Chapter: Chapter 32: Two Million DollarsChapter 32David shook his head. “Not really," he replied. “You're not God or are you?" Hearing that, Venom Reign clutched his fist. His face tightened. He could no longer take it anymore. “How dare you….., you little brat!” He turned to one of his men and nodded. “Deal with him." His man marched forward with a bat. He was about to lunge at David, when—"Please, don't.”The man stopped, bat hanging up, rage visible. The old man left his standing spot, for the first time, after arriving here. Venom Reign’s face hardened with contempt. “Who are you? And how did you get in here?" He asked. One of his men stepped forward and bowed. "The old man seems to be a friend. We tried to stop him from coming, but he refused and followed.”Venom Reign smirked. "Hmm….I see." He nodded, finding it amusing. “One stubborn fly deciding to go to

Chapter: 31: Venom Reign, the Underworld lord. Chapter 31The surroundings around the compound were filled with bushes, and the rough, but ancient gate stood firm on the way into the compound. Rough-looking men mounted at the gate with guns hung over their shoulders, but fingers placed strategically on the trigger point. Some moved about with guns too, eyes sharp, ensuring the safety of the place. Just then, a black jeep pulled over at the gate.The guy standing at the gate, scanned the car properly before pushing the gate open after recognizing it. The jeep drove in and stopped.The two men stepped down from the car and opened the door. David emerged followed by the old man.The gate guy saluted shortly before closing the gate. David's gaze swept over the place and the rugged armed men then the wrecked building that looked almost incomplete, a trace of irritation passed through his eyes.The old man felt his heart skip in an unex

Chapter: 30: Venom Reign's MenChapter 30Back at the restaurant, David and the old man had finished eating. The old man had joined after several reluctances, his mind still uneasy. The weight of Albert's threat still weighed on his mind as he stood beside David.David pulled out his card and placed it down on the counter. “Charge it," He said calmly.The receptionist nodded, took the card, and swiped it over a machine.Beep. A sharp sound echoed and abruptly stopped. She looked up, holding the card. "Here you go. Debited successfully.”Just as David collected the card and turned to leave….An old, worn-out black jeep drove into the compound and came to an abrupt stop, with the back tires almost leaving the ground, throwing dust in the air. The doors swung open and two men jumped down almost at the same time.The first man was putting on a thick black jacket, his right hand left casually, but purposely tucked in

Chapter: 29: Albert Sets to deal with David Chapter 29He pressed the phone to his ear as it was ringing.It rang and ended without any answer.Albert redialed.Same thing….no answer.He bit his lips, frustrated. “Come on, Venom. Pick up." He forwarded the call for the third time. It was ringing and just when it was about to end again without any response…."Hello, who are you?” A deep voice came out. “Why are you disturbing this line?”Albert sighed. He didn't bother to respond to the man's question. “Where's The Venom? Please, give him the phone. I have a job for him.”A short silence from the other end. "Alright. Hold on.”Albert nodded although the other man could not see him. He said nothing, waiting for the phone to be passed. "What job is it?” A more muscular voice than the previous one peered through the speaker. Recognizing the voice, Albert Watson, shifted, straightening himsel

Chapter: 28: David Challenges Albert Watson Chapter 28The man turned, his face twitched with irritation as he took David in. “And who are you?" He asked, his voice belittling. David didn't bother himself to respond. He pulled his hand out of his pocket, eyes turning dark as he stared at the fuming man. “He’s paying nothing," he repeated, expression unreadable. His voice was absolute, carrying no hint of fear. “This old man mistakenly hit your table. He tried to apologize, but you didn't let him. You hit him hard. You disrespected him despite his age and you still want him to pay you?”David shook his head firmly. "No, that's not going to happen.”The man shot David a deadly glare. “How dare you talk to me like that?" He said with gritted teeth. “Do you know who I am? I'm Albert Watson, a multi-millionaire. No one dares me and goes unpunished." He bragged.David didn't flinch. He looked directly at Albert's face and said. “Who asked you all of that? Or are you

Chapter: 27: Albert Watson Chapter 27The car was still on its way, silence heavy inside when the old man eventually broke it. He looked through the rearview mirror, his grip tight against the steering wheel, and inquired curiously. “Who really are you, Sir, sorry, David?” David smiled while seated at the back. “Just a human like you." The old man shook his head sideways. "That's not what I meant.” He responded politely. "The last time I encountered you, you looked like someone without a background. I mean, you couldn't even pay me. You even attempted to give me your clothes.” A sharp pause before he continued. "How come about this?”David shifted on his seat, pretending he didn't know what the old man was talking about. "About what?”A sigh escaped. "About everything. Everything that happened back there. The influential Ava seemed to adhere to your command. In fact, you seem powerful with a strong background. Wealthy.” He looked ba

Chapter: Chapter Chapter 153 Sarah also froze at the sight of Anthony. How? How could he be here? She whispered, completely astonished. Her eyes widened. She opened her mouth, but a coherent response couldn't come out. “An…. Anthony, you?” She stammered.Anthony’s eyes flicked from Sarah to Benjamin and he stared at him for a moment longer. Then, they flipped back to Sarah, his eyes filled with quiet intensity. He walked closer. “Sarah,” he called out, still as if he was dreaming. “What are you doing here? With him?” He gestured toward Benjamin. “Didn't you say you were at home taking a rest?” Sarah stood there, iced at a spot. Her mouth went dry of words, a heavy weight of guilt descending on her. “It—it's not what you think, Anthony. There's —”Anthony cut her off, his voice cold. “What else do you want to say? Lie to me again?” He said, completely annoyed. “I called to check on you to know how you were doing and you told me you were resting at home,” he paused, then added. “So, this is the hous

Chapter: Chapter 166Chapter 165Liam dropped the document he was reviewing. He looked up but wasn't interested in those kinds of compliments so he simply said, “Thank you. Please, have a seat.” He gestured toward the seat opposite him.Biden put himself in order and sat down. “Thank you.” Liam straightened up and asked. “You're back from the United States of America. How's your father? Hope he's fine.”Biden smiled. “Yes, he is.”Liam nodded then his expression turned serious. A business discussion looks. “So, what brought you to my office?” Biden shifted slightly in his seat. “I came back not days ago, so I thought it was wise to come here to have some discussion with you.”“About what?” Liam frowned.Biden smiled faintly. “About business. I heard a younger person had taken over the position of chairman so I have come to know more about this.”Liam grabbed the document back again. He scanned through it then looked at Biden. “Did you inform me you were coming? I mean, you've a manager. And if you must

Chapter: Chapter 164Chapter 164The nylon burst opened, the white substance pouring onto the ground. The white substance was revealed. Biden's heart skipped, his eyes widening. He couldn't say a word. The bodyguard froze at a spot, his heart pounding rapidly with fear. If anything goes wrong, then he'll be in trouble.Meanwhile, Anthony having no idea about what was in the nylon, quickly said apologetically. “I'm sorry, so sorry.”He bent down to gather the stuff, but Biden's bodyguard quickly pushed him away. “Get your hands off it!” He snarled, his expression dark.The impact was so much that Anthony almost fell to the ground, but he caught himself. His face twisted with rage. “What the fucking hell was that?” He shot back, his eyes red with anger.The bodyguard ignored him entirely, his eyes focused on gathering the substance so no one else could see it.Meanwhile, Biden adjusted his suit, cleaned his lips, making sure no trace of any substance was seen. Having done that, he turned to face Anthony,

Chapter: Chapter 163Chapter 163Meanwhile, still within the four walls of Almighty Anthony's Empire's headquarters, a sleek black Range Rover pulled into the compound. Heads turned and eyes turned towards the direction of the car as it was parking at a spot. Some even paused to know who the person inside the car was.As the car parked, the door opened, and a tall, mighty man with a muscular body rushed out of the car. Running over to the other side, he opened the back door, his head bowed to the ground with respect.Just then, a man stepped out.He was putting on a tailored suit and classic and polished Oxford shoes. Wrapped around his wrist was a Rolex watch costing $16,000.The young man carried himself with grace as he looked around the towering structure with admiration. “This is something….. amazing!” He commented.His bodyguard slammed the door shut and nodded, but dared not look into his eyes. “Yes, master. Almighty Anthony's Empire has improved rapidly over the years.” The young continued to no

Chapter: Chapter 162Chapter 162Liam leaned forward, cleared his throat, and started, his expression soft. “Young master, the Cornelius Marcus’ family is one of the top successful business families in town, and I doubt if they don't beat the first amongst all.”Anthony only nodded, silently encouraging him to carry on. Liam nodded also and carried on, “They run a company which is well known in town and it's doing excellently well. And undoubtedly, they're worth millions.”Anthony’s face lit up with interest. He leaned forward and asked, his arms casually crossed across his chest. “Does that make them powerful?”Liam chuckled softly, his genuine smile parting his lips. “No, my master,” he shook his head in disapproval. “They're only powerful to people who aren't up to their standards, but I tell you, they're just at the tip of our mercies. It is because of us they're excelling.”He shifted slightly in his seat. “If we choose to pull back from helping them, they'll collapse in just a night.” Anthony tilt

Chapter: Chapter 9 “Miss, get me another bottle!” Eric shouted at the waitress, his eyes rolling around the place dramatically. “Again?” The waitress asked, shock yet concern filled in her voice. “Shut up your trash and do as I command!” Eric barked at her again. “This is my money and you can't tell me what to do and what not to do with my money. Is that understood?” “Yes, sir! I'm sorry,” the waitress replied, her voice sharp with apologies yet respect. “I’m bringing it to you right away.” “Good!” Eric said, nodding his head. In front of him was a table occupied with just a glass and four bottles of beer he had just drunk. After the incident at his workplace, he decided to go to a bar to get himself to ease his frustration. To him, it was the best way to get rid of it. Eric stared at the four empty bottles of beer he had finished drinking. Then he blinked and started to smirk. “They all think I'm a poor person, don't they?” he muttered, his voice thick and slurred. He leaned back on his sea

Chapter: Chapter 8Eric's hand stopped mid-air, his breath catching. “M–my home? What are you talking about?” He asked, looking confused as he set down the glass without taking a sip.Christopher smiled faintly, taking a seat opposite Eric. “You see, Eric. This is your home and I'm your grandfather—Christopher.”Boom! Eric was shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief. “Y—you’re my grandfather?” A faint smile escaped his lips and he shook his head. “Tell me you're joking, right?”Christopher shook his head, his expression calm and his smile never faltering. “That's the truth, my boy. Weren't you surprised how I got to know your name? That's because I'm a grandfather.”Eric's mind skipped, and fear gripped him almost immediately as something seemed to strike his head. The name sounded familiar and so was his face when he had a closer look. His late parents had made mention of this name to him but it was something not good.Eric forced himself up, moving back to the chair. “Y—you? You're alive?” Christophe

Chapter: Chapter 7 “Eric?” Eric repeated his own name, shocked. He immediately looked up at the old man. Confusion and surprise were written all over his face. “How do you know my name? And who are you?” He asked, still on his knees. Christopher smiled, understanding his curiosity but he said, “Please, stand up first and have a seat. Only when that is done shall we discuss.”Eric was reluctant but at the old man's persistence, he stood up, staring around briefly before looking at the man. He was short of words. “Please, sit down,” Christopher gestured toward the couch.“Sit down?” Eric asked, shaking his head as he glanced at the plush cushion. “No, I'll stand up, I can't afford to buy a new one if I dirty anyone.”Christopher chuckled lightly. “It doesn't matter. If it gets dirty, I'll trash it and get a new one.” His voice was casual as if getting a new cushion as plush as that was the simplest and easiest thing to do. “Please, have a seat and make yourself comfortable, I'll be back.” Without wa

Chapter: Chapter 6At that same time, the sun rose from the east and shone through the thick, luxurious curtains that hung in an epicurean living room that exuded wealth.The living room was vast, having polished cushions neatly and nicely arranged. Artworks were used to beautify the place. There was a large flat-screen TV that was hung on the wall, and a calm yet alluring movie was on display on the screen. Everything in the room screams wealth and sophistication.On one of the plush cushions lay an unconscious, young, handsome guy around the age of twenty-three, and an elderly man, around the age of eighty, stood tall there, arms crossed, glancing down at the guy.He couldn't say a word. The room was like a graveyard except for the soft ticking of the old wall clock. The old man just stared down, concern and worry evident on his facial expression. “Doc, hope he will be fine?” The old man asked a man who was putting on a white garment. The silence finally broke. It was the family doctor. The do

Chapter: Chapter 5Eric blinked at the man, refusing to take the letter. “Who are you? I don't know who you are.” He shifted backward, trying to avoid the man's touch.The man smiled faintly, understanding. “You have nothing to fear,” he said, his voice reassuring. “I'm Henry Lucas, your grandfather's right-hand man. He's sent us here to bring you home.” Eric protested, his voice weevil. “I don’t have any parents. How then will I have a grandfather?” He asked, looking skeptical. “Or have you all come here to kidnap me with those expensive cars of yours?”Henry shook his head, chuckling softly. “Oh, no. We aren't here for that, sir,” he said dismissively. “You'll have to come with us so you'll know better.”“Sir?” Eric frowned, unimpressed. “Why are you calling me that?” Henry chuckled lightly. “Like I said, when you come with us you'll get to know more.”Without waiting for another response from Eric, Henry turned to face the crowd that had gathered around Eric, his expression dark. “What were you all
