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
Rise Of The World's Overlord 123. An impromptu meeting?
Nelson was about to start asking more questions when Naya joined them with a tray that held two mugs of steaming cocoa. “Are you certain you will be able to wait until after breakfast?” She asked Liam as she placed a mug in front of him. “What are you up to?” Liam asked. “I want to prepare a large breakfast. I know you will be skipping lunch. It wouldn't be bad if you have lunch and breakfast at once.” She chuckled while Liam laughed, trying to get the image of Nathan from his head. He wanted to ask if she had spoken to Nathan recently but since he didn't want to spark up any flames just yet, he kept mute. “I will help you, so he won't run late for work.” Nelson offered and together, they returned to the kitchen. While they were making breakfast, Liam was working on his laptop to pass the time. Suddenly, an anonymous email popped up on his screen.Liam didn't click on it immediately, instead, he kept staring at the notification as he contemplated what to do.After what seemed l
Rise Of The World's Overlord 124. ...involved in an accident
Immediately it was the official closing hours, Liam gathered his belongings and then began to head towards the exit. He was already placing his ID card on the sensor when Mr. Jones walked up to him. “Are you leaving already?” “Yeah, is there an issue?” He was searching his face for an answer but he didn't give any expression away. “I'm sorry for indulging you during your leave period. You can decide when you next want to go on a leave and I will grant it.” “Yes sir, thank you.” He replied with a little bow. He wanted to give the file containing the decrypted message to him so he would pass it to his mother but on a second thought, he held onto it like it was his second skin. He was already stepping out of the building when he turned around and then began to run after him until he got to where he stood. “Sorry to bother you, please pass this to my mother.” He said, pushing the envelope into his hand. “I will.” Liam was about to say something else but his ringing phone interrupt
Rise Of The World's Overlord 125. Target.
Laughing, Nathan titled his head to the back, causing several pairs of eyes to turn in his direction. All the while, Liam was trying to find the perfect time to accost him for his attempted murder but he had to restrict himself. He didn't want to do anything that would make his mother mad at him. While they were still talking, his phone beeped, it was a message from his mother. 'I received the message. Alaric is on your tail now.’ Blinking his eyes rapidly, Liam tried to remember who was named Alaric and why he was after him. At this point, he began to wish he didn't agree to help Naya. At least, matters like this wouldn't be arising and he would be living happily with Rose. He was at the verge of yelling out his lungs when Nathan said, “Allow him, we should stop restricting him from getting involved in the family affairs. Moreover,he just said he is a man and can handle stuff on his own.” He rapped, rolling his eyes at him. “It's time you guys stop the hate. Liam hasn't done a
Rise Of The World's Overlord 126. Who are you...
Just when one of the men was about to pull the handle of Liam's door, Dave appeared from nowhere and then tapped his shoulder. “What are you doing?” He asked with a tiny voice feigning to be scared. To make it look more real, he was rubbing his hands on the fabric of his pants as he darted his eyes around. “Who are you?” The man asked, turning in his direction. Meanwhile, Liam was slowly passing out. He was scared that his life was finally going to come to an end even before he started it. “My boss is going to kill me if he finds out someone got into this car other than me.” He rapped. Pushing his hand into his pocket, he pulled out an ID and before he could get a proper view of it, he slipped it back in his pocket. “Please, I don't want to lose my job.” They were still going back and forth when Alaric called out to his man and after a few minutes, they all headed inside the casino. Now seated in the passenger's seat of the car, Dave pulled out his laptop and then connected a fl
Rise Of The World's Overlord 127. Stop nagging!
Naya spent the whole day studying in her bedroom and by the time she stepped out, it was already evening. “Why didn't you call me?” She said, staring accusingly at Nelson who was watching a movie at that time. “I thought you were asleep, sorry.” He said with a little wink before returning his gaze to the TV.Not satisfied with the response he had given, she walked around, turned off the TV and with her hands resting on her waist, she appeared in front of him. “Are you still mad at what I said during breakfast?” She asked, shielding his view as he craned his neck. “No, why?” “You didn't bother to check on me all through the day and now you're claiming I was asleep. Even if I was asleep, you should have at least checked on me, to find out if everything was alright.” “Please grow up and stop nagging.” He hissed, trying to leave the living room but she pulled him backwards. This time around, with a grave tone, she asked, “Is everything alright? You don't look good.” “I should be t
Rise Of The World's Overlord 128. Get out...
Still smiling at her, Alaric closed the gap that separated them and then pushed his hand forward, gesturing to her to take it. Slowly, Naya shifted her gaze to Nelson who was already staring at her. He was wondering who he was and what relationship they shared. “Naya.” Alaric called with a little voice. “I'm sorry, I can't go with you until I meet with the manager. He had restricted us from leaving and I don't know why.” She shrugged, showing the extent of her frustration. “I know why.” He chuckled, making the siblings snap their heads upwards at once. “What are you talking about?” Naya asked with an eye roll. Holding more tightly to Nelson, she pulled herself up and he followed suit, “Don't tell you were the one who asked him to hold us hostage.” She said, eliciting a nod and coy smile from him. “I can't believe you are this petty.” She huffed, rolling her eyes at him. She was filled with anger and no matter how much she tried, she couldn't contain it. “Who are you?” Nelson as
