Rise Of The World's Overlord 134. Fix some puzzle pieces together
Thanks to the tracking and wiretapping device, Dave was able to get first hand information of what Nathan was up to. Earlier, when he got a hint about it, he had refused to spill it until he was certain about it but now that he was, he decided to get Liam and Naya involved. Suddenly, Naya pulled herself off her chair and with her hands resting on her waist, she walked up to Dave who was trying to fix some puzzle pieces together. “Mind if I join you?” She asked, plopping next to him. “If I had needed your help, I would have asked for it.” He retorted, not even bothering to look in her direction. “I don't intend to help you in the first place, I wanted to ask a question instead.” “Shoot.” Naya took in a deep breath and after darting her eyes around for a while, she focused her gaze on him. “Why did you suggest I see him in Liam's company?” “So he would know you're married and he would steer clear from you. Nathan is adventurous, it wouldn't be long before he finds a way to push
Rise Of The World's Overlord 135. State of dilemma.
Immediately after the call, Nathan tossed his phone on the table and then plopped on the foot of his bed. With his head buried in his palm, he began to brainstorm, trying to wrap his head around Alaric's revelation. “No way. I never told them about pairing Naya with him, how come they knew about it.” He groaned. Still in this state of dilemma, the door flung open and Sam stepped in. He had been calling his phone but he wasn't picking up so he thought all was not well. “What is the issue this time around?” Sam asked, resting his back against the wall. Nathan, pissed and perturbed at the same time, didn't waste time in telling him everything Alaric had said to him. “How did they find out?” Sam asked, plopping on the couch. “That which I don't know.” He took a pause before he continued, “The thing that baffles me is, we don't have our conversation on phone and so there is no way Liam would have hacked into my device.” he hissed, digging his hand into his hair. The following day a

Drumming his finger against the wooden table, Nathan was shaking his legs as he waited for the technician who was yet to return with any positive result. Since Naya was maintaining her stance that she had only worked with her instinct, he smelt something fishy so he employed the services of a technician to look through his car, just in case he finds a foreign object. “Has he found anything yet?” Sam asked, strolling into the balcony where Nathan was waiting for a response. “Not yet. But I know he will come up with something very soon.” He mumbled, pushing his hand into his hair. Moments later, the technician returned and with his hands resting on his hips, he shook his head sideways. “What do you mean? I'm being tracked and you couldn't… damnit. I should have gone for someone better.” He groaned. “The device had been removed.” The technician replied. “How do you know that when you couldn't bring it out?” He yelled at him, slamming his fist against the table as anger surged thro

Smiling, Liam continued to approach Nathan who wore a smirk on the side of his lips. With a meter distance between them, Liam pushed his hand forward. “Your IMEI number.” He said. “How did my phone get to you?” Nathan asked with a shock filled face mixed with anger. Not only had his cover been blown, he was angry that Liam was the one assigned to handle his phone. “I was asked to work on it.” He replied with a carefree tone. Still seething with anger, Nathan snatched his phone from him. “I will get back to you.” He said through gritted teeth and then stormed off. Liam was still staring at his departing figure when Xavier who had watched everything scurried towards him. “My goodness, who exactly are you?” Xavier asked, wrapping his hands across his chest. “What are you talking about?” “Now, don't get the wrong idea. I just want to know why the family of the elites keep picking on you.” He said. Now standing in front of Liam, he studied his face for a while and then shook his he

With just one day left before the board meeting where the new chairman would be chosen, Liam was seated in the living room of his mother's house. He had just ten percent more of shares to acquire and there was no hope of getting it before the meeting scheduled for nine am the following day. Immediately Liam sighted Madam Aurelia walking towards him, he rose and then did a curt bow, his hands folded in front of him. “Please sit.” She gestured to him before taking her seat. With his hands folded in front of him, he leaned forward, his gaze not leaving his mother even for a second. “With the way things turned out to be, Alaric would be the next chairman and there is nothing we can do about it.” She said with a shrug before taking a sip from the glass of water in front of her.“I'm not going to let that happen.” Liam said, making her turn in his direction at once. Raising her brow at him, she already asked a hundred and one questions which she didn't need to voice out. “Mother, I w

Gripping Liam's arm more tightly, Rose made sure she counted her footsteps as she walked through the aisle.When they got to the door, Liam inputted the pin and before Rose could even start making a fuss about it, the door slid open and at once Naya and Nelson jumped on her with placards. “Welcome back Rose.” Naya and Nelson said in unison, waving the cards in front of her. To this, Rose didn't know how to respond. She was shocked beyond words and could do nothing but to just stare. “Rose… aren’t you happy?” Nelson asked, pulling her to himself. He was worried about her facial expression. “Of course I'm but… what is all these about?” She muttered staring at the stairs, waiting for the rich mogul whom Liam had sold her to, to appear. When it seemed like she was going to wait forever, she grabbed Liam's arm and then pulled him out of the living room. Trying to calm her raging nerves down, she was pacing from one end to the other, her hands wrapped across her chest. “Rose… is ever
Rise Of The World's Overlord 140. "The current chairwoman"
Chapter 140During breakfast, Alaric was going through the speech he intended to deliver the next day when Giovanni, his chief of staff walked up to him, wielding his laptop. “Sir, you need to see this.” He whispered, placing the screen in front of him. “Can't you see I'm busy.” Alaric snapped. “This is urgent, you have to address it, otherwise the speech would be useless.” Giovanni sang like a canary and at once Alaric snapped his head upwards, glaring angrily at him. “I'm sorry.” Still glaring, Alaric took the laptop from him only for a large frown to appear on his face the next second. “Where did you get this from?” He asked. “I received it via email.” With his hands resting on his hips, Giovanni stepped forward, “We buried everything relating to this case…” “Then how did it pop up… because you didn't do your job well.” Pushing his chair backwards, he rose and after emptying the glass of water in front of him down his gullet, he threw it across the room. “I can't believe I
Rise Of The World's Overlord 141. Confidence and Assurance.
Half an hour before the start of the board meeting, Alaric was in a meeting with the board of directors he had managed to win over to his side. They kept giving him assurance they had everything taken care of and that he would be the next Chairman but he wasn't buying their tale. He felt threatened and no matter how much they tried to convince him, he kept on bringing up different instances. “Sir, we have been working on this for the last three months and you feel things wouldn't fall into place. We are competent and I can assure you that everything is under control.” “What if there is any opposition, how are you going to counter it?” “We already won about sixty percent of the shareholders on our side and they all gave us their words that they will vote for you.” Mr. Silas, the Chief Financial Officer of the corporation said. “It's sixty percent against forty… your margin is wide.” He added, laughing heartily and the rest joined in. With just a few more minutes left before the
