2024-12-13 22:33:52After 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. It would help me get a solid standing against them,” Louis stated in an austere manner, he planned to keep things official between them rather than let his eyes control him.
Queen gave a quick nod, her eyes showing approval of his immediate curiosity against his opponents. She led him inside a black car that stood out from others in terms of elegance and quality.
Her hands slithered through some high-profile documents she held carefully.
“I'm sure you don't like things being sugar-coated, so I'm just going to be honest. There are bigger companies who play dirty and pick on smaller companies for fun,” she uttered, her voice calmer than usual. It gave Louis the impression that she meant to relay how deadly the competition would be.
Louis snapped his finger and smirked intently. “We have never won this game before, right?” He asked. One thing he loved was tackling challenges and outwitting people in his field.
“No sir, but we always come close to coming out on top, but somehow we are always bested in one way or the other,” Queen replied; she looked away from his gaze, a little bit ashamed at her answers.
“Well, maybe you haven't been playing the game the right way.” Louis crossed his arms, confident about his statement. His posture made it obvious that he couldn't wait to come out on top.
“I don't know how to prove that, but the company's name is enough to strike fear in rival opponents.” Queen stretched out a document for him to look through. Louis hesitated for a second, but her aura whispered how important the documents were.
Louis scanned the document carefully, quite surprised at what he saw. The documents contained the names of companies that entered the game. Companies that surpassed trillions of dollars filled the top numbers, it was like they waited a century for this opportunity.
“I didn't expect them to be this many. What number are we?” Louis asked, his eyes still staring at the document, he looked at it seriously in a manner that suggested he was circling out companies that would pose a problem to him.
She gaped at him and responded quietly so he would not be distracted “One hundred and twenty-four companies have staked their claim so far and we haven't entered yet”
Louis suddenly stopped, his eyes shone with vigor as he clasped his left hand. Queen gasped in surprise at his reaction, she couldn't tell if he was happy at her reply. She lightly pinched herself, prompting her to explain further.
“Mayor Sam suggested we wait for your confirmation before making our entrance public,” her voice longed for a reply from Louis. She couldn't deal with the shady reaction Louis exuded.
“This is very good. I thought you guys had entered already, but this makes it very great for us” Louis gave an approving nod, his smirk widened like a villain with a plan against his enemy.
Queen gaped confusingly at him, tapping her feet silently as she wondered why he felt excited at her reveal.
“I'm sorry, sir, but why do you think it's great for us?” she inquired with her eyebrows slightly raised.
“I'll answer your question but first I need to ask you a question”
“Go on sir”
“The previous times we entered the company college competition, how many times did people know we entered publicly with our official name?” Louis turned towards her, his face eager for a positive answer.
Louis’ question seemed to make her more tense and confused as she swallowed a large gulp of saliva and stealthily bit her lips “Every time we entered, we used our company’s name. It deters other companies from picking on us” she replied, pressing her teeth hard against each other and thought if she had made a wrong move all those while.
“Exactly what I wanted to hear, we can use the late entry to the company college as an advantage” Louis rested his back on the car seat and handed the paper back to his assistant.
She placed the paper back into a brown new envelope and waited for him to give her instructions. She knew Louis liked the late entrance to the company college but she didn't know why. Her eyes filled up with confusion and her lips pressed against each other awkwardly without control.
Louis googled a list of random names on his phone and hissed at most of the results. He kept on scrolling gently with his full focus. He looked for a specific name he would recognize in a whiff.
All this while, Queen just sat there making casual glances at the driver or her envelope. She repeated this action continually until Louis clenched his fingers in approval of his results.
He looked at her with high spirits and gave a command, “We are not entering with our official name. This time, we will do it differently; we'll enter with a secret name.” he snapped his finger as he spoke.
Queen’s expression heavily begged for an explanation for his sudden change in procedure. She wanted clarity as to why he decided to enter with a different name.

“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. He kept on looking with his eyes at d

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

Louis laughed it off and made light of the situation. He had never been in a situation that caused him to have guards protecting him.“What am I? The president of this state. This situation is too light to have me suited up like I am the number one most hated man”The statement felt hilarious to him and he felt very obliged to make her less concerned about his safety.“Nobody even knows I'm the boss of a trillion-dollar company, so why draw attention?”Queen made a tired sigh before backing her suggestions with facts” I am sure you know even musicians and actors keep a guard with them whenever they step out”“They do that to repel crazy fans away from them” Louis chimed in hastily to cut her off.Queen inhaled deeply, brushing her hair to the side in one scoop before replying, “My point is, as the owner of this successful company, it Will be very bad if you get jumped or attacked. Rich people don't joke about their safety”“If it's about my safety, I can protect myself. Maybe I will h

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 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.

“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
