Pantheon thought for a moment and called Mortimer Quincy directly. When the call went through, he quickly explained, "Boss Quincy, let me explain. My relationship with your girl is completely innocent. I just wanted to ask where you were. We want to copy your homework, for real. I swear to God."
Mortimer Quincy said with disgust, "No need to swear. She's out of your league."
Pantheon: "...??!!"
'Son of a bitch.'
Just as he was about to declare their friendship over, Mortimer Quincy spoke again from the other end of the line. "Come get it at the second bubble tea shop from the school gate."
"You got it, Boss Quincy." A grin immediately spread across Pantheon's face.
At the bubble tea shop.
When Pantheon and Zeke Zane saw Mortimer Quincy and Holly Winslow casually sipping bubble tea and eating grilled skewers, they felt like a stampede of ten thousand horses was thundering through their minds.
'Envy.'
'Jealousy.'
'Hate.'
