The Invincible Billionaire

The Invincible Billionaire. Chapter 8.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

It was almost like a prophecy was being fulfilled. Just as William had declared, hell instantly broke loose for Mr Anderson when William left his office.

It only took two minutes for his phone to start blowing up with calls and notifications so much that it seemed like the phone could barely handle the messages coming per second.

Mr. Anderson didn’t want to believe but the notifications he was seeing were showing him his reality.

[“Hey what’s going on? We have just been informed that the Anderson inc. ceases to exist!” ]

[ “This has to be a joke! How can your company be liquidated like that! I invested my money in your company because…]

[“Mr Anderson…”]

[“What is…” ]

Countless of notification announcing his nightmare showed on the screen of his phone. Mr. Anderson could only stare blankly at his phone while he was still on his knees.

“Sir…” Linda tried to inform her boss but judging from his actions she decided there was no need.

Lady Michelson could only see what had become of the empire she was desperately trying to merge with lately and who would believe that the immediate fall of this empire would be because of William.

Who would believe that because William said a few words the Anderson inc. fell? It was still unbelievable but she couldn’t deny the fact and It caused her to fear for what William would do to her.

Michelson family wealth might not be under the Morgan family but how can she say she can compete with someone who was not on her level?

Lady Michelson was feeling a lot of things with the emotions of confusion and fear at its peak.

However, the fact was she felt so small.

“Oh wow! You really are harsh!” Charles said with a chuckle as he walked right by William side.

They both had just stepped out of Anderson’s building and William was feeling like he was at the top of the world.

The minute he left the office he had messaged Mr Clark to do the needful and Mr Clark really did pull it off! The entire building was already in chaos because all the employees were finding out about the news of their jobs been lost. With no company existing anymore there was no jobs so it was enough for them to feel confused about the sudden fate of the establishment that sustained them.

“No, I wasn’t harsh. I only returned back a favor and I returned it lightly.” William replied Charles.

“Lightly?” Charles looked at William not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “You just took away the guy’s entire fortune. That’s not light don’t you think?”

“Well at least he still lives. He tried to kill me so If I was really harsh he would lose his life too.”

Charles let out a chuckle. “Fair point. Besides…what about the employees. They will all lose their jobs because of this. Some people in there were innocent.”

Charles was right. Not all the employees in there were like the receptionist that welcomed him and they didn’t deserve this but there was nothing he could do about it. He can’t please everyone.

“In a war there are always going to be casualties.” William replied calmly but his voice gave off the fact that he was not happy with the answer he gave.

However, Charles was satisfied. The reason was because William was smart to understand that there are some things one can’t just avoid no matter how hard they try to and that was not just it. Charles could also tell that William felt sad for the employees who were affected by his decisions. Not everyone would feel like that so he didn’t bother to continue with the matter.

However,

“Don’t you think leaving Mr. Anderson alive is a mistake?”

“No, I don’t think so.” William said. “He tried to kill me yes but his punishment of losing his fortune is what I gave him. If he dares to come after me again he will definitely die for sure.”

Charles looked at William and was almost about to say something but he decided not to.

‘He will learn soon.’

“Okay how about we go get something to eat?!” Charles yawned changing the topic.

“Wow do ghost still eat?”

“Yes we do!”

William walked as he talked to Charles. He wore a small microphone on his ears to not make it seem like he was talking to nothing. Since no one else could see Charles but him it was better for them to assume he was talking to someone on the phone instead of them assuming he was crazy.

Meanwhile as William walked away in the streets of Hilton city he was been watched and followed by a man in the distance.

Jason was seated in luxurious comfortable room as he sipped a tequila.

Normally when he drinks he’s in a good mood but today he was not.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

He picked up his phone and placed it on his ears. “Is there any update yet?”

[“Yes sir.”]

Hearing that from the other end of the phone his eyes glittered with curiosity. “Tell me…”

***

Just like that the day went by and it was a new dawn.

William woke up with anticipation and freshened up for the day.

And right by his side  was Charles. Charles was always with William 24/7. It was something William was still trying to get used to. However, he knew the ghost had to be by his side at all times due to the fact that he had enemies that wanted his life.

However, William wanted to do his best to not worry about all that because today was supposed to be a good day for him.

“Are you looking forward to getting your daughter back?” Charles voice entered his ears.

“Yes of course.”

“Okay but tell me why do you think Lady Michelson would leave your daughter for you just like that?” Charles asked.

“Well that’s simple. I have watched Lady Michelson tried to make sure the Anderson inc do business with her and have their families join together while I was under her roof.  The fact I was able to bring down such an empire before her eyes yesterday will make her fear of losing hers. I don’t want any trouble. I just want my daughter back so I’m giving her the chance to give me my daughter and go free even after what she and Mr. Anderson did”

Charles chuckled. “Not bad but you are still showing mercy. I want to give you an advice William. When you see a chance to crush an enemy that tried crush you but failed do not show them any mercy.”

“I know. I have my reasons.”

“Okay if you say so.” William said not saying anything more.

Charles didn’t want to persuade William and maybe his reasons for letting Mr Anderson live was important to him but he knew for a fact that soon William would see that it was a mistake he should’ve never made.

Inside the Michelson’s residence.

A luxurious Lamborghini arrived. This was not the first time a car of this luxury was entering the compound but today the servant seems to be attentive to those who were arriving.

The car parked and then a man that looked so handsome that he deserved to be given  a 10 out of a 10 in his looks stepped out. The wind caused his hair to flutter and just that circumstance accentuated his handsomeness.

“It’s really him!”

“He looks different. If not for the rumors going on I won’t have noticed it was him.”

“But I thought he was a nobody!”

“He is!”

“Then how did he become so rich overnight?”

All the servants were all whispering as they did confirm what Lady Michelson had revealed yesterday.

Yesterday, Lady Michelson came back home looking horrified. She was in state which no one has ever seen her in.

She revealed that William had mysteriously turned up as a member of a very big family far powerful than theirs. She also admitted that William was indeed the cause of the Anderson family demise which was now the talk of the whole city.

Neither of them wanted to believe it but seeing was really was believing.

William could feel the gaze of everyone piercing his entire being but decided not to care. He was here for his daughter, however, he could not help but notice a sets of cars parked in the compound with bodyguards wearing uniforms he clearly recognized.

“These are Morgan family’s body guards. What are they doing here?” William muttered.

“Well I can probably guess why they are here.” Charles expression became serious.

William understood what Charles was trying to say and it was the first thing that came to his mind too but he still wanted to confirm it.

William walked towards the door of the house and as if they were expecting him the door was opened by the Michelson family bodyguards.

Getting inside it was then he saw a face he didn’t want to see right now in his business.

“Hello William!”

Jason smiled.

William eyes suddenly glistened with anger. It was not the sight of only Jason that made his blood boil. It was the sight of Amelia sitting on Jason’s lap.
