Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 174: Backup team arrives
Bullets bounced off the walls of the control room, breaking the glass panels and spreading the pieces everywhere. The Kim's henchmen were also doing a great job at securing the most important equipment that kept the technical arrangement working and ensured the guests did not get a hint of what was going on.Jake, who was a skilled fighter himself, moved smoothly, avoiding bullets, and delivering powerful punches to them. With every punch and kick, many of them decided to keep surrounding him so they could quickly take him down as he seemed like their source of power.But being the beast he was, Jake took down all of them as soon as they came for him. Meanwhile, outside the control room, the backup team from Felix arrived. Their footsteps echoed loudly as they stomped in. They quickly evaluated the situation, noticing that Jericho's men were decreasing in number, and that they subdued them now.When the backup team entered the room, it brought hope to Kim's henchmen who were still
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 175: Keeping the legacy
After a long while, the ceremony drew to a close, with a few people dispersing back to their various homes, while the rest staying over for the night in the rooms.Amongst these people, Felix also walked out of the place into a secluded hallway, coming across his father on the way. That was the hallway leading to the private rooms, where they would be spending the night. Kimber Kim spotted Felix and walked up to him, his face brightened up with smiles. "Hey dad," he called, striding up to him."Finally, son, finally. You're now the owner of the conglomerate, Kim's Empire." He said.Felix smiled back at him, his eyes glassy with affection. He could see it in his father's eyes how proud he was of him, and he was determined not to let him down."Felix, from today, all the power and wealth I've established will be passed on to you. You're now going to be the most feared in the world. The one and only Quadrillionaire. Felix, I wish you success as you carry on my legacy."Felix nodded. "Of
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 176: How to tell him?
Back at the duplex, Jen watched the TV, her eyes glued to the screen as she watched the breaking news unfold. Her expression shifted from surprise to bewildered as the shocking revelation hit her like a ton of bricks. The man she had been living with all this time, was none other than the owner of Kim's Empire, the largest conglomerate in existence?!"What the fuck?!" she exclaimed, unable to contain her disbelief. Her mind was flooded with countless questions, and she struggled to make sense of it all. How could she have been so blind to see his true identity?As the news report continued, a lot of thoughts raced through Jen's mind. But why didn't they tell her though? Because it appeared that Elsa also probably knew about it, or didn't she?Wow, this was a mind blowing revelation. She had been so casually living and chatting, and even causing troubles for such a figure. Jen's thoughts drifted to the ease with which she had employed Kingsley Quince as her lawyer.It all seemed too
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 177: First day as a CEO: Making plans
The morning sun rose over the crystal blue waters as Felix stirred from a long night sleep. His eyes flickered open as he tried to adjust his eyes to the sunlight seeping through the window.The sleep was spot on and relieved from all the stress of yesterday's events. Yesterday....Felix remembered all that happened. Right from his entering into the cruise ship, meeting his other family members, meeting D'Angelo and Meq in the toilet, the attempted kidnap, and his dramatic entrance. It was all so fast that it felt unreal. He looked up and a gold-leafed ceiling high above the enormous bed, adorned with curtains of fine silk stared back at him.Felix stretched leisurely against the soft and comfy beddings. He didn't have the time to study the architecture of the room last night, so it felt like he was seeing a different place.His gaze traveled across the white walls that were decorated with hints of mahogany and the gold chandelier hanging from the ceiling.Priceless works of art wer
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 178: First day as a CEO: Meeting with executives
Felix strode through the hallways of Kim's Empire headquarters, his well-polished shoes clicking against the floor. All around him, employees in crisp suits nodded respectfully as he passed.This was the central place where Kim's Empire was managed. And from today on, Felix was in charge.As he approached the elevator, he noticed his reflection in the metal door; his tie was perfectly straight, not a hair out of place. He looked every inch professional and charismatic. When the doors slid open, he entered alone. As the elevator rose steadily to the 300th floor, he prepared himself for the long day head.The elevator doors opened with a soft ding, revealing an anteroom outside the boardroom. Through the tall glass windows, he could see the senior executives already seated around the gleaming table. Felix squared his shoulders and strode through the double doors, the murmurs immediately ceasing as all eyes turned towards the new leader.This was the first time he was meeting with ever
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 179: First day as a CEO: Hiring new employees
"Yes, CEO Kim. It's going to generate a lot of income for the hotel. Do you have a problem with that?" Alexander asked, confused at why Felix brought it up. "It's nothing. Just wanted to check on our top investments. Glad that the business is booming," he said, wearing a smile to lighten the atmosphere. "I'm impressed by the exceptional work of each division under Hess Power CO. Now, to Limbed Corporation. Mrs. Rebecca Turner?"Standing up, Rebecca effortlessly displayed a well-prepared presentation on the screens with a simple tap. "Thank you for giving me this chance, CEO Kim," she smiled.Graphs and diagrams appeared, illustrating Limbed's achievements in different areas. "Limbed Automobiles has been very successful in providing great services to passengers. We've worked hard to make the travel experience better, from making check-in easy to giving personalized services on our automobiles," Rebecca explained.Felix was engrossed as he watched a video showcasing smooth vehicles cru
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 180: First day as a CEO: Bodyguards
A knock on the door pulled Felix from his thoughts. Felix swiveled in his leather chair, the wheels squeaking against the hardwood floor. A woman peering in with curly dark hair framing her face stood at the doorway. Lines by her eyes showed that she was in her late thirties but that didn't dull her friendly smile. "May I come in?" she asked in a pleasant tone. Felix nodded and she walked inside, closing the door behind her. "My name is Charlotte. I've been your father's personal assistant for many years now." Charlotte smoothed her ivory suit jacket and extended her hand. "It seems I'll be helping you for a while as well."Felix had done a review on her, so he was well-informed. "Sure," he extended his hand and shook hers.She left and returned to her desk, leaving Felix in the room. He decided to start by reviewing the company's current financial statements, budgets, and targets. As expected, it was nothing less than perfect. Though, he knew he had to stay ahead of the game, just
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 181: Gathering what forces?
Elsa stirred in her chair, slowly blinking her eyes open as she woke up from sleep in the dimly lit room. She could hear voices talking quietly and quickly. Elsa kept her eyes closed, not wanting to fully wake up yet. The hard wooden chair was uncomfortable against her skin where she was sitting on it.As Elsa became more awake, she realized the voices were close. It seemed they were just across the room. Her neck hurt from the way she arched her head while asleep.Elsa became curious and tried to listen to the conversation, straining to hear snippets of what they were discussing. Since they hadn't revealed that she was awake, she had the advantage of being able to listen without them knowing.The chair made a small sound as she shifted ever so slightly, trying to get more comfortable without giving away that she was awake. Carefully, Elsa tilted her head upward, bit by tiny bit. Her neck hurt from the movement, but she kept going. As her eyes adjusted to the low lighting, she could

197: When realization hits
Without hesitation, Felix lunged forward, wrapping his hand around Elsa and pulling her down behind a table, just as gunfire erupted in the small room. Bullets ricocheted off the furniture, sending splinters flying from it. “Get down!” Felix yelled, pulling Elsa closer, feeling her body press against his. He could feel her reaching into his pockets as he returned fire, the sound of gunshots ringing in his ears. “Don’t tell me you didn’t bring me a spare gun! What am I going to use?!” Elsa shot at him when she noticed his pocket empty, her eyebrow raised in disbelief and a hint of frustration on her face. She felt like slapping him for forgetting something so important, her annoyance mixed with adrenaline. Felix glanced at her, guilt and exasperation on his face. He wanted to kick himself for not being more prepared. “Never mind,” she waved her hand sharply and began looking around the cluttered room for something that could help. The guards shouted commands to each other, tryin

Felix smirked as the heat washed over him. But the smirk vanished immediately; he didn’t have time to celebrate. He dashed down the corridor, taking the stairs two at a time, heading toward the floor where he suspected Elsa might be held.Reaching the upper level, he paused, his breath coming in sharp bursts. His eyes fell on a door marked “Staff Only.” He approached cautiously and leaned in closer, straining to listen for any signs of life on the other side. The silence was deafening.He placed his ear against the door, concentrating hard to hear anything on the other side. Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the hall. Felix's pulse quickened. He had to get inside, now. With a swift kick, he forced the door open and slipped inside, closing it quietly behind him.The room was dimly lit and filled with old furniture and dusty boxes. There was a table in the center of the room. His eyes scanned the space, everywhere, searching for any clue that Elsa was there. She had

“Shit!” Panic flooded him.He promised Felix he would ensure to keep anyone away from that area because he would be there. His mind raced as he quickly walked to him, blocking his view.As he got closer, he noticed the guard stiffen and frown in confusion. The guard paused and glanced behind Vito, looking sharp and on edge, as if he sensed something was wrong. He had heard the noise.“Is something wrong?” Vito asked, trying to sound casual and composed.The guard turned to him, his face darkening as he squinted. “Who are you?” he asked, his voice low and filled with suspicion. Vito noticed the guard's hand moving toward his weapon, fingers twitching as he assessed the situation.Vito stood up straight. “I’m the managing director of Vasley Group,” Vito said, keeping his voice calm and confident. A small smirk appeared on his lips.The guard's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly relaxed, bowing his head. Fear and respect flickered across his face.“I'll ask again: is something wro

Felix walked down a grand flight of stairs, the sound of his footsteps echoing softly in the hallway as he headed for the backdoor. “Vito?” He called into the airpod, keeping his voice low but clear.“Yes, Boss,” he replied through the receiver.Felix paused for a moment and glanced over his shoulder to see if anyone was watching him closely. “The floor opposite the rear exit. Guard that area. Ensure no one goes closer, if anything seems wrong, alert me right away.”“Yes, Boss,” he responded.Felix took a deep breath and began to move, continuing down the stairs. He took long strides towards the rear exit, ensuring to avoid any guards around him.He decided to go on this mission alone to not raise suspicion so he let Jake attend the event in place of him. As he opened the door, he spotted a CCTV above, on the wall. Immediately, he grabbed a plank and swung it against it, hitting it several times.The lens shattered, sending bits of plastic flying.With the camera out of the way, he

They drifted to the edge of the ballroom.“Where's Elsa now?” Jen asked in a hushed tone once they were out of earshot, feeling nervous.Jake shook his head grimly. “Felix is still looking, but no word yet.” Vito looked around the ballroom, carefully observing everyone mingling and discussing. He didn't see any sign of Diane Fox among the wealthy and glamorous guests. He frowned slightly and discreetly waved over one of the nearest Vasley employees.He leaned in close so he could be heard over music. “Excuse me, have you seen Miss Diane? I didn't notice her with the Fox family earlier.”The worker shrugged without much interest. “Last I saw, she ran off the moment she got in. Probably hiding and crying in one of the empty sitting rooms, if you ask me.”Vito frowned in thought. He quickly sent a short message to Felix:“Diane is missing from the main event. Employee thinks she's hiding alone in an empty room. Let me know what you want to do next.”After sending the message, Vito put

191: Handled the attention perfectly
“It would take a while to recover from this hit,” Jake remarked as they sat in the car, watching the hectic scene happening on the red carpet through the tinted windows.Jen looked out at the flashing lights and swarming paparazzi. She turned to him. “Even worse since Glitz and Glamour is leading now.” She had a satisfied smile on her face. Jake glanced over at her. "Are you ready to step out?" he asked. "The attention might be overwhelming."Jen took a slow, deep breath to calm her nerves. Being at the center of attention was scary. “As long as it's for Ma'am Elsa. So, yeah,” she said, arranging her dress and clutching her purse. Jake gave a subtle nod and got out of the car, then hurried around to open her door, offering his hand. Jen grabbed it gratefully with a smile as she stepped out.She held a confident smile, allowing her aura to radiate as she headed to the red carpet.A reporter in the front spotted her and did a double take, shocked to recognize her.

The incident had blown up really nice, and she knew it would cost an arm and a leg for damage control. Not that Vasleys were not up to the task, but they knew how hard it would be. She went back into the room, completing her makeup. She spent over half an hour carefully twisting and winding her hair into an elegant style on top of her head. She used pretty pins in red and shiny silver colors to match her accessories for the evening. The style highlighted her beauty. She realized just how much she had glowed up after the arrest and smiled.Stepping back from the mirror, she picked up the blue dress. The shiny satin material shimmered under the light. Small crystals were sewn neatly along the fitted top part. “This definitely fits the theme,” she smiled as she began to wear the dress. It went all the way to the floor, flattering her. She arranged all she needed and began to walk outside.She looked up and down the quiet sidewalk for Jake as she adjusted the thin straps on her shoulde
