Though the Devikings were socialising, they didn't forget to be vigilant. They were so at alert looking for anything suspicious but everything seems normal. This normality is what is making the them uncomfortable because it has never happened that they were in same room with Vin and he wouldn't pick on them.
Vin on the other hand was so peaceful. He really has a big plan. He didn't even allow anyone to do things for him as usual. He made sure everything he did was by himself and this gave him so much confidence that it is going to work out.
There was so much excitement in him being that he knew they wouldn't escape his plans this time. He couldn't help but imagine how they will be suprised when their secret will be expose to all the nation. He even told his guys to invite more reporters to come to the show. He was ready to end the Devikings.
Someone walked to Vin.
"You've really changed" he said.
Vin was cut out of his happy daydreaming. He looked at the guy and smiled.
"I don't get you" he said.
"I mean you are in the same room with the Devikings and you two are being calm" he said like he was reminding him.
" Well I've decided to let them be. Their lives is none of my business" he said with a smile.
The man looked at him suspiciously. He didn't believe a word he said but what could he say or do.
Vin wasn't ready to say more so he walked away from the guy.
After the main program and everyone was merrying, Vin went on the top stage and grabbed the microphone claiming he has something to say.
Everyone looked at him. Paul was suprised and scared at the same time. The guy was so mysterious and no one could know what he is intending to do.
Everyone knew he wasn't someone who love to be so much acquainted with others. So him wanting to say something at Paul's party was surprisingly. Despite that, everyone were eager to hear what he's got to say.
Paul looked at his friend who was right beside him to know if he has any clue of what the boy wants to do but his friend just shrugs ignorantly.
Vin cleared his throat and flashed his white teeth.
"Well I don't have much to say. I just want Paul to know that I'm so happy and glad that I attended this show. He is such a great friend even though he is older. A very talented writer...."
There was murmur in the house. Even Paul looked puzzled at his praises. They didn't know he has the ability to praise anyone.
Vin, as young as he is, is such a mighty critic. He is someone that cannot be avoided and move too close to.
"I've known Paul for a long time but I didn't know he could write such a great and powerful book" he said
He was looking at Paul with so much awe in his eyes.
"Although his past books are really good but trust me when I say this...." He raised the book he held. " ...... is a blockbuster. I'm really impressed" he said.
Everyone couldn't help but to clap and cheer at his words. Paul couldn't help but to be moved by the compliment from a high and mighty critic.
"What a show off" Maureen snorted.
"He's only trying to steal the show so that his plans could be well broadcasted" Kim whispered to Maureen and she nods.
" Trust me friend, today is going to be a day to remember forever. You will be an history breaker. You will remember it for life. You will be an history breaker" he said brightly.
Paul felt that his words were over exaggerated for just a book. It's not as if he saved the nation but who wouldn't love to be praised.
The Devikings clearly understood the meaning of his words. They knew he was referring to them and himband not Paul. They knew now is the time for the show. They stylishly checked themselves if they are intact.
"Well" Vin continued with a smile when the applause died down.
He looked at the Devikings to see if they are getting his gist. He wasn't happy when he saw that they were just looking as if none of his words concern them.
At first he wanted to get angry but later he then thought that it was fine if they are not getting it so that they won't sneak away. He already positioned his men at strategic places so they would alert him when any Devikings wants to leave the building. As if he could stop them from leaving.
"I have a little gift for you Paul. Although it wasn't suppose to be for you but for my friend who has a party next weekend, but I'm too impressed to not give you this gift" he said looking at Paul with so much love as if he was given a bride.
Paul was so surprised. Everyone was silent at his announcement.
"Wow! I didn't know you were that impressed" Paul said with a happy expression.
" I am Paul" he said getting down to hug him. " You know who I am. I don't know how to hide my feelings" he said grinning.
