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
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
