chapter fifty eight
I was not sure if sharing what I had with the system was important. I drove back home with the thought of Scar betraying me. It was easy for him to switch sides when Eliot died. What is stopping him from switching the moment I was boxed into a tight corner? The thought kept ringing in my mind until I bashed the car right in front of me. " What the fuck!" I said looking at my front. I got down immediately feeling a bit apologetic. " Oh my goodness. I am soo sorry. I didn't know..." I was dazed to see the most beautiful woman I’d ever laid eyes on. Her skin glowed like the soft sheen of caramel under the setting sun, and her eyes—God, her eyes—were the kind that didn’t just look at you but read you. She had this calm intensity, a quiet fire, and even though I’d just rammed into her car, she didn’t scream or cuss. Instead, she stepped out slowly, shutting the door behind her with a soft click. Dressed in a sleek black dress and heels that clicked like authority on the ta

My jaw clenched.Scar's question hung in the air like a poisoned dart. I was not sure how to answer him, but I knew he wanted an answer for his question. Does that include Mandy Celine too?I don't need to answer immediately.I kept walking, slower now, my mind spinning. The hallways were empty. Most of the students were now in their various departments, each focusing on their academics. Scar wasn’t looking at me. He knew he had crossed a line, but he also knew me well enough to ask it.“You still love her,” he said quietly. “Even after she left you for Derek. Even after she said you were nothing but a pauper. Is that it?"“I don’t love her,” I said, my voice low and sharp. “I want her back not because I love her but because I am going to claim everything that belongs to Derek." Scar scoffed. “Sounds like the same thing to me.”I stopped walking.He did too, reluctantly turning to face me.“I don’t want her because of love,” I added with a cold smile. “I want her to know she made t

I stormed out of the class immediately. I heard what Scar told me. I knew there was going to be a problem once he started digging. I met Derek with some of his friends laughing and gisting. The school was hosting a party for some of the new students that had been admitted. I knew it was a way to find out who the system was talking about, but the problem I was having was knowing his intention. Why was he here, and what was his mission?I knew by now that most of the gamers must have been searching, but I was less bothered. I was the Lord Gang, and I could easily command them to look for this mystery guy and bring him to me. Derek's face went pale when he saw me coming towards him. His cronies began to disperse one by one. I pocketed it as I got closer with a look that meant he was in hot soup. "What is this that I am hearing? Why are you interested in the next game?" I asked with my gaze fixed on him. "The system gave out the mission, and it is only right if I partake in it. I am

It was the last thing I expected to see. The message that appeared next made me dumb and scared. [System Task: Find out who Eliot's junior brother is.] [System reward: Eliminate one gamer] My blood froze. What would happen to me if Derek happened to find out who he was? How come? It almost looked like all the ghosts kept coming back. First, it was Zara coming back for revenge, and now Eliot's brother was coming too. Who will come for me if I am killed? That was the question that rang inside this little head of mine. I knew most of the gamers could have seen it too. I heard the whispering and bickering as I walked through the hallway. Then the tweaking started. In less than a few minutes, there were tons of messages already, each asking who killed Elliot. It was like his dead body had risen from the grave. "Don't you think Jason should be scared?" "Why? Did he kill him?" "Don't tell me you didn't hear when he said he had the lives of both him and De
chapter fifty four
I was surprised too. I didn't want Mrs. Tracy to find out about what was going on with me at the school. At least not yet. Scar and some of the students who were richer, though the system, were lined up with their fancy cars. Each car costs millions of dollars. "And who are those?" Tracy asked, staring at me as I grabbed the lunch bag she gave to me. "They are my friends." I said without blinking. I was getting bolder and more fearless. Not that I didn't notice it, but maybe that was what I really needed right now. I knew there were many obstacles to be cleared, and also I needed to fight more battles each day. "Your friends, huh?" Mrs. Tracy said, trying to find out the truth. I nodded this time around without talking. "Are you being bullied, son?" She asked with her eyebrows arched. "You know we can change your school if you want to." Mrs. Tracy moved closer to me and held my hands. "I was not able to protect my late son, Jason. But you are all I have got now,
Chapter fifty three
I lay on the bed with my thoughts going back and forth. My heart told me Zara meant well, but what if the system pitched us against each other? What am I going to do then? I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. The kiss was all I could replay and think about. Her gentle smile when she kissed my lips and her constant gaze as we drank some coffee and ate our pastries. I rolled on the bed, wishing Zara didn't have to change. The door to my room opened slowly, and I saw Mrs. Tracy standing right in front of it. "Can't sleep." She said it slowly and walked in. "Yes, Mum," I replied, sitting up. "Want to talk about it?" That is the thing. I don't know if I should tell her everything. The system, the date with Zara, and the revenge plan. I was not sure if it was a good idea to tell her everything. "You know, I can't help you if you are not telling me the whole thing. I need to see the picture." Mrs. Tracy looked at me. I nodded. "I just don't know where to start," I replied, br
