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
Rise Of The World's Overlord 53. With a nervous smile...
Chapter 53Shocked by the question, Naya who had a smile on her face switched to a different expression entirely as she stared back at Rose who was waiting for her response. “Is it that difficult to answer?” Rose's voice made Naya snap her head upwards. Smiling nervously at her, she tilted her head to the side when her phone suddenly began to ring. Taking this as a cue, she took an excuse and then left the ward. Even after speaking with the caller, she didn't return to the ward immediately. She remained in the hallways, pacing to and fro with her hands clutching her gown. At intervals, she would look back at the ward only to return her gaze the next minute with a little sigh. “Seems like she doesn't like me just like her brother.” She muttered absentmindedly, almost bumping into the gurney that held a patient. “I'm sorry.” She apologized with her head bent to the ground but no one paid her any head since they were all in a hurry. Now leaning against the wall, she exhaled deeply,
Rise Of The World's Overlord 54. "Your new girlfriend is pretty"
Chapter 54“Ta-da, I'm back.” Liam said, poking his head through the door, alternating his gaze from one girl to the other. “Hey… I thought you got lost or something.” Rose said, smacking her lips as she leaned into her pillow, a bright smile etched on her face. Before Liam arrived, she wanted to engage Naya in a heartfelt conversation but he came along and then interrupted their discussion. “I had to wait for the drinks to get cold. Seems they just refilled the cooling van.” He said with a shrug, placing what he had got on the table before he went ahead to dispatch them. “Thank you.” Naya said after she received hers and Liam reacted with a nod. “Aren't you going to eat yours now? Nurse Lila would be here any moment from now to perform her routine check.” He said, poking Rose who was examining the bottle. “I wanted to check the percentage of caffeine.” She said, uncorking the bottle. The next minute, she was digging into her snacks with relish since it had been a while since sh
Rise Of The World's Overlord 55. I must commend her resilience!
Chapter 55When he got to the doctor's office, after knocking on the door twice, he pushed the door in. “Good morning doc.” He said. Doctor Francis, who seemed busy with the patients' files that were on his table, immediately snapped his head up at his greetings with a bright smile on his lips.“I haven't seen you in forever, what's the issue? School work?” He asked, gesturing for him to take his seat. “Yeah.” Liam nodded, returning his smile. “Thank you for taking care of Rose. She's now in perfect health.”“Not in perfect health yet… she still has a little more to go. In between, I must commend her resilience.” “I want to ask about her discharge, when is it going to be?” “In two weeks.” He replied, pulling a file from his table. “That's fair, by then, she will be perfect.” He said with a broad grin. He was sincerely happy that she was going to get discharged soon, bringing to an end her confinement in bed and in the hospital. Rubbing his hands in a glee, he wanted to start neg
Rise Of The World's Overlord 56. "Bring him down"
Chapter 56“Oh boy, how did you know we were here?” Jake asked with a chuckle as he walked up to him.“Bring him down.” Liam said through gritted teeth as he stared at his friend, Jake, that was suspended to the ceiling and was hanging upside down like a bat. “Why should I take instructions from you?” Leaning towards him, he grabbed his shoulder, digging his nails into them with a smile playing on his lips. “You think I was going to let go of you after making fun of me at the restaurant? Nah, I don't forgive easily.” He chuckled and the next minute, his hand was above his head in readiness to send them to Liam's face. Before he could make the attempt, Liam ducked, grabbed his hand and then twirled it so hard until he heard a cracking sound. “Are you alright?” Jake asked, only to earn himself a hit from a baseball bat. “What are you guys waiting for? Beat him up.” Jake yelled at his friends who immediately rushed towards Liam. One after the other, they tried to attack him but see
Rise Of The World's Overlord 57. He decided to act contrary.
Chapter 57Tired from running around since the day began, Liam walked towards his bed and after allowing his backpack slid over his shoulder onto the ground he fell on the bed with a sigh and his eyes tightly shut only to hear the crashing sound from the living room.Wondering what might have gone wrong, he quickly pulled himself up and with a speed of lightning, he dashed out of the room, poking his head through the door.“Is everything alright?” He asked but he didn't get a response to his question. Pursing his lips, he began to look around in hopes to find clues to answer his questions when his eyes fell on the broken pieces of glass just in front of him.Without a word, he went to get the brush and dustpan and when he was done with this proceeded to go meet with Naya who had her hands wrapped around her body as she stared into space. “What is the issue, you seem to be bothered.” He said with a little voice, giving her a probing stare so she would say what the issue was but her li
Rise Of The World's Overlord 58. "I'm sorry."
Chapter 58Having no answer to his question, Naya was just staring back at him, her lips quivering as she tried to come up with an answer. That morning after he had rushed out, she was enraged and so her mind began to run haywire, cooking up different scenarios for her and when she could bear it anymore, she decided to follow after him. She was curious and wanted to find out what he was really up to. Seeing Liam's angry stare, she couldn't bring herself to give him a response because she feared it was going to skyrocket his anger to the point where he wouldn't be able to control himself anymore. Biting her lips she bent her head, “I'm sorry.” “I didn't ask for your apology. I just want to know your reasons… reasons why you decided to tail me. It's not as if I told a lie, right from the very beginning, I had been always transparent with you… seems like you're still having a hard time trusting me.” He said with a shrug. Still having her head bowed to the ground, Naya let out a sigh
Rise Of The World's Overlord 59. Yes, I am married!
Chapter 59The next day, Naya woke up with a splitting headache which made her grab her head with both hands as she winced in pain. For more than five minutes, she remained in one spot, trying to remember the event of the previous night but her head was blank. Reaching out for her phone on the lamp stand, she turned it on only to see a message from Liam and at once she clicked it. 'Some hangover medicine is on the table.’ — the message read. Without giving it a second thought, she made her way towards the table and shoved the drugs down her throat before emptying the bottle of water down her gullet. Though her splitting headache was abated she was still under the effect of the drug that she had to walk slowly towards her bed and then slump on it with a thud. The next time she woke up, it was already past eight am and once again on her study table was a tray of food. She didn't need anyone to tell her it was all Liam's handiwork and so she immediately reached out for it. Shoving

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
