Chapter 679 Bright Lions For Life!

Date- 31 Mar 2321

Time- 20:49

Location- Sky Blossom City, Old City, Abandoned High School, Bright Lions Party.

”Boss, you are here.” Bright brothers and other small leaders of Bright Lions greeted us at the gate of the abandoned high school.

”If you didnʼt have enough budget for the party, you could have called me.” I was not satisfied with the venue Nick chose for the party. Though the Bright lions have taken over most of the gray operations of the circle in the city, it hasnʼt been long since then, and the projects werenʼt lucrative yet. It seems I should allocate separate funds for them.

”Boss, you seem to have misunderstood. I didnʼt choose this school as the venue because we lack funds. We chose it because of its history.

Though this school is in ruins now, before the monster war, this institution was where the best and brightest of the cityʼs future got their education. Later during the monster war, many brave students got together to protect their city and used this building as their base of operations. And then, after the monster war, the old city, along with its infrastructures, was in ruins. Hence abandoned as it was more lucrative for the city hall to build a new city.

Though the elder generation had abandoned the old city, the younger generation never did. This school is a symbol for all the students. It represents what a bunch of students can achieve when they set their minds to it. This symbol later became a show of power for many high school gangs. Later conquering it became a tradition.

Every year different high school gangs will gather here with one common goal, which is to conquer this abandoned high school by planting their flag on the school terrace. So this time of year, this place would be a battlefield for a bunch of high school delinquent gangs trying to subdue other high school gangs and showcase their dominance by taking over the abandoned high school.

This year though, because of your presence, all the other high school gangs have disbanded and joined Bright Lions. Some needed more convincing than others, but we managed to make the Bright Lions the only high school gang in the entire city. So by default, we, boss, you, are the sole ruler of this place.” Nick explained the history behind the venue and the significance of choosing it as he walked us to the administrative block, which was at the center of all the buildings in the high school.

”Good.” After knowing what the abandoned high school symbolized, I was no longer dissatisfied with the venue. But still, Nick could have tried to bring the action to this abandoned dust-redden ghostly place.

Stopping 100 meters from the administrative block, Nick stepped forward and yelled, ” Bright Lionʼs Boss is here. Let the party commence!”

*Sweeeeh!*

*boom* *boom*

With Nickʼs command, fireworks shot to the skies, and various light beams under the moonlight lifted the school from the darkness. Though the schoolʼs outline was visible now, an incognito darkness still loomed over it like in the nightclubs. After the fireworks and lighting, soon the loud music and sick beats followed. Finally, it felt like we were in an actual party, not a haunted high school.

Nick turned to me with a white flag with golden lion head embroidery. He passed the flag to me and said, ” please do us the honor.”

”The honor is mine.” Taking the flag, I flew and landed on the terrace of the administrative building, and with precision, I erected it on the concrete roof of the school. With that, my actions were followed by another round of fireworks. Then loud applause and chanting followed as I saw a swarm of high school students gather around the building chanting, ”Bright Lions For Life!” ”Bright Lions For Life!”

When I arrived, I had already spotted them lurking in the shadows. Seeing them finally walk out of the darkness, I guess they planned for this grand welcome.

I raised my hand in the air, signaling the mob to stop the chanting and applause. And said, ”Tonight, we begin our conquest from here and will only stop after we have conquered the world! Bright Lions For Life!”

My words were once again followed by loud applause and continuous chants, ”Bright Lions For Life!”

”We have come a long way from a bunch of misfits delinquents. Together we became Bright Lions! I bet it was tiring, so tonight we party! Tomorrow we claim the world.” I said, after the crowd had time to settle down. Once again, my words were greeted with loud applause. Without waiting for the crowd to mellow out, I flew down from the terrace and let Nick take the lead.

”Bright Lions! You know where the dancefloor, drinks, and food are at. Now let loose!” Yelling that Nick once again prioritized attending to me.

”Conquering the world? Donʼt you think you are too young for that?” Said Anna. She didnʼt mock her crush as she felt that if it was him, then those words may come true.

”Yes, yes I am.” I said, and looking Anna straight in her eyes, I added, ”I got to start at some point.”

”This side of yours turns me on.” Replied Anna, caughting me and the others next to us off guard. Susan and Kaneʼs faces were tomato red, and Corey had an irritated look. While the calamity daughter gems remained expressionless, the look of the other small leaders of the Bright Lions was full of admiration for the capability of their boss. Though they didnʼt know who Anna was, her beauty was self introductory, and for a bunch of virgin high schools, this incident was right out of a porno.

”I thought we agreed on waiting.” I remind Anna about our agreement.

”So, what, now, I cannot be honest about my feelings. You are too controlling for someone who is not my boyfriend. But all is forgiven since I like it.” Anna spoke in a sultry voice, biting on her lower lips. She gazed at me with seductive eyes. Looking into those eyes, I almost lost my footing.
