The Unrivalled Lord’s Return

Chapter 7

Liam and Barry walked into the hotel, they walked side by side like they were brothers. Liam had a smile on his face, the walk made him remember the days before he decided to put his sword down.

He and Barry were known as the Duo of Terror, they alone were enough to take down fifty men and it was something that no one could take from them.

Liam was not in any way an easy opponent that anyone would want to be stuck with. He was a terrifying being that lands and nations feared, he had become a Lord at an age proving to be one of the most feared men in the world.

But then he had enough of that sort of life and wanted to lay low to make sure that there was no way anyone would cause him more headaches, he wanted a simple life with a family that would be with him.

That was what made him marry Monica, he planned that he was going to take his time to spoil her. But then Monica didn't want to spend her life with someone who she thought was a bum.

Both of them reached the room where the meeting and the board members were surprised to see Liam walk in with Barry. They were expecting something that looked majestic and had all the features of a mighty billionaire but instead in front of them, they were seeing a bummy-looking man.

Due to the fight, Liam’s suit was roughed up and his clothes were a bit dirty so he looked a bit dirty. But he wasn't going to care about that, Liam looked around and saw that things were going on.

‘This ought to be funny, I wonder what they are looking at.’ Liam said in his thought when he sat down looking at the men sitting in front of him.

They all had a look of disgust on their faces they didn't know that Barry would bring in someone who looked like he was a homeless man to the meeting making it hard to even believe that they were serious at the moment.

“Is that the one we have been waiting for? He doesn't look like much, I know that this is not some kind of joke.” One of the board members said, they were looking at Liam and they were not sure that there was something that would even make someone like that the person they had been anticipating to meet.

“Yeah, he looks like he is some kind of beggar who needs more money than we do.” Another one chimed in, they were silently giggling laughing at the fact that they were waiting for someone who seemed like a bum.

“You gentlemen need to shut up and wait for him to finish off what he is doing before you judge him for his looks. You might be surprised that he is the one you have been waiting for.” One of the men spoke up, he didn't want anything to go wrong.

“Yeah right, like he has a hundred million dollars in a bank somewhere waiting for us to invest in something that will be profitable to us. That man is a bum that managed to trick you all into believing that he is something of importance when he is not and he is someone that should not be here.” Another of the men there spoke up looking at Liam with a smile on his face.

“These days you fall for tricks of people that have not even eaten three times in a day, I wonder what in the world he told you Mr. Barry for you to even allow him to walk with you.” One of the men looked at Barry, he was not going to be holding his words back when he said what was on his mind.

Barry looked at Liam, he was trying to see what his reaction was. What he saw was Liam's unbothered look, it was clear that he didn't care what it was they were saying.

“You all really should learn some manners, that is no way to talk to someone you want to work with,” Barry spoke up, he was about to stand up to say something when he saw Liam raising his hand.

Barry didn't say anything further, he was not going to interrupt what he was about to say.

Liam smiled a bit, he looked around the table and what he saw were men who had come to meet the one they called the Genius of Kundra and Multi trillionaire partner that would make any company reach its peak.

“Can I ask you fine gentlemen something?” Liam said while looking at them, he didn't want to sound like he was being pushy or like he wanted the attention.

“It's obvious what we came here for, we came here to make a deal with the Genius. The only person that could lead him to us was Mr Barry Wykes and there was no way he came here with a bum expecting us to believe that you are the genius. You are a freaking bum and there is no telling where he picked you up from.” The man said looking at Liam, he was sure that there was no way for him to be the one they wanted to see and they were there wasting their time.

Liam smiled, he knew that there was no way he would be able to say anything to convince them. But he didn't want to convince them either, he wanted to make sure that he made people stop looking down on him. “What baffles me is that your ego and stupid mind won't let you see beyond what has been placed in front of you, so what if I am the Genius what are you going to do?”

The men looked at each other, they didn't have surprised looks on their faces, they only saw Liam as a joker.

“Oh please you can't be the one we are looking for, I know that because someone like you can't even help with a strategy or the money to help on anything. You are nothing but a bum so it's time to stop acting like you are worth anything.” One of the men roared, he was looking at Liam he wanted to make sure that he crushed him completely.

Liam smiled as he scratched his head, he looked at the men. “Let's make this interesting, if you think that I am not the one you're looking for and you can prove it then you can do to me what you want. But if you can't, I am not only taking my money with me, I am never going to invest in anything that belongs to any of you that insulted me. Is that okay with you?”

Liam's question came like a surprise, the men looked at each other and then back at him.

“You're on, I hope you don't regret this.”
