The old Nokia that Sett was holding crashed on the gym's mat, and while his expression altered between pale and red, the shock and anger that he felt at that moment muddied his judgment. Who wouldn't be in this state when their loved ones were about to be stripped naked for questioning?How could someone do that to a minor? If they aren't monsters, then what are they? Sett clenched his teeth. Dammit! Threatening his young sister? Those cops must be tired of living. It would be a lie if he said that he wasn't feeling like skinning someone alive, and it would be an understatement if he didn't yearn to outright murder those cops.Yet, he had to suppress his anger. No, he had to control his boiling rage, as he knew that he was dealing with two police officers. Things would blow out of proportion if the situation wasn't handled carefully. He also knew that it was detrimental if his decision was clouded by emotion.Sett took a deep breath, calming his nerves. He still had time to head towa
Just as the police officers were about to put the handcuffs around Nini's arm, right before they could do so, the police officers raised their sharp eyebrows as they ceased their action when they caught sight of a group of students with a teacher coming toward his direction. "What's going on here?" The PE teacher, Dexter, grimaced. At first, he was skeptical of the situation, but upon seeing it up close, with the addition of the officer's solemn expression and, on top of that, Nini's terrified expression was genuine. Immediately, Teacher Dexter's countenance turned ugly, as he shouted. "What are you guys doing!" At some point, the students also realized something was terribly wrong, so they took out their phones and discreetly turned on the video recording. The two police officers signal each other with their eyes. They couldn't delay any longer, or things would be problematic for them. So one of them steps forward to explain. "We received a report of a hit and run accident in th
Sett witnessed the sight of her little sister, Nini, sprawled on the floor weeping while her friends tightly hugged her, while two police officers were trying to force her to stand up. That wasn't all. He took note of the bald man yelling insults beside Nini. His fuse was maxed out, resulting in his incredible shout, which freaked out everyone on the school plaza. Although he was furious at the moment, it far outweighed his gratification that he made it in time. 'Thank God, I made it on time.' He had frantically driven his car, nearly crashing in the process, just to arrive in time. Nevertheless, it was worth it! At this point, the police officers, Kenneth and Adrian, postponed what they were trying to accomplish after that outburst. They grimaced in irritation after being interrupted. Who the h*ll dared to shout at them? By now, the students and the teachers were gawking at the school passageway. It didn't take long before they spotted a figure. It was Sett, who was slowly stridi
"Nini, why didn't your brother listen?" Sarah was worried sick. Nini's brother was such a nice guy; she wouldn't be able to sleep if something happened to him. "Do you trust your brother that much, Nini?" Kimberly spoke with an anxious tone. "En, I trust my brother!" Nini spoke with confidence while nodding her head without the slightest bit of hesitation. Upon hearing Nini's words, Sarah and Kimberly look incredulously at her. When all was said and done, they could only stare at the gradually farther away back of Sett and the two police officers. It didn't take long before Sett was led beneath a walkway bridge, near the abandoned bungalows. The place could be deemed remote and there was barely anyone in sight, apart from a small number of hobos glancing from time to time while warming themselves in some corner. "You guys sure this is the back of the school?" Sett dropped the question while raising an eyebrow. "Just continue to walk, Chubby. We just want to have a small talk wi
"You're dead, chubby! You hear me, you're good as dead!" Kenneth shrieked hysterically.A vein poked out of Sett's forehead. He was getting annoyed at this police officer's howling and screaming insults. Why is this guy so loud? Why couldn't he just shut his trap? Hey, if others saw this police officer in a miserable state, wouldn't they think he was about to be butchered or something? "Give me a break." Sett mumbled while sitting on top of the grassy ground. He was dead tired already. 'After this is solved, I need to attend tonight's audition for the company. This is way too exhausting.' Just then, Sett felt the vibration On the surface, followed by the engine roaring. He instinctively shifted his sharp gaze toward the northwest."So, they've finally arrived." It didn't take long before the noise of sirens blended with the sound of tires grinding on the soil, as police pursuit vehicles and special vehicles arrived at the scene. It is worth mentioning that the police vehicles wer
"Old thing, don't push your luck." Macho Karl growled. "What did you say? Say that again, you brute, and I'll charge you for the earlier manhandling of me!" Principal Jethro couldn't take it lying down that he was being insulted by a bull. He added. "Have you been living under a rock? You don't know who you are talking to?" Sett wasn't in the mood to listen to more of this unreasonable old man's nonsense. Moreover, he has more important things to do, as his Aunt Margaret at home must be worried sick about Nini's situation. "Macho Karl, there's no need to be so worked up with a mad man." Sett waved his hand dismissively. The principal was bewildered; he didn't think Sett would completely ignore him. This in turn fanned the principal, Jethro's temper. "Young man, you are very rude! You and your failure of a sister are the same! Your parents must have failed in educating you as an adult! People like you are bad luck to societ-" Abruptly, a crisp sound could be heard loud and cl
It was a long-awaited and exciting day for one of Darian City's largest corporations. Famous celebrities around the globe were invited as the judges for tonight's upcoming finale of choosing among the best participants for the movie role. One couldn't fathom how grand it would be. It was to be expected that outstanding figures around Darian City wouldn't want to miss such an opportunity to come view the new emerging stars! At the high-rise "Dreams Do Come True" corporate building. Outstanding men, carrying confidence, and gorgeous ladies with ravaging statures were either preparing or rehearsing in the lobby. The smell of competitiveness in the atmosphere could be felt. In the unsuspecting corner beside the vending machine, a chubby man could be seen gazing intently at the cup of coffee in his hand. This person had just arrived not too long ago. "Good stuff! The aroma is neither too strong nor too light, just perfect!" Sett gulped down the coffee. The flavor was provoking his taste
The moment Sett stepped into the elevator, he knew that his fate was sealed. Meeting face-to-face with his mother-in-law and father-in-law inside the elevator was like stepping on a landmine. His sister-in-law, Elena, was also present with an unreadable expression; maybe she was baffled or something. Sett's father-in-law, Mr. Clayton Laurel, crossed his muscular forearm arm between his chest, his tiger-like gaze pricking Sett's skin. On the other hand, his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Laurel, was narrowing her bright green eyes into slits. Talking about being stalked by a venomous snake...There was a long, painful-awkward silence. The stiffness in the air was suffocating.Meanwhile, Elena Laurel had an amused look glued to her sweet face. Seeing the dumbfounded expression on her brother-in-law's face made her day. Indeed, she was enjoying it..."I didn't expect to see you here, my darling son-in-law." Mrs. Elizabeth was the first to break the ice with her soothing voice.Sett didn't i
