Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 253
“Clarine! What… what are you talking about?!” When Brenda heard her Clarine actually use her as collateral for a million dollars worth of chips, her eyes widened, and she looked at Clarine in disbelief.Standing beside Brenda, Ava also widened her eyes in shock and exclaimed in astonishment, “Clarine, Brenda is your friend! How can you put her up as collateral and use her as a gambling stake?”Derek’s face, hidden beneath the mask, had become completely gloomy and sullen. He glared at Clarine coldly. “Are you sure you’re going to put your friend up as collateral to me? If I win, she will be mine. I will take her away, and regardless of what happens to her in the future, you will have no right to ask any questions!“In that case, do you still agree to use her as collateral?”Derek’s voice was extremely cold, and it even contained some murderous intent that he was unable to hide!“Clarine, stop… stop gambling. Come home with me, okay?” Brenda asked while looking at Clarine with tears an
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 254
Derek’s voice was extraordinarily cold, especially when he glanced at Clarine. This lady really lost Brenda to a man. she really deserves to die!Unfortunately, at this moment, Clarine’s eyes were out of focus, and she had a deadpan expression as she stood rooted to the ground, as if she was out of his element and dispirited. To her, it seemed as though she was a failure and had betrayed her best friend. And if it meant giving her life just to get her back, she was ready to do that.She didn’t catch Derek’s murderous gaze at all, nor did she respond to Derek’s act of holding Brenda by her waist.Suddenly, Ava violently pushed away Derek’s arm, stood in front of Brenda, and yelled at him, “Let go of her!”Derek looked at her and narrowed his eyes. “Shut up. This matter is none of your business. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being nasty right here..”Ava could feel the intense words emanating from Derek's tone. It got her shivering on the spot, hence she said in a soft tone. "What wou

"Let them go? Are they yours? Do they belong to you?" Derek sneered with disgust in his tone."It was a deal, I won the deal and both of them are my price, so therefore, none of this concerns you in any way." Derek added with a deep domineering tone.When Ava saw that someone had stopped Derek, she immediately started struggling and hollered, “He didn’t win me at the poker table. He’s trying to take me away forcefully!”Tony looked at Ava’s pretty face, and he immediately seemed amazed by her beauty. “Don’t worry, pretty lady. I’m the owner of this place, I’ll never let anyone take someone away by force!”"Ladies are handled with care and not the other way round."Then he narrowed his eyes and glared at Derek with a threatening gaze. “Did you hear that? You didn’t win this beautiful babe. Hurry up and let her go.”Derek frowned. He took Ava off his shoulder and put her down on the ground.He never had any intention of doing anything to Ava in the first place. But because Ava kept pull

Having operated a casino for over several years,Tony was naturally confident and not the least bit afraid of gambling with Derek.He was extremely confident about winning against Derek.“Of course, if you agree to bet, you must accept to lose. Mr. Tony, if you lose in a shortwhile, I hope you will keep your promise,” Derek said indifferently.Tony slicked his greased hair again and said with utmost confidence, “Punk, you’re mad! Tell me, how do you want to play? You really think I'll lose to you? Then keep dreaming."“We’ll play a simple game where the person with the highest card wins. We can also play dice or poker. How does that sound?”“Of course. How do we decide the winner?”“When one side admits defeat. How about that?” Derek narrowed his eyes.The people around were suddenly in an uproar again.There would usually be a standard set point in such gambling games, such as the number of rounds, number of wins by one party, or when one party lost everything.A rule where the game w

After hearing what Derek said, Tony snorted in disdain. “You are so stubborn, and not giving up huh?! What are you still daydreaming about? Unless I get a three, you will lose. But you should be well aware of how slim the chances of that happening are.”“That’s hard to say. Maybe your luck is just worse than mine?” Derek continued in an indifferent tone.“Fine. I’ll make you give up completely!”Then Tony pinched the card in front of him, flipped it over, and slammed it down hard onto the table!Three bright red hearts appeared in front of everyone immediately!"its a three! It's really a three!"It was really a three of hearts!Everyone in the large private room was instantly silent!In particular, Tony’s subordinates all shuddered and hung their heads low, not daring to look at Tony’s expression at all.At this moment, Tony’s face was extremely sullen and ominous.He had just mocked Derek and said that Derek was daydreaming, but he never expected that he would lose despite the slim c

Both Derek and Tony were standing by the card table, each holding a dice cup and a dice.“Since you also choose to shake it yourself, how about we have the dealer be the judge of this game? We’ll start shaking, stop, and then open the cup at the same time. How does that sound?” Tony said confidently as he tossed away the dice in his hand.“No problem.” Derek nodded.The dealer took a deep breath, stood between the two of them, and then swung her hand down. “One, two, three, begin!”Derek and Tony simultaneously threw their dice into their dice cup and then started shaking.Amid the sounds of dice rapidly knocking against the walls of the dice cups, everyone held their breath and listened carefully to the movement.Everyone in the room except for the two beautiful women, Brenda and Ava, and Derek were subordinates of Tony.Listening to the sound to determine the number of points on a dice was an extremely important thing to do when it came to dice shaking, so they naturally dared not m

“Ah!”Tony’s sudden outrage and accusation of Derek cheating really caught Brenda and Ava off guard, and they shrieked.But Derek wasn’t surprised.He had long seen that people like Tony were the kind of people who couldn’t afford to lose.It was his turf in the first place, and he was accompanied by a lot of his henchmen and subordinates. Even if he refused to comply and admit defeat, no one would dare to say anything.Unfortunately, Derek wasn’t the type to be frightened by a tiny pistol.“Heh.” Derek suddenly chuckled when he thought of something.This was one of the few times a gun had been pointed at him in the short period of time since he returned to Dominican.Now, in front of him, Tony also dared to aim a gun at him.“Hmph, you can still laugh out loud even when being held at gunpoint. I have to admit that I really admire your courage.”Tony held the pistol and pointed it at Derek’s head with a triumphant expression, as if he was already confident of winning. He was relishing

W-what’s going on?The ten-odd bodyguards who barged in glared at Derek like he was a great enemy.On the ground, Perry gritted his teeth resentfully as he struggled to raise his head to look at the bodyguards and ordered, “Kill… kill him!”The punch Derek threw at his abdomen left Perry in so much pain that he was on the verge of throwing up all the food he had eaten for the past few days. The slightest movement made him feel intense pain in his stomach.For the past few decades of his life, Perry had never been beaten up like this or suffered such a huge loss before!If Derek could still leave Perry ’s turf under the siege of so many bodyguards, Perry would be thoroughly embarrassed!The ten-odd bodyguards and Perry ’s personal bodyguard acknowledged and immediately surrounded Derek.Derek smiled coldly and raised his leg to kick the bald bodyguard who rushed in front of him, sending him flying!“Ah!” The bald bodyguard let out a miserable cry as his body was propelled upward be

“No!” Perry refused resolutely. “This isn’t a small business. We’ve monopolised it in Dominican! If I recommend some clients to you, won’t I be giving my family a competitor for no reason?”Derek shook his head. “I naturally won’t run this business in Dominican and become your competitor.”After giving it some thought, Perry still didn’t believe Derek. “Your roots are all in Dominican. Why should I believe that you would leave this place and go elsewhere to run this business.”Derek shrugged. “It’s up to you to believe me or not. Mr. Perry, please get your facts right. I’m doing you a favour by asking you to recommend clients to me. To put it bluntly, the Bathhouse is in my hands now, and so are those beautiful women. Even if I take over the business directly now, what can you do for me?”Derek's words made Perry’s face turn gloomy again.But this was really what the current situation was like. Since that bastard manager had presumptuously sold the Bathhouse, Derek was the dominant p

Perry’s face was naturally extremely gloomy at this point.Derek was clearly trying to intimidate him!It was just an ordinary dice, but the power that emerged from Derek’s hand when he threw it was not inferior to the power contained in a bullet shot from a gun!Besides, the dice Derek shot had landed near Perry’s head. If Derek had intended to kill Perry, he would have probably been shot in the head by now!At the thought of this, Perry felt his entire body’s hair stand on end, and cold sweat rapidly seeped out of his pores, making him chilly all over.And Perry’s elite bodyguard was also overwhelmed with shock.As a bodyguard, he should protect his employer’s safety in any emergency situation.But the speed of the dice Derek shot out just now was so quick that it wasn’t visible to the naked eye. In fact, he only figured out what happened after hearing the terse and sharp sound of the dice shuttling through the air, followed by the loud bang.He couldn’t even react in time, let alon

When Perry saw how bold and fearless Derek was, his facial muscles twitched a little as he gritted his teeth with great resentment and viciousness in his eyes.With a hypocritical grin, he said, “Hehe, why would I do that? Since I invited you here, I naturally have something to discuss with you.”He thought he had hidden his intentions well. But being a sharp and shrewd person, Derek had long seen through Perry.“Mr. Perry, don’t beat around the bush with me. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Derek couldn’t be bothered to exchange hypocritical pleasantries with him. He simply leaned against the couch and got straight to the point.Seeing Derek taking the lead in the conversation, Perry was displeased, and his face immediately turned dark.He waved his hand, and the few scantily clad beauties sitting beside him immediately walked out of the room.Soon, only Derek, Perry, and a burly man who followed Perry wherever he went were the only ones left in the large private room.Dere

Derek frowned.He didn’t expect Aiden to die despite being in police custody.But there were definitely potential loopholes everywhere. If it was really the doing of the force that Derek guessed, the police would likely be defenceless and unable to guard against their actions.But Aiden’s death was not in vain. At the very least, Derek was now certain that the mastermind who instigated Aiden was more likely than not same person who sent the photographer.Otherwise, Aiden wouldn’t have died so easily.“Okay, I know.”Derek was about to hang up the phone when he noticed in the rearview mirror that there were several inconspicuous cars tailing his car. Their intentions were unclear, but he knew that they had to be up to no good.He frowned. They’re really everywhere. How annoying!He wondered who sent these people to tail him.With a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, Derek hung up the phone and quickly made another call. “Come to Clarine's apartment, I will send you an address.”Der

Derek couldn't tell who it was yet, but he knew he would find out.With a sharp and cold gaze in his eyes, Derek raised his head and looked distantly in the direction of the DC. “Hmph, I don’t care who you really are. As long as you dare to reach your hand here, I don’t mind chopping it off!”When Derek reached the amusement park entrance, he saw Clarine waiting here for him worriedly.“Derek, did you get what you went for? Did you find everything?” she asked curiously.Derek raised his arm with two paper bags and said with a faint smile, “I got them. Fortunately, there was no queue.Clarine grinned and teased, “It turns out you really are caring.”Derek smiled. He merely nodded and said, “Yeah, so you have to be like me as well. In the meantime, it's getting late, let's go home.”Clarine nodded happily. Soon, the two of them got into Lucas’s car and sped off.…At this moment, in a luxurious villa in Dominican.A young man in his twenties was reclining on a soft leather sofa with a s

Derek was still trying to figure out who it was, but then he scurried away quickly. But after covering only a short distance, he discovered that a tall and phantom-like figure had appeared in front of him to block him from leaving.“Still trying to run, huh?”The young man was flabbergasted because the person in front of him was the same person he had been secretly snapping photos of!A few seconds ago, this person was clearly more than meters behind him, yet he was standing in front of him in the blink of an eye. How did he do it?!Having been discovered and even stopped by the person he was secretly snapping photos of, the young man got a little nervous and gritted his teeth. He then barked in a menacing voice, “Why are you stopping me? Get lost!”Derek sneered and pointed at the camera the young man was holding. He asked indifferently, “You’ve been tailing me all afternoon, so you must have taken a lot of pictures, right? Did you think no one could discover you when you’re so clums

In fact, Derek could have chosen not to catch Aiden and let him fall to his death just now, as he ought to reap what he sowed.But the words Aiden said earlier made Derek suspect that someone was instigating him. So Derek caught him and allowed him to stay alive to interrogate him and find out more from him.But the matter of Aiden taking Clarinet hostage and trying to jump off the building with her had alarmed almost all the police systems in the city. Many reporters had also hurried over with their cameras and equipment to get the first hand news scoop.In such a situation, Derek naturally couldn’t interrogate Aiden personally. He simply handed Aiden over to the special police officers for them to investigate.The chief special police officer nodded and instructed his subordinates to send Aiden to the hospital. After Aiden came to, they would bring him in for interrogation immediately.Of course, as the parties involved in the incident, Derek and Clarine had to make a mandatory trip

CHAPTER 285
Clarine watched as Derek vanished from the edge of the roof and screamed at the top of her lungs uncontrollably, “Derek!”Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she started bawling loudly, feeling as if her heart was being stabbed by daggers.In contrast, Aiden laughed out loud in great excitement. “Hahaha! What a dimwit. I managed to kill him so easily! I’m going to get rich again soon. Hahaha!”The police on the rooftop of the building couldn’t stop Derek in time and could only watch as he jumped off the building. They all shouted in horror and regret.At the same time, the crowd of onlookers on the ground also shrieked loudly in amazement.When Aiden heard the commotion at the bottom of the building, he guffawed hysterically with great smugness. Then he grabbed Clarine by the collar and looked at the ground to admire the scene of Derek’s badly mangled flesh after he fell off the building.Suddenly, there was a major change!A pair of hands suddenly reached over from the
