"Yes sir. Louis. It's more like a league of companies.
The companies in this region and the rest of the world have always sought to be more organized.
However organization would never come without some sort of leadership. For this reason, a complex competition of companies was organized, to pick out the most powerful company and deserving too.
That would not only be feared by the rest of the companies but also be treated with respect.
And nobody could think of a way of coming up with something apart from this!" Queen explained while her head remained bowed all through.
"I and Mayor Sam have always been working towards this project and he has always been keen with anticipation!" Queen noted politely.
Louis's head was forced into a nod multiple times. The sense in them was beyond anything that could be explained.
The idea didn't sound too off to him. And if the mayor was so keen into getting into this, it could only mean that there was more to these that was being revealed to the majority of the people that would be participating in this company.
And taking note of the “why” in his life, It had always been sort of boring. Maybe this was the point where he could finally have some fun.
"Then we are in!" Louis said..
Queen was beyond excited. She nodded her head multiple times, appreciating him with smiles written all over her face.
She was about to leave with the excitement that was still brooding deep within her when suddenly she pushed and made a turn to Louis.
"And also! Here you go sir Louis. This is what you requested!" Queen handed over a document to him.
It was the file about the Hart family that he had requested for earlier. Seeing it right in his hand at the moment forced Louis's heart to fluster immediately.
For a while, he hesitated and the pounding of his heart resounded through the room.
During the extent of the investigation, Queen had found more about the young master. Things that went right through her heart like deep stabs.
And if there was anything that she had learned after those long hours of learning about him, it was the fact that he needed to be alone at the moment.
"I would have to leave the young master. I will return as soon as possible!" The words that she spoke were almost below a whisper.
And a silent nod was all the response that she got from Louis who was still staring right into the piece that was in his hands.
With the silent air that roamed the room, he took a deep breath, memories running right through his head.
He hesitated once again and drew the deepest breath in the whole of his history. After which he made the decision.
"I have to do this!" He muttered firm words, forcing the confidence to course right through his vines.
And with these words, Louis tore the documents open.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the City, the duo of Lord Kelly and Lady Annabelle had barely gotten home when she posed an offensive font in the form of a frown towards him.
Throughout the journey, the memories of what went down at the hospital came piercing right through her heart like a stab.
The heat that ran through her body. That look of triumph that laced the face of Louis that made her pray that the earth would swallow her whole, As a means of escaping the embarrassment that came rushing off through her body like a budget of ice cold water.
Drawing a really deep breath, Lord Kelly remained confused as she said no further words, only staring offensively into his eyes in the most uncomfortable manner.
"Is there a problem?" Lord Kelly was finally forced to inquire.
"Is there a problem? Is this the part where he pretends that nothing happened? After everything that we both know went down at the hospital today?" She scowled her eyes almost turning red hot with fury
Lord Kelly who had been trying to forget that the incident ever happened had a feat of anger running through his vines.
His attempts to control his rage through his clenched hands were all futile.
The personal assistant to the head of the company had called him earlier, to pull off from the car that Annabelle was trying to drag.
And he didn't care to argue. Apart from the fact that he owed a debt to these people that he would not be able to pay, even with three of their lives, they also had the power to pull him back into the mud.
It would only be best for him to avoid the case. But Annabelle remained insistant.
Wasn't she supposed to understand that this was way beyond him? Besides he had never questioned her in anything before. Why couldn't she just let this slide.
Maybe it was because he was becoming too soft on her and she was seeming to forget who he actually was.
Letting out an angry roar, Lord Kelly's face flashed with fury unlike anything that Annabelle had seen before, immediately sending falling back in her steps.
"If you know what's best for us, you're going to leave that case just as I have instructed earlier and never bring it up again!" He ended walking away.
Annabelle stood petrified, her eyes bulging off from her sockets. For a while she could not get herself together until a shake forced life back to her.
"Mom! We aren't going to allow him to go scout free right?" Sheldon said.
"Certainly not son. Not after the sort of embarrassment that we were made to go through back then.
If Kelly has decided that he is not going to help, then I would have to take matters into my own hands!" She brought out her cell phone from her pockets, placing a call at the instant.
"Don! I need to see you right this instant. If our love means anything to you, you would treat this matter with urgency."

After Louis was discharged from the hospital because of his quick recovery, he sought to make the Mayor's wishes come true. Though he had not participated in the competition between companies before, his body could barely contain his subtle excitement to enter. Queen stood patiently outside the hospital, waiting for her new boss, Mr Louis. They had a lot to go through for Louis to understand his future arena before jumping in without caution. Louis briskly walked straight in her direction, his hands swinging automatically to match his footsteps. “Good morning sir,” Queen greeted with her head slightly bowed but also managing to stand straight.“Morning” “I have prepared your car to take you to the company. I figured you'd want to see it the moment you were discharged” Queen guessed right, for Louis wanted to go straight to business instead of wasting time celebrating his new feats.“Great, I also want detailed information about most of the companies participating in the competition

“A different name?” she forced out a laugh“Yes, a different name,” Louis replied with certainty; in fact, he had never been more sure of anything in his life than this. He could sense her obvious doubt in his decision which she tried to cloak with a faint smile.“Do you have any problem with what I just said?” He stared at her blankly, giving her room to express herself a little bit.She jumped at the opportunity to spit out all her questions without wasting time. “How would others know we entered the game? This would be a first in history, if we do this, keep in mind that we definitely will be sabotaged and picked on?”She kept on asking without pausing for breath or answers. It seemed new to her and she worried that Louis might end up being the helpless boy they'd pick on without demanding respect.“Easy with the questions, I can only answer the most important, and trust me, I know what I'm doing,” Louis assured, using his hands to gesture that she should take a breath.She apologi

Louis rolled his eyes around the building as he noticed that everyone was waiting for him to give his answers. He muttered a cuss word and clenched his fists behind his back. He was thrown off his feet by their desperation to set a class structure and put him in his place. The sudden calmness in the room made him feel uneasy to answer immediately.“What is this? We got another Mama's boy in our midst” A man echoed from a corner.Everybody bursted out laughing, and the building, which was dead silent, swiftly turned into a hall for the loudest cackle. Louis' heart sank to the floor while he felt the cold welcome of everyone sear his flesh away. He hissed at their childish behavior of making him feel worthless but he knew he wasn't at a place where he would be met with open hands and a warm embrace.Louis shook his head in disapproval and finally spoke up. “ If I wanted to go to a circus, I'd take a train. I don't know why you guys are laughing.” his eyes glared furiously at the people

“Are you talking to me or seeking approval?” James asked rhetorically to piss him off “All these low-class humans, always thirsty for attention” James kept on, firing painful words“Get one thing straight: I'm not dying for your attention; you just keep on itching for drama.” Louis paused to swallow the words that were about to come out next. He shut his mouth and waited for the end of the meeting.“What happened? Cat got your tongue.” James kept making fun. “I thought you were about to flare up..”“Please, can we wait till the end of the meeting?” The old man pleaded with obvious dissatisfaction on his face.James held back on any scandalous comments he had on Louis. He couldn't wait for the meeting to end as he tapped his legs impatiently and stared coldly at Louis.Louis braced himself for what was about to come from James the second they stepped out. He sighed heavily and placed his hands on his forehead. “What's wrong with me? Why am I acting timid around him? Maybe I should str

James rushed over taking huge steps towards him. He flung his arms carelessly, making sure to attract the attention of everybody. Louis shook his head in frustration and disapproval before looking away, hoping James would back off.It didn't work. James steadily advanced closer with a wry smile glued to his face. His eyes failed to lose contact with Louis, and he whispered a few words before halting a few meters away from Louis.“Why so quiet? You seem to be worried about something, maybe about how you miscalculated your budget” James looked around to see if anybody understood his joke and was thrilled by the amount of people that laughed about his joke.“No, I'm quiet because the meeting was awfully long, and I need some time to relax my head,” Louis replied; he raised his voice louder to be heard through the different sounds of laughter that reflected, to his ears.Louis used his eyes to quickly scan the room for Chris but he could not find him.

Louis delivered a few successful punches to his opponent's face without hesitation. He decided to let out his frustration on him and beat the shit out of James.James struggled to land a hit on Louis but failed. Louis did not let him land any punches on him as he was rather too slow. The fight kept on going until security guards broke them up.James’ eyes spun around with blurry vision as his nose bled profusely; he could barely stand straight. He fought his best to free himself from the grip of the security guards, but they overpowered him. Louis, on the other hand, remained calm when they held him away from James.His heart pounded heavily, causing him to take deep, loud breaths; his fists remained clenched, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack James again and beat him to his satisfaction.“Let me g.. go, you useless fools!” James yelled; his voice was muffled, and people could tell he was out of breath, but that didn't stop him from verbally abusing Louis and threatening h

“Make it quick, I'm coming over”“Yes sir” Louis ended the call and peered through his window to see if James followed him to his car. He laughed when he remembered the beating he gave to James a few minutes ago. With his body relaxed, he realized that his palms hurt a little. They looked very red and Louis wondered if a vein had torn open.“Damn it, I may have punched that guy a little too hard, I'm going to need some ointment”While driving, he thought of what side Chris would be on now that he declined his offer to sell him his company. The thoughts of Chris making him a target, along with others, upset him. He doubted that Chris would remain neutral. All his years of involving himself with business investments, he learned that whenever a deal doesn't go the way wealthy businessmen want, they'd rather sabotage than leave you be.“I need to distract them if I want my identity safe” Louis stated to himself. His fingers danced lightly on his steering, but he still held it with a fir

Queen nodded slowly to his command and turned to leave. She was halfway through the door when Louis called her back.“Hey, Queen” “Yes, master,” she replied eagerly for his statement.Louis lowered his voice almost to a whisper. “Remember to keep it under wraps” He wondered how they were going to keep it subtle enough to make James unaware of their move. Unlike James, Louis bought the whole share of the company of Low Prop, which was one of his failed business investments in the past; when he finally found his golden goose, he acquired everything in his name In case of trouble.“You have no problem, but if we want to keep Mr James from digging around why he can't buy your other company, I suggest we keep him preoccupied,” Queen stated. Though she loved the idea of Louis entering with a different name, she felt it was too risky for her boss. Most of the competitors ripped the morals out of the game-friendly rivalry, and Louis’ refusal to change his full name before entering also wor

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.

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

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

Well, there's a change of plans.

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.

“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
