“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.

    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

    The envelope was laced with razor-shaped blades. It thrust deep into Louis’ fingers, causing him to yell in pain. The sight of his blood, dripping slowly to the floor enraged him. What kind of sick human hides razors in an envelope slip, Louis thought. He locked in on his position, gearing to send James flying in the hair but stopped at second thought. James had all these planned; he noticed men in black suits and dark shades, subtly standing with alert senses. Their physical build and standing posture gave them away to Louis. He knew they had been stationed to spring out and subdue him if he tried attacking.He tried clasping his hands together but the pain didn't let him. His eyes caught a familiar name on the envelope. The thrilling delight of the men, muttering words in the delight of his hurt, made his blood boil.“If you're wondering what's in the envelope, which you should” James laughed, staring at Louis.“Are we gonna look past the blades you put in it or not” Louis fired,

    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. His breath reeked of stale alcohol, it was so unp

    “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. Luckily we met a man who recognized your car and offered us a ride to meet up with you. I called your driver to describe your location,” Louis asked about the mystery man but they couldn't recall his name or physical features, so t

    “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. He took a step forward, clenching his fist in anger.Meanwhile, Louis stood straight, ready for action; he did not move a step back in fear. The guard came closer

    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! Just open the envelope” Gavin blurted out, thrusting his hands at Zick to grab the envelope.“Don't frickin' rush me and keep your hands to yourself” Zick warned Gavin with a stern gaze at him “If you can't open it, then hand it ove

    “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. What are you going to do?” Louis lashed back at him when Zick stopped him from causing a fight.“You are a failure. You hear me, Louis. You are a failure who can't do anything without us” Veronica rained abuse on Louis. She hated the way Louis talked to them and she retaliated in any way she could. The only person who stayed calm was Kent because
