Chereads / Hanazono: Heiress / Chapter 15 - Hunger Games

Chapter 15 - Hunger Games

It's crowded and messy because women are flocking around Ethan.

"Excuse me." I kept on excusing myself to pass the women who are flocking over Ethan

"Tal, a little help please." He said so I stopped and turned in his direction

"I beg your pardon, everyone, but I believe you are interrupting our waiter's job because you are flocking over him and it's causing quite an inconvenience to our other customers," I said politely but I used my cold and intimidating voice

'Good.' I thought when I saw that they stopped and went back to their seats

"Medium chocolate sundae on table number 8," I said at the counter and went to my seat

"Good afternoon, sir. What is your order? " I told the customer

"I knew it. I was right, it was you. " The teenager said that's why I looked at him

"May I take your order?" I said politely

"Two slices of Caramel cake and large sans rival sundae." Thunder replied

"For dine-in or take-out?" I will ask

"Take out, sister." He replied so I typed it.

"That would be 267 pesos, Thunder," I said

"You're also here because of your activity, like Irene." He said and gave one five hundred peso bill.

"I received 500 pesos," I said on the microphone and opened the cash register

"Here's your change and receipt. Please wait as we prepare your order." I said and handed his receipt

"You saw Irene?" I asked

I wonder how Irene reacted when she saw them.

"Yes, Riley ran to hug her so Dad saw her as well. Jess told us they're here for the activity so I'm guessing you're also here because of that." He said

I took his order from the order window and gave it to me

"Have a good day and please come again," I said and he left

Nothing came too much and most of the time the customers would only come in and order take-out, so the number of people inside the shop decreased.

I took my phone out of my pocket and answered it when I felt it vibrating.

"Hello?" I said answering the phone

[You're working in the cafe, right?] I was surprised when I heard Lavalee's question

"Yes, why? Is there a problem? " I replied

Her tone was rather odd, not that it was unfamiliar, but because it reminded me of the time when we first joined her in a mafia mission.

[A big one, run a full system scan on the place and you'll see.] Lavalee said

"On it," I said and went to the changing room.

I took out my iPad from my bag and hacked into the security system of the cafe. I did what Lavalee told me and my eyes widened when I saw why she told me to do so.

Fifteen unauthorized weapons were detected by the system scan.

Oh, shit.

I went out with my iPad and went to talk to Jaxith in his office.

"Jax, we need to talk," I told him and he stood up

"What's up?" he asked and I showed him my iPad

"Like Irene's joke. it seems that the students will really kill each other." I said

"What? But there are civilians." He said and nodded as well

He called someone and told the facilitator to lock the place down. It was easy, under the facade of detecting a bomb and the need for evacuation until it is diffused, they managed to drive out the civilians.

"It is a school of delinquents, Jaxith. A school where gangsters, mafia, and yakuza successors are the students. Do you think they will not do this?" I asked him

"The lockdown will begin in three to four hours. Non-students need to be driven out from here. " He said and we went out of his office

I fixed my eyeglasses and continued to send the lockdown sequence to the whole place.

"What's happening?" Ethan asked after approaching it because Jaxith suddenly closed the shop and dismissed the people here saying that there was an emergency lockdown all over the place.

"STUDENTS OF RFA!" he said and went in with the door while facing us

There are only four of us left excluding Jaxith. Me, Ethan, and two girls.

"Divide the stocks fairly among the five of us." He ordered so we did

Those with us seem to be confused by what is happening. We locked the nonessential foods like the ones on the menu. We took only the foods that could be spoiled and put them all in the stock room.

Jaxith put something like a box on the door and then he pressed something.

"Hackable," I said and plugged my iPad into the box.

I placed the glitched lock system that puts a glitch virus on any device that tries to hack it.

It is glitched because it is just a prototype and we can't control it yet.

"Now go home. Don't go out and participate, please. " Jaxith said and the two left after we left the shop

"How are you?" I asked him

"We have a room at the Hotel." He said and that reminded me

"Right, the hotel. What about those who checked in there? " I asked him

"The civilians will be forcefully evacuated while the entire area is locked down. Don't worry top-notch armies will be placed at every border so no one can get out. We also put up barricades, to be sure. " He said and left

We went to our apartment and saw that Jess and Caspian were already there.

"What's happening?" the men asked us

"Hunger games," Irene, who had just arrived, answered.

"Hunger games?" Elijah asked confusedly and I shook my head then Lavalee and Jace arrived

"We have an hour to go. Take everything essential we have." She said

"EVERYTHING, and be here within twenty-five minutes, go. " Lavalee emphasized and we began moving to our respective rooms

We don't usually take things out of our suitcases or bags so we don't have a problem. Only four of us women worked together to prepare the meals.

We placed all the food and everything we needed to survive inside the huge bags that Lavalee gave us.

When her phone rang meaning that the time is up, we went out and placed everything in a van that Lavalee and Jace borrowed.

Lavalee drove while we explained what was happening.

"Here, hurry up," Lavalee said when we got to the place

It is a two-story building.

There is no other furniture but there are computers so I already know why.

Lavalee and I secured the security system and the rest made sure there would be no other entrance or exit apart from the one in the front.

Suddenly a notification came on the metal bracelet so I opened that.

Good day, Students of RFA.

A game called 'GAME OF SURVIVAL' will commence within 30 minutes.

The fireworks in the sky will signal the beginning of the game. Anything you want |will be allowed as long as it is within the barricades.

It will be registered as your grade according to your performance.

EVERYONE will join.

Even the student council will and there are no exemptions.

ENJOY!|
