Call for helpAkira sat in her brother's office, her mind racing with the impossible choice she faced. "Taro, I don't know what to do. Father wants me to lure Jian into a trap, but I can't do that. I owe him my life."Taro's expression was sympathetic, but his eyes gleamed with ambition. "I understand, sister. But you must think of the family's interests. Father's orders are not to be disobeyed."Akira nodded, but her heart was heavy with doubt. She didn't know that Taro was secretly planning to betray her, and that his advice was merely a ploy to gain her trust.Meanwhile, Jian Li was facing his own dilemma. His father, Victor Li, had ordered him to kill Akira, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He had saved her life once, and he couldn't repay that debt by taking her life now.As Akira and Jian struggled with their loyalty and duty, the tension between the Yakuza and Triads continued to escalate. It was only a matter of time before the conflict exploded into violence. Akira kne
ShockedGregory College. A college that opened it's arms, welcoming to those of High-class, Mid-class and lower-class. This was a college that Elian Gray chose, and God willing, he scored the highest mark in the exams and got awarded a scholarship to study here. Even though he's been orphaned at a young age, Elian always had this dream that things will turn out better, and that's why he never gave up on life.Elian Gray walked across the college grounds, lost in thought. He had been struggling to make ends meet, working multiple jobs to support himself and his girlfriend, Aurora 'Rory' Blackwood. He had hoped that today would be a better day, but as he saw Rory waiting for him by the fountain, he sensed something was off."Elian, we need to talk," Rory said, her voice cold and detached."Hey, what's going on?" Elian asked, feeling a knot in his stomach."I've been thinking, and I've realized that I deserve better than someone who can barely take care of himself, let alone me," Rory s
Play gamesAs soon as Elian emerged from the cliff, he assessed his situation. He was battered and bruised but alive.“That little prick. Just because his father's got some dough, he believes he can do whatever he wants. Well newsflash, 'cause I'm going to make sure they regret everything they've done.” Elian muttered to himself as he got up from all the mud around him.He stumbled upon a small river nearby and cleaned himself up.“I gotta get home quick.” Elian was very much upset. How could Rory just stand there and watch him being beaten to pulp? Why didn't the other students help him? Just because he was poor and had no one to back him up? All these thoughts ran across his mind as he walked towards the street still on his wet clothes.He then found a public phone and called a local taxi service to take him back to town as he had drifted off to this unknown place.Rory's betrayal cuts him deeper than a hot knife on a butter.Back in the town, he visited a thrift store and bought so
Gamechanger[THE NEXT DAY]Elian stood outside Michael's office, his heart racing with anticipation. He had the evidence, and he was ready to confront the man who had wronged him.He took a deep breath, straightened his shoulders, and walked into the office. Michael looked up from his desk, a look of surprise followed by a sneer."Elian Gray," Michael said, his voice dripping with contempt. "I thought you were still crawling in the gutter where you belong."Elian smiled, his eyes glinting with determination. "Hell Michael, still using that crappy trash talk, it seems you ain't got anything new."Michael snorted. "You're still a nobody, Elian. You'll never be able to touch me."“Man, ain't that sick? Well, I have something I'm sure will shut you up and make you sing a different tone.”Elian pulled out his phone and played the recording he had obtained at the charity event. Michael's eyes widened as he realized what was happening. Not only did Elian show up and ruined his follow-up plan
DangerElian walked into his small apartment, exhausted but triumphant. He had just completed his mission and gathered evidence of Michael's wrongdoing. He couldn't wait to see the look on Michael's face when he was brought to justice.First things first, Elian decided to use his rewards to upgrade his living situation. He had been living in a small, dingy apartment for months, and it was time for a change.He took out his small mobile phone and decided to phone a company he once saw in an ad somewhere.“Hello. Is this Joaquin Rentals? I'm calling to know if there's vacancy in your area. I need an apartment.”“Yes, this is Joaquin. And yes there's vacancy. What kind of an apartment do you need?” the voice of a female rang forth.“What can ten grand get me?” Elian asked.“Certainly not a villa, but something close to it.”“Good. I will be down at your office in tomorrow morning.” Elian said, a bit ecstatic. He had just used the $10,000 reward to rent a new apartment, one that going to
JealousElian walked into his computer class, still shaken by the confrontation with Michael. He took his seat, trying to focus on the lesson ahead.Mister Erikson, the computer teacher, walked in, a laptop in hand. "Alright, class. Today, we're going to learn about hacking. Each of you will come up to my desk and try to hack into my phone."The students murmured excitedly as Mister Erikson called the first student up. One by one, they tried to hack into the phone, some succeeding, others failing.When it was Michael's turn, the class erupted in praise. "Oh, Michael's going to crush this!" said Sarah."He's so rich and talented!" added John."I bet he can hack into anything!" chimed in Emily.Michael smiled smugly, taking his place at the desk."Yeah, I'm basically a genius," he said, winking at his friends. Michael walked majestically towards the desk, opened the laptop and connected to the internet. It was time for him to shine.But as he started typing, his smile faltered. He tried

AltercationElian walked out of the classroom, his mind still reeling from the confrontation with Rory. He couldn't believe she would defend Michael like that. As he walked down the hallway, someone bumped into him, apologizing profusely. But as Elian looked up, he saw it was one of Rory's friends, holding out a letter."Rory wants you to meet her at the basketball court," she said, before quickly scurrying away.Elian's heart sank. What did Rory want now? He hesitated for a moment, but his curiosity got the better of him. He made his way to the basketball court, his senses on high alert.As he approached the court, he saw Rory standing alone, her eyes fixed on him. But as he got closer, he realized it wasn't just Rory waiting for him. Michael's entire gang was there, their faces twisted in sneers and snarls."Welcome, Elian," Michael sneered, his eyes gleaming with malice. "We've been waiting for you."Elian's instincts screamed at him to run, but his feet seemed rooted to the spot.
