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
Rise Of The World's Overlord 166. "A Victim Of Arson"
Chapter 166Fiddling with his finger like a child who was caught stealing cookies, Dave kept staring at the picture Liam was staring at.The more he stared at it, the angrier he became. “Who are these? They look identical, are they twins, or friends?” Liam asked, staring at him as he used his eyes to probe for answers. “That is my brother and I.” He muttered. Stunned, Liam adjusted on his seat as he tried to wrap his head around what he had just heard. The person Dave claimed he was, was entirely different from his current look and so Liam was wondering how possible it was. Shaking his head sideways, he huffed, “Man, if you insist on keeping your true identity of yourself, I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to work with you anymore.” Liam was pissed now. He hated the fact that Dave kept lying to him like he was a kid. “I'm not telling a lie.” Dave said with a low tone. After a brief silence, he turned towards Liam, and his eyes reddened with anger. This was the first time Liam was s
Rise Of The World's Overlord 167. That Punk!
The following day at work, Liam was heading to his office when a janitor rushed towards him and then grabbed his hand.“I'm sorry, I was among the people who felt you needed to be thrown out of the company for trying to sell out information.” She grabbed his hand.“It's fine, if the place was changed, I will act exactly like you did.” Liam said, patting her shoulder.She kept on apologizing and when Liam couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled away from her and then hurried towards his office.He had barely settled on his seat when Xavier walked up to him with some files and then placed them on his ta
Rise Of The World's Overlord 168. A Survivor.
Fully aware that Alaric had found something about him, Dave nodded, giving him a go ahead.Pulling out a file from his briefcase, Giovanni, placed it on the table while Alaric ran his fingers on the edges.Smirking, he tilted his head, with a smile on his lips as he stared at Dave whose heart was slamming against his chest in quick succession.Even though he was expecting this to happen, Dave was getting scared with each passing minute but somehow, he managed to keep his cool while Alaric on his part kept teasing him.After thinking about this over and over again, he strongly believed Dave was the same person he knew several years a
