Navigating through the busy road of Aleric City, Mason slowed the car to a stop when he glimpsed at the red light that towered above them. Pedestrians across the street didn't fail to stop and admire the luxurious car underneath the traffic sign."Oh my God, that car is beautiful," A girl close by said to her boyfriend, hoping to grab his attention since he had ignored her all day. "The person must be really rich!" she added, trying to look through the tinted glass of the windshield to see the owner. The boy, who knew of his girlfriend's intention to have a conversation, was adamant about casting a look in her direction or the car, which grabbed her attention. "What do you think, babe!" The girl shrinks with irritation when her boyfriend focuses on his phone instead of her. When the boy noticed other pedestrians staring at them, he finally raised his gaze toward the car. "Oh my God! Babe, that is not just a beautiful car!" He gulped with widened eyes. “It is a limited-edition La Vo
Dusk lingered in the sky as Mason drove out of the Cleopatra villa. It was already 6:30 pm, making him wonder how fast time flies. He glanced at his phone, noting the missed calls on the screen. It was almost seven, and Helay must have called his line to remind him of the family dinner. Mason shrugged off the thought of returning her call and drove towards the WPD. "Buzz!" his phone vibrated. He was about to pick it up when he saw one vehicle trailing behind him. He didn't take it to heart until the vehicle mirrored his turn toward the WPD. Mason wasn't sure who they were, but he was sure they weren't anyone friendly."Emoji," Mason called, overtaking a taxi. The taxi driver honked and cursed at the luxurious car speeding ahead. Emoji appeared beside Mason, who had his attention focused on the road. "I think the Viper gangs are chasing me," Mason said while his eyes roamed through the crowded cars underneath the traffic light. When he saw the opening, he accelerated and attracted the
"Please, I haven't committed any crimes! I can't go to prison; I have families!" Another man fell to his knees, breaking into sweat. Their leader's eyes widened in surprise, watching as his gang members crumbled to their knees in the presence of one man. Though they were young recruits, and he had trained them to be the best, they were already defeated by the words of a man. Tobi stared at Mason, who wasn't affected by the murderous look. "Do you think bragging about a dashcam will save your life?" Tobi's voice thundered through the space. It was the first time he had been hired to beat up someone, and it didn't turn out as planned, but it seemed Tobi wasn't ready to give up.Mason was quiet. He knew the only way to crumble a gang without getting physical was to destroy them by themselves, a great plan Emoji had suggested. "Get your ass up from the ground, you fools! He is bluffing!" Kobi sneered at his apprentice, who glanced at each other as if contemplating the order.When they b
With every step Mason took, inching closer, Tobi crawled backward, shivering with fear. He could clearly see the danger lurking in Mason's eyes, which he didn't notice when his gang member was around, but now that he was at a disadvantage, everything was evident.“Please, you can't do this!” Tobi pleaded, winking at the pain in his abdomen.Mason, adamant about his words, scoffed with a knitted brow. “Of course, I can,” he growled in a dreadful tone, raising the bat above his head.Tobi's eyes mirrored his movement, and he saw the iron bat descend in one swift strike, making him scream. “P…Please stop! I haven't killed anyone! I haven't committed any crimes. This was the first time; please forgive me.” Kobi broke into tears, staring at the bat that halted mid-air above his leg. Mason was about to say something, but Kobi quickly shivered to his knees, rubbing his palms together, pleading. “I didn't want to take the deal Jacob proposed, but I needed the money,” Kobi said with tears flo
The drive to the mansion was fast and short. The men in suits bow their heads in respect as Mason navigates his way into the compound, illuminated by sophisticated street lights. Their guests' cars were parked inside the compounds. Deciding not to park the Bugatti in the garage, Mason saw a good spot and turned off the engine. He was about to exit his car when the constant vibration from his phone caught his attention.Mason slid his finger across the screen and opened the school group chat, which greeted him with numerous unread messages, with more coming in. Mason furrowed his brow since the school group chat is always quiet and is only active when there is an announcement or new gossip is going on on campus. He scrolled down, and his curious expression turned into a frown because the viral topic causing the commotion was about him and nothing about the school's activities."Mason Williams paid $62,856 for a meal!" The text that instigated other messages announced.Mason shifted hi
The contest of who would be the lucky viewer hit when Peter, one of the three musketeers, joined the stream. He wore his regular attire, and from the look of his background, Mason could tell he was at his dormitory. After adjusting to the stream, he said, "Good evening, everyone. I'm Peter from the Department of Engineering, and I will be joining the stream to answer a few questions today," he announced, muting his mic so the other ladies could speak.Stacy was the first to speak, as she had been waiting to hear from Peter about the rumor going through the university about a poor student who paid $62,856 for a meal. Most girls were curious about Mason and only wanted to confirm whether he was rich or a fraud. "Hello, Peter, I'm Stacy," the girl said, and Peter nodded in response, though he already knew who the five girls on the stream were. Every guy on campus knew they were Aleric University's beauty goddess, who attracted the attention of every male student, and Peter was no except
The comment section was going wild with shock and curiosity; even the five beauties on the stream also had their faces filled with awe and inquisitiveness. Peter, who was in his dormitory, was dumbfounded while staring at his screen, slowly comprehending the reality of receiving 10,000 stream flowers, approximately $20,000. He didn't know who the new guy, whose name is Celestian, was, and yet he gave him such an amount in one go. Peter shifted his eyes to the part where the comment was and noticed that his stream had increased from a single digit to three thousand views. “Oh my God, am I dreaming?” he muttered, not overcoming his shock.The new viewers flooded his stream with comments, attracting external viewers; When a stream earns a high amount of gift, the platform will receive notice, and its algorithm will automatically promote the stream to a wider range of people who might be interested."Oh my God, is this happening?" A viewer commented, seeing the name of the number one gif
Mason glanced at his watch; he didn't expect to spend up to thirty minutes watching the live stream, but he was satisfied with how the event turned out. He closed the car door with a soft slam before making his way to the mansion. The guards, who were posted at the entrance, saw him from a distance and bowed their heads in respect, which he reciprocated with a nod. Inside the mansion, Mason made his way to the dining room, where he heard more than one voice having a conversation. When he got closer, he could hear a masculine voice half-yelling, probably disagreeing with whomever he was talking to. Within a few minutes, Mason appears in the room, occupied by his family and other foreigners whom he assumed were his distant relative. Amidst the group were two familiar faces he remembered; one was Thomas, and the other was Jerry, who seemed to be irritated by what Grace had said. Mason shifted his gaze to his mother, who shrank her eyes, staring at Jerry, who was heaving with anger. “I
