When Paul finally came home, Agatha presented him the few weird devices which he later found interesting. Their talk proceeded from how the items like memory eraser work to how she got them. As she did her best to explain the items, Paul's mind was on something else. He was silently piecing out the puzzles regarding Aeron's unusual change in facial features and sudden revival from the abandoned warehouse. Now he's getting that it was due to these devices. Likely, Amanda's mysteriousness in his and his people's eyes was also because of these.
"I usually get these from the shop, but I'm forbidden to access it for five more days. But once this prohibition is lifted, I'll be able to procure things again. Also, I can purchase sensitive and highly classified information from it. Actually, not only this kind of intelligence but even general and worthless intelligence. So... if you have anything you want to find out, as long as it's not related to people like me, it won
While wearing a body-hugging beige dress paired up with a black diamond chain necklace that made her look more sensual and mature than usual, in her five inches black and white stilettos, Agatha walked out of the huge mansion standing majestically at the western side of Central Alina. She looked to be in a stupor. If it weren't for her newly gained Modelling skill, she would have tumbled on the floor by now due to her high heels. However, Paul who was currently linking arms with her felt the slight unsteadiness in her steps. So he concernedly whispered to her ears,"Not used to the high heels?"The question knocked her back to her senses and subconsciously made her turn her head to the person walking beside her. She had to crane her neck up slightly because the man was really tall. Then when she met his gaze, her mind became shaken again and so she ended up blankly staring at him."Thinking of what just happened?"As she watched one corner o
Consequently, the School Fest had been very lively. Aside from the sport matches and stalls, there were concerts being held every night and many bands and idols in the country had been invited to perform. Due to this, from morning to late evening, the school was really alive. On the evening of the fifth day, the concert time allotted to the invited singers and dancers had been cut in half because a school pageant was scheduled to be held. The huge gymnasium was the venue and the place was fully packed, even the grassy lawn surrounding the open gymnasium turned into a sea of stalls and people. The audience tonight was way more numerous than the previous nights due to the fact that people were more eager to see their own campus beauties and hunks.As one of the acclaimed campus beauties, Agatha decided to not participate in that pageant. Actually, none of the five people in the Goddesses List came to join the beauty contest. They could choose not to because
Agatha's turn came when a cute girl from Amanda's grade came out and picked her name from the box. Since she was not really a difficult person like Misty, she only asked some random but easy questions and scored justifiably. In this contest, she could easily be said to be the most just in scoring since the bored system took the initiative to calculate the points she should give to those fortunate contestants that picked her.When Amanda came out as the next contestant for the QA, she unluckily picked up Maurice Jensen's name. Agatha immediately turned to the girl sitting two seats from her left, and worriedly glanced at her sister on stage. She would never forget that particular incident that happened between Amanda and Maurice's underling. She couldn't help feeling a bit worried.Agatha knew Maurice since she's become popular earlier than her. As last year's female winner, Maurice was really a goddess. Last year, when she was sitting at the audience seat
As preparation for this whole week, the mini-hotel behind the school's auditorium, which was usually used by senior high students of the Hotel Management strand, had been meticulously cleaned and decorated to serve as resting place for important personalities. Invited celebrities and some visiting politicians mostly stayed there. However, for this night, pageant judges had been allowed inside. The pageant had successfully ended. What would take place after the crowning ceremony would be the various performances of different artists. There was a transition in between though, as there were many props that had to prepare for the upcoming shows. Because of this, the emcee announced a break, encouraging the remaining audience to grab something to eat while waiting.Maurice used her privilege as a judge to access the mini-hotel. She went to the powder room to retouch. A few ladies there couldn't resist looking at the girl due to her striking appearance. Th
"You know what?"Maurice once again gave her junior a teasing smile."I'm sure you're thinking that Christine is killed by her mother,"she temporarily paused to properly watch the surprise that crossed Misty's eyes."I'm also guessing the reason you came up with... is that she has been driven man by the fact that her husband and daughter are making babies behind her back!"Once again, Agatha's best friend looked dumbfounded at the giggling girl. She began shaking her head after. As she couldn't believe that someone else managed to know what she had investigated, her mouth subconsciously opened to ask,"How... did you know?"The playful glint in Maurice's eyes did not lessen even though she could hear a set of urgent footsteps nearing the place. She did turn her eyes to the direction of the door though, eager to see the person she was really targeting to emerge there. Maurice played with the ends of her hair using her fi
Maurice folded her arms under her chests and condescendingly stared at Agatha Moore. A second later, a black bean-size thing materialized in front which Maurice swiftly grabbed and threw at the silver dressed girl. Agatha's enhanced physique allowed her to catch the bugging device, even so, she slightly winced due to the sharp pain in her palm.Alarmed, she asked the system,'How high is her strength stat?' She received an annoying reply though. It was the system's refusal to calculate due to the ban. Agatha temporarily ignored the pain and met Maurice's eyes. She was still standing at the same spot while the other was walking towards her. No, the other was seemingly wanting to leave as Maurice had passed her by. Not without saying to her though,"I just recently knew of your existence. And I actually don't mind letting you stay here even if you have almost slapped my underling to death. However, when I discovered that you pl
After the event of that night transpired, nothing else worth a mentioned happened at the School Fest. Maurice was now back to her favorite quarters; the Red Room. The very place where most likely than not, her every victim met their early demise. If it was not used for that purpose, then this was where she would conduct her other 'business'. It was always either one or the other."The first flaw is stupidity." "Second is impulsiveness." "Third is letting people know how obviously she cares for others, thus giving away her weaknesses." "If a person like that can't be called dumb, then what? Brain-dead?" Maurice chuckled merrily as she conversed with the system. When the people around her noticed her good mood, they all turned to her with shocked and frightened faces as it was common knowledge among them that Maurice was the most dangerous whenever she was like this. Seven out of ten chan
A young man wearing a white long-sleeved polo with ends tucked into a black pair of slacks marched his black and heeled shoes into the dining hall. The place was gorgeously decorated and even the intricately patterned wooden chairs looked to be something with history on it. The ambiance of the room was screaming 'old rich' to everyone coming into the Baroque styled mansion. Unfortunately, none of the place's grandeur or the pleasantness of the host's smile could erase the scowl in the young man's face. In fact, the creases on his forehead deepened when he saw a person he didn't want to see."Young man, you're finally here."The one that greeted Paul was a dignified fifty-three years old man sitting comfortably on the seat at one end of the long table. The gorgeously dressed woman seated on the middle-aged man's right side immediately followed up with a greeting, but Paul did not even spare her a glance. He merely walked to his uncle's side. In an emotionl
