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

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
