Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 91. Underground search
“This one should be our starting point,” Jake pointed on the map he was holding. The following morning, Felix and Jake set out for their underground pursuit. Since they had just limited information, it was impossible to pinpoint where exactly the hideout could be. So, they had to scour all the underground areas in the city, utilizing the code provided by Vito.Currently, they found themselves at the one situated in the heart of the city. A fence encircled the area, and the interior resembled a grassy field.“Chances are high that the syndicate conducts their operations here, boss,” Jake explained as they climbed and jumped over the fence. "Several corpses were found in these grasses a few weeks ago.”Felix surveyed the surroundings and gave a nod. This was their first destination for investigation. Although he had a gut feeling that the location was too serene to be under syndicate control, he wanted to confirm his suspicion.“Everything is covered in grass. How can we determine if

“This shit is so frustrating. We should head out now.” Felix cursed, walking into the area leading to the staircase.Jake, who was tangled in a cobweb, struggled to free himself. “We would resume our search tommorow. It's getting late already,” he said, wiping the cobwebs off his face.“You're right,” Felix replied, pacing back and forth. “We're getting nowhere with this search.”Jake nodded in agreement, following Felix as they climbed up the flight of stairs that led to the vacuous living room of the abandoned building. As they got into the car, Felix took the driver's seat. "I'll drive," he said, starting the engine. "We need to clear our heads and come up with a new plan for tomorrow."Jake leaned back in his seat, staring out of the window. "Today feels like a waste of time," he grumbled.Felix nodded in agreement, but his determination was unwavering. "We'll find Alejandro," he said firmly. "He's caused too much trouble for too long. We need to put an end to his heinous activit
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 93. The Unstoppable Duo
With a determined glare, Felix cracked his knuckles, ready to fight. “We don't need backup. We'll take you all down ourselves!” He stated confidently.Jake stood by his side, equally ready for the fight. He looked at Felix and whispered, "Are you sure about this?"Felix nodded, a determined look on his face. Turning to Fred, he shouted, “Let the game begin!”“Haha! Can't wait to make you look pathetic!” Fred yelled back maniacally.Suddenly, the men began drawing out their weapons which featured rods, baseball bats, wooden planks or glass bottles. They, together with Fred who wielded a metal pipe, further took offensive stances, ready to attack. Felix and Jake also took their fighting stances, rolling up their sleeves, mentally preparing themselves for what was to come. Without warning, Fred's men roared and charged towards them, weapons raised in the air and murder glimmering in their eyes.The first thug charged at Felix, but he stepped back swiftly, dodging the stick as it swung
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 94. Truth, by force!
Fred gaped in disbelief at the sight before him. Felix sat atop a goon's back like a king on his throne, treating the goon like a piece of furniture, his body language exuding confidence and power. A sly grin played across his lips, and his eyes gleamed with a dangerous glint, all adding to the sense of danger that radiated from him.Fred felt a shiver run down his spine. This was not the same Felix he had known before. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe mixed with fear as he looked upon Felix, now viewing him as an untouchable deity that he could never hope to defeat.Suddenly, Felix stood up from his back and delivered a swift back kick to the goon's stomach, sending the man hurtling through the air. The impact was so forceful that the goon crashed to the ground with a loud thud, gasping for breath.Fred watched in awe as Felix calmly dusted off his hands, his aura of danger only growing stronger with each passing moment. The sheer force behind Felix's strike left no doubt in
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 95. A clue at last
“His name is...”“Will you say something you damn asshole!” Felix yelled, getting impatient with Fred's stutter.“He is ALEJANDRO!” Fred finally revealed, his voice trembling. "He is a notorious drug baron that operates in the city! He's been after the Kim's Empire for a long time now, and he has a lot of power and influence in the criminal underworld!"Caught unawares, Felix's eyes widened at the mention of Alejandro's name.Alejandro was Fred's boss? So this thirst for power was planned out by Alejandro from the beginning?“Are you being serious right now?” Felix frowned. Even Jake was as shocked as Felix. He never expected that Alejandro had his eyes on Felix even before now.Fred's eyes narrowed as he observed Felix's expression. Instead of being surprised, Felix looked shocked that the person was Alejandro. “Do you already know him?” he asked.“Just answer the damn question!”“I can swear with everything I have! Alejandro is the one who sent me! Just like you said, how can a pett
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 96. Paranoia: Whose eyes are those?
You're coming with us!” Felix stated, letting go of his collar. “You've been helpful, Fred,” he said. “But don't think this means you're off the hook.”“Isn't it better to just waste his life?” Jake spat gruesomely, without an iota of emotion in his voice. Fred reacted instantly by vigorously shaking his head in refusal.“No,” Felix responded, “He is still very much useful. We're taking him as a hostage for now.”Fred's face turned pale as he realized the situation. He had nowhere to go and he was now a prisoner of Felix and Jake.Felix could sense the fear in Fred's eyes, but he couldn't risk letting him go. Not when he had so much valuable information about Alejandro and his plans. It was time to take Fred home and start planning their next move.“Get him into the car,” Felix ordered Jake. Jake nodded and grabbed Fred by the arm, dragging him towards the car. “No! Fucking let go of me!” Fred protested. He struggled and tried to resist, but Jake's grip was too strong.“We have to do
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 97. MARK IS BACK!!!
Elsa gasped and wrenched the door open, stumbling inside and slamming the door behind her. She leaned against it, catching her breath as she listened intently for any signs that the footsteps had followed her in. A few moments later, a gentle knock sounded at the door. Elsa screamed her lungs out. Felix, who had just left the garage with Jake after tying Fred up, became instantly startled. Worriedly, he called out, "Elsa? It's just me. Are you okay?" Elsa took a deep breath, steadying her nerves. She quickly turned back and opened the door for them. "I'm f-fine," she lied, her voice trembling. "Just wasn't expecting you." Felix observed her weird behavior and frowned. She was, from time to time, blowing air on her forehead, rubbing her hands together, and looking down in fright. He peered at her with concern. "You don't look fine. What's going on?" Elsa shook her head nervously, not yet ready to voice the paranoid delusions that had seized her imagination on the journey home.
Secretly The Quadrillionaire's Heir 98. Obsession turns psychotic
She gasped, lunging forward into a run and stumbling down the hall toward the bathroom. Behind the closed door, she slid to the floor, chest heaving as panic closed around her. Her mind was a mess, and wherever she looked, it felt like Mark's face was everywhere, repeatedly telling her he was back.It would have been bearable, but the memory of all he said at Kimber Kim's birthday ball was deeply etched in her head:“Let me tell you now bitch, you are of NO use to me at all....The only problem is that I am obsessed.... and there's no way I'm letting you go. Not now, not forever........ no matter how far you go, be it south Antarctica or north Alaska, I will find you......... I will appear from nowhere like a ghost in a horror movie and grab you by the neck, taking you to where you belong...... So now, don't let me get dangerous!"And then there was the incident with the strange person, who she had confirmed was Mark. He had strangled her, saying: “Who am I? How can you be so quick t

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
194: Red button
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

Within minutes, the first posts started appearing on social media from accounts of Vasley employees about Diane Fox and Jericho's son, Jerry Vasley, doing drugs together.An idol from Vasley Entertainment uploaded several photos with the caption "Friends having fun at a party #oops". The pictures showed Diane, Jerry and several others passed out or engaged in drunken kissing. Meanwhile, Vito shared one of the more explicit videos on his profile.
