Rise Of The World's Overlord 158. ...an air of finality.
The atmosphere in the office was charged as everyone kept walking hastily like someone was on their tail. This went on for about thirty minutes, staff whispering to themselves and pointing at just one direction and that was Liam's office. “I still can't believe Liam would do something of this sort.” Myles said, folding his hands across his chest. “He has the interest of the company at heart and I doubt if he will…” Cornel was still speaking when Myles hushed him. “Indeed… if you haven't been told before, I will say this to you.” He paused. “You should learn how to review your words in your head before spewing thrash. Just in case you don't know, it's sickening.” He rolled his eyes and then stormed off. “What's up with him?” Ross asked. “Acting like a pregnant woman.” Cornel huffed, tugging his hair. All the while they were talking, Xavier was reviewing what he had heard in his head as he patted his desk with the butt of his pen. The rumors didn't sit well with him and deep dow
Rise Of The World's Overlord 159. ...you really want to die?
Walking through the hallway with his briefcase, Liam had his head raised up high, ignoring the scrutinizing gaze he was receiving from his co-worker. In his head, he was trying to figure out how he would go about this delicate situation but he couldn't come up with anything. Groaning, he smacked his lips and just when he was about to walk past the elevator, someone pulled him in. “Hey,” Giovanni said with a deep voice. “Do you have your will written out already?” Liam asked, holding his chest as he tried to steady his heavy breathing. “You don't seem bothered at all. I guess you have a back up plan already and wouldn't be needing my help.” He said. “I can see you really want to die.” For the last few days, Giovanni had been trying to get his attention but since he didn't want to get him into trouble with his boss, he always ignored him but he wasn't deterred. “This is just the beginning, brace yourself for the tougher days. I know you will pull through just like you always do.
Rise Of The World's Overlord 160. Argue with facts only.
Smiling like a maniac, Alaric walked towards the cafe, his head held up high like he had just been appointed the president. “Sir, this way.” Giovanni said, leading the way to the cafe where Liam was seated.Immediately Liam saw Alaric approaching him, he emptied the content of his coffee down his throat and then rose to his feet. “Please have your seat, you're still a part of us until the forensics team proves your guilt.” He said, pulling out the chair opposite him. Pressing his lips into a thin line, Liam cleared his throat and then plopped on the seat he was occupying.With his legs crossed and hands intertwined on his chest, he asked, “Why did you come to me? You would have simply asked for my presence and I will be by your side.” “I would have done that but on the other hand, I don't want more publicity.” Turning towards Giovanni, he stepped forward, “The TV station has stopped the broadcast.” “You see, I’m not bluffing.” “No thanks.” “I know you wouldn't appreciate my eff
Rise Of The World's Overlord 161. My Verdict...
With his hands strapped across his chest, Liam was moving from one end to the other, muttering all sorts of words to himself. It's the morning of Thursday, a day before he appeared before the board of directors to prove his innocence, yet he had been unable to come up with anything. Alaric men had made sure they cleaned everywhere so he wouldn't find anything that would help him escape, making him vulnerable. At this point, Liam felt like he was burning up. All he wanted to do was to shout, scream and cry out for help but he couldn't bring himself to do so. With his hands tucked in his pockets, he stared out of the hotel window, a little smile tugging the side of his lips. To prevent Rose and Naya from pestering him, he had lied to them that he was under probation at the office and once everything was cleared, he would return to them. “At least, I had a taste of wealth before I finally got locked up in prison.” He muttered, moving away from the window. Reaching out for his jack
Rise Of The World's Overlord 162. The Whistleblower.
It was at this moment that Xavier realised they had been holding hands all the while and at once he pulled away, glaring at him. “What was that for?” He huffed, glaring at him. “You looked pissed so I decided to reassure you.” Liam laughed. After a brief silence, Xavier cleared his throat and with his hand resting on the table, he leaned towards him. “If they get to know I'm the one who helped you with all these, my job will be at stake but nevertheless, I will be the whistleblower.” Stunned, Liam couldn't utter a word. He kept staring with his mouth slightly apart, trying to wrap his head around what he just heard. “Do you have a second job?” Liam asked. “Nope, I will find something else to do. You don't have to bother about me.” Xavier said, flashing him a smile. “Bother about you? I’m just helping.” He scoffed, pulling the envelope to himself but Dave took it from him. “I can't believe you're toying with your life. You think after proving Liam's innocence only your job wou
Rise Of The World's Overlord 163. "Where is your thug?"
The following morning, Naya went about with her duties with a heavy heart and long face. Severally, she had tried to feign that all was well with her but she failed woefully. Shutting her eyes, she held the edge of the table and then slid through the wall but before she could get to the floor, Liam arrived by her side. Scooping her into his hands, he carried her to the living room and then dropped her on the couch. “Liam, please step back. They have done enough already, please. I don't want them to hurt you.” She muttered, tears rolling down her cheeks. “No Naya. If I give up on this fight now, do you know what that means?” He didn't allow her to give a response before he did.“That means I have surrendered to them and I will not do that. I will never succumb to what those people expect of me.” He said with a determined look and tone. “Then promise me you will be alright. Promise me that nothing will happen to you.” She mumbled, holding his cheek. “I will be fine, you just need
Rise Of The World's Overlord 164. He Is Innocent!
It was thirty minutes into the hearing and all evidence that was brought forward was pointing towards Liam. The room was tension filled but despite all these, Liam maintained decorum. It was as if he wasn't even the one that was on a hot seat. Xavier, pacing from one end to the other, had his fingers inside his mouth. He was chewing on them like it was his last meal.Since it was aired live for the whole country, Rose and Naya were with Granny Elena and Sam in the family mansion to watch the proceedings. Granny Elena was already disappointed when Liam wouldn't say anything to defend himself but Sam who had been brainwashed by Nathan after his last visit to the hospital kept reassuring her that Liam was innocent.To avoid Madam Aurelia from slumping since they were unsure of the outcome of the meeting, they had placed her on pills. “I think we should give Williams Armani a chance to speak.” Khan said and at once everyone agreed.Alaric, scared that Liam was going to counter everythi
Rise Of The World's Overlord 165. You Are Acting Suspicious.
Standing side by side were Xavier and Liam who were looking at the large water body below them.Occasionally, Xavier would throw a twig inside the water and watch it swallow it up like it was nothing. “Why did you bring me here?” Liam asked, breaking the silence. “Because we are friends.” Xavier replied, smacking his lips. Now resting his back against the steel that was used in creating a barricade, he wrapped his hand across his chest. “Just like Cornel, I was jealous of you. Not going to lie, if I was in Cornel’s shoes when I met you, still blinded with jealousy, I would have done the same.” “You don't need to tell me, it was all over you.” Liam chuckled. “Well, that’s all in the past now.” He shrugged. “When I decided to study you carefully, that was when I learnt that you weren't who they always portrayed to be but it was hard to admit it.” He shrugged. “By any chance, are you hitting on me?” Liam asked and at once his eyes widened in surprise. It was as if he was going to
