★ "Cancelling your black card won't humble you, would it?" "You did it before, you can do it again, I won't die" Roonie replied. "You knew about Rook's games for three years, you didn't confront him" Master X spoke again, and Roonie finally looked up, his irises burning. "Being recognized as your son isn't a feat, you haven't exactly been behaving like a father" "You will talk to me with respect!" Master X snapped. "I have no respect left to spare you!" Roonie snapped back, angrily pushing away the pieces on the board. The man immediately withdrew his sword from his walking stick, swinging it to Roonie's neck. Roonie went still, the sword cutting him slightly, and his blood trailed out under the sword. "You shouldn't have been born" he said the usual line, and Roonie's jaw gritted hard, every muscle on his body tensing up. Master X dropped the sword slowly, and Roonie stood. "The girl on your watch, you failed to send me her daily life update for one month. I want it now

★ Even Isaac doesn't even have to drag Teal before she agreed to come, surprisingly. Morgan left the girls with the excuse that she's going home for a family issue, so they're just three right now. Rebekah and Lizzy have ice cream cones with them to enjoy the game with, but Pearl's hand is empty. Her hands are in her LC jacket pocket, and her eyes were trained on the field benches where the players are. Roonie is sitting alone, but his eyes aren't keen or dark as it always it. He looks livid, like he wants to burn every living thing, like he wants to maim... Strangle.. Kill. He looks so fuçking enraged, and Pearl wondered why. Not like she cares, but whatever got the devil angry like this must earn a point from her or something. "Does anyone else notice Banks mood changed from cool to dangerous since he got recognized as Master X's son?" Rebekah said, swiping her tongue on her lips to lick the cream crumbs. "Maybe he doesn't like his father, I mean... whatever" Lizzy shru

★She wiped the sweat with her arm and took the brush, dipping it in the foamy water before starting to wash the tyres.She's just a minute into it when her mum came out dressed for an outing together with her husband who's wearing glasses.They were both holding hands as they made their ways to one of the already-washed cars.Morgan dropped the brush with her and stood slowly."You better make it sparkle, else, you'll have to pay for your tuition by yourself this semester" the mother said."I understand" Morgan replied.The husband gave her a funny look before getting in the car with his wife, and they drove out.Morgan kicked the bucket of water away angrily.She almost smashed the car window too, but she had to caution herself.With hot breaths coming out of her nose, she rested on the car.Actually, they're not her real parents. They only did a favor by bringing her into the house when she was homeless, and she has been enduring since she was 5.Their real daughter is studying in

★Pearl closed her eyes, hugging her tighter.*NEXT MORNING, GRAND CASINO*Rook was swallowing spit at intervals as he stepped into the building.Since it's morning, there are no gamblers, so it's empty, except for Master X who's standing in the middle of the room.Rook went closer to see him holding a chess piece which he's tumbling on the table."Do you know how to play chess?" He asked, his voice bouncing off the walls."No, but I'll learn" Rook quickly replied, and the man faced him."Become Pearl's tormentor" he said.Rook's eyes widened."Pearl Wilson? But... didn't you... give Banks the mission to protect her and report to you everyday?""And?" Master X tumbled the chess piece again."You're pitching us against each other?" Rook said, and the man faced him again, his eyes soulless."You have a problem with that?""No... father" Rook bowed, and Master X patted him on the shoulder with a knowing smile.Hazzan is by his room door, watching with uncertainty.*8AM*Pearl woke up t

★ "What?" Rue faced her. "Who are the other frat club, The Vikings? People only think we're more powerful cos they know our strength, but no one knows how far those bastards can go. We don't even know any of their members and we don't know their leader, we don't know their mansion too. All we know is that they exist in this same campus with us and they're our rivals. It's not making any damn sense" The member complained. Rue walked slowly to get, and the lady shifted back. "So far they're not crossing their lanes, we have no damn reason to talk about them, capisce?" Rue said. "I understand" the lady nodded. * LECTURE HALL, 10AM* The second one is starting any moment from now, handled by the same lecturer who's handling the pool classes. Immediately she came in, Rue started laughing, reminiscing about how she had pushed her in the pool. The class was silent, just the sound of her witchy laughter. Jeremy nudged her to stop, but she shot him a glare which made hi
