Rise Of The World's Overlord 242. “Is he dead?”
On arrival, Liam was busy speaking to some staff concerning the upcoming project they were to embark on. Immediately they noticed the presence of Alaric, they all dispersed. Liam on the other hand wore a neutral expression as he kept staring at Alaric's who had refused to say a word since he came around. He didn't need anyone to tell him that Alaric had discovered who Kaylan was, so he was a bit perturbed but he didn't show it. After what seemed like forever, Alaric closed the gap between them and with his full gaze on Liam, he said, “Why did you put her in that situation knowing fully well it's a danger zone?” His tone was low but loud enough for Liam to hear him properly. Feigning ignorance, Liam scrunched his brow, parting his lips slightly as if he was trying to wrap his head around what he was saying. Furious with this, Alaric wanted to grab his shoulder but he left his hand hanging mid air. “Are you certain you aren't going to regret this? Karl knows about Kaylan now and
Rise Of The World's Overlord 243. You've done enough!
Sitting in the bar section of his home, Alaric was sipping a glass of water with his hands folded in front of him. Karl's words were making him uncomfortable.Silencing someone wasn't a hard task for him to do but he wasn't moved to do the same to Kaylan when she was merely working on Liam's instruction. Balling his hands into a fist, he would clench it for a while and then release it.This went on for a long time and when he finally stopped, he rose up only to plop back on his seat with a thud. “I'm a pawn in this game.” He muttered, tugging his hair. “He even has a replacement for me already. Who could that be?” He pondered, feeling his neck and back of his head for the presence of any cut but there was none. Shaking his head vehemently, he rose but as usual, he fell back on his seat, grabbing his head as he squinted. “I can't meet Liam for help. He is going to look down on me and I can't let that happen.” He huffed and with his lips caged in between his teeth, he grunted. Jus

First, it was the faint sound of a door opening and then a bang. Rolling to the end of her bed, Kaylan nuzzled deeply into her pillow, trying to seek comfort as she relaxed from the grueling events of the day. When the noise became consistent, she threw her legs off her bed with her eyes partially open. Rubbing on it, she got off and then headed to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. She had just placed the empty glass on the counter when she saw another glass on the counter, this time around it contained another liquid. Trying to wrap her head around what she had seen, she parted her lips as she racked her head only for the faint sound of a footstep to filter into her ears. Scared to the bones, she ran to the telephone only to discover that the wires had been disconnected, this did nothing but to increase her fright.With cold beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead, she kept darting her eyes around as she thought of her next step of action. “What have I gotten my

Liam on the other hand had been watching Alaric through the camera he had at his house — the necklace which adorned Kaylan's neck. Kaylan on her part had no idea about it since Liam had given it to her as a gift which she wasn't prepared to let go off. “I wonder what is going to happen next.” Rose commented, moving around until Liam grabbed the arm of the chair. Pulling her up, he pushed her towards the bathroom. “You stink, go clean up.” He had his nose scrunched up like the odor was offensive. Dave who was currently with them at that time wasn't left out as they watched a furious Rose stomp off. Just when Alaric was about to pull Kaylan by her hair, Liam dialed his phone and immediately the call went through, he received it, stepping away from her. “Are you calling to check up on Kaylan?” Alaric asked with a smirk dancing on his lips. Casting a glance to Kaylan who was just staring when in the real sense she wanted to yell out to Liam for help, he let out a low chuckle. “Wha

A few days later…Liam was busy trying to come up with the proposal for the project he had to submit the next meeting which is the next day when Alaric barged into his office. Feigning not to have an idea of his presence, Liam continued what he was doing only for Alaric to lean over the table, causing him to raise his head. “What do you want?” Liam huffed, tilting his head to the side as he drummed his fingers against the table. “I had no idea that the president could fall for your tricks.” He laughed, hitting his hands together. “I'm so surprised that at first I thought he was giving you accolades only to discover he shared that with me out of pain.” He shrugged, smacking his lips. “Not going to lie, you are a genius.” He wanted to go on but Liam was too busy to give him the audience which he wanted. Crossing his hand on the table with his gaze fixated on him, he said, “I don't think you came here to ask how I managed to trick your boss.” He huffed. Leaning even more closely n
Rise Of The World's Overlord 247. Mouth watering promises.
Unlike the previous times when Karl would go around in circles before stating the reason for his invitation, he went straight to the point. He scrunched up his already wrinkled face in anger as he pointed his middle finger at Liam who wore a calm expression. “Are you seriously taking my leniency for granted?” He yelled at Liam who was unfazed with all of his drama. “You never had Nolan in your custody, why then did you decide to pull that trick? Are you trying to make fun of my old age?” He yelled again and this time around, he sent his fist into the chair he was occupying. Making him even more furious, Liam didn't say anything as he watched him pace around, trying to get a grip of himself. Just when he wanted to start a round of his ranting, Liam cleared his throat and at once he shifted his gaze to him, his brows creased as he urged him to speak with his eyes.“Kaylan is innocent. I couldn't allow you to shed innocent blood.” Liam said with his hands folded in front of him. Hi
Rise Of The World's Overlord 248. Back to square one.
It was barely twenty four hours after Liam's last meeting with Karl's yet he had done the first thing he had in mind. The company was in a state of disarray as the board of directors and shareholders all headed towards the boardroom for an emergency meeting. They all had words on their lips as they made their way to their destinations and the look on their faces showed that they were furious. Not just only furious, they were frustrated and tired of everything that was going on. While they were shouting and talking on the top of their voices, Martin tried to calm them down but they were too angry to listen to him. It was like Martins was pouring water on a hard rock which showed no signs of melting. Before they calmed down to listen to what Martin had to say to them, it was already an hour past. “We don't need a recap of whatever is happening, all we need is a solution. You have to provide a solution so we can move forward.” Raymond yelled from the end of the hall, followed by T
Rise Of The World's Overlord 249. “Did you see the news?”
At the end of the call with Liam, Karl shifted his gaze to Alaric who was still smirking and then fell into his seat. “You should call your brother to his senses. He doesn't listen and just like the stubborn fly who refused to be cautioned, he is going to find himself in a grave with the corpse.” He muttered. Alaric still didn't say a word. He was furious and the only way he could contain his anger was to remain mute or else he was going to yell at Karl and they might even get engaged in a scuffle. “Why did you decide to attack the company? It's not as if Liam owns the place.” Alaric said through gritted teeth. “It is a family business for crying out aloud. The family is unaware of your dealings but you decided to put them into the mess Liam has created.” He huffed. “You shouldn't be overreacting. I understand how you feel and if I was in your place, I would react exactly the same way too but at the same time you should try to think out of the box.” Now with a grave voice, he l
