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

  • The Return of the Legendary Student    The CEOs

    Liam stepped into the Conference hall a few seconds after Alfred had gone in, his eyes went straight to look at the four men who were suited at the two corners of the long wooden table in the middle of the hall, two at both sides. They were clad in black suits and had some files lined up in front of them while they whispered some inaudible words amongst themselves. Three of the men were in their middle age while the one who was seated on the first seat by the left looked very much older than the rest, his face showed signs of retirement as the wrinkles lined up on his forehead bore witness to the fact that he was supposed to be taking an eternal break. The moment the four men dressed in black suits saw Liam walking into the Conference Hall, they stood up slowly to show their homage while the oldest man among them seemed a bit reluctant to do what the others did. From his countenance, it was visible that he was forcing the smile on his face even though he bent his face severall

    The three of them looked ahead, attempting to see what was ahead of them, but there was nothing, not even a shadow.“Whatever that was, it doesn’t sound friendly all all.” Mr. Gary said with a shaky voice, struggling to get a grip on himself just like Maya who hurried to stand behind Liam. “Stay close, guys. Whatever that was, it senses us as threats, and I am sure it’s going to come out from wherever it is.” Liam said calmly, looking ahead while the others stood behind him. The growl came back again, accompanied by louder echoes that reverberated from several corners of the dungeon. They could hear the sound of chains rattling from some of the dungeons, but that was the least of their troubles. As soon as the echoes from the growl went silent, the sound of heavy tromping on the hard floor followed suit, causing more tension in the bodies while they kept their shaky eyes staring in its direction. Taking in a deep breath, Liam exhaled some of the tension inside him while he he

    Hidden Castle

    After almost an hour of driving on the road, they eventually arrived at their destination and alighted from the car before heading down the hill that led to the sea. The hill was located on the outskirts of the city, a place where anyone hardly came, and they could hear the sound of birds and crickets chirping from a distance, and owls hooting from the top of the trees where they nestled. Darkness was already upon them, and even though Maya was afraid that she could fall from the hill as they climbed down, the thought of Liam being close to her made her continue. “That’s the sea over there, Lord Emrys!” Mr. Gary pointed as soon as he saw the sea, still surging under the effects of the wind, cascading from one point to the other while the three of them moved to it, eager to accomplish their mission.Standing in front of the sea, Liam and Maya looked at Mr. Gary who was the only one who knew what next to do, but the look on his face showed that he was struggling with a strange fe

    Last Resort

    Liam left the Castle as soon as he was well-rested. He headed to the Tavern, hoping that Mr. Gary was back from his travel while he sauntered into the building, ignoring the eyes that stared at him with keen attention. “That’s him! That’s the one I told you about! Strange isn’t he? He walks silently, yet his strength is as noisy as the turbulence of the sea.” One of the old men who recognized Liam whispered to his friend who was not present at the tavern the previous night. Some of the other men in the tavern who recognized him cringed with a little tension, flashes of the memories from the previous night couldn’t leave their minds. They had always been afraid of the assailants who tried to take advantage of the fact that Mr. Gary was not around, and the fact that Liam single-handedly beat them to a pulp made them very wary of him. Some of them adjusted themselves quickly, hoping not to offend him for any reason. Even the stares from his orbs were enough to send jitters down their

    Clue

    Liam was gradually becoming very impatient with Reggie, but he tried as much as he could to remain calm. “Reggie?” “Yes! Jack! He had an emergency, and he had to leave! Yes, that’s what happened!” Reggie chuckled again to cover his nervousness. “He had an emergency? What type of emergency?”“Erm? He…He.” Reggie stuttered, and more sweatballs streamed down his face while he searched for the right answer to give to Liam. “His mum sent him on an errand! Yes! An errand…” Reggie nodded to affirm his words while he continued to avoid eye contact with Liam who nodded slowly. “It’s fine,” Liam said with a low tone, and then he looked at the others who quickly withdrew their gazes from him at once, pretending to be talking about something else. “Yeah! He should be home now, probably with his mum. You should check his house.” “Alright. Thank you, Reggie.” Liam waved at Reggie with a smile on his face, and then he turned slowly and walked back to his car. Sitting silently, Liam

    Where is Jack?

    Liam saw that the old lady was gradually becoming very apprehensive, and he looked for a means to get her to calm down. He forced a smile on his face, but that still wasn’t enough to get her to calm down. “Where is Noah? What happened to him?”“I need you to calm down, Miss Thompson. Noah is safe, he is probably out there someone on one of his jobs.” “I don’t believe that! Noah would never go anywhere without telling me!” The old lady stood up from her seat at once and struggled to walk toward Liam who hurriedly grabbed her when he noticed that she was about to stagger. “What happened to Noah? Tell me! He said he was going to a party with you last night!” She looked into Liam’s eyes, making him look away at once, cringed by a little guilt. “Please, have a seat, Miss Thompson. I promise to tell you everything that happened.” Liam gently led the old lady back to her seat. He removed the wool, the scissors, and the knitting needle from the chair before he made sure she was comfo

    Where is Noah?

    Waking up the next morning, Liam couldn’t stop thinking about his encounter with Maya and the little children who reminded him so much about himself. Growing up in the orphanage was too tough for him, and he had to struggle his way to be able to put himself in school, moving from one job to the other in order to make a living. He couldn’t have much for breakfast and even the Chauffeur noticed that he was unusually quiet throughout the ride from the castle down to Hilton’s college. “We are here, Lord Emrys,” Andy said calmly after turning to look at Liam who was still lost in thought. He had been staring at him through the rearview mirror, wondering what had kept him thinking for such a long time. “Thank you, Andy. I will see you after school.” Liam got out of the car and shut the door at once before he walked away while the Chauffeur watched him for a few seconds before he drove out of the school premises. Liam expected to see Noah who usually waited for him in front of the

    The Orohanage

    Liam watched the children with keen attention, and he couldn’t get rid of the nostalgic feeling that crept into his body, making him smile even without knowing it. He watched as some of them grabbed Maya’s hands and her clothes, and led her toward the only couch inside the house. “Maya! We made some cupcakes for you!”“Oh! Really?” Maya chuckled, looking at the children who seemed very excited about the words from the teenage boy who opened the door. He was the oldest among them and was obviously the leader. “I will be right back!” He ran off at once and returned a few seconds later with a plastic plate that contained two pieces of cupcakes. “We knew that you would be very exhausted and hungry by the time you get back, and we decided to make this for you.” He handed the plate over to Maya who laughed pleasantly. “Oh, Dave! This is lovely! That’s so sweet of you! All of you!” Maya looked at the cupcakes with a smile on her face while the children watched her keenly. The c

    Maya wanted to believe the words she heard from Liam, but she couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t get hurt by Raph’s dagger. “Maya? Don’t be scared, okay? I am not going to hurt you, I promise.” Liam reassured her again and waited patiently until she eventually decided to listen to him. After a few seconds of struggling with the conflict in her nerves, Maya sighed heavily, and then she managed to get a grip on herself. “I will listen to you only if you explain everything to me. You are going to tell me how you were able to do that.” Maya said nervously, looking at Liam who nodded after a few seconds. “I agree, I will tell you everything you need to know. Can we go somewhere private and talk?” Liam said when he realized that everyone was staring at him without any plans of looking away any time soon. “Just give me a few minutes.” Maya retorted almost immediately, and then she walked back to the counter to put things in order before leading Liam to the back where they sa

    Harmless

    The man who Maya punched was so furious that he growled angrily, and leaned forward over the counter to grab her. “That’s not a good way to treat a lady, don’t you think so?” Liam was on time to pull the man backward with his left hand while he put a smile on his face. “Who the hell are you? Get your hands off me!” The man grunted angrily, glaring at Liam who lifted his hands slowly without letting go of his smile. “I am just her friend. I am not here for any kind of trouble, okay? I am just here to see Mr. Gary.” Liam looked at the five men surrounding him, and it was obvious that he had succeeded in pissing them off. He took two steps backward while his hands were still in the air, but they moved closer to him, making sure that he didn’t have any space to escape. Maya was relieved that her assailants had moved away from her, but she was worried that Liam was not going to be able to defend himself against the five of them. “You made a terrible mistake coming here, boy!
