Sebastian turned to Cecile who was on her phone and said, “Thank you for being here till this time and sorry for keeping you for long only for me to focus on another project.”“You sound like it was you who made me stay back; I chose to stay back to work on the project of my own free will Seb. The apology is unnecessary, don’t make the atmosphere uncomfortable for everyone. Gavriel is tense enough as it is.” She raised a brow at him and then continued what she was doing.Sebastian was at a loss for words. He scratched his head awkwardly and said,“There’s still a lot remaining for the project to be complete, I’ll feel guilty if you’re doing it alone. How about we continue working on it next tomorrow? The project is not due for another four to five days at least.”“She chuckled lightly, “Relax Seb. Don’t worry, I don’t plan to do everything by myself tonight. That’s a lot of work to complete in one night. I just need the distraction of working on something for a bit so I’m staying back

Silence descended on the lab, everyone was thinking.For Lecturer Grizzalo’s project, they still needed to do the scale modelling of their blueprint, and that was a lot of work considering it hadn’t been started already. For Gavriel’s project, between completing the prototype design and building the prototype, they still had a lot of work to do.“I’ll take care of the scale modelling Seb, you can concentrate on Gavriel’s project,” Cecile spoke up.“But…”“It’s a lot, I know. I’m not confident I’ll finish it before the time for the presentation but we never know until we try right? And I’m quick with my fingers.” She wriggled her finger at Sebastian as she smiled at him. There was no hesitation in her eyes, instead, there was a gleaming fire in her eyes, a fire borne from the challenge. If there was one thing Cecile enjoyed, it was taking on challenges and overcoming them! And she so loved this particular challenge.“That would be pushing yourself too much Cecile…” It wasn’t that Sebast
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 26. A Stolen Praise
“Leonard, what do you mean by you’re cutting all ties with me?” Anna asked, her anger and irritation from last night still simmering on her skin. She was physically recovered thanks to Wintore Hospital’s expert care, but the same could not be said about her mind.“Exactly what you heard. I have no use for a has-been, a violent one at that. You should be grateful I didn’t put you in jail for assault.” Leonard was still nursing the stinging pain on his bandaged right cheek from the injury Anna inflicted on him last night in Wintore Hospital.“You have no right to throw me out now!” Anna’s voice was rising in decibels, just outside the conference room to be used for the project presentation, “Not after everything you made me do for you! Now all of a sudden when I need you the most, you’re leaving me to hang dry?!!!” A mini crowd was gathering around them.Leonard dragged her away from prying eyes into a corner, he pinned her with his elbow at her neck to the wall, “Listen and listen caref
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 27. But they are not protecting you now either, are they? What’s the difference?
A distance away from Evertrise, Sebastian was running at full speed towards the location of the Ministries in Skymin City. It was located in the heart of the city but getting there required covering a considerable distance. And Skymin City was large.Sebastian’s speed, paired with his martial arts could surpass that of a horse at full speed, but even with that speed, it was nothing compared to the speed of a car which would have gotten him there in less than fifteen minutes. The distance he covered with his current speed felt like a drop in the ocean compared to the distance he still needed to cover. The city was just that large. He mentally laughed at himself upon recalling how he confidently told Cecile not to worry, and that he would be back on time.At this speed, if he made it back in time for lunch, then he was a living human rocket! Poverty wasn’t a good thing, and as Sebastian ran, the irritation of being poor gnawed away at him. In that moment, he began to consider the Guerri

The more Cecile thought about it, the stranger it was.Why would Leonard be so confident in presenting the stolen design without making any adjustments to it? The pairs were to be called up randomly, so how was he so certain that he would present before her and Sebastian?Her guess was, that Leonard didn’t just tamper with the timing of the presentation, he also tampered with Lecturer Grizzalo’s shuffling program. With that realization, she smiled as she wheeled up their prototype. It was covered with a white cloak.“Where is Sebastian?” One of Leonard’s minions shouted from the sidelines.“Yeah, it’s supposed to be a team presentation, not a solo presentation.” Yet another minion added.Cecile looked to Lecturer Grizzalo and he clarified, “Sebastian took an excuse from me this morning to get a report which he needs for this project. He mentioned he would be back before his partner was done so let’s wait and see, shall we? In the meantime, Cecile, please proceed. If he’s not back by th

“How is it not the same thing? The scale model of Sebastian’s project is exactly the same as that of Leonard!”“Yeah!”“If it weren’t the same project, how is it possible that it has the same features as that of Leonard?”“Exactly!” There were mixed reactions among the students in the crowd.“I guess we’ll find out after my presentation if the two projects are truly similar or not.” Cecile gave a charming smile that sent millions of hearts melting, male and female. All their attention was fully on her now and the room was still.Everyone was paying rapt attention to hear what she would say, and how she would turn this project, which was a replica of Leonard’s own into something different.“I would like to point out a few things about Elemour. Just like Leonard rightly mentioned, it is indeed a hilly and mountainous terrain. One so scary-looking, it was written off as a waste land, laying bare for any constructor who would be daring enough to make something of it.”“However, the mount

Expatriate Wilson held Sebastian’s angry gaze with his own, there was a mini-starring contest between the two as he considered all the possibilities.Brushing off the situation was not an option as news of what happened would still reach Country B. And if they knew he was here and did nothing about the situation, there would be a pound of flesh to pay.Secondly, if he used Sebastian as a scapegoat, the possibility of Cecile intervening was very high, judging from her disposition.If he used any other person, apart from Alexo as a scapegoat, he had a feeling Sebastian would do something to make the situation escalate even further. The only option was to do as Sebastian wanted. The boy weaved the trap perfectly and he could only dance to his tune as a pawn in his plan.With what just happened, if he had doubts before about Sebastian’s academic standing as he had heard, or even doubted his capabilities from the drama that was happening with his project, all the doubts evaporated with Seb
THE RISE OF THE ABANDONED HEIR 1. Even if you Die
Sebastian ran like his life depended on it to the exam hall and actually, his life did depend on it. He had been fighting all night long. Part of his side test for the Guerrieri trials was to defeat an underground den and this was no simple underground den. They used acids actively in their operations and his job was to subdue them or completely wipe them out.He had fought into the morning – the fight took so long because he had other plans in mind, outside the task given to him by the Guerriero family. He was not a mere contestant; he had a secret agenda, and as an abandoned son, he only had himself to rely on to get revenge and to make a living.When he checked his time, it was 6 am and he had his first semester test that morning by 8 am.Attendance was the crucial factor here and not necessarily the grade as it would determine if you could write the finals for that semester.He stepped onto the road and as far as he could see, there were no vehicles, not even a bicycle in sight.
