Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 156 – UNEXPECTED ARREST
Three hours later, Luke was flipping through some papers on his desk when he felt a strange, sudden chill in the atmosphere.His amulet tingled strangely against his chest and his heartbeat accelerated with panic. His head snapped upwards just in time to watch Ryker appear out of thin air, looking spick and span in his expensive clothes as always.Shocked, Luke made to rise from his chair but Ryker raised a hand, indicating he should remain where he was.“Hello, chosen one. We meet again.”“My name is Luke. I’d prefer it if you called me that.”Ryker smirked and sank into the Emory visitor’s chair in front of him.“I’ll call you anything I damn well please, my boy.”Luke was not surprised.“I understand that you’re an elder and whatnot but this is my office, my territory… and you will speak to me with respect.”For the next few seconds, Ryker blinked at him with a stunned expression. The men were locked in a heated stare battle but Luke would rather be castrated before he looked away
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 157 – HIS LORDSHIP IN PRISON
Luke vowed that he wasn’t going to show any inkling of fear before his enemies. Even if panic burned a fiery path in his guts, he refused to back down or show any traces of being intimidated. He had to prove to Adam that he couldn’t intimidate him.“There’s really no need to resist to violence.” He said softly, holding both his hands before him. “I’m not resisting arrest. I know I’m innocent. You can take me in for questioning. I don’t mind.”Luke was mildly satisfied at the tiny evidence of shock that flared in Adam’s eyes. Rule number three in his invisible rule book; always take your enemies by surprise. “Come on, Detective Adam.” He urged, his tone slightly mocking. “Take me into custody, please. I’d love to see the look of embarrassment on your face when my innocence is proven.”Adam’s face reddened with rage. He stepped forward and grabbed Luke’s wrists, roughly clasping the cuffs around them.“Be careful with him!” Mirabel half screamed. “He’s not a criminal. Why are you bein
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 158 – THE INTERROGATION ROOM
Luke and Mcgregor watched Adam saunter off with annoyed expressions on both their faces. Luke rubbed his throbbing shoulder and let out a small groan of pain.“Please accept my most sincere apology for this misunderstanding, your lordship. I’ll be sure to get to the root of this.”Luke shook his head.“Haven't you seen the news? Someone is trying to set me up for a crime I have absolutely no idea of. I didn’t plant those drugs, McGregor.”“I know that, your lordship. Which is why I’m going to work tirelessly to find the person who did. I have already deployed my most qualified men to check out the trucks. The truth will be revealed soon.”“And Adam?” Luke asked, his brows furrowed with annoyance. “What are we going to do about him?”“I have honestly never seen him act this hotheaded.” McGregor admitted. “He’s usually very calm so I don’t think there’s any problem.”Luke wished he could tell McGregor everything that was going on. Of course Adam was a good little boy at work… because n
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 159 – STABBED
The atmosphere literally radiated sparks as Luke struggled to dodge yet another one of Adam’s blows. Adam was working on dark powers. His blows were precise and very well aimed. Luke knew he wouldn’t be able to dodge forever. He was only a few seconds away from actually being stabbed to death.“Die already, you bastard!” Adam sneered. “Just die!!”Luke tried to scramble off the chair but Adam, as usual, was too quick. He wrapped a palm around Luke’s arm and hauled him back against the seat. Luke landed with a thud, a hiss of pain slipping through his lips.“I have you where I want you now, Rydling. There’s no escaping me.”Luke watched as the sharp edge of his blade glinted into the dull light of the interrogation room. His blood turned to ice and his heartbeat accelerated with panic. This was it. This was the moment he died.His enemies had finally won.Adam lifted his hand further into the air and brought it down with violent force and a loud roar. Luke moved away just in time but
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 160 – SURPRISING REVELATIONS
Luke snapped his eyes shut, already prepared for his fate when suddenly, the room went completely silent. The sounds of Adam’s heavy breathing and loud roaring suddenly ceased. The whirring sound of the one lonely fan embedded in the ceiling suddenly disappeared. Luke cracked one of his eyes open to find out what was going on. Two seconds later, both his eyes flew open and his mouth dropped in shock when he saw Adam completely frozen in mid air. “What the hell…”He slowly got off the chair and walked round the frozen man in a small circle, his heart pounding wildly within his chest. Adam’s eyes were wide open and his expression was stiff with anger. The knife he’d planned on using to finish Luke off hung by the tip of his fingers. It was evident that he’d been affected by some sort of voodoo power.Luke was still considering the situation when the sharp sounds of applause pierced the air. Shocked, he turned in the direction of the sound and saw Mason walking out of the shadows wit
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 161 — THE CONFERENCE ROOM
Luke paused for a few seconds, his brain whirling with shock.“How’s that even possible? How come my powers only manifested now?”Mason nodded.“I’ll tell you why. When Malcolm and his army revolted, they were already pre-informed, all of us were informed actually, that a chosen one will be born and he will lead and win the war against the opposition. We were all given a sign — on the night of your birth, a thunderstorm would rage throughout the night and well into half of the next day.Prior to your birth, the ever rainy city of London had experienced a drought for years. Not a drought per se, but it had been ages since we had a proper thunderstorm.I remember the night you were born like it was yesterday. It was a very dangerous time for Rydlings all over the world because the prophecy clearly stated that if a follower of Malcolm succeeded in killing the chosen one at birth, the Rydling clan would automatically be wiped out. Forever.”Luke’s mouth dropped open.“So every single Rydl
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 162 – MORE BAD NEWS
“Sir, the allegations and news reports are getting worse. Most of the stations we paid to keep the drug scam undercover have released more news with the claim that an anonymous source offered them a higher amount. What’s going to happen now? We have absolutely no control over the media at the moment.”Luke refused to let the worry that currently ate at his heart show. It was ten hours since his meeting with the Colton brothers and the entire world seemed to be working against him.He folded his fingers into fists and leaned his head against the cool glass of his floor-to-ceiling windows.“What are they saying now?”He heard Mirabel fumble with her iPad. It was after work hours but she’d volunteered to stay back with him and the PR team to help salvage as much as Luke’s and the company’s reputation as they could.So far, Luke could say that they hadn’t made any real progress.“Well… are you sure you want to listen to this, sir? Most of them are pretty depressing. I don’t think it’s adv
Rise Of The Disrespected Trillionaire Heir 163 — A SHARED CONTRACT
The tension in the room ricocheted dangerously. Luke half rose from his chair, his entire body already vibrating with rage.“Mr. Hillary. The proposition was between both of us. What’s the point of bringing in a third party?”Hillary shot him a dark glare while Danny just sat there with a strange smirk on his face. “Sit down, Luke.” Luke was ready to go further but Hillary’s cold expression stopped him in his tracks and had him sinking into his seat once more.“Just in case I haven’t told you yet, I saw the news concerning your involvement with the whole drug scenario.”Luke tried to cut in but Hillary raised a hand, effectively cutting him off.“I saw the news, Luke. The story is everywhere. Now, my point is that in order to mitigate the damages and the public relations horror from that news, I came up with the idea of sharing the contract between you both. Fifty fifty.I’m sorry, Luke but you’ll have to choose between sharing the contract with Danny and completely stepping away fr
