Chapter 480 The Start (2)
"Whoa, that's a lot of cops, I wonder what happened? Could there have been a police chase?"
"It's possible since that does happen quite often lately"
While the bus passed by the cars that were "abandoned" by their drivers in the middle of the road to be "Marites" and slowly shortened the distance from where the center of the commotion was happening, the students finally saw the wreckage of multiple cars on the side of the road.
"Whoa! Could it be that they are filming a movie?" one student said in wonder when they saw that most of the vehicles were filled with bullet holes and broken windows.
"That's so old school, must be a low-budget film since they are not filming it inside a virtual world"
The bus slowed its pace as the bus driver was also curious, but as they slowly passed through the area, the students inside finally realized a problem.
"Holy crap, that wasn't a movie set, wasn't it?" one of the students couldn't help but exclaim in shock when the realization finally hit him. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
"I need to call someone," said another student as he took out his phone and started dialing someone's number while walking toward the back of the bus.
The student wasn't the only one doing it, and some of the other students had also started contacting people to find out what happened since such a huge accident shouldn't be so simple.
On the other hand, Michael only smiled and watched the passing scenery as he already knew that such an incident wouldn't only be a one-time thing, and it would become a frequent occurrence until Mine Tech. Industries and the Six Great Families settle their dispute.
'I wonder how many people will lose their lives because of this conflict between these two behemoths?' Michael thought while leaning against the window with his fist on his cheek.
"This is insane! The place we passed by earlier was actually real and a shootout between two large gangs actually took place there!" one of the students immediately exclaimed in shock after finding out what happened, and with his yell, only then did the bus driver remember to turn on the television on the bus.
An hour later, the school bus finally arrived at the University and Mr. Santos gave them a brief talk before dismissing them.
"Hey Mike, what are you gonna do after this?"
Seeing Michael walking away, Brandon immediately ran up to him and asked.
Michael turned his head to the side and said, "Home, rest, then after that, probably get back on with playing Fate Online since it has been a few days from when I had a serious time playing it"
"But you even brought your Game Helmet though?" Brandon said as they walked towards the parking area of the school.
"Yeah, but I only did some small tasks due to limited time" Michael replied while messaging someone on his phone.
"Ohh, I see" Brandon absentmindedly replied and just looking at his face, it looks like he was kind of distracted with something on his mind.
"By the way, uhh, I know this may sound weird, but I just had to ask, are you seeing someone?" Brandon asked, and just from his face, he was clearly embarrassed by asking such a personal question, especially coming from a man since such a question might cause some misunderstanding if someone they are not familiar with happened to overhear them.
Even Michael was slightly startled when he heard it since asking such a straightforward question isn't something a man would normally do, unless...
"Are you asking me this question because you're genuinely curious or because someone had goaded you into asking it for them?" asked Michael as he was quick to realize that someone must have told Brandon to ask him about it.
"I-"
"You don't need to answer, and yes, I'm already seeing someone else"
Michael didn't even give him the chance to explain and just cut him off, then he patted Brandon's shoulder and continued, "And you should really up you're dating game, my friend"
Shocked, Brandon just stood there and watched Michael walk away with an incredulous look on his face.
"What does that suppose to mean!? That's not even one bit related to what I said!"
