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
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
For a few seconds, no one said anything as Liam stood in front of James who maintained a smirk on his face, showcasing the wrinkles on his face that complimented the gray hairs that grew like patches on his partly black hair. “I think we should all get seated, Gentlemen.” Nick broke the silence that was lingering in the room, gesturing to everyone to sit down. Liam was the first to grab a seat, he pulled the black seat at the end of the table meant for the position of the CEO and sat down slowly before he rested his hands on the table, and sighed heavily.His uneasiness lingered, and so did his curiosity and the fact that he wasn’t sure of what he was doing. He looked at the four men who slowly sat down on their seats, and he could see the looks of displeasure that were written all over the faces of James and Silas who reluctantly grabbed their seats and sat down. Silas brought out a brown cigar from his jacket which he lit and took several puffs from without minding about the
Reluctantly, Silas put out the fire at the bottom of the cigarette and returned it to the pocket of his jacket while everyone watched amidst the embarrassment that refused to let go of him. When he was he lifted his stoned face to look at Liam who nodded in satisfaction while he maintained the smirk on his face. “Well done, Mr. Prescott, you have done well.” Liam chuckled softly, and then he turned to look at the Manager who drew closer to hear what he was going to say, following his gesture of beckoning. “I think we can begin the meeting in earnest. I am certain that these Gentlemen here have some other important things they would love to attend to. We cannot keep them waiting for so long.” “I understand perfectly, Lord Emrys.” Nick bowed slightly after he had turned to completely face Liam who nodded in response. Nick took in a deep breath which he let out slowly, and when he turned to look at the four CEOs who were waiting to hear from him, he cleared his throat before he
