Liam lifted his brows the moment he heard the words from Noah who slowly returned his gaze to him after making sure that no one was eavesdropping on them. “A secret library?” “Yes. A secret library, Emrys.” Noah nodded to affirm his words, and after shielding his mouth with his right hand, he continued. “I think it was built in the past, way before this school became existent. The books there are so old but they contain so many secrets from the past and even predictions about the past. There are books on teleportation, time-traveling, space, reincarnation, and even magic.” Noah shook his head in excitement, staring at Liam who struggled not to express the frenzy that lingered in his mind, ready to let itself out. “Sometimes, I hear voices when I am inside the library, but no one ever shows up. I was thinking that it could be some of the students in this college, but no one seems to know anything about it. I am sure that the school would have reported it to the government if
Slowly, Liam walked toward the Dean who stood patiently waiting for him to get very close before he turned around and headed to his office with Liam following him behind. “Mr. Cassius? Is everything okay?”“Just come with me to my office, Me. Perkins. We need to have a word.” Henry said without turning to look at Liam while he climbed up the stairs that led to his office. He walked into the room as soon as he unlocked the door, headed to his desk, and sat down on his seat. “Please, have a seat, Mr. Perkins.” Henry gestured to Liam who refused to sit even after he had glanced at the seat. “Thank you, but I would prefer to stand.” Liam folded his arms while he waited to hear what the Dean was going to say. He already knew the reason why he summoned him, and had already thought of a suitable response to give to him. From the look on the Dean’s face, it was certain that he was a bit nervous to speak to Liam who wasn’t like the other average students he had compelled to do his b
Liam descended the stairs and made his way toward the classroom block with so much anger boiling inside him. “That coward! He calls me a drug dealer and a drunkard! I should deal with them when the time is right, all of them!”“Relax, Emrys. Do not forget what lies ahead of you. All of these are distractions that can set you back from your path.”“Brina? You are still here.”“Of course, Emrys. I am always here with you until my time is over.” Brina responded at once while Liam walked into the classroom block and sauntered through the hallway that led to one of the laboratories in the building. “Well, I thought you had left me. You suddenly became silent and refused to give me an answer to the question I asked.” “Focus, Warlord. You still have the ancient book to find, you still have a lot to learn.” Brina caused Liam to go into a period of thinking while he continued walking slowly toward the laboratory. “How long is this supposed to take? How long am I supposed to stay bef
Circe turned to look at her maidens one after the other, and with a single motion of her hands, she instructed them to go after Liam. “Grab him since he likes it the violent way,” Circe commanded with a smirk on her face, and the maidens rushed toward Liam with signs that showed that they were waiting for that moment. “Okay, ladies, calm down. I am sure we can sort this out peacefully. No one needs to be violent.” Liam smiled at the maidens who were getting closer to him, but they refused to reciprocate as they glared at him, ready to make use of the weapons they wielded. Liam continued to move backward while Circe stood at a spot with her arms akimbo, looking at the maidens who increased the pace of the steps while they went after Liam. “This is really gonna be difficult,” Liam whispered only to his hearing while taking two several steps backward, wary of the two angry ladies in front of him. He looked at the weapons they had in their hands, and he was forced to force hard
Liam was forced to stop while Circe started to walk toward him with slow but steady steps. “I almost forgot about you.” Liam sighed softly even though he got no relief from it. “I underestimated you, mortal,” Circe said with a smirk on her face, she turned toward the maidens who were still grunting in pain, and scoffed at them before returning her gaze to Liam. At that moment, she became a bit wary of him and was cautious of not being attacked by him as she saw that he wielded more powers than she had imagined. “You may have been able to defeat my maidens, Emrys. But I will be back for you when the time is right. Phaunos may have bestowed his powers on you, but that doesn’t mean that you will be as half as the conqueror he was.” “You may be right, Circe. But that doesn’t mean that I will give up. You can try as much as you want, but I will never go back to your island with you.” Liam stood on his unshaken resolve, looking at the Enchantress who chuckled softly. “That’s new
The rest of the activities at the college took place as usual with everyone going from one classroom to the other, and attending some other events ranging from sports training to rehearsals. Larry had been so embarrassed by all the things that took place in the school that he had to go home, abandoning his friends who searched all over for him without seeing him anywhere in the school. By the end of all the activities Liam had in school, he headed to the parking lot where Andy was waiting for him beside the car. “Lord Emrys…” The Chauffeur bowed slowly. “Hello, Andy. I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for so long.” “Not at all, Lord Emrys.” Andy grabbed the handle of the back door and opened it slowly, waiting for Liam to get in before he shut it slowly. “Lord Emrys?” Andy looked at Liam through the rearview mirror while he held onto the steering wheel with both hands. “Yes, Andy? Is there a problem?” “Mr. Alfred instructed that I take you to the company straight from sc
Liam eventually pushed himself up from the bed and headed to the bathroom to have a quick shower before putting on the gray suit which fitted him perfectly.“She was right.” Liam smiled while he admired his outfit, alongside the brown Clark shoes which he got from the wardrobe. Certain that he looked like a young CEO, Liam nodded in satisfaction, adjusted his jacket before he walked out of his Chambers, and headed for the exit of the Castle. “Lord Emrys? You are back.” A female voice called out to him while he was still in the hall, trying to get to the exit doors in front of him. Monica quickly hurried toward Liam who turned around to look at her as soon as she called out to him. “Hello, Monica. It’s you…” “Welcome, Lord Emrys. It appears that you are on your way out.” “Oh yes, Monica. I have an important meeting to attend.” “But you just got back from college. You must be really exhausted and famished. I already asked Gladys to prepare something really nice for you, a
Liam kept his eyes on the lady who gave him a coy smile while she stood by the right-hand side of Alfred who was getting ready to make a formal introduction.“Lord Emrys? This is Mr. Nick Raven. Nick here is the Manager of your family’s company, he has been the one managing things for over ten years…” Alfred said to Liam who nodded in response, and then he turned to look at Nick with a smile on his face. “Nick? This is Lord Emrys Perkins, the heir to the Perkins conglomerate.” “It’s such a pleasure finally meeting with you, Lord Emrys. I was hopeful that this day was going to come.” Nick extended his hands for a handshake while Liam grabbed it slowly and shook him instantly. Nick’s face showed great gladness that he had set his eyes on Liam who was still trying to grasp meaning from everything that was happening so fast. Next, Alfred turned to look at the young lady who was eager to meet with Liam who wasn’t aware that she was still staring at him without letting go of her c
