MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Black Sedan
The camera and the interviewer faded out of sight as Mason drove away from the premises. It was his first time grabbing the media's attention, but it felt familiar because all they did was intrude and pry into someone's life just to have something that would boost their fame and destroy the lives of those they pry upon. It was a feeling Mason had gone through county time on campus. "What are you thinking about?" Haley asked when Mason scoffed without saying anything. He glanced at his sister, whose eyes panned at the road, and even when she wore an expressionless face, he could tell she wasn't okay, and the words of those people ran through her mind. "Nothing," she replied, taking the next turn. "How are you okay?" he asked, glancing in her direction. Haley huffed, nodding her head. "I'm fine," she replied with an angry tone. Mason didn't say anything and waited for her to speak. "Can you believe those people!" Haley exclaimed, with her face wrinkled into a frown. "How dare they
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Haley Secret
After a few minutes, Mason arrived at the Williams Private District, and the image of the mansion came into view. He glanced at his sister, who was now calm but awfully quiet, making him wonder what was going through her head."Are you sure you're okay?" Mason asked for the thousand times, and without a reply, Haley nodded her head, glancing outside the windshield where countless bullets tried to penetrate but couldn't. He guessed she might still be processing the thought of the incident that still lingered in her mind. Mason heaved a sigh; if he had not acquired those legendary driving skills, only God knows what would have become of them as those thugs were not ready to let them go but kept shooting at the windshield even when the bullet couldn't penetrate.Mason shook off the thought. "We should not tell Mom," Mason mumbled, clearing his throat. Informing their mother would cause her unnecessary worries, and it was the last thing he wanted to do. If he had gone to the auction alon
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Viper Gang
Mason made his way into his bedroom, shutting the door behind him. He took off his tie and sank into the comfort of the bed. His eyes lingered on the ceiling, but the thought of the incident clouded his mind. If those guys were able to send two sedans with armed men to kill them without the fear of getting caught, it means they are dangerous and might have planned to come after Haley again. He needed to find those bastards and do something about it, but Maon had no idea where to start. Even the police were unable to identify who those men were.'The Celestial System,' the thought crawled into his mind. He remembers Emoji telling him the system identifies possible threats; maybe it can also identify who those men were.Mason crawls into a sitting position. "Emoji," he muttered, and after a few seconds, Emoji appeared beside him, wearing his usual facial expression."Seems like you're alive," Emoji beamed, earning a frown from Mason. Was he expecting me to be dead? "You could have war
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Art Studio
Once it was 6 a.m., Mason got up from his bed and entered his bathroom. After twenty minutes, he exited and entered his walk-in wardrobes. He wore casual clothes since he wasn't going to work or school. After glancing through his clothes for a few seconds, Mason settled for a fitted black sleeve shirt, which he folded to his elbow length, assisted by the Vacheron Constantin watch adorning his wrist. His shirt was toked in his back trousers, matching his black shoes. After glancing at his reflection, Mason made his way downstairs."Are you going on a date?" A tiny voice called behind him. Mason turned to see Helen and Sally trailing behind him. Helen ran into his embrace."Hello, princess," Mason smiled, ruffling her hair. "No, I'm not going on a date," he replied to her previous question. Helen furrowed her brows and assisted with a chuckle, shaking her head. "That is what they all say," she whispered, running away when Mason's eyes widened in surprise."Come back here you rascal,"
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Project
"Looks who finally decided to show up," Jacob muttered with a smirk playing on his lips. Even when Mason had a hunch Jacob would be here, deep down he wished he wasn't. "Where have you been, Mason? Have you been trekking all day?" Jacob, not missing the chance of being a jackass, laughed, and others beside him giggled."It's too bad you're looking all dolled up, but sadly, you can't afford a taxi," Flora, beside Natalia, said, sending a wave of silent laughter."If he can borrow expensive clothes, why can't he beg for a couple of dollars for a taxi?" a voice asked, but Mason ignored them, taking the empty spot at the corner of the room. He was here because of Cleopatra, and if she hadn't called him, he wouldn't have shown up as he was the one who proposed the school project."Wait! Did he trek to this place?!" Another voice cut in."He isn't even sweaty for walking such a far distance," astonishment laced their tone, but Mason remained calm. He knew they would all be eating their wor
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Supervisor
Natalia, sensing Jacob's hesitation, quickly jumps in. "Why would you want Jacob to call Haley William? Don't you know the Williams are busy people and are occupied by businesses worth millions daily?" She said this, rolling her eyes. The group, listening to Natalia's statement, shifted their gaze to Mason, who didn't seem impressed like the other students. Looking for an opportunity to defend her friend in the future, Flora quickly jumped into the conversation. "If you don't know Mason, the Williams family are very busy people who are more invested in making money, which you can never make in this life. They are not poor like you, who borrow clothes to impress others," she said, sizing him with her eyes. Mason was not surprised by Flora's comment. "Who told you that my clothes were borrowed?" he asked, and Flora rolled her eyes. "You have a talent for spreading or supporting lies, and it would do you a lot of good if you tried shutting your mouth sometimes," Mason deadpanned with a
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Selecting A Model
"What! Why would you pick Mason to pose with her?" The words left Jacob's mouth without thinking. "Let me be the male model," he said, turning to the supervisor, who gave him a skeptical look before turning to Cleopatra. "Is he in the group?" she asked."No," Cleopatra replied, with a furrowed brow in surprise at Jacob's sudden outburst. Jacob, foaming with anger, stared at Mason, who was staring at his phone. "Excuse me, but you have to leave," the supervisor pointed at Jacob, who stared at her surprise."You want me to leave?" The supervisor didn't answer his question and just stared at him sternly. Jacob hesitantly stood to his feet, moving towards the exit."You better not be comfortable," Jacob muttered when he got close to Mason, who didn't reply but smiled and pointed to the door. Jacob's rage was evident as he exited the room, his eyes glaring at Mason.The supervisor turns to the rest of the group and ushers them into the drawing-room, which is filled with drawing kits. Th
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Restaurant
The selection ended at 1 p.m. Those chosen were happy, while Natalia was unhappy with the supervisor's decision."Those selected to represent your group should be available tomorrow." No excuses," the supervisor announced to the students filling out the room. Mason, who was glancing at his watch, waiting for the crowd to move out before exiting the room, was stopped by Cleopatra."Mason," she called, walking towards him; her long hair was now tied into a pony, making him admit she was born to look beautiful no matter the hairstyle. "How are you going home?" Cleopatra asked, stopping next to him and catching the eyes of the other students whispering among themselves."Yes, can I help you with something?""Some of the students and I are planning to have lunch, and I thought you might want to tag along?" she replied.Mason stared at Cleopatra's face for a second, trying to decipher her intention. Since they had been in the same department, she had never glanced in his direction, and no

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
