Rise Of The World's Overlord 40. Back and forths.
Chapter 40Despite Liam's earlier refusal of living in the side house as Granny Elena had wished, he had no choice but to move in after several back and forths between him and Naya. Now sitting at the foot of his old bed in his apartment, he had his head buried in his palm as he bit his bottom lips. Shaking his legs widely, he began to think of the perfect way to break the news to Rose. With each step he took, he always cooked up a story in his head that he was going to tell Rose when she eventually finds out and this was not any different. “How am I going to cope with this?” He asked aloud, digging his hand into his hair. “Even though mother wants me to stay hidden, she would do something if she finds out I'm living here.” He muttered, tilting his head to the side. This time around, Rose was the least of his problems, it was his mother because he felt she was going to insist that he move into the apartment she was going to get for him. Still in this state, he heard a knock on hi
Rise Of The World's Overlord 41. The competition.
Chapter 41 The moment the competition wrapped up finally, armed with his prize, Liam began to head towards the exit, ignoring the crowd of several people who wanted to take a photo with him or even engage him in a chit chat. While others considered it rude, a few others felt he was overwhelmed and so they made no comment to his action. “I really can't believe you are leaving without me.” Jake said, halting Liam on his tracks. He had been on his tail ever since he left the podium but Liam had no idea about it until now. “I'm sorry but I have somewhere to be.” “Somewhere to be? We ought to be celebrating your success now. You're the trending search now on all websites and you have to… is it about Rose, she would understand.” “It's not about her.” He said hurriedly, digging his hands into his hair. After tugging on it for a while, he resumed running and this time around Jake didn't bother to go with him. “Man is acting strange nowadays.” Jake muttered, turning around only to see a
Rise Of The World's Overlord 42. Can we talk?
Chapter 42Liam felt someone behind him but he didn't react to it thinking it was either Sam or Nathan who had come to pick on him.When Naya stopped talking, it was then he decided to swirl around and almost immediately, he locked eyes with Silvan who was staring back at him with so much hate. It was as if the next minute, he was going to drill a hole inside of him with his intense glare. “Hey Silvan, come and join us.” Naya invited, patting the empty seat next to her. Liam didn't say anything to this, rather he kept staring back at Silvan who wouldn't take his eyes off him. He only let go of his gaze when Naya held his hand under the table and at once he buried his head. “Hey Silvan, been a while, you're good?” Naya asked, filling his glass with wine. “Yeah.” Nodding towards Liam who still has his head buried, he said, “He is not of your class, how did he even get into the party.” Slightly annoyed with what he had just said, she passed him a glare and then held Liam's Hand on
Rise Of The World's Overlord 43. ...to spark up my emotions.
Chapter 43At first, Silvan thought Mr. Jones wanted to make fun of Liam too but when he went further to grab Liam's arm, he knew he was serious. Now staring at him with a raised brow, he asked, “What is going on here?” Silvan asked, alternating glances between Liam and Mr. Jones. “I need to speak to him privately.” Mr. Jones replied and at once, Silvan shot his head upwards. “Let's go.” Mr. Jones said the second time. This time around, Liam didn't pretend as if he hadn't heard him speak, rather, he pushed his chair backwards and then rose. “Yeah!” He nodded. While Mr. Jones turned around to leave, Silvan grabbed his shoulder forcefully and then made him sit back on the chair. He was wearing a disgusting scowl on his face. “Who is Mr. Jones to you? Are you his driver?” He asked, digging his nails into Liam's shoulder who winced in response since it hurted. Titling his head to the side, he grabbed the edge of the table and the next time he turned in his direction, he pushed his
Rise Of The World's Overlord 44. Buisness partner?
Chapter 44At the end of the banquet, Liam was drained and he didn't bother to hide it. All through the homeward drive, he was asleep while Naya kept chattering. When she discovered he wasn't awake, she pressed her lips into a thin line and then fell back into the leather seat shutting her eyes. “Who is Liam?” This was the question that had been ringing in her head ever since Mr. Jones wouldn't stop introducing them to men of high status. Thanks to Mr. Jones, she got to meet a more superior family that hers was a no match for. Some didn't even have any idea if the Ornery existed and that's when she realized they were below in the social ladder of the elites. Snapping her eyes open, she took a long look at Liam who was sleeping peacefully. Unable to bear the curiosity that was threatening to tear her apart, she pulled her phone out of her purse and then took a quick photo of his face.The next minute, she had uploaded it on a search website if she could get any information about h
Rise Of The World's Overlord 45. A proposal.
Chapter 45Darting her eyes around and at the same time fiddling with her fingers, Naya tried to come up with a response but she couldn't find the nerves to do so. Just like Liam, she felt it was unjust but at the same time she was offered a spot in the company which she had always wanted. It was a hard decision for her to make but she must give a response that same evening, otherwise the opportunity will be withdrawn from her. “Granny, don't you think you are being hard on Naya? She can't even speak to us properly without taking her eyes off and you want her to speak with Mr. Jones of all people?” Sam asked, getting a nod from Nathan in support. “The truth is, Maya has no idea about a tech company, how is she going to convince someone who is well versed in the field to work for her. It's impossible.” Nathan was the one who spoke this time around. “I understand your concerns. The price attached to the assignment is a huge one and so she has to work for it.” Granny Elena replied,
Rise Of The World's Overlord 46. "You suck at flattering"
Chapter 46The following day, immediately the alarm went off, Liam threw his leg off his bed and then dashed into the bathroom. After a warm bath, he returned to his room and then pulled out the newest outfit he had gotten for this occasion and with a bright smile he dressed up. Today was Monday and it was his first day at work at AI technology. He was super excited that after studying all through the night, he couldn't keep still until sleep stole him away. While he was still dressing up, a knock was heard and at once he said, “Come in.” He knew it was Naya on the other end. Grinning from side to side, Naya walked into his room and took her seat on the feet of his bed. After looking around for a while, she snapped her head in his direction, only to be greeted with his broad back, staring back at her. Pursing her lips, she pulled herself up and then walked to his mini library and then began to study the cover page of any book she picked up. “Are you interested in tech?” Liam ask
Rise Of The World's Overlord 47. Your action speaks volumes.
Chapter 47Immediately Liam got to his room, he pulled out his laptop from this backpack and then connected the flash drive to it. For a moment, he couldn't comprehend when he was scrolling through and so he left the table only to return half an hour later to resume from where he had stopped. Midway through his work, Naya poked her head through his door and then made a slurping sound. She was holding a plate of noodles as she stared at him. “Are you skipping dinner?” She asked.“I will have mine after this.” He replied, nodding at his screen. Slumping her shoulders, she turned to leave and once she was in her room, she headed straight to her bed and fell on it with a sigh. Fiddling with her fingers for a while, she began to review her decision which had led to her current position. She was regretting her decisions already and was wishing the hand of time could be turned back.She wouldn't have introduced Liam as the strange man and then she wouldn't be in the mess she has created
