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
Rise Of The World's Overlord 250. We did it!
"We did it." One of the surgeons whispered to the others who were wearing smiles on their faces. They were glad, because the success meant that other victims could be saved. "What kind of object could we call that other than a chip?" The closest surgeon mumbled. Being a part of the surgeons, Harrison asked, "How is it going?" He was standing by the doorstep. "We were able to remove the chip from him." Sam was still numb, his legs curving in between each other. Immediately the chip got out of him, his sleeping posture changed, which didn't surprise the surgeons. A knock was heard and at once Harrison hurried towards the door to find out who it was. "The operation is still on…" "Since we've been able to remove the chip, we should take him to the ward.” The first surgeon said, clearing the operation knives and putting them aside. "I think we can go on with the other victims." He added. "Aren't they here?" The senior surgeon asked, suddenly interrupted by the voice that came throu
Rise Of The World's Overlord 251. What do you mean you have them?
Liam sat back in his seat, feeling a sense of numbness after Alaric left. He had never thought that a former enemy would want to join them even though that was what he wanted. The vibrations of his phone on the table drew him back from his thinking.Madam Aurelia was on the line. “Liam, have you managed to contact Alaric?” she asked, though her tone remained calm, it showed that she was worried.“Yes, he’s willing to surrender.” Liam answered, wishing he could mask the thrill in his voice. “He wishes to help us in taking down Karl.”“Are you sure he is reliable?” She asked as her maternal instincts kicked in. “He has been under Karl for quite some time. Back in the era of soap operas, would this not be another of his schemes.”“I do trust him, Mother.” Said Liam, with convincing firmness. “Karl had used him, same as how Sam was used. He understands who is in power, the evil we are against, and he wishes to change that. This could be it.”Madam Aurelia exhaled heavily. “I want to bel
Rise Of The World's Overlord 252. No! We will fight together!
The warehouse was unnaturally peaceful – the only sound was the faint wails of sirens in the quiet night. Liam knelt next to Harrison’s still body. He felt as if the world was spinning and for that brief second, the earth below him seemed to have disappeared.“No… no… no…” he said as he moved his head sideways in denial. “Harrison! Please stay with me!” Dave decided to kneel down beside him and began crying. With every passing second, the reality of the situation grew more intense, more agonizing. “Liam, we need to go, there is no way we can remain here.” He coaxed, her voice cracking.Liam’s heart pounded in his ears as his gaze swept around, knowing well that Xavier and his men were still hovering about. “I can’t leave him like this, he does not deserve this.” A raw wave of anger and grief took hold of his voice.“Liam!” Dave held him by the arm and attempted to pull him. “We will make sure he gets the justice he deserves, but can we please make it out alive. We can’t allow their
Rise Of The World's Overlord 253. War? With what aim?
The air in the boardroom was thick with tension as the stakeholders settled in for what was thought to be a simple meeting. There were anxious low voices, some looking at the time, and the order of the day remained dormant on the bright table. All were nervous because the very survival of the business was at stake. But no one anticipated how unexpected things would become.The imposing doors opened and made way for Daniel, clothed in commander’s grease – that figure. The very moment he walked in, all the din that filled the room ceased. There was horror and disbelief in the gazes of many, and soft gasps rolled around the mass.“Daniel?” Liam asked in shock and fury as he stood up. “What are you doing here?”“Why do you think I am here?” Daniel asked, his voice calm but laced with contempt. “Don’t you know that I came to visit my son and to see the mess he created?”Liam balled his hands into fists and stifled the wave of emotion threatening to tangle him. “Get out. You have caused
Rise Of The World's Overlord 254. This is very bad.
Alaric felt dejected in that small dingy room as he was at a stand still. He found himself strapped to a chair with metal rings cutting deep into his wrists. On the other side of the room, Xavier was strutting around confident with a sneer on his face. “Look at you now, Alaric ” Xavier said as he put his hands on his hips and laughed. “Formerly you had stature, nowadays you are just a flat back guy. What do you think about it?”Alaric turned his gaze toward him, internal rage reflected on his face. “You think this is a joke? You’re a mere puppet in Karl’s shadow. You will realize that one day.”Xavier let out another laugh. “Karl is top management. You would have done better staying with him. Instead, you went soft and turned the other way, and now look what this has led you to.”“Break all the connections with Karl.” Alaric spoke in a strained tone. “He’ll drain you dry. You will end up exactly like me.”Xavier shook his head but his grin had gone away. “You do not get it. This is
Rise Of The World's Overlord 255. We need to strategize...
Liam stood still only to start pacing about because he was restless. He began to plan what step to take after Alaric's revelation. He was desperate to put an end to Daniel and Karl but he didn’t know how to go about it. He felt like an ill-fated knight who had lost everything; the very thought of Harrison now felt as if it was a heavy stone placed over him.Madam Aurelia was seated on the table sorting some papers. “We need to strategize on how best we are going to eliminate Karl.” Her tone was firm although not loud. “It is not enough to just wait and see what he intends to do next.” She added, casting him a glance. “Of course I understand,” Liam answered and twirls his hair with his fingers. “But what can we do? There is too much influence and too many people surrounding him.”At this point, Giovanni dashed into the living room, his eyes darkened as he looked around, “Liam!” he shouted – gasping for air. “Daniel and Karl are up to something. We must hurry before it is too late.”

262. The End.
Six months later… The county had returned to normalcy after a thorough reform was put in place. To honor those that had made it happen, a mass meeting was organized where all members of the country were invited to be a witness to. Tyler Greene, the newly appointed President, was present in the mass meeting, being an icon in the revamped version of the country. His face was brightly marked with excitement, as he left the smile on his face and was distributing it to the citizens, who were seeing him. They had come in their masses as they wanted to witness the occasion first hand."First, I'll formally announce the reason for his honorable, reasonable and democratic meeting." Tyler started, his voice cool at first, accompanied with the sound of his laughter. "We all know about the change in the course of events in this country and those who made it happen.." Tyler spoke with clear gladness and couldn't hide it. Tyler's vice was beside him, holding a thick colored banner in his han

Daniel's voice was loud, as he kept making gestures with his hands. He was seated with his friends, conversing with them about the current news that spread around the country. Suddenly, someone rushed into their midst and exclaimed, "I heard another news…" "What's that, boy?" Daniel said, his voice breaking confidently, as if he would not be shaken by Liam's dealings. "Tell me, what's the news?" "The deal you made…" the boy started, but as soon as Daniel realized it was about a deal, he took the boy to a side to continue their talk in whispers. "The deal you strongly made and stamped with Karl had been released and broadly spread!" "What deal?" Daniel questioned him out of shock, and was rubbing his face until he stopped, as asked the boy again, "I don't get you. What deal?" "The chip infusion." The boy replied, his voice lighter as soon as he sensed anger in Daniel's voice."What!" Daniel reacted, as he nearly collapsed. "You know what? Just run away!" "To where?" The boy ask

260. What's the news?
Alaric had gone back to the operating room, and was still in bed. Fortunately, the surgeon realized he was all right. Alaric was totally healed, but he happened to have lost his memory. His constant surrender to Karl was all robotic. He was later brought from the operation room to a ward, on instruction that he needed to rest. "Hello?" A surgeon asked him. "What do you feel now?" "Feel what?" Alaric returned, his voice clear but light. "What do you mean?" "Oh, I know you're just coming back to normalcy…" the surgeon said, turning to his colleagues. "Do you think he is totally okay?" "Yeah," another surgeon responded, walking up to Alaric to check on him. "I think we should seek the attention of the senior surgeon, so he can see him." "Is that necessary?" The first surgeon questioned in return, holding her lips as she smiled. "Well, you can. At least, he is all right." Soon, the senior surgeon was around. He turned to the first surgeon and whispered to her ears, "I hope no chi

Kaylan didn't perform less than she was asked to do. She had spread the news of Rodriguez's illegal dealings vastly. Liam had ordered the release of the article which contained almost everything about Rodriguez and Karl. Rodriguez had felt comfortable with Karl's soothing words, continuing his illegal business with Karl became easy for him that he had no remorse, and even hid his fears about any form of leakage. "How far have you gone with the task I gave you?" Liam asked Kaylan, his voice deep but clear, an expression of his excitement. "In what state could the biotech company be, right now?" He mused. "I've forwarded the news to my team." Kaylan replied, returning a clearer tone in her own voice. "It will reach the masses easily that way…""I'll prove to Karl that I can thwart his schemes and nullify all his tricks." Liam chuckled, his voice making him sound like a villain and threatening Karl's attitude as though he was present. "Exactly, Liam." Kaylan responded in agreement.

258. I have evidence...
To spice up their plans, Liam had mailed a flashdrive to Rodriguez. The flash drive contained all the information they had gathered about him and Karl. Rodriguez made up his mind not to return the flash drive as he had a conclusion that something important was attached to it and so he was curious to find out the content. With that he made his way back to his office and as the Chief Justice he sat behind his imposing mahogany desk in the room.His eyes were fixed on the small, sleek flash drive that had been tossed on the table. The audacity of Liam to think of doing this hit him but he smiled while the question popped in his mind.Who did he think he was, trying to blackmail him?What was on his mind?Curiosity getting the better of him, Rodriguez inserted the drive into his computer and waited as the files began to load. Suddenly, the screen flickered to life, revealing an array of documents and recordings. Rodriguez's eyes widened on seeing the images which had himself includ

Madam Aurelia began walking in circles inside the living room as thoughts of what they were going to do next consumed her thoughts. She was still recovering from what she had seen in the file that Dave had brought, and the evidence was sickening. There was no doubt as to whether Karl and Rodriguez were crooks, and should they manage to expose them, it would definitely influence the outcome in their favor.Liam walked into the room, “Did you manage to find anything good among the papers?” He inquired, looking eager and hopeful.“Yes.” Madam Aurelia replied, gripping the folder firmly. “There are records of money movement as well as transactions which are quite illicit. If we conduct this campaign in the proper manner and present the right audiences with this evidence, the extent of Karl and Rodriguez’s dealings… It would be interesting corruption news that will come to light.”“Then we have no time to waste.” Liam affirmed in his stern tone. “Whatever this information gives us, they

256. This is perfect!
Liam stepped out of Tyler Greene’s office with a heavy heart, blaming himself for keeping his expectations high. He had wanted a better answer than that. However, Tyler’s indecision was a cause for concern. Time was running fast and voices of opposition against Karl were still weak. During the drive home, Liam found himself troubled. Would Tyler really lend his support for the cause? Or was he simply yet another hindrance in their efforts? He needed to collect his mind and think of a way out but he was too worried to even think properly. Instead of heading to him, Liam headed to the hotel to meet with Madam Aurelia who sat in the living room in the living room on his arrival. Her face was solemn, though she appeared to be happy with his arrival. “How did the meeting with Tyler go?” she asked, concern evident in her tones.“It didn’t go as well as I hoped.” Liam admitted, ruffling his hair. “He is not willing to take any actions against Karl, and I am afraid he has no nerves f
