The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 24
"Lord Shawn, we just received news that the company's shares are also falling. Shareholders are backing out and the board of directors are seriously on the edge with complaints." Cole was quick to tell Lord Shawn upon their arrival at the company after receiving a quick call."Likewise, all the companies we sent a proposal to for partnership, rejected us.""What about Carlos Conglomerate? Don't tell me they did reject us too?"Cole didn't know how best to break bad news to the old man, all he had in his file that morning were bad reports, and he feared for the old man developing high blood pressure, but then he had to say it.All along, he had always advised that Lord Shawn hands over the COO position to one of his kids, but Lord Shawn had always stood his ground, insisting that none of them were wise enough to handle the responsibilities of the family company."Cole, tell me something. Don't you dare give me bad news as regards the Carlos contract. Remember we pursued this immensely,

"Boss, the doctor said he should be awake any moment from now. He's healing real quick." Alaric declared walking towards Edwin who was resting on the balcony alongside Tony and Xander.Edwin lifted himself above the seat immediately, and the others did the same. Draco had been unconscious for a week, and the four of them had been taking turns watching over him.The one on duty only got to take a rest whenever the doctor came around.Draco had said to heal in body, but his mind wasn't just coming alive.Edwin and his men were pretty worried as to why he wasn't gaining consciousness and the doctor had reported that the incident caused him very very severe brain injuries that would make him unconscious for more than 48 hours, which finally turned into a week.The doctor had also added that there was a high possibility of post-traumatic amnesia even after he regained consciousness. This has caused all of them to get weary on their mission. Everything is on hold.However, Alaric's report

Upon their entry, Perry's jaw hung low in surprise and then he uncontrollably stuttered. "Mr. Volvox, Alaric, you are here. I thought you both ain't going to m…make it." Edwin and Alaric locked their gaze together in surprise, but Perry was quick to change his words. "Hmmm… Boss, I actually mean, I thought you both won't be coming anymore because it's some minutes past the expected time."Edwin and Alaric found their way to their respective seats before they said any more."Well, we are here now. A little delay, yes, but here we are." Edwin voiced but he was beginning to have doubts about Perry.Perry looked a little unsettled as both of them looked in his direction. "So can we cut to the chase, Perry?! I mean what exactly are we here for? You mentioned a deal, so let's make it faster." Alaric was the one who spoke this time."Oh, yes the deal." He inhaled sharply before he continued. "A company reached out to us, Mr Volvox, they want to partner with us on our new project. And going

"What do you want to ask me?" Draco struggled to sit up inquisitively. Thereafter, Edwin leaned forward to ask."K5 who are they? What are they? And where exactly do they exist?" Draco gulped, he really didn't see that coming.Everyone he knew would never want to get involved with the K5 but right before him, a young lark was asking to be in."I bet you won't want to know about them. They are deadly, and …" Edwin cupped Draco's chin, locked gaze with him. Within that few seconds, Draco felt as though life would be out of him. "Draco… Tell me where the K5 exist?" A firm order proceeded from Edwin's mouth.Draco was forced to cut the gaze with a gasp, he briefly wondered how Edwin managed to have that gripping effect on him, but then it did work. "K5 isn't known to anyone. No one knows what they look like. No one in the gang is close to them, except Klaus.""Klaus?!" Almost everyone in the room exclaimed, the first time, they were getting another name from the crime world."Who exactly

25th of May…Asides carrying out dirty jobs for politicians, another work carried out by the K5 was trafficking drugs for drug kingpins.Klaus's mission was to deliver a package to a client for a drug kingpin.He single handedly decided to handle the mission with Marcus because he feared his men wouldn't do it well. Moreover, he had private gains to get from it.The deal was fixed to the 25th, everyone in the gang knew about the mission and area but not the exact location.The package was set to be delivered at 9 pm, not later than then to avoid the corps.As usual, Klaus sat behind the sleek black SUV while Marcus took the lead to drive."Marcus, can you accelerate more, Mr Douglas shouldn't be the one to hasten us," he said while smoking his pipe. "Yes boss," he fired on. This wasn't the first time they were delivering to Mr Douglas, and the fact that Mr Douglas was actually a no nonsense person. He sticks to 9 as 9.Anything different from the expected time, he leaves the venue.

"You mean it? Like joining your gang?" Edwin's face lightened up in excitement in correlation to what was just said."Yes, join my gang, that's the only way you can take revenge on your enemies. You want to go against the corps right? Then you must be one of the bad guys? You must take no for an answer, to be at your best strength, show them the worst." Klaus was spilling with gripping action."You mean I should join the bad guys? Then I will have my revenge?""Yes, you will. I and my gang will go to any length just to help you. As long as you swear your loyalty to us, and you promise that you would stay glued to anything, I mean anything we say." Klaus stated.Edwin had some sort of excitement gleaming in his eyes. "I will, as long as you teach me how to use guns, fight well, and use weapons as necessary." He had the eagerness of wanting to know more and it amazed Klaus."As I said earlier on, as long as you are willing to know more, I'll definitely be of help." he paused before he s

Edwin had to pause his food immediately and then stare at them. "Alaric, Tony, Xander, Draco?! What's the problem you are speaking of?""Boss, it's Perry. We don't know how best to say this, but we do feel like he has something up his sleeves. I tracked him just like you said and then I realised that he has been talking to a particular number over and over again. And…""And!" Edwin repeated."He will be meeting with the owner of that same number tonight. But no worries boss, because I did track his number. So we can tail him wherever.""Jeez… Why didn't you guys say anything?" Edwin arched a brow in confusion."We were just celebrating one victory, boss. Bringing this immediately in, could have been quite uncomfortable, so we decided to at least wait till dinner is over." Tony reported. "But Alaric said no.. He convinced me.""Well Alaric is right, Tony. As long as we are still in this mission, there is really no rest until we hit our goals.""My apologies, boss.""No need. Now, let's

"Boss, he moved already, what do we do?" Xander asked immediately."We do nothing, just follow him. Let's see where he's heading to." "Alright biss." Xander also stepped on the gas and fired on. Tailing right behind Perry keeping a far distance so as not to be noticed.Navigating corners, accelerating speeds, just as Perry did. Just then Perry drove into an unexpected place."All along, they expected that he was going somewhere incriminating, but then he drove and stopped right in front of a bar instead.'The Lort' One of the specialty bars in Eastcliff."Boss, should we go to spy on him? He doesn't recognise us. He might have come to meet somebody, also he could be the image behind the symbol X."Edwin had thought he was the only one who saw things that way, but now that his men were saying it, he did believe that it was possible that Perry might actually be the villain."Boss, we need to act fast." The duo persuaded again and immediately he agreed. "Fine, you guys should go and ma

Edwin was immediately agitated by the knock on the door. He had called his guys to stay away from home, if they had, then who was at the door?All this he thought to himself in a daze."You have somebody at the door, man, go check." one of them teased him. He balled his fist in anger, strolling towards the door. The first thing he did was peep through the hole."Damn! Is she dumb!" he mumbled to himself, balling his fist, then opening up, he raised his voice to say. "What are you doing he…"Before he could finish, she raised a bag to him. "What else would I be doing here, if not for the fact that Mum asked me to come over with this plate of soup." Helen didn't allow him to finish his statement before she strode past him into the house."Hele…" her name hung in his mouth immediately while he watched her walk in.Upon getting into the living room, she froze to her feet when she sighted Brandon and his men, her legs turned jelly-like as well while she wondered what was happening.Howeve

At first, Edwin paused when he heard the masculine voice call him, he was expecting a feminine voice and that of Helen to be precise, but here he was meeting another thing entirely."Kendel!" Edwin was first of all struck to the spot. No other person called him by that name except for the Meritual gang, only they addressed him by that name."Are my ears playing tricks on me, or is this reality?" he asked himself, with a creased brow for a minute. Thereafter, fastened his step towards the door.He would never make the mistake of opening the door without the loophole anymore. Helen's case had taught him a lesson.Once bitten, twice shy.He checked the loophole and there, he met the shock of his life. It was Brandon.This time, it wasn't just Brandon, but Brandon was with other members of the gang.He at first headed from peeking through the hole, brushed through his face with his palm to be sure he wasn't dreaming and then he checked but it was still the same thing."What could they be

"Alaric is something up with you?" Alaric didn’t expect Draco or anyone to come around then, so he was startled.Giggling, he forced himself to say. "It's pretty nothing, I just came here to have a drink!" he sipped from the cup again."A drink, for over three hours?""Three hours! How is that even p.." he hurriedly checked his wristwatch only to realise that Draco was indeed right.He had spent over three hours drinking and soliloquising."Is it a girl issue?" Draco took a seat to level with him. "Hmmm… could it be a girl problem?" Draco hurriedly leaned closer. "I thought your woman was back. So why brood further?" Draco was inquisitive.Staring blankly, Alaric said to him. "Maybe I want more than that. Maybe I want more than what I'm getting." he sipped another round from his cup, but then this time, Draco collected it back from him."Hey, enough of it, Alaric! Time to stop drinking." Draco repeated, taking the wine far away.Alaric sighed and leaned against the cellar table before

"Yes boss, I think we should carry them along. They deserve to know everything that's happening so they can know where to come in." Alaric advised and just immediately, Edwin dailed Mr Yen's number."Mr Yen!" "Edwin, is there a problem?" He asked immediately, even though he could at first be heard analysing some aspect of the case with Ariana which showed their dedication to the case."There is a problem, Mr Yen. And for now, I don't think there is a solution to it yet." Mr Yen was immediately agitated. "Please fill me in." be requested."The guilty in this case. Kimberly has put the life if the judge on a stake and now, Klaus the most dangerous underground warlord had declared that I look into her case. He wants dirt on her. In one word, Kimberly wants her license revoked.""This is totally against the law." Mr Yen was instantly confused about what to do. "I'm confused, Edwin. If this judge doesn't declare judgment and he is successfully able to revoke her licence to practice law,

“Let’s elope together at least you would be free from the grasp of your old man. He would seize to have a hold over you. We can have the world to ourselves. Ciara shot him a surprised gaze and then she chuckled. Unlike her old man husband, a lot of things excited her about Draco, and she was ready to elope with him if that's what it would cost her to have a good life. At least, Draco was rich, handsome, intelligent and overall, good in bed.Then what else would she want in a man? All these she thought to herself immediately.“That's a great idea,” she leaned closer to him. “Now, tell me is this a proposal? Are you giving me a proposal?”He smiled in return. “Well, it could be whatever you call it, but honestly I want you by my side every single day and I want to grow old having access to this beautiful body and the owner of the beautiful body.” Draco responded leaning closer as well and intoxicating her with his deep masculine voice that tingled like that of an angelic tone in her e

"What problem do we have here again?" Edwin sounded frustrated."Nothing, really, boss. I'm just so concerned about the reputation of the judge. It wouldn’t be fair to see the innocent woman suffer for what she never did. That is the real law and judgement.""You are right Tony. I understand that." Edwin sighed deeply before he then continued. "You know what, let's have this discussion tonight with everyone during facetime meeting.""Alright boss. Good idea.""You would need to excuse me now Tony, I need to settle Klaus.""We will be waiting for you by nightfall, boss." The call ended immediately.***** On the other hand, Xander had being the one staying with Linda. Since the moment they had repaired their relationship, its being difficult to let her out of his sight.Nervously resting against his lap while she awaited the court results."Still nervous, yeah?"

"What if she doesn't have any dirt, what if she's clean?" Edwin asked Klaus he sought ways to discourage Klaus. Even though he knew it might not work, he still wanted to try."There is no harm in trying, is there? Moreover I don't intend to stain my relationship with the K5, it would go a long way to affect me…no one goes against them and remains alive. They are rulers, an unshakable power of the society." Klaus responded affirming his point of view."And if there is none, if no dirt is found, make sure to create one. It's her against us and we must win this time around." Klaus was clear enough after which he ended the call.Edwin gulped hard with the thought of how best he was going to get that done. This same lady is the only way to their salvation as well. Moreover, how would he destry her career just for the sake of some country crazy men.He shook the thought off, and then began to think of how he could accomplish his new mission. On a quick thought, the best person to do the jo

Fuming in anger, he couldn't contain it anymore, his ego had been hurt and he felt he could burn down the whole city."Mr Van, if we would be working in cooperation together I think it's best that you follow my ins…""I don't take instructions from anyone. I’ve been in the business world since you were born and I've been facing cases on cases, so if you don't know how best to defend me then I think you either shut up or get relieved from your duties.,"Despite the fact that Brawly was trying to ignite a discussion so he could help, Kimberly's ego wouldn't allow a space for such.He wanted to control everyone at his fingertips and would want everyone to worship him as well.After considering and figuring out Kimberly's behaviour, Brawly decided to keep his low."Give me the name of that disrespectful judge." Kimberly's voice thundered."What judge Mr Van?" Brawly had already turned confused so he decided to ask so he could clarify."Are you dumb? What judge did we both meet with today?

CHAPTER 105
Not until Ciara felt his arm tug at her waist, did she realise that there was trouble.She shuddered when his hands touched her, and her brows constricted from irritation.Why is he touching me? She told herself and at the same time was just about making an attempt to turn his hands off when she remembered he accused her of cheating.If she pulled herself out of his embrace, he was going to suspect her more.Deep down, she irritably said to herself. "Calm down Ciara. Accommodate him, it's all for a short time." she told herself.The following day, the court was buzzing with whispers from various people. Even Kimberly had wondered where the faces had come from.He wouldn't have told anyone except his immediate family members that he was going to undergo a trial. Looking around and seeing different faces whispering he was still confused as to where they had come from.Nevertheless, it was time he focused on the case at hand, he had to win it.One other thing was missing, the fact that h
