Ding! Dong!

Having repeatedly pressed the doorbell button, Max released a frustrated sigh.

His tired arms stretched, was aching with pain.

Mrs Dalia's curvaceous figure was being carried by him in a bridal style.

Breathing lightly, her firm burst rose each time as he resisted the thought of feeling them despite having no arms to.

Her eyelids fluttered with a dreamy smile taking her lips.

'What could she possibly be dreaming of?' Easing his frustration with the sight of her curvaceous body in his arms, he lightly shook his head.

He had already been displeased that the system gave him no reward, and yet his neighbor's daughter was acting so stupid.

He rang the doorbell more times than he could count, there was no way even if she was deaf wouldn't have heard it. He knew since they had a similar system installed in their house too.

Probably she had checked seeing only his face and decided to ignore him.

'What an extremely childish bitch.'

Unable to take it any longer, he was about to turn and leave. But just then, the door was pulled open from inside to reveal a haughty looking girl in her teens wearing an oversized baggy shirt, and probably some shorts beneath it.

A fancy looking headset with cat ears hung around her neck and a bigger tab than the one he saw her with earlier in the day was resting on her other hand.

From the speechless look on her face, and her gaping mouth in surprise, he could already tell what she wanted to say…

'What are you doing here, pervert.'

But upon seeing her mother in his arms, these words were instantly annihilated.

"Mom?" Her voice laced with incredulity, trembled as she dropped her tab and hastily stepped forward to grab her from his hands.

Noticing her mother's scattered hair, and how roughly the dress she wore clung to her body.

'What did you do to my…' As she tried to free his arms, her accusing voice slurred into an abrupt halt upon meeting his icy judgemental glare.

'Say it.'

His eyes were devoid of emotions as he glared at her.

'She's just a teenager.'

Seeing her eyes widened in fear, he shook his head slightly and walked into their home.

He didn't even relish the grandiose sight, instead his eyes instantly settled on the long couch.

Suppressing his irritation, he placed Mrs Dalia's sleeping body and walked out.

Meanwhile, Talia watched in silence as he coldly walked out without bothering to glance at her.

'You might be a little haughty bitch without a drop of forgiveness in your blood, but your mother isn't. Perhaps that was why she left your father.'

To satisfy the sense of betrayal he felt from her accusation, he thought back to what happened in the SUV.

…

Getting home, he saw his father's black sedan parked in the driveway.

'Definitely the longest day I've experienced in this world.'

Soon he was fast asleep and the next morning came.

Riding past Mrs Dalia's house, he saw that her SUV was still parked where he left it. Which he decided against the thought of checking up on her.

'You're just a high school student Max. It's not in your place to check up on a grown woman after saving her ass from a man who drugged her… Also, you were rewarded for your patriotic act. Hopefully, we should be praying she doesn't remember what exactly happened.' Cautioning himself, he held the steering with one hand and continued brushing his hair down, until he had his looser look.

…

Zzz! Zzz!

Just as he stepped out of the car, his phone buzzed twice, alarming him of his latest notification.

As the lot bustled with various students boarding off their luxurious fancy ride. The sound of roaring engines igniting the atmosphere with life. He discontentedly glanced at his phone before shaking his head with an expected look in his eyes.

(Alert! You've been credited $100,000… account XXX)

He didn't see his father's sedan when he woke up this morning.

'He's probably out of the country by now, on a private jet to boot.'

And to fill the void of his missing presence, he doubled their monthly allowance this time around.

'Well, there is a part of the world where people kill their parents for less than half the amount. This is a wonderful bargain, who says money can't buy parental love.'

'I Love You Dad'

With a subtle smirk appearing on his expressionless face, he closed the door and blended in with the rest of the students.

…

"You bastard! Kelvin!"

A voice laced with dreadful furry and hate resonated through the spacious hallway, causing most of the student hearts to leap.

Soon the crowd parted ways for a bulky short youth who strutted forward wrathfully as he flung his jacket and started loosening his cuff.

By now the hallway was utterly quiet, with a brewing sense of anticipation at what was going to happen.

Not far in the front, the crowd also parted to reveal another awaiting figure with a sly smirk on his face. As he tried to turn back.

" Yes Liam, how may I help…"

POW!

The blow was brutal and distinct, followed by the cracking sound of a dislocated jaw.

Then the guy known as Kelvin, staggered back, almost falling but managed to keep his feet steady at the end. He held his chin, and stared at the bulky figure that had gotten closer to him.

Left with barely any time to react, he tried to dodge by swooping his head downward but met with an upper jam that cracked his nose with another POW!

"Bastard!" The bulky youth shouted, his voice laced with both rage and hate as he grabbed the other youth by collar and raised him up.

"You dare drug my sister and sleep with her?!"

He was about to send the youth crashing to the wall of the hallway, but it seemed the latter wasn't a push over. He grabbed the bulky youth's arm and slipped it from his collar in an instant. Hurriedly creating distance, as he touched his nose to see his fingers covered in blood.

"Drug?" The other youth, lean compared to his assaulter, seemed to have realized something and his eyes widened.

'I've been exposed.' He thought as his eyes settled upon a few smiling figures among the students.

It was then the gathered crowd started clamoring, feeding Max the information he needed.

"It sure feels good to see smug bastards from Class 2 having a confrontation." A voice laced with Schadenfreude said.

"Come on, did that bulky bastard really have a sister?"

"Hehehe, surely unexpected really right?"

"She is a first senior year student, one of their Class 1 figures. I heard she's very endowed to boot."

"That's vile, I heard she's just 15. To think the 17 dude would try such a thing."

Obviously, the sentimental comments came from a feminine voice.

Max watched with an interested look, as both sides faced each other in a fragile stalemate.

"Fuck you!" The bulky youth rushed forward, wanting to connect another blow… but the lean youth, Kelvin turned and ran away instead.

The crowd was speechless but syncing parted ways as the bulky youth chased after him. Their steps resonated through the Hallway until they were out of sight.

"Wait, what are we doing, chase after them!"

"Fuck!"

"We can't possibly miss such a show."

Instantly most of the gathered students began running after them. Turning the hallway sparse and empty a few moments later.

'True, the bulky ones usually don't have brains. He could have just settled it outside school.' He shook his head and adjusted his bag. By the time he reached Class 5, he saw the returning hoard of students.
