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

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

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

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

261. It's all in the past.
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

259. "Take this call!"
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

257. A risk we must take.
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

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.”

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
