Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 86: A Second Talk With Dorothy (1)
The phone rang several times before someone picked it up. "Who's this?"Johnny didn't really expect Dorothy to actually pick up the phone. Why wasn't she more on guard? Didn't her phone tell her it was from an unknown number? Well, it didn't really matter. He couldn't use the excuse that Dorothy didn't answer to deter Katherine. Now that Dorothy was on the phone, he handed it over to Katherine, who took the phone from him.As she placed it against her ear, she said, "Dorothy, it's me."Since he was so close, he could hear Dorothy say, "Katherine, why are you calling me from an unknown number? Did something happen? Do you need help?""No, I just borrowed this phone so I could talk to you," Katherine said."Okay?" Dorothy said uncertainly before asking, "What do you want to talk about?""I wanted to talk about Johnny becoming the Burns family head," Katherine said.As soon as his name was mentioned, Johnny choked on his spit. Several thoughts crossed his mind. The most prominent was whe
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 87: A Second Talk With Dorothy (2)
Unable to help himself, Johnny blurted out, "You're not going to drop that?""Wouldn't it be better this way? If you become the head of the family, you wouldn't have to worry about the family trying to hunt you down anymore. You'll also have a lot of power and influence," Katherine pointed out.Johnny sighed as he combed a hand through his hair. "You're not wrong, but I think you're all ignoring how dangerous it is. It's not like we can go in guns ablazing. We don't even have that kind of firepower to begin with."When he didn't get a reply, he focused his attention on Katherine, who was still holding the phone to her ear. He honestly couldn't tell what she was thinking based on her expression. Had he finally got through to her with his words? It would be a huge relief if he did. Johnny vaguely wondered what Dorothy thought about the whole situation. IT must be weird not being able to be physically part of the connection.That's when Dorothy dropped a bombshell. "Actually, we kind of
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 88: To Be the Head or Not
Johnny shook his head. No, that couldn't be it. While it was true dungeons could form out of nowhere and unleash a bunch of monsters, they typically didn't appear anywhere near where the top families lived. He didn't know the reason, but for some reason they just didn't show up near them. That's what made people want to live near them too.Even if a dungeon did form, he couldn't imagine the Burns family being unable to handle it on their own. They weren't one of the top families for nothing. If they could be easily taken out because of one dungeon, what about everyone else? How could anyone have any hope of tackling it themselves? Dorothy was right. It really was a ridiculous idea."Brother, what do you think about what Dorothy said?" Katherine asked."I think we're going to have a serious talk about why you're talking about dangerous things over the phone," Frank said."But," she started."Johnny, I'm going to have a quick chat with my sister. Can
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 89: Confronting the Burns Family
Even though Johnny had said he wasn't going to let the matter go, wasn't it a bit much to storm the Burns family's home just days after his decision? He thought it would take a couple weeks to prepare. They couldn't take down such a powerful family in just a few days. What was everyone thinking? He wondered if they all had lost their minds."Johnny, is something the matter?" Frank asked as the car headed for their intended destination. "You don't look good.""I just can't believe we're moving in now," Johnny said."You have nothing to worry about. Everything has already been sorted out," FRank said."Are you really sure we're good to go?" Johnny asked."You have nothing to worry about. The plan was already in motion before you decided to throw your hat in the ring. It's been modified to include your involvement," Frank said.Frank might have said it to reassure Johnny, but it didn't in the slightest. Johnny had been at the meeting discussing
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 90: Meeting the Family
While Johnny didn't like the idea, he didn't have much of a choice. Sticking around wasn't going to do anything except waste time and put himself in possible danger. With no one else with him, he had no one he could rely on if he was suddenly attacked by a bunch of monsters, which was a serious risk. He didn't want to take that risk."Where do we meet up?" Johnny asked."We'll try to continue with the plan and head for the head of the family's office," Frank said.Just as Johnny was about to protest that idea, he heard a loud animalistic roar. He frantically checked his surroundings and didn't see anything. Before he could feel relieved, he heard screams and shouts on the other side. He placed his hands on the rubble, hoping to at least find a small opening to get a better look at what was happening."Frank? What's going on? Are you okay?" Johnny asked frantically.There was no response except more shouting and fighting. He was completely in the da
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 91: Unexpected Turn of Events
Johnny ignored his father, as he was just relieved that his healing power and fire power helped him survive his father's attack. His fire power apparently gave him some resistance to fire, and his healing power healed whatever managed to get past his fire resistance. He took advantage of his father's shock to lunge at the man and return the favor.He landed several punches before his father recovered from his shock and shielded against the punches. Johnny didn't let up and continued to barrage his father with punches, hoping to get past his defenses and continue his original onslaught. After some time, his father apparently had enough and roared as he unleased a wave of flames. With a grunt, Johnny was forced back, though he was unharmed.His father glared venomously at him as he snarled, "That's enough. I'm going to end this."With a bravo that he didn't completely feel, Johnny said, "Just try it. You're just going to fail again."As his father was about

As Johnny stared at his mother, wondering why he felt uneasy about the whole thing, it finally clicked. "You're not my mother.""What are you talking about? Of course I'm your mother," she said.Johnny shook his head as he took on a relaxed stance. "No, you're not. I don't know why you're pretending to be here, but you should just give up now. It's not going to help you in the long run."The woman also dropped her stance and shrugged her shoulders as she said, "Well, this is unexpected. How did you know?"Rather than admit that it was just his gut instinct, he said, "I have no reason to tell you.""I suppose I should have figured you would say that," she said calmly.She was far too calm for his liking. He knew nothing about it here other than she was a fake, which didn't mean much in the end. It wasn't like he would have gone easier even if she was his mom. However, it did explain why she killed his father without batting an eye, but it begged the question of where his real mother wa
Rise of the Commoner: Johnny Burns's The Lost Heir Chapter 93: Aftermath
Johnny's eyes snapped open as he sat up abruptly. His mind was moving at several miles per hour as he scanned his surroundings. He had to stop her before she got away. However, the monster was nowhere in sight. He wasn't sure how long he had been out cold, but he supposed it was a bit much to expect the monster to linger just because he told her to stop.More importantly, he was no longer in that place considering the lack of lava. Taking a good look at his surroundings, he deduced that he was back in his own world, which set him on edge. How did he get back? As he wondered who or what had brought him back, the door to the room swung open. He stared at the sight of Frank leading the backs of doctors and unknown men."Johnny, you're awake," Frank said as he rushed over to check on him.A tad bit uncomfortable with how Frank was acting, Johnny asked, "Frank, what happened?"Frank grimaced. "It's a bit of a long story. First, we should make sure you're okay."As soon as he said that, Fra
