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
Rise Of The World's Overlord 108. A breach?
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

Mr. Jones reached out for his phone to call the digital forensics team so they could get into action before it became too late but Liam stopped him. With his hand resting on his shoulder, he said, “I will give it a try, if I'm unable to come up with a solution for the breach in twelve hours then you can call in the forensics team.” Alarmed, Mr. Jones pushed his hand into his hair and after tugging on it for a while, he straightened up. “Liam… don't you think it's risky. As it is, we are vulnerable to any sort of attack. The company is at risk here…” “I know. I will do my best to resolve the issue. And if anything happens before I'm able to come up with a solution, I will take the blame for it.” “What are you talking about?” “I will take responsibility.” He said and after a curt bow, he stepped out of the office. With his phone in his hand, he made his way towards the tech department. The staff were busy, handling one task or the other and despite their up and down movement, the

Chapter 110They were still in their positions when Xavier's team leader arrived and then nudged him, “There is a board meeting.” “Board meeting?” The duo asked in unison. “Uhm… it will start in exactly five minutes. You should be there, Williams.” He said. Not sure of what to expect at the board meeting, Liam pulled his feet towards the elevator. Once inside, he began to rack his head, thinking of what would be discussed in the board meeting. When everyone arrived, Mr. Jones rose and then cleared his throat to get their attention. “It's already past work hour and so I will go straight to the point.” He said with a firm tone and then turned to Liam, urging him with his eyes to rise. Liam did as he was instructed only for a pair of twenty four eyes to turn in his direction, making him nervous. “We are lucky to have a genius in our midst, in the person of Mr. Williams Armani. He is a fresh graduate and in a few days, his first month as a staff member of AI tech would be completed

Chapter 111Moments later, he stepped out of the room with Jaime trailing behind. Now in the shopping mall, he began to look around when his eyes fell on Naya shopping with Wren pushing the trolley. Smiling, he took his eyes off her only to return his gaze in her direction the next minute to discover she had disappeared into thin air. “Where did she go?” He muttered. An excited Naya kept on talking to Wren as she shopped for the things she needed. “Aren't you going to tell me why you're super excited today?” Wren asked. “Of course I'm super excited. If you were in my place you would have been all over the moon, I'm being modest here.” She chuckled, placing two plates of diced onions in the trolley. “If I have an idea on why you're excited, then I would know if I will be all over the moon like you claim.” He retorted. Smiling, Naya didn't respond, instead, she swirled around only to bump into Alaric's hard chest. As if that was not enough, she emptied her coffee on him, giving
Rise Of The World's Overlord 112. Why should I believe you?
Chapter 112Due to the large amount of work Liam had to manage, having time for himself seemed impossible. He barely ate his meals, he was heavy on snacks and caffeine consumption. Also, for days, he had been unable to rest his head to get enough sleep. He heads out for work before six am and when he returns, it is almost midnight and so he hasn't been seeing Naya though they kept in touch, sending and replying to messages. This morning, Liam decided to stay back for an extra hour so he would have a little chit chat with Naya. Just when he was about to start making breakfast, his phone began to ring. It was Xavier on the line. “Are you going to leave me hanging on the thin line? If my team leader comes around and discovers I'm yet to finish with this project, I'm doomed.” He yelled. “Why sound like I owe you a favor? The last time I checked, you were the one who solicited my assistance and not the other way around.” He squirmed. Unable to work on the project that had been deleg

Chapter 113Smacking his lips with his hands resting on his table, Liam plopped back on his seat. After speaking with Xavier earlier, he had returned to his office and the only thing on his mind at that moment was how he would be able to track the cars. Through the black box installed on his car, he had managed to see the glimpse of the registration numbers but was unsure if they really existed. Unable to keep his thoughts to himself anymore, he left the office and headed straight for the exit. “Are you leaving already?” It was Mr Jones asking. “Yeah.” He nodded in response and at the same time, he was awaiting him to speak concerning the text he had sent him when he arrived earlier. “About the text… I think something is wrong somewhere. I have looked into it but couldn't even find the slightest clue. Not to worry, Madam Aurelia is already aware of the situation and she had given her words to take actions.” “Yes sir, thank you sir.” Liam did a curt bow after which he slid from

Chapter 114Just when he was about to take a bend into the road that would lead him to the highway, a car rammed into him from behind. Craning his neck to find out who the drunken driver was, he was hit from the side and before he could recover from this, another car came face to face, bashing his car completely. “Shit! What am I going to do now?” He muttered. These cars, knowing fully well that he had tracked down their activities earlier, decided to wait for him in the place he least expected. Liam was still thinking of what to do when the men who were dressed up in black suits began to get off their cars, wielding their baseball bats as it was always seen on TV. The scene scared Liam a bit and he began to blame himself for not picking up a gun from the mansion when he had the chance to. Shutting his eyes tightly, he pushed his hand into his hair while the men looked on. When he refused to step out even after five minutes, a man, who was apparently their leader, jumped on top

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

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

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
