Without waiting for a grand entrance from Mr Deep Lens, he proceeded to read the words he could make out aloud.“Zick,” Louis began reading, exchanging glances between the paper and Deep Lens who crossed his arms.“I know somewhere deep down your guts you still crave for your child, and it pains me that we have to get a two-week reservation before seeing you. If you really want your kid around then claim us,” Louis stopped and exhaled loudly, shaking his head in astonishment. “Forgot about the inheritance, it's not yours to take and no amount of children you try to have will make you legally the owner of his property,”Louis stopped again and wondered what inheritance the writer was talking about and whose. His family's plot thickened by the moment, and he just sat there, unable to bring it to an end.“I have reserved tickets for me and my child to Paris, and if you don't rush to see your child, then this is the last you will ever see us,” Louis heaved. The hairs on his skin stood s

His senses tingled as he felt the vibration of his phone. He wanted to leave the college before checking his phone but the action that led to Mr Deep Lens postponing his meeting with him dissuaded him.He slipped his hands into his pockets like he was forced to and opened the message.“The company college?” Louis jibed “weren't we all inside a while ago?”“Why couldn't they say whatever they wanted to before they announced the results? This is unreasonable,” he continued complaining.He clicked on the email message and read it with all his attention fixed to it.“You thought it was over,” Louis' heart began pounding as he saw the threatening first sentence.“Think again! Welcome to the next round, starting the moment you clicked on this message,”“What the hell?” Louis exclaimed. People rushed past him like they were in a race or something and Louis was unaware of their reasons.They glared at him with dead cold eyes, waiting to seize an opportunity to end his confidence. This furious

The station still aired fake news about the auction of his company. The worst that could happen to Louis was encountering traffic on the way while his secretary swamped him with calls of false buyers and government agencies.“Shit! Shit!” Louis punched his wheels as he honked at the cars before him to move. Time wasn't on his side nor were the competitors who attacked him through different means.“Fighting me won't get you any points,” Louis stated, venting out on his steering wheel. The lawsuits, the price inflation and the fake news all happened in a span of three hours, making him think the other contestants had an idea of what the next round was going to be.Luck decided to shine its light on Louis by paving a free path on the road after making him wait half an hour in traffic.His anger welled up to the brim when he finally got to the channel office. He raised hell on the manager of the station, threatening to sue him and take all the property tied to their name. His presence alo

Greg faked a cough and smiled instantly “You know it would take more than a fair fight to kick us out,” he boasted.“You are right, but I recalled you had a pretty low score at the last game,” Louis stated, raising an eyebrow “What happened to your collaboration?”Greg's face turned sullen immediately. The statement made him feel ashamed of speaking to Louis after declining to work with him.“Man, I didn't really expect I'd get a low score. My ideas were creative enough to get me to the top but my partner’s delivery was lackluster and genuinely, I found out he hated my guts,”“What?” Mrs Kimberly interrupted “Yeah. Please don't act so surprised. I should have known this already. He is a stranger and I have never worked with him before, I wonder what made me think it would work out,”“I'm sorry about that,” Louis uttered “Me too,” Mrs Kimberly added, clasping her hands below her waist.“But today is not about me, so can we keep the spotlight on Louis? You have proven to everyone toda

The room echoed with chatters from the members while their leader snickered at Chris.“A challenge card has never been wasted,” the leader said, walking closer to Chris “Remember this is going to be the first of its kind.”Chris exhaled and stared at the ceiling, considering his options. Though his decision didn't matter to the shadow league as they were all resolved to do it, he couldn't help but feel that they would waste the opportunity like they had been doing.“The challenge card is only a debate we had against extreme measures, why are we making it a thing with Louis,” Chris opined “Aren't we at extremes?” A man asked, his face etched with disgust as he spoke “Isn't this enough to tell you that it is time to put the challenge card to a test?”“What is your deal with this?” He asked, getting paranoid by the second “Tell us, do you want us to fail?”Chris glared at him, mumbling words that were inaudible to the members. He gave up protesting when everybody began whispering hatefu
