Retaliation Begins
Liam shook his head, trying to maintain a delicate posture. He turned to walk out, trying to force his toes from beneath Richard's feet.Richard immediately opened the drink, emptying it all on Liam's head."Loser!! I so enjoy humiliating you, boy," he bragged.The students laughed hysterically, but just then Lindy approached Richard with a frown."Can you stop treating him this way? It's pathetic how you make him a subject of jest and mockery." Just as she was about to finish her words, Richard turned to her, pushing her away."Get out of here. This has nothing to do with you," he gloated. "No, don't do that," Liam attempted to stop him, but Richard slapped him, the swish sound of the slap echoed in the cafeteria.There was an abrupt jubilation from the students. Liam didn't need to be told that it was the right time for him to teach Richard a lesson of his life.**********Immediately, the blue rays showed like a shadow before him. He breathed deeper, his arms feeling a surge of energy that made his eyes reddish, the anger burning from within him.He moved his toes with a quick swift, and turned to walk out of the cafeteria. The students jeered again, but then Richard followed on."Wait there, young rat!" His voice deepened. Liam rushed into the school field as a means of calming the provocation that surged within him."I thought you wanted retaliation," Richard bragged. "You son of a bitch, wait there bastard, rat face boy."Liam cleared his throat, rubbing his hands continuously on his eyelids to ease the heat that burnt from within him.Richard picked a stick as he hurried towards Liam, slamming it on his head."How dare you make me walk this long following you? Who the hell do you think you are, you son of a bitch!" His words were rude and piercing, always showing a sense of empty pride.Liam turned instantly, the redness in his eyes deepened! He stretched his arm, jacked Richard, his feet leaving the ground."Let this sound as a warning to you and all those who humiliate and jubilate in molesting the weaker students."Liam threw Richard, he somersaulted several times going in a straight direction, as he screamed in the air, his shorts tore with the force of wind that pushed him further."Help!!" Richard yelled as he went in a straight direction.The sound of his yelling attracted other students who ran to witness the scene, but then Liam kept a calm posture.Richard fell in the middle of the wide football field of 53.33 metres, his shirt and trousers torn, his body filled with bruises from the wind's reaction on his frail skin.He rolled, pleading in pain. "What happened to him?" the other students asked as they couldn't believe that Liam was the cause of Richard yelling.************Liam must have hurt him," one of the guys with a cold demeanor replied."Liam can't hurt a fly," Lindy defended. The other boys who crowded the field were surprised to see Richard laid from nowhere in the middle of the field.They quickly rushed him to the school clinic as he moaned in pain but couldn't explain what must have transpired between him and Liam.Liam turned back, walking gently and coldly back into the cafeteria. Lindy walked towards him again."What really happened out there?" she inquired, raising her brows in awe."Nothing, Lindy. I'm just famished," Liam replied, a cold, piercing gaze showed on his face."How much for a plate of edible potatoes with some oysters and Pearls?" he asked."$5000," the server replied with a welcoming smile on her face, handing Liam the menu.Lindy was taken aback; she couldn't believe that Liam could ask for such a class of meal."I never said I was getting you food, Liam," she said immediately. "I was only asking because I was curious," she stammered.Liam turned to her and smiled, pretending not to hear what she said."Add some chilled fruit drink," his voice sounding like some rich folks.Lindy immediately turned to walk away, but then she paused."I must see the end of this stupidity," she yanked off, folding her hands.A tray of caviar and roasted Maine lobster, two filled plates of Le beouy, and a costly bottle of grapefruit drink were handed to Liam. He turned to Lindy."Hey, Lindy," he called out, but Lindy looked down, her nose showing a haughty expression."I said earlier, I ain't paying for that sort of meal," Liam grinned again, tucked his hands into his pocket, and brought out his debit card."What are you doing?" Lindy laughed hysterically as Liam ran his fingers in the air as though pressing a calculator; the blue shadow light from his amulet was only obvious to him.The server laughed in unison. Immediately $500,000,000 dropped in Liam's account; he handed the debit card to the server."Your total cost is $5000, sir," she exclaimed. Liam nodded without hesitation, his eyes fixed on the server's name tag."Flora," showed conspicuously. She brushed the card on the withdrawal terminal, and the amount showed WITHDRAWAL COMPLETE.Liam reached for his tray of meal, Lindy in shock followed behind.Yet again, the whole students cheered Lindy; they thought she had purchased all of that for Liam.**************Later that day, Liam sits in a lonely facade, a half wall, leaning his head on the hard wall, feeling every bit of the hardness. Talking to himself and feeling his lonesome life, he disliked everything that happened to him, most especially is the controlling nature of the Blue Ray Shadow who tries to take over him, sometimes, trying to react in little change of emotions, his mind hanged on possible ways of having control over it in totality. "I need to have self control over these new powers, mum you never told me this had such powers, I wouldn't have hesitated to use it to bring you back to life"" Why did you have to give it to me and not use it to keep yourself alive for me"?The Shocking MomentThose questions lingered in the air as Liam sobbed continuously, tears running down his cheeks, but just as he pondered on it, he saw his greatest fear walk towards him, it was Lyndy, the girl who never liked and never hated Liam. "Hello" , she waves, her beautiful English accent flowing as she stares at Liam as though she had a pending issue. "What's it Lindy? Liam broke the silence, after he had wiped his eyes severally with the back of his hands, trying to keep a calm gesture.His face looked blank, he tried to spice it up with a short smile."I still can't believe what happened at the cafeteria the other day, Liam, have you always been rich or were you just trying to make me feel like you're wealthy?" The curiosity in Lindy's face showed. Her eyes widened as she stared at him, expecting a reply. Liam smiled again, turning his head to and forth, then turned his face to write on the wall, showing a feeling that made him look like he was shy, "of course I wo
A Piece For His MolesterPhil arrives at the school medical unit, his heart pounding with the urgency of the situation."Hey, can you help me?" His voice is urgent, pleading. A nurse rushes towards him, her eyes wide with concern, while another, sits lazily with hesitation to assist.Several other nurses continue with their busy schedules, but the urgency in Phil's voice cuts through the normalcy of their day.The nurse attending to Phil quickly assesses his injuries, her hands moving swiftly and skillfully as she checks for any signs of serious damage. Phil is pale and shaking, his breath coming in ragged gasps. The nurse's brow furrows in concern as she realizes the extent of his injuries.He was rushed into the emergency unit, but then the school gardener walked in, shocked to see Phil at the medical unit. "I found that guy fighting in the school garden with another student, I wouldn't know if he was being molested but please give him proper medical attention," the gardener tol
The Next ShowdownThe other nurses rushed to assist Phil, who was walking slowly, leaning on the wall at intervals. The name on her name tag decoratively hung from her breast."Vicky, you were in charge of the wounded guy who walked in here earlier. Did you give him the proper medications?" Nurse Gracie asked, turning to look at the earlier nurse who had handled Phil in the emergency room."Gracie, there's nothing I can do for that guy. I only had to give him proper first aid, but he is a scholarship student and, as you know, he'll need to apply for his medication bills from his scholarship source," she yanked off with a quirked eyebrow, turning to Phil with her usual smirk which suggested mockery."Vicky, you should know that he is a patient and wouldn't be lucky, rich, or connected like you and the other students here. So always try to assist, please," Nurse Gracie yelled at the others who treated Phil with contempt, unknown to her of his true personality. She rushed to a drawer, p
Beggars At His FeetLindy caught in immediately. "I think he wasn't fine, Vanguard," she tried to calm Vanguard, but the annoyance in Vanguard boiled even more.Vanguard grabbed Liam's shirt with a firm grip, her fist tightened the more. The women pushed to separate her, but not until she let loose of his shirt. Two buttons fell off."Stop it, girl, can't you pity his condition? Do you have no conscience?" a dark woman asked Vanguard, who was breathing heavily at that moment."Allow her to teach him a lesson," another student added. A smirk showed on her face as she looked at Liam with a fixed stare, running her eyes up and down."I now see the reason why you have all these punches on your face," Lindy responded from where she was sitting. "You can't imagine that everyone is against him except for the little girl right there". Everyone's eyes turned in the direction of the woman's fingers, who turned to point at Lindy, but before it could settle, Lindy was already walking out of the
The magnificent gates of Opulent University loomed before Liam, promising a world different from his ordinary life. As he entered, a deep voice called from the hallway, "Hey, there goes another man, call him for me." Liam turned to see six hefty guys on the pavement. "Come down here, man," the voice ordered, and a huge, fair guy with broad shoulders called out to him."Are you referring to me?" Liam asked playfully, his slim stature a reminder of the turmoil he had faced since his mother's demise."No one questions me that way, boy," the huge guy replied, his tone deep and threatening, causing Liam to step back."Macho, why not give him some welcome punches?" Another guy with scattered hair and a skinny look suggested.Liam, looking fragile and thin, smiled, trying to appear friendly despite the approaching danger."Hi, I'm Liam," he said, extending his hand for a polite handshake."I'm n..." Macho didn't let him finish as a hard slap landed on his cheek."No one talks to Macho that
His Trampling Starts.Liam turned to a slap that landed directly on his cheeks. "How dare you come near my girlfriend," a deep voice roared."No, please, he was wounded and I had to assist him," Lindy scowled at Roberts, her light voice showing her disappointment ."Shut your traps, bitch! You're a cheat. I have warned you severally," the tall guy snarled, his eyes red in anguish. "Look here, young man, I don't tolerate people coming around my babe," he snorted.Lindy couldn't believe what Robson did; she knew him to be so possessive but never to that very extent."I'm sorry, man," Liam said, his eyes clouded with tears as he struggled to blink, cleaning his eyes repeatedly. "Get the fuck out of here," Robert grumbled."Man, always be calm; you can't tell what tomorrow ho..." Liam didn't finish his statement when another slap landed on his face."Liam, can you stop it," Lindy screamed as several other individuals laughed at him with contempt.A tear dropped from Liam's eyes; he couldn
His Greatest FearsSandra, a rude and arrogant girl in her early 20s, happens to be one of the top-class students at Opulent University. She wastes no time but holds Liam by his shirt immediately. "That phone costs $70,000. You've ruined it from your carelessness, so you'll have to pay up right now."Liam startles, not knowing what to do or say. He looks blankly at Sandra; his gaze shows a level of confusion and remorse. The other students cheer Sandra, who is breathing heavily, her eyes burning in provocation."Sandra, please calm down. It was a mistake. Please forgive me," Liam pleads.Even after hearing his apology, nothing changes. Sandra still stands with a sad demeanour, her lips tightened as she pulls Liam to and fro."I dare not want to hear you say it was a mistake. I want you to pay up right now, or you hand me something expensive that you've got in exchange for it," Sandra grumbles."It's too much for me, Sandra," Liam laments. "I would definitely pay up for it in due time.
Liam's AwakeningAs the evening shadows stretched across the cliff, Liam's lifeless form lay still, the pendant around his neck glinting faintly in the fading light. Suddenly, a shimmer of light danced along the necklace, a precious gift from his mother. In a breathtaking moment, Liam's body stirred, as if stirred by an unseen force.A surge of energy pulsed from the pendant, a radiant beacon against the darkening sky. Lightning crackled, striking with precision, illuminating the scene with an eerie glow. Every passerby saw it from a distance and halted, drawn by the spectacle unfolding before them. Liam's fingers twitched, his pulse quickened, and his eyes snapped open.A fiery redness engulfed his irises, shimmering like embers in the night, heralding a transformation that would alter his fate forever.He springs up, the force of wind raising his body. It twirls as it elevates, defying gravity. In some seconds, he lands on the other side of the pathway, the field he had once been
