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
The Midnight Heir COBALT BLUE
Once they all went into the designing room, Gustav walked over to the mannequin which was covered with the current project he was working on and he stared at it in deep thought for some seconds.When Anthony saw Gustav's current work, he couldn't help but smirk proudly at the work, saying "No wonder you're as renowned as you are in the whole of Pol—"However, before he could finish his sentence, Anthony had to swallow his words when Gustav grabbed a chunk of the fabric on the mannequin, and then ripped the entire thing off and dumped it on the floor.Both Tori and Lynette gasped at what he did but they also hurriedly closed their mouths so as not to come off as disrespectful to what their boss was doing.Just like all his works, they had been helping him work on that project ever since the day it started and were shocked that he could just destroy all their work and effort like that without even a second thought."What are you doing?! Even though it wasn't finished yet, even I could t
The Midnight Heir HAPPY TO SERVE
Excited to see the beautiful end product of the job their boss had spent all those hours to make, Tori and Lynette started to give Gustav a round of applause, and playing into the vibe of it all Gustav turned to face them then he gave a dramatic bow. "Thank you, thank you very much. You're all too kind for your applause and I don't deserve it" Gustav said jokingly like he was talking to an audience after giving a world-class performance and the three of them did this for a little while before they decided to get serious. All Anthony could do was stand there and watch the strange and overdramatic scene these three were making which also kind of fell in line with what he expected from someone as flamboyant as Gustav. Still, he palmed his face and shook his head in shame. "Don't mind our little over-the-top sequences, Master Anthony, that's just a little game we like to play whenever I finish a job in my zone." Gustav's panted a little bit with a huge smile on his face. "It's been a w

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
