The Midnight Heir SIT DOWN
Michael looked at Anthony with a confused expression."Favorite, you know these people?!" Michael asked, making the same shocked face that matched the same one Casey had."Favorite, how do you know these dangerous people?" Casey asked but was ignored by the one she wanted answers from, Anthony who was too dumbfounded to listen to any questions right now.The Overseer whose name was actually Victor looked at Anthony for a little while. He was smirking at how dispirited the silver haired man was at the moment and then he looked at Casey."A little favor from a customer, Miss. Call him by his real name, Anthony Star, from now on, okay? No more of that made-up rubbish that I'm sure he had The Busboys help him create, isn't that right, Tony?" The overseer said while Casey repeated Anthony's name to herself.She just like Michael was trying to figure out why he would lie and hide his true identity from everyone. Not just that, they also wondered how he was able to accomplish a feat like that
The Midnight Heir POKER FACE
Anthony looked above The Overseer's head like he wanted, focusing on the tip of the Overseer's pointing finger then sighed because he knew he wouldn't be able to read his thoughts.He didn't even attempt to do it because he had tried before with Benjamin Oswald and he remembered vividly what the outcome of that little experiment was and so there was no point in going through that torture again.Anthony lowered his gaze back to the Overseer's eyes and the man in front of him grimaced."That was fast! Let me guess, you didn't read it, did you?" An annoyed Overseer said then laughed "What? You think I'm not worth using your power on or what is this?!""Victor, listen—" Anthony said but was cut off."I said, look over my head and read what I'm thinking!" The Overseer commanded and Anthony huffed then looked above his head once more.Using his very strong poker face, Anthony acted like his power to read minds was still intact as he continued staring above The Overseer's head for seconds lo
The Midnight Heir BURNER PHONE
"I'm going to kill you then I'm going to find anyone you've ever formed a bond with and I'll tell them how disgusting your past was. I’ll watch their despair as they wonder if they should grieve for you or curse your name and when they think it’s over, I'll kill them too" The Overseer said and an image of Annabelle flashed through Anthony’s mind.‘I'm the reason he lost the only family he had so maybe it's fine if I let him get his revenge. Hopefully, that'll pull him out of this darkness’ Anthony thought and then closed his eyes as Cold cocked the gun and started pulling back the trigger.He was going to allow Cold to kill him and maybe help The Overseer who he blames himself for becoming this way. But then, the thoughts of Annabelle, Satyre, Mr. Rose Dana, and all the people he's formed bonds with started flooding his mind.‘I can't just leave them and die like this. Mr. Rose Dana sacrificed two decades of his life working hard to make sure I have everything I need when I finally mak
The Midnight Heir NO EXPLANATION
Anthony looked at the curious eyes of the rest of the restaurant staff he had on him, refraining from answering Casey’s question which annoyed the young lady even more.“Anthony, didn’t hear what Casey said? I think you owe us some explanation, like how long have you been lying to everyone about who you really are? What’s your affiliation with those dangerous guys? And, what did you guys talk about while we were all taken hostage in the kit—“ Michael said but Anthony cut him off. “I’m happy to see that none of you are hurt,” Anthony said and Michael furrowed his eyebrows.“Huh? That’s not what we’re expecting to hear from you, Anth—“ Michael said but Anthony cut him off a second time.“I’d like to apologize for bringing all of you into this mess but don’t worry, now that I and him have talked, they won’t be bothering you people or the restaurant again,” Anthony said. Michael and Casey both raised their right eyebrows.“Favorite?” Casey said, wondering why Anthony seemed more detached
The Midnight Heir Tower
Anthony came down from his motorcycle. He looked around the perimeter for a short second, but, minus the cars driving by in the distance, he didn’t see any other bystanders around. After all, the prison was situated in a location secluded from public residence.He walked over to the fence that surrounded the prison and when he got to the gate, he did a quick scan of the barrier, all the while preparing himself to go through.Unfortunately, just as he started to prepare, he heard:“Who are you?!” Asked an officer who was stationed on a tower-like platform that stood taller than the top of the fence.Immediately, Anthony’s attention was drawn to this unknown officer and his partner who both watched him from inside the tower on the other side of the fence.Anthony refrained from answering immediately.“Hey, did you not hear me?! I said, who are you?” The same officer asked again, however more aggressively this time.“My name is Anthony, Anthony Star, and I came to see one of the inmates,
The Midnight Heir REAL
They were too high up and away from Anthony to discern exactly what he was showing them.“What is that?” The second officer asked.“This? Well, it’s a special platinum debit card. It’s one of the limited number of cards like it in the entire city but aside from being that, it’s proof that I have more than enough money to be invited to whatever The Scrimmage is. So, like I said earlier, open the gate and let me through. I have an important conversation to have with one of the inmates”Both officers looked at each other skeptically and smirking, Anthony activated his ability to listen to the conversation they were about to have.“A special grade platinum debit card? One of the limited types in this city? Do you think he’s saying the truth or there’s a chance that he’s lying straight through his teeth?” The second officer asked. “I don’t know.” The first officer shrugged and then asked “On the other hand, if he’s telling the truth and he really does have something as valuable as a speci
The Midnight Heir WARDEN
“If you’ll please wait here, sir. Let me go confirm the progress of your invite and see if you can join the Scrimmage or not” the second officer said, about to rush to the tower when Anthony stopped him.“Before you go, I wanted you to tell me what the Scrimmage is exactly,” Anthony asked.“Oh!” The second officer said then smiled“Don’t worry sir, I’m sure the warden will enlighten you on everything you need to know about it. All I can say is that you’re lucky you came when you did because today’s event is about to start soon. Thankfully, you haven’t missed your chance to join in yet which I’m sure will help in convincing the warden to grant you an invite” the second officer said and Anthony grimaced with confusion.‘From what he’s said, it sounds like the Scrimmage is an event. The question now is, what type of event is it and where is it being held?’ Anthony thought and then jolted with realization.‘Wait, don’t tell me The Scrimmage takes place inside the prison. That can’t be, ri
The Midnight Heir INMATE 317
“No?” Surprised at the response, Anthony asked.“That’s right, my answer is no. There’s no visitation of any inmates today and I’m sure you know why” Warden Faller said.“The Scrimmage. Yes, I’ve heard from your officers and I’ll be honest that for a moment I wondered what it is exactly. Right now, however, I’m more curious about why you allowed me to come in here, all the way to your office when you were going to reject my request. You could have just told the officers at the gate to not let me in” Anthony said, annoyed but oddly also curious.Warden Faller shrugged as he rested his back on the chair “Well, I’m a curious man. I wanted to see in person who you are. The view I got from the camera footage didn’t do it for me” he said, flicking his eyes to the monitor on his desk and Anthony doing the same but only seeing the back of the device. “And now that you’ve seen me, you’ve deemed it appropriate to reject my request,” Anthony said then sighed “That’s annoying, to say the least,

ADOPTIVE SON ARC FINALE
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
