Richard relaxed back on his chair, smiling at the final draft of the contract before him.

He'd just sent it to the Board Members official group chat and everyone had commended him for a great job. Except for a few people of course.

Unfortunately, there was a number of them- Sean, Garrett, Max, Derek and Roberto himself. That’s 5 out of the 15 board members.

Richard proceeded with the process anyway.

He invited the Head of Executives at Pristine Corps and some company lawyers to come inspect the contract and check if everything was okay.

The meeting went smoothly and the CEO, Miss Jackson seemed pleased with everything.

“We’ll have the official contract signing tomorrow, gentlemen. Thanks for everything.” She stood up to shake hands with each of them.

“What about the deal we insisted on?” Miss Jackson asked Richard after the lawyers left. “We agreed that in exchange for the partnership, you would be getting all your raw materials from us. But it's stated here that you will only get 7

    "You!" Roberto’s question hit a raw nerve in Richard, but he was unable to speak.There was no way he could reveal Adam’s position as President just because of a minor argument.“We’re not here for that, Mr Walters. Kindly have your seat and let’s begin the meeting!" Ernestine butted in quickly. Adam didn’t miss the looks of derision coming from Sean, Garrett and Max.Handing the mic over to Richard, the meeting began.“Good day, everyone. Like I wrote in the email, I called this meeting for a very crucial situation.” Richard began. “This is a matter that threatens the overall reputation of our company and must be dealt with the utmost urgency.”“Can we get it already?” Max interrupted rudely.Richard ignored him. “I’ll have the secretary distribute the set of documents right away.”“Now, this is a financial audit of Walters Corporations finances starting from 2 years ago. This audit was carried out by Mr Carson and a certified accountant." Richard explained. "Like it is reported, a

    Adam stared grimly at Roberto, his friends and the well-built guards they brought to surround him.“Who among you is willing to go first?” He asked, cracking his knuckles.“If I were you I wouldn’t be so confident, wait till they rip your bones apart!” Max sneered at him.“Why do you always talk when you weren’t summoned, Max?” Adam snickered. “Do you enjoy getting bloody noses?”“What are you still waiting for? Break his bones and make him beg for his life!” Roberto shouted at the guards.They pounced at Adam at virtually the same time.Adam suddenly disappeared with a flash, appearing behind one of them.The guard was startled and he lost his balance. Adam kicked each of them on the knees and they all fell, tumbling to the floor“Are these the weaklings you brought to fight against me? I literally didn’t have to lift a finger!” Adam taunted all of them.Roberto was so angry. “You unlucky fools, what’re you still doing on the floor? You're getting no payment unless you beat this idio

    The conference hall was silent for what felt like an eternity. "Mr Vice President. What do you have to say about all the allegations leveled against you?" Ernestine and the other board members asked, their faces scrunched up in contempt. Sean, Max and Garrett stood behind Roberto, looking all smug. They had been caught red-handed and there was virtually no escape! "Senior Walters handed you this position not because you're his blood relative, because this is a business not a generational inheritance! He gave you this position because he trusted that you will secure it and improve the company's overall performance, but what have you done?""Brought in cheaters, conniving with them to steal and embezzled our funds! Is this what your father taught you? To ruin all what he and Senior Walters have worked so hard to maintain?"Roberto could only grit his teeth in anger. He hated whenever anyone mentions his father in any conversation. "It's least to say we're disappointed with you. This

    Adam froze for a split second before chuckling at the guards in front of him. "What do you think you're doing? Pointing a pistol at me in broad daylight where everyone can see us?""It seems Madam Lori wants to end up just like her cousin, behind bars!""If you think I can't pull this trigger cause of some goddamned public eye, then you're grossly mistaken!" their leader yelled at Adam. Adam gritted his teeth in anger. "Then, go ahead and do it!'"Fuck, you're very arrogant, and I'm going to teach you some manners today!"The leader signalled the others, and they closed up on Adam, grabbing him steady to point the gun at his head from back, front and sideways. "Any last words?" the man smirked. "Let's see." Adam raised his hands, as though in surrender.He suddenly dashed out of their midst, escaping into the mall. Adam was so fast that no one saw when he was moving.He dragged in a large breath when he got into the mall. This was due to the supernatural abilities from his ancestr

    Roberto sat on a swivel chair opposite his maternal uncle, a playful expression on his face. "I've told you countless times to stop coming over here anytime you like, Rob. I am a busy man." Uncle Albert scolded him, though there was a small smile on his face. "I love being here, and I know you're always happy to see your favorite nephew." Roberto smiled, getting up to inspect the awards in the cabinet. "Most out-standing Inspector General of Colorado Police Force." He read out the label. "When were you awarded this?""Sometimes last week," Albert replied. "Why didn't you tell me, Uncle. How could I have missed your award ceremony!""Well it happened during the inauguration of the new Governor. You were too bothered about some creep coming to take over your company so I didn't want to get your attention off." Albert consoled him. "Well, guess why I'm here again?" Roberto returned back to the table. "Because of that creep, right?" Albert sat up. "You still haven't told me the full

    Adam frowned at the trembling girl. "What do you mean by that?""Nothing, except the fact that my Boss is cruel. I will surely get bullied and lose my job!" Sabrina panicked. "This is the only job I am using to pay the bills, sir. Please.""I'm sorry, Miss Owen. But you're coming with me, and I assure that you will not lose your job."The fear on Sabrina's face only worsened. "You don't understand, Mr Sean, he-""Come with me!" Adam didn't have the time to be convincing her not to worry.With all he had gathered today, Sean should be the one getting kicked out! Sabrina reluctantly led him to Sean's office, giving him one last pleading look. Adam didn't look at her, he just pushed the door open and stepped in. Sean and Max were seated on the couch, watching a football match and laughing aloud. "And what's this supposed to mean? Have you lost your manners that you dare to barge into my office without knocking?" Sean's smile fell upon seeing Adam. "You idiot!" He lashed out at Sabrin

    Adam gave Richard one last nod before stepping into the office. Roberto, Sean, Max and Garrett were already seated on a round table. "Here I was thinking you might decide not to show up." Roberto chuckled sarcastically as they settled down. "This is an important meeting held between the company's executives, but I'll first love to invite you all to my fiancee's birthday party to be held this weekend." Roberto passed the IV cards to everyone of them. Adam gritted when he saw the name. It was his ex-wife, Seraphina Hemsworth's birthday party. 2 weeks ago, he'd been working hard cultivating herbs in order to raise money to get an appropriate gift for her. Now, she was engaged to be married to someone else already. "Can we cut to the chase already!" Adam snapped, squeezing the card angrily. A sinister smirk crossed Roberto's lips. "Calm the hell down.""First, we have to turn in our bi-weekly reports and brainstorm ways which we can increase the company's performance." Roberto sai

    "What?" Adam placed the first aid kit down. "What do you mean having this man here could place us in grave danger?"Eunice bit her trembling lips, then rushed to close the door. "I heard the Dark Earthlings are looking for their Master's father."Adam frowned. The Dark Earthlings were a small religious cult operating here in Colorado, they had extreme moral codes and conduct that once broken will result in fatal consequences. He had heard if their Master, Lord Jared a few times. "I have a feeling this old man is Lord Jared's father!" Eunice announced with a trace of fear. "What?""I went out the other day and heard some men discussing that Lord Jared was looking for his father. He seemed to have gone out for a stroll but didn't return. I enquired further and discovered that the old man had epilepsy and loves taking herbs!"Adam's expression remained unchanged. "But we're only trying to help the man, we didn't stab him, did we?" Jude was confused. "We actually have no substantial e

    "No, No. That's impossible!"

Philip asked him. "That bastard was driven by envy to set me up and heap a lot of false allegations against me! He turned the while station against me that had to flee for my safety!""Believe me, Felix. While you were out fighting for your company, I was actually fighting for my life!"Felix stared at his old friend for a while before taking in a deep breath and looking away. "This Charles, where is he right now?"Philip clenched his fists at the thought of his nemesis. "Serving as the deputy inspector and still corrupting the Police force with his evils! He was one of the people that forged the document presented at Walters Corporations recently!""What?" Isaac suddenly butted in. "A member of the police aided in forgery?

    Isaac’s eyes darkened tremendously as he gazed into his son’s fierce eyes. “A…Are you threatening me right now?”“Take it however you like, old man. Answer my question already, I don’t have all day!” Felix smiled bitterly. As he said this, he retrieved his phone and almost immediately, a recording was playing.Isaac’s heart palpitated as he heard himself from 15 years ago, gearing Williams on when he started turning into a cruel kid.He swallowed hard, his fearful gaze zeroed in on the man in front of him. “Y…You can’t betray your father like this!”“Who says I can’t?” Felix let out a mocking laughter. “Did my own father consider me when he was making bad decisions?”The old man stumbled back on trembling legs and fell on the sofa, his eyes reflecting fear and angst.“Dad, please.” Adam had to jump in at this point. “We can talk this out. We should all be on the same team, not working against each other.”“You tell that to your grandfather, is he ready to work with us and stop hiding

    "You can come in." Adam said to the person at the door. Isaac picked up his napkin to wipe his lips when his hands froze. "S...Son?"Starting back at him was his very own beloved son, Felix Walters. "Father," Felix growled in disdain, his face hard as he took a few steps forward. "S...Son, you're awake?" Isaac's eyes was still wide with shock. He stumbled up in an attempt to reach out and touch his son. "After 9 months, you're finally awake!""And you have a lot of explaining to do!" Felix grabbed his hands, stepping away from his touch. He glanced around the huge hall, his face getting colder. "I can see you you've been having a good time while I lay unconscious.""Son, you can't say that." Isaac muttered, pain in his voice. "Do you have an idea how I torture myself to sleep every night? My nightmare are plagued by regrets and agony. If I didn't throw you out when you came running back for my help, you wouldn't be in that condition, your wife would still be alive and your childr

    Seraphina stared at Adam like he’d grown two heads. “What the hell is this freak doing here anyway?” She turned to ask her mother. “Too bad you don’t appreciate good business advices.” Adam shook his head in pity. “Anyway, I’m here to see the document you claimed I sign to hand over my Mall to you.” “You’re kidding, Adam.” Seraphina laughed. “Even if you saw it, what are you going to about it, we have submitted the letter to the Ministry of works and it passed through the due process. Challenging them is like challenging the Governor himself.” “Leave this deluded man, come tell me what Mr Brooklyn wanted!” Lori waved him off like a stray dog. She managed to drag Seraphina into a more private area. Adam ignored them, heading back to the main hall. The leader of the goons who had managed to get up despite his sprained his ankle. He grabbed the man by the hair. “Where did your Boss keep the safe for important documents?” The man shook his fists angrily. “Don’t touch me, you-“ he was

    After ascertaining the same set of report from Jude as well, Adam also worked him some money after getting off the call. "I heard she'll be at the Mall tomorrow morning, I'll be visiting to warn her to back off." He said so calmly that Cleo paused her hands on the new bandage she was wrapping around Holton's head. "And what has your threats accomplished during the past few months?" She placed her hands on her waist, glaring at him. "Nothing! Absolutely nothing!" "I don't intend to argue with you. Just wait and watch what will happen." Adam said and spun around. "I'll also visit those useless people, but not with you." Cleo muttered, returning back to the bandage. Adam got into his room and placed a call to Barry. "I have a huge job for you." "As long as the pay is fat as well." Barry laughed. "Money is not an issue, I just found out the 4 set of people that are meant to judge the Annual Prestigious Family Awards. Look into them and give me feedback by tomorrow morning." "A

    "So you're saying I can't see my friend right now to clarify the issues between us?" Philip asked, his voice grave. "I get how you feel, uncomfortable cause of the kind of hatred your friend is showing towards you due to a misunderstanding, but please we have to be cautious." Adam explained seriously. "My father just woke up from coma and we cannot afford to be taking too much risks right now!" Adam didn't care if he came off as harsh. He really had to make sure it sank into this man's head. He knew how stubborn and impulsive Philip could be, same with his father Felix. "Alright. I've heard you. I'll try to avoid the confrontation for now." Philip replied and disconnected the call. "Why was he unable to reach you?" Richard asked as Adam returned the phone. "Don't tell me you directed his calls to voicemail?" Adam looked away in guilt, "what could I have done? I need to avoid speaking to him until my father is better." Richard nodded, parting his shoulders. "Dinner or later, th

    At the office the following day, Adam hadn't as much as stepped out of the lift when he heard a commotion at the entrance of the board room. Ernestine, Thomas and Richard were at the door, yelling at someone to come open it. "What is going on here?" Adam walked briskly to approach them. "Ah, thank God you're here, Carson. Can you speak to Roberto and ask him to open the door at once?" Adam peeked in and see Roberto sitting at the head of the table, stating at something on his phone. "We intended to use this place for our meeting, and we were already seated, but this brat suddenly barged in and ordered the guards to send us out!" Ernestine was fuming red. "Can you imagine the guts of that bastard? When did he become the President that he's already throwing his weight around?" Thomas was also totally pissed. "Please calm down, let me try to talk some sense into his brains." Adam tried to coax them. He couldn't blame them for being so upset though. Roberto was already crossin

"If not for you, my family might well still be in a good condition! It's all your fault, the fake report you gave the police was what ruined my company and my family!" Adam dashed forward in a effort to restrain his father. "Dad, please!" Apart from the fact that he was over-exrrtibg himself and firing his muscles to move, he was also conjuring up the emotions of the past which could be fatal. "Can you please calm down. You just came awake, you can't be moving so much!" Adam explained his father, buy the man still kept sending death glares to Philip. "It was all a misunderstanding, Felix. I didn't know that report could ruin your company's image so much." "Was that why you lied against me?" Felix hissed hotly. "You and the investigators knew that there was no signs of hard drugs in my company facilities, but you went ahead and wrote a report on

    110: Philip is the Traitor!

    Adam sat still for a while, allowing the words to sink in. Williams was an illegitimate son! Now, all the crimes he committed made more sense. He had been wondering how a son could put his own father through such emotional blackmail, exposing him to ridicule and humiliation. Now, everything was clear. Isaac was never his father, therefore there was no obligation to show him kind feelings. And now, his father, the legitimate son was the one bearing the brunt of all the drama. A muscle ticked Adam’s jaw as he lifted his eyes to his father’s face. His lashes were fluttering! Adam jumped up, rushing to the ECG machine to monitor his vitals. Everything was normal. Adam’s heart raced with excitement. Seems his father was about to wake up. Philip and Richard were still speaking to each other, oblivious to what was happening. “I always knew that Williams of a man would be bad blood. It won’t be far-fetched if he is the person behind all of this. He always hated Felix and showed it when
