The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 144: ANTHONY AND TESSA
Anthony stopped right in front of the Untitled Hotel, parking his bike with the engine turned off while he reached into his pants pocket to bring out his access card. There's only one access card given to someone of high rank in the Mob and once you lose yours, it takes a lot of work to get a replacement, worse if your affiliation to the Mob that gave it to you in the first place is on the bad side which he is right now.The journey of his access card is that at the hospital when Anthony passed out, Franklin had taken out not only Annabelle's phone from his bloodied and torn pants but also the access card, and once Anthony changed into designer Gustav's clothes, Franklin gave it back to him. Because of the one month he spent being kidnapped, he never changed clothes until the one he changed into on the flight back to Polaris which he transferred the access card into, and the next change of clothes he had was his shirt alone when he saved Annabelle.Right now, he's wearing one of his
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 145: ONE PUNCH MAN
“Hey idiots, what the hell are you waiting for?! One of you better goes bring that whore to me now or else get smacked!” The Brothel Gang head yelled and the member at his far most right took it upon himself to take up the task. He separated himself from the others and started side-stepping closer to Anthony, while he lead with his metal pipe to scare Anthony off.They all stupidly ignored Anthony’s presence like he wasn’t a threat but Tessa who could only cling to him for dear life begged Anthony to save her. She was so close that he was able to feel her heart beating fast against his back.“Come here you bitch!” The gang member who was coming to fetch Tessa got right in front of Anthony and then extended a hand, trying to reach for Tessa behind him. He was smiling from the thoughts of what they were going to do to her.Tessa was extremely desperate for Anthony’s help and because he wasn’t budging, she did the last thing that she could think of.She said “If you help me then we’ll b
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 146: ANTHONY TRIUMPHANT
Out of the five who attacked Anthony at the same time, two swung for his knees, two for his elbows, and one for the back of the head.All of them used every ounce of strength they could muster, hoping to do as much damage as possible.The one who swung for his head wanted to kill Anthony in an instant. He had the lawlessness of Neon Grove as a morale booster because he knew nobody would snitch and the police wouldn’t take the case seriously.Their number was too much for Anthony to handle safely by himself without his power to read minds and so he had to sacrifice his limbs to protect his most valuable body part, his head.If he had had his power, Anthony would have seen what moves they were going to make and then plan a counterattack a split second ahead of time but sadly he didn’t.He had to rely on his fast reflex and reaction to time save him.He strengthened his legs so that both of his knees could take the blow without breaking and as for the other three body parts they targeted
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 147: THE SHOP MANAGER’S PLAN
The same evening at the automobile shop, the two sales reps were busy preparing the place to close for the night, and just as they were about to finish, coming in were the manager and the owner of the shop.The owner had taken the manager to the hospital just a couple of minutes after Anthony and his entourage had left. This is why the manager had all the bandages around his injuries and a bag of medication in his hand.“We were just waiting on you both,” the sales rep in a yellow suit said as he went to assist the manager but he didn’t have to because the manager was strong enough on his own. The manager gently declined with a gesture.The owner went to look at all the preparations they’d made for closing the shop and he saw that it was to his liking. However, it was obvious that there was a huge elephant in the room that none of them were willing to address and it showed on their faces.“Why did you guys come back when you could have just gone home to rest?” the sales rep in yellow
The Midnight Heir FIGHTING STYLES
“Umm, the thing about the—“ The sales rep in red stuttered, too afraid to be the one to complete what he was saying but suddenly, the manager walked up to him and placed his hand on his shoulder.“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this” the manager reassured him then went to Saul in the middle of the room who was looking around nonchalantly and trying to find the motorcycle he paid for.Two members of the security team, both the captain and vice-captain followed behind the manager to meet Saul while the rest had their eyes fixed on Saul because he matched the description of the person the manager had told them about.“We need to talk, Mr. Solomon,” the manager said and immediately Saul paused, looking ticked off.He turned to the manager, grimacing “Don’t call me by my father’s name again. I won’t warn you a second time” he said, staring down all three of them who walked up to him.Saul had so much confidence in himself and what he was capable of that the captain and vice-captain were beginnin
The Midnight Heir FOOTAGE
There was a separate room inside the manager's office called the FOOTAGE ROOM and that's where the hundreds of hard drives of recorded security feeds are kept.The automobile shop usually swaps their hard drives weekly so that means the drive currently connected to the security cameras is the one that has what Saul is looking for."Take it back to when it happened" Saul instructed, standing behind the owner of the shop while the owner sat on the leather office chair in front of a monitor.On the monitor was a section of live footage, displaying multiple angles of the shop's showroom and everyone laying unconscious on the ground while other sections showed some other places in the shop that customers are likely to enter."Alright, sir!" The owner replied, quickly obeying Saul's instructions and rewinding the footage to earlier in the day."Stop right there!" Saul said, pointing at the screen when it got to the part he wanted to see.The owner had wanted to rewind the footage to the mom
The Midnight Heir TESSA’S GIFT
Back at the Untitled Hotel, inside of Anthony's room he had sat Tessa on the bed while he treated the wound above her eyebrow with items he got from the first aid box right next to him.While he did that, she kept glancing at the bruises he had on his arms and the cut on the side of his eye because they were the only ones she could see while the rest were concealed by his clothes.She didn't say anything to him even though she couldn't keep her eyes from staring at him and no matter how she looks at it or how hard she tried to sway her mind, she found Anthony extremely attractive.His facial features looked comparatively feminine, especially now that his hair was grown out. Also saving her life didn't help her case whenever she tried to doubt her attraction for him in her mind.Tessa was a confident and almost self-absorbed woman so even though she wanted to blush, she was stopping herself by thinking about random things."That's it, I'm done," Anthony said as he finished treating her
The Midnight Heir TESSA’S BACKSTORY
It took more shots of the alcohol than he expected to make Tessa drunk and in the end, the entire bottle was empty but still, his plan worked.Once he got her drunk, years of using his power to guide conversations into whatever topic he wanted helped him lead the conversation into her opening up about what he wanted to know.He did it so well that she even ended up thinking that it was her idea to spill everything to him in the first place.She revealed how she got entangled with the Brothel in the first place about a year ago. How she needed money to look after her siblings after they ran away from their abusive father and alcoholic mother.She said how to protect her younger siblings, she affiliated herself with the most competent person in any area she found herself while using her body as a bargaining piece, and whether man or woman, it worked every single time.To make herself more indispensable, she started to realize that she could get information out of people with ease so tha
