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
Chapter 111“We are very sorry sir!” The gang leader fell to his face and his colleagues followed.Nathan, who didn’t want to create a scene asked them to get up immediately.“You may all leave!”He then motioned at Don to take over.Don moved closer to the men. “Get your fucking faces out of here.”They stood up and mumbled several apologies before they fled.Don turned to Nathan with disappointment spread across his face. “I’m very sorry boss.”“Keep your men in order,” Nathan advised and turned around.Don gave an approving nod and left.Charles walked up to Nathan with astonishing eyes. He had witnessed the way the entire gang fell at Nathan’s feet like he was a god. “There are levels to these things and you’ve got them, bro.” He remarked.Nathan chuckled. “Let’s finish our drinks and get the hell out of here.”The boys returned to their table. Henry and Charles spent the rest of the night throwing questions at Nathan after witnessing his little display of power over the men.At
Nathan and his friends stepped out of the house to meet Larry who was waiting for them outside. He was with the Rolls Royce.Charles was holding a bag containing some gym supplies. Nathan had told them a lot about Ben’s gym and how versatile Ben was at training so they decided to hit the place that evening.They stepped into the vehicle and Larry drove away.After driving for about five minutes, Larry pulled the car to a halt. The gym was down the street, just a few miles away from Nathan’s home.They stepped out while Larry remained in the vehicle.Nathan was the last to step out of the vehicle and when he looked at the spot Ben’s gym once stood, he was shocked at the spectacle before him.It was the same building but Nathan noticed that the gym was repainted and the name tag was changed. There used to be a bold inscription at the signpost with the caption BEN’S GYM. Now, the name was replaced with WILLIES.“Is that the gym?” Charles pointed at the signpost.Nathan couldn’t give a re
Nathan slammed the car door and charged toward Ben who was about to drop another luggage bag inside the van. Ben turned around and saw Nathan walking toward him. Nathan reached his spot and folded his arms across his chest. Ben sighed and concluded that the boy must have learned about his fate. He rubbed his palms against each other and rested his back against the car. “Hey!”“Good evening Ben,” Nathan replied and darted his gaze to the van. “You are leaving?”Ben sighed. The thought of leaving Rockville City was driving him insane but that was the only option he had. He exhaled and looked at Nathan. “I’m sorry that you guys can no longer make use of the gym. Listen, Nathan, this hurts me more than anything but…” he shook his head. “I don’t even know where to begin from.”“How about we start with the men who threw you out of your gym?”Ben arched a brow. Nathan lowered his hands to his hips. “Curtis told me everything.” “Those men are bad guys Nathan. Right now, I need to do wha
Nathan stepped out of the lecture theatre amidst the crowd of students. He saw Charlotte by the door going through her phone and he quickly turned away.He sighed in relief. Thank Goodness she didn’t see him else she was going to throw questions at him, taking him back to her rescue mission at the Millonares party. Nathan was also not in the mood for any drama with Greg so it’s best away from Charlotte.Charles and Henry had gone to attend a lecture for their elective course but as for Nathan, it meant free time. He quickly left the hall premises so Charlotte wouldn’t spot him. After getting away from the spot, Nathan decided to stride down to the pavilion for some time out before his friends show up.On his way to the pavilion, Nathan noticed Avery and Kelvin engaged in a heated argument. They were standing under the lemon tree opposite the pavilion. He decided to go closer to them to have an insight into the conversation.Avery’s hands were up. Kelvin was facing her and she was addr
The Vice chancellor took the lead while Avery followed. When she decided to report Kelvin to the VC, she thought he was going to assign the dean or one of the school disciplinary committee members to handle the situation. Now, he was on his way to the school clinic, thus violating her expectation. They got to the school clinic just when Nathan was getting discharged. His bruise was treated. The bleeding was stopped and it wasn't severe so the nurse felt there was no point placing a bandage on it. She had treated the injury and was handing over an analgesic to Nathan when the VC stormed in. "Damn!" Nurse Stacy muttered under her breath at the sight of the Vice chancellor.Nathan turned around and saw the Vice chancellor walking up to him alongside Avery. He sighed knowing that it was all Avery's doing. "Good morning sir!" "Morning, Stacy." The VC replied and motioned to Stacy with his head to excuse them. She nodded in understanding and left. Nathan stood up, trying to mask his a
Nathan walked into his apartment and slumped on the sofa. Thank goodness, the bruise he got from the fall was a mild one. Kelvin had to be a pain in the ass.He shut his eyes and the image of Ben's face fluttered in his mind. It immediately dawned on him that he had made a commitment to himself. He had vowed to get Justice for Ben by helping him to reclaim his property.Nathan quickly went for his phone and placed a call to Mike."Young Master!" Mike responded. They exchanged a few pleasantries. Nathan didn't tell Mike about the incident with Kelvin at school. He concluded that Mike was probably going to over react when he learns about it. "I want to buy a property. A building." Nathan told Mike. There was silence from Mike's end and Nathan couldn't help but imagine the stunned expression on the man's face. Why would he need a new property when there were dozens in his name. "Why do you need a building?" Mike demanded. Nathan sighed and decided to come clean with Mike. "Do you re
