Jedidiah's Rise To Power

Chapter 04

— Hey Jed, guess what? you have the potential of clinching a scholarship into one of the most prestigious Academy for Elites. Oh, and the icing on the cake - you have a bougie big-shot for a god father!

Just when Jedidiah felt like he couldn't get any more sudden surprises since the System surfaced as well as the visit he got from Chuck Diesel, he found himself being discharged from the hospital and in the next thirty minutes, he was at the VIP section of a Private Jet, travelling thousands of miles into a foreign land.

The only time Jedidiah eventually came to his senses was when the private jet touched down whist he and Chuck Diesel boarded a flashy limo. Before he knew it, he was admiring the streets of Angeles City via the tinted windows of the limousine.

...

"You haven't spoken a single word. Do you need a glass of champagne to moist your parched throat?" after about ten minutes of stiffening silence inside the limo, Chuck was the first to admit defeat.

Punching a couple of keys in what appeared to be a secret compartment that led to a mini fridge stocked with three bottles of expensive looking wine and two glass goblets, Chuck uncorked one of the wine bottles, pouring some of it into one of the glass goblets.

"What am I supposed to say? not only did you info dump this big news on me out of the blue, you dragged me into a plane without even letting me return to my apartment to pack up. Don't blame me for suspecting I might be currently being trafficked.." pursing his lips, Jedidiah's brows narrowed suspiciously.

"I'm not currently being trafficked.. am I?"

Shrugging his shoulders in an amused manner, Chuck helped himself to the half filled glass goblet before giving a response.

"In a couple moments time, you'd understand."

..

Angeles City nicknamed the City of Angels was a top commercial hub within the state of Lost Angels, famous for its rapid innovations ever since the Great Catastrophe two decades ago. Not only was it the home of several multi-billion dollars companies and organizations, it was also the Home of Shakespeare Academy; an Academy for Awakened Elites with a global ranking placing it at the solid fifth position.

Whether it was it's rich innovations or the presence of Shakespeare Academy on its soil, Angeles City was a top tourist attraction spot in addition to being the solid number one commercial hub in the entire Country.

With these many accolades under its belt, Whether it was the asphalt road, warm breeze, passing pedestrians or towering residential and commercial buildings, everything screamed of extravagance and class!

Amongst the several villas that could be found in Angeles City, the limo currently being boarded by Chuck and Jedidiah just happened to come to a halt in front of the entrance of a particular villa.

Possessing an entrance gate that spanned an height of over twenty meters, the surface of the gate shone like precious gems underneath the soft embrace of the sun rays - Whatever materials the gate was forged from, it definitely wasn't ordinary.

However apart from the gate, What stood out the most was the eye catching plaque that seemed to read with a boldly written caption;

- LADY CECE MANOR

As if already expecting the limousine, the gigantic gates automatically parted open, causing the tires of the vehicle to freely roll into the environ that existed behind those giant gates.

"Where are we?" alighting from the vehicle, Jedidiah scanned his eyes around whilst letting out a soft whistle.

What laid before his eyes was a vast field of succulent green and colorful flowers that seemed to extend endlessly into the horizon. Taking account of the gargoyle sculptures and water fountains, Jedidiah felt like he had stepped into a small town, than the premises of a residential villa.

"Follow me. It can be easy to get lost along the way" Chuck gestured towards Jedidiah as he began sauntering forward.

...

"Geez. I can't believe you own this place? what do you do for a living?" after what seemed like a ten minutes trek, Jedidiah and Chuck finally arrived at the main manor building that was completely giving out a silvery glamorous luster underneath the warm rays of the sun.

"Actually, this villa belongs to my superior. She goes by the title of Lady CeCe and I am merely her Butler." Chuck calmly replied.

However although his response sounded calm, there was one person who wasn't.

"B-Butler?"

"Yes. Butler. I am in charge of taking care of domestic affairs. Well, think of me as a glorified manservant."

Jedidiah snorted with displeasure.

"Tch. I know what a Butler does. But what I don't know is why you brought me here?" by now the trio had unconsciously transversed a winding hallway and were now standing before an eye catching door that appeared to be crafted from a precious material that Jedidiah had no idea what it was.

"To see Lady CeCe of course. She'd be most pleased to see you."

"W--What?!" Jedidiah shot the other party an incredulous look.

- Do you really loathe your job so much that you're desperately seeking to be fired?!

However just then a statement rang out in Jedidiah's ears that instantly took away all the breath in him.

"Lady CeCe. Permission to let the Young Master in.."

- Y--Young Master?!

Just when Jedidiah felt like he had misheard completely due to the large revelations he's received in under the short span of a day, his brain nearly shut down when a calm but strain-sounding voice rang out from behind the door.

"Let him in..Let my grandson in."
