Rise Of The World's Overlord 184. Firm and Icy.
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

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

Instead of leaving like Alaric had wanted, Liam stayed put, nodding his head in rhythm and tapping his feet on the floor like he was listening to music. “Aren't you leaving?” Alaric finally asked. He was frustrated beyond measure and he wanted to vent but Liam wasn't giving him the chance to do so. “I already prepared a press conference. I will have to accompany you there since I’m the subject matter.” Liam replied, his focus now on himSeeing Alaric frustrated made his stomach churn in excitement. Even still, he didn't allow himself to be swayed. Even if Alaric doesn't have a backup plan for the now, he was going to come up with one as soon as possible. On arrival at the hall, the flashing lights of cameras were blinding that Liam had to use his hand to shield his face. With Dave’s help, he had reached out to reporters from different broadcasting stations to cover the conference. “Good day everyone.” Alaric began. “Just yesterday, AI technology was thrown into chaos when Marti

It was already dusk but Alaric was yet to get over what had happened. It was a slap to his face and he couldn't sit back without taking action. Biting his lower lips as he paced around his balcony, he had his hand resting on his hips. “I wonder how he was able to lay his hands on that. All these while, he had been snooping on me or… someone on the inside helped him.” He muttered, just then, Sam joined him. With his hands clasped in front of him, he did a curt bow. “Sir, I didn't find anything.” His voice was low but audible for Alaric to hear. “You didn't find anything, not even a grain you mean.” “It was a clean job, he was extremely careful with his deals.” He replied only to have his back against the wall the next minute. Still fuming, Alaric walked up to him, grabbing the cuff of his shirt, he tossed him aside again, eliciting a loud groan that shook the foundation of the house. It was at this moment that Giovanni walked in. Seeing this, he didn't need anyone to tell him w

Liam was already at the table having breakfast with Naya when Rose arrived, scraping the floor with the chair she had pulled out. For the next few minutes, it was the sound of clinking cutlery that rented the air until Rose decided to speak. Clearing her throat, she leaned towards Liam, “Your company is something else these days.” She smacked her lips as she crossed her hand on her chest. “You should pull out Liam. At this rate, I’m scared you're going to lose yourself.” Naya joined in. “What do you mean?” “Stop pretending to be a dunce.” Rose snapped, sending her fist against the table. “Well, it's all good since you were not accused of killing Giovanni.” “Oh, about that.” Liam chuckled a bit. Tugging his hair, he leaned back on his seat as he wiped his mouth with the serviette. “It was an accident, no one killed him.” He said after a while. “I hope it remains that way. You know, I dread watching the news because I'm scared your face would pop up again.” Naya mumbled, chewing

Since it was the weekend, Naya and Rose decided to go shopping, instead of sitting idle at home.Wren had just pulled up beside the mall when Rose grabbed Naya’s arm, nodding at Alaric who was getting out of his car at that time. “I wonder what his mission is this time around. I hope no one gets hurt.” Rose muttered, watching him as he made his way into the building. “Let's go in.” Naya said, pushing the door open but Rose was quick to bang it shut. “If he sees you, he will start running his mouth.” Rose snapped. Rolling her eyes, she added, “I can't stand him, I will tend to hit him across his face.” She huffed while Naya just laughed.“That's exactly what I intend to do too, so we are on the same page.” Patting her shoulder, she went ahead to say, “Running away from him shows we are cowards and we aren't.” “Just be careful, that man is more dangerous than you think.” Wren said he had been listening to their conversation. “Don't worry about us, we will be fine.” Naya replied wi

Sitting opposite Silvan in a bar, Naya had a straw to her lips as she stared out of the window. They had been sitting without saying a word to each other since they arrived and she was getting bored already. Naya was about to break the silence when he cleared his throat and with a sigh of relief, she snapped her head in his direction. “Where have you been?” She asked, her gaze fixed on him. “I just returned from IT training. Remember I'm taking over my family tech company and so I have to be prepared.” He replied with a hint of pride in his tone. Already bored, she couldn't help but ask, “Why are we here?”“That's because I want to speak with you.” Leaning towards her, he clasped his hand on the table, “I wanted to withhold this from you but I can't do that anymore. I have been unable to have a good sleep each time I think about it and it is affecting my mental health.” Not knowing what to say, she raised her brow at him, urging him to go on with his words. “It's about Liam.”
