Chapter 95: The Laughingstock of The Day
THE SILENCE FILLED the air as time goes by. Different emotions filled their emotions as they were waiting for someone to break the awkward atmosphere.Daphne was confused, Bruce was mad, Samantha was nervous, and August felt thrilled. He liked the fact that he made Samantha shut up just by telling her about Myra.‘Why do you know about that, August? How did you know Myra?’ asked Samantha at the back of her mind. She wanted to ask that, but she remained silent as she gave August a deadly gaze.On the other hand, August matched Samantha’s intensifying gaze. He never let himself be shaken. All the love in his heart was suddenly converted into hatred. Because of Myra, August saw how wicked Samantha was.It was Samantha who hurt him the most, after all. He loved her too much, so he was in pain too.‘It’s time to return it, Evergreen.’ August smiled slyly at that thought. ‘I don’t know what happened between you and Myra, but I guess it’s worth it to dig up on that.’August turned his head
Chapter 96: Hackathon
“WHETHER it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter,” said August as his gaze went onto the audience, specifically looking for Samantha. “It’s all a part of the past now.”August said that as an answer, but he’s mainly pertaining to Samantha. He wanted her to know that she doesn’t have any effect on him now. To be honest, he’s disgusted by how she hides her own sister for the sake of her dreams.Samantha looked away. She couldn’t stand August’s judgmental and cold gaze. Instead, she averted her gaze at Bruce, who was already looking at her with confusion and annoyance at the same time.Both of them were looking like wallflowers in August’s talk show. It shouldn’t look like that!“Ooh, you answer so well!” August got another genuine compliment from Adrianna as she smiled sweetly, and August smiled shyly in response.‘Nice one, August!’ Daphne, who was sitting in the audience, couldn’t help but be proud as she was the one who taught August how to answer difficult questions.Adrianna was amazed
Chapter 97: Play Fair
“ALRIGHT, LET’S start,” said August as the meeting of their group began.August already had a plan in mind for what he wanted to create. Since he was chosen as the leader of their group, he had the right to choose which industry to infiltrate. However, he doesn’t want to make this hackathon like a one-man work. He wanted his members to say their thoughts freely as well.His members were named Rence, William, Lander, and Jessica. The three guys had expertise in computer programming, which he badly needed as they were going to execute the gist of their future invention. Meanwhile, Jessica was a degree holder in accounting, and she’s the only one who'll make the documents and costings.And he, the leader, will be the one to report their product to the scouts and judges, and persuade everyone to invest in their business. Even if he's been doing tons of reports in the last few months, he still has nervousness every time he does it.There was a part of him that wanted to back out and as
Chapter 98: As What You Did In Mine
“FUCK… Who the fuck are you?!” exclaimed August as he tried to remove the man’s hand from his neck, but he couldn’t. There are just people who were stronger than him, even though he got proper physical training months ago. August was stunned, and he thought that the man would strangle him more until he lost consciousness.However, suddenly, the man let go of his neck and let out a laugh, causing August to move his head and look at whoever the man was with his brows frowning.And it was someone he didn’t expect to see here.“Lucas?” asked August, slightly panting, as he held onto his neck. “Why are you here?”“Long time no see, bro.” Lucas smiled as he pressed both his palms and bowed in front of August. “I’m sorry if I strangled you too hard. I’m just trying to tease you, really.”“Damn you. I almost fainted because of you,” answered August as he chuckled, followed by Lucas’ chuckle, too. Lucas looked sincere as he apologized, so August let it pass for now. He fixed his suit before
Chapter 99: Presentation
“M-MISTER ANDERSON!” said Bruce, slightly stammering, as he saw who the man approached him.It was Benjamin Anderson, the heir of the third-ranking family in the country. Bruce couldn’t speak as he looked at the man from head to toe. Every clothing and accessory on his body screams exquisitely that he looked like a rag immediately!‘God. Even the scarf he was holding costs fifty dollars already!’ Bruce couldn’t help but exclaim at the back of his mind.“N-Nothing. Nothing’s happening,” Bruce answered awkwardly as he let go of August's collar and fixed himself.“We’re just playing, right?” he added to ask as he stared at August with a deadly gaze.However, August just shrugged his shoulders, not planning to speak. Moreover, he was interested in Benjamin. He already saw him before at the gathering, but August didn’t expect Benjamin’s aura to be extravagant, which is a lot different than Harvey's. Harvey’s personality was boastful, and he could say that Benjamin is the same, too.But Be
Chapter 100: Show Up
“MY GOD! How did this happen?” Jessica exclaimed as her eyes flickered within her teammates. “How the hell did they know about our product?!”No one could answer Jessica at that time. All of them were confused, disappointed, and nervous at the same time.August felt the same way as Bruce started to pitch the product on the scouts and judges. It was exactly the same thing their group placed onto the document.“Our team managed to create a robot AI that specializes with medical treatments and diagnosis,” said Bruce as he clicked the remote onto the next slide. “The purpose of this is to help people seek immediate medical assistance, and think that they already have a companion always by their side.”As Bruce continued his report, he never left any single details in their document. August just stared at Bruce while clenching his fists, and the latter smirked at him as their gazes met.“A traitor…” said August as his gaze fixated on the table, in which the paper regarding his supposed pre
Chapter 101: William
“THIS IS a robotic AI with applications inside. It may have the same concept as Mr. Sandoval’s group, but its features and purpose are different. As they focused on the medical industry only, hence, our robot could be used literally everywhere.”August flipped to the next page, and everyone was shocked when they read the features of their robotic application.“Inside this robot features wherein the owner can set what they wanted the robot to do. Although it can obtain a limited amount of data as of now, the amount was sufficient for the robot to function.”On the next page, some examples of how the robot could be used by companies or even customers were written on the screen.“In fast food chains, it could be used as an order form. People would say their orders to the robot, and the latter would immediately send it to the cashier to process it.”“In the video game industry, the robotic AI could be used in customizing their own avatar, and choosing opponents based on their preference.”
Chapter 102: Who's The First Place?
IN THE blink of an eye, Bruce was already in front of August, holding onto his collar tightly— as if his entire life depended on it.“You… Why don’t you just keep quiet as you did before?” asked Bruce as he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.It was evident in his eyes that he wanted to beat August, even harder than he had beaten him up before. But something’s stopping him from doing that. He was afraid that what happened before would happen again. Aside from that, William was there, silently watching them. Every time he remembered that incident, it was followed by how his father tortured him like shit.With that, Bruce wasn’t able to speak. He just only snapped out of his thoughts when August held onto Bruce’s hand and removed it from holding his collar.“I’m not here to fight, but to find William.”“M-Me?” William, who was currently helpless as blood continued flowing from his nose, pointed at himself.August couldn’t see William properly as he was sitting slightly far away from
