Come the morning Orji have been waiting for to express his vigor and grievances. The combat that will tell the next action of Tigers existence in Umuezi, Orji had agreed with Alilionwu to end the confraternity an apology to the community for the atrocities he had caused if only Alilionwu will defeat him in a crucial fight. Alilionwu has been the only person the community look up-to to stop the bad things that have been going on but dip inside Alilionwu he felt defeated and empty he saw himself as a failure he knew the power Orji possesses he knew he is not the right person to deliver the masses but he has to try. Alilinowu never knew Orji has been thinking immensely on how to defeat him, he saw him as a bridge that seems to give him a nightmare, notwithstanding the potency he has displayed. Orji has this glory that anybody who get contact with him bow to him no matter how strong you may be you must be afraid of him. His mind has enriched with wickedness, he never forgives no matter how you plead, he treats people with so much hatred he only sees his crew as the sensible people.
The birds in the garden have been singing with its wonderful melody blessing the morning with lovely lyrics, dancing perching around the tree branches, there is coo sound they produce that give the household joy meanwhile the tresses praise their God with their ramifications
Alilionwu was seen standing as he stood calmed at the front of his Aurore house, he was lost in a deep pensive roaming in different thoughts which appears to the array of human
as surveillance in the garden, fighting Orji has been his concern he had prayed to
defeat him to end all the issue. Suddenly the past came to him, remembering when it all started, at the football field when
Orji threw the ball at him it pains him so much that he couldn’t let go. He had run to him no that sultry afternoon with immense anger on his face, revenge was his plan but he was ready to let go if seen remorsefulness from him but Orji ego which has led him to whom he
had become today wouldn’t allow him to plead. Adding to that Alilionwu had no choice than to run-punch on
him though both were teenager almost at the same height. The fight wasn’t easy for them,
the incident hasn’t been obliterating as they grow up.
Alilionwu returned back from that memorable moment, the picture made him strong at
the extent of not gonna let go the spirit elevated the muscles in his body blinking, he
swallowed some spit with anger. He turned and walks in returning back holding a sword
after a series of practice, he dressed up and held to a mountain where the combat will
take off. “I told you to join my crew but your stubbornness wouldn’t allow that or do you think you can fight and defeat me? Orji had questioned chucking chewing gum as he marches towards him trying to imposed fear on him. Alilionwu saw those words as insult anger burned and stimulated in his mind his fight readiness kept generating, the
intensity has elevated ready to transfer the exponentiate of anger on him. “My advice is
for you to embrace this opportunity given to you. Fighting me will be the wrong decision
you’ll make but if you insist to fight I will show you what you’ll never forget in a hurry. Orji
blatantly. Alilionwu was silent, anger couldn’t allow him to say a word when he had heard enough of it, he runs to him and the fight began.
Orij was amazed that his childhood foe has grown strong, the fight shows the
reflection of their very first rift and this seems like revenge both were fighting infuriatingly and they’ll strong equally, each
time one gets hit with blow the past came to him. The combat was never easy, both
were strong none were ready to give up until unfortunate visited Alilionwu mistakenly, he fell after hitting his right leg on a pebble, it was
a great advantage for Orji, he grabbed it without wasting much time and kicked him out from mountain Orji was raptured with joy his happiness has no bound he left thinking
Alilionwu was dead, his joy was huge, he marched like he had won a presidential election, no one to compete with him anymore, the last hope has been defeat, luckily for Alilionwu he held his hand on side mountain.
Two years later.
At Uzobest’s beer parlor 10 persons sat drinking different types of drinks.
Orji and his gangs drove into one of the popular pubs in the community, immediately people sighted him and his gangs they started hailing him, once you hail him you empty your pocket and leave the pub immediately.
This happened anywhere Orji gets to which was his rules.
Hello young lady where do you think you’re going to? He asked without giving a glance at her, he watched her through his gaze.
The young girl startled, she was afraid like never before, she had come to enjoy her newly found love. She turned to shake her head she looked jittering, she demonstrated she wasn’t leaving.
Good, you look pretty, what is your name? Orji asked
Faith, She uttered with fear.
What are you still waiting for, he turned to faith boyfriend, before he could utter a word again the guy vanished in thin air.
Orji has been the talk in all Umuezi community, no one dares dream or tries to challenge him only if you have decided to give out a ghost due to his thug lifestyle, burly and he was merciless.
Orji parents died because of his thug lifestyle not only that he was the only child of his parents, his father was a civil servant while his mother was a teacher they had dreamed for him to be a doctor and keep the reputation of the family going, he disobeyed them and choose a wayward life, nothing wasn’t done to restore him back to their plan but fail they sought for different Pastors but the case was worst.
Once Orji was done drinking and eating he paid off, he believed in paying because he knew without paying there would be no drinks nor food another time, well he doesn’t pay with his money but with people’s money, he met in pub or beer parlor.
He left the beer parlor with the girl to his house, the girl was colored and shaped with sadness though she has no option.
A motorcycle was in is front while his 504 was seen at the middle and another motorcycle was at his back that has been Orji driving style like lord of the community as he claimed. Immediately he got home he dragged the girl held her tight and start romanizing her, Faith was crying hopelessly Orji never look at her mood he pulled out her clothes at the passage and had sex with her.
