Franco froze halfway, his finger hovering on the trigger. Slowly, he raised his hands into the air.Caleb’s heartbeat thudded louder as his eyes darted past Franco.Uniforms. Guns. The police.The officers rushed in. One of them snatched the pistol from Franco’s hand while another twisted his arms behind him. But just as Caleb took a shaky breath of relief, the senior officer strode toward him, lifting his weapon with calm precision.“Mr. Caleb Stone,” he said, voice clipped and cold. “You’re under arrest for attempted murder. You’ll also be facing charges of fraud and theft. Anything you say or do from now on will be used against you in the court of law.”The color drained from Caleb’s face. His breath hitched, but the fury inside him boiled hotter than before. He struggled to his feet, trembling, fists clenched.“You can’t do this!” he barked. “You saw what happened! He pointed a gun at me. You were here! If anyone belongs in jail, it’s Franco. Not me!”Muna stepped off the stage, w

Franco's eyes stayed locked on Caleb's hand, reading every twitch, every minor flex of his fingers. His breaths were shallow, sharp. The moment Caleb began to squeeze the trigger, Franco threw his weight to the side, rolling across the floor just as the gun fired—a deafening bang that echoed like thunder in the hall.The bullet slammed into the stage floor, tearing a sharp splinter from the wood.From the crowd, a piercing scream shattered the air.“Franco!” Muna cried, her voice cracking with fear.Caleb’s eyes darted up, instinctively following the sound. His gaze collided with Muna’s. For a second, silence hovered—thick, tense.Muna bolted forward, desperate to reach the stage, but Granny snatched her wrist, holding her back with trembling strength.“Don’t,” Granny whispered, her voice brittle with panic.Franco groaned, still reeling from his dodge, trying to push himself up, his muscles shaking from pain and fatigue. But Caleb moved swiftly, stalking toward him like a wolf closin

Isaac stared at Caleb with a gaze full of disappointment and anger. Watching him kneel before him felt nothing short of disgraceful.Everyone else gave Caleb a pitiful glare—everyone except his mother, who stood silently, tears streaming down her cheeks.At that moment, Caleb didn’t know what to do or how to act. Aside from being an assistant at the Lioness’ Den, he still longed for a well-paying job—something that could help restore his image, especially now that all his properties had been taken from him.That was why he had run to Isaac, begging to be given another chance to reclaim the post. But this time, Isaac’s response was firm and cutting.“You had your chance, Caleb!” Isaac snapped. “I wanted to bring you onto my board at no cost. I even offered to help you pay for some stocks and dentures while you earned five percent of the company’s profit. And what did you do? You rejected my offer and went ahead to commit the most immoral act!”Caleb froze. Slowly, he got to his feet, e

Caleb took a shaky step back, as his eyes went through the documents in his hands.He couldn't hold his breath. Everything Muna said was true. The document shows that he had transferred all of his properties to Muna. Everything he owns now belongs to Muna.With a stiff enraged face, Caleb muttered. “How is this possible, Muna? How on earth did you…”“Are you surprised by my amazing skills, Caleb?” Muna inquired, her words slicing through his heart. “You think you are smart, Caleb. But I am way smarter than you!”She added as she took a flashback of what happened yesterday before she signed the documents.Having connected the dots that Mr Earnshaw might be the person who would help Caleb out in taking her property, Muna decided to find out the truth herself. So, she tailed him. She followed him right from his house until he met up with Caleb.With her intellect, she hid behind a mask and also took a seat beside them. Though it was VIP.She was unable to hear everything that they said b

Granny’s jaw dropped, her eyes locked on Caleb like she had just witnessed a ghost step out of his skin. The color drained from her face, and her cane trembled in her grip. Her lips curled into a bitter scowl as fury brewed behind her wrinkled eyes. Her chest rose and fell rapidly—one look at her, and it was clear: if hatred could manifest as fire, Caleb would be ash by now.She clutched the edge of the table beside her, knuckles whitening. “That boy…” she whispered, her voice raw and shaking. “If I could strangle him with my bare hands, I swear to God—”Meanwhile, Mrs. Nathan stood frozen, blinking as if trying to confirm she wasn’t dreaming. Then her face lit up like a thousand suns. Her hands flew to her mouth, barely stifling a gasp of joy.“Oh my goodness!” she breathed, trembling with disbelief. “He wasn’t lying… Caleb wasn’t lying!”She took a staggering step forward, then burst into a giddy dance, clapping her hands as her laughter filled the stunned hall. “He owns Scott Empir

"Why aren't they moving? Why are they standing like they are frozen?”“What's going on with them?”“Why are they like that?” The banquet was echoing with so many side talks. Mrs Nathan's eyes has been widened for minutes now. She was highly surprised to see this. Like the men standing like statues, not making any movements. At that same time, she was lost in the thoughts if Franco was behind it all.Isaac smiled at Franco, as if he knew Franco from anywhere but Franco doesn't know him and doesn't care as well.He matched forward to Granny whose heart was in her hands, panting like she had seen a ghost.“I am not responsible for whatever is going in your mind, Granny. Even though Muna and I are no longer together, it still doesn't stop me from attending her party. Besides, today is such a beautiful day, let's don't ruin it for ourselves!”He wanted to walk out on Granny but she held his clothes. “And what about these men? Who did this to them? You can't tell me that you don't know ho

Immediately after Alice's statement, Karen slapped Chris instantly, widening her eyes and pointing her fingers at him“I've always known that you were stupid bit stealing your ex-wife's necklace? I never expected that from you!” She said , her tone rising in anger.“I didn't steal that necklace!” Chris defended himself but a loud voice sounded after him“Then who took the necklace? Ghost? Or a Demon?” “Answer me, Chris Loner. If you didn't take the necklace, then who did that?’” Zack said with a ruthless voice, his hands fixed in his pocket.The guests were already murmuring in chorus; jumping into an immediate conclusion that Chris is the criminal here.Chris looked at Ava who was the only one giving him a glare of hope, others just stared at him in disdain!“Why are you keeping quiet? Cat cut your tongue?”“ And what did you expect me to say or do?” Chris responded sharply after Alice, his tone rude and hasty. “ I already made it clear to you all that I never stold that necklace and

As Zack's hand slid through Alice's thighs, Chris was burning in anger and this was actually increasing the wrath of the Dragon within him!Zack looked up at Chris to see the texture of his face while caressing Alice's body. Just as their eyes met, Chris was about to command harm upon them but his action was interrupted by a knock on the door.“Sir, I think the event is about to begin!” The voice said, putting a halt in Chris's anger.Alice paused, giving Zack an arousing glare; assuring him that they'd continue after the event.Today is gonna be the best day for Zack as he was to launch his new company. Many big names were invited to this event. Karen and Ava already arrived at the banquet, looking all luxurious.While they stood enjoying the view of the banquet, Ava noticed Chris standing beside the stage. She kinda felt bad to see him there but understood that he had to do that to remain under her Mom.As she stared at Chris with emotions filled with mystery, Alice walked down the

Chris turned back to have a look at Karen but his eyes met with Zack's. They stared at each other in so much despair with Chris's hands clenched tightly.“So, are you going to do what I told you or you rather watch yourself leave this house?” Karen added, leaving Ava and Zack in a hotspot.“Why are you staring at me?” Zack asked “Your foster mother asked you a question, not me! So give her an answer. Don't stare at me as if I'm your destiny helper!” He added with so much satire, to make a ridicule of Chris.As all tension continued rising, Chris managed to look away from Zack's side, fixing his eyes on the ground.“I will do as you said!” He uttered with a thick dragging tone, “I will work for Zack as his bodyguard” He added and Zack smiled satisfactorily.“Good boy!” He commented, tapping Chris's shoulder as if he was a baby. “You made a very big decision by accepting my offer! At least, your children will not suffer for the sins of their father!”“If that's what you all intended to

Immediately Gavin was taken away by the cops, Rihanna stylishly walked to Chris, thanking him for helping the reputation of Asstas Group.She further added that it is all thanks to him that Asstas hasn't been in the media by now.Chris smiled, saying “I did what I am supposed to do” “Helping and saving others is my priority and I put the interest of my loved ones first before anything. So, helping ASSTAS is definitely worth it”His utterance was followed by a quick remark by Mr Lockwood, Rihanna's Grandpa and the owner of ASSTAS.“Since you really played a very big role in helping my company today, thanking you wouldn't be enough” he said, walking closer to them- Chris, Rihanna and Ava.“I'd love you to take the place of a senior Director in the Recruiting Department. Please, accept our offer!”Chris shook his head negatively to the question and smiled gently. “I'm sorry, Mr Lockwood but I think I'll pass this one!”“But why?” Mr Lockwood asked, the smile on his face disappearing. The

Gavin was surprised to see the boss stare at Chris in astonishment instead of going straight to the point and getting him dealt with.“What are you waiting for, boss?” Gavin asked impatiently, “This guy here disrespected me and the whole company at large just because he's an ex-convict! Take him out of here immediately and have the police deal with him mercilessly!” He added, pointing and demonstrating his words but immediately after his utterance, the boss gave him an excruciating slap!“You asshole! How dare you speak to him in such a manner?” The boss asked, his tone full of temper. “You made a grave mistake by Underestimating and humiliating him. Now, you will be the one to pay for his so-called Repercussions!” The boss added and Gavin stared at him with his hands placed on his chin.Not just him but Ava was also scared to see the boss and his daughter not reacting fully to what Chris had done. Could something be going on? Ava had to ask herself.As she imagined what happened, the

"I will find Chris a job tomorrow, Mom!" Ava said, her tone sound and respectful. She knew she had to do whatever she asked her the do especially now that her dad traveled to Dubai for business deals.Karen walked out, leaving Chris and Ava staring at each other.As Karen walked away, Ava turned to Chris immediately. " You better get ready, Chris. I'll try my possible best to find you a good job at Asstas...""Of course, Ava! I'll do exactly as you said. I'll wake up on time and do everything...""Save your info for tomorrow, Goodnight" Ava concluded and walked away, leaving Smiles on Chris's face.The moment Ava varnished into thin air, the smile on Chris's face disappeared as he remembered how Zack treated him earlier at Falcon Eatery.As he remembered Zack's belittling words, he clenched his fists tightly, and his veins started vibrating."I'll continue to live my life as a lowly adopted son even though I am the Dragon Lord. With this, all my enemies won't know that I am the silent

Rico and Fred's eyes hit together. Fred gave him that glare which he knew the meaning of. He knew that Fred wasn't at fault. Noticing how Rico stared at Fred, Claire immediately "Really? Are the glances necessary?" Rico sighed before saying "Claire, believe me, this..." "Cut to the chase, Rico! I only want to hear the truth and nothing more" Claire cut off his utterance and he added "At least, give me the chance to explain myself inside the house, not here" Rico said and Claire moved out for his passage. After thinking about how he would make everything clear to Claire, Rico sighed again. "Come on, Rico. We're in this together. We accepted you into our home not only to live with us but to ensure that we live in loyalty..." Claire said and added "Please, Rico, tell us how the orchester crystal got into your nerve" It was a very hard decision to make but Rico had no choice but to spill out the beans. "It is true that I have the crystal in my brain. The crystal has been given

Rico dashed off to Auguste's mansion. Auguste and Beatrice weren't around. Rico had made up his mind to destroy Auguste and bring everything to an end. When he got to Auguste's compound. He teleported himself to his lab. There, he saw all of the systems that he used in producing Zombies. He saw the one that showcased the total number of infected people in the world.He touched the system and said"How evil people can be! I can't believe that Auguste has this evil intention. He should thank his stars that he isn't home, otherwise, he might be in the land of the dead with his accomplices!"He gazed up and visualized everything in the lab. He further walked up to the other labs. There, he saw all manner of machines. He raised a small metallic machine that had the structure of a microscope. He gazed at it thoroughly before wondering to himself"For real? How did they invent all these?""This targets the number of people in the world. This is where they store all the information about ind

Rico met with Fred in haste. It seemed as though he took his Promise likely. Auguste and his team really have to pay. "Fred, I want you to link my thoughts to reality!""But why now, Rico? You know very well that it's very hard to do that at the moment. If I may ask, why do you want to link your thoughts to reality?"Fred inquired and Rico grabbed his Amazon suitcase. His face wasn't friendly, looking so strict."Auguste and his team have done enough, it is time to teach them a very big lesson!"Fred nodded and asked him to sit down. His system was previously connected to the Amazon system making it easier for Fred to carry out his mission successfully. He brought a systematical ball which was small in size and magnetic. He placed it on Rico's head to connect his thoughts to reality.The ball connected to his Amazon system successfully. He pressed a red button and Rico's head started vibrating. His head twitched profusely and unstoppably."Focus on your target, Rico. Bring them to r

The circa has changed a lot. The internal part now glows in orange. "What am I seeing? This is no longer a building, are we in another planet?"Fred inquired, shocked. The internal part of the Circa was covered with a magic orb. "Fred, I think the crystal did a great job. The circa is even more developed, bur how do we get in?"Rico inquired because the orb blocked their entrance which covered the internal part of the circa. The magic orb was a small shimmering ball which was similar to a tennis ball but unlike a tennis ball, the orb was transparent and glowed.From the external view, you can't see what us happening inside but from the internsl part of the circa, you can see everything that is happening outside.The magic orb was shimmering in orange as Rico and Fred figures a way to get inside. Rico had a plan which he thinks might be successful. He was developed with powers, so there is a possibility that once he touched the glowing orb, it might open.Rico closed his eyes and too

Rico opened his eyes immediately and it glowed. He was aware of the danger that was about to befall him. This mission will be very hard but Rico has to fulfill his calling. It was the middle of the night. He walked to the vicinity where he systematically changed into Rico. He dashed off to save the night! A woman was still waiting for her drunkard husband to return. She was yawning and lost in sleep but was conscious at the same time.Immediately, the floor started shaking. This jolted her to reality. She stood up to check why the ground Shaked.Immediately, someone grabbed her legs from below. She screamed and attempted to run away but the person also stretched forth his other hand and came out with so much sand coming out from his body.It was a zombie! She looked around and saw a flower vase. She hit the zombie and ran straight to her daughter's room to ensure her safety. There was worse!Zombies surrounded her daughter! She screamed and the zombies diverted their attention to her

Rico wouldn't leave without saving anyone in danger. Nigeria was in grave danger, not Nigerians but their president. Rico couldn't ignore the visions of the aged man being eaten by Zombies. He flashed into the giant of Africa for a rescue. To the province of Mr President, the Zombies were even his guards.Mr. President was having a peaceful sleep. He'd transferred his wife and children to another country because of the outbreak while staying back to protect his country.Rico sneaked inside Mr. President's house and his hand started glowing. His nerves were systematically active. His hand glowed brighter pointing him to where the Zombies were. He speedily moved to Mr. President's room.A zombie was about to attack him when Rico stretched his hand and pulled him away. Another approached him but he used massive air to blow him off to hit the wall. Mr. President was wowed! Rico moved to him"Are you okay Sir?""Of course I am"The president responded while still gazing at Rico. Now, he r

“Zo…zo…Zora?” Oliver's lips couldn't even complete the words!Desmond Leo on the other hand was shocked. He thought he killed Zora but No! That wasn't the case! Zora survived the death.She remembered regaining consciousness and making some plans with the doctor. The doctor was to give her an ANESTHESIA which would make her seem dead and after her burial concluded, she was dug out.Her new goal was to make Desmond Leo suffer for all the pain he made her and Oliver pass through. So, she thought of a way to make Leo's world miserable and then remembered his girlfriend, Zoey who is abroad.Her findings reveal that she has the same body style and posture as Zoey so she planned with her doctor and they got Zoey's face in a mask form on the day Zoey arrived in H country, she was abducted and Zora took her position.“It was a nice plan, wasn't it?” Zora asked, pulling out a cute smile on her face. Oliver still can't believe that Zora is alive. Is he dreaming or what?“And together with my

CHAPTER 190: SEMI FINALESeeing Zoey standing there in determination, Desmond Leo was happy!He got up instantly and walked to her back.“I'm glad you came here, Hun!” He kissed her and Zoey smiled.“You think that you can get me killed so easily, huh?” Leo directed to Oliver. Do you think that you can destroy me or perhaps take me away from the surface of this earth? Never!”“Leo is right, Oliver!” Zoey supported her boyfriend, her furious eyes fixed on Oliver! “Why would you dare to shoot my soon-to-be husband? Don't you know that there are repercussions for every of your crime? And the crime of shooting him is DEATH!”“So what is the price of him gunning down my grandfather? Why would you see the truth but still cover up the truth?” Oliver asked, aiming at coercing Zoey to turn away from Desmond Leo.“He killed my grandpa. He abducted those innocent children. He killed a lot of people. He committed a lot of crime and you are still supporting him?”Desmond Leo grabbed Oliver's colla

CHAPTER 189:“Where are you going, Oliver? Please, Come back, Oliver. The police will settle this….” Miranda was speaking to herself at this moment because Oliver was more determined than ever before!He hopped into his car and drove off, following the route Desmond Leo took.As Leo drove so fast, Oliver followed him at a higher speed!Desmond Leo realized that Oliver was following him and smiled. “I think he wants to die! I will make him suffer to the end of the day!”He drove speedily and Oliver continued chasing him. In the end, Desmond Leo halted his car and came down from it, standing before Oliver's car!“Come on, Oliver! Let's finish this battle we started Eighteen years ago!” He pronounced, spreading his hands as if he wanted to ascend to heaven!Oliver stopped his car right before Desmond Leo and stepped down.“Why did you kill Grandpa?” Oliver asked with a low tone. “He didn't do anything to you! He loved you like a father even when he knew that you were not a true member

“..... I hereby announce Desmond Leo as the failed opponent to Oliver Smith! And with that same power vested in me as the Head of this family, I hereby declare Oliver Smith as the New Head of the T family!” Charlie Thale concluded and Desmond Leo's ego dropped instantly.Did he hear that correctly? Did CHARLIE THALE just mention Oliver as the new Head of T family?“NEVER!”Desmond Leo screamed instantly, pulling the attention of all the guests who were rejoicing on Oliver's behalf.“I will never be alive and watch Oliver become the Head of the T family! Never! This is cheating and I know that you all conspired against me because nobody loves me in this family! Nobody loves me!” “You are the person who doesn't love yourself, Leo!” Oliver spoke up immediately. “You brought all these upon yourself by making everyone your enemy. Even those that love you, you chased them all away and made yourself the villain. Grandpa loves you, I love you, we all love you!” “That's a big LIE!” Desmond L

CHAPTER 187:Immediately Desmond Leo sighted Oliver, his phone beeped. He checked it and saw it was a text from Darius.“Sorry to tell you this, Sir Leo, but Oliver managed to leave the scene. He didn't do this alone, your private G-Wagon took him off!”Desmond Leo was so surprised especially as Oliver walked on the aisle and approached them.“I apologize for being late! However, my car was attacked and I lost the power to make a call! Please accept my apologies!”Oliver declared, staring at Desmond Leo with a cute smile.Oh My God, Oliver is so cute!As Oliver said this, Charlie Thale wouldn't stop smiling. The crowd was already cheering.“You may proceed to your stand, Oliver Smith!” Charlie Thale said and Oliver bowed before walking out.He stood beside Desmond and still smiled at him.One thing is to attack someone but another thing is to watch the person you attacked escaping from you through your help!That was Oliver's case! When he was searching for a network, a white G-Wagon
