MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Congratulatory Ceremony
Inside the vastly decorated auditorium were several banners cascading down the white wall of the hall which describe the awards, and the congratulatory ceremony. The atmosphere was filled with cheerfulness and excitement leaving a subtle of anticipation on the participating students and along the space was a series of chairs arranged down to the horizon ending a few meters from the dais.Mason glanced through the crowd, and he could see more than six hundred students from various levels navigate to occupy them, except for Jeremiah. When Mason couldn't figure out his location, he brought out his phone to dial his number."Mason!" a voice called, and he raised his head to the direction to see Jeremiah waving from the middle roll of the hall. Several eyes turned in his direction; those who didn't know him glimpsed at him while those at his level focused on Mason, who made his way through the walkway."Why on earth will you come to school like this!" Mason muttered to himself, moving tow
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM A Prestigious Student
Silence roamed between the two friends; even when Jeremiah said nothing, he knew he was saying everything. "She is just a friend," Mason said, ignoring Jeremiah's prying gaze, which didn't quench the stunned expression and the sarcasm in his eyes."Since when did you and the prettiest girl in our department become friends?" Jeremiah asked, slurring the last words. Mason didn't bother to provide an answer to the question and quickly dismissed the topic by placing his index finger on his lips to silence Jeremiah. "The ceremony is starting," Masaon said, nodding at the person approaching the dais. Jeremiah reluctantly shifted his eyes to the man holding a microphone, staring at the crowd with a broad smile."Good day, distinguished student it is my pleasure to announce the commencement of the Art project ceremony, and before we do, there are some important personnel I would like to invite to the VIP reservation," he said and shifted his eyes to the card on his hand."Firstly I would lov
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Qualified Students
The whispers of students lasted for about two minutes before the host tapped at his microphone signaling for silence. The noise died down prompting all eyes to turn in his direction. The host cleared his throat and announced. “With the official seated we will proceed with the next phase of the ceremony,” he said then paused at the lady in a white dress who approached the podium and whispered into his ear. She handed him a list of the qualified students for the Art project, making total silence soar through the room as the participant focused their eyes on the paper even when they couldn't make out the names on the list.“On behalf of the school, I would like to call on Mason Williams, to announce the name of the qualified student and also give out the awards,” the host said, turning to him with a nod. Without hesitating Mason stood to his feet, and with the crowd tracing his every step, he approached the host, who handed him the list of the qualified candidates and the instructions t
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Last Qualified Student
The voice of the excited crowd, chanting Cleopatra's name, lingered in the air, as they waved her triumph flag. The officials seeing their reaction wore stunned expressions, as they shifted their eyes from her to her fans, which consisted of her colleagues and those who were from other levels. Mason, wearing a similar expression, didn't want to interrupt their celebration, and gave them a few seconds, before he softly tapped at his microphone, sending a hush through the crowd who finally rested their gaze on him. Complete silence filled the room, making everyone sit on their edge, as they waited for the last name to be called.“That last name on the list today is no other than,” Mason paused, raising his gaze to the crowd filled with anticipation, except for Jacob, who was already on his feet, standing in the shadows of the walkway and waiting for his name to be called. Mason, noticing his figure, wore a mischievous smile. “The name of the last qualifiers is none other than John Steve
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Mason and Jeremaih
A little while later the ceremony came to an end, and students in groups hushed out of the auditorium, discussing the details of the event and the qualified winners, who won the million dollars. Mason trailing the line could have a few little curious eyes staring at him. Within a few minutes, they all exited the hall, making their way to their various Classes.“Mason!” a voice called, and he turned to see Jeremiah running towards him. His face was filled with excitement, making a smile appear on Mason's face. “I can't believe it, man! You're now a prestigious student!” He half yelled, placing his arm across Mason's shoulder.“I guess I am!” Mason replied, pretending to be surprised at the announcement. Though he felt bad lying to his best friend, he couldn't tell Jeremiah the truth, as it would result in him asking more questions, which was the last thing he wanted for now.“Damn, I'm sure that's why Mr. Douglas couldn't make any move against you, since he already knew you were a pres
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Finding A lead
“What?” Mason's voice reverberated through the room. He quickly placed the phone in his other ear, hoping he wasn't hearing things, as Miranda's words repeated in his head. “Did I hear you say, you have a lead?” Mason asked, hoping she was sure about her statement. The Tag placed on the Suspect was a Ghost, and the system refused to help or provide him any information that could help him catch the suspect, which seemed impossible, and even the Celestial assassin couldn't find anything.Miranda sensing Mason's doubt repeated in the same thrilled tone. “Master, I am very sure about the information. The team has been working on this for days and this time we have a possible lead on our suspect, and the good news is, it is in a familiar location,” she added, making Mason nod, curling his hand into a fist.“Good job, Miranda, send me the location and I will meet you there,” Mason instructed.“Yes, sir, I will do that right now,” she replied immediately before the line was disconnected. Sec
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM The Club
The sun fell beyond the horizon, sending darkness through the busy street of Aleric City. The atmosphere loomed with smoke from the car exhaust, assisted with other mundane activities that completed the night. Light from various buildings and the headlights of cars illuminate the street, casting shadows in different corners. Mason, sitting inside a coffee shop, raises his cup to his mouth and glances from his watch to the activities of the young generation through the transparent walls of the building. The salesgirl standing on her toe constantly shifted her eyes from him to Miranda and her associate, who also mirrored Mason's actions, as they watched the club opposite the shop. “It seems like they are waiting for someone,” the first sales girl whispered to her colleagues. Her attention focuses on the mysterious young man holding a cup of coffee. The intimidating aura surrounding him stung her curiosity and she shifted her eyes back to her friend. “Go ask if he needs anything el
MASON WILLIAMS AND THE CELESTIAL SYSTEM Jacob And The Bouncer
Silent whispers roamed through the group of students, watching Jacob’s anger illuminated by the clublight.“Stupid shoe!” He cursed at his loose shoelace, before standing up from the ground, shifting his eyes from the stain on his clothes to Cleopatra and the other who didn't interfere in the incident.“Damn you Mason!” Jacob growled, walking in the direction of the room which Mason had entered.When he approached the two bouncers standing in front of the door, they stretched out their hands and said. “You ain't allowed in here,” the first bouncer said, with a straight face and a frown crawling into Jacob's face. When he noticed, they were serious about not letting him in. Jacob glanced behind him and noticed: that his colleagues were all watching the scenes.“Are the bouncers restricting Jacob from entering the VIP-Section? I thought he said he knew the owner and basically owned this place.”“If Mason could enter the VIP Lounge, why then is Jacob being restricted?” another voice chim

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
More Rumours
The air felt thick with anticipation as everyone awaited Mason’s response to a question.“My mother is the strongest woman I know, and since the death of my father, she has poured her heart and soul into building the Williams empire, and to answer your question, no,” Mason said, his voice steady, suppressing his anger. “What many of you might not realize is that Haley is also my twin sister, and the reasons for my identity being kept a secret are something I’m not going to share.”Mason's voice signaled the end of every question regarding his personal life.“Mr. Williams, is it true that the hospital continues with the medical trial despite the lawsuit filed by the parents of the victim?” a journalist asked, prompting Mason's brows to furrow at the term "victim." Irritation flickers across his face like an unwelcome shadow, and he instantly adopts a composed facade. “Indeed, the Jordans have filed a lawsuit regarding their daughter's name appearing on the list of trial participants,”
Press Conference
The conference room at Williams Hospital was situated on the first floor of the building, and its white walls were adorned with simple yet modern decorations that provided a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The news of Mason addressing the crowd had hit the air, and every journalist outside constantly dropped their gaze to their watch, and when the time for the press conference approached, the space quickly filled with several recording devices set. The excitement and curiosity wasn't just centered in the conference room alone; rather, it included the viewer who also heard the news circulating through social media platforms crowded around their devices, eagerly following live updates and waiting to catch a glimpse of the most anticipated speaker of the day. Amid the bustling crowd of journalists, a team of security personnel dressed in black suits stood at various points of the room. Their eyes scanned the area like hawks while communicating discreetly with one another via their walkie-
Mason's Decision
"The public is still in confusion about the incident, and we are all waiting for an official statement from the Williams Central Hospital and its officials, who have been ignoring our sincere requests," the lady in front of the mic announced with a concerned expression.Mason, who had his gaze panned to the TV screen with a furrowed brow, mentally rolled his eyes at the journalist's facade. He knew most of them didn't care about any incident, rather than the spotlight of being the first to broadcast anything that would give them recognition.When Mason caught sight of his sister weaving through the gathered crowd, a grin spread across his lips. With the expression on her face, he knew there's only one reason for her being in the hospital, which is to support him.“Ms. Haley!” One of the journalists stopped her. “Is it true the trial is going on even after a lawsuit was filed by the Jordan family? Is the hospital performing illegal surgeries?”“No comment,” Mason heard her say before w
