After Reincarnating, My System Quit!

Chapter 55  James You BBQ Bastard! by Harem-Fan

     BBQ House is one of the most popular restaurants for the University, the students, and the teachers, why?

     It is a nationwide restaurant chain started by an unknown Long family member about 5 years ago, and has franchisees in all four Eurasia States, and it even has restaurants in North and South America.

     But the BBQ House we will go to is across directly from the front main gates of Star University and was the very first Flagship Restaurant.

     Think of BBQ your first thought would be a 'cheap and average family restaurant', but you would be horribly wrong. This restaurant borders on high-class in quality, service, and looks.

     What to expect from every store is Hot-Servers with high requirements for charm and appearance. A Full-Bar that a well known club would provide. And a vast variety of dishes that don't even have anything to do with BBQ.

     The concept of the BBQ with the food is any dish that can be grilled on the barbecue-grill. Yes this is its main requirement for food is the use of gas-grills.

     What keeps most from eating here everyday is the wait, price, and large crowds. So unless you know someone that manages the restaurant or makes reservations in advance you will wait about an hour just to get a table during lunch and dinner.

     Phew, That was a lot to unpack. I personally have never eaten there, but James has twice.

-

     I was brought out of my thoughts because the quiz was easy and I finished early. But it seems everyone is done and what I heard next made me want to kill James!

     "Sure Cat, we would love for you to join us at the BBQ House for lunch!"

     "Thanks Jim, you're so cute. I have only been there a few times, but the food is delicious."

     Linda and I heard this and seemed surprised that Cat Woo invited herself by using charms on James, who to be fair only thinks with his dick... Like a lot of men.

     As we all stood up for our next classes, a pair of students overheard us talking about lunch and the one who asked Linda was Scott.

     "Linda, are you eating lunch with Rick, James, and Cat? And you're eating at the BBQ House?"

     "And who told you we were going, you creepy stalker?"

     I noticed Scott's eyes for a moment darted to Cat who must have texted him to make me irritated. Okay, Cat Woo is sneaky and seems to only play small tricks. Not enough to get pissed, but annoyed for sure.

     "Rick, you're not eating lunch with me, Jenifer, and Jill?"

     I point at my trouble-making friend and tell Tina.

     "This was guys' week with me and Jim here. And Jim then invited Linda to come with, then Woo invited herself, sigh."

     Cat not only did not deny my accusation but she only smiled proudly. She is at least honest.

     Tina grabbed James' collar and said seriously.

     "Then invite me along James. I want to eat at the BBQ House with you guys."

     James feeling that creepy vibe up his spine, realized inviting the girls was now bad. He nervously told her.

     "Tina Feng, I-I am sorry, b-but my table is a 4-top only and we have four people..."

     Scott, seeing an opportunity, says.

     "Well I can get a 4-top as well and Linda can sit with me, and you can take Tina."

     Linda makes her stand.

     "No, I was invited by James and Rick, so I will eat with them."

     Tina looks at Cat and says.

     "Eat with Scott and give me your spot, Cat. plus you hate Rick."

     Tina went nuclear and straight up played the Woo Card! Why do I feel my life is a drama?

     "No, we are desk-mates and I need to get to know them better and make friends. I am new to the city after-all, and you and my desk-mates have no real connections, so no I won't give my seat away."

     Linda scrunches her eyebrows and asks me.

     "Cat Woo hates you?"

     "Her personally, no, but her husband does."

     Cat Woo hearing that says to me.

     "My Steve hardly knows you, so why would he hate you?"

     I look at her, and maybe she does not know so I tell her.

     "Because the Head of the Feng had to threaten his life for obsessing over my pregnant wife. Or do you seriously not know that?"

     Cat actually looks surprised about that and Tina adds.

     "That is right, my father personally heard that trash talking about it, so my father threatened to kill him if a hair is out of place on Mary Lee, get it now Woo trash."

     Cat, seeing everyone but her seems to know about this Mary woman frowns, but her mental willpower lets her calculate and say to us.

     "Well, to be fair, I was up north and had no idea, but I personally don't hate Rick Lee, so I will still eat and be friends with him. I will confront my husband later."

     Translation: I don't care, so I unfortunately have to support my lecherous husband.

     Plus Cat Woo is not the good kind of villainous-noble-girl like my twins but a real viper. Tina warned me about her already.

     A sexy voice was heard over our shoulders as Victoria Long said to us.

     "Did you all have business questions to gather and potentially be late for your next classes?"

     I look over and see Victoria holding her briefcase wearing an off-white business-suit, and Ashley is standing to her side. Scott sneered at his Long rivals and said.

     "Rick Lee is causing issues by trying to invite everyone to go and eat at the BBQ House. He is trying to pick up married and taken girls, what trash."

     Normally I would be pissed at Scott's provocations, but sadly, there is truth to some of that. So I point to my best friend and sell him out.

     "James caused all of it! He only got a 4-top and started inviting, and here we are. Scott just hates me so ignore him."

     Victoria scanned the crowd and considered every possible outcome of her students fighting, and also the political house issues, and smiled lightly then said something that even shut up Scott.

     "Then as your teacher, let me offer for all of us to just eat lunch together as a class. I know the floor manager and will get us a 20-top table. You can invite your spouse or siblings if they attend the University. Just go there and ask for Victoria Long as the reservation. I will see all of you then, goodbye."

     And the group of us separated to let this genius woman pass us. She really defused that quickly in a brief second, I felt her eyes on me, but then she walked out with her niece in tow. If she was not a Long, I would do everything in my power to get close to her. 

     I feel like she is a bug-zapper, and I am a starving moth...

     "Rick, I will see you at the restaurant with my sister later, bye handsome~!"

     Tina walked by me while running her nails across my chest and winking at Linda... Okay that was kinda hot! Well even I know I am just average looking, but to her I am handsome.

     Linda's eyes followed the swaying seductress with her grey-eyes and said to me.

     "She is only using you to make everyone jealous, don't fall for her tricks, Rick. She is like a black-widow-spider and would eat you."

     Too late I am laying in her web already, and the worst part, I jumped on it willingly. Scott said to Linda.

     "Good, I will see you there Linda, now everything is fine. Goodbye... if only one person does not show it would be perfect."

     Not letting that easy win go I said to him as he passed...

     "Then we will pray you don't show."

     With class he only shot me the middle-finger without turning back. I see he is learning.

     Thud! I punched James in the shoulder just hard enough to make him drop his book and said as I left.

     "This is all your fault bastard, hurry to class."

     James with a bright smile of having lunch with so many hot women grabbed his book and ran to catch up.

-

     Late for class, I and the slightly out of breath Nadia sitting on the desk with her legs around my hips, with me still in her, asked me.

     "Good boy Ricky, I am now happy, fufu. Oh and Scott said we are all going to the BBQ House for a big lunch, is that right?"

     "Sigh, Yeah, it was a big fucking deal in business class and Victoria Long made it a group activity to defuse James's stupidity."

     Nadia with her villainous smile nodded to my words and pulled out a really nice handkerchief and then wiped our connection and put it in a baggie. She then said.

     "Never know when this will 'cum' in handy, fufu!"

     I pulled out and cleaned us up and said to her naughty smiling face.

     "You really are evil Nadia, and I can not wait for the day I can tell him all of this."

     Nadia putting all her clothes on told me.

     "Lucky for you, you tamed us or we sisters would be very bad to my Ricky. You have chosen wisely."

     My face twitched and I asked what I should not...

     "The last year of high-school, did you or Nichole do anything like this to me?"

     Nadia got in my face with a wicked smile and admitted...

     "We did two naughty things to you Ricky. The first was, before you drank your school-milk while you were distracted by Nichole, I licked the straw you were going to use, and everyone but you saw it, fufu. The second thing was I took Nicky's worn black-panties and put it in your desk, and we told the teachers you stole it from our gym locker, but that's it."

     I facepalm at Nadia still with a very happy smile and no remorse on her face and said.

     "Damn I remembered everyone laughing at me for drinking my milk that day. And damn it I got three days of suspension for those panties! I never even knew who they belonged to, sigh."

     She packed her things and readied to leave the class and said something I did not know.

     "No Ricky, the first video chat we did, remember the black sister wore and I was in red? Those black-panties were the same pair you held, Ufufu, so she wore them for you that night, representing revenge."

     She kissed, then waved at me and went to class. I decided to just skip so James does not get suspicious. I texted him I had an upset stomach and would meet him in the SUV.

-

     After I took a shower in the gym, I relaxed in the hummer while I worked with my laptop hijacking good service from the school.

     I listened to highlights from the weekend and recent events.

     The first bit of summarized information has to do with Saturdays and last night's Scott issues...

     Scott, just ignored his fathers warnings and will not let me go. He and his mother are up to their old tricks of hiring a big-time private investigation firm to dig up anything on me. This strategy has worked in the past. Naturally I already know of Alex and Scott.

     So I look around and in the distance just out of the normal area of students, I do see a man in a car across the street of the school and he is using a long-ranged camera on me. Okay lets play guys...

     I immediately bring up the company's information, and list of employees, and building schematics. Soon I have hacked into every part of their business from the actual business-office, all of their personal computers, and phones.

     I first copy and save all of their history on a remote server and then crash all of their devices, then I set off the sprinkler-system ruining all of their computers and paper files. The only person I did not mess with yet was the person in the car.

     The person in the car received a text on his phone that reads...

     [Have a nice day!]

     Then his phone was infected with a nasty virus and he no longer can use it. Due to his car being a brand new model, I activated his airbags and set off his car alarm remotely from the dealership.

     I think his camera got smashed into his face with the airbag!

     After wasting ten minutes on the private investigators, I then looked at what else Debby Tang is doing...

     Seems she as of this morning has offered bribes to my University teachers, and 3 Kung-Fu coaches took it with the others rejecting, and my computer teacher also took it. Their instructions are to pass me with the lowest scores. She has done this to me since middle-school.

     So I collected all of this information and sent it to all of the university higher-ups, and made sure they all know it is Debby Tang bribing teachers and publicly putting this on the school forums for all students to see.

     This fucks Scott and Helen Tang as well. Sorry Head uncle Anthony, but you can only blame Debby for this one.

     Then before classes let out, I turn to the next topic...

     My face twitched as I listened to Alex and Ana in the limo from Alex's phone.

     Wow this Ana Zi is a real piece of work, talking about seducing me while in Alex's arms?! Tina is right, you should not know about the personalities of actresses and singers, you get disappointed. Well she is on the no never in hell list. I would have been tricked by this woman if I didn't hear this.

     I sigh and do not mess with them due to them not really doing anything bad, but I just put my computer away for now do to the classes. I mutter. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!

     "Sadly my favorite Kate Kong is probably just like Ana Zi. No matter, I only love her acting and singing anyway even if she is not as kind as she portrays."

-

     Knock Knock! Hearing the passenger door being knocked I see the grey-eyes of Linda looking in the hummer, and I unlock the door.

     She silently got in and shut the door and straightened her dress. Then she looked at me and asked.

     "Rick, am I a bother?"

     Wow she is blunt as hell, but...

     "No, but trouble always finds me with the nobles around me, but you personally are fine."

     For a while she said nothing and watched me, then she asked.

     "I and even Mercy noticed, you look at us differently now. You seem not angry at me now?"

     Looking at the private investigator getting his car towed by his dealership, I smile a bit. Then I say.

     "Some more of my memories came back... And I was not even aware you were missing from school or why. But I know now."

     Linda had been told by Mary so she is not surprised, only that I knew now.

     "I am so-"

     My hand covered her mouth and I said to her.

     "My parents death is not your fault one bit. They would have saved you anyway. The only thing you did wrong was blame yourself. Just forget the past. I do not blame you or even my parents. I was just weak back then and blamed the world. You had it hard so don't be sad anymore. If you need to hear the words then..."

     I remove my hand and smile.

     "My family and I forgive you. So just live a happy life, don't let their deaths be for nothing."

     No, I did not need to forgive her for anything, but I looked online and found victimized survivors need to be forgiven even if they did nothing. So I just said those words to help her guilt. Then I handed her some pocket tissue for her tears.

     Linda wiped her eyes and then nodded to me, unable to say her words but I knew what she wanted to say. She tried to smile and only made a creepy grin with her lips curled, uh yeah I can not tell her that, she's trying.

     Then my son of a bitch friend seeing Linda in his spot just hopped in the back and saw her wiping her eyes. James the dick face said.

     "Rick brother, are you making poor Linda cry? Did you reject her or something?"

     Linda blushed a bit hearing James and I ignored him. I then buckled up and said.

     "Next stop the BBQ House, sigh!"
