The Heir's Dominance

Chapter 3

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Julius tried to escape. It was a little difficult for him because his hands were tied. Moreover, he also had to work quickly and quietly to avoid attracting attention.

"Damn, the ties are so strong!" cursed Julius as he tried to stretch the bonds on his hands. But as it turned out, the bonds were much stronger than he had expected.

Not out of ideas, Julius bit the end of the rope with difficulty. He did it repeatedly, even when his lips were accidentally bitten and bled. Finally, he was able to release the string from both hands. Without thinking, he threw the rope onto the floor of the car. He had to get out of here immediately!

Slowly, Julius pulled the car door handle so as not to make a sound. When the door opened, he glanced at the street. The men who had caught him earlier were busy with an unknown man. They were fighting, battling it out in the middle of the road. So, Julius quickly fled from there.

"Damn!" he cursed, accidentally almost tripping over his own feet.

Julius thought he had run far enough. His breathing was laboured, and he paused to catch his breath while holding his knees. His throat was running out of fluid.

"Looks like they didn't realize I ran away," Julius muttered in relief. The man looked back to make sure once again. And he was confident that no one had chased him here.

His breathing had not yet calmed down when a pair of shiny shoes suddenly stood before him. Julius lifted his face and found the man who had stopped the debt collectors there. Reflexively, Julius stood up straight and alert.

Julius' eyes widened when the man in the white suit did the unexpected, kneeling down with his eyes down, "Good evening, Mr. Julius! I'm Jeff, the man who will be serving you from now on."

Julius glared in surprise, and the man backed away slightly. "What do you mean? I don't know you!" Julius pointed at Jess with his forefinger, confirming they didn't know each other. Julius had only seen him tonight. And he immediately claimed to be his servant. Something must be wrong!

"I have no business with the mafia or any other black organization!" Julius refused firmly. He looked at the man who introduced himself as Jeff with suspicion. He was worried that the man might secretly have a gun or something to harm him.

In Julius' mind, such a strong man with such a good appearance must not be ordinary. And certainly, he's not a good person either. How could a good man travel with a katana and a fancy car?

Julius already had nothing, had been cheated and was now on the streets. So it was highly unlikely that Julius would suddenly have a servant who, in fact, had a much more decent appearance than himself.

"I'm not a mobster or someone from a crime organization, Mr. Julius! As I said before, I am your servant!" Without raising his head, Jeff explained his words again. The man felt sad that his beliefs were being doubted by Julius. He was his master, someone he had watched from afar for so long.

"You must be mistaken! Go away. We have nothing to do!" Julius felt suspicious of Jeff, worried that this was just a trap to trap him further.

"Mr. Julius is the son of a leather bag craftsman. You have lived with your father for a long time, until his death." Jeff suddenly spoke, causing Julius to stop and turn his head to listen to the mysterious man's explanation.

"You have also been deceived by Noel by making you Bella's fiancé when you were only used to working without pay for two years." Jeff continued. This fact was unknown to many people apart from him, Noel and Bella.

"Not only that, Bella also abandoned and humiliated you by getting engaged to Ramon. Meanwhile, the debts that Noel promised, were not repaid at all and were only paid in small installments, until you had to be arrested and taken away by debt collectors today." Jeff spoke confidently.

"Everyone knows about it, Jeff. Even people who just came to the party have heard about it. I've already been humiliated, and you don't need to emphasize it anymore." Julius rejected the information Jeff provided as evidence. It was easy to get all that.

"Yes, Sir. But, don't you have a birthmark under your right rib. Also, you were hit by a motorcycle and knocked unconscious when you were in elementary school. You didn't come home all day for fear of your father being sad. In fact, you were hiding in your father's work shed." This time, Julius was genuinely surprised.

Only he and his father knew about the incident. And his father would never tell anyone about it. Not even Noel, credited with the incident, knew about it. Now, Julius' feelings were wavering. Was this man telling the truth.

"I am your servant, Master Julius. That's why I know everything about you," Jeff replied respectfully.

"You might be a fraud, Jeff. I won't be fooled! This could just be another one of Bella's charades!" Julius shook his head, refusing to believe Jeff's explanation.

From the bad experiences Julius had already had, it was clear that the man would be much more wary and would not easily trust others again. Julius doubted the truth, especially to someone he had just met like Jeff.

Julius had lived a simple life with his father, where did he come from to suddenly have a servant as capable as Jeff? So, Julius would ask the man a few questions.

"If you're not part of the Bella family's charade. Tell me what your purpose is now? It's impossible that you just came to help me from the debt collectors! You must have another purpose." Julius wanted to hear an explanation from the man kneeling before him.

"I came here to help Master Julius get back on his feet. I will help you regain your strength, Sir!" Jeff replied confidently. He placed one of his hands in front of his stomach as a salute. The man didn't even look away and spoke without a second thought. It was as if that was the purpose of the man meeting and saving Julius tonight.

"You can regain your wealth, Sir! I will help you to regain it. You're not a random person, and your family is a wealthy one. You don't have to worry about anything anymore." Jeff explained a little, and Julius furrowed his brow.

"I wouldn't think twice about doing it! I've been patiently waiting for your resurrection for a long time, Sir!" Jeff assured Julius.

"Indeed, who is my family? I only know my father so far." Julius was curious because he only had his now-deceased father for as long as he could remember. No one else could appear out of the blue.

"If you don't believe me, your grandmother's name is Madam Elisa Luckystone." Hearing the name Jeff mentioned, Julius glared in disbelief.
