Liam thought about the words he heard from the Butler while he struggled with the hunger that was inside him. The fact that he was already ready to eat breakfast before Alfred came with the message made him grunt slightly while he tried to maintain a smile on his face. “Who could that be?” He said with a whisper just before he pushed the chair backward and walked toward the Butler who turned around slowly and started walking toward the living room. Liam was still wondering who the guest was when his eyes caught sight of the last person he expected to be in his mansion.“Greetings, Lord Emrys.” Silas Prescott greeted, and then he started walking toward Liam who stood still with his brows lifted to form a furrow. “Mr. Prescott? I wasn’t expecting to see you.” “Well, I didn’t expect myself to be here this morning. But I realized that it was necessary for me to be here.” Silas stood in front of Liam and offered him a handshake. “I see. Well, you are here, we might as well get t
Silas paused for a while just to make sure that Liam was listening to him before he continued with so much enthusiasm written all over his face. At that moment, Liam was able to see a desperate man who could do anything just to amass great wealth and power, but he wasn’t surprised at all as he was expecting him to be that way. “We can take advantage of the war going on in some of the countries in Europe and Asia, we can even take advantage of the terrorism in most parts of Africa. Imagine the great amount of power we would have if we united the money we have and my connections, not even the government of the country or even the military will be able to stop us.”The moment Silas was done talking, he waited to hear what Liam was going to say, and even though he was silent for a while, he didn’t mind as he was hopeful that he was going to love his business idea. Liam forced a smile on his face while he looked at Silas who was still waiting to hear a response from him. The silence
The next morning, as early as the first flicker of dawn, Liam was up on his feet, standing tall in front of his mirror with a bright smile on his face. The joy that radiated inside him was unexplainable, and he tried everything he could to figure out the reason why he was happy. “A penny for your thought?” Brina appeared behind him, putting on a grey jumpsuit with a helmet on her head. Liam was surprised at her dressing when he saw her reflection in the mirror, and he was forced to turn around instantly to look at her. “What is that? What are you wearing?”“Oh, you mean this? You like?” Brina gestured to her outfit, looking at Liam with a bright smile on her face. “Hell, no! You look like a road worker, Brina!” “Well, I saw some men by the roadside putting this on, and I decided to try it out. I think I like the way it feels on my body. It’s so free and light.” Brina lifted her right leg, and that was when Lim realized that she also had black rubber boots on. “You are unbel
As soon as Liam heard the knock on the door, he turned to look at Brina, but she disappeared at once, leaving him alone with the ostrich which started whistling while it continued walking around the room. “Hey? Can you be quiet? Shhh!” Liam placed his index finger above his lips while he continued looking at the ostrich. The nervousness that engulfed him made perspiration run down his body as he thought of what to do. A few seconds later, the knock came back, this time, it was louder than the previous one, and Liam gestured his hands toward the ostrich in other to turn it back into a vase, but it continued moving around. “Can you stay at a place? Stop moving around!” Liam stole a glance at the door when he heard the knock for the third time. Realizing that he was too distracted and nervous to make use of his powers, he went after the ostrich and led it into his bedroom before he shut the door and rested his back against it. “Quiet, you creature! Quiet!” He said with a loud whi
Clad in one of the luxurious outfits he found in the wardrobe, Liam walked down to the dining hall with Noah’s backpack in his hand. He quickly had breakfast, and then walked out of the building only to see Rebecca walking toward him with a black tablet in her hands. “Miss West? I don’t remember asking you to come today.” “Good morning, Lord Emrys.” Rebecca greeted Liam while she took a few steps closer to him just before she stopped with a smile on her face. She remained silent afterward, but Liam waited patiently fit her to give an explanation regarding the reason why she was in the Castle that morning. “You still haven’t said anything, Miss West,” Liam said impatiently, and then he took a glance at the time on his wristwatch, realizing that he was almost late for school. A few seconds later, Andy appeared, and stood in front of one of the black cars parked next to Liam. He saw that Liam was standing with his Personal Assistant, and decided to wait patiently. “I have a
Liam got out of the car with Noah’s backpack in his hands, and as soon as he shut the door behind him, he saw Larry’s Lamborghini driving toward the parking lot, and he decided to remain where he was standing without saying a word. Most of the students in the school had gone in for their lectures and the few who were still around the vicinity were either on their way to their various classrooms or were busy with one thing or the other. Liam checked the time on his wristwatch, and realized that he still had about fifteen minutes till the time for the first lecture. “That’s more than enough time.” He nodded with a smirk on his face just before he lowered his right hand and placed the backpack very close to him on the ground before he folded his arms, patiently waiting for the Lamborghini to park. “Is that not that punk? Why the hell is he standing there?” Dan said from the backseat, looking at Liam with so much annoyance all over him. His words got to Pamela who wasn't looking,
Dan was dumbfounded as well while he stared at Liam with so much shock in his eyes, not sure if holding him was a really good idea. “Is that the best you’ve got? I said it, Larry. You do punch like a girl, or even a chicken. I gave you a lot of credits, you punch like a chicken.” Liam chuckled loudly, looking at Larry who was pissed off intensely by his words. “You think I punch like a chicken? Just hold on, I will show you that I don’t punch like a chicken!” Larry rolled his right arm to gather momentum, and when he was satisfied, he clenched his fist again, and released another punch on Liam’s face, making sure that he did it with all his energy. Instead of hurting Liam just like Larry intended, his knuckles cracked, and the severe pain he got from the impact made him grunt. Certainly, his fist was dislocated, and he felt the pain down to his shoulder, causing him to take two steps backward while Liam sniggered at him. “Poor Larry! Are you hurt? I didn’t think you were tha
Pamela moved closer to Larry, and when she saw that Larry was almost out of breath as his eyes rolled backward, she gasped. “Just let him go! There is no way he is going to confess with the way you are holding him! I beg you!” Pamela pleaded with a shaky voice, almost kneeling while she struggled with the fright that engulfed her. “Fine! I will listen to you!” Liam agreed to do what Pamela said even though he felt so much anger each time he looked at her, he returned his gaze to Larry whose mouth was wide open, and then he sighed softly. “Make sure you tell me what I want to hear or the next one will lead to your death!” Liam let go of Larry who fell to the ground at once, making a loud thud while he gasped for air, breathing frantically in an attempt to regain full consciousness. “Larry? Are you okay? Can you hear me?” Pamela said anxiously while she moved toward Larry, knelt down beside him, and grabbed him by his shoulders. Larry coughed severally, and when he saw Liam st
