16 Meeting Old Friends

Alex soon reached his house and ran towards his room. He wore whatever he could get at the first sight afterall he was still a child no one was going to judge him based on his informal clothes. He then called Sebastian to inform him that he was on his way to the meeting.

Sebastian had very good contacts in the research community it was based on his help that Alex was able to patent his inventions without a hiccup on the other hand Sebastian took this as an opportunity to display his mighty disciple in front of his old friends.

But in reality lately he was nothing more than a personal assistant to Alex but he didn't feel bad about it afterall he knew Alex was bound to become someone prominent in the future.

Alex messaged his mom that he was leaving the house and didn't wait for her reply lest she nags him to eat breakfast and offer to drive him there. Alex just rushed towards the sky parking on the top floor of his house where his jet-car was parked. He sat in and clicked on a certain location on its screen. The car activated and hovered into the air before rushing of at full speed.

The planet of Faras was crowded as ever. There were jet-cars flying everywhere around him. Green grass and pavements covered the land in an orderly sophisticated way while towering sky scrapers which pierced the clouds were standing tall around him.

The place where he was supposed to visit was some 100 kms away. It would take him around 30 minutes to reach there so Alex decided to play some games till then.

A smile formed on his face as he recalled his only close friends which he made in his previous high school life when he was about 14

The game on the inbuilt virtual console in his car connected to the server immediately and there they were, three people with weird usernames above their avatars Position69, LordChilax, SuckBoobsKillNoobs namely Lucas, Max and Adam were waiting for him in the lobby.

As soon as he joined the party on the game as always cussing could be heard.

"Batsard I was just one kill away from reaching the diamond rank and you took it. I am going to mess you up badly Adam" Lucas said to Adam chasing him with a knife.

Adam started laughing and his avatar bent to show his ass to Lucas. "mess me common mess me, I am waiting" While Max couldn't hold in and burst into laughter as he saw Adam's gestures.

Lucas pressed the screen recording option sneakily and couldn't help but crack a nefarious smile as he murmured shaking his head,

"pch…pch… I wonder what uncle Jason's reaction would be when he sees a footage of the heir of Oberoi family doing such actions"

Adam's eyes immediately widened he fell from his position and spoke in an angry voice "Lucas, you son of a bitch, have you never heard of something called bro code"

Max who was still watching the drama after noticing Alex connecting to the party immediately went to his side and placed his hands on Alex's shoulders while pointing to the quarel, "they are at it again, do something"

Soon Lucas and Adam both turned to look at Alex. Lucas smiled and said in a condescending tone, "finally you got time to be with us huh!"

Adam on the other hand went and held Alex's avatar's shoulders as he begged for help, "you just saw what happened right tell that bastard to delete the footage or I will be dead, save me Alex"

Alex just shook his head and smiled pushing Adam aside as he walked towards Lucas and said in a righteous tone "Lucas why are you using the footage just for the sake of revenge when we can use it to buy epic items from Adam for us"

Lucas and Alex both smiled looking at each other understandingly and then at Adam while Max could just shake his head and sigh. Adam looked at the smiling faces and his face twitched before he said, "alright but nothing more than one item each"

All of them then together started laughing in joy except for Adam. Alex looking at the dejected Adam reeled him in with his shoulders and smiled saying, "don't worry next time we will swindle Lucas alright" before a satisfactory smile was formed on Adam's face.

Alex went to a private college in his previous life where he had met Adam Oberoi and Lucas Shelby the heirs of two powerful families. But unlike other students in the school who acted high and mighty these two were loners and were considered freaks. Adam was a fat guy with a carefree and astoundingly shameless attitude.

Not a week in and there were already complaints registered against him for harassing the girls. Lucas on the other hand was what one would call a rogue. He didn't follow the rules did whatever he wanted. But the only thing common among them both was never once did they use their families name or it's power to do something whether it was a fight or a punishment they took it head on.

Alex admired this about them. As for Alex he was sort of the silent guy in his school. He didn't have much friends he would always keep doing his own work but because of his good looks and especially the captivating golden eyes he was approached by many girls which made the boys in his college start spreading rumors about him and so he had unknowingly joined the freak society of school.

Alex liked solitude but that was because only because he never got the company he wanted, he was the kind of guy who would do anything for people close to him so he was pretty reserved before making relations with anyone lest they take undue advantage of him.

But there was another member in the freak society a rather hated personality amongst all Max Smith. A son of martyred military soldier who got admission based on scholarship. He was the bully target of the entire school.

His old clothing, outdated gadgets and high scores in the academy pissed everyone off and to top it off his indifferent attitude towards everyone never changed even after getting ganged up many times.

Adam who was the most notorious of them all became friends with Max first hoping that he could copy Max's answers in the exam but in the end Max actually forced Adam to study hard and pass the exam himself.

As for Lucas he met Alex in a party thrown by some big shot where they met and had a chat seeing nothing better to do. Their thoughts were so contrasting to each other that they actually developed an interest in one another.

Lucas admired Matthew and wanted to become like him, while Alex wanted to become someone like Lucas's father a scientist but in psychology though. This contrasting behavior slowly build a friendship in them as there debates turned into conversations.

As for Lucas and Adam they could already said to be brothers because of their families inter marriages. It was only a matter of time before one of them had an idea to meet together and hang out.

And that was how the gang of freaks came into existence.

Alex knew that out of the many things the one thing that they had in common was a game they all played used to play then "League of Agents".

Alex knew that there was no chance that he would meet his old friends based on the butterfly effect that had altered his life. At least he was very sure that he wasn't going to the same private school when he would turn 14 as he had already decided to go to the military school so there was only one way to meet the freaks through, "league of Agents"

So Alex sent a friend request on the game to the same id's they had in previous life hoping it would be the same and luckily they were. At first they acted formally with each other but as they spent time together in the game and went on missions and death matches the brotherhood didn't take long to develop.

Alex's next plan was to make sure to get them into the military school rather than the private school which they went to in the past. He was confident that he could bring Lucas and Max to the school as both of them were rather ambitious and wanted to take the martial path.

As for Adam well he wasn't sure because even in his previous life Adam never revealed what he wanted to become. It was a topic he would always avoid.
