Nelson was evidently shaken by what he just witnessed, who was this homeless man? The man looked too strong to be a regular person.

Liam looked down at the leader who was still on his knees, he raised the man by his shoulders and dragged him towards the van and without hesitation, Liam mercilessly pushed him into the driver's seat and buckled his seat belt.

After securing the seat belt, he shut the door and went on to push the back door wide open and dragged the three unconscious men into and closed it.

He looked at the leader who stared back at him with a mixture of anger and fear, he then said, "I hope this would be more than enough for whoever sent you. He should know better not to go after that young innocent man again."

"Innocent man my foot, do you even have any idea what-" The leader who was agitated that Liam was interfering in his business was about to speak when Liam cut him off.

"I don't want to hear it because I don't even care, off you go now." He said and moved away from the car, and it drove off but the leader made sure to threaten Liam before driving away.

But Liam couldn't care less, he was going to die anyway. At least he saved someone before his death, hopefully, his reward would await him in heaven.

He turned and caught the young man whom he just saved staring at him with curiosity and Liam could tell he had a lot to say, more like a lot to ask.

With bruises all over his face, Liam walked to the edge of the bridge and sat in the same position he was in.

Nelson who was a little bit scared left where he had been standing and moved to where Liam sat with his eyes closed.

Though a little scared, he summoned a little courage and sat beside Liam but kept a little distance.

Nelson wouldn't lie if he said this was the first time he had witnessed such a gruesome sight and his body still shook from it.

And whoever this man was, he was definitely powerful.

"Thank you..." Nelson said, a bit unsure of how to put his words. He appreciated Liam's help but didn't know how to say it.

The bridge went back to being quiet and windy but there still wasn't any car passing by which was a bit weird.

Although Liam heard what the young man said, he responded with silence and didn't move an inch, his mind filled with Cara and the way she'd treated him.

He kept screaming internally to himself that he really didn't care much about her but he just couldn't help but feel pained about it.

After all, he spent six years in prison and not a day passed by without him not thinking about her and wishing for the day they would get back together and continue living happily.

He wanted to do so much for her and protect her and that was why he didn't spend his time in prison doing nothing. He learned so many skills and grew smarter and stronger but all his struggles ended in vain because the person he did all of it for didn't want him in the end.

Receiving only silence, Nelson still wouldn't give up and he asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here all by yourself?"

Liam internally sighed, he felt disturbed by this kid.

Liam was sure this young man was one of those rich kids who only knew how to squander money and get into trouble every time.

Who knew whether those men who tried to take him away were the boss of the person he caused trouble? Maybe he shouldn't have helped him, it was better to learn a good lesson than to keep being immature every time.

"The fight is now over, you should go back home to your parents." Except you want to watch me fall into this river to my death. Liam thought but didn't say the last words out loud, the last thing he wanted was to scare the young man he just saved, he was sure the sight of him falling into the river would traumatize the young man.

But Nelson said nothing, neither did he move from his position. He simply sat there. He low-key wanted to know more about this homeless-looking man but it looked like the man didn't appreciate his presence much.

And soon, Nelson sighted four cars ahead driving towards them and without having to look twice, he knew those cars were sent by his uncle.

Even Liam heard the loud sound of a car engine and he shot his eyes open to see the cars approaching them.

One after the other, each car stopped and parked before Liam and Nelson who just sat there and stared like it was a movie show.

About ten armed men jumped out of the fourth car at the back, guns and weapons in their hands while they were covered from head to toe.

Though confused, Liam sat there and just watched with curiosity to see who these men were and what or rather who they were after.

However, to Liam's surprise, these men surrounded him and pointed their guns and weapons at him. He quickly raised his hands the moment one of them shouted for him to not move an inch.

Seeing the situation, Nelson nervously stood up from the floor and turned to look at a man who jumped out of the second car and walked up to them.

On getting to Nelson, the man bowed his head and said, "Your uncle has ordered us to bring you back home safely."

"Yeah, and I'm fine. Tell them to take the gun away from him, he saved me." Nelson said pointing at Liam who just sat there with his hands raised.

The man looked at Liam for a few seconds and signalled the men to move away with their weapons and they did.

"Let's get going now, your uncle will be worried." The man said and waited for Nelson to move.

But Nelson turned to look at Liam, the man who had just saved his life. He then turned back to face the man and said, "He is coming with us."

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.

    Meeting.

    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

    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
