Edward loyld: Rise of the underated biochemist CHAPTER 49: BACK TO ASHVILLE.
At 7 p.m., Edward's plane arrived in Ashville. A convoy was waiting to receive him at the airport. At the sight of him, his security team quickly advanced, smiling as they approached. "Welcome back, Mr. Edward," Gerald and four other security personnel greeted, taking his luggage from him. "Thank you," he replied with gratitude. Edward was escorted to the black Sprinter bus, where he sat comfortably with Gerald by his side. As the car started moving, Edward and Gerald began talking. "How was your time in Dubai, sir?" Gerald asked. "My time in Dubai was fine. I had a nice experience. How has the company been while I was away?" Edward asked Gerald. "The company has been doing great, sir," Gerald began, providing Edward with details of what had been happening in the company while he was away, along with proof from his phone. Edward nodded, smiling at everything Gerald said. Production had doubled, and the orders placed for his vaccines had also increased. This was proof that

Two days after Edward returned from Dubai, he and a group of billionaire friends decided to chill out at one of the city's hottest clubs. Lux was known for its top-notch interior decor, best wines, and of course, being a hangout spot for the wealthiest men and most beautiful ladies in the city.Edward sat with two of his friends, Jackson and James, in the club, drinking and discussing business. The men were surrounded by ladies, except for Edward, who hadn’t found anyone to his liking. As they discussed, his eyes landed on a beautiful lady seated at the bar, sipping a drink quietly. She was a petite redhead with flawless skin and beautiful eyes. He excused himself from his friends and approached her."Hello, why’s a beautiful lady sitting alone?" he asked. The lady glanced at him from head to toe before replying. "I’m not alone. I’m with someone," she said. "Oh, you’re with someone? Where is the person now?" "He excused himself to the toilet. He’ll be back soon," she replied.

As the MC announced the termination of Mr. Compton from the party, people who knew him turned in his direction, and the rest of the crowd looked toward the direction of the onlookers. Compton was embarrassed as they stared at him. The shame Edward had brought to him was beyond his expectations. Even Jedidah was shocked by the announcement too. At this point, some people brought out their phones to start filming.Gently, Compton stood up in shame and held Jedidiah's hand, about to walk out of the party, but Edward stopped them immediately."Hey, wait! You can't go with her," Edward insisted.Mr. Compton turned to look at Edward with a glare. He folded his fist, being overwhelmed with a killing instinct."I should leave my girl all alone here. Hah. You must be the biggest joker I have ever met." He said.Edward smiled at him and then replied. "It's not your place to speak for her. Like I said, you aren't married to her yet, and I can----""I'm going with my boyfriend." Jedidah cuts him
Edward loyld: Rise of the underated biochemist CHAPTER 52: Mr Compton
Outside the club, Compton stood at the parking lot next to his car with anger lancing through him. He still found it very difficult to explain what happened. How does he explain his girl staying back with another man all because of $10,000? He reached for his phone in his pocket and dialed a number. "Hello, Mr. Compton," the person said from the other end of the line. "I need an arrangement on Mr. Edward. CEO of Loyls Pharmaceutical Company. I want him to face my wrath." Compton vented angrily on the phone. "Mr. Compton, meet me at my estate; let's discuss it." With this, Compton ended the call with a smirk on his face. Although Edward might be big, he was sure going to make him pay for what had happened this night. He wouldn't let it slide. "Son of a bitch." He cursed under his breath as he got into his car. Compton drove out of the packing lot and headed in the direction of the person with whom he just spoke on the phone. Some moments later, he arrives at a mansion, an

"How do you mean the nobody is a younger brother to Mr. Freeze?" Edward asked Gerald. "He's not a nobody, sir. He's from a very influential family, and from history, they don't let their enemies go scot-free. You will have to be ready for this war," Gerald said. Edward didn't say any further words. He handed Gerald the letter in his hand, got inside his car, and drove back home. Reaching his room, he saw Jedidah still lying on the bed, doing live videos with her phone. The moment she spotted him, she put the phone aside and faced him. "Hey baby, you're back so fast?" She smiled at him. She was expecting a warm reply, but Edward kept a straight face. "You never told me your boyfriend was a brother to the head officer of the DEA," he said, glaring at her. "Well... does it matter?" Jedidah asked, confused. "Yes, it does!" He shouted at the top of his voice. "Can't you see that it cost me my license? That bastard used his brother's influence to get my company shut down, and it

The moment Edward arrived home, he received a call from Gerald, informing him that all documents had been properly verified and that the DEA had given an order for his company to start operations. Edward was filled with excitement and, at the same time, surprised by the news. Although he was counting on Donald to pull some strings as he had promised, he never imagined it would happen this quickly.Amidst the surprise and excitement, he noticed a message flash on his phone from an unknown number. He opened the message, which read:> "You are so lucky my brother and Mr. Donald are business partners. You wouldn't have been able to operate your company for six months. Be careful not to make the same mistake again. You might not be so lucky next time."He read the message with a twinge of regret. He knew it was from Mr. Compton, who was still offended by what had transpired at the club. He decided that he should apologize to Compton.He tried calling the number, but it was unreachable. He

Edward was fast asleep when he received a distressing call about the virus outbreak at Gyang Pack. He stood up to watch the live reports on the TV. He was deeply pained and filled with emotion as he saw hundreds of youths being taken into ambulances for medical care. Quickly, he picked up his phone to call Gerald, but an unknown number called instead."Hello, am I speaking to Mr. Edward?" the caller said when he picked up."Yes, and who am I speaking with?" Edward asked."I'm Dr. Stephen from the government specialist hospital. We have a very serious issue that we want you to see. I know it's late, but please, we would appreciate it if you could come to the hospital immediately.""This is about the virus outbreak at Gyang Pack, right?" Edward asked."Yes, sir.""Okay, I’m on my way," Edward replied. It was past 11 p.m., but he couldn’t sleep anymore. He quickly changed out of his nightwear, threw on some clothes, and dashed out of the house.He drove out of his estate to the governmen

"Donald was right. This is a new virus," Edward proclaimed. Quickly, he flipped through the pages to read more information about the virus.**[[ Properties of the virus ]]** - **Airborne** - **Killing strategy**: convulsing, blood coating, changing of retina eye color. - **Cure**: Virus depressants mixed with penicillin, sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and black wood leaves. The black wood leaves are the key ingredient and can’t be substituted with anything else.Edward was familiar with all properties for the cure except the black wood leaves. He had never heard of it before in his medical career. He took out his phone and googled "black wood leaves."The black wood leaves were a famous herb used in the 19th century BC by ancient Mesopotamians. They had healing properties and were a primary plant for spiritual meditation, as they helped transport the soul to the spiritual realms with ease. The herb was destroyed during the Great War that led to the Renaissance, and the

"Has your dad ever had any disagreements with someone in his office?" Edward questioned suspiciously. Muktar went into a quick thought before he replied. "Well, the one I can think of is with Officer Basit, and that's his PA." "You mean the same PA who came into the office when he slumped?" Edward asked. "Yes, that's him. They had a little disagreement, which my dad talked about, but they were cool. My dad never saw him as a threat, and I don't think he is." "Your dad not seeing him as a threat doesn't mean it wasn't the case for him. He might have seen your dad as a threat to his own plans. Well, I don’t think there’s much to be done now. He’s been buried already without an autopsy result," Edward said. "Yeah, you're right," Muktar replied, seeming sober. "Don’t worry, bro. It’s all in the past. I’m glad you’re out of prison, and most glad you were the one who pulled the trigger on your uncle. It would have been a different story by now." "Yeah, and all thanks to you. I

"What do you mean? Are you serious?" Muktar said as he took the paper, his eyes fixed on it. He was surprised. That same surprise could be found on Edward's face too. They both quickly read the content on the paper and saw it was a fine of 5,000 rands for each of them. Amidst the shock, the prisoners also congratulated Muktar for his freedom. "Let's go discuss outside," Inspector Haske said, and they all walked out of the prison. They got to the police interrogation room, where they saw a man with dreaded hair seated, his hands cuffed. Upon seeing the guy, Muktar shouted at the top of his voice, "That's him! That's the guy who shot at the couples!" He said angrily. That moment, he felt like he should rush the guy and strangle him to death but he restrained himself. Edward and Muktar moved forward to the counter, where Edward paid a whopping sum of 10,000 rands for his and Muktar's bail. After that, they were given their belongings held by the police, and they finally left th

CHAPTER 66:
Edward was escorted out of the field towards the police counter, where he reached for his wallet, brought out some cash, and handed it to the inspector. "Now, can I have medical aid?" he asked, watching as Haske smiled while receiving the money. Edward was taken to the medical center, where the doctor attended to him. There, he discovered that some people actually bribed their way out of hard labor in prison. Had he known earlier, he would have paid and remained in the cell while the rest endured the labor. Somehow, he still felt pity for the other prisoners. He stayed in the medical center until nightfall and was then returned to the prison. Upon entering the prison, he noticed that half the prisoners were asleep, while those awake were leaning weakly against the wall, including Muktar. At the sight of Edward, Muktar quickly stood up and approached him. "Hey, how's your leg?" he asked. "It's fairly okay. I can see y'all are tired." "Yes, the work today was tedious. We w

"But he said he broke into his uncle's house. So, who exactly were the people killed?" Edward asked."Well, he didn’t lie. The people killed were his uncle's son and his wife, who still lived with his father. It’s reported that he tried to escape after the shooting, but he was caught by a local vigilante on duty that night and handed over to the police.""So, does that mean there’s no way to help him out?""There’s a way. From what was stated here, he wasn’t the one who pulled the trigger. And the person killed is also a wanted criminal. If we can locate the person who did it, we might be able to set him free.""And how can we find that person?""The vigilante knows who they are, and he’s hiding somewhere. If we offer him a reasonable amount, he might expose the real shooter, and your friend can go free.""And how much would that take?" Edward asked."Just 300 rands," the barrister replied."Done. Just make sure you get me out of here first, then we can deal with his case." After gat

"How do you mean I can get out of here with money?" Edward asked."Because you are in a corrupt system. With money, you wouldn’t even need a lawyer. Just pay the police, and they’ll let you go, though under some conditions which I can help you with. I can help you get free, you know?" Muktar said, and Edward narrowed his eyes at him."You can help me out of here? But what about you, though? If you have the power, why are you still in here?" Edward asked, and Muktar smiled."Mine is a long story... I was actually convicted of a crime I was guilty of and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment," Muktar said."Tell me what you did. I want to hear it," Edward asked.Muktar explained how he was convicted for robbing an old man in the village because of money. According to him, the old man was an uncle who had illegally taken his dad's wealth when his dad passed. He reported the case to the police but didn’t get justice because the man bribed the police. Then, he decided to take matters into his

CHAPTER 63: **AT THE PRISON**
They arrived at the prison yard some minutes later, and Edward was taken to a particular office in the prison center. In the office, the people who had brought him explained something to the officers in their language, which he couldn’t understand. Afterwards, he was stripped of his clothes and taken to a prison cell with just his boxers on.Edward was surprised at the way they handled him. They didn’t even hear his side of the story, let alone give him the chance to get a lawyer. In his prison cell, there were about a hundred people. Amongst them, Edward stood out. His skin color, hair, and everything about him was different. The prisoners stared at him like an outcast, communicating with each other and laughing. He knew they were gossiping about him. Some tried speaking to him, but he couldn’t grasp what they were saying since they spoke in their language.There was limited space in the prison. It was small and stank awfully. In the cell, they defecated and urinated on the bare floo

CHAPTER 62: TROUBLE WITH THE YOUTHS
Seeing the angry youths surrounding him, Edward began to tremble in fear. He knew he had been busted, but what he couldn't fathom was where all these youths had come from. This place was isolated just a few minutes ago. How come there were a hundred people here already?"Who are you?" one of the youths asked, his head covered with a red beret. He was the leader of the group, standing in the middle of them."I... I... I—""Speak, or we’ll slit your throat, foreigner. Who are you, and what are you doing in our secret temple?" he asked again, this time raising his cutlass as the rest did the same.Edward was confused about what to say. He knew that revealing his true purpose could get him killed or thrown in prison, just as Donald had warned him. He had to come up with a believable lie to clear his name."I—I’m sorry. I'm a tourist who came to explore this place. I have no bad intentions at heart," he said, faking a smile. The youths exchanged glances, communicating in their local dialec

CHAPTER 61
As early as 8 a.m., Edward was up. He walked into the bathroom to have a bath, then returned to the room to start dressing. Today, he was leaving for his first adventure in searching for blackwood leaves. He saw it as an adventure, imagining the risks he was taking to find them.He wondered how he had woken up on his own without hearing a knock from a waiter. Hotels in Ashville would usually bring breakfast to the room at 7 a.m. sharp, and dinner every night, but it seemed things were different here. Maybe it was just a place to sleep over and nothing more.A few minutes later, he finished dressing, picked up the things he’d need, put them in his bag, and headed out.“Good morning, sir,” the female receptionist greeted him as he appeared.“Good morning. I’m heading out,” Edward said, handing her his key.“This early? What about breakfast?” she asked.“Well, no one served me breakfast,” he replied.“Oh, sorry, sir. I can go get it for you if you want. You just need to give me money and

CHAPTER 60: KANURI KINGDOM
The drive from the airport was smooth. Edward got a glimpse of the beautiful city in Africa. The towering buildings, skyscrapers, and exotic cars along the way created a fascinating view. Africa looked stunning. However, these beautiful sights gradually began to fade as they neared their destination.A couple of hours later, the cab arrived at Kanuri Kingdom. "Welcome to Kanuri Kingdom," the cab driver said to Edward.The first place they passed was the village market. People were busy going about their daily lives, trading and interacting with one another. Though it was already evening and getting dark, the market was still bustling, as if the day had just begun. The vibrant African culture was evident in the way everyone interacted. It was nothing like Ashville, where people mostly kept to themselves."Thank you," Edward replied, his attention still focused outside the window, observing everything.The roads became rough, with the driver encountering many potholes as they made thei
