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

It wasn't up to five minutes after he left when Xavier walked in.“Hey, my instincts are always right.” He applauded himself as he hurried towards Liam who looked confused.“What is going on?” He asked. Looking around with his hands tucked in his pockets, he asked, “Where is Dave? It had been ages since I last set my eyes on him.” He muttered.“Same here.”His response made Xavier's mouth drop open in shock.

Not sure of what to do, Liam kept staring at Madam Aurelia who also had her gaze on him. Out of every solution she could think of, it was to cut Rose and Dave off, leaving Liam in a more confused state. “Mother.” He called, his tone was low and almost came out in a whisper. “Son, at this point, the only thing you can do is to cut them off. They have nothing to offer to you, rather they are a burden on your shoulders.* She cooed, trying to touch his arm but he veered backwards, glaring angrily at her. “Mother, I can't believe you’re saying this.” “We are in a tight spot and the only thing you can do at this point is to cut off those who are pulling you back. I understand the relationship you share with them but sometimes…” “Are you going to do that to me too, when I have nothing to offer anymore?” His question made her mouth drop open but she couldn't speak. “I thought coming to meet you will help but, I was wrong.” He yelled, clenching his fist by his side. “I don't care the rep
Rise Of The World's Overlord 175. "I Will Fix It"

Wrapping his hands around her neck, he pulled her to himself, peppering her neck with kisses while she sobbed in his chest. It wasn't long when a worn out Dave stumbled towards them and immediately he locked eyes with Liam, he halted. “Can you wait for me in the car?” Liam asked, pushing Rose away from himself gently. “No, those guys are going to come for me again.” She cried, clinging to him even more tightly. “I promise they wouldn't, trust me, would you?” He used the tip of his fingers to wipe the tears off her face and after several minutes of convincing her, she finally agreed. Now standing two meters away from Dave who had been staring at him without saying a word, he cleared his throat before speaking. “What is the matter?” He asked, tilting his head to the side. “I should be the one asking you that. I wasn't expecting

Since he was now the head of the team he once featured in as a member, Liam had an office to himself and immediately Xavier learnt of his presence, he didn't waste time before going to meet him.When he walked in, Liam immediately rose and went around the table to join him. “I was waiting patiently for your funeral date to be announced.” Xavier started the conversation with a huff.“Why will you say that? I’m not dead yet so there is no need for my funeral to be conducted.” His huffed at his dark humor, plopping on his seat. “In between, how have you been?” “I should be the one asking you that ques
