of times so she said,"Quick, help him up. My bodyguards are outside and will be able to help out."Matthew nodded and reached out to help Ben. Despite the latter being in pain, he still protested in aversion. He didn't really like Matthew so how could he let himself get touched by the person he loathes?"He doesn't seem to like you very much," She said helplessly. Matthew nodded with a timi
"What—" Jed's sentence was cut off midway because the chills increased and his eyes drooped. He just wanted to let go.His body system was weakening and shutting down slowly. The pain was unbearable.Just like that time where he had been shot in the rain, he wanted to close his eyes and fall into that dark, bottomless abyss.As if to serve as a boost to his morale, Vendetta chimed.Ping![User has to remain conscious. You have just one more day to complete your ultimate task!]Jed bit back a bitter laugh. What does the ultimate task matter now? In the first life, he strived but still lost.This time, he planned everything so meticulously but still failed to the enemies.Splash!"Ugh," Jed's eyes flew open as he was doused with cold water. The chill grew worse and his body froze.He trembled violently. Anna's lips twisted with a smile, "You don't fall asleep until I tell you to."Jed was barely conscious now but he still heard her words."Selena, that slut tormented me when she was aliv
As Jed went breathless, he didn't know at that moment the room was invaded."Ha! Who are you people? Guards!" Anna yelled as so many armed men walked in.No one could escape even if they wanted to. They grabbed all three of them even though Jack struggled,"You bastards! Let go of me! How dare you invade a private property? I'll get you all arrested!"His struggles were no match for the stronghold of the well-trained guards. He simply looked like a crown to them.Only Matthew remained calm, his eyes fixated at the door like he was expecting someone.Just like he expected, someone walked in looking fierce. Anna stopped shrieking for once and looked down at the young lady with an ethereal beauty that was quite intimidating."Who are you? Are these your dogs? If you know what's best for you, tell them to let me go this instant!"Liana didn't even react or look at her like she wasn't worth her attention. She was looking at Jed who had been freed by some other bodyguards.They had to break
