Jose winced in pain as Victor continued to kick his stomach. "So you think you are better than me huh? I was having my peace, enjoying my meal with my own money when you came into the restaurant. You could have done the same but no, you thought it pleasurable to pick on me and embarass me infront of all this people.""I am sorry Victor." Jose struggled to say."Oh now you are sorry huh." Victor bent down and grabbed Jose at his collar."Victor please. Do not hurt him." Florence pleaded. "Victor if you would not free me for me, please free me for her sake." Jose referred to Florence.Victor took a quick glance at Florence and smiled. "Hmmm! I should free you for Florence's sake." He turned to one of his hefty men. "You here that? I should free him for Florence's sake." Victor stood up, putting up a sarcastic smile. "Porro! Azmoun!

Michael couldn't contain his frustration any longer.He was mad at Victor for not letting him to mention Mr Alejandro Martinez as his prime suspect. Didn't he want the police to have a hint of the internal feud there at the company. Michael thought it unwise to conceal his prime suspect."Victor, I need to know why you didn't want to tell the police about our suspicion of Mr. Alejandro. You know as well as I do that he's the prime suspect in all of this," Michael exclaimed.Victor sighed deeply, his face reflecting the weight of the situation. "I didn't want to involve the police yet because I want to handle this matter personally. If we go to the authorities right away, we might not get the evidence we need to prove Alejandro's involvement.""What are you saying?" Michael put on a disagreeable look. "I mean it is very clear that Mr Alejandro is the cause of all these. I have the audio record of the time he p

She asked once again turning to some members of her campaign team.One of them rushed to the podium, he was a German that went by the name Franz. He leaned to her ear. "I am sorry ma'am but what you just said is a very awful speech.""What!" Patricia was taken aback."You just delivered a derogatory speech in German. Let me look at it." Franz picked up the piece of paper from her hand and glanced at it."Oh my God. It's really bad.""What does it say?" Patricia was shivering."Trust me you don't want to hear it." Franz shook his head."So what do we do now?" "We need to move out of here, and fast."As Patricia and her campaign team hastily exited the venue, whispers spread among the audience.

"Hi and hello boys, as the coach has said I am…""We know who you are just get on with whatever blah blah blah you want to say to us, we have got some warm up to do." Victor said dismissively with scorn written all over his face.However before Patricia could defend herself Anton Fagner chimmed in. "Hey young fela, slow down, that ain't no way to speak to a lady alright, be cool."Immediately Victor contorted his lips and regretted it afterwards, not for cutting Patricia short, but for the fact that a star player like Anton Fagner perceived that he displayed bad attitude.Victor nodded his head but didn't give any form of apology.

Victor and Michael were riding on their Lamborghini en route to the college stadium. Michael was on the wheels as always and Victor was narrating his victory at midnight cove."You should have seen Steffen's defeated eyes that begged for mercy while he was on his knees. Huh." He paused. "He surely must have been thinking about the long jail term he was going to be slammed with by the government after he was caught red handed.""Serves him right." Muttered Michael. "What about the marijuana and the cocaine his men were trying to load on their trucks?""Oh that shit? It's worth millions of dollars.""What did you do with them?" Michael asked."I made sure they were burnt right before his eyes, it was a perfect way to salvage my victory against that bloody rebel.""You know he is more than just a rebel?""What?

Victor began with a chuckle upon sighting the pathetic state of his former landlord."Come on Victor, what is going on, why am I bundled like a captive?" He was scared and that was very evident."You want to know why you are bundled like this?" He paused while looking straight at Mr Thompson's eyes. He walked round him and his gait was slow and relaxed."Let's just say I couldn't get over the acute embarassment you showered on me and my mother just because we were not able to pay your rent on time.""Come on Victor, you know how people are nowadays, if you are not tough with them, they would take you for granted. Please I didn't mean no harm." He pleaded."Oh what a speech. Okay tell me, how many times has my mother failed to comply with you by paying our rent? How many times have we disrespected you or taken you for granted? If I could remember vividly you issued threats to evict us forcefully out of your house, you even threatened to slap me for trying to reason with you.""No Victo

CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO
Victor had tried to let the memories of Mr Thompson's harsh and cruel confrontation to slide under the carpet, but the fact that he had threatened to slap him for trying to calm him down and explain their predicament made him infuriated at each thought as they replayed in his mind time and time again.What would have happened if I was not rich? What would people have said if I didn't have the means to arrest the tumultuous situation? What would have been the mental state of my mother if our belongings were thrown out? How would she have been able to cope with the overly unbearable cold outside?These were questions that flooded his mind. This however made him come to the conclusion that Mr Thompson was a hardened devil, not only that, he was determined to humble him by breaking him and if it was going to bring into nothingness his arrogance and stoney heart, Victor considered it a worthy effort.Now Mr Thompson was a regular customer at a beer parlour just down the street a stone thro
