All the members of the Millionaires Club were directed to a VIP lounge of the museum hall. They were all seated and waiting for their new president to walk in.A few minutes later, Nathan stepped in, accompanied by Mr. Wells and Dr. Lance. The lounge was filled with cheers and applause when he stepped in.The members of the millionaires club consist of young men and women from wealthy and influential backgrounds. Tonight, most of the people that turned up for the party were not official members of the club.Nathan was led to a sofa where he settled right next to Dr. Lance and Mr. Wells.Kelvin was irked by the recognition being accorded to Nathan. He curled his lips in irritation and turned away.Avery and the boys were sharing a table in the spacious lounge. There were about twenty persons seated across various tables.Dr. Lance stood up and faced the group. “I know an official declaration was made in the hall but as the chairman of the committee, I’ll officially introduce Alex Alcan
Charles and Henry traced their way to the open parking space where they had parked the Lamborghini. Henry who was keen on driving the car didn’t waste any time mounting the driver’s seat. Charles joined him in the car and he sped away. More people were trouping out of the museum hall. It was a quarter past 10 pm. Nathan made his way to the underground parking lot where they had parked their vehicles. The parking space was illuminated by bright lights. Mike and the others were standing by the vehicles, waiting for Nathan. Some of the escorts left with Mr. and Mrs. Alcantara to Greenville City. “Time to go young master!” Mike presented the gold-colored G wagon to Nathan immediately after he reached their spot. Nathan cleared his throat loudly and moved closer to Mike. “Any update on Charlotte?”Mike gave a half smile. “The girl is safe. I asked Joe to take her home.”Nathan sighed in relief and pulled down his nose mask to his jaw. “I was worried sick about her.”One of the guards
“I have a suggestion!” Don Fernando spat.Fredrick Tyson’s fury began to vanish after the statement was pronounced and soon, his face began to glimmer with hope.“What’s your suggestion?”Don Fernando positioned his hands on the table and continued. “Now that the Alcantara heir is President and there’s nothing we can do about it, I suggest we focus on ruining his reputation.”One of the men agreed with repeated nods. “Sounds like a good idea.”“So how do we go about that?” Tyson asked.Don Fernando flashed an impish grin. “The mask.”“The mask?” asked a confused Kelvin.“Well, I suggest that we begin a revolution. Our target will be to tear down the ancient landmark that allows the Alcantara to use nose masks.”Fredrick was smiling already. “Sounds like a perfect idea.”“Listen Fred.” Don Fernando continued. “We can’t be fighting a blind game.” He then turned to Kelvin. “Can you recognize your so-called President if you ever bump into him,”Kelvin swung his head from left to right.Do
Nathan was awakened by the continuous buzzing of his phone. He stretched a lazy hand toward his table and grabbed the phone. His hazy eyes couldn’t see who the caller was.“Hello!” he mumbled.“Good morning Nathan.”Charlotte!Nathan quickly sat up and began rubbing his drowsy eyes with the edge of his palms.“Sorry. I woke you up.”“No that’s okay,” Nathan replied and pressed the phone to his left ear.Several thoughts began to flutter in his mind. Yes, Charlotte had seen him rescue her with his team at the parking lot but did she see something she wasn’t supposed to? What if she has doubts about his identity? He wondered.“How are you doing?” Nathan managed to ask and then cleared his throat loudly.“Well, I’m doing okay Nathan and it’s all thanks to you.”“I’m glad you are okay,” Nathan replied and concluded that she probably called to thank him not because she was suspicious as he thought.“Thank you for showing up last night Nathan. I was scared to death and I can’t imagine what
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
