MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Press
The crowd filled with anticipation rushed towards the lines of exotic cars. The journalist and their cameramen immediately began recording and flashing their cameras from a distance, and right away the tires of the cars halted at the entrance of DSI. The men in black suits exited their vehicle, creating a secure path for the Williams family out of the reach of journalists pushing forward for attention.Haley was the first to exit the Rolls-Royce, followed by her personal security, which surrounded her as a second protection. The press turned their attention to her. They struggled between the security line and could only stretch their microphones forward to ask various questions."Ms. Hakey, over!” Different voices called, and when she glanced across the curious face of the media, she pointed at the man who had been struggling among other journalists. The rest instantly made space for him to speak, sending silence through the crowd. “Is it true your brother is coming to Dream Space Inn
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Entering DSI
Mason's eyes roamed around as they made their way through the private entrance exclusively for emergency use by the Williams family. Shortly along the hallway, they approached a metallic door with a restricted access sign towering above them. The head of security, leading the way, turned to the only person with access to the lock.Grace pulled out two security cards from her bag and handed one to Mason with his name and the Williams logo created on it. There were only three cards, and Haley was the other person with access to the emergency entrance.Mason slipped his card into his wallet, while Grace handed hers to the head of security, who slid it across the mounted sensor. The door with a green beep departed, revealing a private elevator, and unlike the other elevators, which were meant for the staff, the Willaims private elevator skipped through the first lobby meant for security checks and other activity before providing entrance into the second floor of the main building.After a
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM A Call From Dr.Lukeman
Mason confidently walked out of the lobby and turned into a quieter hallway with fewer people. He checked his buzzing phone and answered the incoming call.“Mr.Williams?” Dr. Lukeman's voice came through immediately the line connected, giving Mason a hint as he could sense the urgency lacing the doctor's tone."Dr. Lukeman, I didn't expect to hear from you so soon," he replied, feigning ignorance of the situation. The man on the other end of the line felt his heart leap to his throat, thinking Mason was unaware of the trending rumors soaring through the internet. Even the hospital was flooded with media eagerly anticipating an explanation from Williams Central Hospital.The director, who had received instructions from Mrs. Williams, had informed the medical staff in charge of the trial not to provide any information relating to the trial to the media as it would draw more attention, which was the last thing it needed.“I… "I'm sorry, Mr. Williams, I failed you, and somehow the media f
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Couple
As Mason walked towards the elevator, he noticed that the two women's footsteps suddenly stopped when he passed them. The whispers and sudden gasps made it clear that they had realized who he was and now had stunned expressions written on their faces. He deliberately avoids making eye contact with them, knowing that it would confirm their fear of him overhearing their earlier conversation.Mason approached the metal door and tapped at the button, prompting it to open. When he was about to step inside, the figure of someone brushed past his shoulders, nudging him to the side.“Excuse you,” the man who bumped into him said, not casting a glance at Mason. With a furrowed brow, Mason glanced at the man, who was busy scrolling through several images from his iPad to the lady next to him. The girl, also not glancing at him, clings to the man with a smug face as she whispers into his ear.Mason shook his head and glanced at his watch and realized he was going to be late for the meeting. He i
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Project X
The door closed, leaving Mason to listen to the sound of the elevator. He glanced at the iPad, which turned on as he swiped his finger across the large screen. Above the images that display on the device were labeled as project X. The details didn't interest Mason until his eyes swiped across the name of the company in charge of the project. The name DSI was boldly written on top of the pictures of buildings, which Mason assumed were from Central Aleric due to the familiar terrain he had seen before. [Make sure you're secretive about this and don't make any mistakes that would drag attention!] A text pops across the iPad screen from a contact, which the man from the elevator saved as ‘Dad’. Mason ignored the text and proceeded to read through the project details. Based on the information provided, it appeared that DSI planned to launch a new project and was currently searching for a suitable location. Mr. Garry, who seemed to be in charge of it, had chosen the Central Aleric city.
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM DSI New Ceo
“If I remember correctly, Central Aleric isn't a place where a new project can easily be started due to the lack of available land for constructing new buildings. It's unlikely that the owners of existing buildings would be willing to sell, since no one would want to miss such an opportunity in that neighborhood," she said with a plain expression.A lady sitting on the right side of the table nodded her head. “I have inspected the same environment for weeks, and no building owners are willing to take such a leap, Mr. Garry, even if it means doubling the value of those buildings,” the lady said with curiosity.Mr. Garry nodded his head with a broad smile, attracting everyone's attention, including Mason, who was waiting for the explanation he was going to provide.Mason had looked into the location he discovered from the iPad and had found out the location that Mr.Gary had picked was a middle-class building stretching through the Central of Aleric City. Most people occupying such build
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM FBI Agents
Mr. Garry, caught in a tense revelation about Grace's accusations and the FBI's imposing presence, stumbled backward as his chair crashed to the ground. The other board members, visibly taken aback, quickly distanced themselves from the unfolding drama, shaking their heads and muttering words that Mason assumed were words of disappointment."You!" Mr. Garry's voice quivered as he daggered his gaze at Mason. "What have you done?!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with a mixture of shock and anger. Mason nonchalantly turned towards him, fully aware that the man was like a wounded dog with nowhere to escape.Mason let out a sigh. "I simply revealed what your intentions are for the company's new project. As I've mentioned before, my mother established this legacy on the principles of transparency, and that's the course it will continue to take," he replied. All the board members who had been reluctant to acknowledge his presence earlier instantly bobbed their heads in agreement with his wor
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Mr.Gerry's Accomplices
Mason, enjoying the scene, returns to his seat, watching as the girl stares at Mr. Garry, who already knows what her response was. He scoffed as the look on her face wasn't the same confident one she wore on the elevator.“That's him,” she said, pointing at Mr. Garry, who felt his legs go jelly at her response. The leader of the FBI turns to the other agents behind him, giving them a nod before dragging Mr. Garry outside the room.“Just so you know, all the money you have stolen from the company has been retrieved by the FBI, including every asset both in the name of you and your son's, leaving you with nothing,” Grace said, and the man speechlessly dragged his head towards her direction before staring at his son. Clinton, understanding his father's unsaid question, nodded his head.“We lost everything, father,” he said, dropping his head to the ground, expecting a response from the man but was shocked when Mr. Garry passed out from the revelation. Other agents immediately rushed towa

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
