Charles and Henry had already left Nathan’s mansion for their respective homes that morning because Nathan wasn't at home and it feels empty without him and Charles needed to see his father that morning.The excited Nathan followed Jackson to the private gym.“I think I should go to my room and change into something more appropriate for training. What do you think?”“For starters, I’ll say you train in this outfit. The first rule of training, get comfortable in whatever you wear because you can’t tell when the enemy will attack.” Jackson replied.Nathan placed his hands on his hips. “I think I love where this is going.”“Have you ever attacked anyone before?” Jackson demanded and began to take off his shoes.Nathan swung his head from left to right. “I’ve never actually launched an attack on anyone. Most of the fights I’ve engaged in were triggered by defense mechanisms.”“I see!”Nathan placed his right leg in front, his left leg behind, and clenched his fists. “You want me to show y
Chapter 104“There you go!” Jackson presented a glass of red wine to Nathan. Nathan took it with a smile. “Thank you, Jackson.”After taking a two hours nap, Nathan decided to join Jackson downstairs. They were still at the Alcantara estate. “Seems like you didn’t take a nap.” Nathan pointed out after Jackson sat right next to him. Jackson gave a half smile. “I took a shower and wanted to sleep but I couldn’t. I guess it’s because I only take naps maybe once or twice a week.”“Woah! Once or twice a week?”Jackson affirmed with a nod. “Yes, boss!”“Well, on occasions where there’s nothing to do, I’ll suggest you head to your room and get some rest, Jackson,” Nathan advised. Jackson chuckled. “I know Mike told you to watch over me and never let me go out of your sight but you know that’s a cliché right?”Jackson gulped down his wine and slapped the glass on the table. “Don’t worry about me, boss. By the way, you performed well at the training today.”Nathan went for his glass. “You
Chapter 105 “What’s the time Jackson?” Nathan demanded. There was a Rolex on his left wrist but his mind had drifted away from it. “It’s twenty minutes to 7 pm boss,” Jackson replied after checking his phone. “Damn it!” Nathan groaned. “Don’t worry boss. We are just ten minutes late.” Jackson assured him. “Drive faster, Larry,” Nathan said. At 6:45 pm, Larry wheeled the G-wagon inside Hilton Park. He aimed for one of the vacant open parking spaces and parked the vehicle there. Jackson quickly stepped out of the car and open the car door for Nathan. Nathan stepped out and began taking fast steps after Jackson. By the time Nathan and Jackson arrived at the hall, all members of the millionaires club were already seated. Nathan was smartly dressed in a Brioni suit with his face mask on. Jackson led him inside the hall. “The president is here!” Dr. Lance announced immediately after Nathan stepped in. The members of the millionaires club stood up to welcome Nathan. There
Chapter 106 Dr. Lance stood up. “Well, I don’t think all this is necessary. As far as I’m concerned, we are here to talk about our projects for the year, not the Alcantaras.”Maxwell turned to him. “We are not diverting from the main agenda Dr. Lance. We need to set things straight and follow the rules and as the president,” he then turned to Nathan. “You are expected to play by the rules.”“Exactly!” Kelvin said without taking his eyes off Nathan. He was occupying one of the tables in front. Dr. Lance sighed. “Listen, guys, the Alcantaras have a custom of protecting their identity which we are all aware of. This has been the custom and throughout Alex’s father’s tenure as president of the billionaires club, he never revealed his identity. Why then will his son be forced to do so?”“May I, please!” Greg lifted his hand, seeking an audience. Greg concluded that since the Alcantara heir treated him like trash at the millionaire’s party, he might as well endorse Kelvin’s motion. “You
Jackson led Nathan to the spot Larry parked the vehicle. Some of the members of the millionaires club who had just left the hall stopped to watch Nathan step into the car.They might be rich but the Alcantara heir is proving to control more wealth than they could ever imagine. When Kelvin walked out and saw about a dozen of them staring at Nathan with admiration, he fumed and looked away.Nathan and Jackson settled in the car. Larry started the car.Nathan quickly pulled down his mask immediately after Larry hit the road. The car had dark reflectors.“I must commend you for handling the situation back there,” Jackson remarked. He was sitting right next to Nathan.Nathan gave a half smile.“I was beginning to panic when a majority of them were endorsing Kelvin’s motion but then I remembered you told me that you knew their weaknesses,” Jackson added.“And I used it against them,” Nathan replied.Jackson nodded. “500 million dollars was all that was needed to shut them up.”They broke in
Nathan traced his way out of the mansion after speaking with the guards assigned to the estate. He had asked them to shut the wing assigned to him. He made his way to the quarters assigned to Jackson and landed a knock on the door.Jackson stepped out and saw Nathan standing by the door. “Come in boss.”Nathan walked into Jackson’s self-con. The space had been assigned to Jackson the moment he arrived at the Alcantara estate.“Sit boss!”Nathan shook his head. “Don’t worry about that Jackson. I won’t be staying for long. I just came to inform you that I’ll be leaving.Jackson displayed a blank expression, his ferocious eyes spinning in confusion. “Leaving?”Nathan smiled. “Now that the millionaire’s party is over, It’s time I head back to my rented apartment.”“Wow!” Jackson exclaimed. “So you are leaving the estate?”“Yes, Jackson. People know me as Nathan and I’ve got to maintain that reputation. Also, I need to be in school by tomorrow morning .” Nathan replied.“Well, I can come w
Nathan and Avery strode to the cafeteria. Charles and Henry were already settled at the first booth when they arrived.When the boys saw Avery, they gave warm smiles.“Perfect. It’s good that you are here Avery. It’s always a table for two or four after all.” Henry said.Avery sat right next to Nathan. “Why didn’t you guys tell me Nathan’s dad was ill?”Charles and Henry exchanged blank glances and when they turned to Nathan, he blinked at them.Avery dropped her book on the table. “I was mad at him for not showing up at the millionaire’s party you know. I just learned that he had to take care of his sick dad that night.”She sighed and threw her back against the chair.Nathan cleared his throat and propelled one of the menu cards to her. “Forget about it. Let’s have lunch.”They took the menu cards and had barely gone through them when murmurs broke out in the cafeteria.Students were pointing at the entrance and when Avery and the boys turned to stare at the door, they saw Kelvin ta
Chapter 110“I’ve been thinking. How about we hang out tonight to celebrate Nathan.” Henry said and signaled to one of the waitresses behind the counter to come to their table.Nathan smiled.“Yes, buddy.” Charles agreed. “We need to celebrate your latest win.”They all were acquainted with Nathan’s latest win and were careful not to discuss it in public.“How about a private bar tonight,” Henry suggested.“Fine with me,” Nathan replied.“Good. I’ll pick the location so get ready. We’ll come and pick you up by 7 pm sharp.” Henry said.“Noted!” Nathan replied and sat up. “Let’s place our orders. I’m starving.”***Nathan slipped his wallet inside his pants pocket and was about to grab his keys when a loud horn came.“Just in time!” He mumbled and swept the house key from the glass table.It was three minutes past 7 pm.Nathan dashed out and locked the door. Henry had arrived with Charles to pick him up with his Audi Q3. Nathan placed the key underneath his doormat and went to meet his
