"Thank Goodness you are here, officer, this man is a beast, look at what he did to an innocent man" one of the junior doctors shouted as soon as the police walked in. Immediately they snapped their gaze to Dr. Jackson who was sitting at a corner, and grunting in pain. Two of the officers walked towards Dr. Jackson, helping him up as the other officer proceeded to walk closer to where everyone stood. . “Who is Mr. Andrew Baron” the officer asked aloud The junior doctor suddenly yelled, his index finger pointing at Andrew “Arrest him officer, he's the one! ”The officer turned,now facing Andrew “ You are Mr. Baron right? I am officer Jon and these are my partners, officer Ken and officer Bruno” the officer said, showing his badge to Andrew then putting it back in his front pocket. “You are under arrest for a endangering life by practicing medicine without a license. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a
"W…w.. Why are you looking at me?” Dr. Jackson stuttered, his heart trembling with fear Did he find out? He thought, his racing with trepidation. But on a second thought, he snapped out of it. Even though Andrew had the highest license in the medical field , there was no way he'd be able to tell what drug a patient was injected with. That was impossible! He thought, assuring himself. Immediately Andrew spoke up “Dr. Jackson here, attempted to murder my child”Andrew announced as a loud gasp reverberated round the sitting room“What! "What's this man saying?" "Has he gone insane?" The doctors, including the two nannies began to whisper and glare at Andrew with disdain When the whispers got too loud, Officer Jon suddenly spoke up " Calm down everyone” he said, turning to look at Andrew, his eyebrows raised questioningly “Mr. Baron what proof do you have to back up your claim?Remember, this is a serious offense and you won't be pardon if your claims are untrue, I think I warned
The room was suddenly filled with whispers, the faces of everyone laced with disbelief and disappointment. Andrew smirked coldly as he pinned his deathly gaze on Dr. Jackson. Seeing that everything was open in the air, he was a bit relieved, but he would never let this slide, he was sure that the prime care hospital where Dr. Jackson worked would try to cover up this case. From the information he had just gotten from his investigator, they had done so in the past, and had succeeded multiple times. But that wouldn't be the case this time around. After figuring out what Dr. Jackson had done, Andrew went to confirm his suspicions after tucking Winnie to bed. He checked the CCTV and immediately contacted his investigator to dig out the dirt the prime care hospital had buried. From the little information he had gathered, the prime care hospital was run by the richest and most powerful family in the whole of Nashville, the Prime family. And Dr. Jackson prime, was their first son wh
Andrew and Benita finally arrived at the La galeto resort—the home for the rich. It was a fancy private resort secluded from the city and located at the east of Nashville city with a vast land area measuring 5000square meters The vast stretch of white sand and the serene atmosphere, away from the crowd in the city, made it the perfect and most famous vacation site for the elites and important names in Nashville city . Andrew and Benita highlighted from their car and made their way into the large hall where the party waa being held. Suddenly, a security guard jumped in front of them, blocking their path. “Hey, stop there, where do you think you are going to?”He asked disdainfully, “What does it look like?” Benita retorted “Where is your invitation card?”he scoffed “We don't have one, we have a direct invitation”Benita simply said “Direct invitation?”The security asked, bursting into a humiliating laughter “I know your type and you can't fool me,show me your inv
Everyone was shocked when Mr Karim walked over to where Andrew was seated and bowed slightly before drawing out a chair to sit on the same table as Andrew. When Lily saw this, she panicked, rushing forward to where Mr. Karim had taken his seat. “No.. No.. No, Mr Karim,you are seated at the wrong table” Lily said hurriedly, panic laced in her voice “Well miss, I choose where I want to sit, is there any problem with that.”,Mr.Karim asked, raising his eyebrows questioningly “No, no of course not, you are our special guest, I was just worried that you wouldn't be comfortable sitting here .” Lily said, her voice low and shaky “Well, I am”“Okay, I'm glad you are ” Lily trailed, her gaze briefly landing on Andrew as she turned and left "Good day Senior, I'm glad you honored my invitation," Mr. Karim said, his voice laced with relief. If Andrew honored his invitation, that means he had truly forgiven him and he had no reason to be scared "No problem, Mr. Karim" Andrew said plainly T
Mr Vain stomped into the room with five of his men and went directly to the dJ stand, turning off the blaring music “ I want everybody to sit down this minute!” He ordered, his vicious gaze sweeping round the hall. The hall immediately went dead silent as the guests hastily sat down. None of them dared to say a word as they glanced at each other, their faces etched with confusion. Lily, being the celebrant decided to muster up courage and ask Mr Vain why he suddenly disrupted the party She sprang up from her chair, her face twisting into a frown “What's going on Mr. Vain ?” She asked out loudly Mr Vain flickered his gaze to Lily, his expression darkening “You want to know what's going on Miss Harlow?”Mr. Vain sneered, strutting towards Lily. As Mr. Vain drew closer, Lily immediately realized that she had made a terrible mistake by questioning Mr. Vain, so she began to take a few steps backwards. Suddenly, Mr Vain picked up pace, storming towards Lily. Just as Lily made to run,
Mr. Vain hissed menacingly , drawing out his shiny silver dagger “ Each second you waste, you lose one finger! ” He snorted coldly At the sight of the dagger, Mike's heart instantly dropped into his stomach,as he nearly peed on his pants “Wait ! Wait please Mr Vain, I will talk, please I didn't call anyone! I don't know what they are talking about! ”Mike shook his head in terror,as cold sweat trickled down his forehead “How can I believe you when everyone here said you did. I want you to show me, now!”Mr Vain growled “Mr Vain please I'm telling the truth” Mike said pleading profusely as his lips quivered in fear “Please, this whole thing was a misunderstanding from the beginning , I never said I called Mr. Karim. They were the ones who said I did ! ” He shouted the last part , his words knocking waves of shock to the crowd “What are you saying Mr Woods? We were there when you confirmed the news from your father”One of the guests spoke up, her brows furrowed In confusi
“M… M…Mike did I just hear you correctly ?” Lily stammered, her heart hammering against her chest as her ears perked open, desperately hoping that what Mike had just said was a slip of tongue.But he repeated it again,mockingly “You heard me correctly! I didn't do shit. That call I received yesterday was from my father and he was reminding me our company's bankruptcy” Mike blurted nonchalantly The guests stared at one another in shock, not quite believing what they had just heard. “Mike, tell me you are joking right now !” Lily yelled, her voice laced with disbelief “Does it look like I am?” Mike snorted coldly, at that point, he decided it was time he let the cat out of the bag. He was done playing pretend and there was nothing to lose anymore. He had gotten the complete funds from Lily, even though it still wouldn't be enough to revive his company ,but at least she had proven useful to him,but not anymore. And now, he would do everything humanly possible to disentangle
When he walked out of the cage, the battleground was silent. The silence was so deafening that a knife could cut through it. Andrew faced the crowd with an emotionless look in his eyes before approaching the leaders. The town's people watched every one of his movements with special interest. They wondered what type of man he was. He was the first person to ever emerge from the dragon beast's cage alive and that was a feat. As Andrew approached the leaders, they shifted uncomfortably in their seats, unable to meet his eyes. They were filled with fear of what could happen if they looked in his eyes. Andrew was an underdog and they would never have thought that he would leave the cage unscathed. He was the least strongest of all the men that went into the cage, yet the beast had surrendered itself to him and even let him touch its scale. To them, Andrew was the eighth wonder of the world. Before Andrew could get to where the leaders sat, Mr Amapolo summoned the courage to ap
After seeing what happened to Akiko, the second fighter glanced around the battleground with fear in his eyes. The people waited with bated breath to see what he would do, they hoped he would get determination from the death of his partner but were surprised when he suddenly took off with his head bowed in the opposite direction. Mr Pluto, his boss, was shocked to see him running and tried to stop him. “Alera!! Stop, you need to slay this beast!” He yelled loudly but that did not stop the man from running. They all watched him run till he got out of sight. The people murmured to show their disappointment and some of them even started crying. These two strong men had been their last hope and resort but now, they weren't there to fight anymore. Nobody took note of Andrew still standing until one of Akilo’s supporters saw him and shouted. “Won't you leave too, young man? Aren't you scared of death?” He asked loudly and all the attention returned to Andrew who was standing, undete
“I know you're all looking for something extravagant and extraordinary but you have to give the little things a chance. You have to look beyond the extraordinary and believe in the little things around you.” Andrew spoke and his voice silenced the crowd. He paused and stared around at the faces of the people present at the event. He waited for his words to sink in before continuing. “Give me a chance to prove to you that there are things beyond the ordinary that work better than the extraordinary. If you want a solution to your problems, then I'll advise that you give me a chance to fight the dragon beast. If you're tired of spending your nights locked up in your houses, let me fight for you and give you all your freedom.” He stopped and returned to his previous position. Mr Amapolo stared at Andrew as though there was something strange about him but he couldn't place what it was. He stepped before the crowd before speaking. “Do you all agree to letting this…young man figh

“This next phase is one that would require you to show us a display of a skill that makes you confident that you'd beat the dragon beast. This doesn't mean that you won't qualify to beat the beast , we just want to make sure you have what it takes to fight the beast . So show us your best skills” Mr Amapolo told the men who listened keenly. Andrew glanced at the two men, standing beside him and saw that they were excited to show off their skills before everyone present. Mr Amapolo stepped back to let the men display their skills. “I'll definitely beat the beast. This is an easy win for me.” The first man laughed loudly while preparing his fortification. The people present watched him with clear admiration and hope in their eyes. He walked to the center of the ground and suddenly closed his eyes shut without moving. Everywhere became filled with silence as they all watched with rapt attention. Before anyone could say anything, multiple versions of the man emerged and the peopl
The next day, Andrew set off for his journey to the location he'd gotten last night after his win against the five formidable men at the clubhouse. Nita town. While watching Benita sleep the previous night, he spent his time trying to find out as much as he could about Nita town. He wasn't surprised by what he saw but was only thrown off by the circumstances surrounding it. According to the research papers he had read , the Nita town was once one of the biggest, richest and most powerful of all the four towns that made up the Nashville city. They had the best of everything. In battles, they were unbeatable, their army was a group of indomitable people who were determined to crush whoever went against their precious town. They had fertile lands that could make anything grow, they planted the best of food resources and often made great harvest when it was time. These food plants were sold to other towns and thus they generated revenue for their town without borrowing from an

Andrew was filled with rage as he drove back to the palace .He felt angry, betrayed and used. As soon as he got to the palace ,he was directed to a room where the town chiefs were holding their meeting .Without bothering to knock ,he barged into the room .Ever since he saved the town from the dragon beast, Andrew had sort of become a mini god to the people so his rude behavior was overlooked. However the men were surprised to see him fuming and angry. He swept his gaze across the room and when it landed on Mr Amapolo the town's leader ,Andrew expression turned colder as he marched to where the man was seated .“How dare you lie to me after our agreement?” He yelled at Mr Amapolo who looked around in confusion. He didn't quite understand what was happening , "Son ,why are ...Before he could finish his sentence ,Andrew grabbed him by the throat “ I am not your son ,because if you had seen me as one , you wouldn't have bodly spat lies to my face" Andrew roared, his anger hitting
Back at Nita town ,Andrew was set and ready to get the herb . The guards drove him to the head of the town palace .But unknown to any of them, an intruder also trailed behind them with his bicycle .Mr Ikan was hell bent on taking the herb and there was nothing he thought could stop him .After a few minutes ,Andrew's car came to a halt in front of a magnificent mansion exuding wealth and opulence.The guards walked Andrew to a double mahogany , after that ,they turned and left having completed their mission .Andrew was left on his own once again as he made his way into the palace.As soon as he got in,he was ushered into a private room where he would discreetly get the information needed to obtain the herb ."Welcome son , the day is finally here" Mr Amapolo said as he gestured for Andrew to sit "I think you should know the history of the Rootox herb before we commence" Mr Amapolo said and dived right into a brief explanation of how the Rootox herb came about ,and why it was one o
