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
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

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
BSL4
After they went through the front gate of the FCTS, Mason navigated towards the main building looming ahead.“How fast can this car go?” The commander, who had been watching the speedometer barely rise above 30 mph, asked.“Well, I would like to show you, but signs won't allow that,” Mason replied, nudging his head at the speed limit mounted by the roadside. Noticing his expression, Mason revved his engine, making the commander cast a satisfied smile at him.Several patrol units patrolling the premises in their vehicles were about to reverse in pursuit of the newcomer, but when they noticed their superior in the passenger seat, they sent a silent nod, which he reciprocated.Upon arriving at the entrance of the building, Mason followed his lead and exited his car to begin his tour. Although he wasn't sure how Mr. Anthony would arrive at the facility. The only way he could keep track of any movement on the premises was to locate the surveillance room without raising any suspicion.“You
FCTS
Early the next morning, Mason set out for the FCTS facility after receiving the go-ahead from his mother's secretary. When he finally arrived at the facility, he raised his gaze at the building towering into the sky. Its infrastructure was top-notch and eye-catching. Mason, not expecting anything less from a facility housing the most dangerous substance, adjusted his gaze to the main entrance. Just as Nyx had warned, flawless security measures heavily fortified the environment. Apart from the security devices mounted on the wall, drones fly around the premises assisted by several armed security personnel patrolling the premises, making it a no-go area.Mason, who had a backup plan, instructed the celestial assassins to follow him closely since he was the only one authorized to access the facility.“Stop!” One of the security men who noticed the incoming car waved at them while his other hand held his gun closely. Mason saw the man's stern expression through the tinted glass. Slowed
A Night To Remember
A chorus of gasps echoed around the table as all eyes, including Mr. Jordan's, turned to Mason. Marcus hearing Cleodara's revelation forced a lump down his throat. He knew the sister hated him due to his past actions, but he didn't expect any of them to side with Mason by outing him above his league. Marcus cast a warm smile at her. “I know Mr. Mason is your guest, but that is not possible. Mr. Williams is someone of high stature. How can you believe him when he just claims to know Mr. Williams?” Mr. Jordan, who was now curious about their guest, constantly took a side glance at Mason. From his years of being a businessman, he had developed a skill of sensing liars, especially the ones that claim to be what they are not. When he was trying to read Mason, he discovered there was something different about him. Mason's expressionlessness and his calmness made him hard to read. Unlike Marcus, whose identity was wrapped under his fingertip. Mason, on the other hand, knew Mr. Jordan
