Chapter 42 Kelvin began rubbing his palms against each other vigorously. “You’ve got some nerves huh? Fine. Let’s play!” More groups of students kept making their way into the mall and soon, there was barely enough space to accommodate everyone. Kelvin’s bodyguards exchanged mischievous glances. They had seen their boss flaunt money around on several occasions so the bidding meant nothing. “Seems like this student is a newbie!” one of the bodyguards remarked. “He doesn’t know who is Kelvin.” His colleague replied. Kelvin pointed to the watch. “It costs 350,000 dollars, right? How about we start the bid by raising the price?” Murmurs broke out among the crowd. Harry flashed an impish grin. Raising the bid meant more commission for him. “Let the bidding begin with 500,000 dollars!” Kelvin declared and turned to Nathan with one of his dry laughs. Nathan was shocked but he managed to mask his surprise. He had expected the bidding to begin with the price tag but Kelvin had just p

“I knew it. I knew that he had been lying all along.” Bernard screamed amidst the laughter. Henry turned to Charles with a defeated look. “We are done for!”Kelvin walked up to the counter. “I knew it from the moment he brought this card out that it was fake. How could he access such a card in the first place?”Not only was Nathan surprised, but he was also confused. He took the card out of the machine and flipped it. It was the same card Mike gave to him and that card contained hundreds of millions. “Step aside. Your card is not working.” The cashier said. The students continued laughing. Kelvin was feeling victorious. “It’s not fake!” Nathan almost screamed. Bernard pointed at him. “Can you guys imagine his audacity?”They went on to mock him with their laughter. “This card is not fake.” Nathan maintained. There was no way Mike would have given him a fake card. He presented the card back to the cashier. “Can’t you please try it again?”“You think we have time for such nonsens

Chapter 46The manager walked up to Nathan and joined his palms before him like he was praying to him. Harry was more confused when he noticed the apologetic look the manager was displaying and the gesture he had just put forth was surprising to Harry. “I’m very sorry Nathan for not recognizing you all this while. I’m glad you brought out that card else I couldn’t have recognized you.”Nathan gave a half smile. He could tell that the manager must have met Mike and now, the Mike effect was at work. Ferguson continued to tender his apology before Nathan. “I’m very sorry for the way the chief of staff and those guards treated you earlier. As their boss, I take full responsibility for their actions and I plead that you forgive us for trying to disrespect you.”The sincere apology backed by the display of respect caused Harry to spring out of his chair. He walked up to Ferguson. “Excuse me, sir…” he tried to speak but received a backlash from the manager. “Shut the fuck up!” Ferguson sc

Chapter 48Nathan and his friends traced their way out of the mall. Immediately after they stepped out, Henry turned to Nathan. “Who the hell are you bro cos right now, I’m not sure if I know you anymore.”Nathan broke into a laugh. Henry was staring at him with a quirked brow while Charles was giving him the look that says ‘Start talking.’“Well, why don’t we leave this spot first?” Nathan said.They were standing a few meters away from the mall entrance. “Seriously bro?. You need to tell us what’s going on here. Are you into money laundering?” Charles whisper-yelled. Nathan sighed. “You just bought a watch that is worth about 700 hundred dollars. Do you realize what this means?”Nathan darted his gaze from Henry to Charles. They were looking serious and demanding answers. “First, it was the Rolls Royce that came to pick you up from the school clinic the other evening and now you just bought this watch. Are we missing anything here?” Henry asked without taking his eyes off Natha

After Charlotte left the lecture hall. She saw Nathan and his friends leaving for the school park and when she got there, she saw them stepping into a Rolls Royce, the same car Nathan had used to pick her up for dinner. She decided to request another ride in the luxurious vehicle so she ran to Nathan with the request that he drops her at home. “Give me a moment!” Nathan said and turned to his friends who had already occupied the back seat.He slipped his head inside and motioned to them with his head to look out. They expertly snuck their head out and saw Charlotte stuffing her textbooks into her school bag. Charles raised a brow. “She’s coming with us?”“Yes. She needs a ride home.” Nathan replied. “Okay!” “I was wondering if one of you could sit in front, right next to Larry so that Charlotte and I could sit here at the back.” Nathan requested. “That’s fine with me,” Henry said and pushed the car door open. I’ll seat with Larry.” He jumped out of the car and greeted Charlotte
