chapter sevety two
A lot of speculations kept going around the campus immediately I got back. Most of the students wondering if I am Jeremiah were really close. I had left home after the marriage of my mother and Zack. I was getting older and not only that, I was also getting richer. Probably richer than many of my peers. I no longer had to queue in the cafeteria to eat. Most of the students moved immediately I walked in. Money is power and Power means a lot. Most of the ladies wanted to be my friends. But I had my eyes on only just one person. Sandra. She was the only one who sticked by me when I was going through my shit. She helped me believed in myself and also brought out the best in me. " Hey big boy. Wanna come for my birthday party?" A girl asked walking closer to me. I raised my head just in time to see her face. She was one of the cliché in the school. They don't talk to you except when absolutely necessary. Most of the kids on here are influential and one can develop a lot of conne
chapter seventy one
Everything went quiet. Too quiet. It was as if the bidders has heard the most outrageous amount of money. A money they can't level up with. I could see it in their eyes. In the way they all turned to stare at my table. Every conversation in the hall froze. Even the waiters stopped walking. The whole place felt like someone had suddenly turned off the sound in the world.All eyes were on me.₦8 billion.My bid was shining on the giant screen like a punch to everyone’s face. I could feel the pressure in the air shift. People were staring like I had just slapped a king.Rossa didn’t move. He didn’t breathe. He just stared straight ahead with his jaw tight.Zack’s eyes never left me. He stood on that balcony like a demon king, hands behind his back, shoulders straight, anger rolling off him like heat. My mother touched his arm again, trying to whisper something, but he did not look at her.I don't know why she was doing any of this. I want to believe she was doing all of this for me.
chapter seventy
The ride to the auction house was quiet for the next ten minutes. Rossa drove like a man who had done this all his life, one hand on the wheel, the other resting on the door. His calmness was strange. Almost like he was not scared of what was going on. I could tell he had done this a lot of time. I watched him closely.He didn’t act like someone grieving his uncle. He didn’t act like someone angry or sad. He acted like someone on a mission. Someone who had waited for this moment for a very long time.The system whispered:[ KEEP WATCHING HIM. HIS HEART RATE IS TOO STEADY FOR SOMEONE WHO LOST FAMILY TODAY. ]I said nothing.City lights passed by the windows. Tall buildings glowed like stars. My heart beat faster with each mile. I was not just going for an auction. I was walking into a den filled with snakes. Rich snakes. Dangerous snakes. People who would kill without thinking twice.And tonight… I was going to shake their world.Rossa finally spoke.“You have a plan?”“Yes,” I rep
chapter seventy
I woke up to the sound of the system pulling me back into myself. It was not gentle this time. It felt like someone dragged me out of a deep hole and threw me into my own body again.My eyes snapped open.The room was dark. Only the city lights outside the window flashed in through the curtains. I sat up slowly, still feeling the weight of everything that had happened. Doctor Morgan’s face kept flashing in my head. The blood. The glass. His voice telling me to find the truth. Telling me to run.“System,” I said quietly.No answer.“System?” I asked again.[ I AM HERE, MASTER PONTIUS. ]His voice echoed in my head. It was quieter this time, almost soft.“What time is it?” I asked as I rubbed my face.[ 7:42 PM. YOU HAVE ONE HOUR AND EIGHTEEN MINUTES BEFORE THE AUCTION STARTS. ]I nodded slowly. “Good. Then we still have time.”[ WE DO. BUT YOU NEED TO EAT FIRST. YOU HAVE ZERO ENERGY LEFT. ]I got off the bed, my legs still feeling weak. When I walked to the bathroom and looked into the
chapter sixty nine
" Promise me that you are not going to die." I said painstakingly as I stared at the man who was supposed to tell me what I needed to know. Doctor Morgan looked at me and smiled. " I still. ant believe you are doing this. I am sorry that I didn't tell you sooner." he said with his eyes a little watery. But not for long. A bullet penetrated through the windshield and smashed against Doctor Morgan's forehead. " No! No!!" I said immediately rushing to his side while the doctor gasped on the floor. " Please, stay with me. You are going to be fine. I will get you out of here." I said with tears falling down my cheek. I knew it was all my fault. I shouldn't have come find him. I should have just stayed away and try to solve things on my own. " Go, Pontius. You can not be here. They are coming." Doctor Morgan said pushing me back. I could hear them trying to break in. " Come back when all of this is done. You are going to find it here." he said pointing to an old picture on the wall.
chapter sixty eight
I know whoever doesn't want .ebto close the Henderson hospital deal want it for themselves. At first, I thought it was Zack. But maybe, just maybe this all goes beyond everything. Maybe the system, my father's death, was a conspiracy.it I my Zack had a hand in. Maybe it goes far beyond it. The night air felt colder than usual as I stood on the balcony. The wind brushed against my face, carrying the faint sounds of cars, distant music, and the heartbeat of the city. But all I could hear was the echo of that message in my mind.We warned you. Stay away from Henderson Medical Center.Warned me?No.They provoked me.I placed my hands on the rail, squeezing it until my knuckles turned white. Whoever kept sending those threats clearly didn’t know me. They didn’t know what I had survived. They didn’t know that every danger only pushed me harder.My phone buzzed again.Another message. Same unknown number.“This is your final warning. Turn back.”I laughed softly. “Final warning? I’m jus
