The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 154
I ducked behind my arm still putting on my act. That seemed to be the only thing that could save me and also get me the information I was searching for. This was something that could never be downplayed no matter how much one wanted to put it. I felt like there was a need for correctional measures that didn't involve fist fighting or having a face-to-face conversation. This dealt more with having conversations that could lead to total imprisonment. I was one of those people who was also a firm believer that criminals shouldn't go scot-free. "Bring out the boy that ran into this place. I don't want to have a fight with you especially how far we have to come." He announced. The Madame refused to back down which I give her kudos for. I would have been surprised if someone who runs such a large place like this would easily bow down just because a selfish brat decided to bring up his ideas that had no efficiency whatsoever. "Get someone else on your shit, then we can have a conversati

The sound of guns cocking in the distance had me smiling because this was everything and more that I was looking out for. I needed more conversations to give me a grand scope of what was happening.If there was a way for us to do anything better, then it had to be right away and not when they had the chance to change things. Roslyn didn't look like she feared anyone. It was almost as though she was anticipating the best time to strike instead because she walked up to him and stared him right in the face. “Do your worst, Fred. A lot of people do not know what you have done and that's why you think you are safe. I dare you to do your worst.” She said menacinglyNever had I seen Mr. Coker was terrified of anyone in my entire life and this was pleasant to watch. I loved how he moved away as soon as he realized that he was going to be outed. Bullies needed someone who could give them a dose of their own medicine.My phone was busy recor

I sat in front of a round table surrounded by various types of guns, making me a bit scared, but at the same time, I maintained my look. I wasn't supposed to care about whatever was going on between her and my enemy so to speak. Roslyn smiled and walked towards me with a small smile on her face, and I couldn't help but get annoyed at the way things were working. I had so many things on my mind and adding this to the mix was only going to stress me more than it should. The only thing I wanted to do right away was to rest for a bit, "now that you have decided to be a part of Us what is going to be our gain?" She asked me. I looked at her a bit flustered at her assumptions. Did she really think that I was going to get engaged in any conversation about Mr coker just yet without assessing the situation? Of course not. "Right, I don't understand where this is coming from but I think this is something that we can wo

I strolled into the station the next morning with every intention to get Justice. Mr. Coker wasn't going to go Scott free anymore especially now that I had roselyn backing me up. We had arrived at a conclusion where we realized that the best way to handle this situation was to pretend like we hadn't spoken and struck a deal with the devil"You have no right to detain me here." I heard his voice loud and clear as I approached. "The law is that I'm supposed to inform my lawyer but you have seized everything that I have expecting me to magically confess to something that I am not guilty of. How laughable!" He continued yelling.He was going to bring down the walls with his voice. Something was common between him and his son and it was the fact that they refused to admit that they had been defeated."I advise that you do not disturb the peace of the environment sir."He laughed at them angrily. "And you expect me to just pick you

"What was his response?" Roslyn and Jerome asked as soon as I returned from the cell. They were giddy and wanted to know what exactly went down between both of us but I was not going to give them that part of the gist. "Oh my goodness, who would have thought that you would suddenly want to hear what that man had to say after everything you said about him?" I challenged Jerome, taking time to think of a quick response that would not be used against me anytime soon. Jerome rolled his eyes probably thinking that I was just exaggerating but I wanted to prove what he had in mind, "We all know that you are just a beginner in getting answers from a criminal. If he said anything to you I need to confirm it because that man is a freaking liar." He defended himself, looking at Roslyn in confirmation. She nodded, returning to loading her gun. "I believe that you were able to get a favorable answer and that is exactly what I would have loved to hear.
The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 159
Jerome looked like he could smack me across the face but was holding himself back so that he didn't look like he was guilty. His mannerisms were his telltale signs. He should have gotten to know that, dealing with me, he needed to be on utmost guard, but he had made the mistake of thinking that it would be easy for him to get off. All of them were not to be trusted except for Roslyn who just wanted money to finance her group. I didn't know to what extent she was willing to go just to get things done, but it wasn't my business anyway. I waited for a bit before deciding to speak up. "Cat got your tongue?" I asked him, hoping that he was going to defend himself but he said nothing. "At this point, I think it is pointless for me to start saying that I had the best intentions for you." He said I didn't think that it was far-fetched to have people who wanted to help you turn against you when they had the opportunity. It was just a normal character of humans and I couldn't hold it again

Sauntering into the prison area with two bodyguards behind me was not an easy feat. Some of the wardens looked at me weirdly, probably thinking how this young boy was able to achieve all of this without paying a dime.That was the power of influence and I wasn't about to reveal that part of me to people. Speaking to a few honorable people had finally paid off and now I was ready to milk it for what it was worth.My next move was to ensure that no one knew my movements not even the people I claimed to be in partnership with. I have come to realize that everyone is for themselves. I made a mental note to reach out to Josh later that day to ask how my grandmother was faring. It was going to be a huge task for me to deal with but I knew that I could work it out."Please, come in, Mst. Jordan." One of the wardens said, making me smile softly. I enjoyed the fact that things were working especially the way I had envisioned it to go. My la
The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 161
Based on the true evidence that had been presented before me, I still found it pretty hard to come to terms with the fact that everything has been a lie especially the friendship that I thought I had managed to build over the years with Josh. The issue was believing that someone whom I had come to trust would betray me in such a manner but I guess that does one of the issues that came with life. There was no friend nor enemy. It was all about the game. My next question... What were the odds that even Gibson was not telling me lies? Blame that on my trust issues but I was being as wise as I could. If Josh whom I thought I had known for such a long time to betray me this way then there was practically no hope for anyone. David end up doing whatever it is that they wanted just for some money and I needed to come to terms with that. My eyes remained on him watching to see what exac

The cameras flash. Always flashing. Like a strobe light hell. 'Click. Click. Click'. I straighten my tie. Cheap polyester. Scratchy. 'Good'. Reminds me I’m not one of them. The podium’s edge digs into my palms. Cold steel. Biting. The crowd’s a blur. Suits. Lipstick. Teeth. Hungry for blood. “Ladies. Gentlemen.” I let the mic screech. Feedback whines. They flinch. 'Perfect'. “Tonight, we carve out the 'rot'.” A paperweight sits on the podium. Glass. Useless. I hurl it sideways. It explodes against the wall. 'Crash'. The crowd jumps. A reporter spills his coffee. Dark liquid bleeds across the road. 'Symbolic'. I don’t laugh. “Coker,” I say slowly. Let the syllables rot in the air. “Saint of the City? 'Bullshit'.” The screen behind me flickers. Grainy footage. Coker’s docks. Midnight. Shadows slithering. Crates cracked open. White powder glowing. Ghostly. “Drugs.” I click the remote. Next slide: Judge Eleanor Pryce. Diamond earrings. Smug grin. Pocketing an envelope thick as a b

Jordan’s POVFirst, a ding, followed by a mild vibration.A smirk played on my lips as I dipped my hand excitedly into my pocket and brought out my phone. I had been expecting this message and it came at the perfect time.My eyes scanned the notification on the phone after which I unlocked it to view it better.It was from FriendsMe, a secret platform I and Josh created when we were just kids, whispering about taking over the world in hushed tones.Back then, FriendsMe had been a platform where we could dream big and fantasize about anything. It was our safe haven where we could plot our future and plot ideas without anyone watching us.But things had changed— I had changed.“I know it is you. Behind all of this. The accidents. The disappearances. The chaos. It’s you, isn’t it?” Josh asked.I let out a chuckle as I read the message again. Josh had always been smart but he wasn’t smart enough.I left the message on read and wanted to lock it when another message came in.“Listen man, I

Jordan's POVThe scent of fresh paint and polished wood filled the air as I stepped into the Langston Consortium’s main building. Truly it was fascinating how far we have come and I was so proud of myself.Months of silence had been replaced with ringing phones, busy days and nights, we had so many clients that we had to open a waiting list and that still got filled up.I walked through the hall, hands tucked into my pockets, watching the company my grandfather built come alive once more. It was mine now and I hoped he was proud of the slight changes I made.His death didn't go unpunished and I wouldn't let anything happen to this company no matter the cost.Near the entrance, an older man in a faded suit approached, his steps hesitant. His gaze held quiet hope. “Mr. Jordan, I’ve been with this company for thirty years. My loyalty has never wavered. I—”I lifted a hand, cutting him off gently. “The past stays in the past. It’s time for something new.” I uttered in a finite toneHis th

Jordan's POVThe courtroom was filled with tension. No one said a word but you could feel it in the air as we waited for the video to play.Mr. Coker sat stiffly at the defendant’s table, fingers locked together as though he wanted to strangle me.His lawyer whispered something, but he didn’t react. His jaw worked as if grinding gravel, his eyes shifting to the large screen where the next piece of evidence played.It was a briefcase exchanged proving Coker had bribed the inspector. The official took it with a quick glance over his shoulder, counted the cash, then nodded. Mr. Coker’s voice came through as he gave clear instructions. “This needs to be handled. No complications.”Gasps rippled through the courtroom.I leaned forward, hands gripping the armrest of my chair. My throat felt dry. Across from me, Mr. Coker’s wife pressed a hand to her mouth, face drained of color.The prosecutor stepped forward. His eyes flicked to the judge, then back to the screen. “For the record, this foo

The weight of my words had barely settled before the world caught fire.We couldn't even continue the interview because of how fast the clips circulated on news channels, social media posts multiplying like cells under a microscope. The video surged past fifty million views in hours, tearing through every platform like a storm with no intention of slowing down. "Jordan Langston exposes billionaire Coker in a shocking interview!""Explosive truth: Young heir accuses Coker of murder!""What really happened to Mr. Langston? The answer stuns the world!"Comments, opinions, speculations poured in. Some hailed me as brave, a warrior dragging hidden rot into the light. Others called me reckless, a kid playing with fire, a target painting himself in the brightest red.I sat in the dim glow of my phone screen, scrolling, skimming, watching my own words loop over and over. The sound of hurried footsteps pulled me from the trance. The door swung open. My mother stood there, her breath uneven,

I straightened in my chair wiping off invisible dirt off my suit, I was to look perfect today.We were at the TV station, bright lights beamed overhead, hot against my skin but I didn't break a sweat, we were surrounded by cameras and the interview team.Beside me, my lawyer adjusted his cuffs, his movements smooth, practiced, deliberate. He smelled like expensive cologne and fresh paper, like someone who knew his way around battles fought with words instead of fists.“You good Jordan” he muttered not out of care but hoped I wouldn't make the wrong move.“Never better” I reassured, giving a smile that would be stuck on my face for most of the interview.Soon the interviewer took her seat, a woman with clipped curls and eyes that held the hunger of someone searching for a story, she leaned forward. Her lips, painted the color of ripe cherries, parted as she spoke.“Nice to have you here today” she began giving a big smile for the camera before she returned to us."Mr Jordan, given the

I trust Silvia to do just as I've told her to. All I was expecting at the moment was just results, results of the strings I was going to pull, something he'd never recover from. At some point, I felt selfish. I was literally putting Silvia's life on the line because I know he'd surely come for her after everything's going to be leaked. I should have tried another alternative. It just occurred to me. I gnashed my teeth in regret. I've been running for my own life and now I'd have to protect two souls at the same time, I grabbed my phone, “Silvia…yeah I know…as soon as you're done, grab a few stuffs and come over…I have spaces here…I know, but believe me when I say this, Coker will come for your head and he won't take chances, that's why I said you should come” I hung up the call almost immediately. I've said what needed to be said. Preparations for the primaries to determine who the flag bearer for the parties was almost underway. I'm sure Coker will be all smiles, with the mindset
Chapter 184
Life has been good for the first time in a while. At least, I'm getting to lay hands on the man that's taken so much from me. “All you investors should stay clear and be watchful. There's a scammer creating illusions everywhere and scamming big businesses of their money. I had a similar experience just last night…”I've had enough. Mr Coker has been up and about, going to tv stations and a couple of newspaper publications has been made already, trying to find the person that's broken through the firewalls of the company's site. Mr Coker will definitely not allow this slide like that and I'm well aware of how desperate he is. “He's just saying, he won't be able to fish you out” my mom said, trying to make me feel at ease. “I know right but we both know how desperate this son of the devil is. He definitely won't go down without a fight. Let's see what becomes of him” With an understanding that the money that was siphoned from him was public funds, it'd be more than easy to have him
