Rise Of The World's Overlord 115. You succeeded in scaring me!
Chapter 115Nelson just arrived at the family mansion. If it was before, Naya would have been yelling his name from the door as she ran towards him but there was nothing of that sort. Pushing his head backwards, he let out a low wince, disappointment racking through him. When she informed him of her marital status, he was downcast but there was nothing he could do, rather to sit back and worry from a distance. If he had told her how he felt, she was going to act overboard and he didn't want that to happen so he kept it to himself. He was granted permission to take a leave the previous day and so he had decided to spend it with his family. Naya had no idea about this, otherwise, she would have been waiting for him in her family mansion. Immediately he stepped into the living room, Sam and Nathan who were chattering stopped at once, staring at him with widened eyes.They were scared of him not only because he belonged to the army but because he commanded more authority than them.

Chapter 116For the next few minutes that followed, Nelson was just staring at them. He didn't believe them a bit, their tone, lengthy time before answering questions and their uneasiness was evidence that they were hiding something from him. After what seems like forever, he clasped his hand together and then leaned forwards with a little smile tugging the side of his lips. “We know how Naya behaves whenever she is drunk, why did you allow her to go out alone at night…” he couldn't complete what he had to say when Nathan slammed his fist against the table. “You're speaking in her favor because she is your little sister. Other than that, you wouldn't be making this instance.” Nathan said. “I support him fully. Moreover, we are busy, always at work, do you expect us to be keeping tabs on a grown up who can't take care of herself.” Sam said. “Keeping tabs on a grown up you say? How then were you able to find out that she had a one night stand?” He snapped at him. “Thinking of this

Chapter 117Naya, already thinking about her dinner date with Liam, was grinning from side to side as she went about picking out clothes from her closet. She had placed more than three of her favorite dresses on her bed but she wanted more. She wanted to look so beautiful to Liam that evening and so she didn't mind going any length to make it happen. After several minutes of trying to come up with the perfect dress for the occasion, she settled for a blue gown that showed her shape. When she was done, she went ahead to apply her makeup, ensuring that she was careful in carrying out this little project like she had termed it without any mistake. Now standing behind the mirror, she began to admire herself, twirling around to ensure she had a good view of her body. “Perfect! I think I should go into modeling, rather than asking others if they are models.” She said with an eye roll. Grabbing her purse off the table, she headed straight for her door and soon she was in the garage wit
Rise Of The World's Overlord 118. Stop it!
Chapter 118On arrival at the restaurant, Naya got in, leaving Wren in the car. While they were still on the way, she had begged him profusely to join them but he had refused saying he doesn't eat fast food. Now seated against the table she had chosen for them, her gaze was fixed on the entrance and so she was having a clear view of who was walking into the restaurant and those who were leaving. A few minutes later, yet Liam was nowhere to be found. She wasn't worried about this since she felt it was his job that had held him back. To keep herself busy, she began to scroll through her phone in search of something interesting to invest her time into. Smiling at the pictures she had taken with Rose at the hospital on her last visit, she started to make plans on her next visit. With just a few visits, she had found herself endeared to Rose already and didn't mind spending the whole day with her if she had the chance to do so. Doing this took her time but she had no idea about it un
Rise Of The World's Overlord 119. Spilled information...
Pushing his hand into his hair, Liam slowly lowered himself on the next seat, “I'm sorry, I should leave.” He said the next minute, pulling himself up. Before he could even take a step, Naya grabbed his arm, “Why? Is anything the issue?” She asked with a look of worry on her face. Suddenly, her eyes caught the injury spot which was prominent because of the large patch of blood. She was about to mention it to him, when Nelson rose, “You shouldn't be here.”“Nelson.” Naya called, disappointment written all over her face. She was scared that Nelson was going to create a scene like he always does whenever he was pissed. She tried to square off with him but Liam was quick to stop her. Smiling at him, he pushed his hand forward, “I'm William's Armani, nice to see you Nelson.” He said. The angry look on Nelson's face disappeared and it was replaced with curiosity. This was the first time they were meeting yet he already knew his name. Thinking it was Naya who had spilled information abo

Chapter 120After dinner, they got into Naya's car and then Wren drove them to the station.Liam's car had been condemned because of the hit it had received and so the towing services had towed it out of the road so it would cause accidents in the near future. During the drive Naya wouldn't stop talking to Nelson and he responded to every word and emotion just like she had wanted it. Liam who was seated with Wren at the front had his hand resting on his head as he stared out of the window. The night was colorful because of the neon street light that adorned the city. If it was before, he would get lost in the beauty but with several thoughts running through his head at the same time, he couldn't concentrate. Deep down, he knew it was an insider attack and he was wondering who it was.It was going to be hard because he couldn't find anything useful in tracking the men that had attacked him and from what they had said, they were employed by a person with no identity. “Are you bothe
Rise Of The World's Overlord 121. Making up scenarios...
Now seated behind his study table in his room, Liam was rubbing his nape, staring at the laptop which was just getting booted on. With the tone his mother had used, he didn't need anyone to tell him that she was furious and wouldn't mind going any length to ensure that the people who were involved would be fished out promptly. He was still staring at the screen of his laptop when his mother's call came through and at once he received it. “Mom…” he called, biting the side of his lips. “Are you home now?” She asked and he nodded before answering, “Yes, I got in not too long ago.” Madam Aurelia who was seething with anger as she paced around her office refused to say a word and Liam on his part was patient, knowing fully well that she was somewhere trying to cool off. When it was getting to quarter of an hour without a word from her, he became scared. He didn't allow his mind to start making up scenarios for him before he yelled, “Mom, are you okay?” “I'm son.” She replied with a
Rise Of The World's Overlord 122. "Good luck with your search."
The next morning, after barely getting enough sleep, Liam groped his way to the bathroom to clean up. Since Nelson was around, he wasn't going to hurry out, instead, he was going to have breakfast with them. Apart from his presence, he has already made that decision the previous day. While cleaning his teeth, his phone began to ring, guessing it was his mother on the line, he quickly dashed into his room and then recovered his phone. “Mom.” He called, placing the device against his ear. “Hope you had a good night's rest.” She asked. “Yeah, what about you?” “I'm okay.” Now applying shaving cream on his jaw to shave his stubbles, he kept on staring at the screen of his phone since she had gone mute again. After what seems like forever, she took in a deep breath before saying, “I'm sorry about how I had reacted last night. I was so mad that I couldn't control my rage, making me speak harshly to you.” “Come on mom, you did nothing wrong so you shouldn't be apologizing. I understan

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
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
