The Ruling families of all Seven Kingdoms, the Midnight family especially are so high class and high status that they are the definition of what high status is, and as such, information about them barely leaves their castle or gets into the public ear that isn’t what they want to be out there.

At this point, it’s even rarer for that information to go beyond their borders so being as far away as Polaris is from any of the Kingdoms, it’s no wonder Anthony’s mind didn’t instantly go to the thought that the name Franklin had called him was the same name that belongs to the ruling family of the number one kingdom, The Kingdom of Night.

Anthony gave a low energy laugh like the rug had just been pulled from under him after having just been shocked to the limit by this revelation “I guess what you said earlier about my health being the most important thing in the world is starting to make sense now”

Franklin nodded his head in agreement

    “You don’t have to look so happy about that information Master Anthony,” Franklin said after seeing the huge grin that Anthony had from being told that the Maples were his slaves Anthony quickly sighed to calm himself from his overexcited state “You’re right, there’s no need to fantasize about anything I’m going to do with that type of power when I already have it, so I’ll just wait until the time comes” “What will you do then, Master Anthony?” Anthony had a wicked smirk adorned his face “I’ll make my fantasies into reality and I know just who the first person is going to be” he said and the image of Marilyn flashed across his mind. Their conversation had been going on for a while now so one of the hostesses walked up to them with a bottle of a very expensive champagne in hand while another came with a trey with only two glasses on it. They felt like the two guests would require refreshments by now and as the best in the business they act automatically without being asked first. “

    In a rush, Anthony turned his entire body to him but even in such a situation was still able to maintain his bearings and check Franklin’s vitals as the first and most important thing to do right now. He licked the back of his hand to get it wet then extended it to Franklin’s nose, getting less than an inch away from making contact and he did this to check if Franklin was breathing or not. He would need to keep his hand there for at least five seconds in case he was breathing slowly so with those five seconds he turned to the head hostess. “Franklin told me that you’re all the best in this business so I’m sure you’ll be calm and level-headed about this, now tell me, did any of you see what happened?” He asked while having a threatening stare. The possibility could be that Franklin might have been poisoned but he didn’t want to jump to that conclusion because if there was poisoning involved then he too would have been a victim, but the fact that he was okay says contrary to that idea

    Finally, Anthony took his first steps into the Manor and was captivated by all the art pieces and the priceless antics that were used as decorations. These were all items that he knew people would go bankrupt in auctions just to purchase but here they were, used as ornaments, showing how different level of high class the Midnight family is. "Did you just say that you have a surprise for me?" Anthony asked as he walked closer to Franklin and the man smirked, turning around to face a particular direction. "Come, Anthony, lemme give you a tour of the place first, the surprise can come later towards the end. Wouldn't you like to see what the place your Grandfather stayed in before he passed away looks like?" Franklin asked then gestured that he joins him and yet again Anthony was getting an apprehensive sense towards him which was caused by what he was saying. To Anthony, Franklin's mannerisms seem to have completely changed after he woke up with the nosebleed, and even the way he carri

    Left under Franklin's and the mysterious lady's control wasn't a comforting situation to be in and hours later, Anthony was just beginning to regain his consciousness with the first stimuli he rediscovered being sound. What he could hear was a muffled-sounding conversation between two people and then a noise like someone was handling some sort of small hand-held item. He groaned in an inaudible voice, slowly moving his body to try and get into a comfortable state because currently he wasn't but in his attempt, strangely he felt something restricting him. Thinking more of that sensation he realized that his arms were locked up by something around their wrists and raised above his head, meanwhile, below he could feel his feet barely touching the ground. Whatever he was strapped to caused him to only be able to be on his toes. As the seconds went by and his dulled senses now gaining progress, returned to what they used to be, he was starting to hear and understand better what the conver

    Franklin(HE) instantly took his hands from being interlocked by their fingers behind his back to clapping at Anthony fervently and smiling proudly “There is it, you finally got to the truth and now I can be satisfied with everything I’ve done to get to this moment. Tell me, don’t you also think that it’s boring when you’re putting all this effort into something and no one even notices? What a shame” he said, shaking his head then finally stopped clapping, having a massive grin on his face as he stuffed his hands into his pockets “At least I can trust you Midnight heirs to always know me”“!!” Anthony had nothing to say but stare at him disgustingly, curious as to what his intentions were for infiltrating Franklin’s mind.Suddenly, the both of them started to hear a vehicle driving by and coming to a stop somewhere close to the manor, parked but with the engine still left running and then driving off within seconds of parking which left Anthony to ponder but Franklin(HE) was smirking b

    HE tiredly dropped his head, sighing in the process “Where did you get your manners from? There’s a particular timeline to a story so don’t go interrupting or rushing the end plot, just lemme ride until I finish, then you can ask your questions.” He said, sneering at Anthony then went back to sitting upright but his legs remained crossed.“As I was saying, Luke Midnight did disgusting and evil things with the power he had found. I guess being the number one out of all seven progenitor families went to his head and using his power, the same one you’ve inherited but haven’t gotten to the level that he had he manipulated cities, countries, and the rest into chaos. Ever wondered why wars start like they come out of nowhere? Hitler and the rest, do you think all those things just happen out of nowhere?” HE asked, waiting on Anthony’s reply.Hearing the contents of the story HE had just said, Anthony ended up having a questioning stare and a hint of disbelief which influenced the next thing

  • The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 97: JASON’S TRIAL

    A couple days later, inside one of the Polaris city judiciary courts' courtrooms, Jason was standing trial on charges of violence, possession, and firing of a dangerous firearm, endangering the public, minors especially as well as lying to the police and framing someone else for all said crimes.However, because the person he tried to frame, Anthony, wasn’t here to testify and give his accounts of the incident, they had no choice but to drop that charge and went to judge the rest offenses which was plenty enough.While Jason sat in the defendant's box, wearing the detention uniform and looking pitiable to everyone else in the audience, his rapidly blinking eyes couldn’t stop being fixed on one particular spot in the courtroom. He was staring at a man wearing a very expensive trench coat, leather gloves, a hat that covered most of his face and having an imposing presence to the point that the nearest audience had to sit at least a couple feet away from him, on all sides.This mysterious

    The judge saw that the way Jason kept scrolling his neck to the right ever so slightly looked like he wanted to turn around, but then, the judge also took his eyes and glared at a particular group of people who were seated and had acted as the eyewitnesses to the case, all together on the third row. This included the manager of The Nostalgia cinema, Todd as well as Corner who had all given their accounts and were just waiting for the verdict to be said, same as everyone. So, noticing them the judge thought that those were the ones Jason was stopping himself from looking at, an assumption made because two out of those three used to be his friends as claimed by the police but right now, none of them saw themselves as being that. Unknown to the judge, there was only one person in the entire courtroom that kept on drawing Jason's attention, up to the point that he couldn’t even focus on his trial and it was none other than the mysterious man wearing a trench coat whose eyes were fixed on

    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
