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
The Midnight Heir TRIPLETS
Inside the Brothel headquarters, Buzz was on his knees, head down while wincing and gritting his teeth as he held back some tears. He was avoiding eye contact with two women who were scolding him and at the same time whipping him with a cane.This wasn’t a normal cane either, it was more like a short whip with blades all over its body. Buzz was made to kneel shirtless with his underwear and shoes being the only thing on his body, which meant that every stroke of the whip inflicted cuts and wounds on his skin.“You stupid piece of shit, how dare you to come back here without bringing that bitch along and making sure she’s a bloody mess!” said the woman with the whip and a scary scowl.“Even I would have done a better job if I had been the one who went after her! Why can’t we ever trust these stupid men to do their job right, huh sister?” Said the second woman who had a jug of lemon juice in her hand which she poured on Buzz whenever her sister whips him.“Beats me, sister, they’re utte
The Midnight Heir HOLE IN THE WALL
They were all shocked, wondering why the call was coming in now. Who could it be that could access the Untitled Hotel that was coming around and those in charge had to start passing the message to everyone of importance?“What are you waiting for?! Go answer the call damn it!” Britney yelled at her sisters and Kate ran to the phone, stepping on the scantily dressed drug-addicted girls on her way there.She lifted the glass dome and dropped it on the floor then she held the headphone, raising them to her ear but before she could say anything, the call was terminated.They took too long to answer and if they want to find out what the message revealing exactly who it was that they were being warned about then they will have to wait a couple more minutes before they call back.The callers will all be busy getting the message across to everyone that should know about it so the sisters will have to give them time to finish that first before they’re free to answer their call.“You idiots was
The Midnight Heir FREED
Anthony walked up to Buzz’s resting body, kicked it in the ribs twice then stepped on his fingers to make sure that he was unconscious and that he wasn’t faking it. Once he confirmed that to be the case, Anthony looked down at Buzz with disappointed eyes. Not only did he go back on his promise of loyalty but he wasn’t even a worthy opponent to fight.“You should have just run away—“ Anthony said but was interrupted when all of a sudden..."Ahh!" All the scantily dressed drug-addicted girls in the middle of the room screamed, drawing Anthony’s attention to them.They were all on the floor together, squirming in fear of Anthony’s presence, and for each other’s emotional support, they clustered together, forgetting the fact they were just trying to kill each other over a small dose of drugs less than a minute ago.Anthony winced irritatingly and covered his ears when they screamed. He smacked his tongue out of annoyance then frowned at them when they wouldn’t stop and they were made to
