"Hey!! Wake up."
Liam nudged the black-haired one first; after a few gentle nudges, with messy hair all over her face, Megan woke up. She used her other hand to remove the hair from her face, then looked at Liam.
Liam just stared at her with a deadpan, What the fuck? expression and slowly pulled up his left hand, which was still tangled with Megan’s right hand; her whole face flushed red, and she awkwardly removed her hands from his.
"Care to explain?"
Liam cracked his sore neck and gestured for a bottle of water to the flight attendant. Megan opened her mouth several times, but she was speechless; she didn’t know where to start and how to explain.
"Let me guess, it’s those two clowns?"
Seeing she was trying her hardest to talk but couldn’t utter a word, Liam opened his mouth first, and seeing her nodding strongly, he gently nodded his head in understanding.
"Oi, Clara, it’s time for you to wake up."
He nudged Clara next; she woke up and stretched her hands up with a deep yawn. Megan saw that Clara panicked a little; Clara was the opposite of her; she was an extrovert and said whatever came to her mind immediately.
"HEY!!"
A scream followed after she was done yawning; she almost got up from her seat, but Liam held her hands tight. Clara looked at him angrily; Liam just smiled and gestured for her to calm down.
"She needs our help; those clowns harassed her, and we should help her."
"Why?!!"
"Because we three are from Los Angeles and it’s a human thing to do. Plus, she and I will be in the same college, so why not help each other out, and she can be your friend as well?"
"Hmmph! I don’t need a friend."
Clara pouted and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Liam smiled seeing her like this; she was clearly not that angry, but for some reason she was pretending to be. Liam could tell by her body language.
"You’re going to Princeton as well?!!"
Megan’s eyes sparkled with surprise; she didn’t know Liam would be her classmate. She took a deep breath of relief; she can now certainly take help from him.
"Yes, Economics Department."
"What a coincidence; I am as well."
Liam narrowed his eyes; he didn’t remember seeing Megan in his last life, then suddenly he remembered something, and his eyes went wide with shock. He looked at her mole on the side of her lips and understood everything.
She was wearing a loose-fitting dress that made her hard to recognize, and she also had no makeup on. He had seen her in many things in her last life: billboards, TV, movies, and even live concerts. She was the fucking Megan Vox, a superstar who attended the same college as him.
Well, she barely took classes after the first semester; no wonder I didn’t realize who she was.
Liam had so many questions in his mind; he didn’t understand what happened that changed his whole boring flight experience to this. He gets to meet a future superstar, then two creeps and all this drama so far.
Status Panel
Liam didn’t dwell on the situation; he never met her in person, and she was way older than she currently was when she became popular. He started to plan how to teach those bastards a lesson before learning about his enemies; he wanted to refresh his mind with his own information.

So, doing missions is leveling me up? Last time I had 12 exp, now 99, so I am almost becoming level 1?.
"Tell me what you saw that made you come and sit here."
Liam asked with a smile on his face. Megan looked like she was waiting for him to ask this question, so she explained how she saw them talking about a gangster who could possibly be from Liam’s rival gang and who will bring a gun.
Clara, this time, also listened carefully. Hearing about the gun, she gripped Liam’s hand tight; her face, although it looked fine, had nervous eyes.
"Rival gang? Ahahaha, there’s no such thing as a rival gang. I am actually not part of the Danuvan gang at all. Sigh! I made it up that I am part of them, I heard this this dangerous gang’s name from a senior alumni who lives in our neighborhood, and there’s no one that can rival them."
Liam laughed a little; he knows as a regressor there is no such thing as another gang in the whole of Princeton. He even knows that a billionaire ran the Danuvan Gang to control the business in all of Princeton; he knows it all.
"Ah?" x2
"Yep. ’Ah’ is the correct response, those clowns. I’ll teach them a lesson. Wait. "
{Please remain seated; we’re going to land in about 2 minutes. Fasten your seat belts.}
...
It was almost evening when Liam walked out of the airport with a frustrated face. Clara and Megan, who were beside him, also looked somewhat tired; they spent almost an hour searching for those creeps, but after the final security check, they were never seen again.
"Now?"
"Well, now we forget about them and eat something. I am hungry; I slept almost the whole flight."
"Me too." x2
Liam shook his head; it was a side mission anyway, so he was not going to let that ruin his whole day. It was his first day of college, one of the best days of his life, so he wanted to enjoy it as much as possible.
"Let’s eat something from New York, and then we three can go together to Princeton. Thereafter, I’ll call an Uber for you, Clara, to go to Rider. We both have admission tomorrow, so I can’t accompany you after Princeton."
Liam said with a smile, They landed in Queens, New York. Princeton is still one and a half hours away, so they can travel together till that point; after that, they have to go their own way.
"Ah? But my admission is a week away, though."
"Ha? Then why did you come today with me?"
"Because I love you so much; let’s start dating already."
"You guys are not dating?!"
