Rise Of The World's Overlord 101. "He is cold hearted."
Chapter 101Immediately he finished speaking with his mother, Liam returned to the rest of the team who were waiting for him to finish up. “I'm sorry, I needed to receive they call.” He said, taking his position beside Dave who was looking around the vicinity. While Sam chattered, talking about his experience at somewhere he had paid a visit to, Liam was staring intently at Dave. Nudging him after a while, he said, “Are you this quiet?” “Uhm… do you want me to speak with you?” Dave asked, giving him a quick glance before kicking a stone and sending it into the air. “Not really.” Liam chuckled. Pushing his hand into his hair, he tugged on it for a while before saying, “You see, I'm not really a fan of quiet people. Their silence makes me so uncomfortable and…” “You think I'm brewing something evil in my head.” He interrupted, giving him a brief look. “Come on, that's not it.” Still chuckling, Liam placed his hand around his neck, “Even at that, I'm scared of you.” He replied, sm

Chapter 102Now seated on the couch with his legs across the other, Mr. Jones was staring at Dave. Just like Liam had a mixed feeling about his presence in the team, he too developed those feelings but after a little research, all his worries went into the thin air. The reason he had provided them with vague information was because he didn't want to get too involved; otherwise, all the praises would be ascribed to him and not the boys who had worked so hard to see to the success of the mission. “You seem versatile and so you're the best person to handle this job.” he said, giving Dave a thumbs up which he didn't react to. Seconds later, Sam was standing in front of Dave and with his hands wrapped across his chest, he parted his lips in a bid to start speaking but he didn't get the chance. “Are you good at stalking?” Dave asked, brushing past him. “Stalking?” “Yeah. You're going to stalk Tyler Moore… just in case, he has a black belt in taekwondo, swift and slippery.” “What?”
Rise Of The World's Overlord 103. ...pardon me
Chapter 103Instead of the manager letting Dave go like Kaiser had wanted, he pulled him to his office and after yelling at him, asked him to take the night off. Falling on his knees, Dave placed his hand together, “Pardon me, this won't repeat itself, I promise.” He cried, making the manager's head burst with pride. “Fine, you can stay but avoid serving those guys.” He said and after giving his shoulder a friendly pat, he asked him to leave. Now outside the casino, Sam who had been notified of the failed mission immediately pulled him to the side. “Are you alright?” He asked, concern written all over his face as he peered into his eyes. “Yeah.” Dave nodded, digging his hand into his hair. Feeling bad for Dave who was at the verge of breakthrough, Sam pulled him into a hug only to receive a punch on his chin. “Have you lost it?” Rubbing his aching cheeks with a scowl on his face, Sam yelled, “I was trying to comfort you. I know what it feels to be a loser.” “Discard those clo
Rise Of The World's Overlord 104. Stop acting tough.
Chapter 104With his life flashing before his very eyes, Liam continued his death race against time. He already knew something of this sort was going to happen and so he had fully equipped himself for it. While leaving the library earlier, he had stolen a book which he intended to return when it was all over. Seeing that no matter what he did, these men who were desperate to get into the good books of their boss were going to catch up with him, he fell onto the ground with a thud, feigning to be tired. From their safe corner where they were watching the scene, Sam was already shaking with fear. Several times already, he had suggested to Dave that they would go rescue him but he had blatantly refused, saying he would pull through on his own. It was already getting so intense and when Sam couldn't take it anymore, he broke from Dave's grip only to find himself lying on the ground with blood in his mouth.“Stop acting tough when you're not. Liam will pull through this, stay back and
Rise Of The World's Overlord 105. "No...he is scary."
Chapter 105Half an hour before the plane would land on the airstrip, Mr. Jones went about waking the sleepy boys who still showed signs of being tired from the mission. When the plane finally landed, each with their bag hanging on their shoulders made their way towards the stairs. “Thank you so much for making this mission a successful one.” Mr. Jones said on the top of his voice. “Can we leave already? I need to get a lot of rest.” Dave said, wiping his eyes with the back of his palm. Due to his involvement in something he had sworn to pull himself from, he had difficulty being sleepy during the flight. “Yes and please ensure you get enough rest.” “Yes sir.” Sam yawned, drawing his feet after Dave who was heading towards the taxi that was going to convey them to their various destinations.Just when Liam was about to go with them, Mr. Jones pulled him back making him wince. Like the others, he was tired and was in a dire need of rest. “I will come over during the day.” He said
Rise Of The World's Overlord 106. Blood Ties?
Chapter 106A few minutes later, the light came on and with a speed of lightning, Liam located the room he had met with his mother the last time. As usual, there were guards loitering all over the place but they didn't stop him since they all felt he worked for Madam Aurelia. Immediately he got to the door, Mr. Jones stepped out and with a worried look on his face grabbed his shoulders, staring into his eyes in search of answers. “What happened? I had no idea you weren't tagging along until I arrived.” He rapped. Still searching his face, he asked, “And why are you running, is anyone after you?” Before Liam could even think of giving a response, Mr. Jones turned around and then snapped his fingers, “Look around.” He commanded the guards who immediately dispersed in all directions. “Sir, I don't think it's necessary.” Liam said when he finally steadied his heavy breathing. “We need to ensure maximum security here.” Not wanting to go further with his words, Liam nodded. Grasping
Rise Of The World's Overlord 107. Calm down!
Chapter 107After a while, Liam pulled away from his mom who was still holding onto his arms. She wanted to press on with her demand of spending the night with her but she felt she was going to tip him off with her persistence so she held back from doing so. “Mom, I will be heading out now.” Liam broke the three minutes silence in the room and with his hand resting on his bag, he did a curt bow and then turned to leave. “Son… your identity has been changed.” “Changed? Why, what are you talking about?” A confused Liam asked as he searched her face for answers. “Calm down… you are so worried.” She chuckled. “Of course mom, my identity… I don't understand what you're talking about.” “What I'm saying is, since you passed the second test, which is the just concluded mission, you earned yourself a new identity. Don't worry, you will soon find out.” She sent him a wink before reaching out for her phone. After speaking to the person on the other end, she returned her gaze to Liam who

Chapter 108When Liam woke up the next morning, he quickly cleaned up the mess they had created and then took Naya to her room. Now sitting on the edge of his bed, he was staring into space as his grasped his head with both hands. He was experiencing the aftermaths of drinking too much the previous night. Still in this state, his phone began to buzz against his study table and with a grunt, he reached out for it. Turns out to be Mr. Jones on the line. “Sir…” “I know you aren't supposed to be at work today but you have to come as soon as possible.” He said with a tone of urgency which made Liam's heart start racing. “Is it… never mind, I will be there as soon as possible.” He said and before the lines could disconnect, he was already in the bathroom to clean up. At first, he wanted to leave without making breakfast but he made a u-turn and then returned to make breakfast only for Naya since he didn't have enough time to sit for breakfast. “I'm off.” He yelled, standing in the m

262. The End.
Six months later… The county had returned to normalcy after a thorough reform was put in place. To honor those that had made it happen, a mass meeting was organized where all members of the country were invited to be a witness to. Tyler Greene, the newly appointed President, was present in the mass meeting, being an icon in the revamped version of the country. His face was brightly marked with excitement, as he left the smile on his face and was distributing it to the citizens, who were seeing him. They had come in their masses as they wanted to witness the occasion first hand."First, I'll formally announce the reason for his honorable, reasonable and democratic meeting." Tyler started, his voice cool at first, accompanied with the sound of his laughter. "We all know about the change in the course of events in this country and those who made it happen.." Tyler spoke with clear gladness and couldn't hide it. Tyler's vice was beside him, holding a thick colored banner in his han

261. It's all in the past.
Daniel's voice was loud, as he kept making gestures with his hands. He was seated with his friends, conversing with them about the current news that spread around the country. Suddenly, someone rushed into their midst and exclaimed, "I heard another news…" "What's that, boy?" Daniel said, his voice breaking confidently, as if he would not be shaken by Liam's dealings. "Tell me, what's the news?" "The deal you made…" the boy started, but as soon as Daniel realized it was about a deal, he took the boy to a side to continue their talk in whispers. "The deal you strongly made and stamped with Karl had been released and broadly spread!" "What deal?" Daniel questioned him out of shock, and was rubbing his face until he stopped, as asked the boy again, "I don't get you. What deal?" "The chip infusion." The boy replied, his voice lighter as soon as he sensed anger in Daniel's voice."What!" Daniel reacted, as he nearly collapsed. "You know what? Just run away!" "To where?" The boy ask

260. What's the news?
Alaric had gone back to the operating room, and was still in bed. Fortunately, the surgeon realized he was all right. Alaric was totally healed, but he happened to have lost his memory. His constant surrender to Karl was all robotic. He was later brought from the operation room to a ward, on instruction that he needed to rest. "Hello?" A surgeon asked him. "What do you feel now?" "Feel what?" Alaric returned, his voice clear but light. "What do you mean?" "Oh, I know you're just coming back to normalcy…" the surgeon said, turning to his colleagues. "Do you think he is totally okay?" "Yeah," another surgeon responded, walking up to Alaric to check on him. "I think we should seek the attention of the senior surgeon, so he can see him." "Is that necessary?" The first surgeon questioned in return, holding her lips as she smiled. "Well, you can. At least, he is all right." Soon, the senior surgeon was around. He turned to the first surgeon and whispered to her ears, "I hope no chi

259. "Take this call!"
Kaylan didn't perform less than she was asked to do. She had spread the news of Rodriguez's illegal dealings vastly. Liam had ordered the release of the article which contained almost everything about Rodriguez and Karl. Rodriguez had felt comfortable with Karl's soothing words, continuing his illegal business with Karl became easy for him that he had no remorse, and even hid his fears about any form of leakage. "How far have you gone with the task I gave you?" Liam asked Kaylan, his voice deep but clear, an expression of his excitement. "In what state could the biotech company be, right now?" He mused. "I've forwarded the news to my team." Kaylan replied, returning a clearer tone in her own voice. "It will reach the masses easily that way…""I'll prove to Karl that I can thwart his schemes and nullify all his tricks." Liam chuckled, his voice making him sound like a villain and threatening Karl's attitude as though he was present. "Exactly, Liam." Kaylan responded in agreement.

258. I have evidence...
To spice up their plans, Liam had mailed a flashdrive to Rodriguez. The flash drive contained all the information they had gathered about him and Karl. Rodriguez made up his mind not to return the flash drive as he had a conclusion that something important was attached to it and so he was curious to find out the content. With that he made his way back to his office and as the Chief Justice he sat behind his imposing mahogany desk in the room.His eyes were fixed on the small, sleek flash drive that had been tossed on the table. The audacity of Liam to think of doing this hit him but he smiled while the question popped in his mind.Who did he think he was, trying to blackmail him?What was on his mind?Curiosity getting the better of him, Rodriguez inserted the drive into his computer and waited as the files began to load. Suddenly, the screen flickered to life, revealing an array of documents and recordings. Rodriguez's eyes widened on seeing the images which had himself includ

257. A risk we must take.
Madam Aurelia began walking in circles inside the living room as thoughts of what they were going to do next consumed her thoughts. She was still recovering from what she had seen in the file that Dave had brought, and the evidence was sickening. There was no doubt as to whether Karl and Rodriguez were crooks, and should they manage to expose them, it would definitely influence the outcome in their favor.Liam walked into the room, “Did you manage to find anything good among the papers?” He inquired, looking eager and hopeful.“Yes.” Madam Aurelia replied, gripping the folder firmly. “There are records of money movement as well as transactions which are quite illicit. If we conduct this campaign in the proper manner and present the right audiences with this evidence, the extent of Karl and Rodriguez’s dealings… It would be interesting corruption news that will come to light.”“Then we have no time to waste.” Liam affirmed in his stern tone. “Whatever this information gives us, they

256. This is perfect!
Liam stepped out of Tyler Greene’s office with a heavy heart, blaming himself for keeping his expectations high. He had wanted a better answer than that. However, Tyler’s indecision was a cause for concern. Time was running fast and voices of opposition against Karl were still weak. During the drive home, Liam found himself troubled. Would Tyler really lend his support for the cause? Or was he simply yet another hindrance in their efforts? He needed to collect his mind and think of a way out but he was too worried to even think properly. Instead of heading to him, Liam headed to the hotel to meet with Madam Aurelia who sat in the living room in the living room on his arrival. Her face was solemn, though she appeared to be happy with his arrival. “How did the meeting with Tyler go?” she asked, concern evident in her tones.“It didn’t go as well as I hoped.” Liam admitted, ruffling his hair. “He is not willing to take any actions against Karl, and I am afraid he has no nerves f

255. We need to strategize...
Liam stood still only to start pacing about because he was restless. He began to plan what step to take after Alaric's revelation. He was desperate to put an end to Daniel and Karl but he didn’t know how to go about it. He felt like an ill-fated knight who had lost everything; the very thought of Harrison now felt as if it was a heavy stone placed over him.Madam Aurelia was seated on the table sorting some papers. “We need to strategize on how best we are going to eliminate Karl.” Her tone was firm although not loud. “It is not enough to just wait and see what he intends to do next.” She added, casting him a glance. “Of course I understand,” Liam answered and twirls his hair with his fingers. “But what can we do? There is too much influence and too many people surrounding him.”At this point, Giovanni dashed into the living room, his eyes darkened as he looked around, “Liam!” he shouted – gasping for air. “Daniel and Karl are up to something. We must hurry before it is too late.”

254. This is very bad.
Alaric felt dejected in that small dingy room as he was at a stand still. He found himself strapped to a chair with metal rings cutting deep into his wrists. On the other side of the room, Xavier was strutting around confident with a sneer on his face. “Look at you now, Alaric ” Xavier said as he put his hands on his hips and laughed. “Formerly you had stature, nowadays you are just a flat back guy. What do you think about it?”Alaric turned his gaze toward him, internal rage reflected on his face. “You think this is a joke? You’re a mere puppet in Karl’s shadow. You will realize that one day.”Xavier let out another laugh. “Karl is top management. You would have done better staying with him. Instead, you went soft and turned the other way, and now look what this has led you to.”“Break all the connections with Karl.” Alaric spoke in a strained tone. “He’ll drain you dry. You will end up exactly like me.”Xavier shook his head but his grin had gone away. “You do not get it. This is
