"Yes sir. Louis. It's more like a league of companies. 

The companies in this region and the rest of the world have always sought to be more organized.

However organization would never come without some sort of leadership. For this reason, a complex competition of companies was organized, to pick out the most powerful company and deserving too.

That would not only be feared by the rest of the companies but also be treated with respect.

And nobody could think of a way of coming up with something apart from this!" Queen explained while her head remained bowed all through.

"I and Mayor Sam have always been working towards this project and he has always been keen with anticipation!" Queen noted politely.

Louis's head was forced into a nod multiple times. The sense in them was beyond anything that could be explained.

The idea didn't sound too off to him. And if the mayor was so keen into getting into this, it could only mean that there was more to these that was being revealed to the majority of the people that would be participating in this company.

And taking note of the “why” in his life, It had always been sort of boring. Maybe this was the point where he could finally have some fun.

"Then we are in!" Louis said..

Queen was beyond excited. She nodded her head multiple times, appreciating him with smiles written all over her face.

She was about to leave with the excitement that was still brooding deep within her when suddenly she pushed and made a turn to Louis.

"And also! Here you go sir Louis. This is what you requested!" Queen handed over a document to him.

It was the file about the Hart family that he had requested for earlier. Seeing it right in his hand at the moment forced Louis's heart to fluster immediately.

For a while, he hesitated and the pounding of his heart resounded through the room.

During the extent of the investigation, Queen had found more about the young master. Things that went right through her heart like deep stabs.

And if there was anything that she had learned after those long hours of learning about him, it was the fact that he needed to be alone at the moment.

"I would have to leave the young master. I will return as soon as possible!" The words that she spoke were almost below a whisper.

And a silent nod was all the response that she got from Louis who was still staring right into the piece that was in his hands.

With the silent air that roamed the room, he took a deep breath, memories running right through his head.

He hesitated once again and drew the deepest breath in the whole of his history. After which he made the decision.

"I have to do this!" He muttered firm words, forcing the confidence to course right through his vines.

And with these words, Louis tore the documents open.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the City, the duo of Lord Kelly and Lady Annabelle had barely gotten home when she posed an offensive font in the form of a frown towards him.

Throughout the journey, the memories of what went down at the hospital came piercing right through her heart like a stab.

The heat that ran through her body. That look of triumph that laced the face of Louis that made her pray that the earth would swallow her whole, As a means of escaping the embarrassment that came rushing off through her body like a budget of ice cold water.

Drawing a really deep breath, Lord Kelly remained confused as she said no further words, only staring offensively into his eyes in the most uncomfortable manner.

"Is there a problem?" Lord Kelly was finally forced to inquire.

"Is there a problem? Is this the part where he pretends that nothing happened? After everything that we both know went down at the hospital today?" She scowled her eyes almost turning red hot with fury 

Lord Kelly who had been trying to forget that the incident ever happened had a feat of anger running through his vines.

His attempts to control his rage through his clenched hands were all futile.

The personal assistant to the head of the company had called him earlier, to pull off from the car that Annabelle was trying to drag.

And he didn't care to argue. Apart from the fact that he owed a debt to these people that he would not be able to pay, even with three of their lives, they also had the power to pull him back into the mud.

It would only be best for him to avoid the case. But Annabelle remained insistant.

Wasn't she supposed to understand that this was way beyond him? Besides he had never questioned her in anything before. Why couldn't she just let this slide.

Maybe it was because he was becoming too soft on her and she was seeming to forget who he actually was.

Letting out an angry roar, Lord Kelly's face flashed with fury unlike anything that Annabelle had seen before, immediately sending falling back in her steps.

"If you know what's best for us, you're going to leave that case just as I have instructed earlier and never bring it up again!" He ended walking away.

Annabelle stood petrified, her eyes bulging off from her sockets. For a while she could not get herself together until a shake forced life back to her.

"Mom! We aren't going to allow him to go scout free right?" Sheldon said.

"Certainly not son. Not after the sort of embarrassment that we were made to go through back then.

If Kelly has decided that he is not going to help, then I would have to take matters into my own hands!" She brought out her cell phone from her pockets, placing a call at the instant.

"Don! I need to see you right this instant. If our love means anything to you, you would treat this matter with urgency."

I'm too rich to go to jail,” Chris struggled, letting out a devastated cry “Please somebody stop them,” he begged, but it was too late to ask for sympathy.“It can't end this way, please. I'll die the first second I get to jail. They'll kill me. Do you know the number of people waiting for me there,” Chris continued, screaming his lungs out.The people laughed as Chris was escorted to the police.

    Everyone's attention shifted to the center of the hall. They gaped around as their heart panicked Who was going to be eliminated next? Who was going to win the game? Worst, what would happen to those who stood the test of time till the finals of the competition? Were they going to be compensated or left with nothing while they celebrated the victor? These questions were audible in their head. They couldn't find an answer as to what was going to happen next. “It's time for the results,” Chris shouted, acting like he had gone crazy. “If you stupid panel members have any ounce of respect left for me, you'd make it right and call me the winner,” He brushed past everyone and stood at the center of the hall, beating his chest with force “I made this game what it is today, very competitive. I deserve some credits for lasting long in this competition,”In a feat of rage, he forcefully grabbed a member of his secret league by the collar and dragged him to the center.“Look at all these peo

    “It's all Raul's fault. I was afraid to tell you but I have gathered up courage to tell you the truth,” Jessica continued.She got very close to him and placed her left hand on his shoulder with a seductive eye staring right at him.“You know how I used to make you happy, how I made you feel like a man and brave enough to strive for success,” She placed her finger on her lips and winked at him “I can do that again. I can make you happy again. Let's both forget about what Raul destroyed and make peace again,”Louis gave her cold look, threatening her to remove her hand from his shoulder but she latched on like a seat back on an airplane.“Get your filthy hands off me before I do it myself and trust me, you are not going to like it,” Louis threatened.“Come on Louis,” She said, placing her right hand on his other shoulder like she wanted to embrace him. “Try to understand me, Raul is our enemy and we must join hands to eliminate….”A muscular guard picked up Jessica from her waist away

    “Low Props, Master,” Queen uttered, knowing Louis was lost in his thoughts.“What's happening to it?” Louis asked, a tad bit disinterested on the topic.“Hello,” she waved her hands. “You just revealed you are the CEO of Twin Tower company, of course Low Props' hotline is going to be buzzing with calls,” she said.Louis nodded and raised a brow at her statement. “What's that got to do with me?” He asked.Queen exhaled loudly, trying to hold back her surprised expression “You told me you'd want to go to Low Props after your reveal,” She said, her tone loud and assertive.“Oh… that. Well, there's a change of plans. I got something better to do,” Louis stated, looking at his watch “The college will send a notification anytime soon and I'd like to be present,”Queen ruffled her hair and adjusted her skirt while looking down at her feet “How do you know that? I don't think it will be safe enough to go there at this moment,” she raised her head and pointed to a replay of Louis' reveal ”The

    “Hello sir, twelve branches of your company have been shut down globally,” his secretary reported through a phone call. She was too scared to meet with her boss physically.Chris, with a heavy sigh, ended the call in depression. He decided to stay at home and wail in his sudden downfall. Most of the few remaining members of the secret league had quit their membership in the league, all in the aim of cutting off any relationship with Chris.The fake leader he had hired to act as the leader of the secret league was nowhere to be seen. He was just a few hours from hitting rock bottom while his name was being trash talked throughout the globe. “At this point I might as well give up the ghost, coz I have nothing left to fight for,” Chris wept silently. He stayed in his house for hours doing nothing but cry and stare into the abyss of emptiness.At the strike of twelve, his phone beeped with the notification of a Livestream from the world's biggest news channel.

    “You tricked me, you bastard,” Chris yelled, punching his table in anger.“No, I outsmarted you,” Louis continued laughing, unfazed by the tremor in Chris' voice “What were you thinking I was going to do? Sit by and watch you drown me in problems,” he said in a sarcastic tone.“You worthless fool, better watch your back because I promise, you will pay for this,” Chris replied.Louis put his phone on loudspeaker and placed it on top of his table. He then proceeded to cross his arms and snicker at the weak threat Chris made towards him.“I wonder if you have paid for the crimes you have committed,” Louis calmly said “You know, the ones you do behind the scenes and pay people to cover it up,”Chris gnashed his teeth and looked at his watch. With a gruff and rushed voice, he yelled “What do you mean by that? Do you have any evidence against me, you stupid fool?” “Chill, chill. I got time for you okay.” Louis said in a scornful voice. He ruffled his hair and exhaled lightly “The bribes yo
