THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THROUGH BLOOD AND WILL
The room grew eerily silent as Mr. Zypher's form flickered and faded into invisibility, leaving Marvin seemingly alone. A faint chill ran through the air, the only trace of Mr Zypher's spectral presence. The tension was suffocating, and Marvin’s calm exterior began to falter ever so slightly.Suddenly, the faintest sound broke the silence—a sharp, piercing noise that Marvin instantly recognized. It was the sound of a blade slicing through the air, it was deadly and precise.Marvin’s instincts screamed at him. His heart pounded as he focused inward, calling upon the energy he had suppressed—his synapticore force. A low hum began to resonate in his head, growing louder as the energy within him stirred. Slowly, everything around him sharpened and became clearer. Shadows deepened, movements in the air became visible, and he could feel every vibration, every shift in the atmosphere.Meanwhile, Mr. Zypher, who was invisible and holding the dagger tightly in his hand, smiled to himself.
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THE COLLAPSE OF A TITAN
Mr. Zypher lunged forward, with his invisible form cutting through the air with deadly precision. The dagger was aimed straight at Marvin’s chest. He was eager, too eager, to end it all in one strike.But just as he drove forward, something snapped inside him.A sudden, crushing pain exploded in Mr. Zypher’s head. It was as though his brain had been overloaded, weighed down by something he couldn’t describe or even begin to understand. He staggered, his movements were faltering. His grip on the dagger loosened, and it clattered to the floor.“No… what is this…?” Mr. Zypher gasped, clutching his head with both hands. The pain swelled, it was unbearable and consuming. It was a force unlike anything he had ever encountered. His mind, trained to resist manipulation, now felt fractured and violated.Then came the scream.It was primal, raw, and full of agony. Mr. Zypher fell to his knees, his scream reverberating through the room as blood began to drip from his nose, staining his once-p
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR WHEN FEAR REIGNS
Mr. Zypher’s cries continued, echoing through the room like the wails of a broken man. His hands clutched his head tightly as the pain tore through him. His breaths were ragged, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Through the agony, he managed to muffle out, “Please… Marvin… don’t kill me. I don’t want to die.”Marvin stood still, his glowing sky-blue eyes were fixed on the writhing man before him. His presence was cold and unshaken, like a predator looming over its weakened prey.“Ohhhh, Mr. Zypher,” Marvin said at last, his voice buzzing with an unnatural energy, which was almost electric. His front hair near his temples had turned stark white, as though the immense power of the synapticore force he channeled had begun to change him physically.“You really thought you would outsmart me… didn’t you?” Marvin’s tone was slow and measured, but it carried a sharp edge of danger.Mr Zypher’s body twitched as he tried to speak. “Stop… please… I’ll do whatever you want… I don’t want to
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR COMMANDING THE PRESENT, SECURING THE FUTURE
Five days later, Marvin’s office was set. The sunlight poured in through the tall glass windows, casting sharp rays across the minimalist yet imposing space. Everything was in its place: the polished desk, the leather chair, and the faint hum of technology in the background. Marvin sat at his desk, calm and prepared, as if the events of the previous days hadn’t happened. But beneath his calm exterior, his mind was sharp and focused, ready for the day’s events.He reached for the sleek telephone on his desk and pressed a button. His deep, steady voice echoed in the empty room as he spoke. “Get Zack Boston, the sales manager, to come to my office immediately.”The call was brief. Marvin didn’t need to repeat himself.Within six minutes, there was a knock on the door. Marvin’s gaze flicked toward it. “Come in,” he said firmly, with a tone that left no room for hesitation.The door opened slowly, and Zack Boston entered. He was a thin, wiry man in his mid-40s, dressed in a perfectly i
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR SHATTERED EXPECTATIONS
Inside Jessica's chambers at the sprawling Zypher mansion, the air was heavy with silence, broken only by the faint hum of medical equipment. Mr. Zypher sat slumped in a wheelchair, his head was propped up by a supportive brace. His once-proud and commanding presence was now reduced to a frail, sulking figure. Bandages were wrapped around his temple, and a thin tube ran to an oxygen tank to help him breathe. The injuries Marvin Richmond had inflicted left him physically battered and emotionally crushed.Jessica stood by the large window, gazing out at the rain-soaked gardens. She didn’t dare meet her father’s eyes. Her hands trembled slightly as she fiddled with her phone, the weight of her father’s disappointment kept pressing on her like a stone.From the wheelchair, Mr. Zypher let out a hoarse groan, his voice was dripping with bitterness. "Eight hundred million dollars," he muttered, shaking his head weakly. "Eight hundred million dollars in cash! That’s what Marvin demands t
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR THIRTY MINUTES TO DECISION
Jessica hesitated, glancing at her father, who was watching her intently from his wheelchair. "We’re fine," she replied reluctantly, her voice was low and strained.“Wow, good to hear that,” Marvin said, his voice was unnervingly smooth. "It’s been five days now, and I haven’t heard a word about whether or not you and your father are interested in buying back your company for the agreed price. Eight hundred million dollars in cash. Jessica.”Jessica felt her heart pounding in her chest. She didn’t respond, hoping he’d continue without needing an answer.“I’m tired of waiting any longer,” Marvin continued, with a tone that darkened slightly. "So here’s what’s going to happen. You and your father have thirty minutes to come to the Zypher company headquarters so we can discuss business and the way forward. Otherwise, there will be… consequences."Jessica’s stomach tightened. "What do you mean by consequences?" she asked quickly, with a trembling voice.“I could decide against selling bac
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR POWER AND HELPLESSNESS
The storm outside raged as two house servants rushed into Jessica's room. His frail body sat slumped in a wheelchair, hooked up to machines, the steady beep of the heart monitor filled the room. His breathing was shallow, and his pale skin looked ghostly under the dim lights.“Jessica, what are you doing?” Mr. Zypher asked weakly, with a breaking voice. He watched his daughter as she leaned over him and began adjusting the oxygen tubes attached to his wheelchair so they could get him dressed. “Please, don’t do this. I can’t… I can’t take this.”“We have no choice, Dad,” Jessica replied firmly, though her hands were trembling. “Marvin’s not joking. If we don’t show up, he’ll take everything.”Two servants stepped forward, one checking the straps on the wheelchair and the other securing the portable oxygen tank. Mr. Zypher’s eyes filled with tears as Jessica bent over to place a blanket over his legs. “Please,” he whimpered, his voice cracking. “Take it easy. I’m not strong enough for
THE UNDERESTIMATED HEIR AGAINST THE CLOCK
Jessica glanced at her watch again, leaving her heart pounding. "We only have two minutes left!" she bellowed, as her voice trembled with panic. Without wasting another second, she helped to bring out her father from the vehicle, sat him on the wheelchair, grabbed the wheelchair handles and began pushing her father toward the building entrance, her heels splashed through the puddles."Quickly, help me!" she shouted at the assistants who rushed to her side, shielding Mr. Zypher with umbrellas as the rain poured down relentlessly.The glass doors to the headquarters slid open with a hiss, and they hurried inside. Jessica’s hair clung to her face, and her clothes were soaked, but there was no time to fix anything. "We’re taking the elevator!" she commanded, her voice was sharp with urgency.They rolled Mr. Zypher toward the elevator, with the squeaking sound of the wheelchair’s wet wheels echoing through the marble-floored lobby. The assistants stayed close, with one of them clutching

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
