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
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM $62,856 Lunch
When Mason got to the VIP room, most students were already seated while the staff handed them the menu. Mason glanced at the far corner of the room where Cleopatra was waving at him, pointing at the empty seat beside her. Mason strode towards her but didn't miss the frown on Jacob's face as he sat beside her.Mason picked up the menu, staring at the familiar exotic dish on the menu, most of which their chiefs had prepared several times. Mason could tell most of the other students didn't share the same sentiment with him as they murmured under their breath."Even the pizza here cost $10,000!" Mason gazed at a boy whose face was pale from the menu. The two boys beside him also had the same look. Mason remembers them as the three Musketeers; they were the silent students in their departments and were always together, which derived their names.Mason knew Jacob had purposely selected this restaurant to humiliate and, in the process, had also dragged these students who weren't as fortunate
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Leaving With Style
The room was filled with astonishment aided by curiosity as all eyes stared at Mason. Most people who predicted the payment would fail were left speechless."How is that possible?" A girl from the other end of the table muttered under her breath. She shifted her gaze to Natalia, who stared at Mason dumbfounded like the others. 'Mason never spent that kind of money when we were dating, how come he was now able to spend $62,856 for a meal without thinking twice?' Natalia mutters to herself."He just paid the bill for himself and the three Musketeers!" a girl beside Natalia repeated. "I can see that!" Natalia spat.Mason glanced at her, then shifted his gaze to Jacob. "I believe you need to pay your part of the money," Mason said, snapping Jacob out of his thoughts. Jacob tilted his head to the lady beside him, and a frown crawled onto his face."Give me a second!" Jacob yelled at her, and the lady bowed her head and retreated to the corner of the room. Jacob tilted his head to Mason.
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Cleopatra's Home
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
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Unknown Car
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
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Confrontation
"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
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Robber's Helper
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
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Unread Messages
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

Inside The Skating Rink
With the manager gone, Fiona led the way into the building, assisted by the rhythmic click of her heels echoing against the polished floor. Behind her were Helen and Mason, who pulled his gaze from his watch to stare at Fiona leaning in to whisper something to Helen, who immediately lit up with a radiant smile and nodded enthusiastically, thrilled by whatever secret she had just shared.As they stepped into the expansive skating rink, closing the door behind them, the familiar lyrics of the music reverberated through the air, creating an infectious energy that contrasted with the chill of the surroundings. Along the spacious bar table was a female staff member, skillfully carrying out her task without glancing in their direction.Mason smiled as he glanced around the environment, recollecting his first time inside the building; the space was filled with both professional and learning skaters who had their hearts in their mouths as they glided across it. Above the ground is a dazzling

The Manager Boss
The manager, seeing Mason holding out his card, erupted into another round of laughter. He knew an average bank account would struggle to accommodate a single transaction of $100,000, let alone the staggering amount that Mason was now claiming he wished to pay.After laughing to his content, the manager wriggled his brown eyes across the black, and when he finally saw the distinctive inscription etched into the dark material before him, an unexpected wave of emotion surged within him. He felt a lump form in his throat, a mixture of surprise and disbelief, as he turned to Mason.“I…Is that a black card?!” The manager stammered, his mouth watered with confusion, as he fought the overwhelming urge to rub his eyes, hoping to clear the fog of uncertainty and confirm what he was seeing was real.Mason, with whom the question was directed, remained quiet, allowing the sound of reality to sink into the man.“How is that possible? You don't look—” the manager felt another lump automatically su

Skating Rink
“Have some faith in your brother, Helen,” Mason said, faking a hurt expression. “I don't need to practice how to skate since I have a natural talent for it,” he grinned, maneuvering their way towards the other side of the park. Unlike the rest area of the park, surrounded by people and chaotic happiness, the building, which Mason assumed was meant for skating, stood empty and silent, prompting him to look up for any sign of life within its uninviting façade.“Are you sure we are in the right place?” Helen asked, her little brows knitting together as she surveyed the scene. "It looks deserted. Why is it so empty?" She asked, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. Mason, who couldn't provide an answer to her question, tilted his head slightly toward the two men positioned near the entrance. The way they stood, broad-shouldered and alert, instantly sparked a sense of recognition. Their postures were rigid, exuding an air of authority, and he quickly deduced that they were not

Dreamland
A flurry of activity outside the windshield suddenly broke the lingering silence inside the car. Helen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, gazed in awe at the vibrant scene through the tinted glass, while her hands rested on the door that separated her from all the fun outside.“It's Aleric Dreamland!” she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with wonder as they fixated on the towering Ferris wheel that loomed against the vivid sky. From afar, they could hear the sounds of laughter and the screams of riders ascending into the air. “Holy cow!” Helen muttered, Peeling her eyes from the scene, she turned to Mason, who had already predicted her next question. “Are we going to the park? Are we going to ride the Ferris wheel?!” she inquired, her voice bubbling with eagerness, not leaving room for him to answer her first question.Mason let out a small laugh, then nodded his head. “Yes, princess, we are going to the Dreamland, and you can choose whatever activities you want to do today,” he r

The Big Brother
As Mason approached the entrance to the fifth-grade iris classroom, two men in black suits, which he recognized as Helen's security guards, were sentinel outside the closed door. When they spotted him and the lady walking next to him, they instantly shifted their attention, performing a precise and synchronized bow that demonstrated both respect and discipline. Mason, without a word, returned their greeting with a firm nod. Ms. Telsa gently place her card on the door, and as the door slide open, the hushed murmurs of the classroom faded, and all eyes turned to the newcomers. A curious blend of surprise and interest filled the room, and the students dressed in their neat uniforms collectively directed their gaze from Ms. Telsa to the man who had interrupted their ongoing class.Mason, who wasn't expecting such a scene, instantly glanced at the watch before he navigated his gaze to the lady standing in front of the classroom.‘Are all the teachers in the school this young?’ He muttere

Asking For Directions
When she finally noticed Mason's gaze, she instantly let out a forceful smile then glance at her colleague before walking away to greet another parent. “Shall we?” The girl with tinted gray hair asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper as she nodded toward the entrance of the building. With a subtle yet confident gesture, she stepped forward, and Mason trailing behind her, commanded attention by his presence. They took a turn into the long hallway, and Mason's gaze dropped to her figure. Her long gray hair flowed down her back, catching the soft glow of the lobby lights and adding an ethereal quality to her appearance. The fitted uniform she wore clung to her curves in all the right places, accentuating her silhouette while remaining professional. Mason’s eyes were drawn to the way her tan skin glowed against the crisp fabric of her outfit, making it challenging to pinpoint her racial background. Each step she took made her movements almost dance-like as she navigated throu

Heaven Institution
“That's alright,” Mason replied with a casual smile, unfazed by the curious glances from those around them. With a fluid motion, he retrieved his phone from his pocket and tapped at the screen, which lit up, and exchanged numbers with them, sealing their brief conversation with a friendly nod. After a few warm goodbyes, he headed toward the administration building where his car was parked. Mason circled out of the parking lot and headed downtown Aleric City, navigating through the familiar streets lined up with shops and cafes, bustling with activities. After a few miles, he finally arrived at Heaven Institution, where Helen attended school.Keeping his promise to pick her up, Mason slowed down and navigated toward the elegant, modern building with its sleek glass facade. In front of the building, staff dressed in sharp formal wear gathered in the late afternoon light, and their polished shoes gleamed as they exchanged polite smiles and warm handshakes with the parents who had come t

Junior Colleague
After the test scores were announced and the dean of students exited the classroom, several chairs scraped against the floor as the students, still reeling from the shock of the results, slowly filed out in a somber group, reminiscing about the surprising twists of the test. At the back of the line, Mason and Jeremiah lingered, their expressions different from those of the others. Meanwhile, Mr. Hasatin stood at the front, his piercing gaze fixed on the two boys as if he could bore into their skulls with his eyes.In seconds, they confidently strode to the entrance of the faculty, capturing the attention of several pairs of watchful eyes. Rumors of their outstanding test score had rapidly spread throughout the university, creating an unmistakable buzz that refused to be ignored, and other students who didn't know who they were exchanged looks of curiosity.“Bro, I think I have become popular!” Jeremiah muttered, panning his eyes at the notifications popping up on his phone screen.

Test Score
“Austin,” Mr. Hasatin's voice resonated through the classroom, causing all the students to turn their attention to the front. The air was thick with a mix of anticipation and dread as he scanned his list of names before looking up at the boy, who sat frozen in his seat. Austin's gaze flickered nervously around the room before finally settling on Mr. Hasatin, whose expression was stern yet tinged with disappointment as he continued, “Your test score is 10 out of 100!” The words hung in the air, punctuating the silence and eliciting a wave of murmurs and gasps from the other students. Austin, who was short of words, quickly forced a lump down his throat as the reality of his test score slapped his face. More whispers from other shocked students emerged as they lingered their gaze on the boy who had never missed a class and was regarded as not only Mr. Hasatin’s disciple but the best student of his course. “Oh my God, I can't believe this!” A girl sitting in front of Mason excla
