The Fat God System

With Sebastian's provocation, Aric almost lost his sanity. Aric's whole body blew up into a black fiery mess that could not be controlled.

Aric rushed towards Sebastian, but Hugh stopped him before he could go anywhere. Hugh was engulfed in the black flame, but he was unaffected by it.

"Stop, Aric. He's provoking you," Hugh said as he tried to talk some sense into Aric. He then looked at Sebastian to see why he was trying to make Aric mad.

"Is this the kind of thing a son thinks of his father? That is a sin that is beyond acceptable," Sebastian said as he looked towards Aric with a malicious smile on his face.

Hugh could feel Aric's hatred of Maverick explode out of his body. Aric's whole body was shivering, and he was like a wild animal that only uses its instincts.

"What will your father do once he knows you want to kill him?" said Sebastian as he walked closer to the group. This garnered some defensive stares from everyone since they could tell how dangerous he was.

Sebastian then calmly walked past everyone like they were not there, invisible to the world. His walk was pretentious since he knew that Aric and his friends could not win against him.

"Let me go, Hugh. We can't let him get away!" Aric exclaimed as he tried to get away from Hugh's grasp. However, Hugh did not let him go.

"Don't worry I won't tell him…yet," Sebastian said as he stopped in his tracks and looked at everyone one by one. It was clear from his eyes that he was familiar with everyone, maybe too family.

"Perhaps, you can give me certain donations every month, and maybe I won't tell your father that you want to kill him," said Sebastian as he finally revealed his evil intentions to everyone.

Sebastian was blackmailing Aric for more money. It was like his eyes were colored green through all the greed he was currently displaying.

"I don't have money," said Aric as he stopped struggling. He stood straight as he looked Sebastian in the eye and told him the truth.

Since Aric did not know his memories, he was basically a homeless person devoid of any treasures. However, Sebastian did not know that.

"Don't lie. I know how deep your family pockets go," Sebastian said. He was a guard of Maverick, which meant that he knew things about their family.

"I am not going to allow you to do this," shouted Serena as she protested this unfair transaction. As an upright student, she could not allow her classmate to be used like this.

"You will not leave this place alive. I can call upon individuals who can make sure you never talk," Serena said as she threatened Sebastian through force. She certainly had enough clout to sway individuals to restrain Sebastian.

"Hahahahah…how sweet," said Sebastian as he moved closer to Serena and gestured to caress her hair. "A former fiancée protecting its fiancé."

Even though Sebastian and Serena were a few meters away from each other, Serena stepped back away from him. She felt unnerved as she watched Sebastian gesture towards her.

"Don't you think I know that?" Sebastian said as he tilted his head, still with full confidence. There was a strange glint in his eyes that seemed to display some sort of mystery.

"I have some information that you," Sebastian said as he pointed to Serena, "you," he said as he pointed to Aric, "you," he said as he pointed to Hugh, "and you," he said as he pointed to Jane.

Their hearts skipped a beat as each one of them got pinpointed by Sebastian. Jane furrowed her eyebrows and almost charged towards Sebastian. Thankfully, she was able to stop herself.

"Hmph… that's a bluff," Serena said as she crossed her arms and swayed her head to the side.

"Hoh?" Sebastian said in a mocking tone. "Does the word, 'pearl scam' mean anything to you?" Sebastian continued with a growing smile on his face as he watched Serena's reaction.

Hugh looked at Serena and saw pure horror on her face. He could tell that she was shaken up by what Sebastian had said as her whole body was shaking like she was cold.

"And you," Sebastian said as he pointed at Jane. "Your sister," said Sebastian but he did not continue anymore. He already knew that the mere mention of Jane's sister was enough to rule her up.

Jane was no longer the peaceful and studios girl that she once was. Right now, her face was sharp and expressionless, but Hugh could tell that she was beyond angry.

"And fat guy," Sebastian said as he looked at Hugh and looked him up and down. "I know about your secret, about why you want to help Aric, and why he ended up in this place."

Hugh frowned as he heard Sebastian. It looked like Sebastian knew that Hugh had killed Aric. Hugh did not know how Sebastian knew this, but it was better if no one knew it as well.

"Don't worry, I won't blackmail you guys just yet. Right now, I just need your silence as I siphon all of Aric's money," Sebastian said with a nonchalant voice. With him knowing their secrets, it would be hard not to follow his wishes if they wanted those secrets to stay a secret.

The four students were speechless as they watched Sebastian pick them apart and flog for their vital spots. It seemed that Sebastian knew their deepest and darkest secrets that they would never tell beyond their graves.

"Goodbye, I will wait for that sizable donation," Sebastian said as he turned around and waved them goodbye without looking at any of them. It was as if he was sure that they would do as he pleased.

There was a confident smile on Sebastian's face as the four students were silent. He had done what he had accomplished to do without any hassles.

It was hook, line, and sinker.

However, in that brief moment of celebration, Sebastian let down his guard. There was a sudden black object that was headed his way.

By the time that Sebastian realized it, he was already too late. The strange object already landed on his chest with a direct attack.

Sebastian thought that he had been ambushed, but he did not feel any pain. He looked down at his chest and realized that it was a mere black cat that came into his chest.

"You scared me, little piece of s**t," Sebastian said as he held the black cat in the neck and tossed it in the ground. The cat tumbled in the air, but landed perfectly on the pavement and soon disappeared into the darkness.

"Tsk…I had such a good mood. F**k F**k F**k!" Sebastian shouted as he got angrier and angrier by the small inconvenience. He was unusually angry since he would usually retain his cool at any time.

Then, Sebastian started to stomp on the ground to ease his anger, but it only aggravated it more. He did not realize it, but he started to use his real strength as he stomped on the ground.

The pavement soon cracked and created small earthquakes in the room. This alerted the four students as they watched Sebastian act weirdly.

"What's wrong with him?" Jane asked as she looked at Sebastian uselessly destroying the ground.

Sebastian seemed to have heard Jane as he stopped in his tracks and looked towards Jane. It was then that everyone saw Sebastian's reddish eyes.

There was pure hatred in Sebastian's eyes and if looks could kill, they would have already died.

"Then again, no one will talk if everyone's dead," Sebastian said as he looked at the four students in front of him.

Sebastian's change of heart was quickly noticed by Hugh. He put the black cat and Sebastian's anger together and realized that the black cat was special.

Hugh guessed that the black cat was the entity called the 'omen' that Ace wanted him to kill.

"Guys, prepare yourselves. He will attack us," Hugh said as he warned everyone. He was the only one who realized it before it happened.

"He won't attack us, right? He only wanted money," Serena argued. It was true that Sebastian only wanted money back then. However, Sebastian was now affected by the black cat omen.

Hugh guessed that whoever touched the black cat omen, would experience anger that made them want to kill everyone on sight.

"He's affected by something out of this world," said Hugh with a vague meaning. He promised Ace not to tell everybody, so he was keeping it a secret.

"It's an extraterrestrial threat, right?" Jane said as she figured it out. She knew about ETTs so it was easy to put the puzzle together.

"I can't tell you guys," Hugh explained as he slightly nodded his head.

"That's a yes, then," Jane said as she looked at Sebastian and prepared for a difficult fight to come.
