The agenda was to substantiate that General Kio, the corrupted politician who's part of the Senate, was the suspect for the pandering inside the academy, and to present evidence to validate the claim. Noah had long ago contacted Joren Nile to work with them. Coincidentally and for an unknown reason, Joren Nile was targeting General Kio and Noah being Noah, didn't ask for any more reasons and information about what General Kio did him wrong or what was the reason behind his contempt. As long as it will benefit them both, Noah could bargain with the consequences. In the end, they had come up with an agreement.
Noah examined the blueprint of the Academy and saw that a lot of dormitory rooms weren't occupied as it was also included on the report that the young Nile gave him. Joren also helped him acquire some documents inside the General's office. Those documents were the real deal about the smuggled goods. However, Noah doubted Joren even more. How could he do it without bein“The hunt?” Jerson asked as he put down all the documents on the table. Noah nodded. He examined the whole room before he turned his laptop on. “Now is the time to reveal the General’s incompetence,” he declared. “Another senate who thirst for power would take him down to gain leverage for his piety. Isn't it fun to watch how your once promised colleagues turned their back on you to gain what they wanted from the start?” he asked. Noah looked at Jerson seriously. “Betrayal is an impending choice and being betrayed is an inevitable fate if, from the very start, the covenant is deficient.”Jerson stood up and walked nearer the window. He swayed the gray curtains sideways and looked down at the crowded people near the stage. The students were lined up in a straight line while giving the General and the guests a prideful salute. The guests were nodding in satisfaction and their eyes were gleaming with admiration — recognizing the system that helped the General to discipli
Jerson remained silent. He couldn’t utter any more words. It was his grandfather who asked him for his name. If he utters another word, his grandfather might catch up with what was happening and he might get caught red-handed. If he mumbles one more word, it will be risky. Jerson’s silence made the General smirk. “Now… now. What made you shut up? Does the cat get your tongue?” The General started to laugh with travesty. “Are you scared? Are you gonna piss on your pants?” the General asked with his tone filled with scorn. Behind those mockeries, still, Jerson remained silent. He could tolerate the ridiculous stunt of the General to conceal his identity. He could at least bear this much. Ideally, Jerson would be overjoyed if he became the General's karma. Jerson could tolerate it at this moment but that does not mean that he won’t plead for payback. Now that this happened, he realized that it is indeed a good choice that he wore light make-up, and that his features
“I’m sure you have already heard about the competition that will be held during the assembly meeting,” Jerson said. He was typing codes to infringe the General’s computer firewall. Much to his surprise, there’s so much security installed in the General's computer system. Kedric nodded. “I've heard it from mom,” he answered. “But our section was forbidden to join,” he added.Jerson nodded. “That’s right. That is why we’ll play a game,” Jerson said as he bounced his leg up and down. “We’ll use a honey trap and a reverse honey trap to lure our target.”The six students look at each other. “I thought you were going to help us?” Jireh asked and looked at him in confusion. Jerson sighed and opened the window and played a video where the General was harassing a student. He then smirked, “I’m helping you out, dumb shit. Luring the victim was one of the General’s schemes. In essence, the General would simply offer them a free private lesson. The victim would be
“What are these kids doing here?” Noah asked with his brows creased.Jerson looked at the students who were considered as rogues and the kids that Noah was talking about. Jerson sighed and said, “We’re at the same age. Do I look like a kid to you, Noah?” Shocked, Noah waved his hand in the air while shaking his head. “You are different from them, Jerson. Now, please understand my concern and answer my question properly,” Noah urged. Jerson rolled his eyes and gave Noah his phone. The screen showed the master list of the existing competition candidates. “I entered their names," Jerson said casually like he did not do something illegal. Noah pinched the bridge of his nose out of frustration. For the fifth time again this year, Jerson schemed something and carried it out without consulting him. Although it does not really affect their previous plans, he is still Jerson’s superior and every plan needs his approval for precautionary measures. “That is not w
Vishnu was frowning the whole time right after they entered the conference room. He couldn't find anyone or anything exquisite inside the hall or if he did find one, it wasn’t as engaging as his Cara. For him, nobody could ever be compared to Jerson. He could not understand anything about their meeting’s agenda and what their objective was all about as his mind flew to where Jerson was, and how Jerson was doing. He wished that the meeting would just end for good so he could be with his Cara. Life without his Cara is lifeless.Once again, Vishnu looked up and was in a daze.“Vishnu, are you listening?” Leon started communicating using the earpiece that Vishnu was wearing on his ear. The earpiece was connected to all the members of his team. He and his team were currently invading the Academy as planned and they planned to steal the ledger of the smuggled goods for them to have their leads on who they will indict next. Vishnu remained silent as hi
“Are you looking for this?”Van looked in the direction where the familiar voice came from. There, he saw Leon dragging a man. As Van stared at the unconscious man, he realized that it was the General’s secretary.The General's secretary’s upper body was almost naked. If the man wasn’t wearing an undershirt, he would really suffer from hypothermia as the temperature was very cold.Van's brows furrowed. “What did you do, Young Master?”Leon laughed sarcastically as he kicked the man to push him to get inside the office using his right foot. He then entered the room and extended his hand to Van. “Won’t you kiss the back of my hand like you used to do back then, Van?” he asked.With knitted brows, Van looked at Leon’s hand and saw some small white particles. He could tell that it was a melatonin powder just by the powder type and its color. He knows that melatonin has diverse traits from the other powd
Van left the hidden room with Leon. He was still carrying the secretary on his shoulder, and he was slowly getting tired of it as his shoulder felt sore. “Why did you abduct this shit? Kindly tell me so I would have the reason not to toss him over the window,” Van insisted. Leon sighed and said, “We need the code.”The code, Van repeated in his mind. He felt extremely confused. The code of what? And what does the petty secretary have to do with the code? Van stopped walking and faced Leon who was at his back. “Code, you said? Do you mind if I ask what it is for?” Leon looked at Van. “It is for that Ledger.”Van staggered his head. “A ledger needs a code?” he asked again for confirmation before he turned his back on Leon. Without waiting for a reply, he started walking on the stairs again. “The file we obtained is the document needed to enter the place. The ledger was in that niche,” Leon answered Van's query.
“That brat isn’t my beau, Jerson. You know you’re my Cara, right?” Vishnu asked with his odd soft voice. He held Jerson’s hand. “I can explain!” he added.Jerson was too stunned to even utter a word. How did Vishnu know that they were in the General’s office? Where did his nerves come from for him to ditch those influential families?Jerson frustratedly sighed. Vishnu really had the guts to do it, and this might cause an uproar that would make those families wary of Vishnu. He rubbed his temple as he could only imagine the aftermath of this sudden turn of events.Vishnu came forward in front of Jerson and held Jerson’s face using his trembling hands. He huffed before looking directly at Jerson's eyes. He then stroked his beloved's face and said, “Let me explain, hmm?”Jerson shoved Vishnu’s hand. “You don’t have to explain, Vishnu,” he mumbled.Vishnu shook his head. “I’ll explain, okay? Please don’
