"Huh? Wellstone Collage? Wait, why Wellstone College? What does that place have to do with any of this?" Johnathan asked in a panic after thinking about all his classmates that must have gotten admitted there.Primrose High school just like a select few other schools of similar status has a partnership program with Wellstone College. This partnership makes their students more favored during the selection process for admission.Certainly, some of the people who wrote the admission exam with Johnathan would have been admitted there, people like Molly and Bradly so the thought of that place being connected to this case was alarming.“Late Master Jaxon and I have been investigating this case for over a decade now by going with what little memory he had of the event. Just recently, one of our channels revealed to us a connection with Wellstone Collage that we didn’t know before” Abraham saidJohnathan looked down at the letter and creased his forehead. He said, “So are you saying that one

"Wait, you're Gustav? The designer Gustav?" Johnathan asked in amazement.Gustav walked closer quickly and bowed his head to Johnathan and so did his assistants."Yes Master Cross, that's me. It's my absolute pleasure to meet you and to be of service to you. These two with me are my assistants Lynette and Tori" Gustav said and remained to bow until Johnathan told him and his assistants to raise their heads."So Gustav, what brings you here? Don't tell me that you, the famous Gustav is going to be styling me?" Johnathan asked and the smirk Gustav had was all the evidence he needed."If the young master will just stand like this, I would like to take your measurements," Gustav said, showing Johnathan the exact position to stand in and Johnathan followed, acting very happy to oblige."Lynette, bring me the tape, and Tori, go bring me the materials we'll need from outside the room" Gustav instructed and his two assistants rushed to do as was told.While Gustav and his assistants did their

"Good evening Sir— Umm, I mean grandfather!" Johnathan bowed to Zebadiah. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you from Abraham"Zebadiah looked at Johnathan very well before he grinned from ear to ear."What are you doing standing over there Johnathan, come give your grandfather a big hug!" Zebadiah said, spreading his arms out and waiting for Johnathan to do what was told.Johnathan rushed towards Zebadiah, reducing the distance between him and Zebadiah by half when he paused suddenly because the door to the study was pushed open even more.The banging sound of the doorknob hitting the wall pulled everyone's attention to want to know who dared to interrupt this grandfather and grandson reunion.Johnathan quickly turned around to find out who had pushed be door and standing by the doorway was an elderly woman with flowing long pudding hair, dressed elegantly and was a similar age to Zebadiah."Where is he?! Where is my darling grandson, Johnathan?!" The woma

Johnathan looked at the pen and hesitated to take it."What's the matter, Johnathan? Take this pen and sign on these documents" Zebadiah said with a commanding tone and Johnathan took it."Our family is the number one and only deliverer of Oat Stone, the most precious mineral in the entire world and we've been doing that since the mineral was first discovered. That's how we've managed to amass such a tremendous amount of wealth throughout the centuries" Zebadiah said as he leaned back into his chair.Johnathan was skimming through the documents, reading what his role as the heir of the Cross fortune was going to be."With our monumental wealth that we can never exhaust even if we tried, what other way is there to spend it than investing in the creation of other very lucrative businesses? These documents have a list of all the businesses we have shares in, how many there are, what they are worth, and their ROI"Johnathan went through the list and after a quick math, he saw just how muc

After his meeting with Zebadiah was over, Johnathan left the study and went looking for Margaret like he promised her he would.Going one time around the mansion while he and Abraham were on their way to meet Zebadiah was enough for Johnathan to make his way around the labyrinth of passages this massive mansion had to offer on his own.He was easily able to make his way to the living room where Margaret would be waiting for him on the couch. Surprisingly, she was with something peculiar on her lap.It was a brown jewelry chest.“Grandmother” Johnathan called out and she took her attention to him, smiling immediately after she saw him.“Here Johnathan, come sit beside me,” Margaret said, patting the couch while adjusting herself to give him ample space to sit on.“You wanted to speak with me, Grandmother?” Johnathan asked as he was sitting down.“Yes, but first of all, how did your meeting with Zebadiah go?” She asked and Johnathan creased his forehead, thinking if he should tell her w

“The Blood Cross?” Johnathan mumbled as he peered closer at the necklace, especially the pendant.His eyes quickly caught sight of strange markings all over the item.“This entire piece is made from the purest Oat Stone and it was a gift from the founding family to ours,” Margaret said and Johnathan ran his finger along the pendant to feel what those strange markings felt like.“If you look closer, those are the faces of all of the previous heirs of our family. The last two are Zebadiah and Jaxon” Margaret said and it finally clicked in Johnathan’s mind what he was looking at.The faces of his ancestors on the pendant had seemed obscure and hard to identify until Margaret told him what they were and he was finally able to see them.“But wait, there’s a smooth space at this end. This part underneath dad’s face is completely untouched” Johnathan said, pointing at the bottom end of the upright post(the vertical part)With a smile, Margaret said “That part is for your face when you become

From the outside looking in, Johnathan was amazed by how beautiful the inside of the apartment was. Aside from his family's mansion, this was the second most impressive interior he's seen in his life."After acquiring this place, I had contractors change some things to suit what someone your age would be interested in Master Johnathan," Abraham said and the two walked into the building.Johnathan wondered what those changes could have been but he soon found out when he was taken on a quick tour of the apartment and what each floor had to offer.There was a gym, a swimming pool, a movie theater, an arcade filled with different amazing games and so much more.The last place they went to was the empty garage."There's nothing here," Johnathan remarked, confused as to what the room they were in was."Yes Master Johnathan, but this is where your cars will be parked. Because it's not that big, I decided to wait until you chose the type of vehicles you'd want to drive before having them mov

The two bouncers stepped closer, pounding their fists and glaring at Johnathan."No wait, I might have lost my ID but there's still a solution," Johnathan said in a panic as he backstepped some more."Oh really? And what solution is that?" The bouncer to the left asked aggressively."You have point zero two seconds to spit your solution out or get pummeled to the ground like a worm," the bouncer to the right said as the two slowed how fast they were approaching Johnathan."I remember what my ID number is so I'll just log into my student portal using my phone," Johnathan said then smiled nervously.Both bouncers looked at each other before looking back at Johnathan."Alright, you have one minute to get it done so do it. Know this, if this is another lie then you really are a dead meat!""Better pray for a good internet connection cause a second later and we won't hear anything you have to say" the bouncer to the left instructed.Johnathan took in a deep breath and then sighed to calm d

Abraham rose from his chair and looked at Johnathan with shock."Master Johnathan, what do you mean by that?! Are you seriously giving up on all of this and want to return home?!" Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

"Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking? For reminding me how I had to listen to your stupid complaints which made my brain melt all those time, watch this" Bradly said then stepped away from Johnathan and in the process, he brought out his phone and raised it in front of everyone.Bradly quickly went to the Bubble Tv platform, found a certain video, copied the link, and then sent it as a comment underneath the post on the scho

Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
