Rise Of The World's Overlord 179. ...warning tone.
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

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

When Madam Aurelia heard the news of his arrest, she passed out at once and all efforts to revive her were futile. Ladened with the burden of looking after Madam Aurelia and Liam who was currently at the holding cell at the same time, Mr. Jones were shuttling around, making calls in between. “Sir, she is not in a critical situation, she will pull out.” The doctor responded when he called him for the sixth time in half an hour. “Please, try your best. We can't lose her.” “I will do everything within my power. All you need to do is to trust me.” He said with a reassuring tone but Mr. Jones was still bothered. When he arrived at the police station, he quickly got out of his car and then hurried into the building only to meet Naya and Sam. “Thank goodness you’re here.” Naya said, immediately she saw Mr. Jones walking towards them. “Have you been able to speak with him?” He asked, looking from her to Sam who stood behind her. “He doesn't want to see us but I’m certain he wouldn't t

All through the drive home, Liam had his gaze out of the window as he thought about all that had happened during the day. The more he thought of it, the angrier and confused he became. He was angry because he failed to grasp the situation in time and confused on why the deceased suddenly jumped off. Taking a deep breath, he pushed his hand into his hair and then began to tug on it, biting his lips as he tried to shake the thought off his head but they had come to stay. Frustration gnawing on him, he groaned, making Dave who was handling the steering wheel to turn in his direction. “Are you alright?” Dave asked, looking over his shoulder. “Did you find anything on the deceased?” He asked instead, focusing his attention on him. “Yeah, he is an immigrant, nothing more.” “I bet he isn't a staff.” “You got that right. I’m still digging about him.” He mumbled as he cleared his throat. Grasping the steering wheel, he marched the throttle with a full force, sending the car flying th

After leaving the police station, Alaric dropped by the prosecution office and was immediately led to the office of one of the presiding judges. “Oh, here you are.” Judge Carlton said as he ushered hlm in with wide arms. “When are you going to change these furniture? They no longer befit you, you know.” Alaric said, looking around the office before he plopped on the couch. Carlton rejoined him after brewing two mugs of coffee. “I’m impressed, you know.” He was grinning like a little child. “I told you, he is nothing but a pawn in my game and I move him anywhere I want and at any time.” Alaric bragged. “You can say that again.” Carlton laughed. For immunity against the law, Alaric struck a deal with several important people in the country and Carlton was just one of them. “So… what do you intend to do with him now?” Carlton asked, crossing his legs. “You can’t leave him in the holding cell for more than forty eight hours.” “He is out.” Alaric replied, drumming his finger agains

Swinging his briefcase, Liam made his way down the stairs, whistling a nursery rhyme as he scrolled through his phone at the same time. “Where are you heading?” Naya asked, holding the railings. It was his whistling that attracted her. “Work, today is Thursday.” He said in a carefree manner. “Are you seriously saying that now?” She half yelled, looking around in search of Rose, she huffed. “Why are you overreacting?” He already knew the reason for her actions and he felt it was not necessary. “Can you listen to yourself speak? Liam, Granny might have promised to back you but… Alaric is dangerous, she can't face him.” Taking in a breath, Liam got off the stairs and then held her shoulder, “I don't intend to pull your family into this. Granny isn't going to get involved, I can assure you that.”“Then what about you? It's clear Alaric wants you out of his way, why are you proving to be stubborn?” She yelled. With her hands on her hips, Rose walked up to them, “You should let him d
Rise Of The World's Overlord 186. “What is your mission?”
Still holding the envelope with a triumphant look on his face, Liam dialed Dave's phone. “Where are you?” He asked when he heard his voice on the other end. “You know what, I will send a doc to you right now. I need you to check in with it and return your findings as soon as possible.” “I will be waiting.” At the end of the call, Liam took a snap of all the documents and then sent them to Dave who swung into action at once. Grabbing his remote off the table, he turned on the TV only to turn it off the next minute. The broadcasting station was airing the episode that had happened that morning. Pushing his hand into his pockets, he made his way out of his office and then went straight to the guardrail, looking over the whole place. “Just like Giovanni!” Sam announced his presence. He has been waiting for Liam to step out ever since Dave left his office. Acting like no one was there, Liam titled his head to the side. “Are you attempting to jump over too?” He asked, nudging his sid
