It was now six PM, almost time for the welcome party hosted by Chorro for Liam. This was no ordinary party, it was a party where he would not only be introduced to other business people and their world but also get to see how they do things.It was a party where he would have to prove himself in order not to be seen as a joke or as weak. And also get a face-to-face encounter with Chorro.With a towel wrapped around his waist, Liam stood before his full-length mirror and couldn't stop tugging on his hair as his thoughts ran a thousand miles per second.He could only anticipate and imagine what tonight would be like. And as much as he was confident in himself and his ability, he just couldn't afford to fail whatsoever. That would be a great mistake on his side that would affect him and his name amongst the business elites for a long while.RING! RING!The sound of his phone ringing reached his ears and he walked towards the bedside table where he kept his phone and picked it up to see wh
Chorro's suite was no ordinary one, considering he was a rich, powerful, and influential man, the whole place screamed of wealth.It was already buzzing and filled with guests which were mostly businessmen and women who were powerful and influential just like Chorro himself.The suite is elegantly decorated with dim lighting and plush furniture. Soft jazz music fills the air, providing a sophisticated ambiance. Businessmen and women mingle, sipping on champagne and exchanging pleasantries. The atmosphere is convivial, with laughter and the clinking of glasses echoing throughout the room. Hors d'oeuvres are served on silver platters, offering a taste of gourmet delights. Overall, it's a refined and intimate gathering, perfect for networking and forging connections.As the place began to fill up even before the time of the actual party, those present soon began to exchange greetings and pleasantries with each other.As they made themselves comfortable on the chairs available for them, th
While the booing and mockery laughter was going on inside the place, Liam and the others who were outside were listening to everything being said inside the place.And although surprised by the people's behaviour, Liam was as well amused by them. For people who claimed to be business elites, they weren't quite bright."Is this how they behave?" Liam asked Alexander who was seated quietly next to him."You just need to know how to handle them and get used to their attitude," Alexander responded with a nod while he gently shifted his red bow tie. He was dressed in a simple black tuxedo, nothing really extra and his gray hair was styled neatly to the back.As they all sat inside the car, still listening to the conversation happening about them inside the suite, they soon heard when a man spoke about how Alexander was using Liam, and Liam who heard this scoffed out loudly in the car, gaining a stare from Alexander."I mean, it's technically true," Alexander said with a shrug and this gaine
A few minutes after Liam was settled on his seat, Alexander and Nelson soon stepped into the place, and even though the people made a few comments at Alexander, he chose to ignore them and they both took their seats beside Liam.The table were Liam was seated was a big one, next to him on his right was Alexander, and next to Alexander was Nelson.Right opposite Liam was Chorro who sat relaxed on his chair and beside Liam on his left were two other businessmen whom he barely knew."Everyone is happy to see you here," Chorro said to Liam who said nothing in response, he simply just stared at Chorro briefly before looking around him, examining the place.Apart from the fact that Liam noticed that people's gazes were on him, observing him which he didn't mind, he also noticed how the place was a not so fancy but fancy one. It was small and had a very minimal style to it but the little things used for decors would very much be super expensive.He also observed that there were security guar
With a grim expression on his darkened face, Chorro matched out of the hall where everyone was currently being entertained and walked towards where the ring fight would happen in a few minutes from now.Walking through a door that he shut right behind him, making the music from the hall less loud, he now stood in a hall that was dimly lit and walked towards the only door available in the hall.With his shoe clicking loudly causing a soft echoing sound in the barely lit room, he came to stand before the only door available in the hallway as he grabbed onto the doorknob, he twisted and pushed the door open to be welcomed with the sight of a dark room.And as he stepped in, he reached for the switch and turned the lights on, brightening up the room in no time and the sight before him had him smile in glee. With both his hands clasped together behind him, he walked around the place and as he did so, a soft chuckle escaped his lungs knowing what would be carried out here.This was the room
A few minutes ago, when Chorro left right after he had exchanged a few words with Liam, Liam who had pretended to be so invested in the dancers did notice when Chorro left his seat to heaven knows where and a few minutes later, Liam stood up and followed. He went in the exact direction he had seen Chorro walk to. Following Chorro's trails, Liam was led to a door that seemed to lead to a different room, he wasn't sure and to confirm his thoughts, he opened the door. However, was welcomed with the sight of what looked to be a hallway, one that barely had light in it. And as he stepped in and closed the door behind him, his eyesight began to adjust to the dimness of the hallway and almost immediately, as he narrowed his eyes, he caught sight of a light seeping out from a slightly opened door and he could hear voices coming from the room. The voices, one of them he recognized as Chorro's while the other remained yet unfamiliar to him. With curiosity, Liam walked, and to conceal his pre
"Do not make me repeat myself, let him go, now!" Chorro roared in anger as his eyes widened in rage. A few minutes had already passed since he had stepped into this room only to find his son beaten up by Liam and Liam was still refusing to let go even after he had demanded it.A soft but loud chuckle left Liam's lungs on hearing Chorro's words, he found it amusing how Chorro could be this pressed. And Liam was definitely enjoying the show."Okay, okay. Fine, I'll let him go because I'm a very nice person, you know," Liam remarked as he let go of James and stood up straight, he looked down at James who was still seething in pain and without thinking twice, Liam gave him a hard kick.The kick was so hard that the force of it was quick to send James flying out of the ring and he fell to the ground with a loud thud and following that was a loud groan from James due to the pain from the fall."Weak, pathetic, and loud," Liam murmured to himself as he stared down at James from the ring wher
Liam who remained hiding in the dim hallway stood as he watched the guests walk into the fighting room, chattering and murmuring words he could care less about to themselves.As soon as they all made it into the room, they settled on their various seats and Chorro who was still filled with rage and anger stood before the seated guests with a microphone in his hand, he had a few words to share with the audience."Ladies and gentlemen, thank you one more time for your graceful presence here tonight. As you can all see, there will be a fighting match tonight and this match will be between Liam Santiago and his opponents," Chorro announced and they all cheered loudly, it seemed everyone would enjoy tonight's fight.While listening to Chorro speak, Liam was quick to notice how Chorro said nothing about the reason behind tonight's fighting match and this made him understand all he needed to know about tonight.This was not a legal match, there was no apparent reason behind it, it was rather
A fight would happen soon and it was Liam against almost thirty armed men. But with the guns in their hands, Liam wondered if there would be a fight at all or if they would fire at him before an actual fight would break out."Deal with this idiot," Chorro ordered and the men yelled in response but before anything could happen, Liam spoke up,"You do realize that killing me means killing your children, right? Then your legacy would become useless if you have no son to inherit them, you would age and die and leave everything you ever had on this earth for strangers to take. Do you want strangers to reap what you sow when you are gone? Keep me alive and I'll give you the antidote to save your children as long as you meet my demand," Liam said, hoping Chorro would reconsider his decision."Do you also realize that I can as well find the antidote somewhere else? I'm sure there are doctors who can make them for me at a cheaper rate," Chorro responded, not giving up."And do you also realize
The moment Liam stepped into the room alongside the man who led him into the building, he noticed the armed men that were scattered around the room, it was a spacious room. A room large enough to contain two hundred people, who knew what the old man was up to.His gaze met Chorro's glare but Liam smiled back at the angry old man instead, disregarding his anger. Liam stepped forward and took the empty seat opposite Chorro, there was a huge table in between them. He leaned forward with his arms resting on the table's surface, he stared at Chorro for a few seconds before looking around the place with a knowing smile on his lips."I thought this was supposed to be a one-on-one conversation between us, who are these men?" Liam asked, referring to the armed men whom he could tell were obviously Chorro's bodyguards."That's not important, let's go straight to the point. I'm a very busy man and time is not on my side," Chorro grunted, he couldn't believe an idiot like Liam could use his own p
The call between Liam and Chorro ended after Chorro agreed to meet up with Liam. Liam was excited because this meant he should be prepared to hit the jackpot with Chorro. Of course, he knew it wouldn't be easy because that old man was a stubborn conniving goat and would try to pull off some tricks.Checking the time, it was just ten AM in the morning, he had about two hours before he would leave to meet Chorro. Getting up from the chair, Liam left the room to search for Alexander, he would be informing Alexander about the newest update.Reaching Alexander's office, they both had a long conversation and talked about Liam's plan. It was a risky one and Alexander suggested Liam go with some of his best men and Liam agreed to it. They couldn't afford to make any mistakes or fall for any of Chorro's tricks.At this point, it was either you kill or let yourself be killed and Liam was definitely ready to kill.Chorro had had the balls to threaten him and Alexander's company, it was best to g
The following morning, it was a Sunday morning, Liam woke up on his bed with Gianna next to him. They both had a steamy night last night and for some odd reason, he felt energetic even when yesterday had been a busy day which was a good thing for him.He quickly got out of bed and took his shower, after which he walked to the kitchen and made a quick breakfast of bacon sandwich toast, and coffee. He ate it up like a hungry dog and left the kitchen.Making his way back to his bedroom, Liam crosses paths with Nelson in the hallway. He gave him a side stare and just as Nelson could walk past him, Liam quickly held him back, stopping him from moving any further."What are you doing?" Nelson demanded with a deep frown, he glared at Liam but Liam wasn't fazed at all."I thought I should be a little troublesome this morning, why not?" Liam asked with a subtle smile as he looked down at Nelson who was shorter than him.Feeling agitated by Liam, Nelson let out a slow sigh, he was trying to cal
Apart from the servants and workers of the house, there were only five people in the mansion. Which were Liam, Alexander, Nelson, Kalel and Gianna. Amongst these people listed, everyone knew of their mission tonight except one person, Nelson.Chances are, Nelson sneaked in on their conversation and heard what Liam and Alexander discussed and while trying to leave the room, he accidentally pushed the flower vase and it fell and broke."Nelson was here," Liam stated with a shrug, he then placed his hands into his pocket and looked down at Alexander, and said, "Why did he run away though? We have nothing to hide from him and we equally have nothing to share with him," Liam said with a chuckle."So how is it going with the board of directors?" Alexander asked, changing the topic as he was equally curious to know.Maybe if Nelson got busy with work, he wouldn't find the time to act out of place at every chance he got, Alexander thought as he waited for Liam's response."Stubborn, they've r
The moment Liam stepped into his bedroom, the exhaustion from tonight's event finally came striking him hard and throwing him into the bed, with a tired sigh, he landed heavily on his soft bed as he hummed in satisfaction. The night had been a long night and Liam felt great that everything they had planned was executed successfully even though it had been a rough ride. There were times during the fight when as he threw punches and kicks he would wonder to himself how he even got to that point and why he was there to begin with. But then, he also had to remind himself that it all started with Chorro himself and whatever that old wag was going through, he deserved. Not only did he throw threats at Liam when he barely even started work as the new CEO, but he had planned to attack both the company, himself, and Alexander and take what wasn't his. Thankfully, he would never get to succeed because Liam was way stronger than anything Chorro would ever. After a short silence in his bed
As Lady Flora reached the door, she held the doorknob and before opening the door, she turned to face the guests who had briefly stopped their heated arguments and she said, "Bunch of fools that can't think properly with their brains. Since you all have legs and have refused to use them, then remain here," and after saying those words, she opened the door and stepped out, closing it behind her with a loud bang. Leaving everyone short of words and in astonishment, it was a long silence between them as they all took their time to understand what Lady Flora meant. Meanwhile, Lady Flora with a subtle smile on her lips left the suite and walked up to where the car was parked with her driver waiting for her, she got into the car and ordered the driver to drive off. While the other guests had been loud and rampaging, she had been standing quietly in a corner observing the whole situation. And from that moment up until now, she couldn't help but think how stupid the others were, just lik
Gianna looked around her in search of something to use to cool down the chaos around Liam, her eyes narrowed down at the sight before her with a soft hiss, she looked around until her gaze fell on the gun in Kalel's grasp and without wasting time, she quickly snatched it from him and as she cracked the gun, she screamed, "Everyone! Calm down now!" And afterwards shot right at the ceiling above them. The loud bang of the gunshot inside the room was finally able to get the people to quiet down and to finally let go of Liam as they all scrambled away to a corner for fear of the gun being shot at them. The ever so grateful Liam who came to stand beside Gianna, huffing and puffing for air had not expected that this would happen to him. These people were animals, he thought. Thankfully nothing bad happened to him and his body was still perfectly intact. After glaring hard at the guests who had now gathered in a corner as Gianna still had the gun pointed at them, they dared not take a s
"Do not take one more step forward," a voice was heard from the side when Kalel felt something cold being pressed on the side of his forehead, it was a gun. Now this was something unexpected for the both of them, Kalel had never thought they would encounter this, he wasn't even prepared. Meanwhile, Gianna who was the least worried or scared tried to hide the small smile that crept up her lips. Not because she was happy that they might get attacked or possibly killed I'm here, but because she would use this as a cue to prove herself to Kalel. That was the actual reason why she had told Kalel she wanted to go search for Liam and the others along with him because this was a chance for her to prove she was not weak. She would prove that by showing her fighting skills, she wasn't just all about beauty. And with that thought in mind, instead of remaining standing still like the man pointing the gun at Kalel had asked, she immediately turned around, and from behind Kalel, she used her
