The room echoed with chatters from the members while their leader snickered at Chris.

“A challenge card has never been wasted,” the leader said, walking closer to Chris “Remember this is going to be the first of its kind.”

Chris exhaled and stared at the ceiling, considering his options. Though his decision didn't matter to the shadow league as they were all resolved to do it, he couldn't help but feel that they would waste the opportunity like they had been doing.

“The challenge card is only a debate we had against extreme measures, why are we making it a thing with Louis,” Chris opined

“Aren't we at extremes?” A man asked, his face etched with disgust as he spoke “Isn't this enough to tell you that it is time to put the challenge card to a test?”

“What is your deal with this?” He asked, getting paranoid by the second “Tell us, do you want us to fail?”

Chris glared at him, mumbling words that were inaudible to the members. He gave up protesting when everybody began whispering hatefu

    He was a part of the conspirators that hired people to slander the quality of his products and Louis got his confessions on tape. This had officially marked his last in the competition and as a human with free right.“Get him out of my sight,” Louis commanded, looking at the letter. He thought about the secret league's appearance tomorrow and wondered if it was a trap to lure him in. The league antics knew no bounds but he was desperate to end them.He looked at the letter and back at his bodyguards who dragged the delegate out.“I'm gonna go, hopefully it ain't a trap,” Louis concluded.He told Queen of the league's appearance to him and she supported his decision to confirm if they were going to reveal themselves but she begged him to be careful as he always did.Louis went to the college at the time they said he should come, and to his surprise, it seemed he was not the only one to get an invite.The college blossomed with people curious to see the secret league reveal themselves.

    The results of the last game had opened their eyes to see how Louis played them a fool. He made them doubt the reality of the competition. Raul wondered if Louis had a split replica of himself in the game, since the day they last spoke.“Gosh! It's true Raul. That is the Louis we know. The one who scored highest in the collaboration round and the fair fight,” Jessica cried out, covering her mouth in disbelief.She tapped at Raul, shaking him to get a reaction from his mouth but Raul was trapped in a frenzied state, praying for Louis and his participation in the competition to turn out a mirage.“Raul, why aren't you saying anything?” She asked, her face distorted and her lips curled downwards “look everybody knows him, we were played for a fool, Raul. That man had no decision of working as a cleaner for us,”“Please say something,” Jessica begged as her knees trembled with shame.Raul had a lot of questions bubbling in his mind, questions that even if he were provided with answers, he

    “And you will but not like this,” Jessica retorted.“This cut doesn't matter. I did it to myself,” Raul opposed.She hissed in frustration and leered at him “ I don't want that getting infected, so please flip over,” she complained.“What do you think the secret league is gonna do for you?” She asked, frowning her face. “Buy you a membership card with them,”Raul couldn't understand if his wife was accepting defeat or just worried about the cut on his face. He stared at her as she opened a pack and looked at him.“What do you mean by that?” Raul asked, unable to hold his confusion “How do you want it to sound?” She echoed back in an unrelaxed manner. “You've been stating the obvious since we saw Louis today,”Raul twitched his eyes and gnashed his teeth “I thought you wanted a reaction from me. Now you just look relaxed,”Jessica looked sideways and hissed lightly “Relaxed?” She questioned. “Do I look relaxed to you? For goodness sake, I literally came out because that scene in there

    “What gallery?” She asked, squinting her eyes at him “why do you assume I got videos of him in my phone,” Jessica's suspicions took a spike in increase as he mentioned the videos on her phone.“I never told anybody that I have videos of my ex,” she continued Raul suddenly gnashed his teeth, looking away to avoid eye contact with Jessica. He couldn't believe he slipped off while talking to his wife. “Raul,” she called out, her tone shifting from a soft voice that warmed him soul “You're not telling me something. How do you know I have videos of Louis on my phone after our split up?”“Come on, bring up an excuse or you're leaving here unhappy,” Raul muttered as his eyes moved around frantically and his legs trembled.“Have you forgotten?” Raul asked with an awkward smile. He pointed at her nose and gave her a light tap. “You told me,”Jessica leaned her back away from him and growled at him “Don't give me that dumb excuse. I clearly don't remember telling you anything like that,”Rau

    “No, it's more than enough to have the panels kick him out of the league,” Raul leered at her“I didn't know this was still on my phone,” Jessica's face lit up “My goodness. The public are going to call him a hypocrite when they see this video,”“Yeah, hopefully it gets viral,” Raul smirked “Viral that he ain't gonna find any explanation to justify this,”The devilish smirk on his face made him look threatening as they drove forward. He placed both of his hands on the wheel and increased his speed.“We gotta find the right source to leak this on, probably a news channel or so,” Raul mouthed.“Think better,” Jessica remarked. She removed the pin on her hair and brushed it to the side. “Leave this to me, Raul. I am going to make this blow up,” She promised, winking at him to trust her.“Atta girl, how are you going to do it?”She laughed maniacally and blinked profusely “Easy peasy. Don't you follow me on Instagram?”Raul smiled lightly, his thoughts flashing with the memories of how he

    A minute into the video, it felt like his skin was crawling out of him, the hairs on his body stood straight, ten times more sensitive than it had been. His heart beated violently as he felt the shortness of breath suffocate life out of him.“So it's you?” Queen gasped, unable to utter words. She had initially thought the viral video was a fake and just a click bait now that his second company had begun rising and getting attention. She turned her head to Louis, surprised to see his terrified face. The video, a short clip of Louis complaining to his then girlfriend, Jessica about the stuck up nature of the president of the country and the leaders that helped rule it. He vented out his frustration of not getting a job by trash talking the leaders and their mistakes. “She had me on camera,” Louis muttered in realization.The day of the video came clear to his memory again. He remembered being tossed away from a company that promised to hire him, but after a change of policy by the go

    He reached out for his phone and dialed an event planner's number.Queen was at a loss of idea on why he called an event planner. Was he planning to marry a random girl to make his exes jealous? Her ear muscles stretched to Louis' direction struggling to make out their words on the phone.“Oh my god!” She gasped, giving into her ridiculous thoughts “He is planning a wedding now,” she whispered, her face distraught with emotions.“Do you remember who I am?” Louis inquired over the phone.The receiver gave an affirmative response to Louis and sounded happy to finally get a call from him. “I thought you'd never call after I reached out to you,?” The planner said“No, I have been waiting for the perfect time and fortunately, it's here,”The event planner jubilated over the phone like she had waited for this all her life “I am sending the video to you right after this call,” “Please do that quickly. When I get the video, I'll send you some money,” Louis said and ended the call while exc

    Jessica squinted her eyes as she watched herself walking down an aisle on a wedding dress. She was all smiles and elated to be there. She itched her head in realization that the video was about her marriage with Raul. She was about to give a light chuckle when the full memory of that day flashed past her brain.“Why do you have this on your phone?” Raul enquired, trying to grab it away from her grasp. The old woman quickly jumped back, defying the proof that old people were slow in movement.“Back away from me before I call the guards on you,” she warned, glaring at him. She threatened Chris with a pepper spray on her purse,which she also quickly exhumed in contrast to when she searched for her phone.All these while, Jessica slightly bent her knees, straining her eyes to watch the video. She saw herself holding hands with Raul, the priest about to make them seal their marriage with a kiss and then to her fear, Louis appeared in the video.“Oh god, no” Jessica cried out “They got thi

    If Chris was going to be thrown out with nothing, it would have been better for him, but the worst was yet to come. As he got closer to the door, the sound of a police siren rang aloud in his ears.It was time for him to spend his old age in prison. “No, let me go. I'm too rich to go to jail,” Chris struggled, letting out a devastated cry “Please somebody stop them,” he begged, but it was too late to ask for sympathy.“It can't end this way, please. I'll die the first second I get to jail. They'll kill me. Do you know the number of people waiting for me there,” Chris continued, screaming his lungs out.The people laughed as Chris was escorted to the police. His screams fell short in Louis' ear and Mrs Kimberly couldn't bear but feel satisfied at the fate that Chris was met with.“Finally, I get to see him pay for all the crimes he did to me and others alike ,” She said with teary eyes. “Karma really took her time to take a jab at him,” “I won't lie, it sure does look good to see him

    Everyone's attention shifted to the center of the hall. They gaped around as their heart panicked Who was going to be eliminated next? Who was going to win the game? Worst, what would happen to those who stood the test of time till the finals of the competition? Were they going to be compensated or left with nothing while they celebrated the victor? These questions were audible in their head. They couldn't find an answer as to what was going to happen next. “It's time for the results,” Chris shouted, acting like he had gone crazy. “If you stupid panel members have any ounce of respect left for me, you'd make it right and call me the winner,” He brushed past everyone and stood at the center of the hall, beating his chest with force “I made this game what it is today, very competitive. I deserve some credits for lasting long in this competition,”In a feat of rage, he forcefully grabbed a member of his secret league by the collar and dragged him to the center.“Look at all these peo

    “It's all Raul's fault. I was afraid to tell you but I have gathered up courage to tell you the truth,” Jessica continued.She got very close to him and placed her left hand on his shoulder with a seductive eye staring right at him.“You know how I used to make you happy, how I made you feel like a man and brave enough to strive for success,” She placed her finger on her lips and winked at him “I can do that again. I can make you happy again. Let's both forget about what Raul destroyed and make peace again,”Louis gave her cold look, threatening her to remove her hand from his shoulder but she latched on like a seat back on an airplane.“Get your filthy hands off me before I do it myself and trust me, you are not going to like it,” Louis threatened.“Come on Louis,” She said, placing her right hand on his other shoulder like she wanted to embrace him. “Try to understand me, Raul is our enemy and we must join hands to eliminate….”A muscular guard picked up Jessica from her waist away

    “Low Props, Master,” Queen uttered, knowing Louis was lost in his thoughts.“What's happening to it?” Louis asked, a tad bit disinterested on the topic.“Hello,” she waved her hands. “You just revealed you are the CEO of Twin Tower company, of course Low Props' hotline is going to be buzzing with calls,” she said.Louis nodded and raised a brow at her statement. “What's that got to do with me?” He asked.Queen exhaled loudly, trying to hold back her surprised expression “You told me you'd want to go to Low Props after your reveal,” She said, her tone loud and assertive.“Oh… that. Well, there's a change of plans. I got something better to do,” Louis stated, looking at his watch “The college will send a notification anytime soon and I'd like to be present,”Queen ruffled her hair and adjusted her skirt while looking down at her feet “How do you know that? I don't think it will be safe enough to go there at this moment,” she raised her head and pointed to a replay of Louis' reveal ”The

    “Hello sir, twelve branches of your company have been shut down globally,” his secretary reported through a phone call. She was too scared to meet with her boss physically.Chris, with a heavy sigh, ended the call in depression. He decided to stay at home and wail in his sudden downfall. Most of the few remaining members of the secret league had quit their membership in the league, all in the aim of cutting off any relationship with Chris.The fake leader he had hired to act as the leader of the secret league was nowhere to be seen. He was just a few hours from hitting rock bottom while his name was being trash talked throughout the globe. “At this point I might as well give up the ghost, coz I have nothing left to fight for,” Chris wept silently. He stayed in his house for hours doing nothing but cry and stare into the abyss of emptiness.At the strike of twelve, his phone beeped with the notification of a Livestream from the world's biggest news channel. They claimed to have a big

    “You tricked me, you bastard,” Chris yelled, punching his table in anger.“No, I outsmarted you,” Louis continued laughing, unfazed by the tremor in Chris' voice “What were you thinking I was going to do? Sit by and watch you drown me in problems,” he said in a sarcastic tone.“You worthless fool, better watch your back because I promise, you will pay for this,” Chris replied.Louis put his phone on loudspeaker and placed it on top of his table. He then proceeded to cross his arms and snicker at the weak threat Chris made towards him.“I wonder if you have paid for the crimes you have committed,” Louis calmly said “You know, the ones you do behind the scenes and pay people to cover it up,”Chris gnashed his teeth and looked at his watch. With a gruff and rushed voice, he yelled “What do you mean by that? Do you have any evidence against me, you stupid fool?” “Chill, chill. I got time for you okay.” Louis said in a scornful voice. He ruffled his hair and exhaled lightly “The bribes yo

    The headline wasn't celebratory nor was it informative; It was a blasphemy to Chris. What he saw on his television screen made him stand up from his cushion and gasp in fright.“CHRIS, A FALSE HERO TO SOCIETY IS EXPOSED FOR THE TYRANT HE IS AND ALWAYS WAS,” The headline read along with the ugliest reporter Chris had ever thrown words at in his sitting room.He walked closer to his television, feeling threatened by the news they aired.“What is wrong with these people, have they forgotten who I am,” Chris blurted out with his hands on his head. He began breathing heavily as he felt the urge to hold the reporter by her throat and strangle the life out of her. His chest became bloated with held back emotions of the news. He wasn't trying to find out why they labeled him as a tyrant but was bent on making the editor pay for picking a fight with him.The crimes he had committed behind the curtains without justice giving him a piece of her blades had left him feeling too big to be called o

    The next thing Chris was greeted with after a day's work was a lawsuit, perfectly laid on his table and waiting to draw his attention. As Chris slipped into his office to catch a break from plotting nonstop about his final plan to end Louis, he saw it lying on his table.There it was looking at him and he in turn was staring at it. He drew close to his chair, his chest slowly pounding as he managed to sit. He dropped his walking cane on the floor and placed his hands on the table, trying to calm his disrupted nerves from causing a rampage.“My secretary didn't tell me there was mail for me,” he said, touching the envelope with a finger which he quickly withdrew after the envelope moved from the force of his hands.“It's light, what could it be,” he muttered. He tried to call his secretary but hesitated, thinking it was too trivial of a situation to yell at her.With a swift move of his right palm, he grabbed the envelope and ripped the seal off. As he brought out the document his eyes

    Chris made a dubious smirk as he strolled towards Louis' direction. His face turned menacing as he smiled callously with a glare but that was ineffective to a boiling Louis.“I am tempted to believe you are following me,” Chris continued. “Coz, why am I seeing you in such an awful state,” He laughed in scorn.“You are really senile to think I'm in an awful position,” Louis fired back.“With those rusty, tired face of yours, of course it safe to say that we have been giving you more than you can handle,” Chris instantly replied with a sneer. “How's your teammates? I heard they were terminated,” He laughed and cleaned the tip of his walking cane “That's a gift from the league, I hope they liked it?”“You old fool,” Louis flared up and rushed to attack him.“Please by all means, punch me, hit me. I need it right now, that would be a fast way to claim my victory,” Chris hollered with a smirk.Those words were truthful enough to chain Louis in a spot while his chest pounded heavily. A sli
