Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 78. Training
|In a private gym|“Alright, Elsa, today we're going to work on some basic self-defense techniques.”In the middle of a standard gym built exclusively for the Kims’, Elsa was in a sports bra and black leggings, carrying out a few stretches to prepare herself while Felix was preparing the ring for the training.“Sure!” Elsa shouted, rounding up the exercise and entering into the ring.Felix wore a short smile as she shuttled on the platform, her fists on her chin level, her ponytail dancing at her back.“Alright. But note, I am not gonna take it easy on you.” he said, clapping his hands together.“I never asked you to,” she chuckled.“Hmm,” he thought, “how about we start with a little round?”Elsa nodded in response, “whoever makes the first punch is the winner.”And soon, they were circling each other. The fight started and Elsa threw a punch but Felix was quick to see it, dodging it. But Elsa was still determined. She learnt some skills in martial arts and combat from her next door
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 79. She never misses her target!
“Hey don't be so dramatic,” Elsa rolled her eyes, still sulking over her broken knuckles. Damn! His chest is as hard as a rock!Felix laughed it off and arranged everywhere, grabbing another bottle of water to drink.After a while, Felix suggested, “should we go for a long walk down the street?" “You definitely read my mind. I also wanna go for a little sightseeing,” Elsa agreed, and they left the gym, heading outside.As they walked through the park, Felix turned to Elsa and asked, “So, how did you get into martial arts and self-defense from the start?”Elsa smiled, “I've always been interested in action movies. I love seeing the characters fight and do all those cool moves.”As she spoke, Elsa demonstrated a few moves, throwing a few punches and kicks in the air.He found it amusing and commented, “Well, you certainly have the enthusiasm for it.”Elsa smiled, and then suddenly said, “remember when I told I have a special ability you'd like to learn about while training me?”Felix r
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 80. Arrogant high schoolers
As Felix and Elsa continued walking, they turned a corner and found themselves face to face with a group of wealthy high schoolers. They were all wearing top-notch brand attires with golden chains hanging on their necks.But that wasn't what bothered Felix. It was the fact that they were smoking and inhaling some kind of substance from a paper to the extent they were so lost in it. Felix, being preoccupied with their repulsive act, accidentally bumped into one of the boys, a haughty-looking fellow with a disdainful expression. He could tell he was the leader of their gang considering the fact his aura was more imposing and his outfits were more designer than theirs. The young lad's reaction was immediate and unpleasant. "Watch where you're going, you oaf!" he spat, his voice dripping with condescension.Felix knew he was acting under the influence giving his weird behavior. Gosh! What was the world turning into? Teenagers now do drugs? “Do you know what time it is?” Felix asked,
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 81. Meeting an old enemy
Felix and Elsa walked back to their car, still laughing about what happened.“Gosh, I can't wait to post this. It'll surely have a lot of views and likes,” she took out her phone, almost ready to post the photo but immediately dropped the idea. “I should wait. I might need it in the future, who knows?” “Can't believe you actually covered that scene. When did you do that?”“Trust me, the moment they began saying nonsense to you, I recognized them. Vasley group of companies have a subsidiary that specializes in cosmetics. They've been competing with my company for a long while now so I know almost all the faces of their family members. Then I thought, ‘won't it be creative to cover such an interesting live show?’” Felix shook his head and glanced at the cheerful Elsa who looked like she just won a lottery. Well, who wouldn't be after getting something to use against your rivals? He just wished he was the one who got something to use against the enemies. Thinking of that now, he'll nee
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 82. Deadly bet
“What is happ–” the question froze in her mouth when she saw Lena Orlena, her idol supermodel, struggling to stand on her feet.“Oh my God, Miss Lena's here? What is she doing on the floor! Quick, help her up!” The Manager fretted, gesturing to the shop assistants to help Lena to her feet.“Who dared to do this to her? Does that person have a death wish?” She yelled, shaking with shock and fear.“Hello, it's me!” Elsa beamed, sarcastically walking closer to the woman. “Nice to meet you, Manager Cara.”On the other hand, the manager fumed mad. “You... How dare you? Do you know who you just messed with? And even if you're desperate for trouble, don't rub it on our boutique!”Then the Manager's eyes met the beautiful dress torn on the floor. Her eyes went wide, and her mouth hung agape. “Oh no! That's one of our masterpieces! Did you do this also? I'm sorry but you will have to pay for it!”“How much is it?” Elsa asked nonchalantly.“It's worth ten million dollars! Can you afford it?”At
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 83. Do not go back on your words!
“Oh my goodness! He actually paid for the dress!” A shop assistant yelled, bringing Lena back to reality.Her mind started racing with different thoughts. How did he afford it? So they weren't bluffing when they said they could buy the dress!?Colour drained from her face as she saw the cashier handing him the receipt, making her face pale like she was cramping up. "Okay, let's take a deep breath and open our eyes," she thought. But even after doing so, she still saw the numbing scene in front of her.“Hey supermodel Lena Orlena,” Elsa drawled, a cocky smirk on her face as she called her name mockingly, “as you can see, we already paid the money, so it's time to fulfill your own end of the bet.”Oh no! Her endorsement deal! She had straightforwardly bet with her career simply because she felt they couldn't pay. Now, she felt like cutting her tongue for making her spout such nonsense.But she can't do it! That contract will be her life! She had always dreamt of being the face of an int
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 84. He got the promotion?
“What?!” Evie frowned, wondering what made Felix say that.“What's the problem? You don't want to take up the challenge?” Felix quirked a brow.Evie stared at him in suspicion. Of course, she knew the promotion was definitely going to be hers and expected nothing less than the managerial position, but Felix's sudden challenge threw her off guard. “You think I'm scared of you? I'm just wondering why you're so confident of yourself,” Evie twitched her lips sideways, grabbing the hem of her floor-sweeping ball gown she wore.Everyone watched in frustration as she battled with her extra long dress. Even if they admired her fashion sense, they were going for a company's anniversary! Everyone was supposed to appear corporate, either using a skirt suit or any other thing formal. Yet, she was so proud of herself, flaunting a baby pink strapless dress that swept the floor as she walked. “You don't have to appear overglamorous with all that Barbie makeup and dress to stand out, cause even i
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 85. From trashed products to triumph
Meanwhile, as the event drew to a close, few people had started dispersing, while majority started to wind down, the conversations around the room began to turn towards business. Among them was Elsa, who had brought a bag load of her cosmetics products, ready to advertise. She had spent months perfecting her latest organic formula and was eager to share it with the world.As she mingled with the other guests, Elsa struck up a conversation with a middle-aged woman who seemed interested in her products. "Excuse me, ma'am," Elsa said with a friendly smile. "I couldn't help but notice that you have beautiful skin. I have just the right product that could enhance your natural beauty even more."The woman looked intrigued, "Oh, really? Tell me more about it."Elsa quickly pulled out a small container of her signature cream from her bag and explained its benefits. She spoke in a friendly tone, using simple language that the woman could easily understand. "This cream is specially formulated

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
196: Freeze!
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. "Isn't that the P.A
191: Overwhelming reporters
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
