I waited patiently with my hands clasped behind many backs. I forgot my superhuman strength for a while. My focus was on Jordan, who was inside the ER.

My mind went back to what had happened.

Maybe it was the adrenaline that kicked in. The system had never granted me superhuman strength before. I wasn't sure if it was permanent or temporary.

One thing I know was certain. Felix was not going to give up now that I had him humiliated. He was going to come at me with everything he had got.

The stranger who had the power of the system too. “ Who the hell is she, and why was she there exactly when Jordan was wheeled into the ER?

Has she been spying on me?

I was short of words. My head kept spinning each time, trying to grasp her location, but then the door burst open, and the doctor walked out.

“ Talk to me, doctor. Is he going to be alright?” I asked with an anxious look on my face.

I still need to visit Evelyn hospital. She has not woken yet after the last incident.

I prayed that she woul

    [ System message ; You just passed your next mission ][ System reward ; Money will be sent to your account in a bit ]My face went pale. I could not even do what the system is asking me to do but they are paying me?I looked at Jordan who was going to need real medical attention. “ Why do you look so surprised? The fact that I squashed the camera or what?” Felix asked staring at me But I wasn't bothered about him for a bit. I was eagerly anticipating the next mission the system was going to throw in my face. [ DING! ] I looked at my phone and an alert of the promised money was visible in my account. [ DING! ][ System mission ; Take Jordan for medical treatment. ]How? How am I going to do that when Felix and his cronies were here looking at me like a predator waiting to pounce on its prey. I knew they were finding my behavior funny while Jordan was lost. He kept looking at me and funnily he wasn't groaning in pain. Their attention was shifted to me. I looked up and saw Feli

    Klaus's POV I got back to school the following day, and I could hear snippets of their talks. “ Is he dead? I heard he was shot at when you-know-who tried to get him to talk.” As I walked past them, I could feel their gaze land on me. They were looking, staring. I could feel a thousand gazes on me, and I felt the ground should open and swallow me. He can't be dead. That was not possible. Jerome was the only person who knew what really happened to Evelyn. The system gave me just some hours to find out the truth. My heart thudded and beat fast at the thought of what could happen to me if I lost the connection to the system scared the hell out of me. I was just a nobody before the system came to my aid. I need to find Jordan and know what really happened. I noticed the students could not stop talking. Most of them were averting me like I was a plague. I wonder why?“ Have you seen Jordan?” I asked one of the students.“ No.” He said and hissed. I kept walking and collided wi

    Klaus’s pov The cold air bit my skin as I stumbled out of the station, my shirt torn, and a fresh bruise pulsing just beneath my left eye. Blood coated the corner of my mouth, and every bone in my body ached from the beating Felix and his goons had delivered. But that pain was nothing compared to the fire boiling in my chest."Attempted murder," I muttered to myself. "She almost died. And that bastard walks?"I had stormed into the police station, fury blazing in my veins, demanding justice for Evelyn. I still remembered the look in the officer's eyes as he calmly, almost mockingly, told me there wasn't enough evidence to hold Felix."Mr. Klaus," he had said, folding his arms across his chest. "You don't have concrete evidence that links Mr. Felix Carter to the assault. Without a witness or a confession, this is hearsay.""She almost died!" I shouted back, my voice cracking."We need more than suspicion. Bring us proof, and we'll reopen the investigation."I had expected some resista

    I stormed into the university hall, my fists clenched so tightly that my nails bit into my palms. The murmurs and whispers that followed me felt like daggers in my back. Everyone had seen what happened. Everyone had heard the rumors. But no one knew the truth.“ What is he doing here?” “ Shouldn't he be with her in the hospital?”“ Guess he is here to look for who almost killed her?” “ Do you know who that is?” Felix.He was the only one I could think of. The only person that I know hated the fact that I was dating his ex girlfriend. That name boiled in my blood like venom. I knew it had to be him. Who else would have the guts to touch Evelyn? He had the motive, the means, and the sheer audacity to pull off something this vile.The moment I spotted him standing near the lockers, laughing with his friends as if nothing had happened, my vision blurred with rage. Without thinking, I charged at him."You bastard!" I roared, grabbing the collar of his expensive shirt and shoving him ag

    I strolled through the campus with Evelyn by my side, my head held high as the whispers around us grew louder. The disbelief was visibly seen in the eyes of every student who crossed our path. Just days ago, I was nothing more than a struggling student, an easy target for ridicule. Now, I was walking with Evelyn Salvatore, the most sought-after girl on campus.I knew it was a reckless move to try and talk to Evelyn to be my contracted girlfriend but I had to try. I have the money now so there was no mistake pushing my limit. I need to level the playing field with Felix if I am going to be able to play his game and also I need to humiliate him for everything he has done to me."I still can't believe she's actually dating him," someone muttered behind them."She must be after his money. There's no way Evelyn would go for Thomas otherwise," another voice chimed in.“ After his money? Do you even know the kind of family Evelyn comes from? They are fucking rich and I am sure wealth or mo

    The entire campus was buzzing with whispers and wild speculations the next day. My sudden transformation had taken everyone by surprise, and the school's social media apps were filled to the brim with my name. People were discussing my new wardrobe, the way I had outbid Felix in the boutique, and most of all, how I had seemingly gone from a nobody to someone worth noticing overnight. It was elating for me as I went through the school app I just downloaded on my iPhone. Felix, humiliated twice now, couldn’t let this continue. His reputation was at stake. I knew he would try something, and I was ready for it. As soon as he spotted me walking down the hallway, he wasted no time launching his attack.“Well, well, look who it is,” Felix sneered, stepping into my path with his arms crossed. “You must’ve really lucked out with that rich guy you’re running errands for. Did he tip you well, Thomas?”Laughter erupted from Felix’s usual group, Celine among them, smirking as she leaned into hi

    I knew I had to change my appearance. If I was going to make a grand entrance at the university grounds the next day, I needed to look good. I was going to ensure Felix and his crew never looked down on me again, I had to present myself differently. More importantly, I had to make sure I spent the money the system had given me before the time ran out.With that in mind, I found myself standing in front of the biggest luxury shopping mall in the city. The bright lights of the glass building reflected my battered snickers and the faded jeans I had worn for two years straight. I took a deep breath and walked in.The moment I stepped inside, the sales clerks gave me a once-over and immediately lost interest. One woman, a tall blonde in a pristine white suit, barely hid her sneer as she turned to whisper something to her colleague. I clenched my fists, feeling the heat of their judgment burn my skin."Can I help you?" she asked, her tone laced with sarcasm.I smiled. "Yes, actually. I wan

    The moment the ATM displayed “INSUFFICIENT FUNDS,” my heart nearly stopped. My breath hitched as cold sweat formed on my back.“No… No, that can’t be right,” I muttered under my breath, quickly pulling out the ATM card and reinserting it. My hands trembled as I navigated through the options again. This time, the balance displayed the same jaw-dropping number: $2,000,000.I let out a shaky breath. “What the hell is going on?”Still doubting, I pressed the withdrawal option again, this time selecting a smaller amount—$10,000. The machine hummed, processing my request. I braced myself, half-expecting another error message, but to my shock, the cash began to slide out in crisp hundred-dollar bills.I snatched the money up, glancing around nervously. The idea of holding this much cash made me paranoid. Hastily stuffing it into my pocket, I took a deep breath and stepped away from the ATM. My mind raced, but one thought stood out clearly—I needed to pay my tuition fees.Felix’s laughter ech
