The next minute, Sam who was smirking made his way into Alaric's office and at once Liam gulped.
Staring at him, he tried to get a meaning to what was happening but nothing was adding up. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
“Hey,” Sam waved.
“What are you doing here?” Liam managed to ask after a few minutes of silence.
Nodding towards Alaric, Sam straightened up, “I work for him now.”
“Since when?”

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"
The moment Liam pulled up at the address Alaric had sent to him, he got out of his car only for Rose to run out of nowhere, engulfing him in a tight hug. 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
Rise Of The World's Overlord 176. Welcome back...
Three weeks later…Swinging his briefcase in a hand and the other holding onto his ID card, Liam made his way towards the barricade. He had just crossed over to the other side when Sam called out to him and he swirled in his direction reluctantly. “Welcome back.” He waved. “See you during lunch.” He added before skipping away, leaving Liam wondering what he was up to this time around. 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
Rise Of The World's Overlord 177. Rumor has It...
“Where are you heading?” Rose asked, rising from the couch she had been occupying. “I'm heading to work. Is there a problem?” Liam asked with a raised brow as she slowly wrapped her hands across her chest. Glaring at him, she slowly began to make her way towards him until only a few feets separated them. “Are you trying to get yourself killed?” She asked, her eyes darkened in anger. “Come on, everything was in the past and all we need to do right now is to move on.” Holding her shoulder, he pulled her to himself but she pulled away from him. “You’re fully aware that that psycho, Alaric Armani will stop at nothing to make your life miserable. He will stop at nothing to see that you crawl on your bottom, he will stop at nothing to make sure you end up in the cemetery untimely but yet, you still walk into his trap willingly?” She yelled, hitting his chest will all her might. Naya was on her way out when she saw the scene and she immediately rushed towards them. “Calm down Rose, le

“What are you up to this time around?” Liam asked, slamming his fists against the table to show the extent of his anger. Feigning to be scared Alaric veered backwards only to lean towards him, laughing heartily like it was funny. “Don't you dare make light of the matter at hand. Both of us know you’re plotting something evil and I demand to know exactly what it is.” Liam snapped. “Why should I tell you my plan when we are not a team?” He muttered, smacking his lips. “Madam Aurelia still regards you as a kid, that's why she doesn't tell you a lot of things.” He chuckled. Pulling himself up with his hands tucked into his pockets, he began to walk towards him, still wearing a coy smile. “The whole deal had been finalized a week ago… I thought you had a hint, how wrong was I?” “Why?” “Are you seriously asking me when Madam Aurelia is fully involved?” He huffed, crossing his hands on his chest. “Just like you said, I’m plotting something and I will launch it soon. You just wait and

Chapter 179“What has gotten over you, Liam. Please calm down and let's talk. We can resolve the issue at hand without exchanging fists, you know.” Mr. Jones mumbled, trying to close the gap between them but Dave pushed him aside. “Stay still, allow him to steam off.” He said with a warning tone. Madam Aurelia plopped on the couch closest to her, shutting her eyes as she reviewed the scene that had just happened in her head. Taking in a long breath, she snapped her eyes open, “Who are you?” She was speaking to Dave who was staring next to Liam at the moment. “Dave Hudson, Williams Armani's bodyguard.” He replied with a little bow. “Each time I go through your profile, that name reminds me of someone I know pretty well but it doesn't add up.” “Owen Hudson?” Dave asked, taking a step forward. Since Alaric already knew who he was, there was no need to hide his identity anymore.“I know him… are you his little brother, Dave?” Her eyes grew wide like saucers with each passing seconds
Rise Of The World's Overlord 180. Spite...
Seated in the balcony of his house, Alaric had his legs crossed with a coy smile playing on his lips.Drumming his fingers against the arm of the chair he was occupying, he kept on humming a rhyme to himself. “Sir, I have done as instructed.” Sam said, standing next to him with his hands folded in front of him. “Really?” He laughed, pushing a chip into his mouth and then he began to chew on it slowly. Suddenly, he grabbed the glass which held water on the low stool next to him and then threw it over the guardrail. The crashing sound made him rise, grabbing the rail, he looked over bursting into a loud laughter which sent chills down Sam's spines. “Sir, what should I do?” Sam asked, trying to hide the look of worry on his face. “Nothing, absolutely nothing.” Folding his hands across his chest, he fell back on his seat and then crossed his legs. “I need to come up with the perfect plan to make it look more real. Now, what should I do?” He pondered, hitting his foot against the fl

The impromptu meeting with the board of directors made Liam drained but nevertheless, he dared not complain.It was over a month now, yet there had been disagreement amongst the board of directors. While some vouched for him, others made their wishes clear that he didn't deserve the position and he should step down.All these drained Liam but still, he didn't react to any of it, knowing fully well Alaric was working behind the scene. At the end of the meeting, he made his way to his office, ignoring the stares and snide comments some of the staff sent his way.He had barely settled on his seat when a staff walked in, his face pale and at once one would know all wasn't well. “Is there an issue?” Liam asked, slowly rising from his seat. “You either step down or I make you do so.” He yelled, balling his hands into a fist. “What are you talking about?” Liam asked, trying to help him sit on the couch so they would have a concise conversation but he wouldn't let him. “Please calm down
