The Heir's Redemption Chapter hundred seventy two
The old butler and Christian spent the rest of the night going through the records until Christian found the connection between the three companies that they'd lost deals with over the last half of the year. It was the subsidiary of Otec and two others. Still, he was expected to secure a deal with the mother company. But the records also uncovered that two other companies were allies of Otec and going through them would be an option. But first, no matter how pessimistic he felt, Chris knew he had to give it a shot. The next morning, the duo arrived at Otec. It was a dome-shaped building made entirely of glass. From outside, all they saw was a distorted reflection of their surroundings, inside was no doubt a better view. "There's a reason Jupiter gave this to you, something tells me that she tried the contract herself and was turned down," Potter said as he looked at the intimidating structure. Chris smiled, "I don't think so, Jupiter doesn't handle deals, don't forget that until

Berlin was going to be an even harder place to find. Christian Robinson made several calls that led him to believe the Berlin company was a virtual tech company with no physical building whatsoever. But Christian was much more persistent, he knew that before such a big firm could stay alive and have partners, they needed a physical outlet. No one trusted the clouds with their money, at least not businessmen. As he was stepping out of Otec, he could see Potter reverse the car and pull up right beside him, Christian got in and waited for the location to Berlin but it wasn't forthcoming. "Where do we go next, sir?" Potter asked, looking at him worriedly through the rearview mirror. The old butler could tell without having to ask that his master's little trip to Otec wasn't successful. Christian replied with a sigh, "I'm still waiting on intel," he said. Potter nodded and both men remained in the car in companionable silence, until Christian's phone rang. He picked it up quickly think

Evans looked at Christian like he had grown a second head, "You allowed that old woman to corner you into this?" He asked in disbelief, "Come on, Christian, I could have sworn you would be wise enough to refuse her," Evans said, frowning deeply. "I didn't have a choice, it was either take that offer or never return to my seat on the executive board," Christian replied. Evans huffed, "And to make it worse you went ahead and challenged her," he sighed, "How could you be so careless? You have barely gotten back into the family, you have no idea the hell that place has passed through for the past few months while you were gone, did you think it was that easy of a feat and Hogan who has always been excited about taking your place could not handle it just to have you out of the way?" He asked, even Evans knew how hard it was going to be to secure a deal with Otec. "Hogan is no match for me, his abilities are restricted to scheming and plotting bullshit, he would never be able to secure a

About half an hour later, Christian Robinson arrived at the Robinson company. The parking lot was filled with several cars. He could spot a few cars that he hadn't seen in a very long time, certainly, everyone had been invited to the meeting. Who was still in the car when Potter's call came in again, "I'm here already, Potter," he replied. "Good, because the meeting is about to begin and everyone is waiting for you," he said, "I managed to sneak into the conference room and disrupt the power for a few minutes but it won't last long," he said. "Was the meeting going to be held without me?" Christian asked, wondering how it would have turned out if Potter did not call him. "I guess so, everyone was assembled and Jupiter arrived a few minutes ago. I had to mess with the power just to buy you some time," he replied. "Thank you very much, Potter, thank you for always being helpful," Chris said and ended the call. He had no idea what he had done right to the universe to grant him such

Christian Robinson left the Robinson company that afternoon much more of a man than he ever was. Sonya had not only accepted the challenge but openly gave her word to step down if he could indeed seal the Otec deal. A few minutes after the meeting, all the men filtered out of the conference room, some muttering between themselves, others staring at Christian, puzzled. Christian stood at the front porch, waiting for Potter to pick him up after placing a call. He was not anywhere in sight, soon, he saw a white Bentley pull up close to him and he stood straight, he had an idea who it was. Sure enough, a man dressed in a white suit and a pair of white boots stepped out of the car and opened the back. He was not one of the orbits, Christian could surely recognize all six of them after several close encounters. Christian didn't move away from the porch where he stood, it would be a sign of weakness, so he remained still and watched Sonya get out of the backseat. She had been the first

The days passed rather quickly, and the night was spent in worry and anxiety. Christian Robinson could barely get any sleep after the emergency meeting when Jupiter made that declaration. Each day passed by with him in front of his laptop, following all the locations that his investigators had sent him to help him track down the Berlin company. And if he wasn't staring at his PC screen then he was driving down the street of California and even beyond, hoping to find some clue. Two weeks had gone and Christians still had nothing, all the information he got only led him to several dead ends. The Berlin company was indeed virtual, many even suspected that it was being owned by a mafia family or it was a drug and weapon syndicate, that was why they were so big on privacy. But Christian was not going to give up that easy, he still took the road trip each day and made sure his investigators were working tirelessly to get him something concrete. On a Saturday, the weekend of the second w

The pub was a good distance from Christian, he drove for about forty-six minutes before he could see the weak neon light from the dilapidated signpost. He turned to the left and parked the car just beside an old hand-sprayed truck filled with stickers - no doubt that of a high school kid. Christian could see inside the pub from where he sat in her car, the engine still rumbling beneath him. The Russian detective was right, the place looked like it had seen better days and was barely holding on by a thread. From the dirty glass window ridden with cracks and stains, he could see about four patrons on the barstool by the bar and a few others littered the small room. Christian pulled out his hat from the glove compartment and threw it on, picked out a few changes and his wallet, and moved inside the pub. Looking around the porch, he could see that the place had truly once been a club, there was an old mark where the sign had been by the door, JK Club, and beside it was a silhouette of

Shirley could recognize the man from the very first minute he stepped into the pub that evening. But she didn't expect him to know her either. She'd hoped her grand aunt wouldn't make her serve him but then the old woman could not be that kind. "Shirley! Take two beers to the gentleman that just walked in, make yourself useful around here!" She snapped and Shirley left the backroom where she was washing glasses. Grabbing two bottles of beer from the refrigerator which was more of an oven with the heat emanating from it, she went to the table and dropped it. As she rose, she could see his sharp black eyes bore into hers and she gasped, nearly dropping the glass in that shock. "Do I know you?" He asked and she felt her heart hammer wildly in her chest, "I don't think so, sir." She muttered and quickly left the table as she heard her grand-aunt yell at her about someone in the backyard again. But she couldn't get away just that easily, the man called out to her yet again and insisted

Sonya couldn't believe her eyes, she gasped and that was how she fell into the orbit who was right behind her. One of them caught her swiftly and everyone quickly called for the company doctor. Chris remained calm. She was just in shock and would no doubt be revived with a little air and water. He could only imagine what it felt like to be thrown down after such years in power. "Where have you been, son?" Pa Pete asked and Julius only smiled. He was a spitting image of his twin, Evans Robinson and he didn't look like the years had treated him badly at all. Some of the men on the table who knew that their hands were stained and they'd been working with Sonya to condemn Christian, all looked down in shame because they could face him or Julius. "Now that you're back, what will be the fate of the executive board?" One of them mustered the courage to ask. But that wasn't really what he meant and everyone could tell. He was trying to find out what Julius would do to them that had gotten

Evans was a little shaky as the man took them to the inner recess of the tunnel and it became dark. Christian could still remember the way to Orton and he certainly could tell that it wasn't the same route they were being taken. "What's going on? Aren't we meeting with Orton anymore?" He asked and the man simply looked at them without saying anything. Christian swallowed nervously but quietly followed him until they got to a part of the tunnel where the light became brighter and they could see a glass room in the distance. Right through the glass sat an old man at a desk, Orton. "While I still breathe," Evans said as he entered the glass cave. "I never thought I'd see you after so many years, I could swear you vowed never to see the Robinson family again." Orton looked at them quietly and then offered them both the double-seated couch, asking if they needed a strong Irish coffee. "We'll be needing more than a cup of coffee from you," Evans replied with a serious face. He pulled ou

Evans had a plan and that plan was foolproof - or so they both believed. Right there in the living room, Christian showed the token to Evans and after he stared at it in awe, he said it would take them right to Berlin. They arrived at the small town the next day. Evans was in the front seat and Christian was in the driver's seat. His face was twisted in an ugly frown. "I told you to let Potter drive us, he's more mature on the wheel, we almost had an accident on the way here, I hate to think what will happen as we return," Evans said as he stepped out of the vehicle. "I hate this place, I could almost swear nothing would ever bring me back here," he spat angrily. Evans laughed at him, "Never say never, my son, life can be a rollercoaster sometimes," he said. Christian wiped at his head, a bead of perspiration had formed from the warm air. He pulled off his sunglasses and stared at the small pub that still stood in the distance. Karen was still in business and that only meant one t

It was four days after the legendary meeting at the Robinson lobby. Christian hadn't shown up at the company for that long. It made Jupiter happy that one thing she'd hoped for had worked out - Christian was too embarrassed to come back out. That fateful afternoon, Christian was at the Robinson estate after such a long time. If there was ever going to be a time he needed Evans' help, it was then. Arriving at the door, it was Melissa who welcomed him in and he nodded at her mutely and crossed the threshold. "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Christian," Melissa said as she ushered him in. Christian didn't say anything still. He didn't want to talk to her, he was in too sore a mood too. "I know what...how it went last time was not ideal. I know you trusted me with...well, I disappointed you and tried to cause a rift between you and Evans, I'm sorry," she said. Christian again simply nodded. Melissa sighed, she looked remorseful. She was dressed in a sheer green gown and shaw

Sonya did not look so confident anymore, her weak bones trembled and she quickly grabbed onto the desk for support. Christian still wore a smirk on his face as his grandfather, Pa Pete looked warily at the document on the desk."You got the deal?" He asked, his tone disbelieving. Christian did not reply, at least not verbally, he remained standing with a smile on his face. "This is ridiculous!" Sonya yelled, "There is no way this boy could secure a deal with Otec, there is also no way in hell that he knows Orton Berlin," she snapped. Christian dipped his hands into his breast pocket and retrieved the token that Orton had given to him, he did not bother handing it to her but simply slammed it on the table. With shaky wrinkled hands, Sonya picked up the token, she turned pale, her eyes wide in shock. "But how! I have been dying to meet this man all my life, how could you get the Supreme token?" Sonya asked, still in disbelief. "You are not the only one that can weasel your way into p

Sonya took the flowers and had half the mind to toss it in his face but she had to reign in her temper. She instead snatched it up aggressively and tossed it at one of the Orbits who held it like it burned. "What do you have to say concerning the challenge you called, Christian? Are you having a change of heart?" She asked and immediately one of the board members said loudly, "He can't do that! The entire board knows about it and we won't allow such cowardice!" The man snapped. "Who said anything about backing out?" Christian asked and the man began to stammer foolishly before sitting down. Jupiter was pleased with the way they all treated Chris, everyone was attacking him. "Will we all let him speak?" Pete snapped, his voice rising above the others. Christian rose and nodded at the roses he'd just gifted Sonya, "I picked those out myself, it's a shame you won't even appreciate it," he said and Sonya rolled her eyes, "I didn't recall asking you for any flowers, Chris, last I checke

Pa Pete was hesitant to begin the proceedings of the meeting and everyone on the table noticed, especially Chris who was just right beside him.Sonya must have noticed too because she smiled and said mockingly, "Are your feet getting heavier for you, Pa Pete? Perhaps it's not just your grandson that needs replacing, you too might be getting a little too old for that seat." Pete ignored her and looked at Christian who calmly nodded at him, a silent approval to commence the meeting. There was no need to wait, it wouldn't change the outcome of the meeting anyway. The orbits were right behind Jupiter, all six of them stood like rods, stuff, unyielding, with their hands crossed. Pete looked at them scornfully and then cleared his throat a little too loud. "Is there something you have to say? We don't have all day, Pete." Sonya said, her lips still bearing the same smile she'd exited the vehicle with that morning. "I think we all know what I'm about to say," Pete said, looking at member

Hope is a formidable force, even a single ray can light up the darkest abyss. Christian Robinson could attest to this as he woke up that morning, feeling a lot better than he'd slept. He had a feeling that the world was aligning right where it ought to be and he was at the helm of it all - where he'd always wanted. "Sir, your suit just arrived," his servant bowed as he entered the room. Christian hadn't heard him knock but he was sure he had, he'd no doubt been too lost in thought to hear. "Thank you, I'll be right out." He replied and the man nodded as he left. He looked again at the mirror and smirked, his crisp white shirt was tucked beautifully into his black trousers, and his shoe just a little shiny. He'd called back his servants the previous evening just as he'd gotten that token from Berlin. He had a feeling his life was about to change for good, he had a gut feeling. Christian left the room and took the suit from the servant as he got to his car - he'd decided he was dri

The exit of the tunnel led to a small boutique that was on the outskirts of town, close to where the train station was. As he climbed up to the stairwell and pushed the door open, he noticed that no one seemed interested in him even though they'd seen him crawl out of the ground. The receptionist at the desk simply looked at him blankly as he walked out the door and Christian figured that the establishment belonged to Orton, a way of making the tunnel he'd made. It was a brilliant idea, there was no way someone could guess that there was an entire world down there, an entire company. Chris could not get to his car that morning, he'd barely been able to get home in time for a change of outfit before he headed down to Otec - again. This was his second time parked outside the gigantic building and he didn't fail to marvel at the beauty of it all. He sighed as he pulled out the proposal from his dashboard and clutched the token that Orton had given him firmly in his grip. Coming down
