Chapter 3 - Revolution (1/2)

”Mr Grey?”

I stopped my chuckling, turning my attention to the scene.

”I know you are rich, but you shouldn't look down on James!” Nelson rebuked me as he stood up. He gave me a passionate and defensive glare as he stood up straight.

”Don't worry, Dan. I am used to this.” James comforted.

Jack smiled towards me with an almost villainous expression, signalling his favour like an absolute prick. I sighed inwardly, I still hate this guy. I made Jack's character like one of those obnoxious bullies that you can find in any TV show, and I turns out that it feels more disgusting in person. Ughhh!

But to be honest, I can't get on the protagonist's bad side; that would not be good for my well-being. Plus I just got a few random notifications on my holographic screen, I'd rather have a look at it before I make any stupid decisions.

Uggghhhh... Welp, I'd rather not become friends with Jack.

”Heh... you see? No one likes ya! James, just leave Haven already!” Jack continued with his abuse.

I honestly can't take this right now, but I don't know how to deal with this guy... acting like a concerned person wouldn't really fit Simon's character, I'd need a much more sophisticated approach... but then again, Simon wasn't an amazing person with words.

But then again, I am not Simon. Let's see what happens if I spice up this scene...

I turned my head towards Jack and gave a subtle smile. Now I am going to rip him to shreds.

”Sorry, but I am not laughing at James...” I curled my mouth to form an evil smile. The light in the room suddenly reflected from my eyes as I spoke, drawing emphasis to my eyes.

”You seem to be awfully confident when you talk, Jack. You must be sooooo happy that you finally found someone that you can pick on... it must make your d.i.c.k very hard since you finally don't look the worst, right?” I said in a mocking tone.

”You don't know what you are talking about!” Jack shouted as he got up from his chair.

”Oh, I am quiet sure.” I spoke as I suddenly directed a gaze of malicious intent towards Jack. The ambient light made me look like a wolf stalking its prey, emphasising the apparent green colour in my eyes.

”Eeeck!” Jack suddenly tripped backwards and landed b.u.t.t first on his chair.

”Hmmph, That's what I thought.” I gently spoke as I returned my gaze to the screen in front of me.

After I finished dealing with Jack, I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. 'Damn... that was so stressful!' I thought to myself. I have never done that to someone before, but for some reason it felt so natural. Investing into charisma was definitely not a mistake.

After a few more seconds, I calmed down. I now felt focused.

”Hey, Mr Grey.” A voice spoke out to me.

I turned my head back to the direction of James and Dan.

”Yes?” I asked calmly.
