The Disolate Scion Infirmary
Apart from the hum of the car's engine, the only audible sound was the continuous chatter until the woman's voice interrupted, "When did you become so talkative?"Her emotionless remark immediately led Carlos to close his mouth, rendering him silent.It seemed that he had indeed been talking too much, for reasons unknown to him. He just couldn't seem to stop when faced with Zak. Perhaps it was because Zak spoke so sparingly that Carlos compensated by being more talkative.The car's interior returned to silence.Zak remained wordless, his gaze fixed ahead, undisturbed.Until an unmistakable gaze caught his attention, prompting him to pause and instinctively raise his eyes to the rearview mirror.However, she didn't turn her gaze in his direction, as if Zak's previous feeling was a mere illusion.After ten minutes, the car came to a stop, and Zak stepped out, saying, "Thank you."He hesitated for a moment and added, "Thank you, Ms. Gilliam, for giving me a ride back."The woman turned h

"Zak, finally laid eyes on you. There's something different about you, and that school uniform suits you well. Unlike me, stuck in that rundown school." Zak pulled her aside with a stoic expression. "What brings you here?" "School's on break, and I missed you, so I decided to come." The girl looked up at Zak, her eyes shimmering. Ignoring her hopeful gaze, Zak retrieved his phone and dialed the orphanage superintendent. In a composed tone, he reported, "Miracle has run away." "I've told her repeatedly not to seek you out, but this child never listens." The orphanage superintendent sighed in resignation. "She always thinks you've become wealthy and wants to follow you. Hurry and convince her to come back." Zak handed the phone to Miracle. Miracle declined to answer, kicked nearby stones, and stated, "Back when we were in the orphanage, you weren't this indifferent to me. Just because you have money now doesn't mean you can ignore me, Zak. It's too heartless." The surroundings fel

Disregarding the tirade, Zak retrieved his phone, opened the dialer, and placed it on the table, dialing 911 right before the man. His attention focused on the man's ring-laden fingers. Zak chuckled softly, departing from his previous mild demeanor, his features taking on a somewhat shadowy cast. He spoke deliberately, "You've been drinking and made an attempt to harass me upon entering this establishment. Your actions fall under the purview of harassing a minor." "Alternatively, should I call the police to have them inform your wife to come and take you home?" Both statements left the man in a state of panic. He stammered, unable to fathom how Zak knew about his wife, and hastily stood up, his agitation causing him to stutter. "N-no! Where did I... harass you? I was merely trying to... swat away the mosquitoes on your face. Don't call the police, and I won't eat here anymore. Seriously..." Before anyone else could react, he made a hasty exit. Moving at an accelerated pace, he st

"What gives you the right?" Zak asked softly."Because I'm your... brother!" Juelz replied angrily, his mind entertaining the thought of dunking Zak's head into the bowl of instant noodles.Ignoring Juelz's outburst, Zak took a step back, holding the bowl of noodles, and began eating in front of him.The aroma wafted through the air, making Juelz's already grumbling stomach even more uncomfortable. He widened his eyes and started to say something, but stopped short.Feeling overwhelmed by embarrassment, exhaustion, and hunger, Juelz struggled to articulate his thoughts. He reached for the nearby hot water, almost splashing it on Zak, but managed to regain his composure at the last moment. With a sneer, he said, "You're so selfish, always eating alone. With so many of us hungry, how can you enjoy your meal alone?"Raising his voice, he added, "Let's go. My brother can be difficult. If we stay any longer, he might think we're after his things."Zak remained unfazed, his head slightly bo

Adan realized her thoughts were too peculiar, so she quickly looked away and retreated to her room, wary of delving further into them.In the early hours of the morning, around five o'clock, a few early risers excitedly gathered to catch a glimpse of the sunrise.However, the weather didn't cooperate; the sun only managed to peek out from behind thick clouds around six o'clock, quickly disappearing again due to gusts of wind.Disappointed murmurs filled the air among the surrounding individuals.Ms. Mcleod briskly clapped her hands, rallying everyone for a few group photos."Alright, it's time to head down the mountain; let's meet at its base." Ms. Mcleod put away her camera and commented, "Although we missed the sunrise, catching a glimpse of the mountain before the mist clears is equally rewarding."Despite their grumbling, most of the students reluctantly started their descent, voicing their discontent.As Ms. Mcleod prepared to put away her camera, she noticed Zak lingering by the

Zak subtly gestured with his hand. His expression remained unreadable, leaving Juelz unsure of his intentions. Nevertheless, Juelz assumed Zak wouldn't dare to play any tricks and approached without hesitation. "Go ahead, as long as we fulfill..." Before he could finish his sentence, Zak interrupted him. Without changing his expression, Zak suddenly shoved the bank card into Juelz's mouth, then tilted his head slightly and let out a soft chuckle. In that moment, Zak dropped his neutral facade, revealing a sinister expression beneath his usual mild demeanor. He even pushed the bank card further into Juelz's mouth to prevent it from being expelled. "This bank card isn't for me, but it suits you perfectly for keeping quiet." His words, delivered in a chilling tone with a hint of subtle amusement, sent shivers down Juelz's spine. Wide-eyed, Juelz finally reacted by spitting out the bank card, his mouth stinging as he rubbed it. Outraged and shocked, his immediate response was to co

"I won't regret this decision. If there's any regret, it's on your end," Zak said nonchalantly, "because I don't have anything to offer in return."The rain persisted, creating a heavy and chilly atmosphere, as if an unspoken agreement hung between them.Davis quickly got out of the car, opening the door to glimpse Camilla holding Zak's hand.Even though Camilla's interest in Zak was evident, the swift progression caught him off guard."Davis," Camilla's voice softly called out.Davis snapped out of his thoughts, took Zak's suitcase, stashed it in the trunk, and then returned to the driver's seat. "Where to now?" he asked."To the villa in the eastern suburbs," Camilla replied, closing the car door and draping a blanket over Zak.Zak sat still, his pale face and lowered gaze revealing no emotion.After a moment, he seemed to collect himself, grabbing the blanket with a hoarse voice, "Thanks.""Still planning to go to Carlos's school?" Camilla asked, handing him a tissue to wipe away t
The Disolate Scion Business trip
"A plate of vegetables for eighty dollars is a bit steep for me."The people nearby were discussing the food container Zak was carrying until he chimed in softly, "My family... just carved on the food container for fun. It's not the one you mentioned.""Oh, I see now.""With the logo carved so accurately, your family could think about taking up carving.""Hahaha, I fell for it. If it were real, this meal would easily cost a few thousand."Zak took a seat and opened the food container, revealing three dishes, a modest portion suitable for one person.As Zak finished his meal, he felt his phone buzz with a message from Camilla: "Done eating?""Yep, all done," Zak replied."Take a photo," Camilla requested.Despite his uncertainty about the request, Zak complied and sent a picture.He only managed to eat some of the three dishes; the rest he couldn't finish, but he polished off all the soup."You've eaten too little," Camilla remarked.Zak was caught off guard and responded, "Next time,
