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was a hard decision for her to make but she must give a response that same evening, otherwise the opportunity will be withdrawn from her.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,

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

Chapter 48Chuckling lightly , Maxwell walked up to where Silvan stood. Just as he was about to touch him, Silvan sent him a stern look which made him halt. “Sir…” “Get this filthy thing out of here this minute.” He yelled, pushing Liam's backpack off the table but before it could get to the ground, Liam was quick to grab it. “Get out, are you still sitting here?” He yelled in his face. “My boss asked me to be here. I shouldn't leave without his authorization.” Liam replied calmly, his gaze still rooted to the ground. His response did nothing but to increase Silvan rage that the next minute he was pacing to and fro in circles. “I think you should leave from here.” A bothered Maxwell said. Silvan Hayden was well known in the world of technology and apart from that, his family organisation, the Hayden Group was bigger than AI technology and so everything that could be done to appease him was always done. “But sir, Mr. Jones asked me to be present at the meeting at eight am. I wi
Rise Of The World's Overlord 49. Hayden Group.
Chapter 49Hayden Group was one of the biggest groups in the state and its environs. They were known for their groundbreaking achievement and versatility in the field, hence their popularity. The Ornery family was nothing near them and that's why there wasn't any form of collaboration between them, the same applies to the AI technology. The only reason why they were being affiliated to them was the driving force that was solidly behind them — Mr. Jones superiors like they normally say. “Sir, like I said earlier, Xander Smith can't handle this. It is beyond his expertise, otherwise, I would have handed the job to him.” Mr. Jones said. Leaning toward him with his hands clasped, he said, “I know you have a special liking for Xander but please don't let that overshadow that of William Armani here. He is as good as Xander, just that he is an intern.” “Can you listen to yourself speak?” Silvan snapped at him, wearing a smirk on his lips. “How can an intern be better than his superior?

Chapter 50With Silvan and Mr. Jones gone, Aria pulled out the chair next to Liam and then buried her head on the table for a while. When she finally shot it upwards, she took in a deep breath, her gaze on Liam before saying, “Have you met with Silvan Hayden before now?” She was asking this question because of how Silvan had treated him less than a human.Though she was furious and even wanted to put an end to the bully, she didn't have the authority to do so, otherwise she was going to lose her job. “Yeah.” Liam replied, nodding his head as he bit his lips. This time around, he didn't restrict himself from smiling. Moreover, Silvan was nowhere to be found anymore. With his hands folded across his chest,he leaned backwards, his gaze on the chair Silvan had occupied a while ago. “He was bent on tearing you into pieces. Looks like he really wanted to get rid of you.” She mused. Leaning towards him with her hands clasped, she raised her brow before saying. “Tell me, did you steal an
Rise Of The World's Overlord 51. ...he asked with an icy tone.
Chapter 51Immediately he stepped out of the company, Xander who had been trailing after him, walked up to him, blocking his path. “Hey.” He said with a smirk on his lips.“Hey.” Liam replied, grasping his backpack more tightly than ever. He already knew what Xander wanted from him and so he was getting himself prepared for it. “Can we talk? The cafeteria.” “Uhm… is it urgent? I need to be somewhere as soon as possible. I'm sorry.” He said, trying to walk past him but Xander pulled him back. This time around, with a stern voice, he said, “Come with me now.” He didn't wait for Liam to even respond to him before he headed into the building and Liam had no choice but to follow him.Now sitting opposite each other in the cafeteria, a cup of coffee in front of them, Xander looked around for a while before focusing his attention on Liam who had been staring at him. “What do you think you did back there?” He asked with an icy tone. “I don't understand what you're driving at.” Liam repl
Rise Of The World's Overlord 52. The car was tension filled.
Chapter 52 For the next few minutes, the car was tension filled, no one talking to the other, just staring. While Naya was still pondering on the possibility of it, Wren was wondering what was going on. He was lost in the whole thing and the more he tried to wrap his head around it, the more difficult it was for him. “Ma'am I don't know why you are thinking in that direction but one thing for sure is, siblings tend to act this way most times.” He said breaking the silence in the car. Naya shot her head upwards only to turn around the next minute as she bit her bottom lips. “I guess Wren is right. I didn't get to feel this love as a child even from my family, let alone my cousins.” She muttered, her gaze outside the window as she stared at the hospital. “I understand.” She said and with a low sigh, pushed her phone inside her purse. “Let's proceed.” She said, trying to forget about how she felt. When Liam got to the ward, it took a while before he pushed the door in and even whe

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
