Chapter 149 Graduation 3 (1/2)
John and Cael were, at most, acquaintances. They rarely spoke with each other, just a few times in the past, and it always started when Cael keep pestering John until he speak with him.
Most of the times is John fleeing as soon as he catch the sight of Cael's shadow.
Although his relatively coldness towards him, Cael continually stayed by his side.
Cael was the guy that almost everybody in their class avoided like a plague.
With his inherent ability to read people's emotions, expressions, and body movements, he could easily see through lies and falsehood.
On top of his ability, he was also the type of guy that knew about almost everything about everyone.
Spying, hacking, observing.
He always make sure to know everything possible from everyone.
Cael do it more like a hobby, it was in his nature.
If someone wanted to know something about someone else, they go ask Cael and he would know a few things.
That's why a lot of people hated Cael and maintained certain distance from him.
As for why he was overly friendly with John, no one knew why, the other students always wondered the reason.
The only person that he was somewhat close was the number 1 in the overall ranking.
Only these two speak with Cael.
Well...for John, was more like Cael keep bothering him and pestering him despite John clearly showing he was annoyed by his actions.
In the overall ranking of their class he was at the 5th place.
He was the best at spying, psychology, and hacking.
With his abilities, it was certain he would be assigned to pretty important post as soon as they graduate, that means, after today.
...
”John, I have some juicy news that I can't help but share with you.” Cael was accompanying John as they mindlessly walked around, ”All the higher ups of the Terrene Protectorate came to Earth.”
John was surprised by what Cael just told him.
”Curious?” Cael mischievously smiled, ”If you give me a kiss, maybe-”
Without waiting for Cael to finish, John had already walked pretty far away from him.
”Wait!” Cael shouted as he caught up with John, ”I'll tell you, don't run away. Geez, I was just joking.”
Cael cleared his throat and continued, ”From the information I gathered, some outposts have been destroyed by a mysterious entity. All the higher up of the Protectorate across the entire universe came back to Earth to discuss about this entity with the Grand Protector and the Elder Council.” Cael's face turned serious, ”For them to leave their posts just to come here and discuss, this shows how important and confidential this information is. They could have used their PIPS to make a reunion, or have made it via SkyNet, but they still chose to discuss face to face.”
”If this is so confidential, how did you got the information?” John curiously asked.
”That's a secret~” Cael smiled coquettishly.
John's whole face twitched as he saw how Cael tried to act cute, ”Please... don't try act cute...it hurt my eyes.”
