Chapter 98When Liam arrived at the family mansion, the first person he came across was Nathan who was on his way out. Immediately Nathan realized he was the one approaching him, he halted and with his hands wrapped across his chest, said, “I thought you wanted to move, what are you still doing here?” “I want to thank granny for granting my wish.” Liam replied with a smirk, watching the blood on Nathan's face drying up at his words. “Okay.” He nodded and then stepped aside, creating room for passage. Just when Liam was about to grab the handle of the door, he cleared his throat to get his attention and immediately he got it, with a hoarse voice, he said, “According to Naya, you guys are moving into a duplex of high taste, how were you able to get the money.” “I worked my ass off.” He didn't wait to hear more of his talks, instead he pushed the door in, ushering himself into the living room. Fortunately for him, he didn't have to request Granny Elena's presence since she was in t
Chapter 99Pressing his lips tightly together into a thin line, Liam shook his head sideways before attempting to wriggle from her grip but surprisingly, her grip was strong on him. “Get off already.” He chided but she didn't let go of his hand, rather, she pulled herself up, smiling like she just won a lottery.“Why do you keep pushing me away?” She groaned and then burped. “You're drunk, please get some rest.” He tried to make her lie on the bed but she wouldn't agree. She kept on leaning towards him until their skin was brushing against the other. “Please… stop pushing me away, it hurts.” She groaned. Staring down at her, Liam pushed his free hand into his hair and then let out a low grunt of frustration. With Lily, it was different since he had invested his time and everything he had in him into their three years relationship only to get heartbroken. Being intimate with her back then wasn't a hassle. Whenever she initiated it, he always responded to it but with Naya it was d
Chapter 100Now seated behind a table in the cafeteria for dinner, Liam, who had been pondering on how Dave was able to come up with an idea on how to crush their opponent was picking on his food as he cast Dave frequent stares. When he couldn't keep his question to himself anymore, he leaned forward and with his hands clasped in front of him, asked, “Is there something I need to know?”“I already said I was a black hat hacker, I wasn't bluffing.” Dave replied, not bothering to take his eyes off his plate of food. Deep down, he was mad at himself for being unable to keep his identity a secret. He never wanted anyone to know about his hacking skills but since the situation needed it, he had no choice but to help. “Whoa! I thought you were bluffing back there.” Sam chuckled lightly. Suddenly, he pushed his hand forward and with a grin plastered on his face, he said, “You guys are cool. I'm the only one who isn't cool here.” He said the last part with a huff and then pushed a piece of
Chapter 101Immediately he finished speaking with his mother, Liam returned to the rest of the team who were waiting for him to finish up. “I'm sorry, I needed to receive they call.” He said, taking his position beside Dave who was looking around the vicinity. While Sam chattered, talking about his experience at somewhere he had paid a visit to, Liam was staring intently at Dave. Nudging him after a while, he said, “Are you this quiet?” “Uhm… do you want me to speak with you?” Dave asked, giving him a quick glance before kicking a stone and sending it into the air. “Not really.” Liam chuckled. Pushing his hand into his hair, he tugged on it for a while before saying, “You see, I'm not really a fan of quiet people. Their silence makes me so uncomfortable and…” “You think I'm brewing something evil in my head.” He interrupted, giving him a brief look. “Come on, that's not it.” Still chuckling, Liam placed his hand around his neck, “Even at that, I'm scared of you.” He replied, sm
Chapter 102Now seated on the couch with his legs across the other, Mr. Jones was staring at Dave. Just like Liam had a mixed feeling about his presence in the team, he too developed those feelings but after a little research, all his worries went into the thin air. The reason he had provided them with vague information was because he didn't want to get too involved; otherwise, all the praises would be ascribed to him and not the boys who had worked so hard to see to the success of the mission. “You seem versatile and so you're the best person to handle this job.” he said, giving Dave a thumbs up which he didn't react to. Seconds later, Sam was standing in front of Dave and with his hands wrapped across his chest, he parted his lips in a bid to start speaking but he didn't get the chance. “Are you good at stalking?” Dave asked, brushing past him. “Stalking?” “Yeah. You're going to stalk Tyler Moore… just in case, he has a black belt in taekwondo, swift and slippery.” “What?”
Chapter 103Instead of the manager letting Dave go like Kaiser had wanted, he pulled him to his office and after yelling at him, asked him to take the night off. Falling on his knees, Dave placed his hand together, “Pardon me, this won't repeat itself, I promise.” He cried, making the manager's head burst with pride. “Fine, you can stay but avoid serving those guys.” He said and after giving his shoulder a friendly pat, he asked him to leave. Now outside the casino, Sam who had been notified of the failed mission immediately pulled him to the side. “Are you alright?” He asked, concern written all over his face as he peered into his eyes. “Yeah.” Dave nodded, digging his hand into his hair. Feeling bad for Dave who was at the verge of breakthrough, Sam pulled him into a hug only to receive a punch on his chin. “Have you lost it?” Rubbing his aching cheeks with a scowl on his face, Sam yelled, “I was trying to comfort you. I know what it feels to be a loser.” “Discard those clo
Chapter 104With his life flashing before his very eyes, Liam continued his death race against time. He already knew something of this sort was going to happen and so he had fully equipped himself for it. While leaving the library earlier, he had stolen a book which he intended to return when it was all over. Seeing that no matter what he did, these men who were desperate to get into the good books of their boss were going to catch up with him, he fell onto the ground with a thud, feigning to be tired. From their safe corner where they were watching the scene, Sam was already shaking with fear. Several times already, he had suggested to Dave that they would go rescue him but he had blatantly refused, saying he would pull through on his own. It was already getting so intense and when Sam couldn't take it anymore, he broke from Dave's grip only to find himself lying on the ground with blood in his mouth.“Stop acting tough when you're not. Liam will pull through this, stay back and
Chapter 105Half an hour before the plane would land on the airstrip, Mr. Jones went about waking the sleepy boys who still showed signs of being tired from the mission. When the plane finally landed, each with their bag hanging on their shoulders made their way towards the stairs. “Thank you so much for making this mission a successful one.” Mr. Jones said on the top of his voice. “Can we leave already? I need to get a lot of rest.” Dave said, wiping his eyes with the back of his palm. Due to his involvement in something he had sworn to pull himself from, he had difficulty being sleepy during the flight. “Yes and please ensure you get enough rest.” “Yes sir.” Sam yawned, drawing his feet after Dave who was heading towards the taxi that was going to convey them to their various destinations.Just when Liam was about to go with them, Mr. Jones pulled him back making him wince. Like the others, he was tired and was in a dire need of rest. “I will come over during the day.” He said
