MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Shop Incident
The crowd watching the scene murmured at Mason's interference to settle the problem away from the public's eyes. Those who had been quiet instantly protested moving towards the shop.“Why are you telling the store owner to address the issues inside his shop?” A spectator grumbled, showing his disapproval of Mason's decision. The rest of the crowd instantly backed up the statement.“Are you ashamed to settle this here? Is it because you don't have the money to pay for what the boy destroyed?” Another voice chimed in.“He is acting all high and mighty; I bet he is going to beg the shop owner not to call the cops on the boy,” another voice muttered.“I am sure child services would take him away,” another one added.Mason was disappointed; they were more interested in the drama than helping the boy. He ignored the crowd's rant and glanced in the direction where Sonia sat patiently waiting for him. He proceeded into the shop, nudging the door and shutting it with the close sign. The crowd
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Take Anything You Want
The shop was filled with silence, and apart from the rasping breath of the store owner, the only noise came from the crowd who stood outside the store watching from the transparent glass; most of them had turned on their camera to video the scene but none interfered. Mason's gaze pinned the store owner to the ground, and his aura suffocated him. The man could tell that Mason wasn't going to let him go until he completed his promise of either breaking his hand or his leg."Please, I made a mistake. Alright! I was foolish to throw a bottle at a child, and I regret it now, but please don't hurt my hand or my leg. I also have kids!” The man whimpered, crawling backward, but Mason's long stride closed in on the space, and when his eyes dropped to the man's leg, the owner shrieked. “Please don't do it; I'm the breadwinner of my family!” He yells in pain and frustration.Mason raised his gaze to the man's pale face, mixed with sweat and tears. He halted his step as the man’s back pressed ag
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Offered A Drink
Mason walked to the store's exit and nudged the door open. The crowd standing behind the transparent glass divided with the open door, adjusting their gaze from the figures inside the store to Mason, who ignored their curiosity and the pending questions that spread through the cold night. “What did I miss? Is the show over?” A stranger joined the crowd and inquiredOne of the spectators nodded, pointing to Mason's retreating figure as he walked toward the parked car across the street. "That man must have settled it,” the voices replied with subtle disappointment.When nobody appeared to be certain, they shifted their attention back to the store, where the woman and the boy stood, waiting for the store owner to package their groceries.Meanwhile, Mason approached the car with Sonia still sitting in the driver seat. She adjusted her gaze from him to the directions he was coming from, and when she noticed the crowd was slowly disassembling, she returned her gaze to Mason, strapping on t
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Jack And Carol
The group glanced at themselves before diverting their attention to Mason, who sat calmly with the mockery having zero effect on him. Jack leaned forward with a mocking gaze, expecting Mason to bash him a reply, but Mason, with an expressionless face, took a bottle of water placed on the table by the restaurant staff. After tilting the plastic cover, he glanced at the man and said, “From the few seconds I met you, I started wondering when you were going to shut your mouth,” Mason said in a calm tone, his reply sending chills through the room. Jack, who was stunned like the rest of the group, glanced at Mason, and he quickly replaced his expression, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of embarrassing him.Jack scoffed and shook his head. "So you would rather allow a woman to take your drink for you, huh? I knew you were a coward,” he added.Mason raised the bottle, cheering to him. “Sorry to burst your bubbles, Jack, but I'm not a coward, nor am I drunk. I just don't feel like dr
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Accusations
Carol was caught off guard by Mason's interruption. His cold eyes laser at her, seizing the attention of the group, which halted the whispers threatening to spread around, and they locked their gaze on him. Coral clamps her palm, feeling his gaze piercing into her skin. Mason could see right through her facade, and when she scanned his face, she saw the visible irritation her words had caused. The accusations she had made were a lie and were based on Jealousy, but Carol showed no remorse, ignoring the impact the news would have on Sonia’s image.Jack, who also heard the statement, wore a stunned expression, adjusting his eye to Sonia, and when Sonia didn't cast a glance at them, he leaned back, trapped in his thoughts, wondering if Carol's words were true, but before he could dwell on it, Mason's voice dragged him back to reality.“You are despicable! What kind of person would spread a terrible lie just because they are jealous?" Mason asked, and Carol, with a raised brow, was about t
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Sonia's Retaliation
Everyone except for Mason and Sonia was astonished to see the image of her place under an article addressing the information about the new dean of students at Aleric University. The fact that Carol thought that Sonia wouldn't be able to attain a job as a lecturer in the school but ended up being the school dean sent more shock to her bones.“Oh my God, Sonia is a staff at the university!" A girl exclaimed, and the rest of the people sharing similar expressions raised their gazes to stare at each other. The accusation Carol spread was eradicated, and the room was filled with discussion of Sonia getting a job at the university, which has caused many heartbreaks to applicants whose applications were rejected.“Oh my God, I can't believe the dean of Aleric University is my colleague!” A voice beam reads between the published article's lines.Another boy, who was also reading the article, chimed in. “My chance of getting a job there would be higher.”"I am closer to Sonia than any of you,
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Making A Stop
The revelation of the Higs family forsaking Carol and her family left her in a destructive state. The new soar in the air once filled with thrill and excitement, and the group surrounded and consoled her as she cried helplessly. Sonia, who hadn't been emotionally present at the reunion, was the first to walk towards the room's exits, and Mason, not intending to overstay his welcome, also stood to his feet and trailed behind her, leaving the group's consoling sound to Carol.When they arrived at the existence of the restaurant, the night air graced their skin, and Mason raised his eye to the dark, predicting it was going to rain. With the valet out to get Sonia's car, Mason glanced at her and said. “Miss.Sonia Why didn't you say anything from the beginning, allowing Carol to say and think about you?” He asked, speaking to her for the first time since they came to the restaurant.A small smile appeared on her face. “It isn't the first time she has done something like that, and besides,
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Meeting Her Brother
“What?!” Mason asked and adjusted his gaze from Sonia to the man, waiting for her to exit the car. “That's my brother,” she repeated, staring at his stunned face, and when he understood his ears weren't playing games with him, the little story she had shared with him when he arrived at her place played back in his mind. Mason averted his gaze back to the man standing in the light, and even when he silently prayed, she wasn't referring to the man as her biological brother; he knew his prayers could never be answered due to the resemblance on the man’s face. Sonia unfastened her seat belt, attracting Mason's attention. “What are you doing?” He asked, subtle worries lacing his voice. “I need to settle this once and for all,” she replied with a straight face. The rage in her eyes told him it wasn't the first time her brother had tried the incident. “Let me come with you,” he said, unfastening his seat belt, but Sonia shook her head, her face now washed with worry. “No, you can't, Mas

The Ventilator
The aftermath of the gunshots made the air thicken with tension, each second stretching longer. Mason drops a lazy gaze on a figure trembling on the cold floor. Though it was his first time firing a gun, his hand remained unshaken by the kickback.Meanwhile, Anthony, whose face was drained of color, had fear etched across his features. He instinctively raised his trembling hands to check for any signs of pain or blood.When he realized the bullet had missed him, the horror on his face began to dissipate, replaced by a nervous smile that barely masked the relief washing over him.“I thought you really shot me,” he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “I knew you didn't have the gutss to—”Bang! A second shot soars through the air, followed by the screams of Anthony, who panned at his legs in horror. The hole close to his leg made him raise his gaze to Mason. “What the hell! You could have shot my leg!” he screamed, his voice laced with panic as he shot Mason an incredulous glanc
Hostage
At the entrance of Heaven Institution, several students were ushered out of the building. Meanwhile, Mason, aware of the danger, pushed his way through the crowd and entered the narrow hallway. When he reached a T-junction, he scanned the area, letting out a brief sigh. Just as he was about to make a decision on which path to take, a desperate voice rang out. “Help!”Mason, with a skipped heartbeat, turned in the direction of the sound. He noticed several staff members fleeing from the east wing of the building. As he caught a glimpse of their expressions, he saw pure fear etched on their faces.Without hesitation he dashed through the hallway, and as he got closer, the voice became familiar.“P… please let me go!” The voice pleaded, causing Mason to increase his speed. When he arrived at the scene, his heart skipped another beat. Anthony, wearing a frown, held a gun to a student’s head.“Elizabeth!” he muttered, remembering she was the student who eagerly gave him direction during
Heaven Institution
Mason arriving at the Heaven institution, exited his car with a swift motion. He shut the door with a soft sound and then averted his gaze to survey the environment. His expression darkened as the figure who had ignited his anger was nowhere to be found. "Where the hell are you Anthony!" He growls, understanding Anthony must have found another way into the premises to avoid security. Mason's eyes flickered back toward the school entrance, where two female staff members stood having a conversation. They cast their curious glances in his direction, and they adjusted their pose when they realized he was the young billionaire the school was murmuring about a few weeks ago. Mason, whose alignment was different from theirs, ignored their smile and paced into the building, masking his anxious expression.“Mr. Williams,” a familiar voice called out, breaking through his thoughts. Mason turned to see a security personnel approaching him, a welcoming smile plastered on his face.“Good mornin
Unexpected Accident
“Come on, Haley, pick up the damn phone!” Mason muttered under his breath. His heart raced with every ring, and just like the thousand times before, the call dragged on and inevitably went to voicemail. The thought of her not answering gnawed at him, tightening the knot of anxiety in his stomach. Mason swiped his hand across the air. “Emoji,” he called, and the celestial system was displayed in front of him with emojis floating at the top right corner.“What can I do for you today?” Emoji asked, pulling Mason's gaze from the rearview mirror. The loud sirens, which had been soaring through the street, were still on his tail.The policeman, who had noticed the car zooming with a speed above the speed limit, stayed on his tail, waving for him to pull over, but Mason, who had limited time, was adamant about his instructions and stepped on the gas, prompting a full chase.Ignoring the cop, Mason turned to the emoji, “I want information on possible accidents around the city within this ti
The Attack
The sound of sirens reverberated through the busy streets. Pedestrians walking by averted their gaze to the military convoy. Drivers caught off guard by the unexpected traffic either exited their vehicles or craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the scene.“What is going on?” a young woman asked. Her brow furrowed in concern as she spotted more than a dozen militants moving towards the facility. Their stern expressions electrified the urgency of the moment."If there are a lot of soldiers on the road, it usually means something bad is happening," another person replied, their voice laced with anxiety as they watched the convoy of military vehicles rumble through.“That's true. I heard there was a robbery,” another added.“A robbery?! I thought this place was more secure than a bank!”Several gossip roamed through the onlookers as the military personnel cleared the path.Meanwhile, Mason and the Celestial Assassin noticed the traffic and decided to take a short detour into town. Ba
New Deal 2
The entire room fell silent and Mason turned to Miranda, who nodded before exiting the surveillance room. Outside the building, she wore a medical badge alongside a first aid kit then made her way toward the main gate. When Mr. Anthony's men noticed her presence, they raised their guns at her, prompting Mason to pick up his phone.“If a single scratch appears on her body, I'm pulling out of the deal and coming after you myself,” Mason warned, disconnecting the line before Mr. Anthony could respond.Caught off guard by the sudden threats, he quickly waved his hand, instructing his men to stand down.Without hesitation, Miranda approached the injured man with a first aid kit and worked to control the bleeding. Once she had finished, she helped the injured staff member back to the building while the others returned with the container housing the viruses.“Open the gate,” Mason instructed, turning to see the staff staring at him in shock.“Sir, are we really letting them go?” One of the c
New Deal
Except for the celestial assassin, the staff stared at Mason with eyes filled with astonishment. The facility negotiator, who was now standing at the corner of the room, also turned her gaze in his direction.“Who on earth is this guy?” she whispered, meeting the stunned gaze of the commander, who was also surprised by how Mason knew that the person she had been negotiating with on the phone wasn’t in charge.“Good day to you, Mr.?” Mason asked, shifting his gaze across the monitor to see the chaotic scene unfolding outside the truck. He could see the robbers taking their positions with their guns pointed in different directions.“I didn't take the phone to get familiar with whoever you are!” Mr. Anthony shouted, his voice echoing with frustration as he opened the driver seat. With a snap of his fingers, he signaled his men, who quickly circled the truck and pulled out two men in facility uniforms. The robbers roughly shoved the men to their knees, pressing a gun to each of their he
Robbers Demand
With the siren blaring through the building, chaos filled the entire space. Mason and the celestial assassin, now ushered to the back of the room, watched as the staff hurried around, trying to come up with a solution.“P…please believe me, I have no choice!” Mr. Umar's voice echoed through the closed door as several bulky security personnel wearing red berets dragged him away. Mason, who had been patiently observing the chaos from the surveillance room, glanced at the woman who was whispering to the commander.“Commander!” the woman yelled, her face pale as she dropped the phone from her hands. Mason, observing her, could see the fear evident in her expression.“Yes, what is it? Have they made their demands?” the commander asked, his eyes fixed on the screen displaying the location of the front gate. The entire fence surrounding the building was completely sealed and electrified by the device mounted on it, designed to prevent anyone from entering or exiting the compound during a red
Surveillance Room
After redirecting their path to the second floor of the building, they made their way toward the command center, which was Mason's original destination. The commander, taking the lead, swiped his card on the sensor and nudged the door open.Several curious eyes turned in their direction, and before anyone could raise to offer their greeting, the commander waved his hand, brushing off their gesture with a casual dismissal.“Good day everyone. As you all know, we have important guests among us today. Please answer any of their questions and treat them well,” he said, then nodded at Mason.“Hello everyone, We apologize for the inconvenience, but as you know, we cannot enter the BSL-4, so we will be observing from here." Mason added, prompting those sitting in front of their screens to adjust their positions.With the commander giving the go-ahead, the celestial assassin cast across the room, filling their eyes with live footage from the BLS4 while secretly keeping an eye on surveillance
