Somehow, the news of how Chen escaped from the hands of the Elite Council, found it's way around the campus. Students could be seen in groups analyzing what might've gone wrong, and what might come next.
While some of them were happy that someone finally stood up to the secret society, a greater percentage of them were still envious that it was Chen. It was quite unusual for a student to become that popular in a short amount of time.
"I hate that lad with passion. Why must it always be him? What does he have I don't have?" A student called Vin, said scornfully.
His rantings were just too much to ignore. So, Dominic gave him a befitting reply.
"It's always him because he's got aura, athletic, fit, and most especially, intelligent. You, Vin, is so dull that a pig can't survive with you brain," Dominic said loudly, and everyone in the dining burst out laughing.
Vin who couldn't contain the shame, walked out of the dining hall in embarrassment.
"Next time, he'd learn to keep his slow thoughts to himself," another student added.

It was the duty of the students to tidy up the staff room.
Some of the students who were assigned to clean up Prof Xue's office, were ignorant of the fact that he was inside his inner chamber. They slowly began talking about Chen and The Elite Council, and through that Prof Xue, got a foresight of what was happening.
Patiently, he waited for the students to finish up their task, before sending a student to call Chen urgently.
Within minutes, he was already standing in front of him. Visible beads of sweats could be seen on his face.
"Chen, sit down. It's urgent!" Prof Xue, heaved a deep sigh.
It was Chen's first time of seeing the Professor in that state, so he worried about what could be amiss.
"Thank you, sir. Please, you sent for me..."
There was silence amongst them for some seconds, before The Prof, finally broke the silence.
"The Elite Council...!"
Those three words Professor Xue pronounced, sent unexpected shivers down Chen's spine. He was worried.
"Ummm... Ummm... What about them, sir?" He asked amidst stutter.
Again, another round of silence enveloped them.
"They're extremely dangerous, Chen. How did you get entangled with them?"
"I... I... I can't even explain..."
"Great. Now is not the right time to explain," Prof Xue stood up quickly, and headed towards his drawer.
As expected, there were series of uncountable books neatly parked all over the rows. The silence around the whole room sounded like terror to Chen.
The air conditioner was almost at its highest. The same thing with the fan. Yet, he was sweating like a cooked soup.
He kept glancing around the room with sighs escaping from his lips. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Prof Xue picked up a pack of documents. Its enclosure resembled a parcel.
Chen looked at him with over a million questions buried in his eyes.
"Open it!"
At his commanded, with shaky hands, Chen set to tear the parcel apart. And in few seconds, the contents laid bare in his eyes. They were mostly some unclear pictures that were hard to understand at first glance.
"Do you know what this is?" Prof Xue's thick voice thundered with authority.
Chen just stood there, deeply perplexed.
"No," he responded, frightened.
The Prof smiled slightly. It wasn't a cool one. No. Instead, this one was laced with mystery.
"These are the pictures of the students who fell out with The Elite Council, and suddenly disappeared till this day. No one knows their fate."
Chen froze in fear.
"In this school?"
"Fortunately, they'll disappeared at their respective homes. The same pattern of disappearance."
The next few minutes were long and reflective for Chen. He knew that his life depended on whatever decision he could come up with.
"What do I do now, sir?" his voice cracked. At this time, words failed him.
"I'll save you..." Prof Xue announced, and Chen's eyes lit up with hope.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you..."
"But at one cost," The Prof announced again, and the smile disappeared on his face.
The stakes at hand, meant this deal wasn't going to be balanced. He feared that the odds might quickly turn against him, if he didn't play his cards well.
"What, sir?"
"Good. You'll suck my cock whenever I want, and your ass will be ready whenever I want. In exchange, I'll give you security," Prof Xue smiled evilly.
His words were just too absurd. His terms sounded nothing short of perverted. His conditions were screaming utter 'egocentric.'
Obviously, he wanted him to himself, alone. But you know, a slut isn't built for one cock. A slut is for an entire community. That is where the spice lies.
"But, sir..."
"And finally, no one else will be allowed to fuck you," this was the worst of them all.
Chen took some time to process what he had just heard, but was still careful to avoid sounding off. With the way the professor kept staring at him and licking his lips, Chen figured out what was happening.
Prof Xue, was obsessed with him. And unfortunately, he couldn't take such risk. He couldn't be in that union where his voice would be almost silenced.
"Ummm... I'm... I'm not sure... I'll think about it, sir." Chen finally responded.
He knew one thing: He couldn't outrightly turn down Prof Xue's proposition. It'd be insane for the man to turn his back on his.
In spite of all this happenings, Prof Xue, still had an evil grin on his face. He looked almost not bothered.
"That boy... Derrick, cannot save you. No one can. Look at this photo," Prof Xue, pointed at a picture under the document. It looked familiar, but he was still lost.
"Who's it, sir?"
"Your Derrick. Hehehe!"
"Derrick?"
He asked in shock.
"Of course! He was once an executive member of The Council, until he escaped." The professor announced, and he froze.
"Derrick? Elite Council? How?"
