..The following days went by uneventfully. It was nothing much except classes and projects and classes and so on. However, one of the fateful days Landon returned back to the dorm room only to run into a conversation that piqued his interest.“Have you guys noticed anything about Ian lately?”“I thought I was the only one who noticed something was wrong with him.”“Yeah! He doesn’t seem to be himself. Most of the time he’s zoned out. Like we can be having a conversation now and he’s present but he’s not present.”“Then there’s the part where he’s always out. He’s not as cheerful as he used to be.”“Have you tried asking him if something is wrong?”“Bro, who are you talking to? I have tried asking if he’s okay several times. Countless times I have asked if something is wrong but he always gives me a smile and says he’s okay.”“To even make things odd he hurriedly left for home back this morning. The way he hurried home there’s definitely something wrong.”Upon hearing that Ian had go
..“Oh my god, this guy is done for.”“It looks like he’s new here so he doesn’t know who he has just messed with.”“Exactly I feel pity for him. He had to go get Archie annoyed.”Everyone was looking at Landon with eyes of pity.The people’s reactions in the diner did not go unnoticed by Jude and the rest so they were prepared to back Landon up anytime. To them what Landon had done was the right thing. If Landon had not taken action to throw a plate at Archie they would’ve also intervened themselves. After all, how can they feel comfortable to see a lady getting abused before their very eyes? They won’t be able to live with themselves if they let such a thing happen. Since they felt Landon had done the right thing they were with him all the way.Archie was already furious at this point so he just smiled. “It’s been a while since I have dealt with someone as cocky as you. Boys, how about we show this guy how’s done?”“Stop it you all!” It was then a young man who seemed to be in his
..It didn’t take long, Martha drove them to the Malcom’s farm.She’s a worker on the farm. After the way she had spoken in the car, the group was now 100% sure something was wrong with Ian but no matter how many times the boys asked her she didn’t reveal any further information. She only told them they would see for themselves when they get to the Malcom’s farm and Ian would do well to explain things to them.Upon getting to the farm they saw Ian looking very shabby. He was currently taking care of the cattle by feeding them.“Ian!”Ian turned around the minute he heard his name from a familiar voice.“Guys?” Ian was stunned to see all his dorm mates. “What are you guys doing here?”“We came looking for you! We haven’t been able to reach you for three days now we got really worried.” Jude replied.“Yeah, and besides we also know that you haven’t been yourself for the past few days so we have been worried. Added to the fact your number was switched off we didn’t know what to do anymo
..“I’m happy to see that you all care about me but how can you guys help me? My uncle has powerful people helping him in Hazelwood. Tomorrow is his birthday and the prominent figures here in Hazelwood are electing him to be the town's new chief at his birthday banquet that will be held on this farm tomorrow. I don’t see any way of beating my uncle.” Ian said dejectedly.“Did you just say your uncle is having a banquet tomorrow?” Asked Landon.“Yes, he is.” “Then that’s how we will make them pay tomorrow. We are going to storm a party.” Landon said confidently.“What?! Are you serious? We can’t storm my uncle’s birthday party because that would get us in trouble. There are going to be important figures in Hazelwood attending his birthday banquet tomorrow and not only that, I even heard big bosses from Dimvale City will be attending his birthday as well. Since my uncle is to be elected the new chief they want to discuss some plans on the development that would be happening in Hazelwo
..Inside the mansion of the Malcom’s farm.A family was having a quiet and peaceful dinner.“Honey, have you made the necessary preparations for tomorrow?” Edwin asked as he looked at his wife.“Yes my dear, don’t worry your wife did an excellent job.” Helen chuckled as she replied to her husband in a cheerful manner.It was clear that the family of four was in a good mood. The reason was that they were now living the life. They now had wealth and soon they will have total power in this Hazelwood that is about to be developed.Edwin couldn’t stop smiling. Every time he smiles he suddenly remembers a question to ask about tomorrow and then he gets his answer. After all, everything had to be perfect for tomorrow. Tomorrow was his day and he had waited a long time for it so he did not want even the slightest thing to ruin his day tomorrow.“Don’t worry Dad. Everything has been properly attended to. Nothing will be able to stop you from being our new chief tomorrow. Not even God can do
..“Excuse me but who are you?” Edwin asked with a frown as he glared at the young man who had just interrupted his speech.There was nothing extraordinary about the young man to give him off as a person of importance and most importantly the young man’s words had just made him extremely annoyed.“I am someone telling you that you don’t deserve to be the Chief of this town so back off.”Edwin feigned laughter. In short, he was mostly confused.He had made sure that today was absolutely perfect to prevent any scandal so seeing someone creating such a scandal while he was speaking got him very annoyed.“Young man, how did you get in here?”“I just walked right in,” Landon replied with a smile.“Who the hell is this loser and why is he interrupting Mr. Malcom’s speech?”“I don’t know who he is but he’s being a nuisance.”“Hey, you! Who are you to be causing this disturbance? Get out of here!”“Who let this idiot in? Who let this madman in? Someone get the security to throw him out, he’s
..With just a few words Edwin, his family, and all those involved in the fraud were sent away to suffer a fate that was equal to death.This was the power of the Rivera family. Today everyone in the gathering understood the fact that it was not an overstatement when they said the Rivera family was indeed powerful. Today many people in Hazelwood got to see this for themselves. What was even more shocking was the young man who had gotten Jasmine to listen to him. They all saw the fact that Jasmine treated Landon with respect and he was the one who had suggested the punishment that was enforced by Jasmine.They were all looking at Landon like he was someone important. He had to be important. The more they tried to find out anything about Landon the more mysterious he was.“Who is he?”“I don’t know. Maybe he’s somebody important in Dimvale City as well.”“I know almost all the popular figures in Dimvale City but I don’t know him.”Various men and women were already gossiping as they l
..A 50-year-old man was seated in his luxurious room. He seemed to be meditating as both his eyes were closed as he sat on the bed.However, his meditation did not take long as he was interrupted by a knock on his door.“Lord Leonard?”Leonard opened his eyes and with a stern look, he looked in the direction of the door. “Come in.”The person on the other end of the door opened the door and stepped into the room. The person that had entered the room was an old man much more older than Leonard but his eyes glinted with fear towards Leonard.The old man was Leonard’s butler. The butler knew that Leonard was the kind of person who hated interruption during meditation. However, the butler knew in his heart that he did not decide to interrupt Leonard’s meditation for no just reason.“Lord Leonard I think you want to see this.” The butler said as handed Leonard an apple tab.Leonard's eyes lit up in a complicated way as he looked at the tab.“Who did this?” Leonard asked coldly.“I don’t
