The Invincible Student Heir Chapter 39
The next day had the whole school buzzing in excitement when they heard that Mr Coker was going to be present and about to share things with them. It wasn't as if everyone in the school was poor but many people had needs that he was determined to reach and solve. His son spearheaded the movement and went about announcing his father's greatness. Mr Coker wanted to capitalize on the streaming capacity of the academy. If his son's video could gather over 50 million views then it wasn't rocket science that peace was probably going to supersede that because of the psychology of curiosity. After that day many people kept on streaming on that channel just so they could get a scoop. This was a perfect time to regain or remedy his reputation. "My father is going to be giving out laptops for free and some free coupons for medical check-ups and a lot more. This is just because I am still present in this school. You can consider me your lucky charm. If anyone has any health challenges, they can

"You must be very stupid for saying that to me! Do you think that I am one of those girls that you can speak ill of and go scot-free? I will deal with you in ways more than you can imagine and nothing will happen because you do not belong to our class in the first place. I do not blame you; I blame Mikky for wanting you and making you feel special. You are nothing in the grand scheme of things, inconsequential even and I want you to get that into your thick skull because it seems like you are having a hard time doing that." Violet said. I walked closer to them. I wasn't going to watch them bully another student simply because she didn't want to be in a relationship with the golden boy of the school. This was the weirdest thing I had ever experienced that someone would be so interested in getting a fellow girl to get into a relationship when they were not even out of high school yet. "I believe you wouldn't want to do that," I said, announcing my presence and watching them cower in f

I went to visit my friend's father, who was starting to recover, and I couldn't be more proud of finally being able to take care of the people who I had always imagined to take care of. It was always a joyful thing to be able to help out when it was necessary. Watching him mingle with his kids made me feel happy, like a proud parent when their children were finally doing right in life. Nothing ever prepared me for that feeling of satisfaction deep in my soul as I kept staring at him. He was one of a kind and I was happy that I knew him. At least somebody like this was not going to ruin my life, he was only going to help out. Josh would never leave me in any problematic situation as long as he could help me, so he deserved this and more, and I was never regretful of my actions. He spotted me and waved me over. "Come on in; this is possible simply because you decided to take a chance on us, and here we are. I would never have been here if someone had decided not to do it for me. Tha

Finally, I was about to take a nap around the hours of 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. It was a way for me to reduce my mental stress so that I wouldn't suffer. I wasn't looking to have money yet couldn't follow the natural rules of life. I just wanted to be able to relax and do the needful.My grandmother walked into my room with a tray in hand and a cup of coffee on it. "Darling son, I know that you must be famished." She said and I kept on smiling at her. She was patient enough not to get angry when I left the house for long hours besides school work and went on my way. Other parents would have probably tried to disturb or discourage me from going ahead but it wasn't so in her case. "I just want to take a nap. It's nothing serious but I appreciate it. I would have preferred tea anyway. That reminds me, Grandma, we need to employ a live-in maid, or if you will not be comfortable with that the person can always come and leave when it is time. I do not like seeing you stressing yourself out o

A few weeks later, "This presentation has to be the best I have heard in decades." One of the associates commended me after I had finished presenting, and I couldn't be more proud of myself than at that moment. Watching your work get so much recognition was as good as having someone tell you you have made it. "I think you should keep an eye on this one. He has a lot of potential that he should look out for. He is going to be useful for this project, and I don't want anyone on this except to match his level of intelligence." The associate went on to say with a commendable smile on his face. I wasn't sure that they knew my identity if not it was going to detract from my score sheet because they would have thought that my grandfather had helped me out without knowing that the man was as strict as a nun, he wasn't going to do anything that would look like he was enabling me and for that I respected him so much. I wouldn't also want to be in a position where I knew I wasn't competent to

The school bell dinged just right in time as I entered the hall, and I checked my time. It was only Mr Braxton who knew my movements and allowed me to go and come in as I pleased because he knew I was taking care of my grandmother. Well, that was what I told him for now. He would know the truth later on. The janitor stared at me like I had committed a crime that I didn't even know of. I kept on looking at him, waiting for a confrontation of the sort, but nothing came, so I continued into the class. Babe might probably think that I was sneaking out of school to commit a crime like some people did but I didn't blame them. They gave people the impression that that was all life was all about but here I was making sure that everything was going on smoothly. "So... Why are you just coming to school by this time when you know the rules?" The history teacher confronted me as soon as I passed by the staff room. I had to wait and turn, return to where they were sitting to explain my plight.

A few Days Later,After intense preparation for the competition, I felt a little tired as I walked into the school environment the next morning. My entire body was screaming for me to go back to bed and get some rest. I yawned leisurely and tucked my hand in my trouser’s pocket as I walked through the school halls, as I did my brain was calibrating literally.I could have sworn I saw double images of everyone as I walked by. For a moment, in fact, I lost my way but soon found it back and quickly headed to my locker, picking out the notes I needed when it struck me that I hadn't done the actual home reading we were tasked to do. I shook my head slamming the door shut.“Man, school sucks,” I mumbled to no one in particular, strolling towards

"Both of you stand down!" The principal commanded in an authoritative way that he listened to Mikky's explanation, trying to justify his acts. "I thought that you would have found a way to settle your differences without always having butt heads, but that isn't the case here." I smiled at him because our fight wasn't going to end anytime soon and I was quite sure of that. "Mikky, we had a discussion where you promised not to ever be involved in this anymore. Why is there a problem here?" He demanded from him. Mikky's mouth fell open instantly at the implication. "Why do you think that I am the one with a problem question mark? He was the one who was engaging me and making my life miserable, but you find a way to blame me?" He inquired. "Simply because I know the kind of person that you are that's why I might not take it easy with you. Jordan has done nothing but be himself and you have always found a way to fight him. I believe that by now you should have overcome your grievances

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

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
