《My Hollywood System》MHS - Chapter 178
Advertisement
Will's emotions were in disarray. Thoughts were conflicted, and he was internally feeling shocked by what he just saw.
By taking huge breaths, he tried to calm himself down. Nothing seemed to work. The picture of Uncle Ben with blood played in his mind over and over. Since he thought he could not make it through the day, he had no option other than clearing the schedule for the day.
"Cancel all of my schedule for today," Will said through the intercom connected to Alexia's office.
"Okay, sir, is everything okay?" Alexia's voice came through it, a bit surprised, knowing how much of a workaholic Will is.
"Yeah," Will said and stopped the conversation.
After a while, he went to the bathroom, wanting to get rid of the image playing in his mind. Splashing some water on his face, he looked at his reflection in the mirror. Shaking his head, he thought clearly about what he saw and could do.
Different thoughts clouded his mind as he struggled to come up with a solution. The little vision kept ringing in his head, and he splashed some more water on his face.
After he got a bit calmer, he started to think of ways to avoid the scene he saw.
The first choice was to not go to the party. The situation became crystal clear because Uncle Ben was stabbed there. He realized the environment and the situation, so the first choice seemed good.
But he also remembered how the system had clearly mentioned that Will could not avoid the situation.
"Ugh, what should I do?!"
Will muttered to himself while his hand was placed on his jaw. Sweat was forming on his forehead, and he felt as if there would be no such choice as to not attend the party.
After thinking thoroughly for a few minutes, he decided that, in the end, it would be better to go to the party than to face something unknown, something worse, maybe.
The thought of stopping Uncle Ben from going to the party came to his mind, but he felt like the person who was going to attack him might attack somewhere else, which would be much worse because Will would not even be able to see it, or do anything against it.
The final thought was that at least he knew that Uncle Ben would be attacked at the party and could plan against it.
He opened the system with all the thoughts travelling in his mind and checked if he could buy some martial arts skills, but all of those were locked like his system was telling him that he needed to deal with the situation himself.

His frustration was clear because right when he wanted a skill, it was not available.
Checking more, he realized that all unlocked skills were related to music and movies. Only if music and movies could solve the situation, he thought.
With a frown on his forehead, he got out of the bathroom. He started to think about what he could possibly do. Various types of plans came to his mind, but he shrugged them off, thinking of reasons why they could go wrong.
He finally thought of something and went to Amanda's office. Amanda was shocked to see Will since it was an unusual time for Will to visit.
He also looked haggard, and his face, hair and clothes were wet.
"Will." Amanda stood and took his name.
"Amanda, can you ask Jeffery to come here for a minute?" Will asked.
"Okay, sure," Amanda replied quickly and notified Jeffery to meet them in her office.
After two knocks, Jeffery got permission to come inside the office. His eyes asked questions because Amanda mentioned that Will was asking for his presence. Nevertheless, he came in hiding all of his thoughts.
"What happened, Will? Why are your clothes wet?" Jeffery came in with a smile, but his eyes widened seeing Will.
Will just sighed and sat down.
Jeffery sat beside Will in front of Amanda. They both went silent after that. Will broke the silence with a question that Amanda and Jeffery did not expect to be coming in their way.
"Have any of you noticed a weird person following Uncle Ben? Or anything weird happening behind his back?"
Amanda and Jeffery turned to look face-to-face with knotted eyebrows.
"What's going on?" Amanda asked while Jeffery had the same question written on his face.
"You two won't understand even if I try to explain. Can you guys access the security cameras and check if something unusual is happening?" Will said, and Amanda immediately accessed the security footage to see if there was something like that.
There were still questions in her mind, but she decided to listen to Will.
"Check if it is behind his back or around him, something he won't notice, and subtle," Will added more.
Amanda, who nodded at his words, tracked Ben's parking lot security cameras, the ins-and-exits, and everywhere Uncle Ben was. Even inside the office hallways, she checked the cameras. Since she was taking time because of how close she had to watch every movement of everyone around Ben, Jeffery brought his personal computer and started doing his own investigation.
Minutes passed by. Will kept looking at each of their laptops while standing behind them with no expression. He could not let the worry show for now since he knew how many questions might arise from Amanda and Jeffrey.

"No one," Amanda said and shook her head. She still kept typing things on her laptop and checking the logs.
"What about you, Jeffery? Anything?" Amanda turned to look at him.
"Yeah, nothing unusual. What is up?" Jeffery asked and looked at Will.
"I just feel like someone is following him."
"Someone is following him? I don't think so. From what I saw, there is nothing like that on display. At least nothing unusual in the office." Amanda said and frowned.
"Hmm… Is that so? By the way, did you both get an invitation to Asthon's party?"
Will questioned, suddenly bringing up an unusual topic.
They both nodded. Since they could not comprehend what was happening inside Will's mind, they kept a close ear for what he was saying. They were constantly feeling something was up from how Will kept staring and being serious.
"Hire some bodyguards for the day," Will said.
That, in fact, was a valid request. Celebrities need bodyguards due to how crazy people can be. But if it was for Uncle Ben, Amanda thought there could be something more happening around him that Will was aware of.
"I'll make the arrangements," Amanda said in a monotone voice.
***
Will was dressed in a suit which made him appear like a millionaire. It was a three-piece, dark brown suit. His hair was neatly combed, while his tie was yet to be adjusted'.
Behind him was June. With her daily attire, looking at Will and how he got ready. She has been noticing Will's weird behaviour since last night. Will was not feeling well and even skipped dinner, which was very unusual for him.
Even while getting dressed and trying to put on the suit, she noticed how he zoned out like he was constantly thinking of something.
"What's wrong?" June asked, noticing how uneasy Will looked.
Will turned to look at the mirror and kept adjusting his suit. For the past couple of minutes, he was trying to complete the look for the day, yet he was held back by his own mind.
"I feel like something bad would happen at the party, and it honestly makes me tense," Will said and shook his head. "This is why I'm not taking you with me today."
After the small discussion with Amanda and Jeffrey, Will made sure to tell them not to come to the party. But they insisted. Will had no choice but to agree with them.
He wanted to tell them about his vision, but they were never going to believe him, no matter how much they trusted him.
Thankfully, after his warning, Robert and Leo decided to not attend the party. Although they were sceptical, they knew from the expressions of Will, it must be something serious.
Noticing the bitter mood on Will's face, June hugged him from behind.
"It's rare to see you like this," June muttered in a whisper. She thought that whatever was going on in his mind must be serious since Will was someone who is always composed. "Should I come with you?" June asked again.
"Stay at home," Will said and kissed her hand.
June tried to calm him down with words, and then they talked for a while. Will's mind flew to the scene from time to time, but he composed himself listening to June's words.
"Time to go. I love you," Will said and kissed her forehead.
He walked outside and saw the bodyguards who stood in front of his house. They looked bulky and tall and almost twice the size of Will.
On his way to the car, Will ordered to take him to Uncle Ben's house.
***
Jeffery and Amanda were inside the car, going towards the venue of the party. They both looked fine to the core. Amanda had her hair tightly combed to the back of her head and a fitting dress which looked perfect on her petite body.
Jeffery wore a suit with patterns and looked exceptionally good due to his body sculpture which fit the suit.
The reason they were together was that Jeffery wanted to talk about Will's strange behaviour.
"Can we believe what Will said?" Jeffery questioned.
They both had the worry in the depth of their mind but refused to talk till the moment. Since Jeffrey could not handle it anymore, he decided to talk about it first.
"Will is eccentric but was never wrong. More than that, I have never seen him act like that before,"
"Uh, yeah, Will doesn't act for no reason." The words worried Jeffery visibly. "I'm kinda worried… I hope everything goes right," he muttered slowly, but his words were audible to Amanda.
Although Amanda refused to show how worried she was, she was equally confused and nervous on the inside. She knew Will was not someone who would act like how he did for no reason. Whatever was about to happen, she prayed in her mind that things should go fine.
