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 Midnight Heir CHAPTER 98: HUNT FOR A SILVER FUR FOX
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
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 99: MURRAY THE SONG BIRD
Because of the trial and having to act as eyewitnesses Todd, Corner, and the Nostalgia cinema’s manager who was named Murray had started to hit it off and become somewhat friendly with each other which isn’t hard to believe because of the age difference between them wasn’t that much, Murray being twenty-one and both teenage boys being seventeen about to turn eighteen. Todd and Corner didn’t have any friends at school and became friends themselves thanks to Jason bringing them together but in truth, they were more like his lackeys and had gotten tired of being that, hence the retaliation. Murray was socially awkward and focused on work so that he could rise to the position of manager quickly and so he didn’t have time or the skills to make friends. These two were the closest thing to friends that he could get and he was happy that the unfortunate situation of a cinema shooting brought them this close. He had also formed a friendly relationship with Tina and Jerry so he had no reason n
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 100: TESSA’S UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER
A couple days after Jason's trial and incarceration, at the late hours of the evening in Neon Grove, Tessa was standing on her usual spot and beside her was the same Night walker who had asked if she knew Anthony the day he came to lodge in the Untitled Hotel.Today was another slow day so no clients were popping out yet and the two of them used a small amount of their time in their hands to stare at the last floor of the Untitled Hotel, at Anthony's room 28 specifically but just like the last couple of days that room has not been lit, meaning that the entire building was vacant."It's been a whole weak since he left and he still hasn't returned yet" Tessa mumbled, looking oddly down about Anthony disappearance.The other lady named Cortney turned to her while giving a skeptical stare "What's up with this strange interest in the Silver hair? Weren't you the one who advised me not to get involved with him because he looked broke, so what happened now?" She scrunched her face.Feeling a
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 101: CLONE SAGA
Back at The Oat Stone Manor, Anthony had been in the same spot, shackled for a whole week now. Most of the time, the tightness of his shackles would be greatly reduced and he would actually be on the floor, resting. Only when HE needs to extract another syringe of Anthony’s blood would the chains be tightened again and he be forced to get into that uncomfortable position so that he wouldn’t be able to defend himself.Because of this resting periods, his left hand had gotten a good amount of time it needs to heal and was now about halfway there to complete healing. Also, another time when he’s forced to be in that uncomfortable position with both arms raised and made to be on his toes is when he’s getting washed, just like he is right now.“I can’t even tell what time it is because there’s no windows in here but I’m guessing it’s got to be hitting a week now” Anthony monologued while the white haired girl bathe him which means he was butt naked in front of both her and HE right now.HE
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 102: THE FINAL DAY
Another week went by and all Anthony could think of was how fast the time was running, especially now that his life is on the line. Since the start of the second week of his kidnapping and blood withdrawal, HE had been showing up not as frequently as the first week and this was because the moment the truth was told to Anthony, there was nothing more interesting for HE to by doing sticking around. For the most part, the taking of Anthony’s blood had become the job of the girl with white hair and she both bathe him and gave him food to eat. Also, she could stop him if he tries to do anything counter productive for them like fight back or try to escape which he did try multiple times the first week but was unsuccessful. So now, Anthony has been seeing more of her then HE and he’s curiosity on her kept increasing. At this moment, she had just taken the plate he had eaten from and wanted to walk out when he spoke to her for the first time since his kidnapping. Usually, Anthony only spoke
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 103: HER FIRST WORDS
Because she’s the one who has been in charge of watching and taking care of Anthony up until this point, the keys to his shackles had been inside the left chest pocket of the white gown she had been wearing since the first day. She had many of that same dress and for reasons best known to her, she only wore them and nothing else.Even her feet were bare but no matter how long or what the texture of the ground is like she’s been walking around that way and there hasn’t been a single injury or blister made on them. Her skin was very tough.She reached into the pocket and brought out the key while at the same time going ahead to lower Anthony so that she could actually reach the shackles locked around his wrists, meanwhile, seeing this happening right in front of his eyes, HE was dumbfounded."Wait a minute, did his power just evolve like his grandfather’s and he's using it to control he— No, that's not possible! Even if the reason is different, just like Franklin both of our powers shou
The Midnight Heir CHAPTER 104: FIGHT FOR CONTROL
"Franklin's your Father?! How can he be your father when there hasn't been any hint of that type of relationship between you two?!" Anthony asked out, finding it hard to believe what the girl and Franklin's relationship really was because the the only connection he had seen them have for the whole month he had been kidnapped was one of semblance to a master and servant.Even though HE had taken over Franklin's body, HE only made the fact that he had done so known to Anthony during his bragging episodes and wouldn't speak on it when she was around. Also, for the past month, any time Anthony tried to speak to her, wanting to bring up the same topic as a way of making her an ally so that she would free him, their conversation never goes anywhere and this is because she doesn't say anything back or respond to him.Assuming she doesn't know that Franklin's body had been taken over by HE then Anthony was expecting that she would have been acting daughterly to HE while thinking that it was F
