"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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He loved the vibes he was getting just from the short while he had been there. The low-tempo sound that filled his ears felt comforting and almost washed away the eerie feeling he had from the awful experience of the first building he entered.The faces of the six people sitting were not very visible and some appeared to be conversing in discreet tones. He wanted to identify who he was meeting with before he sat, so he texted a message to the number because his calls were not going through. A minute went by, and he still stood quietly for a signal from the real investigator; there seemed to be no response of any sort until his phone rang, and fortunately, it was the investigator's number. He hurriedly answered the call and spoke in a low tone.“Hello, this is your client speaking. Where are you? I've gone through some crazy things just to locate you.” The frustration in Louis' tone was louder than his actual words.“I'm sorry about that, I should have been very clear in my text messag

She quickly pulled her arms out of Louis' tight grip and launched her purse straight to his face before she ran out of the bar, screaming cuss words at him. Her departure brought attention to Louis, as all eyes faced him to see his next reaction. He was kept at a crossroads of choices of chasing after the con woman or tending to the text message he received from the investigator.“You are lucky, you caught on to her game before she played you out of your money. Most people only realize when she's miles away with their money in Nevada” A man echoed, which made Louis turn his neck after a loud sigh.It was the tattered-looking man who kept peering his neck in Louis' direction. He spoke at the top of his voice like he was merry for seeing Louis and he had a wide grin on his face. He walked closer to Louis, swinging his arms jovially.“I'm pretty sure she'd be looking for her next target to dupe,” the man said after getting close to Louis.

“I want information on my family,” Louis revealed in a low and uncertain voice. Her attitude toward him made his senses tingle, but he assumed it was a natural feeling around private investigators. She looked the part of an investigator and her subtle appearance convinced him she was the real deal.“Your family?” She laughed quietly.”That's a classic. Most of my clients always have an issue with their family or their wives. It's pretty common” “Mine's different. I need to know what they are hiding” Louis replied. He placed his arms on the table and reduced his voice to a whisper.“I don't think you want to know the shady part of your family. That is the advice I always tell the curious clients I always encounter” She sounded like she was trying to scare him off, a feeble attempt by the woman for Louis to validate her method. The austere expression on her face felt forced, and for some reason, she kept fixing her eyes in his shoes.“If I don't, then why the hell would I want to meet

His driver honked at him, a futile gesture to compel him to hop in. He could not wait to take Louis home and have a rest after an almost fatal journey. The impatience was vivid in his forced smile that widened awkwardly.Louis snapped out of his thoughts and opened the door but waited a few minutes before he entered. "I have to get to the roots of this," Louis muttered. He nodded his head and glanced at the shed, which was now empty, as people who were trapped in the rain rushed to their various places. " Something is going on and I have to find out before they bury it deep into the ground" He decided not to block Kent's number; he had a subtle plan of using him as a channel to extract information. Though Kent often joined his family in the awful things they did to him, he was easily manipulated and was easily frightened at little threats sent his way. That was the quality he could use to his advantage. Louis archived his number and deleted the unsaved number that Zick and Veronica u

“Stand down! Stand down, let him speak” Louis quickly commanded. He rushed in to help the innocent man from the ground. “I'm really sorry, they were only doing their job” Louis apologized as he tried dusting the hoard of sands from his body. Even his face was covered in dust.“Damn it! They did not have to go so hard on me. The way they pounced on me felt very painful” the man complained. It was futile dusting the sand away from his body because of how soaked he was, he could only hiss in disappointment and grumble out words. The man gestured to Louis to stop trying to dust the dirt off because he was only going to spread it. Louis obeyed and felt willing to thank him for avoiding commotion even if it meant losing his job.“Nah, it's okay. I was getting sick of the inhumane treatment already. I just needed something to make me confident about quitting, and luckily, it was you,” the man said, stopping Louis from apologizing further.“I still feel like I cost you your job, it must have

Louis felt the cold wind of the rain sweep off the warmth from his skin, causing shivers to run down his spine. He stood close to the door, his left hand still on the doorknob and his right hand clutching his pocket to feel his license. After a few seconds, he huffed and let go of the knob, taking two steps forward and stopping to wait for his driver, who was running to the car, to drive closer to him.A thought flashed through his mind concerning his bodyguard's entrance, which he did not expect. He left with only one bodyguard, and somehow, the three he left found their way to him.“How did you guys meet up with me,” he asked the guard on his right-hand side.“We stood by your car, but the umbrellas were just not strong enough to shield us from the rain.

“What are you waiting for? Go ahead and do what I asked you” Selena yelled, hitting the guard at the shoulder. The bodyguard salivated nervously because that wasn't his job, and he looked scared to pick a fight with Louis, who exuded a deadly aura from his stare alone.“I'm sorry ma'am, I can't…”The slap on his face stopped him from completing his statement. He remained stunned for at least three seconds from the burning sensation of the slap.“Will you obey me now?” she thundered. “What are you still waiting for?”The man had not fully recovered from the first hit on his face before she launched two successive slaps to his face, panting speedily at him. She pointed at Louis and yelled for her guard to spring into action. The man exhaled angrily, he looked at Gavin and turned to Louis, huffing loudly as their eyes met his.

Questions spread through the air as Zick hurriedly ran forward to catch the envelope. Selena gasped in fear for her life, thinking that Louis was about to bring out a gun and threaten them; he looked very menacing at the moment.Zick caught the envelope and refused to open it, His heart beating fast with trepidation. What was in the envelope? And why did he have a certain look of doom upon him? These questions raced Zick's mind as his hate for Louis intensified. He couldn't figure out what the envelope contained with just a bare touch, so he fought with his curiosity to open it.“What is it?” Veronica asked as they gathered around Zick with troubled faces; only Hank and his wife, Selena, remained calm without any emotions visible on their faces.“Damn it!

“You purposely want to get on my nerves, Louis, and I don't know why,” Selena said, loosening her grip on her husband's hands. The situation was getting heated and she was getting ready to lose her cool.“Ohh, I'm not getting on anyone's nerves. I'm just not used to the pretense I'm seeing. You guys are normally rude when addressing me; why the fake act?” Louis said, raising his voice for everyone to hear him.“Just shut up! I'm tired of your stupid behavior” Gavin yelled. He rushed to defend his mother. From the way he stormed towards Louis, he could feel Gavin was gonna pounce on him, so he knuckled his fist in preparation.“And if I don't.
