Rise Of The World's Overlord 225. Is he a sort of god…
It had been a few days since Liam accosted Madam Aurelia, still yet, he hadn't laid hold of the information he wanted. Whenever he had spare time, he was on the web, surfing for information that might give him a hint about Daniel but to no avail. At the moment, he was sitting behind his laptop, drumming his fingers against the table as he racked his head. “What am I going to do now?” He mumbled only for his door to creak open and Rose walked in.Thinking she wanted to lash out at him, he quickly sat up. With his hands by his side, he parted his lips to speak but she hushed him. “You wouldn't believe what I found out.” Her tone sounded excited but her expression said otherwise; she had a deep frown on her face. “What is it about?”“Alaric isn't the main character here.” Her words sounded foreign to Liam that for a moment, he didn't act like she had said a word.Parting his lips, he tried to speak only to swallow his words as he stared back at her. “What are you talking about?”“G

After taking a long sip from the glass before him, Alaric slammed it against the table, his eyes reddened as he glared at the counter holding different types of drinks in front of him. “What are you going to do now?” Ross asked, peering at him as he sipped from his glass. “That which I don't know.” He grunted, tugging his hair as he clenched and unclenched his fists. The more he thought of how he was voted out, the furious he became. Pushing his hand into his hair, he threw his head backward as he rose only to plop on the stool the next minute. “If you ask for my suggestion, I feel you have to tackle them now that they let their defenses down. In that way, you will be able to take over the company more easily.” Ross reeled, watching Alaric's every move. “My hope now lies in the biotechnology company, I wouldn't be able to run that if I don't take charge of the family chains of business.” He muttered, increasing the pressure in the glass only for it to crash into pieces the next m

A few days after his meeting with Madam Aurelia, Martin Lohan called for an emergency meeting with the board of directors and shareholders. They had all been waiting for this day and when they got the message, they were all eager to be at the meeting to find out what was going to happen. A few minutes into the meeting, Martin rose, making his way to the middle of the elevated podium. “Until our candidates are able to prove their worth of becoming the chairman of AI tech and its franchise, I will be in charge of the business.” He allowed the words to glide from his tongue effortlessly as he looked around the hall. When no one opposed his words, he went ahead to say, “To put to an end the power tussle, Madam Aurelia and I decided to put up the candidates, Alaric Armani and Williams Armani, to a test.” “To become a leader of an organization, intellect and skills are needed and these two proved beyond every reasonable doubt that they are capable to lead but as we all know, there can
Rise Of The World's Overlord 228. Are you seeing another girl?”
Smirking, Alaric turned around and took his leave, leaving Liam to be staring as he wondered what he met with his words. “Ugh! When is all these going to be over? I’m losing my head already.” He muttered, snapping his eyes shut. Pulling his feet towards the elevator, he tried not to think much about everything that was going on but he couldn't get his mind off it. “Hey Liam, where have you been all these while?” It was Xavier who was running after him. Currently, they were on the ground floor of the building. “You're becoming scarce these days, are you planning on leaving the company?” He asked, peering at him with his brows raised. “Not at all.” Liam chuckled as he pulled out his hand from his pocket. Placing it on Xavier's shoulder, he asked, “Can I ask for a favor?” “No.” “Oops, it's fine.” He forced a smile at him. “Come on, I was just pulling your legs. You can tell me whatever you want to… I can listen to your rant all day.” With his face now lit up, Liam looked around
Rise Of The World's Overlord 229. You guys are manipulative…
For a moment, Liam didn't say anything.He kept staring at her like it was their first meeting. “I asked a question Liam.” Naya snapped, hitting her fists against the table. His silence had made her suspicion about another female stronger. “What prompted you to ask that?” Liam replied, using his fingers to trace the outline of his jaw. He was clearly not expecting her to ask that. “Because… I need to know.” “What if I'm seeing someone….” Naya didn't allow him to finish before she grabbed her purse off the table but before she could storm off, he held her hand. “Come on Naya, you know I wouldn't try to hurt you.” “But you are seeing another girl.” She huffed. Unable to keep his laughter in check anymore, Liam threw his head backwards as he chuckled loudly. The next time he locked eyes with her, she was seething and on the table, her fist was clenched, amusing him even more. “You should calm down, okay.”Now holding her hands, he squeezed them softly. “Believe me when I say I’m

“Liam, you're certain you don't need my assistance?” Madam Aurelia asked. She had been on the phone with him for about half an hour now. “Yeah, I will be fine with the others.” He affirmed, reviewing everything she had said in his head. At the end of the call, Liam rejoined the others in the living room. “If you're still doubting, I can prove to you that Xavier is the mole Alaric had planted to monitor you.” Rose said immediately he plopped on the couch. “The trend he uses whenever something happens… remember?” Dave asked, crossing his hands on his chest. “What trend?” Liam was getting even more confused. Coupled with what his mother had said to him, he felt like his head was blowing up. “At first, he will pull himself out, giving you reasons why he can’t be a part of your team and then he will return with stuff you can use to wriggle yourself out.” “How did he know about the grenade in your office?” Dave asked, peering at Liam. It was at this moment it dawned on Liam the poin

Hearing this, Liam quicking turned his head in his direction, locking eyes with Karl’s own which was weak because of his old age. “You said something.” He broke the silence, taking his eyes off Karl who was still staring. “Yeah! It's not as if I’m doing you a favor by making you the head of the project, it is your hard work that brought you here.” He pursed his lips as he nodded his head in rhythm. His act kept Liam on the edge who was already tired of the suspense Karl was making him go through. Pushing his hand into his pocket, he pushed his head backwards, trying hard to get a grip of himself. He was curious and what he needed was an immediate response but it wasn't forthcoming. Just when he was about to state his frustration, Karl cleared his throat and then said, “The biotechnology company you want to go after, step back from it.” Liam gulped as beads of perspiration gathered on his forehead. How did he know about this? — He pondered. This was the only question ringing in
Rise Of The World's Overlord 232. The first successful experiment.
After the episode with Sam, Liam decided to focus on work before he gets choked up with the numerous jobs on his lists. He had just finished a file when he heard a knock on his door. At first he wanted to ignore but thinking whoever it was on the other end had something important to say to him, he ushered the person in. Grinning from side to side, Xavier stepped into his office. “I waited for your text all through the night but it never came.” He muttered, plopping on the couch with his legs crossed. “Are you trying to get words from me so you can relay them to your master?” Liam asked with his gaze trained on him. “What are you talking about?” Xavier asked with a raised brow. “You’ve been caught in your act, you should own up to it.” Came Liam's response as he continued scrolling through his laptop. For the next few minutes that followed, no one said a word. While Liam continued flipping through his files and scrolling through his laptop, Xavier had his gaze on him. Pressing
