Everything is settled for the last two missions. However, due to Chairman De Dios' command, Julian must sabotage the last two missions.
"Stell may have a wide vocal range, but it is disadvantageous in note accuracy. He is having hard time to pinpoint the correct note he wanted to produce because his vocal range is too wide."
"Josh has excellent memory, he can't express the notes the way his mind remembered. Thus, he is only focusing on rapping, not with vocal flexibility."
"Ken maybe a dancing machine, but he is extremely shy in dancing to unfamiliar crowds. He is only confident if the audiences are faces of ALAB University."
With these notes from Chairman De Dios, Julian entirely fooled the three elites with his schemes.
Julian intentionally wasted time to make the elites fail the mission. However, he couldn't be too obvious on sabotaging the elites' mission, so he still went to the SB Mall and pretended to help them.
In Julian's eyes, this is a mere game to him. But he couldn't afford not to show off his skills to the elites. Being the second elite, he wanted to prove that he is way better than John Paulo. He even beat his brother, Justin, so how can he not beat Paulo?
He immediately commanded the elites about the last two missions, and it pleases him how the three follows his command like dogs.
"This is really fun. Dad is right. Investing emotions to these worthless people is a big waste of time. What was I thinking back then?" Julian thought in annoyance.
However, Julian is also deluded by the fear of disappointing his father.
"Julian, you can never let Dad be mad at you again."
"Julian, Dad is scary when he is mad."
"Daddy should not get disappointed."
"I don't want to go back to that life."
With these terrifying thoughts, Julian is being eaten by his anxiety. He is becoming mad and obsessed to pleasing his father.
Thus, stimulating the chaos.
The four elites are now standing in front of Prof. Rabedee's office. However, none of them doesn't want to lead the way inside.
"We failed. I can't believe we failed the mission," Ken said with utmost sorrow.
The three elites were deep in thought thinking about how they can deal with Prof. Rabedee's punishment.
But at the back of Julian's mind, he is too eager to finish this task to earn his father's praises again.
"My plan utterly failed. I thought it was for the best...I'm sorry," Julian said to the three with pretension. The three elites shook their heads to disagree.
"Paulo is to blame for what happened today. He left us unnoticed and made these things out of hand!" Josh said and gritted his teeth in anger.
"In fact, we should be thanking you because you chased after us and immediately made a way. I can't believe how much you've grown Justin. You can actually lead us even though we're older than you,"Stell said and pat Julian's shoulder.
Julian could only stare at Stell's hand. Only now did he notice that Stell had a large scar on the back of her palm.
"What happened to your hand?"Julian couldn't help but ask. Being curious is natural to him, so he criticizes even small things.
"Huh? You don't remember? Weh?"Stell said in surprise.
Julian was slightly surprised by Stell's words because she said something that he should have known since he was pretending to be Justin.
"Justin, you're upset, right? Do you know that the reason for this scar is the reason why you can still see now?"Stell said and raised her palm.
"This was spilled with acid when we were doing an experiment in our first year. You were reaching for your pencil under the table and you hit it under the table. You're so clumsy,"Ken said.
"Well, the table crashed and spilled the acid that was on the table. You should have been hit in the eye because you looked up. But Stell blocked the acid so it didn't spill on you,"Josh added.
"S-stell saved Justin?" Julian thought in awe.
He is starting to think about regrets of betraying them, especially that the elites knew him as Justin. But his regrets are futile as the chaos has already began.
As soon as the four entered Prof. Rabedee's room, they were welcomed by the men in suit.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Josh said as he was apprehended by the guards inside Prof. Rabedee's office.
Stell started to shake in fear. He sensed that Prof. Rabedee's counseling is a really bad one.
"P-prof. Rabedee, I thought we were just having a talk?" Stell asked, hoping that his thoughts were wrong.
"Ajero, you surely must have heard how my counseling goes. However, this time, your counseling method was decided by Justin's father," Prof. Rabedee said.
"It's such a pity that you failed your mission at the most unexpected time. You are surely blaming Nase with what happened with you today. But in reality, you should be blaming Justin," Prof. Rabedee continued and glanced at Julian.
"Justin has nothing to do with the mission's failure, Prof. It's Paulo's fault!" Josh firmly said.
"Oh my bad, you haven't told them yet, Justin..." Prof. Rabedee asked mockingly.
"...Or should I call you, Julian?" Prof. Rabedee continued that immediately planted fear in Julian's mind.
"Why is he spilling everything?! I thought he was supposed to be on my father's side!" Julian thought frustratingly.
"The chairman already told me that the moment you bring them here is the end of your mission, Julian. Thus, you don't have to pretend anymore. You have already prove your worth in the chairman's eyes," Prof. Rabedee said.
"Wait, wait a minute! I don't understand anything. Justin, what is he saying?"Josh said annoyed.
Before Julian could utter a thing the three elites were injected a tranquilizer liquid and eventually made them fall unconscious.
Julian is the only one remaining awake.. He shot a deadly look at Prof. Rabedee for spilling his secrets.
"Don't be so mad, Julian. Your father commanded me to do these things," Prof. Rabedee said.
"Why would he tell you that?" Julian asked.
"Because the end is near. You have already did a great job, Julian. But now, it's time for you to do your one last ultimate job..." Prof Rabedee said.
"...And that is...to torture John Paulo Nase." Prof. Rabedee said with a devilish grin.
