Rise Of The World's Overlord 67. He keeps saving me.
Chapter 67After about half an hour of being in so much discomfort, Naya finally relaxed and Liam let out a gasp of relief, grateful that nothing serious had happened. Now sitting on the couch that overlooked the bed, he never allowed his eyes to leave her even for once as he wondered what it was all about. The last time he checked, he hadn't offended anyone to the point that they wanted to pin a murder on him. He believed that Naya was lucky to pull off alive because it was an uncommon miracle.Since she was acting uncomfortable, he felt that the person behind it all had spiked her drink with a lethal quality and if anything eventually happened to her, all blame would be pushed on him. Letting out a low sigh, he sank deeper into the couch and then began to fiddle with the flash drive he was holding. Smiling, he continued this repeated motion. He was itching to view the content but his laptop wasn't handy and he couldn't risk sticking the flash drive into another device, lest it g

Chapter 68 All through the drive to their home, Naya had her gaze out of the window as she reviewed all that had happened in her head. Had it been Liam hadn't come to her aid again, she might have ended up in the back books of her grandmother for denting the family name by sleeping with a random guy for the second time.The thought of this made her shudder as her resentment for Nathan, Sandra and Sam grew. Even though Nathan wasn't present, she still felt he had a role to play in it. Blinking her eyes rapidly, she tried to forget about what had happened but she just couldn't. It was as if it had been stamped permanently to her memory and she was going to live with it for the rest of her life. Casting Liam a glance, she saw him fiddling with a flash drive. She wanted to ask him what it contained but when she remembered he had Mr. Jones's project at hand, she kept her questions to herself. About half an hour later, Wren pulled up in the garage. Stressed from the day's event and th
Rise Of The World's Overlord 69. The competition.
Chapter 69After leaving the hospital and promising Rose that he was going to visit her after the competition which was scheduled to be held the following day, he returned home.Since it was already late, he planned out that he was going to grab a late-night snack afterward and proceed to bed so he would be fully rested for the following day. Pushing the door open, the first thing that attracted him when he got in was the light in Naya's room. She had been waiting for his arrival so she could show him the proposal she had written.All through the day, she had been trying to come up with the best work to please Liam and even decided to stay up until he returned. She was already drifting off when the door creaked open and immediately, she got off her study table, and with the speed of lightning, made her way downstairs to go meet with him. Smiling broadly, she showed off the screen of her iPad to him with a bright smile on her face. She was expecting him to reciprocate it but instead
Rise Of The World's Overlord 70. What's this issue?
Chapter 70When Naya first arrived at the venue which was Liam's university, she was taken aback by the large amount of cars that were lined up in the school premises and so she allowed her mouth to drop open. Seeing this, Wren turned around and with a little chuckle, asked, “What is the issue?” “The population, I know it's a national competition but I don't have an idea that it would be packed full this way. Not going to lie, I'm overwhelmed by it all.” She said, smacking her lips, still rolling her eyes in amazement. After what seemed like forever, she pushed the door open, followed by Wren who felt that since Liam wasn't anywhere near her, he should accompany her. Just when they were about to get inside the building, the gathering of a group of people talking about the competition attracted Naya, and with deliberate steps, she made her way towards them. “You think a hackathon is like that staged scene of the previous time.” An elderly woman yelled. She was angry with the fact
Rise Of The World's Overlord 71. I'm not going to slack.
Chapter 71Rolling her eyes to the back of her head, Naya wrapped her hands across her chest as she scowled at the woman who was still ranting.She was glad that she had tipped her off since that was the only thing she could do to repay Liam for coming through for her several times. “This is the only way I can thank Liam for all that he has been doing and I'm not going to slack.” She said with a huff. Ignoring the lady who was still throwing tantrums, she turned towards the building and began to walk in that direction, with her head pushed upward and a bright smile on her face. The competition was about to start when she walked in and she counted herself lucky even though she hadn't found a seat in the hall yet because of the massive population. Staring at Liam who was being displayed on the screen with admiration, she didn't bother finding a seat until Wren grabbed her hand and then led her to the seat he had secured for her. The competition was going to be held in three phases
Rise Of The World's Overlord 72. "You guys did a great job."
Chapter 72Jake began to tremble all of a sudden. He was scared to even stare at the screen since they had just two minutes left before the timer went off. Even before the result was announced, he had begun to feel like a failure and was already facepalming himself for getting too involved in the competition only to lose with just a point. Nudging him, Liam tried to get his attention but he ignored him totally. He felt he was the one who had made them loose and Liam was about to chide him for it. “Cut it man.” Liam chided, hitting his shoulder slightly.Just as Jake raised his head, the timer went off and he sank into his seat with his head buried to the floor. Now worried that something had happened to him, Liam held his shoulder.“What is it?” Liam asked, shaking his shoulders. Amidst the noise in the hall, he was more concerned about how his friend was faring and was getting scared that something had gone wrong. Still trying to get his attention, the school representative walke
Rise Of The World's Overlord 73. Cheers to more wins.
Chapter 73Shocked to see her, didn't know how to react to the surprise as she kept congratulating him repeatedly. It took Liam's and Jake's joint efforts to get her down; otherwise, she was ready to cling to him, not minding the cameras that were flashing and taking a record of everything that was happening. Now holding her shoulders, Liam stared deep into her eyes, trying to get his answers from them even without asking questions but all he could see was joy glistening in them.It was as if she was the one who had won the competition and this alone made him pull her to himself, crushing her in a bear hug. This was the first time someone apart from Jake and Rose was showing sincere care about his success. Overwhelmed, a lone tear escaped from his eyes while Naya sobbed over his shoulder. She couldn't contain the happiness that was running through her veins no matter how much she tried. “Liam, it's time for the press conference.” Jake said, breaking into their moment.Naya having
Rise Of The World's Overlord 74. She was being sincere.
Chapter 74After a lengthy talk with Rose, Liam returned to the table to join Naya and Jake who were chatting heartily like they had known each other for a while now.He joined in the conversation and it kept on going that they lost count of time until Wren whom had refused to sit on the same table with them arrived and told them that it was late. “Where do you live?” Naya asked Jake. “The School dormitory.” he replied, already thinking of heading to the Bus stop so he would return to school. “Wren, please you will drop him off before you take us home.” She said and he nodded. Now on her feet, she began to walk behind him while Jake and Liam remained on the table for a while. Leaning towards Liam, Jake hit his shoulder lightly and with a bright smile on his face he asked, “Is she putting up this act?” “What are you talking about?” Liam replied with a raised brow.“Her behavior.” he said, hitting his palm against the table, he said, “I haven't seen a rich girl this humble before.

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
