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

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

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
Rise Of The World's Overlord 129. Naya's Testimony.
After a hard day at work, Liam returned home only to be greeted with an empty house. At first, he didn't bother about it but when it seemed they weren't going to return anytime soon, he decided to make a call. Nelson and Naya, after confronting Nathan earlier, were asked to report at the family mansion for questioning by Granny Elena. When Liam's call came in, Naya didn't waste time in picking up. “You don't need to come over, we will be back before you know it.” Naya rapped, pushing her hair away from her face. “What is the issue? I had no idea…” He was still speaking when she cut in. “It's fine. When I return, I will tell you everything in details.” She said with a reassuring tone. Though Liam was a bit bothered, he decided to respect her wish. “Grandma, we need to return home. It's almost nine pm.” Naya said immediately after the call ended.“We are not done yet with the conversation.” Sam slammed. Ever since he heard about Alaric's presence, he had been furious and didn't wa

While waiting for Naya and Nelson to return, Liam was on his laptop when his mother's call came through and at once he received it. With a voice dripping with anger mixed with disappointment, she said, “Alraic went ahead of us.” “What did he do?” Liam asked, trying to stop himself from creating scenarios in his head. “I submitted the evidence to the police, somehow, he learnt of it and then he managed to shut them up. They even went to the extent of destroying the evidence.” “I still have the original with me.” He replied with a calm tone. “You do?” “Yeah, I made a duplicate just like Dave has asked me to. He already sensed something like this was going to happen.” Madam Aurelia went quiet after this. No matter how much she tried to do a background research on Dave and find out who exactly he was, she couldn't come up with anything tangible. “Have you found anything about Dave?” She broke the silence. “Not yet.” Pushing his hand into his hair, he let out a low sigh before sa
Rise Of The World's Overlord 131. A sinister plan.
The long awaited time came when Liam, Nelson and Naya were summoned to the family mansion on a weekend. The hostile look and cold shoulders from the brothers couldn't be missed but Liam being used to it all wasn't bothered. He walked to the living room with Naya by his side and his head raised up high. Immediately they made themselves comfortable, Granny Elena arrived at the top of the stairs and they all rose to acknowledge her presence. “I can't believe you requested to leave because you have a sinister plan.” She yelled, grabbing the arm of the chair she was occupying. A bit confused, Liam looked from Naya to Nelson before returning his gaze to Granny Elena who was still fuming. Still trying to decipher what the issue was, Liam eyes fell on Nathan who was smirking and for a split second, he had this confused look on his face which further made him convinced it was the brothers handiwork. Propping himself up, he returned his gaze to Granny Elena.“Pardon us, we wouldn't do any

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
