"I would love you to keep your cool and lay low at the Webs until we figure out what actually happened to your dad's helicopter and more importantly why it happened."
Carlos Alfred said, his voice was laced with reason.
Kyle stared at him as he pondered on what he just told him.
"You are definitely right, if my father's helicopter crash was a coverup news that means that I might be a possible next target."
Kyle added, his face now etched with a mixture of trepidation and anxiety.
"Lord Lincoln, I'm pretty sure no one is aware of your existence."
"Your dad did a great job hiding your birth from the world and I believe it was for a purpose."
"Right now, like I said, lay low at your foster home and together we will figure out what happened to your father's helicopter that night."
Carlos Alfred's voice was laced with a hint of assurance and security.
Kyle only stared back and forth at Carlos Alfred and his mom's ATM card that had access to trillions of dollars.
************************************************
Moments later, Kyle is getting off the Escalade just 5 poles from the Webs.
"Lord Lincoln, remember what I told you, you can get your bike from the back of the car."
"No problems Carlos Alfred, you know you should have allowed me to go back and pick up my bike instead of buying this brand new gold plated bike."
Kyle immediately said as he stared askance at Carlos Alfred.
"You know what, you are right, let's go back and get your rickety bike."
"What was I even thinking?"
"A poor boy suddenly showing up to lectures on a gold plated bike would definitely draw attention to you."
Carlos Alfred's voice was laced with disappointment at his decision.
"You think!"
Kyle immediately asked sarcastically as Carlos Alfred pulled the car back and they went back to the Silicon Mountain university garage and got his bike.
"Please Lord Lincoln, whatever you do, don't draw attention to yourself…we have a lot of troubles on our hands already."
With that been said, Carlos Alfred speeds off leaving Kyle to continue his journey back to his foster home, a place where disdain had become a normal thing for him.
Getting inside the mansion, Kyle immediately realized that Stephen and Martha Webs, his foster parents, weren't around.
"Where could they be?"
He thought to himself as he walked slowly to his room, staring at his watch, it was already 7.30pm.
Getting inside his room, Kyle immediately locked his room and laid on his bed pondering on all that Carlos Alfred had told him and all that had happened today from the unexpected breakup from Chloe Walter to finding out today that he had been a trillionaire from birth.
As he laid on his bed trying to articulate his thoughts, a heavy knock came on his door causing him to shudder out of his thoughts.
"Who is there?"
"Come out you bloody peasant!"
The cold and detached voice of a lady immediately broke through.
"Shit, Sophia."
Kyle immediately muttered to himself as he walked towards the door and opened it.
Standing before him was three ladies staring at him in disgust.
"My friends and I are having a sleepover tonight, here, get this laundry ready in 12 minutes and get it delivered to my room."
Sophia's voice was laced with disgust and anger as Susan Hunter and Charlotte Martins poured the dirty laundry on Kyle and they pranced out laughing mockfully at Kyle.
"Remember Kyle, you have 11 minutes remaining, so get to work."
Kyle immediately shook his head in disappointment.
"If only she knows who I have become as of today."
Kyle immediately took the dirty laundry to the laundry room, as he was washing, he immediately noticed that the ladies had left their dirty underwear in the laundry.
Placing a peg on his nose, he packed the dirty underwear into the laundry bag and dried the washed clothes and went straight to deliver the clothes to the ladies.
Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!
The silent knock on the door caused the ladies to reduce their loud music as they opened the door.
"Wow, that was fast."
"Sophia, your maid sure does know his job very well."
Charlotte Martins said as she stared at Kyle who was handing them their laundry and the laundry bag full of their dirty underwear.
"I'm not her maid, I'm a Trill…I meant the adopted child of her parents."
Kyle immediately came up with a coverup as he almost revealed his true identity just as Carlos Alfred had warned him not to.
"Well, there is clearly no difference between a family maid and an adopted son."
Susan Hunter added as they all laughed out loudly and scornfully.
"What is that in the laundry bag?" Sophia immediately asked, her face etched in bewilderment.
"Oh, it's your dirty underwear, you can't expect me to wash them right?"
Kyle immediately asked as he stared at them all in surprise.
"You can have…" Before Kyle could complete his statement, he was interrupted by a heavy slap from Susan that sent him off his feet and straight to the ground.
"Are you nuts?!"
"Why wouldn't you do the laundry?!"
Sophia yelled to his face on the floor bathing Kyle with spit.
Before Kyle could realize what was actually going on, Charlotte immediately emptied the bag of dirty underwear on Kyle.
Sophia pulled out her phone and made a mockery video of him as the ladies dumped the dirty underwear on him.
"Kyle I'm about to post this embarrassing video of you on I*******m, let's see if the world would love pantsman."
Sophia said as she and her friends continued laughing while Sophia prepared the video to be posted online.
"I love the title #Pantsman."
Susan Hunter said as she laughed out loud.
"Don't you dare post that video!"
Kyle yelled from the ground as he stood up from the ground staring at the ladies, his fist clenched in vexation.
"Or what?"
"Have you forgotten your place in this mansion all of a sudden?"
"Let me remind you, you are nothing but a poor brat who my mom picked from the orphanage."
Sophia said disdainfully as she immediately posted the video on I*******m.
Under 30 seconds the video went viral as everyone was now tagging Kyle #Pantsman.
To make matters worse, Chloe Walter saw the video too.
Kyle immediately bent his head and walked away from the room.
"You all will regret this…"
Kyle said as he pulled out his phone on his way to his room.
The next day Kyle was awoken by the loud sound of his ring tone.Jumping up immediately, he stretched his body and picked up his phone.His gaze fell on the screen of his phone, the number was secured."Who they heck could this be?" Kyle asked as he immediately picked up the call."Hello…Carlos Alfred is that you?... How did you even get my number?"Kyle asked as he plopped into his bed."Lord Lincoln, meet me at your university Cafeteria in 30 minutes and come alone."The voice of Carlos Alfred was a bit vehement and laced with urgency."Okay I will be there…how did you get my number, I don't recall giving it to you."Kyle asked, as he awaited a response."Is that really a question?""You are talking to the personal guard of the most influential man on the continent, I have got my own ways of doing things and so many things you are yet to know about me."Carlos Alfred immediately said, his voice was barely above whispers."Lord Lincoln, remember don't come to the cafeteria with your
Kyle immediately ran over to where Carlos Alfred was squatting and going through the files.Gazing at his hand, Carlos Alfred immediately dropped a box he found in the safe on the table."What's in the safe?"Kyle asked as his face was laced with eagerness to find out what's inside this box."We are about to find out soon enough."Carlos Alfred said as he opened the box.Dipping his hand inside the box he pulled out another Premium card."This must belong to your dad, add it to your mom's ATM card, who knows it might come in handy soon enough."Carlos Alfred said as he handed the gold plated card to Kyle who took it immediately."That card was issued to your dad by the bank of the world, the Switzer bank…you can't even imagine the amount of money that is already logged onto that single card."Carlos Alfred continued as Kyle still admired the gold plated fortune."Here are some of your dad's dairy, notes and joter.""Keep them on that table over there we will go through them to see if
"Alright Lord Lincoln it is done.""In the next few minutes I will be sending out the information to the other directors for immediate execution."Mr Chang immediately said, his voice was barely above whispers but laced with assurance."I will be expecting an update."Kyle said as he immediately hung up the call.45 seconds later, Kyle and Carlos Alfred got the notifications on their phones."That was fast." Carlos Alfred said as he stared at his phone."This should teach the Hunters and the Martin's who's the boss around here."Kyle said as he and Carlos Alfred laughed out loud."Those girls are animals, I really still can't believe they made that horrible video of you."Kyle stared at Carlos Alfred and smiled, "I have had worse experiences especially from Mr Stephen and Martha Webs."His voice was barely above whispers.Picking up his phone he stared at it in shock."Wait a minute!""The moment we pulled off the Platinum Guard Investors support from the Hunters and Martin's family b
The situation was intense as Carlos Alfred searched through but safe house for Kyle.Pushing open a door frantically, his gaze fell on Kyle who was backing him."Lord Lincoln, what are you doing here?"Carlos Alfred asked, his voice barely above whispers as he approached Kyle."Carlos Alfred, you have got to check out this book that I just saw."Kyle immediately said as he turned to face Carlos Alfred.Carlos Alfred immediately took a heavy breath of relief."Lord Lincoln, you really got me frightened back there.""How did you access this part of the safe room?"Carlos Alfred asked, his voice was barely above whispers as he stared at the weird book in his hand."My palm…it seems to be the key to practically everything in this room."Kyle said as he stared too at the book in his hand."Carlos Alfred what do you make of this book that has a biometric lock?"Kyle asked as he examined the book."Careful with that Lord Lincoln!"Carlos Alfred immediately screamed.Kyle immediately smiled g
"Mr Carlos Alfred.""It appears your secret code ain't any secret code."Jake immediately broke the shocking revelation to Kyle and Carlos Alfred who stared at the phone in bewilderment."What do you mean by that?""We found that code in a secured vault…there is no way it's not a secret code."Carlos Alfred immediately said, his voice was ortund.Jake kept silent for a while and then gave out a silent giggle."Jake!" Kyle immediately screamed."Okay you got me… it's a secret code and it belongs to Mr Douglas Lincoln."Jake said laughing out loud."It appears to be the code of 1 of his 32184 depository boxes at Vortex Vaults, the world's most secure vault system."Jake added now losing his playfully demeanor and putting on a serious look."Nice work Jake…nice work."Kyle immediately said, his voice was laced with respect for the young boy's expertise."I heard you run my dad's cyber security company?""Yes Lord Lincoln… I do."Jake replied, smiling gleefully from his seat in the Lincol
The situation was intense and palpable as Kyle paced around and began."It all began the day I was adopted into the Webs family…My foster mom, Martha Webs saw the key stuff on my neck and she took it.""She was like…I will keep it for you whenever you need it, you can come get it.""I trusted her and let her keep it…I didn't even know what it was, all I can remember is that I have always had it from the orphanage."Kyle Immediately cleared his throat and continued, "Since then I have tried asking her and she keeps saying it's lost.""It wasn't until last week I saw the star key on Sophia's neck.""I had earlier overheard Mrs Martha telling Sophia to keep the stuff which she gave her safe.""Immediately I saw the star key on the neck of Sophia, I immediately realized that it might be what her mom was talking about.""I didn't think it was that important so I hadn't confronted Sophia over the star key."As Kyle narrated, Carlos Alfred just stared at him, nodding his head slowly."This i
"Lord Lincoln, I would never lie to you." "Your grandmother, Lady Isabella Lincoln, is perfectly okay… what matters now is finding that star key." "We need to know what your dad has inside of those depository boxes." Carlos Alfred said, his voice was barely above whispers yet laced with assurance. Kyle stared at him, nodded and ran off to the Web's mansion. ************************************************ Now inside the Web's mansion, Kyle enters the ante room and turns, immediately he bumped into Juliet, the maid at the Web's mansion. "What the heck!... don't you watch where you are going?" Kyle immediately screamed as he held Juliet from falling to the ground. "I'm really sorry I didn't see you there." Juliet said as she immediately broke herself off Kyle. "Where have you been Kyle…I have really missed you." Juliet's voice was mellifluous as she smiled at Kyle. "What are you talking about?" Kyle immediately asked as his demeanor changed from exhilaration to a mixture o
I…I…You are what, kyle? Blurted out Juliet as she stared askance at Kyle who was still looking furious and confused trying to find the perfect excuse to his reason for stepping into Sophia's room in her absence.Sophia, realizing that she had sounded harsh to Kyle, turned down her tune and proceeded to ask him politely.“You are in Sophia's room, I hope you know that, and why's that so”?“You know how crazy she gets when I don't do her laundry or attend to her room”. Kyle's voice turned mellifluous.So I decided to check if by chance she had any dirty laundry. If you don't believe me, here's my broom and dustpan.Juliet said, her voice was barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of trepidation and anxiety.“How is it that some minutes ago, you made mention of trying to find something and here you are… in Juliet's room”. “And what's that you just placed in your pocket as you are pretending to be working?”.Kyle immediately swallowed a hard lump…“It's nothing Juliet… It's not
