“My heavens! Grandmaster… forgive me, Grandmaster!” A husky sobbing voice yelled out.
That was Benjamin, the man’s butler. He was about fifty years old and he appeared quite professional.
Benjamin rushed to the scene, panting and looking very scared. He wasted no time in gliding to the floor not minding the very expensive gray suit he had on. His masculine scent was flavourful and immediately filled the air.
“Oh! Do you know him?” Seb asked with furrowed brows, just to be sure and security conscious.
“Of course!” Benjamin replied in a cold tone.
He quickly grabbed the elderly man from Sabestian’s grip without sparing Sebastian a single glance or even uttering a word of appreciation to him, I guess he was too overwhelmed and shocked.
“Grandmaster, I just left your sight for a moment…. This is the reason I humbly objected to you visiting Oakland, it doesn’t ever go well.” Benjamin stated, his eyes laced with fear even though he was glad he met the Grandmaster still alive.
Despite indulging the Grandmaster who was still trying to balance his breath, Benjamin noticed the Grandmaster's gaze was stagnant and focused in a different direction. With squinted eyes, he slowly traced the gaze and it landed on Sabestian’s face.
The moment his eyes caught Sabestian, he jerked momentarily, letting out an involuntary gasp.
He looked lost and dumbfounded with his eyes wide open and brimming with shock. Sebastian had sensed their strange countenance and he stared back at the duo with furrowed brows, wondering if he was a ghost like the elderly man stated initially.
He wore a fake smile, trying hard to remain calm and distract himself from the unknown drama that was happening lowkey.
“I have to go now, please put an eye on him.” He stated respectfully, getting up and dusting his pants. But their gaze still trailed alongside his movements, Sebastian had never been in such an awkward situation before and it made him a bit uncomfortable.
“Crazy health care system, huh? I called for the ambulance a while ago and they haven’t arrived.” He scoffed, trying hard to get words from the men, but it was rather abortive as they continued staring in awe.
“Take care, old man…”
As he turned to leave, the old man’s hands trembled as he pointed to Sebastian’s arm, a little above his elbow.
“The… the bulls mark.” He whispered to Benjamin.
Benjamin’s lips quivered tremendously as his voice rang off. “Master Alex?…”
Sebastian halted and turned, shifting his gaze to Benjamin.
“No please, I’m Sebastian… but I get mistaken a lot,” Sebastian replied, still wearing an awkward smile.
Benjamin was trying to get the older man on his feet, but the way he breathed, It was as if he was struggling with the world as his legs wiggled at intervals.
Sebastian felt compassion, there was no way he could leave after seeing Benjamin struggle to support the elderly man. The man weighed a ton, his height and muscles were rather too much for his age, and he looked like those retired wrestling Champions on TV.
“Let me help you,” He stated kindly, gently taking the second hand of the elder over his shoulders as they walked slowly towards the gate of the cathedral.
“Y…Young boy, I would love to host you for the weekend, just to say thank you.” The elderly man managed to say with a shaky voice, still lost in his gaze that was solely fixed on Sebastian.
“Oh! How thoughtful. I’m a student, sir. I can’t wander off campus like that, but thanks for the offer.” He stated respectfully, bowing his head slightly as he humbly declined the offer.
“I insist. You can just call your parents to notify them or maybe your friends in school.” He insisted.
“That won’t be necessary, sir. I grew up in the orphanage and I don’t stay there anymore.” Sebastian replied cheerfully.
The elderly man and Benjamin turned to share suspicious glances after hearing Sebastian was raised in an orphanage. But the tension was cut through by the growling sound of a helicopter’s fan.
Sebastian looked up and saw a black mattified helicopter hovering, and after some time, it landed gently in the open field opposite the entrance, making Sabestian wonder what was going on.
The helicopter’s door opened and two tough-looking men ran out of the chopper in haste, Sabestian instincts told him to run at that point, but for some weird reason, he remained adamant even though he was sound and alert.
As the muscular men drew closer, Sabestian’s heart was caught in his throat. They looked like military personnel but they weren't, they were smartly dressed in black combat and blank tank tops, their muscles very big and veiny, and their heads all bald.
“Grandmaster!” They both fell on one knee and bowed their head slightly to the elderly man.
The elderly man nodded in response to their salutation and they stood up afterward, their hands finely placed behind their back. One could mistake them for some military personnel.
The moment they caught a quick glimpse of Sebastian, they jolted abruptly, fear and anxiety in their eyes. Before Sebastian would even raise a brow, they had both fallen to one knee, refusing to look him in the eyes. Their demeanor was more intense than when they greeted the grandmaster.
“Master Alex! We hail thee.” They chanted, their voices, shaking with fear.
Sebastian was perplexed, he wondered why they all called him Alex and accorded him so much respect. Realization kicked in and he now sensed it was no longer a hallucination as his curiosity spiked.
“I’m sure you must be confused, follow me and be my guest, I have answers to all your questions.” The grandmaster said nicely, the twinkle in his eyes and the hope in his gaze made Seb rethink.
Sebastian swallowed loudly, he knew the man was a big shot and he would love to know why he was being referred to as ‘Alex’ He was caught in the spot and he didn’t even know when he nodded yes.
“Is that a yes?” The old man asked.
Sebastian looked at the man again and uttered loudly, “Yes, sir.”
Sebastian and the elderly man were ushered into the mattified chopper like royalties with a salute. He was awestruck even though he was scared to his bones, but he exhaled deeply and maintained maximum composure regardless.
He sat down quietly in the chopper and watched the city from above even though he had no idea where he was being taken to. He had never dreamt of entering a plane in his entire life and finding himself with strangers in a chopper, was a huge risk he was glad he took.
Thirty-five minutes after they took off, they arrived in a grand villa, Sabestian peeped through the window and beheld the most sophisticated, lush, and grand view he had ever seen his entire life. It was magnificent and magical.
Sebastian was perplexed, he wondered what fate was trying to play with him, he sighed In amazement, shaking his head slightly, and also prayed he didn’t get killed or used as a lab rat.
Sebastian found himself ogling at the highly sophisticated marble street, the street light poles were bronze and the bulb radiated gold, making the whole view surreal. Who uses a marble on the street in their villa? How luxurious!
After they alighted out of the chopper, a mini open-roof van was already parked waiting for them and they were also ushered in immediately, the workers paid keen attention to the elderly man since he wasn’t feeling good. Every staff on sight was properly dressed in a white suit and bowed as if their life depended on it.
As they drove further, they came to a stop when they met a gigantic golden gate, with a robotic security system that scanned through their car. Sabestian’s mouth dropped when the gate spoke ‘access granted’ and opened by itself. He had never seen something of that nature in real life, only in the movies.
After some minutes of driving, they were welcomed by a grand mansion, it looked ancient and the same time urban. The bricks looked like they were carved out from the moon, and the numerous fountains had a hint of sophistication with their very rare designs.
The architect was not a member of Earth because what? Sebastian immediately felt a cold breeze hit his skin and when he scanned through, he realized it was a beach house. No! It was an island, hence the chopper. The elderly man owned the island.
As the van stopped at the entrance of the home, Sebastian was startled when the elderly man held his hands, it felt very warm and welcoming sending shivers down his spine.
The driver alighted and opened the door swiftly with a slight bow, Sebastian couldn’t help but notice the two sophisticated choppers parked at a distance, there wasn’t any car in sight since it was an island. Except for mini luxurious vans like the one that had just dropped them off.
Sebastian was awestruck as he walked through the hallway, right behind the grandmaster who was supported by some staff and Benjamin leading the way. He gawked at the sophisticated interior, all glistening with gold and diamond themes. The hallway was made of glass and one could see their reflection as they walked by.
However, Sebastian halted when his eyes caught two golden frames on the wall, both, the size of a luxurious door. One was the Grandmaster and the other was…..
“What is happening? Is that me on the wall, beside the old man?” His eyes narrowed, confusion brimming in his gaze as he shifted his gaze to the old man.
“Welcome home, son.” The man stated as tears escaped from his lids.

Chapter 102
Sebastian and Benjamin’s hearts fluttered with restlessness, their impatient boiling over the roof, especially Sebastian’s.They had been impatiently waiting for the camera to be planted by Rose which looked like it was taking forever. Sebastian sat in front of the monitor while Benjamin paraded his room also waiting for a positive response.“Why is she taking so much time? It's almost an hour since she left your room!” Sebastian complained bitterly and Benjamin walked toward him, still bowing slightly.“Maybe he is giving her a tough time,” Benjamin said, trying to speak in Favour of Rose.“I told you that man wasn’t sincere, now see. He lied about having food poisoning.” Sebastian complained while Benjamin remained mute. He could tell the young master was paranoid and he didn’t want to make it any difficult for him.While they were talking, the monitor suddenly buzzed and turned on. They exhaled deeply, moving closer to the screen which was still shaking. They guessed Rose was sti
Chapter 101
Benjamin rolled his eyes before he opened the door quickly and Rose came in quickly, after making sure no one saw her of course. He shot the door before glaring at her from head to toe. Anger and disgust brimmed from every corner of his countenance. Her behavior reminded him of his divorced wife, Shirley, who tried having an affair with the grandmaster. With the kindness of the grandmaster’s heart, he informed him about his wife's advances before she was thrown out of the villa after the divorce. Ben hated promiscuous women. However, Rose’s case was a bit understandable.“Are you ready?!” He asked in a stern voice and she nodded yes, although she still vibrated slightly from fear whenever she heard Benjamin’s voice.“Here is a camera. You can plant it in the flower vase facing the bed.” Benjamin said but her nose squinted with concern, she was scared to speak out.“Sir..” She began with a cracked voice. “I don’t think a camera will work.” she continued and Benjamin raised his brow
Chapter 100
Despite the determination that eluded her demeanor, however, she was frightened and confused too. She pondered about the kind of work Benjamin was referring to and it made her heart rate increase profusely.“We need you to get close to Dr Tim and try as much as possible to get information from him,” Sebastian said, seriousness laced in his tone.He was willing to try everything possible to gather information about Dr Tim. He could feel it in his guts that something wasn’t right about the doctor. He couldn’t just place it. And if at all they were guilty like he had speculated that meant their scheme had been properly grafted before they got into the villa. They only used their profession as a camouflage to achieve their aim.Every means he had tried to get a clue had proven abortive. The drugs he had stolen from Tim and sent to the private lab came out clean. Paying the best hacker to gain access to Tim’s phone was still no progress. Sebastian was restless, he wasn't just ready to b

“What did you tell your lover? You told him the herbal doctor is the true don, right?!” Benjamin yelled, his tone stern and non-negotiable, causing fright in the heart of the lady.She forced her lips to remain close, joining them tightly. She was still shaking from the floor. Her eyes were tightly closed and her breathing filled with clogs.The grandmaster felt irritated, if not for the fact that they were trying to conceal the truth about Sebastian, they had no business carrying such a confrontation in his room. Rather, they would have easily disgraced her openly, outside the villa and in the presence of everyone. Not in a sacred place like the grandmaster’s chambers.“Take her away to the other part of my chambers!” He commanded deeply to Benjamin and he obeyed. He still needed to keep his health in check so it was wise they moved away from him. The noise and the wailing from the lady struck his brain hard which resulted in a headache. The lady knew exactly why she was fidgeting
Chapter 098
The grandmaster sensed what Sebastian was trying to do and the balance he was trying to create between himself and Dr. Tim. It was commendable. His grandson had grown with so much wisdom all thanks to whoever brought him up.An unwise man would feel it was just a mere competition between two health practitioners but only a wise man would understand the stunt Sebastian was trying to pull.“Like I said doctor, I am not ready for any kind of medication today. And I do not want y'all insisting. My word is final.” The grandmaster said with the exact tone he used to respond to Tim and a grin of mockery was planted on Tim's face immediately. Targeted at making Sebastian feel embarrassed.“He felt his stupid herbal drugs were an exception. Stupid boy.” He mumbled under his breath. His gaze defeating as he stared at Sebastian who had taken a step back already. Sebastian, Benjamin, and the grandmaster shared a glance. Their minds were intertwined and they played the game with so much poise a
Chapter 097
Sebastian was on his feet, eagerly waiting for Benjamin’s presence. Restlessness was evident in his demeanor as he walked up and down his room, his ears active waiting for any knock.His heart skipped a bit Immediately he heard footsteps approaching his room, he quickly rushed to the door and peeped through the peephole where he saw Benjamin who was about to knock on his door. He quickly Opened the door and Benjamin walked in and shot the door behind him.“What is the development, young master? I was startled immediately after I got your message.” Benjamin said, standing firm with just hands behind his back waiting for the next instruction.“Take a look.” Sebastian gave him his phone for a while and his eyes widened with each second as he went through the message sent by Karan Jose.“Really? They do have private meetings in this villa?” Benjamin asked with furrowed brows. His tone was laced with shock.“I told you I felt something was off with this guy. How do we get to hear their co
Chapter 096
Sebastian stared at his grandmaster, worry laced in his countenance. He wondered what his grandfather meant by the enemy hanging around for ages. Why hasn’t permanent action been taken to ensure they met their Waterloo? Sebastian pondered to himself."My grandson, the enemy knows that our dynasty is equivalent to an unending treasure, their eyes would always be fixed on it.” He said but Sebastian still didn’t assimilate the message.“Grandfather, what do we do to wipe them out, I mean completely?” Sebastian asked, determination etched on his face. A weak smile curved upon the face of the grandmaster. “Wipe them off? As long as you are a great man, enemies will always lurk around you, son. It’s left for you to protect your empire or let them steal all you had labored for.” The grandmaster continued.Sebastian's annoyance became palpable. Although the grandfather was right, but he didn’t just see any reason why anyone would be so greedy to covet properties that he didn’t labor for.
Chapter 095
This wasn’t just any coincidence but of course a well-planned conspiracy. After everyone in the Villa suffered a major food poisoning. The only opportunity they could question was the chef. The orchestrator had gone ahead to take the life of the pawn he used. How cruel?! A sudden surge of energy enveloped Benjamin. His hands molded into a fist while Sebastian clenched his teeth trying hard to still be in character so he didn’t blow his cover.Benjamin’s voice thundered, through the Villa's hallways and corridors. “Everyone!!! Fall out now!!’ His face was etched with anger. A few days the grandmaster fell ill, he couldn’t afford the Villa to fall on his watch. He had been too lenient and it might cost him his life too.While Sebastian and the rest walked behind him, Benjamin summoned all the workers in the main Villa and also security personnel from the main building. The atmosphere was very tense, the air thick with anxiety and curiosity. They all stepped out one after the other
Chapter 094
Benjamin, despite being a bit weak quickened his pace as he reached out for his walking talking in the drawer. His heart was slamming in his chest because of the crazy thing happening that midnight. He needed to call the head of security to be on guard as he headed toward the alarm panel.“Hold on a minute, Benjamin!” Sebastian’s voice thundered, stopping Benjamin. His tone was laced with urgency while Ben halted immediately matching back to where Sebastian was.Sebastian squinted his gaze slightly as his mind reeled. “Before you sound the alarm, you must first change the lock code on the grandmaster's room. We can’t risk anyone snooping in there now.” Sebastian’s narrowed gaze was fixed on the monitor refusing to give Benjamin a single glance.“That’s a wise idea, young master.” Benjamin concurred with Sebastian's opinion.“Be fast and quiet about it, we must not wake him up,” Sebastian instructed.Benjamin nodded in coherence and walked off towards the grandmaster's room that was
