The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 132: THE AUTOMOBILE SHOP’S OWNER
Half an hour later and the owner of the automobile shop drove his black Mercedes Benz G-Class MSRP which costs $150,000 down to the shop and parked right behind the last Jeep in Anthony's convoy.He was a very short man, less than five feet tall, whose feet could barely even manage to touch the pedals of his car, and the size of the vehicle he chose to drive while being his size just speaks volumes about the type of person he was. From all the signs he's portrayed, he fits perfectly into the stereotype of a typical short angry person who drives a big car as a means of compensating for his low self-esteem and worth. And just as the typical stereotype type, he also happens to be short-tempered, getting angry most of the time for the littlest of things, just like right now.During the call, the sales rep in the yellow suit didn't relay much information and just told him that he had to come to the shop with immediate effect then cut the call abruptly and that was the start of his anger.

The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 133: CAN’T BE SOLD!
"Pardon my bad manners, I told you to come to sit but I forgot to lay out the chair for you," Anthony said, both palms pressed together in an apologetic way and a sincere look on his face.The owner gulped "It's no problem, I can just stand while we do the business—" Anthony cut him short, dropping his hands and leaning closer to the side where the sales rep who wore yellow and had his head pressed against the ground in a bow was."My mentor always taught me to be hospitable to people I'm meeting for the first time, so here," Anthony said then tapped the yellow suit-wearing sales rep on the shoulder, making him look up at him. Looking straight into the sales rep's eyes, Anthony said "What are you doing, your boss needs a seat so get him one" he said in a threatening tone."Yes sir!" The sales rep replied, nodding his head vigorously then rushed, crawling behind the owner of the shop and positioning himself like a chair. On all fours, he started smiling from ear to ear because he though
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 134: THE OWNER’S CHOICE
The manager groveled with shame "I'm sorry sir, I just wanted to get back at him because I thought he was being a smart ass. If only I had known what would end up happening then I never would have tried to mess with someone like him, never!" The manager said, trying his best to get up "Regardless of saying all that, I don't care if I get beaten up more but we can't sell that bike to someone else. The buyer is going to kill us if we do!" He said and instantly the owner felt a cold chill run down his spine."W-what do you mean?" The owner asked and Anthony became very curious about who this buyer could be. "Who paid to have the bike?"Finally, after so many tries, the manager found a way to get up to his feet, swaying but still managing to maintain balance. This took a lot out of him the way he kept panting "Being in this line of work you get introduced to certain people who could have the money to buy the type of vehicles we oftentimes sell. Among those are dangerous people which you sh
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 135: THE OSWALDS
Anthony who after leaving the automobile shop had also gone to buy a small phone he could use, for the time being, drove his bike back to the Maple estate, parking beside Julius' car which had been the exact one whose left headlight was smashed apart by him in a fit of rage, a month ago. The time was 6 p.m. and as such, the sky was already looking dark, but the mansion right there in front of him had so many security lights blaring in all directions that it allowed Anthony to see something peculiar in the car.At first, he had thought that this was a shadow playing tricks on his eyes but curious to find out the truth, he reached out a finger and he touched it. Anthony smirked in contact with the car because even though Julius had tried his best to get that part fixed, there was still a little dent that couldn't be taken out."This has gotta sting, huh Julius?" Anthony mumbled with a huge grin on his face, chuckling then turned to his motorcycle, placing his hand on the black leather s
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 136: BENJAMIN’S RESOLVE
"How many times do I have to tell you to shut up about that nonsense rumor you, stupid son of mine?! I swear you make me so ashamed for easing you! How can you believe some nonsense a simple maid wench told you as a way to ingratiate herself to you, huh? Think son!" Benjamin's father yelled, rebuking him and his words.Thinking that the Maples were still above their family and because they are relatively new money and the youngest family to ever make it into the hierarchy, all thanks to the deal Benjamin brokered with Mr. Rose Dana, Benjamin's father didn't want to do anything that would make an enemy of the Maples.He didn't want her to use her family's influence in the Polaris world against his family and the fact that the maids were all talking about how she was having dinner with Mr. Rose Dana just some hours ago, struck so much fear in his heart when they were being escorted to their audience with Patience that he couldn't force himself to fathom that what Benjamin was saying coul
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 137: THE CALL
They all almost slammed into each other but Anthony who was already expecting them did what he could to evade them."What's the rush for? You should all be careful when walking in someone else's home" Anthony said as a passing remark, looking uninterested in them then tried to leave but Benjamin who was the only one among his family who recognized who Anthony was, stepped in front of him and blocked his path."What are you doing son?" Benjamin's father asked before getting a good look at Anthony and the silver hair which was the feature Benjamin had used to describe his assailant to them. It was then he too realized who this was. "Wait a minute, you're the one who beat my son up weren't you?!"Benjamin's father saying that kicked his wife's defensive instinct and she started frowning at Anthony, mad at what he had done to her favorite son, a fact she didn't hide that she favored Benjamin over his, not as impressive older brother."You bastard, how dare you to lay a hand on my son!" She
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 138: THE FALL OF THE OSWALDS
Even though ridiculing Anthony was fun, this was an important call that Benjamin's father knew he wouldn't want to delay answering, and so he answered right away, raising and pressing the phone against his ear. "What is it, Mr. Thomas?" He said with a smile.Mr. Thomas, the family's accountant's voice was very gentle when he communicated all he wanted to Benjamin's father, and the next thing the rest of the Oswald family members who were still busy laughing at Anthony knew was that the father had frozen in shock, eyes widened, looking like he had passed out while standing and then his phone dropped from his hand, damaging the screen on impact with the floor."Huh?! Dad?" Benjamin and the rest of the family looked at his father's sudden change and immediately, all of them could tell that something was wrong. The call hadn't been terminated and Mr. Thomas' voice could still be heard coming from the phone around their feet, pulling their attention to all look at it.Benjamin couldn't ben
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 139: PANIC ATTACK
"Tell me, who was that you just called? How did you manage to do this so quickly? Who are you?!" Benjamin was going crazy, stepping closer and grabbing Anthony's shirt with both hands, looking like he was about to cry.Anthony remained the same way he's been for the last few minutes, looking at him with disgust "I already warned you, didn't I? Keep my wife's name out your mouth but you refused to listen, and now you'll have to live with the consequences of your actions" Anthony said with an indifferent tone, rolling his eyes and slapping a melancholic Benjamin's hands off his person, then he started walking away.Benjamin dropped to his knees in despair and his father who couldn't contain all the emotions he was having going through his mind started to have a panic attack, falling to the floor and struggling to breathe."Hunny?""Dad?"Benjamin's mother and brother both rushed to the father to try and help him but Benjamin who had been completely defeated ignored all of them. He remai

Abraham rose from his chair and looked at Johnathan with shock."Master Johnathan, what do you mean by that?! Are you seriously giving up on all of this and want to return home?!" Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

"Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking? For reminding me how I had to listen to your stupid complaints which made my brain melt all those time, watch this" Bradly said then stepped away from Johnathan and in the process, he brought out his phone and raised it in front of everyone.Bradly quickly went to the Bubble Tv platform, found a certain video, copied the link, and then sent it as a comment underneath the post on the scho

Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
