《Guild of Thieves》The Plan Resumes With Some Unexpected Help
Advertisement
Adrian returned to the dorms when everyone was eating dinner. He got his slop before sitting together with his friends, who were chatting about how different plant classificasions and their stupidity like bananas being herbs and bamboo being grass.
Andrei was the first person to notice Adrian. When he sat down Andrei immediately alerted him "You came back at a good time, Scrya has been acting suss for a while now. Now that your here I expect he might finally do whatever it is that has been keeping him so anxious."
Sam, more curious about Adrian than Scrya, asked "So why did you have to stay behind? Did you see Dad after you finished?"
"All the higher ups were brought in to watch my affinity testing, going through each and every affinity type, before finally offering me private tutoring and grooming. David said 48 hours, it has been 24. I will see him tommorow."
"Hmpf. You better." Adrian could say one thing about the father-daughter duo, they were very close and protective of each other.
Scrya, satisfied that the most important person was in the room finally made his move. He slyly pulled out an envolope and hid it on Trozes seat, with only the corner peeking out.
"Hey Trozes, look what I found!" said Scrya, making a huge fuss. He pulled out the letter and began reading.
"It would appear someone has a secret admirer, lets see what else it says~" he continued playfully.
"NO!" Trozes shouted. He snatched the confession from Scrya's hands and began reading to himself.
"All I wanted to know was who it was from." stated Scrya. He was looking straight at Adrian, wearing a sardonic grin on his face. The only person fooled was Trozes.
After the commotion they continued eating in peace. After a moment of awkward silence Andrei provoked conversation "So will the plan still run?"

Adrian gave a curt response "Yes."
"But they know who it's from. They are going to come prepared."
"We can't avoid them, it would ruin everything. The point is to make them tilted. If we avoid them they will feel safe but if we get them despite their protection, it will be even more effective."
"So how are we going to overcome their protection?" asked Emilia quietly.
"If we can't beat them with one use ten. If you can't beat them with ten use a hundred." spoke Adrian with his infinite wisdom.
"But there are only the four of us. We can't get help due to the delicacy if the situation, so where does the hundered come in?"
"Who said we can't get help? We just need to make sure they don't ask why we are doing this." The conversation drifted off as they waited for Trozes and co to leave. After they left, Adrian slowly went over to a large crowd on the other side of the canteen. This was the mainstream crowd, it's members comprised of pretty much everyone who wasn't with Trozes, Adrian or were social outcasts.
"Adrian!" called out one of the girls in the group. It was one of the girls who were hitting on Andrei yesterday. "What brings you over to this side of the room?"
Adrian friendlily replied "I need to ask you all a favor." Despite his tone they were all shocked, he wasn't doing anything weird yet they all had one thought going through their head. Mr. Perfect was asking for a favor.
One of the quicker ones asked "What do you need our help for? What can we do for you?" there was an emphasis on the "you". It hurt Adrian a little, as much as he was expecting it.

A smarter member of the group asked "Does it have to do with that letter?" Adrian realised it would be a tad harder than he first thought to pull the wool over their eyes.
Adrian replied "Something occured that quite frankly pissed me off."
"First he asks for a favor, now he loses that friendly Adrian "Everything is Perfect" vibe, what's next, flying pigs, a west rising sun?" the criwd seemed disturbed by his attitude. It made him wonder if they saw him as human. Probably not, he thought. Being human is all about making mistakes, and Mr Perfect doesn't do those. Adrian sighed internally. He sighed internally. This was not arrogance, narcissism or pride. It was cold hard fact. That just made it all the worse.
The smart one spoke up once more, taking representation of the group "So what exactly do you need us to do. We assume this is about Trozes?"
Adrian replied in the affirmitive.
"So what do you need us to do?"
"First I need to know if your in or not. Only then can I tell you what I had in mind."
"Now that is ringing alarm bells. If it's like that I am gonna have to ask for some reason we should accept."
"Firstly, this is an oppurtunity to screw Trozes over and I can't see a person among you who would dislike the idea. He's a bully and a tyrant after all. Secondly, finals are coming up and may very well influence your futures. I am willing to offer you all a copy of my notes."
One of the loud obnoxious ones cried out "You give those out anyway."
"I am referring to the other notes." This caused great murmuring amongst themselves. Adrian had two sets of notes, one he was willing to share to the public and his private ones for friends only. While the public ones were still top notch and incomparable to there own. His private ones were on a whole other level, the stuff of legends. Andrei, Sam and Emilia were already top students, but after recieving these notes, they excelled and surpassed all other students whom they were equal to. When asked why bother making two pairs when he should just create the one good copy Adrian replied "This is not a charity. I have no obligation to help you. Is it wrong to give my friends a leg up?" and no one questioned him after that. Would they not do the same thing? He already gave them a copy far better than their own. It was safe to say Trozes had never seen Adrians notes.
"We agree to this proposel." spoke the smart one. She offered out her hand and Adrian took it.
"Perfect. So here is the plan."

Reincarnation of a Businessman
A businessman is betrayed by those he holds dearest and reincarnates into a mystical world of cultivation where the power of a single person can split the heavens. However, his reincarnation does not go smoothly... ******************** This is a xianxia (cultivation/progression fantasy) story which fuses a lot of western fantasy elements. This story includes POV's of different characters which are all going to be developed in the future and will have an effect on the story. The novel is named after the reincarnation of the businessman which serves as a cataclysm in the world of cultivation, and while the MC uses some of his business knowledge, this novel is not centered around the MC creating a business empire. I plan to extend the story into at least 2 books, both taking place in the same world. ******************** Updates will happen once every 2 days, but this is often going to change to once every day or once every 3 days because I am not currently writing full-time, and neither is my editor.
