THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR PAYMENT CONFIRMED
The security guard, a tall man with a shaved head, stepped forward and broke the tense silence. "If this man intends to buy all the tickets, I think we should give him a chance." His voice was calm but firm, carrying an authority that made everyone, including the ticket seller, pay attention."Bring out all the tickets." He ordered, as his eyes were locked onto the salesman.The ticket seller hesitated, as his face was scrunched up in disbelief. "Are you serious?"The guard nodded, as his expression turned stern. "Do as I say."Reluctantly, the ticket seller opened the locker behind the counter again, pulling out the entire stack of VIP tickets and the other varieties of tickets. The security guard slapped them down on the counter with a smirk. "However many this is." He said, eyeing Marvin, "I must warn you—if you can’t pay for all of them, I’ll will ensure that you are thrown out of here. Even though you’ve already bought a ticket for yourself."Marvin didn’t flinch. His voice was
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Marvin stood there, calm as ever, with a slight grin on his face. The crowd still buzzed with excitement around them, but Marvin's focus was only on the tall guard. He let the silence linger for just a moment before speaking."You want to hear what I wish for?" Marvin said, with a steady voice. "Fine, I will tell you."The guard blinked, still struggling to understand everything that had happened. Marvin stepped a little closer, his smile faded as his tone became serious."I wish for a special show." Marvin said. "I want "The Silver Mirage" to be played on every screen in this cinema."The guard’s eyes widened in disbelief. "*The Silver Mirage*? You want us to play that for everyone?"Marvin nodded, as there was not a hint of doubt in his expression. The guard shook his head, looking more confused than ever."But... that’s not possible," the guard stammered. "Do you know how many important people are in this cinema right now? Some of them paid for VIP tickets to see blockbuster film
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR HEADLIGHTS AND IMPACT
Marvin sat comfortably in the plush seat, the screen was flickering as *The Silver Mirage* began. The opening scenes were filled with breathtaking landscapes, and soon the crowd around him was captivated. People whispered excitedly, and eyes were glued to the action on screen.The security guard, who had been so worried about switching the movie, peeked into the theater from the back. He was surprised to see that everyone seemed to be enjoying the film. No one was upset, no one complained. Instead, there was laughter, gasps, and the occasional "wow" from the audience. A wave of relief washed over him. Marvin’s unusual request hadn’t caused the chaos he feared. Everything was going smoothly, for now.Marvin, however, was only half watching the movie. His mind wandered as he realized something—Stella wasn’t there. She was supposed to meet him at the cinema. They had plans, not just for the movie, but to discuss something important. The deal with Orion Dynamics was a big one, and
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR SHADOWS AND SALVATION
His vision blurred, and for a moment, all he could hear was a ringing in his ears.When the car finally stopped, Marvin was slumped in his seat, dazed. His heart pounded in his chest, his breathing was rapid and shallow. His hands were trembling, barely able to grip the steering wheel. He blinked, trying to focus, but everything around him was spinning. The world outside his window was a blur of lights and shadows. His chest ached, and he realized he’d been holding his breath.Marvin groaned, the pain in his head was worsening as he slowly tried to sit up straighter. He wasn’t sure how badly he was hurt, but he could feel the dull throbbing in his shoulder and ribs from the force of the crash.Marvin’s head was still spinning, and his vision turned blurry from the crash. He could hear the faint hum of the engine, but his car had stopped moving. His body ached, and the pain in his head throbbed like a drum. He tried to take deep breaths, but they came out shaky and uneven.Just as h
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR SURVIVING THE UNTHINKABLE
Stella knelt down beside Marvin, gently placing her hand on his shoulder. “Come on, we need to get you out of here.” she said, her voice soft but urgent. Marvin groaned, his body aching as she helped him sit up straighter. “What... what are you doing here?” Marvin managed to ask, his voice was weak and shaky. His head was still pounding, and his vision blurred again as he tried to focus on her face.Stella didn’t answer right away. Instead, she slipped her arm around his back and slowly helped him out of the car. Marvin winced in pain, feeling every bruise and ache from the crash, but with Stella’s support, he was able to stand.She guided him carefully toward her vehicle, which was still idling nearby. “Come on, Marvin, stay with me,” she said as she opened the passenger door and helped him into the front seat. Marvin sank into the seat, and his head began to spin. “Stella... why?” he whispered, his words slurred, but Stella was already shutting the door and hurrying around to the
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR AN UNCERTAIN DEPARTURE
The next few hours blurred together. Stella had arranged for Marvin and his mother, Sophia Richmond, to escape to Neovalle, a distant city where they could be safe from Mr Richmond.******Stella had pulled strings within two days to get their visas quickly, and everything had seemed to be in order.Now, they were rushing toward Westwood Airport, Stella drove with a quiet focus, her grip was tight on the steering wheel.Marvin sat in the backseat, and his mother sat next to him. He was still reeling from the news that his father wanted him dead. He couldn't wrap his head around it—his own father, willing to pay assassins to kill him. His stomach churned with anxiety as they sped down the highway.Sophia Richmond placed a comforting hand on Marvin’s arm. “Everything will be fine,” she whispered, though her eyes were clouded with worry. “We’ll be safe soon.”When they arrived at the airport, everything felt rushed and chaotic. They hurried through the busy terminal, and Stella led them
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR OLD TIES NEW TRICKS
Marvin’s mind was still spinning from the officer’s words when suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. “Hello, give way, I have to check in.” It was Martha Arceneaux. She stood just a few feet away, holding her son Bryan’s hand, her eyes scanned the scene with a smug look on her face.Marvin’s heart sank further. How could she be here? How did she get involved in this? And how did she manage to take their slots and thwart their escape plan?Sophia Richmond turned, her expression instantly hardened with pure hatred. She stepped in front of Martha, blocking her path.Martha smirked, not even trying to hide her contempt. “Hey, old madam, please get out of the way. I’ve got a flight to catch.” Her tone was sharp, almost mocking.Sophia’s eyes narrowed, as her anger began to rise quickly. “I’m not moving,” she said coldly. “How did you get our visa slots? How did you even manage this?” Martha crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, pretending to be innocent. “What are you talking a
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR BEYOND THE USUAL RULES
Marvin slipped his phone out of his pocket, his hand was steady as he scrolled through his contacts. He stopped when he found the name: "Donovan Reeves". The airport manager, and someone Marvin had once done business with. This was his best shot.He pressed the call button and raised the phone to his ear, glancing one more time at Martha. She was still smirking, confident that she’d won. But Marvin knew better. This wasn’t over.The phone rang twice before Donovan’s deep voice answered.“Hello, who am I speaking with?""It Marvin, Marvin Richmond." He said the last name like he wasn't proud of it."Marvin! It’s been a while. How are you, my friend?” The voice at the background was overjoyed as he heard that lit was Marvin.Marvin didn’t have time for small talk. His voice was calm but firm. “Donovan, this isn’t the time for pleasantries. I need you to do something for me.”There was a pause on the other end. Donovan sounded surprised. “Alright… what do you need me to do for you?”Ma

DANIEL BOWEN'S FALL
Carl’s grip on the gun tightened, his arm was steady as he pointed it directly at Daniel Bowen’s chest. The room was tense, the silence was almost suffocating.Daniel’s defiant glare began to falter as desperation crept into his voice. "Carl, listen to me," he said, his tone was trembling but firm. "You’re better than this. You’re better than betraying your own blood. We’ve been through so much together. Think about our family. Think about what this means for us."Carl didn’t say a word. His face remained cold and unreadable, but his hand didn’t waver."Please, Carl," Daniel pleaded, his voice breaking now. "I know you’re angry. I know you feel like I’ve wronged you. But killing me won’t solve anything. You’ll carry that weight forever. You don’t have to do this!"Carl’s gaze didn’t soften. His voice, when he finally spoke, was calm and emotionless. "In this game of power, only the strong survive. The weak are cast aside. It’s best to make use of every opportunity."Daniel shook his h

THE QUANTUM NEXUS DECEPTION
Mr. Richmond's smile widened as he locked eyes with Daniel Bowen. "And there is the prize," he said smoothly, pointing at the glowing Quantum Nexus crystal in Carl Bowen's hands. "The singular object that put you on a high jump."Daniel’s chest heaved with fury. He turned his gaze to Carl, and his voice trembled with disbelief. "Carl, how could you do this? How did you become a part of this madness? What could you possibly stand to gain by stealing the Quantum Nexus crystal, the very lifeblood of our family’s special Quantum Veil abilities?"Mr. Richmond raised a hand, silencing the growing tension. "No, no, no, Mr. Bowen. Carl didn’t steal it—not entirely. I mean, yes, he planned for the Quantum Nexus crystal to be carried out of the vault, but surely, it would be returned. Eventually." His smirk was sharp, cutting like a blade.Daniel gasped, the realization dawned on him. His voice cracked as he whispered, "You... you used it to lure me." His mind raced, piecing the puzzle together

A FAMILIAR BETRAYAL
The world spun in disarray for Daniel Bowen as the explosion rocked his motorcade. His ears rang with the deafening sound, his body ached from the jolt, and his vision blurred. Before he could process what had happened, strong hands yanked the door of his SUV open.And with a sharp sting to his neck—a needle. Darkness swallowed him whole.********When Daniel stirred about some hours later, his senses were overwhelmed by the sound of clinking chains and a faint musty smell. He was abducted and he was taken to an abandoned warehouse deep inside the woods.Now inside the warehouse, his head felt heavy, and he struggled to breathe. Slowly, he realized a sack covered his face, trapping him in suffocating darkness.He tried to move, but his hands and legs wouldn’t budge. Cold metal dug into his wrists and ankles. He was bound to a chair, with the unyielding grip of chains locking him in place.A moment later, footsteps echoed in the distance, drawing closer.With a rough yank, the sack w

THE VANISHED CRYSTAL
Daniel Bowen’s heart raced as he held the phone tightly against his ear. "What happened, Carl?" he asked again, his voice was barely above a whisper.Carl Bowen took a deep breath on the other end of the line. "Daniel, the Quantum Nexus crystal has been stolen."The words hit Daniel like a thunderbolt. He straightened in his chair, his confident demeanor started faltering. "What?" he asked sharply, shaking his head as though he hadn’t heard correctly."I said the Quantum Nexus is gone!" Carl’s voice was louder this time, filled with urgency. "I just got the report from the security team. It's not a mistake, Daniel. The crystal is missing!"Daniel’s lips curled into a doubtful smirk. He leaned back in his chair, trying to dismiss the situation. "Come on, Carl. That’s impossible. You’re joking, right? There’s no way anyone could steal the Quantum Nexus crystal. I made sure the vault was impregnable. You know how tight our security is."Carl’s voice cracked as he insisted, "I’m not jokin

CHAINS BEHIND THE DEAL
The Nigerian Minister for Mines and Steel, along with an entourage of ten Nigerians, arrived at the headquarters of Bowen Corporation in Westwood. The group was well-dressed, with each member carrying themselves with the dignity of representing an entire nation. The journey had been long, but their mission was clear: to secure the release of Mr. Akintola Adeyemi, a man whose contributions to Nigeria’s economy were unparalleled. The president himself had approved the ransom, agreeing to Mr. Bowen’s demands for access to rare earth minerals.As they stepped into the grand lobby of Bowen Corporation, Daniel Bowen was already waiting to receive them. He wore a broad smile, exuding charm and confidence, as though this meeting was just another business deal. "Welcome to Bowen Corporation," he said warmly, extending his hand to the minister.The Nigerian minister, however, did not return the smile. His expression was stern, his reluctance to show any sign of friendliness was evident. Th

BITTER NEGOTIATIONS
Mr. Richmond shifted uneasily in his seat, his lips trembled as he finally found the courage to speak. His voice was soft, almost pleading, as he asked, “What do you want me to do, Marvin?”Marvin’s gaze didn’t waver as he leaned forward, his expression was calm but deadly serious. The glow of his veins was gone, but the intensity in his eyes remained. “If I decide to help you deal with Mr. Daniel Bowen,” Marvin began slowly, “then I will be entitled to thirty percent of what Richmond Tech generates annually for the next twenty years.”The room went silent. Mr. Richmond’s eyes widened in shock, and his mouth opened slightly as though the air had been knocked out of him. “But... but with all due respect, son, that is an outrageous offer. Come on, son, that offer is not fair.”Marvin’s eyebrows furrowed in disgust. “Not fair?” he asked, his voice rising slightly as he repeated the words, a sharp edge of bitterness lacing his tone.“Not fair?” He stood abruptly, glaring down at his fat

A DEAL WITH THE PILLER
Mr. Richmond’s mouth opened, but no words came out. He stared at Marvin, his face turned pale and his hands were trembling as though he were looking at a ghost. Finally, he managed to stammer, his voice shaking:“You... have... the Synapticore Force?”The glow of Marvin’s veins pulsed brighter, and the crackling energy around him surged again, filling the room with an overwhelming aura. He leaned forward, his glowing eyes boring into his father’s own as he spoke with a calm, controlled fury.“Yes, I have the Synapticore Force,” Marvin replied, his voice was cold, and each word cut like a blade.He paused for a moment, letting the weight of his words settle in the room. Then, he continued with a tone that was laced with bitterness.“If you were patient enough, if you had the love of a father to seek deeper, to confirm whether or not I had the Synapticore Force, maybe you and Richmond Tech would have been reaping the benefits by now. But instead, you threw me away like I was nothing.”

BOUND BY BLOOD BROKEN BY TRUST
Standing there, dressed impeccably as always, was his father—Mr. Richmond.“Hello, son,” Mr. Richmond greeted softly, his voice almost hesitant. “I am amazed by the structure you’ve put up here. It’s really… ecstatic.”Marvin’s eyes narrowed, and his jaw was clenched. The faint glow in his veins pulsed brighter as his anger surged. “What the hell are you doing here?” he snapped, his voice was dripping with disdain.“Marvin, please, calm down,” Mr Christopher urged, stepping forward slightly, his hands were raised in a calming gesture.Marvin ignored his uncle’s plea and glared at his father. “I don’t care about the trash you want to say to me,” he seethed, his voice was low but filled with venom. “Now get out before I do something you’ll regret for the rest of your life.”“Marvin, please…” Mr. Richmond began, his voice was heavy with desperation, but he faltered under his son’s piercing gaze.“Marvin,” Mr Christopher interjected, his tone was firm but compassionate, “everything you’re

WHEN THE PAST WALKS IN
Two weeks had passed since the chaos at the energy core, but for Marvin, it felt like a lifetime.He sat in his office, slouched in the large, leather chair behind his polished oak desk. The expansive window behind him let in streams of sunlight, but the brightness felt out of place. Inside, Marvin felt dim and distant, like a part of him had been stripped away.On the surface, he looked composed. His suit was neatly pressed, the dark fabric hiding the faint glow of the blue veins still etched into his arms. The glow was faint now, but it was a constant reminder of the price he had paid in an effort to stabilise the energy grid.Marvin sighed, leaning back in his chair as he stared at the untouched documents on his desk. His mind wandered to his telepathic abilities—once sharp, vibrant, and second nature to him. Now, reaching that state felt like trying to grab smoke with his bare hands.He closed his eyes for a moment and focused. "Reach deeper." he told himself. His thoughts st
