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.
Rise Of The World's Overlord 75.Are you accepting the offer?
Chapter 75Liam still left his hand suspended until Naya who felt it was getting too dangerous since all gaze were now on him kicked him from under the table. “What are you saying to it? Are you accepting the offer?” Granny Elena asked. She was impatient waiting for his response but since she needed him, she tried not to throw a fit about it. Titling his head to the side, Liam dropped his cutlery and with his hands clasped his took in a deep breath. After looking around for a while, he snapped his head upwards. “Thank you Grandma, i appreciate your effort in trying to help me with a job but… I'm not an intern at AI technology.” He said, pressing his lips into a thin line, he tried to complete his statement only for Nathan to cut in. “Who do you think is dumb here? You better get a grip on yourself and stop acting overboard.” He snapped. “He thinks since Mr. Jones showed him around he is going to get a job there. After the internship, you still have a long way to go. Grandma is ju
Rise Of The World's Overlord 76. "It's just a minor issue."
Chapter 76It was now two days since after the competition and for that two days, Liam had made sure he got enough rest against the workload that he was going to be ladened with when he resumed work. That morning, Naya walked up to him with a long face. Pushing her iPad in front of him, she flopped on the seat next to him and with her hands across her chest, she said, “If only you agreed to look at the proposal the last time, I wouldn't be rejected.” she said with a scowl. “What are you talking about?” Liam asked, raising his brow at her. When she didn't say anything, he scrolled through her iPad and was able to detect the error almost immediately.Smiling at her, he patted her hand that was resting on the table but the scowl never left her face. “It's just a minor issue.” He said as he scrolled through his phone. After sending file to her which she received immediately, he said, “Add it to the proposal, you're good to go.” He said. “Sure? You mean I don't need to change anything?
Rise Of The World's Overlord 77. ...kept throwing tantrums.
Chapter 77Silvan kept throwing tantrums, making claims that Liam was busy trying to get back at him after their last encounter in the boardroom and so a professional from another company was invited to check what Liam said and to his disappointment, Liam's claim was verified. “With all fingers pointing out to you now, the penalty for breaching the contract will be put in place now.” Mr. Jones said. Aria immediately pressed a button and at once the official document regarding a contract breach was displayed on the screen.“If you think we are being unfair here, don't hesitate to file a lawsuit.” Mr. Jones said.Scowling, Silvan raised his hand above his head and with a hard voice said, “Just get ready with your legal team if I discover it's all a sham. Meanwhile, I will pay for the contract breach.” After the whole boardroom saga had been rectified, Liam took his leave. He was heading to his office when Silvan's voice filtered in his head and at once he halted, turning slowly in hi
Rise Of The World's Overlord 78. You're late!
Chapter 78The following day, since Naya had to meet with Mr. Jones and other members of the board of directors, she woke up as early as possible and by seven am, she was already out with Wren.Since it was unusual and they didn't discuss anything about it the previous day, Liam was scared that something had happened. At first, he didn't want to call her but when he remembered she was his responsibility and per adventure something happens to her he would be held responsible for it, he dialed her contact. “Good morning sleepy head.” Naya shrieked on the other end. They were almost getting to their destination. Hearing her calm voice, Liam was relieved but that didn't make him hung up. Rubbing his nape, he leaned against the cold wall, “Where are you?” “Oops, sorry I forgot to tell you about it last night. I got an email inviting me to AI tech for the contract signing.” She replied hurriedly, biting her bottom lips as she hoped he wasn't furious with her. Exhaling deeply, he cross
Rise Of The World's Overlord 79. Are you certain about this?
Chapter 79Liam didn't act as if he had heard anyone speak, rather, he resumed eating like no one was there, making the cousins pissed. Granny Elena didn't react to any of this. Of course she was wondering how possible Naya's claim was but she didn't show. “Why will I make up stories? Do you guys really take me for a joke?” Naya asked with a raised brow. She was glaring murderously at her cousins now who were acting carefree. Crossing her hand on her chest, she scoffed. “Stop making a mountain out of a molehill. Liam didn't offer to help you. You're just trying to push him upwards so he would get recognition.” Sam said. Before Naya could give a response to this, Nathan cleared his throat noisily and immediately all attention was fixed on him, he clasped his hand and then leaned towards Naya since she was directly opposite him. “Are you trying desperately to increase the rank of your lowlife husband? For crying out loud, he has nothing to offer and so he should stay hidden.” The
Rise Of The World's Overlord 80. I want to be like you.
Chapter 80Liam still didn't give her a response, instead he pulled himself up and then walked across the room, his hands tucked into his pockets. “Why do you think your family wants me badly?” He asked, smacking his lips. “Because, you're good.” She said and he huffed, cranking his head to the side. “Come on, I'm not pulling your legs here. I'm being sincere.” She mused, twirling her hair in her fingers. Since Liam was the first person she had met who was always succeeding in any job he was assigned to no matter how hard it may seem, she was proud of him and wouldn't stop admiring his prowess. “I wish I could be as skilled as you are. Seeing you win and making your employer proud makes me happy and I want to be like you.” she muttered. Snapping her head upwards with her hands resting on her side, she added with a serious tone, “I mean it. I mean everything I have said about being like you. If I had the opportunity to make choices for myself while growing up, I would have been

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
