Due to the fact that Liam's back was facing Alexander, he failed to notice the small movement of the man's right hand the the narrowed look Alexander directed at him.

And just when Liam reached the door and was ready to turn the doorknob, something unexpected happened. The ground beneath him opened up in a fast way and before Liam could understand what was happening, he fell right into the hole beneath him.

A shocked expression marred his face and Liam found himself falling into a different room. With a loud thud, he landed on his back and the impact of his back on the floor caused dust to rise from the floor, his groans were soon overshadowed by the small cough that escaped his lungs due to the dust.

He quickly stood on his feet and looked around to see where he was.

However, the place was dark and cold, like nobody had been there for ages. He looked up at the place he fell from but was met with darkness.

Liam was confused as to why this happened, was this Alexander's doing? If so then why because it clearly looked like they were on the same page in terms of his agreement.

Heavy breathing came out of his nostrils, feeling the quiet place as he tried to think of a way to leave this place. But his mind was blank, he couldn't think of anything at the moment.

Soon, the sound of footsteps reached Liam's ears. He noted it wasn't a footstep of one person but that of many people and it seemed like they were coming his way.

He tried to remain calm and not panic in the dark. And to his relief, the footsteps stopped but that was short-lived because a punch from nowhere landed on his jaw and sent him flying.

He gasped and grunted and quickly got on his feet, his stance in a defensive way as he looked around, hoping to find who would try to punch him next.

Footsteps again were heard and before Liam could understand where it was coming from, a kick landed on his lower abdomen. He staggered and almost lost balance and that was when Liam knew, the people in this room were trying to fight him.

And the only person on the losing end was him. But then he wondered, how could they see him and he couldn't. The only explanation for that was they were putting on a type of eyeglass that would make them see in the dark.

Did Alexander send these men to attack him? Was this the his plan? Liam wondered as his jaws ticked in utter confusion.

He clenched his hands into a fist, the only way he could fight and win them was to use all of his senses except his sight which was useless at the moment.

Liam stood straight and closed his eyes, he was trying to make sure he was calm. He took in a couple of deep breaths and when he heard the small movement coming from his left, he quickly turned and this time did not wait to be attacked and went ahead to attack first.

He somehow got hold of the person and gave him a couple of punches before sending him flying with a hard kick and soon Liam was engaged in a fight with unknown men in a dark dusty room.

Liam fought to the point where he was losing because he could no longer concentrate, the attack from different angles coupled with the lack of his sight made it difficult for him to concentrate.

However, the only way to bounce back is to get himself one of those glasses they were wearing on their eyes that made it easy for them to see in the dark. And the only way to do that is to get hold of one of them.

He took in another deep breath to calm his mind and to concentrate and the moment he heard a footstep coming towards him, he quickly faced it and was quick to get hold of the person and they engaged in a tight struggle.

None of them was holding back. However, Liam was at a disadvantage yet again, while he was concentrating on the person he got hold of, some other men were currently attacking him with punches and kicks, making it difficult for him to get hold of the eyeglasses.

Nevertheless, after what seemed like an eternity of struggling, he got hold of the glasses, almost poking the man's eyes and he quickly wore them while he was being attacked from all sides.

The moment the glasses were on him, Liam felt some kind of way and he was glad it was a good feeling because he could finally see in the dark but it still wasn't really clear, it was limited but was good enough.

And with the help of the glasses, he was able to fight back. One after the other, he made sure to knock each of them down. He made sure of that whenever he got hold of any one of them.

Meanwhile, back at Alexander's office, he sat before his table with his computer screen playing a video. It was the video of Liam and his men fighting in the dark room underneath his office.

Alexander was quite impressed at how well and efficiently Liam fought. He watched as he skillfully got hold of the glasses from one of his men and wore them to gain back his eyesight.

Though the room was dark, Alexander could clearly see thanks to the advanced camera used to record the whole scene.

He watched as his men fell one after the other at Liam's mercy. He was ruthless as he fought back, not holding back at all. And the more Alexander watched, the more he saw reasons not to let Liam go.

The reason why Alexander threw Liam into that room was because he wanted to test the young man's capability if he was fit for the kind of position he wanted to give to him and he was quite impressed at Liam.

Liam was not only strong but also strategic which was a fine quality. Liam was perfect in Alexander's eyes.

    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

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 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

    They Fucked.

    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

    Vanished?

    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

    What Poison.

    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

    Lady Flora.

    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
