The Midnight Heir CAMERA FLASH
Just hearing Annabelle's name being mentioned made Anthony impatient."Did anything happen to Annabelle Mr. Dana? There couldn't have because you're the one who took her home, right?" Anthony asked, pulling the phone closer to his face while he breathed heavily."Master Anthony is correct so what's the matter, Dana? There's no way the Master's lover isn't safe when you're the one put in charge of protecting her and taking her home so what does all of this mean?" Rollow asked, sounding a bit angry after his thoughts had gone to negative scenarios.["No Master Anthony, don't take what I said the wrong way and concerning Miss Annabelle's safety all I know is that she's in good condition. I even made sure to threaten her family so that none of them would dare lay a finger on her—"] Mr. Rose Dana said but Anthony who was feeling even more impatient quickly cut him off."If that's not the case then what is it? What's happening to Annabelle that made you bring her up out of nowhere, Mr. Dana?
The Midnight Heir TOUR CANCELED
"Boss, that's the motorcycle over there!" Said the driver of a black Audi Sedan as he pointed to the license plate of Anthony's motorcycle to the man seated in the back seat.This person he was pointing the Motorcycle to had a black nose mask on and was wearing an expensive suit and everything about him blended with the darkness of the back seat but when he leaned forward to get a closer look, it turns out this man was Richard the loan shark.Richard smirked through his nose mask, saying "I warned you to watch your back you animal and now I've come to make you pay for what you did to me and my boys"Suddenly, through the communicator Richard had in his hand all the drivers from the three cars behind him started to voice out, asking him if it was time they go find Anthony and beat him up."Come on boss, just give the order and let's go fuck that maniac up!" Said an enraged Sonny who drove the last car in the lineup, furiously gripping the staring wheel as he remembered what Anthony did
The Midnight Heir RICHARD BEGS
"Boss, what are you doing?! Why's your head on the—" Sonny who couldn't believe what he was seeing his boss do start to panic and asked, riling up the other goons who murmured in confusion about Richard's actions, but before he could finish Richard quickly kicked him in the chin and stood up.Richard pulled on his ear as hard as possible and said: "Will all of you shut your dirty mouths! Don't you know who these men we're privileged to be in the presence of are?" Richard asked with a vein popping on his head."Nah boss, all I see are some rich old geezers and the target right in front of us and I don't know why we aren't jumping him yet," Sonny said after Richard had let go then he tugged his metal chain which was twice as long and as big as the one he had earlier at the restaurant.Amongst themselves, Richard and his men started to argue, and Rollow and Quinn who couldn't get what Sonny had said out of their heads both looked at each other skeptically then they looked at Richard."If
The Midnight Heir SONNY FIRED
"What?!" Sonny exclaimed when the revelation was made about who Anthony truly was.He got so angry and stopped thinking for a second that he wanted to get up and do something about it but the security right next to him pressed the nozzle of the gun against his head so he couldn't even move an inch."How in the world is a guy like this anyone's master?! This has to be a big joke! Y'all need to stop messing with us" Sonny huffed, hands clenched as he couldn't accept Anthony.Meanwhile, Richard who was dejected and didn't know what to do because his hatred for Anthony was conflicting with his need to be on Rollow and Quinn's good side couldn't help himself but sigh."Hey Sonny, keep quiet for a second and lemme think," Richard said, wanting some silence so that he could think about what to do about the situation they were in but Sonny wouldn't listen, instead the man got even angrier."Huh, what are you talking about boss? Have you forgotten what we came here for? Don't tell me you've al
The Midnight Heir PROVE YOURSELF USEFUL
What Anthony just did was enough to destroy any feeling of support some of the guys in the loan shark enforcement group had for Sonny so those who were about to stand due to Sonny's motivating words quickly remained knees planted on the ground."You think I was betraying you but what I was doing was for all our sakes. We can't go against someone like this" Richard mumbled as he looked at Sonny, unconscious on the ground, and shook his head in pityWhen he had seen enough, Richard sighed before dropping his head to the ground, seeming utterly defeated."I don't know if I can call you this but I might anyway. Please, Master Anthony, forgive me and my guys for daring to come attack you when it was well within your right to do what you did at the restaurant. What I did was wrong business practice and I see that now so I wish to beg for leniency" Richard begged and one by one, all nine of his guys also groveled at Anthony's feet to beg for mercy.They begged for three minutes straight whil
The Midnight Heir MERCURY HOTEL
When they had their privacy back, both Rollow and Quinn started to clap for Anthony."That was a better turn of events than I would have expected Master Anthony" Rollow commented and Quinn quickly looked at him skeptically."What are you trying to say Rollow? Are you looking down on Master Anthony's capabilities to handle situations like these? You should really beg for forgiveness if that's the case!" Quinn said while looking annoyed about what his friend had said.Rollow on the other hand scoffed "Absolutely not. I'll be mad before I look down on what the master can do, not after the feat he showcased back in the casino""Then what was your remark about Mr. Rollow?" Anthony asked and Rollow looked at him."I just thought you were going to teach those idiots a painful lesson for disrespecting you. That's what I would have done if I was in your shoes but I guess you had better plans in mind that I hadn't thought of. I suppose that's what makes you the master and I your humble servant"
The Midnight Heir GUSTAV’S SHOP
It didn't take long for Anthony to reach Gustav's shop after leaving the Casino because just as he said to Rollow, it wasn't that far from the Jade Casino.In Polaris, businesses usually aren't that far away from one another, especially walk-in businesses that are patronized by rich customers.It is like an ecosystem intentionally created because a customer who's willing to spend a lot in a casino will also want to spend just as much to look good or eat the best and most foods.Anthony came off his motorcycle and walked into the shop then he went straight for the men's wear section, looking for a suit that would fit his body and the date perfectly. His plan after that was that he was going to go to the women's wear section to find a beautiful dress for Annabelle as well.He quickly did a scan around, looking for something that wouldn't clash with his silver-colored hair and the selection he made was a light grey pants suit worth $100,000 which even without wearing it, he could already
The Midnight Heir SUIT RETURNED
"Gustav!" Anthony said the moment he locked eyes with Gustav, but unlike him, the designer was hunched over, panting from having run and temporarily abandoned his current work just to come to see Anthony."It's good to see you again Master Anthony. I didn't think I would ever get the chance of this meeting after a month went by and you didn't call for me like you said you would after our time together at the hospital" Gustav said, smiling from ear to ear as he wiped the tear forming in his eyes before he took in a deep breath then huffed and stood upright."Regardless, you're still the master and I believe wholeheartedly that you must have had your reason." Gustav's said then cleared his throat."A lot of things happened within that time Gustav but it doesn't matter right now—" Anthony said but before he could finish, Gustav's two assistants from that time at the hospital walked into the shop's main area through the same door that Gustav's just ran out through.Alongside them was also
