CHAPTER 8 - Sharing A Table
In the Head Agent's Office.
The Head Agent is reading the Book of True Paradise.
This book has information about a dangerous substance used by that syndicate. It contains 1 special sentence on each page. You can know it by following a pattern. I can decipher the data by combining the sentences collected in every page.
Happiness Crystals. A type of drug that awards you with insane mania when taken. 'It will bring you to your dream world and help you escape the cruel reality.'
Once you start consuming it, you cannot stop. You will feel intense sadness and despair when you have quit even for a day.
Its side effects can heighten focus and increase intelligence. Do such drugs really exist?
No wonder the High Company Syndicate became widespread in the span of only two years. It makes sense now.
An agent knocked at the door and entered The Head Agent's office. The agent is holding a pile of paper works. "Good morning sir, I have brought the reports regarding the Illegal Loggers, The Corrupt Officials, The Endangered Species Hunters and Association of Scammers."
"Good Job, Agent Tarsier. Bring it to me." The Head Agent maintained his intimidating pressure.
Agent Tarsier placed the files in the Head Agent's table.
"You can go now."
"Okay Sir," Tarsier left the room.
Contrary to his codename, Agent Tarsier is as attractive as Leon. However, you can determine that he is a geek just by your first meeting with him. The way he can't properly fix his collar and necktie. Who the heck brings a sling bag at work.
That nerd Kobra and this geek Tarsier. They are good rivals who excel in their field.
Despite being a shabby character, Tarsier is one of the only six S-Class agents in Liga. He is the god of paper works.
The Head Agent looked at the pile of papers enclosed in folders. Times up in reading this damn book. I have other more important matters to deal with.
The content of the book is 10/10 aside from the Happiness Crystal. Back then in my younger years, I could read a book with 1000 pages in a day. Written in small fonts at best.
Now that I'm the Head Agent, I can't even finish reading a book with only 400 pages within three days.
Have I gotten weaker? I can't read books with the same frequency as back then anymore.

In the school canteen.
Amado is holding a plastic platter with three buckets of chicken, softdrink and a plate of rice. Tristan and Niño are behind him. "Hey girls. These two are going to eat with me. Is it okay to share a table with them?" He said then sat on the table where Pam and her two friends are sitting.
The three girls looked at each other.
"Sure." Pam said with a forced smile. She is irritated but is appearing friendly. Why of all guys, I'm sharing a table with these two!
Pam is wailing but does not show it. Fine, if I act friendly, Amado will see me as someone who is friendly to ugly people.
This is going to be awkward. Niño sat first on the table and acted cool.
Tristan sat with his head held down. He became anxious and just stared at his lunchbox. Taking a lunch in the same table with Pam who rejected me a day ago! This day is the worst.
Pam and Leon are facing each other on the opposite sides of the table while the other two girls are facing Tristan and Niño.
What will my friends think about me? Sitting on the same table with these two freaks. Pam is centered on his status.
Pam is popular in this school. Hmm, I can make good use of her. Amado sees a new opportunity.
"Hey Pam, It seems you're famous in this school?"
"Correct. Pam here is one of the Five Beauties. She's the most popular and beautiful girl in this school." Pam's friend replied.
Pam was flattered. "Oh girls, Stop It. You're embarrassing me. As they said, I have quite a high authority in this school. You can ask for help from me with anything."
Tristan and Niño are just sitting there. They continued eating their lunch without talking. Niño is munching over his food like a greedy pig.
"By the Way. Are you friends with Ryker Villar?"
"Huh?" Pam is startled. "Oh, that guy. He's an acquaintance. Why?"
Acquaintance, not friend? "I heard about him. Woah, we have a billionaire classmate."
"I know right. Would you like me to introduce you to him? He rarely goes to school with his bodyguards though." Pam is trying to impress Amado.
I see. So those two empty seats in the classroom were Ryker and his guard.
"To think that there are many talented individuals in this school. There are even girls that look like goddesses in real life, like you. I can't believe I'm sharing the same table with one." Amado is good at appealing girls.
"Aww." Pam blushed. Her beautiful face became redder.
The girls got excited.
"Yup there are many talented individuals here."
"Hey, are you aware of all the large factions inside the campus?" Pam asked him.
Amado is intrigued. "Interesting, can you tell me more?"
"St. Thomas Varsity. They are athletes who play Basketball, Volleyball and Badminton. They merged into one single group."
"Troops. They are a gang of bullies. Brando is their leader, that person who punched you earlier. They are not those type of bullies that will harm you physically because the school rules in St. Thomas is strict when it comes to bullying. All they can do is badmouth their target."
"Circle of Friends. Ryker and his selected friends who runs the Teendustry, a large business enterprise. There are only four of them studying here inside our school."
"Student Government. The current president is Gloria. They hold the power to govern the entire campus."
"And lastly my Pam's Family, Hehe. You will now be under my care so you don't have to worry about those other factions going after you."
"Thanks for the info, Pam. You're good at this." Amado compliments her.
"Aw, not really. I'm used to informing students about these factions to spread awareness." Pam is playing with her hair.
"Hey Niño, you seem to be enjoying your food?" Pam said. This pig, does he have no manners? Munching food as if there's tomorrow.
Nino's mouth is full, "Yep, it's so good. This crispy buttered chickens with garlic sauce was Amado's treat to us."
"These three buckets were all bought by you? Hey, do you come from a rich family, Amado?" Pam asked.
"Ah. My parents are doctors but we're not that rich." Amado said with confidence.
He has a nice body, a desirable face, a high status, and a good personality. I found him, the perfect man. Pam glowed.
My destiny.
*****
It's 3PM. It's vacant time after an exhausting class.
Gloria came across Pam's group of five girls who are walking on the opposite direction.
Heh. Pam glared at her.
That b*tch. Gloria passed by their group.
