Flicking her forehead with my fingers, I said, “ You have really fallen for me. I thought you would persist till the end. “ I laughed like a devil. But then I broke into a series of coughs. Then I couldn’t help saying, “ How do those villains laugh like this without damaging their throats?” At this moment, Celia started laughing. She covered her mouth first, acting polite, but she lost control and laughed out loud ,while wiping the tears from her eyes. I smiled when I saw her laughing ,because I don’t know why, but I like it more when she laughs.Mom coughed suddenly and asked," If both of your flirting is over, we can go to buy the equipments Mike. “ Both my and Celia’s face flushed a little, when we heard what mom said.But then we followed her to the garage. Even though we are middle class Americans, we still have a car and a garage. This is among the basic things required in American society. Maybe therefore other countries think America to be one of the greatest country. But the
In the backstage, the arrogant blonde guy was calmly sitting on a couch while his bodyguard fanned him. He was eating something when I walked to the backstage. The guide brother was still with me. He said to me," Little Brother, are you sure you want to take part in the competition? I have heard that there are many geniuses of some rich families taking part in this competition. That blonde guy is recognised by many as the genius of geniuses. So, do you really want to take part in this competition? "When I heard guide brother's words , I smiled and said, "It's okay, guide brother. I think I want to take part in this competition. If I leave right now, that blonde guy might think I am afraid of him. My parents have taught me not to turn my back in case of a challenge. Winning or losing is a second thing. "The guide brother nodded his head with a hint of appreciation. The guide brother thought, 'This kid...He really is something. Even if he loses, he is a talent worth to be cultivated.
The name of Chord is famous all over the world, not just because it sells the best quality musical instruments, but also because it has signed with many famous musicians and singers by themselves. Making them one of the major business family in the music industry. The Chords are owned by the Lee family. Although this family isn't native to America, they could still hold on to their business in such a country where racism is the most problematic for families who migrate to the United States.Author's note : If any of you are offended by my words in this novel ,please ignore those words, because it isn't just U.S. where racism happens, but it is still the place where racism happens the most.After Sasha ,the brunette singer, was done with introducing the participants and judges, the competition begun. For the first round, the participants were given the song for which they would have to play the music for.This round was just to make sure that only those who know even a little about mus
With an awkward cough, I said, "Please, miss. Don't joke around. How can a nobody like me to be worth of you? " Obviously, these words were to get rid of her for the time being. Although I like beauties, but I can't stand those clingy beauties. I have enough on my plate. I don't want to add Sasha to that plate.Since the first round was over, all of us were given some refreshments to rest for the free time. After five minutes, we were called up on the stage again for the start of the second round. Among all those who had taken part in the first round, only a handful of them remained. Because some didn't have any idea on how to play an instrument or they would miss the beat.The rules for the second round were simple. The participants were to fight against each other in this round. They can play any tune but the tune should only complement the opponent's music. The one who cannot do so would be disqualified. Obviously, the second round is hard, since the opponent would take advantage o
This continued until the end of five minutes. Miss Sasha suddenly raised her hands to denote that the time was up . Both I and the red head lowered our instruments waiting for the judges' results. One of the old guy among the three judges took a deep breath ,then he looked at both of us on the stage and said, " Both of you are talents worth cultivating. But since this is a competition ,only one among you can continue to the next round. Both of you were almost at the same level, but obviously one of you is better to become the winner of this round. And the winner of this round is Mike Williams. " Then the judge looked at the redhead and said ," Child, you were good. But you have still a long way to go. Don't lose your hope and continue to practice hard. I hope to see outstanding talents as you in the future music industry. "The red head girl nodded and said with a blank look on her face, "You are a worthy opponent. But don't be full of yourself. Today you might have won, but I promise
There have been few myths about music since the ancient times. Some say that a legendary music can make it rain even in a desert. While some say music can heal people. It is also believed that music can raise the battle spirit of the soldiers in a battle. Even if their number might be less, their battle spirit won’t let them to admit defeat. This is the power of music in legends.Maybe this is needed in a world where people are suffering. Be it supers or be it ordinary humans, all are suffering from the evil in this world.Supers are suffering because of the evil capitalists and politicians who want to control them and spewing rumours about them. While the ordinary humans are suffering because of evil supers who want to destroy humans, because they once suffered. This is the living of this world. Only suffering and pain. Sometimes it feels like this world is a world in some novel or comic, since the suffering doesn’t end, and in either comes back like Karma.After agreeing to my bet,
“Believers(medium tom X2) Believers..”, my voice echoed throughout the building. I should say almost in the entire state, because there were many who were listening to my song in the United States, so yeah. Finally, after singing for almost six minutes, my song ended. You might think I am cheating. Let me tell you I am not. At least in this world, no one has made this song. I had even edited some lyrics and music here and there. So this shouldn’t be called cheating. This is just tactics to win.When my song was over, the audience was still silent. I looked at them; they looked at me. The situation was getting awkward. So I sighed and spoke into the microphone, “What, you didn’t like my song? If you like it, applaud already. What are you all doing in a daze?” My words broke into their daze and all of them clapped. The applause was too loud that it even covered the host Sasha’s words. She was about to ask judges for their opinions, but sadly for her, the judges couldn’t hear her over th
The guide brother walked up on the stage and said while patting my shoulders ,"You did a good job, brother. I have an offer for you. “ I looked at him with curiosity. Seeing that he has caught my attention, clearing his throat he said, “Why don’t you work with our Li family? We would give you all the benefits of a first class singer. “I smiled slightly and said, “Guide brother, I respect you, but I want to gain a stronghold in the music industry by myself. If I were to join any of the factions, I would feel guilty, that’s for sure. “The guide brother nodded. I was curious about the original name of the guide brother ,so I asked, “Guide brother, what is your name? “ Guide brother smiled and said , “I am Richie Li ,the eldest son of the Li family’s patriarch. And I am a well-known singer. I thought you might recognise me.”Rubbing the back of my head in embarrassment, I said, “Sorry Brother, but I have never heard your songs. “ He was stunned for a second. He is famous all around the
She tried opening the door of my car. But unfortunately for her, she did not know, that only I can open that car, unless I have given the permission to use it to others. I had only given that permission to the girls, and the car was directly under the control of A1. So, there was no chance that Sam could open that door and sit inside. And now seeing her trying to open the door and then finally looking at me with a stupid look, made me almost laugh out loud. But I didn’t, because she had noticed that my expression was changing. So I instead looked down and ran towards the car. Then I opened the door after the finger print recognition.Sam was silent and sat down in the car without speaking. But when she sat inside the car, she gasped in surprise. She was surprised when she looked at the features inside the car. She looked at me with excitement in her eyes and asked, “This model.. Is this out for sale yet?” Shaking my head, I replied, &ldqu
T1 helped with successfully implanting the Bio-chip on the back of my neck. I could just sit down and grit my teeth, as I felt a jarring pain at the back of my head. It was as if every cell of my brain was being destroyed and made again. But all of it was just my imagination, since I saw the status of my brain on the screen, from the corner of my eyes. And according to the data’s being displayed, everything was okay with my brain, except because my brain was in a state of virtual activity. Being in virtual activity simply means that because of some external factors, the brain is forced into a situation which is just a made up factor made by the brain, because of that external force. And the external force for me was the Bio-chip placed on my neck.A1’s holographic figure looked at me with a worried look. Obviously only her face was visible, as she had just show her head, instead of her entire body, as she usually did. I smiled as I gave her a r
After the dinner, I signed the contract with Elena and Daisy. Then the girls and I shared the bed and had a sleepless night. Many days passed like this. I had been doing the same thing these days. Studying nanotechnology, designing the training room, upgrading the already made products. I even designed the upgraded version of smart prosthesis. The new version of smart prosthesis was actually for those, who were paralysed. It took me a lot of time to read many books about neurology, including the anatomy and physiology of brain. I had to study several books on bio-chips. Those were some of the top secret files of several countries, which I got access to, thanks to A1.After several thesis made by top biotech scientists of this world, I could learn a thing or two about the bio-chips. Bio-chips can control anything with our brain. Obviously those things should be someway attached to the circuit of the bio-chip. Only when you form a closed circuit with the bio
I immediately tried my best to calm him down, but all of it was in vain. That’s when, A1 thought of something. She said in my ears, “Leave it to me, Mike. “ I had been listening to music, while I was reading those books on nanotechnology. It just made me relax, because reading such books for a long time was anything but entertaining. If not for the music that I was hearing, I might have been bored a long time ago. I hummed in response, which was ignored by the lawyer Uncle. A1 suddenly projected herself out of my smart watch, as a holographic loli figure.I was amazed. Not a loli-con myself, but I understand a beauty just with a glance. Similarly, I can understand if a person would look beautiful from looking at her younger version. That’s my talent, ahem. A1 started speaking to the surprised lawyer uncle, “Hello Mr. Simmons. I am A1, an intelligent program created by Mike. That voice belonged to me. And as we are talkin
I don’t know who it was, but when we got out of the airport, I found a familiar black car. It was obviously Hexon, that I had made. To be more specific, this was the car, I had given to the girls, and mom, to travel. Seeing these two cars out, I narrowed my eyes, thinking how these cars were here. Soon, I found out the reason. It was Mr and Mrs Jones. Seeing her father and mother, Mia immediately rushed towards them with a smile, and hugged them. Her parents smiled as they hugged her back. Even the girls, mom and I couldn’t hold back our smile, when we saw this scene.When she noticed the awkward silence around her, Mia poked her tongue out and then loosened her parents from her hug. It was a minute change, but I saw the expression of relief on the face of Mr Jones. Feeling someone’s gaze upon him, Mr Jones looked at me awkwardly, talking to me with his eyes. Actually, it was a more like a way. We men talked to each other about something
While I walked, I saw a face, which I had seen a long time ago. It was the assistant of Mr. Arnab Singh. Arnab Singh, the same guy, from whom I had bought that flying surf board that day, three years ago. I still remembered that lady, who brought coffee for me that day, or was it tea? Her face had changed a little. Just when I saw her three years ago, she didn’t look mature. But now, she had that otherworldly aura, which screamed maturity. And truth be told, she was still beautiful like how she was three years ago.But I did not know if she still remembered me. I mean, who would remember a person, whom they have met three years ago? That’s not possible, unless the person has a sharp memory. So I walked away, saying nothing. If I asked her, and she still doesn’t remember me, that would be very awkward. So yeah, better prevent that situation from happening. So I just did that. I walked past her. But to my surprise, when I looked at he
Saying that, I walked out of the confinement cell, leaving the confused Aeris behind. Just when I was far enough, I heard him mutter something. But I ignored his words. Aeris was gritting his teeth. He understood that one of his people tried to destroy some city, but he failed. Aeris felt lost, since he didn’t know who that person was. Aeris still has a wife, an angel, whom he had married, when he joined the spy forces of the Heaven. She was one of his colleagues, and then they started liking each other. And finally, after three years of relationship, they married each other, with the blessings of The Lord God.The night of the wedding, his wife went to the holy shrine, to get the blessings of the Lord. And the next day when she arrived, she was happy, yet different. Thanks to the blessings of the Lord God, they were happy in their life. That’s when Aeris got this mission, of infiltrating the human world, and cause chaos, and prepare the world
But imagine my surprise when Celia finally said, “One day. “ So I asked her again, “One day?” To which she nodded. I sighed in relief. It was good that only a day had passed since the tsunami. That’s when I remembered about the tsunami and asked her, “What about the tsunami and those people?” Celia smiled and replied, “They are all fine. You could stop the tsunami, but by the end, you had fallen unconscious. Thankfully, a mother and son duo saw you, and took care of you, till dad and his team arrived there. “ I sighed in relief, when I heard how I had stopped the Tsunami waves, from hitting the coast of XX city and saving thousands of lives. But when I heard the latter part, I wanted to meet the son and mother duo, who had taken care of me.That’s when Celia told me that the others had also arrived here as soon as they could. Obviously, it was Celia, who had informed them, just as she had ended her call with he
So that’s what I did. I rushed towards the sea. Unknown to me, a small boy pointed towards the direction where he saw a man in a black metal suit disappear. He pointed as he pulled his mother to tell her. The mother was pale in fright because of the nearing tsunami waves, which would soon hit the coast and would destroy everything. It would swallow people, including both the son and mother duo. She was a single mother, who took care of our son. And since it was the vacation of her son, she had taken him to Mumbai, the coastal metropolitan city. If not for bringing him here, both of them might have been safe. It was pointless to think about the past since neither the past nor the present can change.When she saw her son pointing towards a black shadow, which was disappearing soon. She heard his words, amongst the cries of others who were rushing to find cover, since no rescue can be done anymore. And they could only wait to brace for the impact. If th
