SCHOOL FRIENDS

After a few minutes, Daveryl decided to go to the kitchen where George is waiting for him. He still needs to attend school and graduate for his future plans. Of course he also need to make plans for his life in the future, not just taking revenge to his enemies.

"George, have you received any calls from anonymous or someone who wants to connect with me?" After taking a seat, he asked.

George pause for a second before giving him hotdogs and fluffy scrambled eggs with sliced bread.

"No Master. Those who contacted me always introduced themselves before talking to me. I don't remember someone made a prank call." George answered.

Daveryl nodded as he started eating. He's thinking who might be possibly planning of kidnapping him. When someone popped up on his mind, he pause and look at George who is now also eating in front of him. The man asked why but he remains silent for a while. He then put down his utensils and seriously face George.

"Call Jobel after our breakfast, tell him what happened to me last night, but don't mention about Jaime. I'll see for myself who is my hidden enemy at school." He said.

George seems understand him so he nodded while grinning. Two of them keeps smiling until they finished eating.

After eating and dressing in a school uniform, George drove him there. But before that, he told him to talk to Ivan to find a building that he would use as an office. He has also thought of a name for the company that he will build soon. Sooner or later, the named Daveryl Ortega will rise up with the help of Ricky Sebastian.

"Do what i told you and, don't pick me up later this afternoon. Your former boss will going to fetch me up." He said before entering the gate.

George just smile and drove away.

Just as Daveryl stepped inside the campus, his three new friends greeted him with amazement. Lucas and Lander immediately put their arms on his shoulders while Kate stood in front of him with crossed arms.

"Well, well, well, how's our famous, rich and genius friend?" Kate said with bright eyes.

"Yup! My father almost choked me when is said that you're actually my friend. He asked me why I didn't tell him and introduced him to you sooner." Lander spoke too.

"You said almost? Nah man, my father gave me a fucking smack! It's still hurt!" Lucas exclaimed.

Daveryl giggle and just apologize to them innocently. Well, he doesn't know his friends background, so he has no idea that they were basically an heirs to their family businesses.

"Huh! It's fine, we are so shocked about the news anyway. And! We are using the product now!" Kate excitedly reported.

"I think, all of alphas and Omegas in school are now using it. Geeezzz! Man! We're so proud of you!" Lander exclaimed proudly.

"Nope, I will be more amazed if he treats us to a restaurant later at lunchtime." Lucas crossed his arms and pouted his lips while talking.

Daveryl couldn't help more and just burst out laughing. He then jokingly grip his chest to show his friend Lucas that he's quite disappointed. But the three of them gave him a loudly and lively laughter.

"Alright, restaurant later, my treat." He said.

The four of them continue to go to their classrooms.

When Daveryl entered his classroom, he was immediately greeted by the looks of his classmates full of admiration mixed with envy. In the last part of the section, Fidel was sitting quietly, avoiding looking at him when he turned around. Daveryl thought his bullies were pissed off after watching his public endorsement.

"Daveryl!" He was shocked to that sudden approach.

When he look behind him, he saw Jobel running towards him in a hurry. He really looks so worried. He knows, George followed his order and this is the result.

He acted like he's angry and doubting Jobel. He immediately walk towards his seat and sat there. Jobel quickly followed him and cupped his face.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt? What did they do to you?" Jobel asked one after the other.

"I'm fine, how'd you know? Did your sister tells you?" He said coldly while withdrawing himself.

"What?! No! George called me, and besides, my sister were no longer living with us. My father sent her away from home because of what she did to you." Jobel answered.

Daveryl wasn't the only one surprised by what he heard. Even their classmates who were listening and watching them were also surprised. But Daveryl's mind was not focused on that, but on the fact that Ziana was no longer at the Lopez house. Then, it means, she doesn't have enough money to hire some kidnappers. So, who the hell is his fucking enemy?!

"Daveryl, if you are suspecting my sister, don't worry, me and Dad are not angry with you. Honestly, my father are now trying to find my sister to find the truth about your attempted kidnapping . Believe me, me and Dad are on your side." Jobel said seriously while holding his hands.

Daveryl didn't say a word. He remained speechless because of the thought of who really was the master mind of the attempted kidnapping of him.

Wait, did the doctor he used to help recognize the medicinal ingredients he mentioned in the formulation of the product? Even though he mentioned the names of every medicinal ingredient, there were two that he didn't mention. And those are the main ingredients of the product.

"Daveryl.. Please believe me." Jobel once again call his name.

"I'm not angry with you, I was just doubting you and your family. That's also why I didn't invite your family to my public endorsement. Your sister is mad at me so I'm afraid she..."

"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry for what she did to you. Don't worry, we will help you find the truth." Jobel interrupted his words.

Well, its fine. He already planted the news to their classmates' minds anyway. Daveryl is certain, the surname Lopez, will no longer be able to walk outside with heads up high in the next days.

"Alright.." He answered.

When their first subject professor entered, he smiled at him before the class started. Now that he is known to the public as a medicinal genius, the people who were bullying him before are trying to get on his good side. It's just that, he's not the person they think is easy to fool, he's a fucking nightmare to their sweet dreams.

His promise of free lunch with friends happened. He took them to a famous restaurant owned by Jaime's friend. The man brought him here before the conflict happened between the two of them. So it was inevitable that the manager of the said restaurant would recognize him.

"Young Master Ortega. Long time no see." Manager Edmund Cruz greeted him just after he entered.

Daveryl smile to him and greeted back. "Hello Mr. Cruz. Yeah, I'm here again. But I'm with my classmates, please served us the most delicious food of this restaurant." He said.

"Of course! I'll call the chefs right away! Oh by the way, congratulations to your success. I'm so amazed by your speech."

"Thank you.. I'll send you one box of my product for free. Please give me your address later." He said with bright smile.

Everyone may think he is nice, but the truth is, this is what is called building connections! That's why this is the restaurant he chose, because rich businessmen comes here. So sometimes, exchanging information is needed.

"Oh! I.. I'm speechless. I'm sorry. But thank you Mr. Ortega. I'm so blessed." The man said.

He only responded with a smile until the five chefs summoned by the manager arrived. His friends were even slightly surprised, especially when he listed the dishes he wanted to eat. They politely accepted his order and returned to the kitchen, while the four of them continued to talk.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Daveryl Ortega? The one who made the Curb Plaster?" An old woman's voice caught Daveryl's attention.

They turned to see four friends who had spoken. At first he didn't recognize her, but after a while, it gradually became clear to him who the old woman was.

Mrs. Celestina Austria, wife of Doctor Roman Austria. The man who he helped once and also his father's best friend in his last life. How come that this woman is still alive after 28 years? Although she's already on her wheelchair, she's still beautiful.

"Yes.. How may I help you ma'am?" He said with a smile.

"So it's really you, the one who stole my husband's formula! Are you also the one who killed him?!" The old woman raised her voice as if she's telling the public about it.

Daveryl automatically frowned and he straightened up. "Excuse me? Who is your husband? Did I meet him even once?" He asked with coldness in his voice.

The old woman pointed her trembling finger on him. "My husband found dead the night after your endorsement! The product you made is based on his formula!" The old woman shouted.

Daveryl sighed.. "Ma'am, I don't even know who's your husband, nor I do know you. This is the first time I met you, and you're accusing me of causing your husband's death? And one more thing, you're publicly accusing me for stealing your husband's formula? Do you have proof?" Daveryl used his normal voice as Ricky.

He rested his elbow on the table while his chin rested on the back of his palm. Everyone's attention is already in their place so he won't allow anyone to destroy his name that he just made.

"Y-you.. My husband is dead! Someone killed him!" The old woman continue shouting and also now crying.

"Hah! For goddamn sake, show me your husband's formula and let's match them with mine. If I found out that you're lying and just trying to ruin me and accused me, I swear, even you're old, I'll bring this to justice." Daveryl said with dark expression. "I hate being threatened you know?!" He said, while looking at the person behind the wheel chair who is wearing facemask and hood.
