MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Mason's Penthouse
Several eyes in the Sky High hotel lobby curiously stare at the CEO of the third most extensive broadcasting network, struggling to get an apology out of his mouth. Mr.Frank, feeling the suffocating air, glances from Mason back to Cleopatra. "I am—" he paused, clearing his throat while his hand twitched at his ideally noted tie. He opened his mouth again but couldn't voice out a word."Apologies now!" Mason's voice stiffened the air around him, and with a sigh, he instantly dropped his pride."I'm sorry for my behavior, Miss. It was inappropriate of me to do something like that, and I hope you won't take it to heart and forgive me," Mr.Frank said, making the voices in the background gasp in shock. It was familiar to the public that Mr. Frank's pride could reach the peak of a mountain.Cleopatra, who was also shocked by Mr. Frank's apology, nodded at him in acceptance, making a smile appear on Mason's face. "That wasn't hard, was it?" Mason's voice dragged Mr. Frank's attention to him,
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Cleopatra's Room
Hearing those words, Cleopatra felt Mason's piercing gaze and quickly averted her eyes to hold back the sudden smile threatening to appear on her lips. She didn't know why but felt her heart skipped a beat at those words."Don't worry, I will also keep it a secret," Cleopatra replied, shrugging off the topic as she adjusted her eyes to the calm environment and the rattling of the rain hitting the transparent penthouse walls.Mason nodded while his gaze fell to her feet, realizing she was still wearing heels. "Let's get you out of this, shall we?" he said, making Cleopatra's eyes snap at him. When Mason realized her reaction, he pointed to the floor, dragging her gaze to her feet."Oh," she muttered at the realization."Hold on to me," he added, dropping to his knees. He wrapped his palm around Cleopatra's leg and slowly took off the heels, making a soft sigh of relief escape her parted lips, feeling her feet resting on the cold floor.Cleopatra took the iPad from the nearby table with
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Shirtless Mason
Mason shook off the thought of Cleopatra eating dead in his mind. He walked through the hall, stopping at the last room, whose door was bigger than the rest he passed.Mason tilts the doorknob and pushes it open, revealing a huge space. His eyes roamed through the intensive decoration of the room, filled with several portraits of famous artists hanging on its walls. Mason paced to the end of the room and through the transparent wall, he could see the entire Aleric City. The view was marvelous, leaving a smile resting on his face. Moving away from the wall, he moved towards the king-size bed, adored by gold linings, showing it exotic features of the hotel. Mason sighs and pulls out the vibrating phone from his pocket, and without glancing at the name, he answers the call and throws it on his bed, before unbuttoning his shirt. “Mason!” the familiar voice of his twin was heard from the other end of the line, making him glance back at the phone. During the incident back at the club, Ma
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Mason Meet Cleodora
Mason's understood Cleopatra's expression and quickly changed the topic. “It's very early in the morning, are you going somewhere?” he asked, wondering how long she had been up to look this perfect in the morning.Cleopatra nodded her head and glanced at her vibrating phone. “My sister is coming to pick me up, and my parents are coming to town for a business meeting,” she replied, raising her gaze from Mason's chest to his eyes. “They barely stay in the Villa, so I need to see them before going to school,” she added.Mason nodded his head, and when Cleopatra noticed, he was staring longer than usual, she furrowed her brow and asked. “What is it?”“You are very beautiful,” the words slipped out of Mason before he could realize it. He raises his gaze to Cleopatra, whose expression remains unfazed by his words, making him wonder if she heard his statement.After a quick second, she replied “I know,” forcing back the smile that threatened to appear on her lips. She quickly shrugs at the e
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Device
Cleodora's question ignited different expressions on everyone's faces, including Mason, who mentally cracked his brain for a reply. When he realized Cleodara was still staring at him, waiting for his response, Mason cleared his throat, avoiding her sister's eyes.He was about to answer the question, but Cleopatra quickly chipped in, casting a frown at her sister, who spread a mischievous grin on her. "Cleodora, will you stop with your nonsense question!" Cleopatra warned, her eyes passing more threat than her voice contained. Cleodora, seeing her sister's expression, erupted into laughter, raising the glass of water to her lip. "Calm down, sis, I was just joking, that's all. Why are you uptight suddenly?" she asked, but Cleopatra ignored her question and dagger her eyes at her.Cleodora rolled her eyes and then turned to Mason. "You know I was joking, right?" She whispered with a grin.Glancing between the sisters, Mason nodded his head, then returned to his food without saying anyt
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Journal
Mason returns to his seat, flipping through the right weight journal, glancing at the diagrams, which start from precise and detailed skeletal sketches and end with the final diagram of the completed machine presented by the system. Excitement soared through Mason's veins as he earnestly read the detailed explanation of the system, including the safety precautions to take when using such a delicate device. Even though the equipment hadn't been produced yet, Mason felt like he had decades of experience operating the machine. “I can't believe I hold the answer for a brain tumor,” Mason muttered to himself, with a broad smile spreading on his lips. The thought of the number of lives such discoveries could save and give hope to society crossed his mind. It would be revolutionary work if he was able to pull it off. Pulling out of his thoughts, Mason tilted his head in the direction of the approaching footsteps. His assistant Billy, dressed in a smart suit, smiled and halted behind him
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Commotion At Campus
Mason arrived at Aleric University, heading towards the familiar building of the engineering faculty, when he noticed the group of students turn to a girl who stopped in their presence, panting, trying to catch her breath. She raised her head and muttered something to the rest of the group, and they all took to their heels, running in the same direction.Mason furrowed his brows, surprised and curious about the situation. He glanced around and then noticed another group of girls running into the building's entrance.Mason increased his pace and was about to ask one of them what the commotion was about when he heard one of the girls say.“I can't believe a student can do something like that. How irritating,”“I heard she is an escort, so I am not surprised,” another one said. “Maybe she caught a virus during her job,” one of the students said, making the rest erupt into laughter.Mason furrowed his brow, wondering who the girl was talking about.“Let go and see,” another one chimed in
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Anonymous Girl
Screeches of car tires soared through the air as Jeremiah, sitting behind the wheels of his car, skillfully drifted into the next street leading towards the Aleric University Medical Center.He glanced in his rearview mirror from the girl to Mason, who ignored Jeremiah's injured hands and nodded for him to step on the gas as they had limited time left.Jeremiah hit the gas, and people who were crossing the road increased their pace, clearing the path for the incoming car, which hit its brakes and stopped at the entrance to Aleric Medical Center. Jeremiah turned off the engine and exited the car to assist Mason, who carefully carried the girl into the hospital while maintaining a rapid pace.The nurse at the counter in the lobby noticed the two boys ushering an unconscious girl into the building, quickly put down her telephone, and rushed to help them.She adjusted her eyes from the blood on Mason's shirt and placed her two fingers on the girl's neck to check her pulse. “Put her here

$1,000,000
Mason leaned forward, knowing Mr.Crosstone would get greedy. “$1,000,000 for the information, or I walk away,” he stated. The impact of his words hit Crosstone like a lightning strike, and the surprise etched on his face deepened into incredulity as he found himself lost in thought.‘1,000,000 will set me for life, and I will be able to afford all the beer I want!’ he thought when he noticed Mason was about to leave. He stood to his feet.“P…Please don't go, sir; I will talk,” he stuttered with a smile, which cast irritation on Miranda's face. “Please have a seat. Do you need anything? I only have beer,” he offered, and Mason shook his head.When Mr. Crosstone noticed neither Mason nor the Celestial assassin was going to accept anything, he returned to his seat, clearing his throat.“I have only known Tony for a few years after my family experienced a disastrous event in which I lost my wife and children,” the man said, wearing a pretentious expression.Mason, aware that Mr. Crosstone
Mr.Crosstone
“What the hell! W…who are you?!” He shrinks, tightening his grip around his bottle of beer.Mason and the celestial assassin stepped out of the shadows, making the man force down a lump down his throat. “Who are you people? Are you the cops? I swear I wasn't driving and drinking; I just took this round from the fridge!” He said defensively, switching his eyes from Mason to the rest of the figures.“Have a seat, Mr. Crosstone; we are not the cops,” Mason replied, monitoring the coach. Mr. Crosstone, hearing his words, heaved a sigh in relief. Realizing he still doesn't know who they are, he narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “If you’re not the police, then who exactly are you?” he demanded, his voice trembling with anxiety and suspicion. “Are you some kind of thief? Because I assure you, I don’t have any money to give you.”“Shut your mouth and have a seat!” Miranda snapped with an icy disdain, prompting the man to snap his head in her direction. He was about to protest when Nyx shook he
The Address
“You have arrived at your destination,” the robotic voice of the navigation system announced. Mason taking his hands off the wheels turned off the engine, and slid his finger across the control panel, rolling down the windshield. He glanced out the street, which was quiet, and the only sounds he could hear were the rustling leaves and the chirping sounds of birds. When he didn't notice any movement, he glanced back at his phone to confirm the address matched the building across the street.‘Did I arrive at the right address?’ Mason muttered to himself, surveying the premises for the second time.A car which he recognized took a turn approaching from the opposite direction. The black Sudan parked a few meters from his, and he watched as Miranda, Nyx, and Finn exited the car. They took a quick glance at the house before averting their attention to Mason, who also stepped out of his car.“Good to see you, Master,” Miranda greeted with a slight bow. The other celestial assassin followed
A Stranger Ball
As soon as Mason drove his Bugatti in the opposite direction of the convoy, his hand skillfully switched the gear, and his leg pressed on the gas pedal, making the engine roar, the sharp sound echoing down the street. Heads snapped in his direction, leaving them baffled in thought at the speed such a car could hit.Mason's phone vibrated on the passenger seat, and the screen was illuminated by a familiar number that sent a sense of urgency through him. He briefly glanced at the road, then slid his finger across the screen to answer the call, prompting the voice from the other end to echo through the speaker.“Master, IT has successfully retrieved the information from the picture you sent,” Miranda reported, and he nodded in satisfaction at her fast response. Though Mason was unsure if it was just a coincidence that the name the stranger mentioned was the same as the one listed on his mission. To play it safe, Mason had secretly taken a photo of the man and sent it to Miranda, instruc
The Chief Office
Mason had no trouble locating the chief's office, especially with the Haley security personnel standing guard at the door. As he approached, he could hear muffled conversation coming from within but couldn't identify the other female voice."Where is Mr. Williams? I wasn't expecting him to be late.”The unknown figure's thought slipped into his head, and with a deep breath, he cleared his mind, blocking out any unauthorized thoughts from intruding.Inside the chief's office, several pairs of eyes turned toward him walking in; from their expression, his presence had interrupted their conversation.Haley, who wasn’t part of the discussion, had her gaze fixed on her phone as she sat opposite the chief. In the corner of the room was a woman Mason hadn’t seen before. She wore a black suit tailor to hug her figure. The files in her hands indicated she was the lawyer his mother had sent to handle whatever decision he would make.“Good day, Mr. Williams, I'm Ruth Conner, your family attorney,
A System Message
"Follow me," the chief announced, leading the way toward the hallway where his office was located. He muttered a few things to Haley, who ignored him as she and her security team trailed behind the man. Meanwhile, Mason, who was behind them, found his legs rooted to the ground when a series of multiple screens expanded throughout the room.The largest screen in front of Mason displayed a red beacon signaling an emergency message. Understanding the system always sent a countdown to every emergency message or missions, he hesitated to see if the count down would show and when it didn't, Mason furrowed his brow, stretching his hand to open the message.“Excuse me, sir?” A voice called, pulling Mason out of his thoughts. He narrowed his gaze to the men in front of him, realizing he was in public and would attract attention if anyone noticed him speaking to himself or gesturing at an invisible object in the air.“The chief is waiting for you, sir,” the man repeated.Mason nodded his head,
Police Station 2
The atmosphere inside the police station was thick with unanswered questions, created by the newcomers. Officers who had previously been bored by their mundane workloads now had their gazes fixed on the figures radiating with aura.Mason and Haley, assisted by the men in suits, ignored the silent whispers and the prying side glances darting from them to the chief. “Did the newbies actually arrest Williams on their first day?” A voice drifted through the air.“If I remember correctly, arresting someone usually involves putting them in cuffs,” another voice laced with skepticism chimed in. Other officers listening to the whispers averted their glances toward Mason and Haley’s hands as they discreetly searched for any signs of handcuffs.“There is no cuff, but if the chief is involved, it is not a good sign,” another officer whispered, narrowing their gaze to the man in his early fifties.The chief, finalizing his call, pulled the phone from his ear and slid it into his pocket. The conc
Police Station
The revving sounds from the car's exhaust reverberated through the bustling street, making pedestrians halt their activities and turn their heads towards the source of the commotion. Behind the red and blue siren, which signaled a clear path, was a Bugatti and several luxurious cars, which made other cabs and car owners stick out their necks to have a glimpse at the convoy gliding down the street.“That must be the Williams," a tall man in a worn-out jacket said as he glanced toward the black cars speeding away from the hospital entrance.His companion, who also mirrored his gaze, sighs with a hint of disappointment. “It means the press conference is over, and we missed our chance to meet Mr. Williams in person,” his voice cracked into a whisper, unable to pull his gaze from the direction the vehicles had vanished. “Do you think the hospital is still accepting patients for the clinical trial? What if they turn me down?"The tall man's face melted into a pitiful expression, prompting h
The Arrest
The words and the presence of the police officers sent a cold silence through the lobby, leaving everyone stunned at the men in black uniforms who had their gaze panned at Mason and their hands reaching for their cuffs.“What in God's name is going on?” The words escaped the lips of a staff member, who had walked into the scene. “Wait! Is that the police? Is Mr. Williams being arrested?” Another voice chipped in, increasing the murmurs that roam through the crowd of medical staff and visitors caught in the scene.“What is this nonsense?!” Haley's voice slices through the series of whispers, bringing the room to an instant silence. The crowd, seeing her outburst, averted their gaze to the officer who had already brought out their handcuffs. “Do you know who you are talking about?” The first officer, sensing the incredulity in her voice glanced at his colleague who mirrored Haley stern expression. “Of course I know who I'm messing with,” the man scoffed, casting a slide glance at Maso
