Rise Of The World's Overlord 147. "I have a favor to ask of you"
Chapter 147Placing the last plate of food on the table, Nelson pulled his chair out and then plopped on it. “Where is Dave, isn't he joining us for breakfast? He asked, looking over his shoulder. “Liam will have to sweet talk him as usual, otherwise, he wouldn't show up.” Rose said, stuffing her mouth with some salad. When Liam and Naya joined them moments later with Dave, they dug into their meal, a total silence on the table. Yet to finish her food, Naya pushed her chair backwards and after emptying her glass of water down her throat, she hurriedly grabbed her bag. “I'm heading out now.” She called out, hurrying towards the exit. “Have a nice day.” Liam called after her. She was already outside the house then. This had been the practice for a month now. Since Nathan had to vacate his position to serve a prison term, she replaced him in his position as the head of the accounting department. Being an integral part of the company, her attention was always needed and also in
Rise Of The World's Overlord 148. A legal team...
Rolling her eyes, Naya fell back on her seat. “He is also your brother so you don't have to treat him like he is a nobody.” Sam pressed on. He had asked her to speak to Liam on his behalf so they could procure a release for him. “I'm not mistreating him, if only he had known when to stop, he wouldn't have been in this mess.” She huffed. “It is his cross so he should carry it.” She added, sucking her teeth. Sam on the other hand was seething with anger. He kept on clenching and unclenching his fists under the table, staring at her with anger and hatred surging through him. “Naya, you have to help us. If no action is taken, Nathan will end up rotting in prison. The legal team just needs his consent so they could start scouting for his release. All we need right now is a word from your husband, nothing more.” “And what makes you think he is in a position to help? The prosecution of the country took up the matter and he isn't in the ministry of justice…” Sam didn't allow her to fini

“What do you want?” Sandra asked, her voice shaking. “When are you going to send the remaining money?” Lily yelled into the speaker. “I will send it before the week runs out. Please be patient with my family, please.” She cried, grasping the edge of the table. After the half an hour call with Lily in which she had begged all through, Naya couldn't help but feel pity towards her and at the same time wonder what the issue was. “Here,” She pushed her hanky towards her and when she didn't take it from her, she walked around the table. Helping her up, she led her towards the couch, “Please talk to me, what is the issue?” She asked, her voice shaking. “Lily is terrorizing me and my family. She had exploited my brother's disability to her advantage and…” She burped again. “She is trying to rip us off of all our hard work.” She cried. “That wouldn't happen.” Naya said, trying to comfort her as she rubbed soothing circles on her back. “It’s already happening and if she decides to hit u

With his back turned on the door, Alaric had a glass of coffee to his lips as he looked at the landscape of the bustling city from his window. Ever since he became a part of the company, he had always made it a point of duty to be present at the company every single day. It wasn't as if he had something to handle, all he wanted was to keep Liam on his toes, find something to pin him with and then eventually kick him out of the office. Smacking his lips, he tilted his head to the side and let out a low groan as frustration washed through him. He had been sorting ways on how to dismiss Liam but he was flawless and if he presented the issue to the board of directors, they weren't going to accept without concrete evidence. Now biting his lower lips, his gaze still at the window, he began to comb through his hair. “What am I going to do now? Time is running and I can't allow him to remain here while I plot ways to overthrow the chairwoman. Unlike others, he is smart and not even the

Armed with the report Alaric had requested from his office, Liam walked in. He didn't get to see Lily who was staring at him until she cleared her throat to get his attention, even though he didn't spare her any more seconds immediately he discovered she was the one. “Are you ignoring me?” She walked up to him with her hands folded across her chest. “I'm not. We don't have anything to talk about, excuse me.” He replied with his back turned on her. Grasping the handle, he pulled the door open and before she could try playing her victim card on him, he banged the door shut. “I can't believe Liam is working in this huge company.” She muttered, darting her eyes around with her hands folded in front of her. “I had underestimated him so much and… ugh! I should have been more careful. Had it been we were still couples, I wouldn't be…” The rest of her words died in her throat when the door flung open and Alaric walked in, followed by Giovanni. Immediately his eyes fell on her, a coy

Giovanni, wondering what the issue was this time around, kept staring at him with his hands folded in front of him. When Alaric wouldn't move after a long time he walked up to him, “Sir, is anything the matter?” He asked and at once Alaric grabbed the cuff of his shirt. “The police are here.” He muttered, anger mixed with frustration surging through him. Suddenly, he rose and then dashed towards the exit, Giovanni running after him. He tried opening the elevator but it wouldn't give way and with anger rippling through him, he stormed towards the stairs. “Sir, the elevator is open.” Giovanni said. In anger, he had pressed the wrong button. After leaving Alaric's office earlier, Liam had returned to his, only to head to the cafeteria as soon as he arrived. With Naya’s help, he was able to get through to Sandra who immediately contacts the police, sending them to the company to arrest her. An unsuspecting Lily who was all giddy, stepped out of the elevator on the ground floor. Sh

After a long day at work, Liam grabbed his briefcase off the table and then went to the garage to join Dave who was waiting for him as usual. When he got to the middle of the garage, a car suddenly began to honk, making him look around.Seeing that he had yet to detect the car, Giovanni, who was behind the wheel at that time turned on the headlights, attracting Liam. Now seated next to him, Liam had his gaze on the dashboard, wondering what he wanted to say to him. “Nice acting back there.” Giovanni started. “Thank you.” Liam replied. He knew he was referring to when he was speaking with Alaric after Lily had been arrested. They had locked eyes several times and Giovanni had shown him with his gaze that he knew exactly what he had done. “So, what do you want to talk about?” An impatient Liam asked. Instead of answering the question, Giovanni fell back on his seat with his hands folded across his chest. “You should thank your stars for your quick thinking otherwise, your whole

The following morning, Nathan was busy having his breakfast with the other inmates when the warden came to inform him of his visitor. “My sister?” He asked, chewing his food gently. Almost everyone knew Naya as his sister since she was always visiting the prison. “No sir.”“Sam?” “No sir.” “Then who could that be?” He muttered, popping a grape into his mouth. After what seemed like forever, he rose, trailing after the warden who led him to his special cell which was more like a room and was richly furnished. To make him comfortable while serving his term, Granny Elena had ensured he got whatever he requested and this was one of the few things he had asked for. Immediately his eyes fell on Alaric who was staring out of the window with his hands behind him, he scoffed. “What are you doing here?” He asked to announce his presence. “I came to see my friend.” Alaric smiled and with his hands tucked in his pockets, he walked up to him. “I'm sorry for not meeting with you much earli

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
