Legitimate Heir-At-Law 054: ...The Whole World Would Be Blind
"This is an open area. It's not convenient. If we head into a private room, it would be easier for us to talk." Zayn mouthed the last few words silently, mindful of the waiter approaching. The one he was talking to, looked up with her huge dark sunglasses. He almost couldn't hide his disbelief at her mode of dressing. In all the years he had been married to Dahlia, he noticed she preferred knee-length clothes to long, overflowing abaya like most women. For the first time, she was actually wearing a modest black abaya with a burqa. Only her eyes were visible. However, they were also hidden by the huge sunglasses. Who wears sunglasses at night? When he saw the way she held her scarf and looked around cautiously, he realized she probably only dressed that way because she was afraid some paparazzi or reporter might be lurking nearby. He turned around and led the way to his private room skillfully like someone who's been there several times which is in fact true. Dah
Legitimate Heir-At-Law 055: Thinking Of Replacing Him
Faruq walked in with a file. He handed it over to Khalid. "Here is a copy of the statement of accounts from the finance department." "What's wrong with it?" "The system detected that there's been a fraud attempt and apparently this isn't the first time." Khalid was perplexed. A fraud. His brows knitted as he flipped through the pages carefully, reading the contents on it slowly like he was afraid he would miss anything. But he got to the last page and couldn't find anything amiss. The figures looked exactly the same. Then... The migraine came again. He dropped the papers on the table and massaged his aching temple. His eyes closed in pain. "Get a financial analyst to check it out and report back to me as soon as possible," he managed to say. Faruq nodded before asking,"Are you alright sir? Do you need to see the doctor?" Khalid shook his head and brought out some painkillers from a drawer. As he popped the pills into his mouth, he said,"I'll be fine. Did you find o
Legitimate Heir-At-Law 056: ... Complicated As A Puzzle
[Good morning boss. I didn't get to tell you this yesterday but actually, we have two investors. Miss Alina decided to invest.] Zayn's eyes squinted in surprise as he read Salim's message. He headed to the gym in Sultan's villa after jogging around for some kilometers. He had only just finished his workout and was wiping off the sweat on his face when he saw the message. A maid was passing by and noticed the slightly opened door. She peeked and salivated at Zayn's sweaty yet gorgeous figure. His hair was falling forward on his face due to how sweaty he was and this only made him appear more manly. "She actually agreed to invest," Zayn chuckled. This sound frightened the maid that she might get caught so she scurried off instantly. Zayn left the room still reading the message over and over again to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Isn't Alina supposed to be mad at the way he rejected her overtures before it even began? Why did she invest then? Does she have some
Legitimate Heir-At-Law 057: The High Priest Of The Monastery
Professor Tang's face contorted with confusion. He stroked his chin for a minute before looking at Zayn. "I haven't gone into that depth so I do not know the exact name to give that strange psychic power of yours. I'll study the book when I return to the lodge and inform you whatever I find." Zayn nodded. He sat back on the chair and turned to the direction of the students in front of the system. It all started with a single mishap from the system. Who knew a single incidence would lead to the discovery of so many things? A small smirk appeared on his lips. Starting from the day he'd accidentally gained some of the psychic powers of Wang Chi's Principle, he could feel... Had this nagging feeling that his life wasn't going to be so simple anymore.**** At this moment, a strange thing occurred in a monastery located in the southern part of China. The grounds shook violently causing some of the nearby medicinal trees to collapse. The Temple's bell clashed, ringing violentl
Legitimate Heir-At-Law 058: Dangers Of Wang Chi's Principle
[Tell me... What have you found?] Three dots appeared on the phone screen to show that Rashid was typing his own response when a student suddenly called Zayn's name from afar. He looked up and saw that a group of boys and girls were waving at him. It was already closing time at the university. He waved back and turned his attention back to the phone when it vibrated. [Here, is this Omar's first son you asked me to search for?] There was a picture attached to it. Zayn checked it and he almost fell in shock. There was an identical face to Mr Faez in the picture, only that the man looked older. If it wasn't because of the fact that Zayn lived in the Faez's household for three years, he wouldn't be able to recognize the man in the picture. He was looking so aged and wearier than they'd last met. His clothes were all torn and tattered. In short, he looked like a mad man. [Where is this place?] [Somewhere in LA. Do not worry. I have gotten people to take him to a good
Legitimate Heir-At-Law 059: Dangerous Manifestations
Rahman stood up from the bed. The spot he placed his feet on instantly had a dent like a medium-sized meteorite had descended from the sky and landed on that place. Rahman looked down at the hole and frowned. He walked to one of the huge windows in the room. The grounds shook with each step he took. It is very obvious now that this isn't the Rahman we know. Who is this? Why does he look so powerful and evil? What has he done to the previous Rahman, the original owner of the body? What are his true intentions? He got to the window and let out a small opening. As soon as his palm shot out again, a dark cloud formed outside creating a hurricane. It was a harmless one. Rahman watched it. When he got bored of how harmless the hurricane looked, he made it envelope into a bigger one and released it into the city to cause havoc. He actually has the powers to create hurricanes? Who exactly is he? Stroking his chin, he looked out and said,"Which world is this?" He scanned thro
Legitimate Heir-At-Law 060: Doctor Figures
Zayn noticed the spurious smile on Faruq's face when he nodded to Shaquille's request like he was okay with it. As he led Zayn to the departments, it left the latter wondering why he accepted to show him around when he was clearly not so happy with it. "This is the finance department. The production department. The..." Faruq went on and on, leading him to so many departments that he lost count. At last, he was led to an office. It is decorated to one's taste and unlike Khalid's darker colors, this one had beautiful colors of purple. As Zayn sat down, Faruq wondered what next he was supposed to do. He was the one that directed the research himself when Khalid instructed him to find out what Zayn learnt abroad. He knows clearly more than anyone else that the second young master has literally no knowledge in business. So what was the chairman thinking, bringing a quack to the company?! While he was thinking of this, Zayn spoke,"The paperwork." "Huh?" He snapped out of
Legitimate Heir-At-Law 061: His Natural Right
However, despite what they thought, Rahman simply walked forward to the one that had asked the question. Everyone sucked in a deep breath as they waited for the man's head to roll on the floor. "Haha!" They looked up when Rahman suddenly laughed. Everyone was stunned. While they were doing this, they didn't know that the one standing in front of them was searching through the memories of the previous owner of the body to find out why he hated this unknown Lord Z. "When he took the business world by storm years back, he caused so many businesses to dwindle including my father's. That led to my dad's unexpected illness that eventually killed him and left me orphaned." A hush fell upon the room. Everyone looked at each other. They didn't know this was the reason. They thought like others, he only wanted to capture Lord Z to make him a business slave. "Now tell me, why should I let such a brutal man live?" Rahman yelled. "When I capture him, I am going to sell him to be
