“My name is…, Maria Dickerson”.“…”“…”“…..!”George remained frozen in shock as he stared at the beautiful black-haired girl standing before him. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.“W-what?” He stammered.The girl chuckled. “I said my name is Maria Dickerson”.“Why so shocked? Does my name ring a bell?”George’s eyes widened as he stared at this beautiful black-haired lady, but due to some unknown willpower that he never knew he had before now, George was able to keep a straight face before her.“No…, umm, I was just surprised since it sounded familiar”.George tried his very best to mask it and despite keeping a straight face, he could not completely hide his body’s increased metabolism as sweat gathered on his face and body, he was experiencing goosebumps.At this moment, his brain already went through various life cycles.His brain briefly short-circuited after registering what this beautiful lady just told him, and booting again, his brain geared into overdrive.On ove
“6th in our agenda for today is the best sprintkathon art of the year…” “Sprintkathon is the international 5-minute art competition where artists are required to create memorable pictures within a duration of 5 minutes”. “All 4 of our nominees today made the United States of Nuspearia proud, all making it to the 2nd stage of the art competition, and one of ours was able to make it all the way to the finals of the art competition”. “Our nominees today are first, Godly Speed, Blitz Artist…” George arrived back at the hall right when the 6th agenda of the national awards ceremony was about to start under the guidance of the mc. As soon as George sat down though, his best friend nudged him. “Where have you been?” Silence. “Hey man, where did you go to?” George finally paid attention to his best friend. “Nowhere, I simply took a walk around to admire the scenery of the beautiful hotel”. “Oh, ok”. A few minutes later, John asked again. “Are you sure you’re ok?” “Yeah, I am”. Joh

“Congratulations on your award”.“Congratulations on your award!”“Congratulations on the win”.As soon as the annual art awards finally came to an end, walking out through the red carpet, George was sent off with a chorus of celebrations from every single person that he met along the way.And they didn’t just stop at that, some went further.“George Churchill, my name is Cracker Tom, CEO of Cracker Industries. Congratulations on your award win”.“Oh!” George was surprised. “Mr. Cracker, I’ve heard about you, nice to meet you sir”.“What do you say about visiting the museum sometime?”Mr. Cracker grinned as he rubbed his little girl’s head. “I bet my children would love it. Rest assured, one of these days, I’ll come with the family”.“Perhaps, the day you relaunch your headquarters”.“And I hope you allow me purchase a masterpiece that day”.George smiled. “I’d really love to but masterpieces are not for sale”.Mr. Cracker smiled back at him and with that, he left.That night, George
Click! Click! Click! Unlike when they just arrived for the ceremony, not just a few paparazzi this time but literally all of them swarmed George Churchill and his best friend, rapidly clicking for pictures as they trudged forward towards their car. After tonight, George was no longer just a rising artist in the United States of Nuspearia, he already booked a seat for himself right at the top. Amid the clicking of pictures rapidly, they finally boarded the GLK 350 again. Switching the car on, expertly, John finally drove out of the hotel. And with that, the events of tonight came to an end for them. … Arriving at the hotel where they booked a room for the night since they could not go back to Crack Town that night was no different as paparazzi swarmed them. Click! Click! Click! George clicked his tongue, rubbing his hair in frustration as he watched the over-enthusiastic reporters keep on asking him questions. “George Churchill, why are you staying here in this hotel? Why
It was already 11:00pm in the night.Somewhere in Nuktuk City…In an underground bunker, a unit of militaristic looking people dressed in all black attire were gathered in a certain room of this underground bunker.This room was filled all over with expensive looking LED screens.Their leader was a black-haired girl on black too who already tied her hair in a bun. Curling on top a chair like a snake, she watched the screen attentively.“Lord Maria, the camera just booted”.“Understood”.BZZZ!The next moment, feedback was populated over the LED screens.In one of these screens, there was George Churchill and his best friend, John Lenox. The other screens showed other corners of this room; this was the effects of the incredible high-tech camera with multiple angle focus lenses.She clicked her tongue on top the chair. “Found you”.But she barely said it when George did something strange, suddenly fishing what seemed like a phone out of his pocket.She squinted her eyes. ‘What is that?’

John got an idea, and he implemented it.Seeing the multiple black cars that drove towards the hotel building, and knowing that they were from Maria Dickerson’s entourage, his brain geared into overdrive as multiple ideas went through his head.In the end, he settled for one of the many ideas going through his head.He looked at his best friend, stopping him just as he was in the process of giving orders to the gateman that they confronted.“Change the order, instead of the first order, tell him this instead”.“Open the gate after the 3 black cars enter inside the hotel building. If anyone of them is blocking the gate, tell them to leave first, then let us out”.“Wait till we drive out, then close the gate again”.“No matter what happens, do not accept to open the gate again until we are far away from sight”.“No, do not open the gate again at all tonight”.“Yes, sir”. The gateman nodded mechanically.***[Platinum Term: 100,000 NUS Coins!][WARNING! This is a highly controversial fav
