Return of the Formidable Zillionaire: Liam Storm

Chapter 5. Spend 1 million on your graduation party

     Liam was godsmacked! The last person he was expecting to see, was the person he was facing currently. He was astonished, simply because he knew the person waiting for him. 

It was totally unbelievable, and he frowned!

A deep laughter resounded out, but it only brought pressure to the butler and the guards present. 

" Are you astonished to see me or the other way?" A familiar man, sitting calmly on the couch, with a noble look, his body radiating of nothing but grace! 

Liam looked back at the old man and glared at him but didn't utter anything. 

The familiar person was none other than Liam's father, Bruce Will. 

" Nah, now don't look at the butler like that. He means well." Bruce smiled, as he pointed to the old man, who brought Liam to the mansion. 

Liam took a deep breath to suppressed the inner turmoil and the brewing anger in him! Obviously, he wasn't pleased to see his father, and he pondered on why his father wanted to see him. 

Ever since his father had left him in his young age with his mother all alone. He had resent his father and wished to never see him again. He believed his father didn't want to accept him, cause he was born from a mistress, who was his mother. He couldn't take in a mistress and a bastard, that was why he left them to survive by themselves. 

" Why are you here?" He asked boldly, with a narrowed look. " If you want to see me, then you are only deceiving yourself because I don't want to see you!" 

This time, Bruce laughed in a friendly manner, and he crossed one leg over the other. 

" I know." He still maintained a calm look, as he replied. " But there is a reason why I am here. I just feel this is the right time." 

Instantly, Liam got confused, and his frown deepened. 

" What are you saying?" 

" Won't you take a seat first?" Bruce demanded, and he immediately sat straight to face his son. " You must know the truth." He said cryptically. 

Liam stole glances around, before he took a seat and decided to hear his father out. 

Bruce sighed, old age evident from his face. He fixed his hawk eyes on Liam. " I know what I did was absurd, but I want you to know it was all a plan. I didn't leave you and your mother alone. I gave her some money to take care of you, and I explained my reasons to her, but she was to adamant to believe me." He confessed and explained. 

" Can you blame her? She gave you everything, and you still abandoned her! That was uncalled for!" He retorted and looked away impolitely from his father. 

" I know. I don't have any reason to judge you. But that was in the past. You see this butler here, I set him up to look after you and to observe the kind of person you are." He said and winked at the old man . 

This made Liam to become puzzled the more. He was getting too confused today to the extent, he felt like passing out soon. 

" Relax. I told you, it's not to harm you or anything dangerous. As a matter of fact, he lived near you just to protect you and make sure you are the right heir." He said and pursed his lips. He allowed Liam to digest the news he was giving to him for a second, before he continued. 

Liam was taken aback, and he blinked his eyes....

" My wife gave birth to only females, but you are the only son I have. Rightfully, 70% of my wealth and business is yours. That is why I wanted you to finish your college and know the kind of person you are, before handling over my business and wealth to you." 

" What??" Liam jumped up, bewildered to hear this, and he thought something had happened to his ears. 

" This is not true!" He shook his head and turned his back. " Please, I am dreaming!" 

Bruce chuckled and relaxed himself even more. " If I am pulling your legs, I won't be here." 

Again, Liam felt lightheaded, and his eyes rolled to his brain! 

This was more than he could take or chew! It was too much, but he didn't know this was just the start. 

He parted his lips, but no words came out. He was just too...stupifield and amazed! 

" You might get a heart attack if you continue acting like that." 

Bruce warned him playfully and passed him a glass of wine. " Digest what I just told you first."

" Mother told you are a wealthy person, but she never told me how wealthy you are." Liam was in disbelief and doubt, and he gazed up at his father. 

Just then, his phone rang, and he immediately picked it up. 

" Hello." He greeted, as he answered the call. 

" Liam Storm, long time bro." The person on the other end, also greeted, laughing across the other line. 

Liam nodded. It was his friend back in college days. 

" Yes." He replied. 

" A party is coming up for the graduation, this evening. Are you up for it? You should come." His friend said, inviting him to the after party of the graduation. 

" No. I don't think I should come." Liam replied, lowering his head. 

" Oh why? You don't want to miss out the fun there." His friend teased playfully. 

" Okay." Liam hung up instantly and placed his phone to one side. 

" I wish I can go, but I can't because I don't have a job or nothing," his words muffled beneath his breath, and he pinched the bridge of his nose. 

" Haha!" Bruce laughed again and shook his head amusingly. " What do you mean?" Then, he passed Liam a black golden card. 

" What's this?" Liam questioned, his eyes glueing to the card passed to him. 

" Just take it." Bruce was impatient. " This is a graduation gift for you. 

Liam took it and checked the card out. " It's a money card. How much is in it?" 

Bruce stood up and straightened himself. " You don't have to know. You can't spend it all anyway," He sessed, with a solemn look. 

Liam also stood up, but his eyes contacted slowly upon hearing that. 

Bruce ignored his son's look and gestured for his men and the butler to lead the way. 

" Let me see if you are ready. I am going to give you a mission." 

Liam's eyes flickered, dimming immediately, and he held the card tightly. 

Bruce walked forward to meet Liam and patted his shoulder slightly. 

" Spend 1 million dollars on your graduation party."
