The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 122: In process
When they arrived in the sitting room, Derek instructed Benson. "You can go ahead with the plan, and prepare our men." When he left, Benson quickly made his way to the men's quarters.Derek had instructed him to prepare men to infiltrate the Elder's Mafia. They had to insert spies among the elders to know their next plan of action.This was better than blindly trusting each of them. He selected 6 men, 2 for each mafia, and led them underground to the tattoo room. "Welcome, Boss." Jake was the man in charge of the tattoo room, which helped to prepare Derek's men with tattoos, piercings, a change in haircut, looks, and everything that could help their men fit in properly as a spy. "There are 6 men you need to make an identification tattoo for." Benson rubbed his chin in thought.He had seen some men from each Mafia before. Their identification sign hadn't escaped his shrewd eyes. Albert's men had a star tattoo in the crook of their neck, Herbert's men had a dragon tattoo on their w
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 123: The spy
Stephen flipped through the account records of his businesses with a deep frown. With each of his business bearing losses for the past few months, he was nearing a bankruptcy. "Fuck." He rubbed his temples in frustration. "What the hell is going on?"He had handed the businesses to some of his subordinates just because he was focused on the issue with Clinton, and now they were almost bankrupt. Suddenly, a loud knock sounded on the door."Come in." "Boss, there's a man here to see you." His right-hand man, Felix bowed slightly. "Who's it?" Stephen replied without looking up from the document in his hands. "He's from Master Morris.""What?" Stephen's heart skipped a beat."Is it that same man?" He suddenly jumped up, rushing out the door. "Yes. The visitor is awaiting you in the garden, Boss." Felix nodded. "Alright, go get a cup of coffee and snacks ready to the garden," Stephen ordered and quickly made his way towards the garden. Like he expected, it was Wallace- the man Mor
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 124: Promise
"Don't get all excited yet. Morris has yet to meet you all this while because he's still quite distrustful of you." Wallace poured cold water on Stephen's high hopes. Stephen was stunned silent for a while. "He still doesn't trust me?""You were supposed to prove your allegiance by killing Clinton back then, but you slacked off and allowed that rascal to take over the position! Who would trust you after that?""Wasn't it Morris himself that promised to take care of Clinton?" Stephen was shocked. "You don't still get it?" Wallace asked in an angry voice. "Even though he promised to help, the only way you could have proved your allegiance was by killing Clinton yourself. Then taking over the Head Mafia position!""Well, it wasn't my fault in any way. I only obeyed his instructions to the letter." Stephen said with a scoff. "If he had given me explicit orders instead of going through the corners, I would have proved my absolute allegiance!"Wallace only chuckled. "Even with how far we'
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 125: Responding to treatment
"I'm so sorry, Mother." Derek grabbed her hand tighter. "If it wasn't for that man, you wouldn't be here trapped in this hospital.""He snatched your little daughter from you, then hurt you to the point of unconsciousness. Morris is a monster that deserves nothing less than death!" "But I have good news, Mom." Derek glanced fondly at her face. "I found your daughter, Annabelle.""I was able to discover she was my lost sister right before Morris could make me hurt her." Derek felt a wave of sadness and anger wash over him again. "Oh, mother. It must have been painful to lose your child when she was only young. We all missed her growth phases through childhood, teenage, and adolescence. Every single memory was snatched away!""I recall those times when we were still a happy family. Those times when you used to knit in the garden, telling us evening stories while we waited for Dad to return from work." Derek's eyes became clouded with tears. "Those were such happy times."Then, Morris
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 126: A call from home
"What's wrong, Thomas?" Fred also asked, a little panic on his face. "Speak," Derek commanded him. "I don't know how grave the issue is, but Benson is arriving soon to relay some information to you."Derek frowned. "And what could that be?""He refused to speak on the phone."Derek thought for a while and stood up. "Alright. I think we'd better get to the Hotel and wait for him."He gave Fred another nod before walking off with Thomas. Derek quickly returned to his mother's ward. The doctors had finally brought Annabelle in and placed them in the same room. His eyes clouded up as he stared at both women's faces. "Take care of yourself, Mother. I'll be back soon."He turned to kiss his sister's cheek. "Get well soon, Annabelle."With that, Derek retrieved his things and hurried out with Thomas. In the parking lot, a Silver Porsche caught his eyes and Derek couldn't help but admire it for a while. Right next to it was a sparkling red Toyota Camry. "The cab is waiting, Boss." Tho
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 127: Order
"Order a cab, we're heading to the bar," Derek ordered immediately. "Boss?" Thomas was stunned."Just do as I say." Derek turned away to check his phone. In less than 5 minutes the cab arrived to pick them up from the middle of the highway. They arrived at the bar with Derek quickly ordering a glass of vodka. Settling at a table near the rear, Derek quietly sipped his drink. Thomas wanted to ask him several questions but decided against it. Derek's gaze remained on his phone, monitoring something through a tracking device. The moment he finished the drink, he stood up abruptly. "Come with me."Thomas quickly settled the tab and rushed after him. "All clear. We're heading to the Hotel." Derek approached the cab that drove them there. Thomas was taken aback. "We've cleared out our reservation, boss.""I need to return to check something out."Thomas was silent for half of the drive before he spoke up. "It didn't seem like you really went to a bar to drink, Boss. Why didn't you t
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 128: Impatient
The man was startled by the force with which the door flung open. "Who is it?" He staggered back. "Fred?" Derek had rushed in immediately to grab the intruder's collar. "It's me, Derek. I was just trying to adjust Annabelle's bed covers.""Well, I didn't see your face, so I thought it was someone else." Derek frowned at his new outfit. Fred sighed. "I was about to leave, heading towards a high school reunion that's why I got changed.""Ohh. Alright." Derek nodded, relief washing through him. His heart had stopped the moment he stepped in to see an unfamiliar figure earlier. Fred left almost immediatelyAfter confirming that everything was okay with his mother and his sister, Derek left as well. LaVida Hospitals was one of the most secure hospitals in the entire country.Without a secret passcode known by a very few select people- the patient's doctor and a few family members, no one accessed the wards. This was the reason why Fred was able to keep his mother's location a secret
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 129: Speculating
Derek's gaze hardened. The fact that this man knew his name was strange. He even still had the audacity to insult him? "Your Master must be really powerful, given the fact that you dare to openly defy me?"Thomas also went furious. "You fool, why are you so bent and adamant on protecting the person that sent you? You don't value your life?" "He obviously doesn't." Derek gritted, placing his foot against the man's outstretched hand. "Are you going to tell the truth, or I break each joint in your finger?""No!" the man hissed amidst the pain. "Never will I betray my Master. I would rather die than tell you the truth, Derek. Who do you think you are?""I am someone no one dares to mess with!" Derek increased the force in his feet suddenly, crushing the exposed wrist which earned a strangled yelp from the guard. "Let go of me!" his wrist burst open as blood spurted out. "You were saying?""Bastard!" the man screamed with a red face. "You're nothing but a pathetic bastard! Do you think

Chapter 168: The end
Derek and Sophia spent the rest of the night in a romantic atmosphere, popping Champagne to celebrate the good news. His mother was finally awake from coma. Derek couldn't be happier. Everything was finally working out in his favor, all the pains he went through in the past were finally paying off. For his men, his mom, his sister, his company, and Sophia, Derek was so grateful. He had a nice time joining the band to sing a love song for Sophia. After laughing and merrying for a few more hours, they finally left the restaurant, hands intertwined. "Thanks for the surprise, darling. I really enjoyed it, and I look forward to more of this in the future!" He pressed a kiss to her forehead. Sophia blushed hard, getting into the car beside him."My dad will be returning to HC Central Hospital tomorrow, he's willing to go check out how your mother is faring." She rested her head on his shoulders with a big smile. "That's good news." Derek nodded. He dropped Sophia at her apartment a
Chapter 167: Biggest Accomplishments
Derek got down from the Porsche, heading to the other side to pull the door open. "Thanks."Clad in a blue dinner dress, Sophia looked stunning with her light make up and black heels. Her hair was sleeked back in a perfect ponytail to accentuate her flawless face. They both stepped on the red-carpet, hands intertwined, making their way into the exquisitely decorated hall. Today was the Trillionaire Club's 45th Anniversary and Sophia was here as Derek's date. "I'm so glad you're able to walk without restraints now." Sophia smiled softly at him. They didn't need to flash an ID at the gate, everyone knew Derek was the President, and accorded him the respect. The hall was buzzing with influential billionaire men and women, dressed in designer clothing and luxurious accessories. Immediately they sighted him, several men hurried over to introduce themselves. "I'm David, CEO of A.B Corps, the biggest construction company here in Orange Park. I've heard a lot about you, Mr Derek. You'
Chapter 166: New start
3 days later, Derek was discharged from the hospital on a wheelchair.Apart from the loss of blood, he had no internal injury and had been recuperating well. According to the doctors, he only needed a few days of healing before he would start walking normally again. For now, he could only stand for a few minutes to prevent straining the leg. Sophia was with him all through his stay at the hospital, and they left for his mansion together. Immediately they stepped into the house, a string of ribbons floated in the air. "Welcome home!"Everyone was there- Dominic, Jack, Alex and all their men, Benson, Thomas and all of Derek's men, his company's board of directors and executives, and even Sophia's father, Fred was around. "My precious daughter!" Fred pulled her into a big hug. He turned to face Derek. "I heard all that happened, son. Thank you very much for rescuing my daughter.""It's nothing, Fred." Derek patted him and left them both to catch up.He had to get up from the wheelch
Chapter 165: The last one!
"Stop it, don't hurt her!" Derek shouted, trying to lunge forward and stop Morris. "If you even dare to take another step forward, consider her life gone!" Morris' eyes flashed with a dangerous warning. Derek had to step back unwillingly. "Let her go and fight me man to man, Morris. You don't have to get her involved with this!""Drop your weapon!" Morris ordered him. "Derek." Sophia whimpered from underneath his hold. "Don't do it.""I said drop the pistol right now!" Morris' eyes were red with rage. "Would you want me to slash her beautiful face into two?"Derek felt his stomach sink in fear. This was the end. Morris was holding the most precious person to him, hostage. There was nothing he could do now!"Drop the pistol already, are you deaf?" Morris was getting more enraged, and Derek feared he would hurt Sophia more. "Don't do it, Derek." Sophia looked him in the eye. "Don't give up the last chance of protection you have, he will take advantage and kill you!""I'm sorry." De
Chapter 164: The Cue
"Now!" Benson signalled his men, and they burst through the gates, opening fire on each and every thing on their way! Morris' men were very taken aback. They would require time to get into formation for defense. Before then, Benson reckoned they would have wiped out. But to his chagrin, they didn't take too long to adapt. Only a few got injured while the rest got into hiding and started exchanging fire. More men started to pour in from the mansion to join the assault, and soon Morris' men were overpowering Benson and his team that they had to retreat back outside the gates. "Where the fuck is Jack and his men, aren't they supposed to be attacking them from behind? The pressure on us is getting worse!" Benson yelled, moving to the foremost and targeting the leader of Morris' men. In his anger, he almost forgot to take cover and a bullet grazed past his arm, almost hitting him. "Be careful, Boss. If you get injured, who will lead us?" someone shouted from behind, but Benson was ad
Chapter 163: Emotions
"Reminds me of your father. Back in the days." Morris smiled. "He was so vibrant, smart, and full of energy. Just like you, Derek. But guess what, he ended up dying by my hands!""So, you're finally willing to admit it?" Derek clenched his fists with boiling rage. "You took my sister away from us and killed my father, you motherfucking bastard!""You're forgetting one thing." Morris laughed again. "Or perhaps you don't know? Your mother's accident was caused when she was fleeing away from me, so in other words, I am the nemesis that broke your family apart!""You!" The rage erupted in Derek's chest and he lunged for Morris, aiming at his neck. If Derek had caught him at that moment, he would have dug his throat with his fingers. That's how much hatred he had for Morris! But before he could get to Morris, several hands clamped down on him from behind, kicking him violently to the floor. "How dare you try to attack Master Morris?" "You must have a death wish and be so tired of livin
Chapter 162: Last Day
Dominic was able to keep the little girl mute until they all jumped over the fence. "Are you a bad man? Why're you sneaking in, instead of using the front gate?" she asked innocently, not an ounce of fear in her eyes. "Because we're here to meet a friend, and we don't want to disturb the rest of the nun's dinner! Now, come with me." Dominic dragged her along with his men, pressing his hand against her lips.He couldn't risk alerting any other person at this point. They approached the Head Nun's garden, got in, and peeked into the room through the window. "We just have to climb in and abduct her from here. She'll probably still be observing her prayers while others are having dinner.""You go in first," he signaled to Thomas. "Make sure you land very quietly, when you see her, give us a signal and we'll join you!"Thomas nodded, and soon he disappeared into the room. "What're we going to do with a cute little girl like you?" Dominic crouched to the girl's level. "Are you going to
Chapter 161: D-Day
The D-day arrived like any other day, with the sun shining brilliantly in the sky. Derek got up early enough to exercise and have coffee. He sat locked in his study all morning, getting into the right frame of mind. By noon, Thomas came to announce he was leaving for Dominic's. "Stay safe, Boss. We're celebrating together at that party!" Thomas said and left. Derek nodded, then turned to Benson. "Go in and start briefing the men, we have less than 3 hours left. No one is allowed to come in or leave the mansion without my permission from this moment on!""Yes, Boss." Benson bowed.Just as he left, Jack arrived, saluting Derek with respect. "It's good to see you, Boss. The day is finally here, let's give it all we've got!""Of course, we will." Derek had always loved Jack's fierce but principled approach to situations. "Benson is already inside addressing the men, please join in, making sure to reiterate the most important details.""Roger that!" Jack saluted again and left. Derek
Chapter 160: Restless
"After you guys attack. I'll try to protect Sophia while leading Morris on. A few of you would join me in attacking him then." Derek continued. "His men would be distracted by the sudden attack, I'll use that chance to get Sophia to safety.""What if struggle ensues between you and the person holding her hostage?" Benson asked an obvious question. "That will be in your hands, Benson. Immediately after leading your men in, locate Sophia first from a place of hiding. You should be able to kill the man holding her hostage with our special submachine gun." Derek rubbed his chin in thought. If the plan proceeded that way, this meant he was willing to place Sophia's safety in Benson's hands. Derek tried to push every thought of her getting hurt away. There was no other way they could approach it. He would be so busy with getting Morris down that he might not be able to look out properly for her. "I think that should be all?" Derek sat up. "Don't forget what I said, let it rain bullets
