Riley woke up with two large eyes staring at him.
"I thought you were never going to wake up with a sleepy head," Fred muttered.
Riley's eyes swept at them and could see that they were all dressed up. He was confused, stretching his head. The last time that he remembered, there wasn't any.
"Are you guessing about leaving me to go to a party?" He inquired with his blinking eyes.
"Leaving you! You wish. Guess you have already forgotten. Today is the day for Karl's team to shine. You don't expect us not to be there to cheer him right?" He said further.
Now saying that, it suddenly clicked. He had almost forgotten that today was the day for the school basketball tournament for which Henry was the captain.
They all got dressed and left, however, when they had gotten over to the stadium, he decided to use the bathroom.
"Oh well, guess I will have to find somewhere else to sit," Riley muttered to himself, seeing that the place where they sat was already filled up.
While he sat there waiting for the match to start, a stunning looking lady walked into the place.
Her skin was silk and glittering in the sun's rays. Enough to give all the girls in the place a run for their money and for the guys to grow hard.
"Where did such beauty come from? I have never seen anyone that's as beautiful as her." The eyes of the guys were all popping out from their sockets. Even for some of them that had their girl friends right in their hands, causing quite a few glares.
While for the ladies, they were filled with so much jealousy, wishing that they were the ones that had been in this person's shoes instead.
They wanted to rip that skin off from her body.
The states that she was getting we're all ignored by the stunning lady who seemed to be walking towards someone.
Everyone looked further seeing who this lucky fellow that had caught the attention of such a rare beauty was eventually going to be.
The good-looking lady walked up towards Riley with a smile on her face. It looked like she was also there alone.
Riley's gaze shifted towards her. She was beautiful with her body all bulging out. And from the dress that she was putting on, he could tell that she was stunning.
"Hi. Do you mind if I sit here?" She inquired and Riley didn't mind.
She sat down right beside him and brought out two bottles of soda, handing them over to him with a smile.
The hearts of the boys almost ripped open from the center.
Most of them already knew who this Riley of a person of a person was.
"Wait. She chose that poor rat over me?" One of them said still lost in his thoughts.
"Is the world suddenly playing a cruel trick or me is are my eyes suddenly deceiving me."
Riley was the least of the people here yet, the beauty had taken interest in him and was even trying to start a conversation.
This was beyond just luck. They were more than furious but didn't want to cause a scene that was going to cause the beauty any troubles so they decided to keep their cool until someone else that was quite popular eventually walked by.
Riley was a little bit stunned. He barely knew the stranger yet she was willing to give him something worth over two hundred dollars.
"It's nothing." She added unbottling hers.
"What are you doing here all alone though?" She inquired with twitching brows.
Riley was a little bit confused not knowing what to say. However, before he could say anything, he could hear a voice coming after him right from behind.
"Claire. What do you think that you are doing talking to Errand boy?". A forced voice came from behind.
Another stunning lady casting a look of disgust at Riley stepped forward before pushing her gaze back to Riley.
However she was not as beautiful as the first lady that had walked in. Though she tried to make it up with the excessive accessories that were laced all over her body and the way too exposing dress that she was putting on too.
"I know that you are a new transfer student but didn't you see that rage that passes for clothes in his eyes? Do you think that he is even worth your time?"
"Shouldn't you be trying to get back to Carter?" She ranted further. And Claire frowned.
"I told you. I don't want anything to do with that arrogant bitch anymore and nothing is going to stop that." Claire replied, already getting on the edge hearing this name more than once.
Most people hearing this conversation were stunned hearing these words. Even though they didn't know who this Carter of a person was, they could tell that he was from a very powerful family and someone not to mess with.
"And what's that?" Jane snared at Riley.
"She bought you soda and you dare to accept it?" She quickly snapped it off from his hands.
"I never want to see you anywhere close to Claire again, talking to her or I am going to make sure that you pay for it." She thundered angrily.
"If I ever see you doing any of the things that I have listed earlier, I am going to get someone to beat up that poor bitchy ass of yours. Don't even breath the same air as hers." She glared expecting that Riley was going to start running off from the place, however, he was still seated.
"What are you still doing there? Did I just tell you to scream or do you have a death wish?" She blotted with her anger ever increasing slightly.
At this, Riley could no longer withhold his frown anymore.
He knew that he was trying to keep a low profile to enjoy the last moments that he still had to spare with his friends.
However, that didn't mean that he was going to allow anyone who didn't even come close to himself to trample on him like a coward.
Even before he passed the test of the family to become a billionaire, he was never a coward to scram away from bullies and he didn't plan for that to start happening just yet
"What's your deal? If you feel that this Carter guy is too good. Why don't you go for him? Or do you feel that you are not up to par facially?" He inquired with a glitch in his eyes.
Everyone was stunned hearing these words and their jaws already falling to the temple of their feet.
"Did he just say those words to the leader of the pink panther? Has he eventually gone mad?" The crowd of mostly female students was in a daze.
The pink panther was one of the most powerful female groups compared to three students of whom Jane was a leader.
Her face was still hot red, looking like it was going to go up in flames. The situation between them has just been described in a few words.
"You! How dare you speak to me in such a manner. I am going to make sure that you pay for it."
Jane drew her hands, ready to slap Riley across the face but her hands were stopped halfway through the air.
And this time, it was not by Riley. Rather it was by Claire. Jane's eyes bulged and she soared with rage unable to believe her eyes...
Most people that were around had already brought out their cell phones from their pockets and school groups going up on a rampage.
"Two stunning Ladies fighting over Errand boy. Jane, the pink panther leader and the transfer hottie."
"If anyone had told me that this was going to happen right before my eyes, I would never have believed it." Another Student muttered
"Are you going to be on my bad side because of this piece of metallic trash?" Jane muttered staring into Claire's eyes with a deep frown to her face.
"As at the moment. He is my guest. I won't allow you to lay a hand on him because of me." She threw her hands away.
Jane was frowning with so much fury rising in her but there was nothing that she could do
Until they heard the sound of a few cars stopping and a young boy almost the same age as Riley stepped out of the car.
He wore a deep frown over his face and most people that were around gasped at the recognition of who it was.
"This can't be happening. Is that Carter?" They were stunned.
Seeing this person, the grip around Claire's heart tightened a little bit. Not because of herself, not mostly for Riley.
Carter was known to be a very ruthless person, especially to people that were underneath him.
"No! I can't allow someone else to pay for my mistake. I started all of these and I will have to finish it." She straightened herself up and stared directly at Carter.
"What are you doing here?" She inquired quickly.
However, he ignored her questions and his attention firmly focused on Riley who was striking a model pose with his face high up in the air.
"You dumped me because of him?" Carter's voice was filled with rage as he spoke.

Chapter 145
Riley looked at Rossline for a moment before scoffing. "You are his girlfriend. You're supposed to know his character and how bad it is."Rossline sighed and glanced toward the classroom where Nearl had disappeared. "I was surprised too. When we first met, he seemed gentle and polite. I never expected him to become like this."Riley scoffed again, folding his arms. "He hid it well enough”Rossline remained silent for a moment before looking directly at him. Then, almost casually, she asked, "Do you think he is the owner of this school? The secret owner of this school?"Riley's expression changed slightly. He stared at her. "I doubt that. What makes you really think that?"Rossline simply smiled."Nothing."Riley frowned. "Nothing?""We'll talk later." Rossline paused before adding, "And thanks for the other day."Before Riley could ask what she meant, she turned around and walked away.Riley watched her leave, his brows slightly furrowed. "Why would Rossline think Nearl is the secret

With that, the second game began.This time, Riley personally selected the paddle and the ball before handing them to Nearl. Nearl accepted both without hesitation, giving Riley a faint smile before taking his position across from Karl. The crowd grew quiet again, everyone eager to see whether Nearl could repeat his earlier performance without the paddle he had used during the final.The whistle sounded.Karl served first.The ball crossed the net, and Nearl returned it with a simple stroke. Karl immediately moved into position, ready for the ball to come back toward him, but at the last second, it suddenly curved away from his paddle. He swung and missed completely.The crowd gasped.Nearl remained calm.The next rally was even more intense. Karl tried using different spins and angles, but Nearl seemed to read everything. He would make what looked like an ordinary return, yet the ball would suddenly change direction after bouncing, forcing Karl to move desperately across the table."

Riley stepped forward until he stood directly before Principal Paul.His voice was calm, but it carried clearly across the silent sports hall."Principal Paul... I just saw you smuggle the paddle Nearl used during the final out of the arena."For a heartbeat—No one reacted. Then the entire hall erupted into stunned murmurs."What?""Smuggle the paddle?""What does he mean?""Did I hear that right?"Students looked at one another in complete confusion, while the teachers exchanged puzzled glances. Principal Paul's expression darkened."What the hell are you talking about?" he demanded sharply. "Smuggle Nearl's paddle? Explain yourself."Without saying another word, Riley slowly raised his hand and pointed toward the student volunteer who had almost reached the exit."The paddle is inside that black sack."The volunteer froze in place. His eyes widened in surprise as every person inside the arena turned to look at him."I... I..."He instinctively tightened his grip on the sack, unsure

Claire brushed her hair back with a trembling hand as she heard Riley accept the challenge.Her heart sank.She couldn't believe he had actually said yes.Jerry stared at Riley for a few seconds before a grin slowly spread across his face."I like your courage," he said with a chuckle. "But sadly... it's going to make you a cripple."The smile on his face grew even wider."Since you're this desperate, let's make it an official spar."Those words immediately caught everyone's attention. Even the students who had gathered nearby leaned in with curiosity.Riley frowned slightly."Official?" he asked. "What do you mean by official?"Jerry slipped both hands into his pockets."Actually," he began with a relaxed smile, "there's an underground tournament held every night."He glanced around before continuing."It's not legal, of course. People usually go there to place bets... or simply watch for entertainment. That's where I'd like to cripple you."Fred's expression instantly became more se

Jerry, Williams, and Cory all scoffed the moment they saw Riley.Riley didn't stop walking.With a calm expression on his face, he stepped closer until only a few feet separated him from Jerry.The atmosphere instantly became tense.Neither of them looked away.Jerry was still gripping Claire's wrist tightly.A smug smile spread across his face as his eyes wandered over Riley's body."I can see you've healed already," Jerry said with a scoff. "That was quicker than I expected."Before Riley could answer, Williams stepped forward with a mocking smile."Look," he said, pointing lazily at Riley, "I'll give you some advice. Just leave already. This has nothing to do with you."Riley's expression didn't change."It has everything to do with me," he replied calmly as he looked at Jerry's hand gripping Claire's wrist. "You're cornering my friend. Let her go right now."Jerry glanced at Claire before looking back at Riley.A cold laugh escaped his mouth."You really must need another beating.
Chapter 140
Monday morning arrived.Riley stood at the front gate of the school, looking up at the familiar campus. The bruises on his face had faded considerably over the past few days. "Riley!"A familiar voice called excitedly from behind him.He turned around just as Mira hurried over, her school bag bouncing against her shoulder."There you are!" she exclaimed before stopping in front of him. She frowned almost immediately. "How did you leave the hospital without telling anyone? And where did you even go? I came to visit you yesterday, and the nurse said you'd already been discharged."Riley scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed smile. "Sorry. I was discharged earlier than expected. I just went to visit one of my relatives. He was dying to see me."Mira let out a long sigh and folded her arms."You should have called me. You didn't even come work, and you didn't answer any messages. I was worried.""Sorry," Riley said sincerely. Mira looked him up and down before her expressio
