Everyone stood still. An elderly man approached, holding his briefcase. The scent coming from his clothes was very pleasant to the nose. Mr. Aura recognized him immediately and greeted him with a bow. “G-Good morning sir! The guards also bowed. The man was inspector Franklin. The inspector queried further. “A beggar?” “And also a psychiatric patient?” “How did you all come to that conclusion?” Daniel spoke with annoyance. “Take a look at his dress! He looks wretched and unkempt.” Then someone whispered. “Mr. Noah Kendrick would be discouraged if he finally arrives for the meeting and sees this pandemonium.” At this time, Noah was shocked and wondered if he looked so terrible like a beggar or psychiatric patient. Or maybe he didn't look like the usual first-class citizens that frequent that area. The inspector glanced at Noah who was standing in the middle. His instinct told him he knew Noah but he could not tell where they'd met. “What is your name?” “What are your
“Mr Kendrick, I deserve whatever punishment you give me. Please, I am sorry.” Daniel was disappointed in himself. He had just ridiculed a wealthy citizen who was far richer than him. How could he have imagined such a person was the face behind the ongoing hospital project? “Please sir, I'll be glad if you show him mercy. I don't mean to be disrespectful but please…” Lenora spoke slowly.At this time, Andy and everyone were quiet to hear Noah's final decision.Noah's eyes darted between Lenora and Daniel. Coldly he spoke, “I'll spare you today but you might not be lucky next time.” Everyone sighed in relief. Thirty minutes later, the meeting ended. Noah and Andy walked beside each other. They noticed four young girls running towards them. “Why could they be running after us?” Andy thought. The girls finally caught up with them, Noah and Andy had to hear them out. “We'd like to visit your house, we want to spend time with you, we want to make you happy.” Andy noticed Noah d
It's a bright new morning! Everyone went about their daily activities for the day happily except for the families of Ariel and Swelvys.At the Grichy's mansion.Fiona lay on the couch, looking lost and unconscious of her environment.“Mom! Have you heard of the latest news?”Fiona didn't reply.“Mom!” Liam yelled so loud.It snapped her out of reverie.“What's the problem? Must you always constitute noise?”“I am sorry, but you need to hear me out.”“What is it?” Fiona reluctantly asked.“The news on everyone's lips is the death of Lord Ariel and King Swelvy. One common thing is that a red handkerchief was kept on their lifeless body. Everyone in Linton City is scared! If this could happen to such wealthy people with no one raising alarm then we all have to be careful!”“Really?” Fiona widened her eyes in shock.A lot of atrocities have happened in Linton City and it seems the expected parastatals are not doing their jobs!‘There is more to this than just a coincidence!’ Liam wondered
It was a big day of celebration in Linton City. It's the annual festival celebration. Now, except for Jack, Rieka, and Noah the other Fullams had already made their way to the Grand Square event center. “Oh, mine! You look stunning, my angel.” Noah admired Rieka, holding her hands till she entered the car. He turned to Jack who stood with his arms folded and asked. “Are you sure you'll be fine staying at home alone?” We can wait for a few minutes so you can get dressed and come along with us.” “Staying home all by myself is not a new thing. I'll be fine. Take care of yourselves.” He waved at Noah. Next, Noah took the driver's seat. “Let's go have some fun.” Noah smiled at Rieka. Outside the Grand Square event center, lots of luxury cars were properly parked. Everyone took pictures and admired the environment. They were all requested to wait in the garden since the event hadn't begun. Seeing the crowd, Rieka suggested that they wait in the car till the event starte
Seeing the license plate, the soldiers who ran towards it paused. They whispered among themselves. “It's General Noah! The Supreme Ruler!” “Wow!” “It's a great honor to see him again!” Lois kept questioning Noah's audacity and insulted him. To avoid the attention she was drawing to herself. He spoke. “I can't bring shame to the Fullams, I am also part of the family.” Lois insisted that Noah returns home before they all get humiliated like Senior Fullams. “You don't have to worry about me, I'll take the consequences for my actions!” Noah said calmly. Next, a female voice echoed all over the place. That was the lady who anchored the event. “Ladies and gentlemen! You are all welcome to this year's festival. The attendees gave a loud clap. Hearing this, Rieka and Noah came out from the car. At this point, the soldiers who saw Noah saluted him. Rieka couldn't control her emotion “Take a look, the stage is well decorated and attractive.” “Only prominent people
Noah never expected that she'd come up with another thing after they've decided to go home.Nevertheless, he has to grant her request. Next, he and Rieka came out of the car and headed to where the chairman sat on the stage.The Fullams felt disrespected.The chairman exchanged pleasantries with them and they even took pictures.The chairman nodded his head in awe.Noah wasn't just a General but a Supreme Ruler!Did they come back just to exchange greetings with him and take pictures? However, the chairman felt happy to take pictures with the Supreme Ruler!Once again they left the stage.As they got to the car, Rieka warned.“No one should come up with another thing to do, we have to go home now!”Lois hissed. “You should be thankful that I am tired or else we would have waited till the end of the event.”Rieka looked at her in shock and then said, “O-OKAY!”Lois was satisfied with all the respect and honor she got from the little time she spent at the festival. The feeling was seco

If it were to be a natural death, the pain would have been less but King Swelvy was murdered.The Swelvys were one of the top three wealthy families in Linton City They had just concluded the burial rites of King Swelvy.All the people who came to pay their condolences to the Swelvys soon left for their various destinations.Now, only the Swelvys were present.The person who stood in the middle while the rest were seated was King Swelvy's only son and eldest child, Kain Swelvy.Being the only son and eldest child, Kain took up the responsibility as head of the family.They all watched the surveillance footage of how King Swelvy was killed.They all went out for their daily activities, only to return and find King dead.Instantly, a young lady jumped up. “That is him.

After the Kendrick family was eliminated, the three top families covered it up.They bribed a TV presenter to announce fake news.The news stated that Kendricks lost their lives in a plane crash while they were returning from an illegal deal.However, details about Kendrick's properties and assets were not disclosed to the public.Now, it was time for vengeance!After they've gained all the riches they could get in the world, gained connection, and became influential. How could they commit suicide by hanging themselves?Deril stood speechless as he watched the two people who visited Fiona take their leave!“Fiona, say something! What is happening? Why did members of Ariel and the Swelvy family visit you?”Deril was perturbed.“You won't understand! But all I can say is that some members of the Ariel, Swelvy, and Grichy families are counting their last days on earth.”Fiona's voice was etched with regret! How could she explain the atrocity she and others committed? If not for greed, sh
