Kael didn’t look back. He knew better now and he was slowly beginning to see the world for what it is. He was slowly moving on from people who wanted him to fall, people who hated him. That part of his life, the part that begged for scraps and apologies from people who saw him as less, was over. And yet… every footstep forward came with a whisper in his head.“You must always act in line with justice…”Kael gritted his teeth. “Then let justice come to those who deserve it.” He walked for blocks, scanning the streets, watching people with a different lens now—people who weren’t seen. The system didn’t just ask for strength. It demanded purpose. The second recruit came unexpectedly. A boy—no older than sixteen—was squatting behind a mechanic shop, wrapping bloody knuckles in a dirty rag. He had a split lip, swollen eye, and the stubborn look of someone who had fought too many times to lose hope now. Kael crouched beside him. “You fight for money?” The boy flinched, then looked K

There is a way you are being looked at when people think you cannot afford them. You are being treated like a scumbag, like garbage but all of that changes when they notice that you are no longer the same poor boy they order around anymore. Kael looked at his phone and he wasn't sure if he was dreaming or was hallucinating. Everything felt so unreal. Like it was some movie and he was only the main character. Kael still couldn't believe if he could have a company of his own even if he had worked his ass off for thirty good years. This can't be real. It can't be happening. That was the same word be kept repeating and telling himself as he grabbed his phone looking at the money that just dropped into his account. A gentle smile appeared on his lips yet again. Kael had just completed the mission. Gathered men that was going to help him oversee the company that he was not even sure of what he was going to make of it. It would have been nice if the system had given him a cl

The senior’s eyes were cold, his tone clipped as he shoved the letter into Kael's chest. “Kael. Headmaster’s office. Now.” His fingers trembled slightly as he took the folded paper. Behind him, Kael could feel the three predators he just unleashed—Leon, Viper, and Gage—watching with sharp, hungry eyes. Leon leaned in, his breath hot against his ear. “Guess you won’t need us to walk you there. But don’t forget our deal.” “Half in three days,” Viper added with a twisted grin. “Tick, tock.” Kael forced himself to nod, slipping the letter into his pocket. “You’ll get it.” They laughed, not because they believed him, but because they knew he had no other choice.No one has ever thought of going to that side of the school. At least not someone who had a use for his life. Everyone knew better, but it looks like Kael was not thinking straight. He knew his money couldn't protect him, but this trio might. The senior who had delivered the summons raised an eyebrow at the exchange but s

"I see you." Maya said, twisting one of her hair braids. "You are the name on everyone's tongue." "I am?" Kael said, staring at her face in disbelief. Well, he had done what none of the rich kids could. Freed the most notorious boys in the east wing. "Do you think you can have them under your control?" Maya said immediately, making eye contact with me. "When you say who, you mean Viper, Leon, and Gage. Right?" Kael said, slightly dipping his hands into his pocket. "Yes. You set them free. Why?" Kael looked at her and still didn't understand what a girl like Maya was doing with someone like him. "What do you mean, why?" he asked with his eyebrows arched; his lips twitched slightly. Maya shrugged her shoulders. "You should know by now that they are dangerous. They are not only dangerous, but they all come from a family that is quite notorious." Her words scared Kale a bit. "Do I scare you?" she asked, noticing the look he had on his face. "No, not really. "But Jason does," he

Taking a bold step was actually all it took for Kael. Maya was not only the most sought-after girl on campus, but she also had this magnetic pull that could attract any guy that she wanted. And Kael was not going to be attracted to her. He was going to make her want him. Beg him for every touch and every kiss. As Kael sat down by Maya, the cafeteria went silent. It feels like they all were waiting for them to talk. To say a single word, anything actually. But instead, Kael said nothing except for his cutlery banging the plate each time he tried to pick up his steak meat. [ AFTER A WHILE ]Maya looked at him. "You do know they are waiting for us to say something." Kael dropped the fork and stared at Maya; he grabbed the white napkin and cleaned his mouth. A gentle smile was plastered on his face as he grabbed a cup of water. Maya laughed. She had never given anyone as much attention as she had given to Kael. She waited for him, making sure he dropped the glass cup he was holding
