A RICH YOUNG MAN HOLDING THE WORLD

“Alright, our class ends here. Don’t forget to prepare yourself for our field trip. We will go to the museum of ancient relics. Don’t be late and miss the bus.” “Okay, Prof!” The bald-headed old man came out while occasionally adjusting the position of his glasses. Meanwhile, some of the students in the class looked so lazy. Some were sleeping, some were flirting, some were chewing with their gum, and some were joking around. Some even just chuckled, while underestimating. “Do you know what the old professor is doing? How can you major in business but study ancient animals as a subject. Is he crazy?” A blonde haired man brushed his hair back, then his blue eyes looked around the classroom. Until his glance fixed on a figure of a man while smiling meaningfully. He drew an eyebrow, giving a signal to his two friends to move immediately and follow him. Spontaneously, his two friends immediately understood the man’s instructions. Walking towards a bench where his chair was, there was another man, black haired with a perfect middle parting and thick glasses that framed his beautiful eyes. But, the man was still busy transferring word by word from the white board into his thick notebook. “Hey Xavier. Can you help me to do something?” “Yes?” The figure immediately looked up. His brown, caramel eyes narrowed as his eyeballs widened. The man named Xavier immediately shuffled backwards, but another man was already standing right behind him. “Wh… what is it, Stephen?” he whispered, he was frightened. “Come on, what’s wrong with you? I just want you to teach me something but you’re already scared like that. Do you think I am a … scary friend?” Xavier then looked down. He shook his head perfectly. He was still feeling scared and he tried to pray that the blue-eyed man wouldn’t make fun of him. “Wow, isn’t Xavier known as a diligent student? Stephen, look at his many notebooks. I’m sure we can help him clean up the mess in that notebook.” “No, do not!” Xavier spontaneously said that. The three men had already taken Xavier’s notebook. They laughed out loud, playing with Xavier. “What’s wrong Xavier? We just want to help. Don’t you want us to help you?” “That notebook is my one and only notebook. Do me a favor and return my book, Stephen.” Xavier begged desperately. He wished that someone would help him. However, there was not a single friend who cared about him. “Is this notebook very important to you, Xavier?” “Yes, please return the notebook, Stephen.” “I’ll return it to you. Under one condition. Kneel down and kiss my feet.” Xavier was silent, he didn’t necessarily do what Stephen ordered him to do. But the chair he was sitting on was immediately pulled by one of Stephen’s friends, causing Xavier to fall perfectly on the floor. Stephen’s other friend quickly forced Xavier to kneel, and tried hard to make Xavier kiss Stephen’s feet. The three men laughed again seeing Xavier who was so helpless. “Kiss my feet and beg, Xavier. Then I will give this notebook of yours to you.” Stephen ordered. “Give me my notebook.” “Begging by kissing my feet!” Stephen was annoyed because Xavier wouldn’t do anything he ordered. In fact, Xavier seemed reluctant to do that. “Xavier!” “I don’t want to kiss your feet, Stephen.” Xavier answered softly. “Quickly return my notebook, I beg you.” Hearing Xavier’s words, Stephen was furious. He was immediately furious with a real annoyed grin on his face. Annoyed, Stephen took the scissors in his bag, doused the notebook with water, then cut and tore the notebook into pieces. Xavier was stunned in disbelief to see that his notes was torn into pieces that they couldn’t be saved. Seeing Xavier’s expression, Stephen’s two friends immediately released Xavier. The three of them burst out laughing at how Xavier was suffering. Xavier can only curse himself, as the poorest student on campus, it seemed like being bullied will still be something he will continue to experience until the end. ***** “Xavier, can you take a picture of me with this statue?” “Oh, yes I can. I will do my best for you.” Xavier looked awkward, but he was very happy. How could he not? Helena, the most popular woman on campus, knew his name. More than that, the beautiful woman asked him for help. And Xavier had been secretly in love with Helena for a long time. “Is it done?” “Could you move to the right side … a little bit?” Xavier said reluctantly. Helena, who was already used to the camera, immediately shifted her standing position, made a V with her two fingers and smiled sweetly. Xavier could only admire this beautiful woman through his camera, then he took several pictures of the beautiful figure he loved. “Did you get it, Xavier?” “Yes, I did.” “Is it pretty?” “Yes, pretty. You are so pretty, Helena. Erm, what I meant is that the photo is really pretty.” Helena smiled sweetly, then she saw Xavier’s shots. Satisfied, Helena nodded her head. “Yes, I think the photo is pretty. Thank you, Xavier. You can send the softcopy to my number that is in the campus group, right? Or else you can give me the photo after you print it.” “Okay, I’ll do it.” “I’m waiting for you and thank you very much.” One tap on the shoulder from Helena made Xavier freeze, Xavier could only stand dumbly in the doorway. Meanwhile Stephen and his two best friends watched this with disgusted faces. “Did you guys see that?” “A frog is longing for the moon, lest the story of the frog prince will happen in real life.” Brian chuckled. “Are you crazy, Brian? How could Helena want to love Xavier back? Xavier’s love for Helena is just one-sided love. They are like heaven and earth which can never come together and is impossible. Helena will only be mine.” “Yes. You are Stephen. You are the richest student on campus. Who else is most suitable for Helena? So what do you want to do to the poor man, Stephen?” “Let’s exterminate him forever.” The three of them immediately rushed away, circling the museum. Meanwhile Xavier had been busy with his photos and notebooks again. In note-taking, Xavier was the most diligent. That was why he got the scholarship for his intelligence and diligent attitude. “You can ask questions if you don’t understand the things in this museum. In this part you may touch it. But for the inside, you may not touch it. Just look and observe from outside the display, OK?” “Yes, Ma’am!” “And one more thing, the warehouse on the left side has been empty for a long time and the door is damaged. I hope that not a single student will make a mistake and think that the warehouse is one of the museum rooms that is still functioning. Because very few people go in there, I’m afraid you’ll get stuck in there.” “Yes, Ma’am!” Hearing the guide said that there was a damaged warehouse where museum officials rarely visited made Stephen have an idea. Moreover, Xavier didn’t pay attention to any directions from the tour guide. “Quickly tell that man to fall into our trap.” “Wait until we all leave the museum, Stephen.” Not long after examining one room, all of the business majors moved on to the next room. Only Xavier was left behind. Brian immediately approached Xavier with a panicked expression on his face. “Xavier, did you know that Helena was waiting for you in that room?” “Lekas suruh lelaki itu untuk masuk dalam jebakan kita.” “Huh, Helena is waiting for me there?” Xavier asked. Staring at a room that looked dark and lonely, he then looked at Biran again. “Why is Helena waiting for me there?” “Well, I don’t know. It’s just that Helena said she wanted to discuss about her photo. If you don’t mind, please go there. I’m afraid Helena will wait too long for you.” About her photo? Of course this led Xavier to believe Brian, because he had a brief conversation about the photo with Helena. Xavier nodded his head perfectly, then he walked stupidly towards the room. Just as he entered, suddenly …. Click! Xavier turned his head as the door to the room was closed perfectly. How panicked Xavier was at that time. Especially when he heard laughter from Stephen and his friends. Xavier realized that this was not because Helena was there. But he was being trapped by Stephen. “Quickly get me out, Brian! I want to go home!” “Rot down there, Fool! Do you think we will let you go? Get out of campus, if necessary, get off the face of this earth!” Silence, after Stephen’s words everything became silent. Xavier still tried to open the door, but couldn’t at all. Xavier searched for light with his cell phone, looking for something he might use to open the door to the empty room. Until Xavier’s hand accidentally touched and dropped a fairly small crate box. Xavier, who was initially panicked by his condition, began to have his mind diverted. Quite curious about the box, a box with strange carvings and a ruby gem on it, Xavier curiously stroked the box. Then he fell when the box suddenly opened and gave out a white dazzling light. “Welcome to the Asparagus system, Master. You are the lucky person who can open this system. Therefore, you get the chance to receive ten trillion dollars. The money will automatically go into your bank account, and you must be on a mission to keep that money in your possession.” Slowly but surely, the light began to dim and disappear. A black card with Xavier Moreno’s name neatly engraved in gold embossed was left in his Xavier’s hand. Xavier was still in disbelief as he saw the card in his palm. Until …. Click! The door to the dark room opened, a men and a woman dressed in black suits entered the room. “Mr. Moreno, forgive us. We were late to pick you up.”
