The Second Heir Chapter 153
Inside the sleek, modern offices of Behav Company….For the first time in Behav, the situation in the office was just like any other office. The air was thick with tension, and the executives’ faces were etched with signs of stress and fatigue that they never encountered before. "Ugh, I can't believe it…" Alan muttered, his fingers tracing the data paper detailing Behav's stock market performance. "Never in my life have I chosen to work just to avoid someone. I think I can be Dr. Lou after this."Alan's sentiments were shared by the others in the room. Gilbert, in particular, seemed exasperated. "Same," he grumbled. "Although I was well aware that I'm pretty useless here… I never thought there was someone even more useless than me! Like seriously! Are you all sure that boy is even the future heir of Von Ritcher, the most powerful family in all of Cleveland and the owner's son of Behav?" Gilbert's gaze shifted to Griffin, who was currently pestering Karel to step out of the room. "W

The taxi came to a sudden halt, the screeching brakes echoing through the quiet surroundings. Greg, Dylan, and the teenage boy looked around, realizing that they had arrived at their destination.Brumm... CKIT!“Alright, we're already arrived in front of the Bluebell Inn, folks. Hope you enjoy your stay here,” the taxi driver announced."Thank you," Greg said with a nod as he handed the driver a generous tip. The driver flashed a quick grin before driving away, leaving the three of them standing in front of the old inn building."Hm, now that I look at it during the day, turns out the building is not that bad," Greg mused, his gaze fixed on the weathered structure. "In fact, it looks pretty... Kinda reminds me of the old witch's house that Hilda used to read about to me when I was a kid."“Alright, Mister. I will go there first, since I want to meet Maria. There’s something that I need from her while I’m here,” the teenage boy said. “If you want to see Jason, you can find him on the r
The Second Heir Chapter 155
Jason's rage burned like a wildfire, his face contorted with fury as he pointed an accusing finger at Greg. "You… How dare you come and meet me here??!! How dare your face be in front of me!!!" His voice reverberated through the lounge, and his eyes bore into Greg with seething anger.Greg, however, remained calm, his expression unreadable. He had anticipated this confrontation, and he found it somewhat amusing that Jason had suddenly turned hostile, remembering their last meeting Jason didn't say anything. "Well, I guess he's just showing his true colors now," he thought to himself, a wry smile playing on his lips. "Only God knows what suddenly triggered him but that’s alright. With this, I can just use ‘that’ way, to obtain that key easily," Greg mused before he opened his mouth and say,"Well, you know why I'm here Jason," Greg spoke in a measured tone. "I'm here to ask you for the key to the lab building.”Jason's mocking laughter filled the room. "Key to that building?" he scof

CKLEK!The door to the luxurious suit room swung open, revealing a spacious and elegantly decorated interior. Dylan stepped inside, his eyes widening as he took in the opulent surroundings. "Wow…" he muttered, his voice filled with wonder. "Even though I've already seen so many luxury things by becoming Von Ritcher's right hand… I must say that this suit room sure looks very nice." Dylan said, whistling as he looked around, admiring the plush furnishing, the soft ornate carpets, and the intricate artwork that adorning the walls.It was definitely a stark contrast compared to the tense atmosphere that they walk outside!"You know," Dylan paused as he let out another whistle. "If Jason thinks about marketing this place, I'm sure that Bluebell will be back to its former glory, and Jason will have a lot of money to repair the tainted rivers. He can even make two if he wants. In fact, he can even make this inn into a resort!!""I don't know, Dylan," Greg said as he put down his things, an
The Second Heir Chapter 157
The next day arrived. Greg, Dylan, and the teenage boy stood outside the Bluebell Inn, ready to head to the lab. Originally, they had planned to use a taxi and then walk through the forest, but Jason surprised them by offering to drive. The weather was gloomy, and news of a wild boar in the forest had deterred their initial plans, so they accepted Jason's offer.As they piled into Jason's BMW sedan, he couldn't help but reminisce about their first meeting, which had involved the same car."Haha, going like this together sure brings back a lot of memories, huh? I can just feel our fate when your plane fell yesterday," Jason chuckled, breaking the silence while Greg and Dylan, on the other hand, just remained quiet, both holding the same thought."Yes, just like yesterday when we met you and your dirty, expensive car," they used simultaneously. They now knew that Jason had purchased the car right after selling the lab since this BMW sedan car is his childhood dream since he feels James

Meanwhile back on Greg's...Greg now couldn't believe his luck, after the BMW sedan had caught on fire and the teenage boy who now kept bleeding non stop, now... They also must face the wild boar! "Hey, are you done taking care of the teenage boy and Jason? I don't think that I could hold it much longer now!" Greg as he climbs to the tree, trying hard to distract the boar. Sometimes, Greg must throw a wild fruit that Greg didn't know from the tree just to distract it again. "Now, he began to bump their head into three! ten minutes from now, I believe that he might make me fall!" Greg said panickly."Please be patient, I'm trying," Dylan said as he tried to carry Jason too since the middle old man turned out to be anemic, which made him dizzy and pass out after seeing blood. "You don't know how hard it is for me to carry this guy! This guy is so heavy! Way more heavy than the stone I used to carry for training!" Greg now couldn't help but just watch the boar bumping its head into th

Back on Behav...Sretttttt...."Good morning, Mister Griffin, um, why are you--" "Could you just shut up? Your voice annoyed my morning,"Griffin said nonchalantly, and the counter was immediately silence when they heard that.Today, Griffin's mood is not that good. How come he feels good, if today, he just got into a heated argument with his mother?'I don't know how, but I expected you to watch and report me every single thing on Behav, okay? Every single thing. Don't let me down like your study. All this time, you never made me proud, and this is the only way if you want me to feel proud for the first time.'Griffin immediately groaned in annoyance as he remembered those words. So now that even never making his mother proud is also his fault?!"Tsk... Well, it's not my fault that I was born this way, and can't make her proud. My brain just can go on with all those study, and boring business class," Griffin mused. "If she wants a perfect child, then why doesn't she just try to be ni

After all those shocking events in the forest, right now, Greg, the teenage boy, Dylan, and all the executives, including Bradley and Rika were all back at the Bluebell Inn. At first, Greg was feeling a bit heavy with the decision, but because the situation was urgent, he didn't have any choice but to let them in. “Well, at least Jason now was being brought to the hospital due to anemia, and the teenage boy didn’t recognize them so.. there should be no problem with them following me, here, huh?” Greg mused. *** CRACK!!! "ARGHH!!!" "ENDURE IT," Karel said, as he pressed ice against Alan's bruised chest. "This is what you get for thinking about those stupid ideas yourself! If you know that the situation is like that, why didn't you come back to us and ask for a rope or stairs? You know we all brought them. It would have been a far better and more efficient way!" "And you also!" Karel said, turning his head toward Dylan who lowered his gaze guiltily to the teenage boy. " What were y

At The Faith's Company.The imposing wooden door of Charles Faith's office had a distinct rhythm as it received three sharp knocks, echoing through the hushed corridor."Come in."The door swung open, and his impeccably dressed secretary entered with a respectful bow. She carried a folder and a map, her demeanor exuding professionalism."Good morning, Mr. Faith," she greeted. "I just wanted to inform you that the Faith Company's market is experiencing rapid growth. The score was higher than last month, and the number held a new sales record for our company, so our marketing team decided to set a higher score so that we can achieve higher success. Charles Faith, seated behind his polished mahogany desk, was engrossed in reviewing a stack of documents. He glanced up from his work, intrigued by the news."Oh really? Is that so?" he inquired, his piercing gaze focused on the secretary. Then, with a calculated curiosity, he asked, "And how is Von Ritcher doing? Have we surpassed them, and

Months had passed since the chilling night at Bluebell Inn, and the air of uncertainty still clung to Greg. The events that unfolded during the banquet remained etched in his memory, and the questions surrounding Griffin and Behav's secrets continued to haunt him. [Breaking news flashed on the screen, interrupting the usual morning routine. "In a shocking turn of events, it has been months since the youngest heir of Von Ritcher, Griffin Von Ritcher, died mysteriously of poisoning and now, another blow has struck the Von Ritcher family as one of their main subsidiary companies, Behav, has been revealed to have been hiding a significant secret. The company was linked to the water disposal incident from Bluebell years ago, a scandal that has sent shockwaves through the corporate world and---"PIP!] "Another day, and the news seems unending, huh?"

Greg's thoughts swirled with uncertainty, the weight of the situation heavy on his shoulders. And just as he was wrestling with the question of how to navigate the unexpected presence of Griffin and Mara, a sudden knock at the door disrupted his contemplation. It was one of Bluebell Inn's servants."Good afternoon," the inn servant began, "I'm sorry for bothering you, but I wanted to remind you that the banquet is now available, and you are welcome to join if you wish."Greg nodded, acknowledging the information. "Thank you. We'll head to the banquet shortly."As the servant left, Dylan turned to Greg. "Looks like the banquet is already open. Shall we go now?" he asked, and Greg nodded."Sure. Let’s head to the banquet," he said.+++TIME SKIPAs they had arrived at the banquet, the room was already full with the executives.The room was adorned with elegant decorations, giving it the air of an official gathering rather than a simple dinner."Wow... the banquet is quite full," Dylan

As Greg continued to ponder the familiarity of the bag, Alan's voice abruptly brought him back to the present.“Hey, Greg. I’ve been searching for you everywhere," Alan said with a friendly smile. "We need to get inside the lab building. Everyone's already gathered inside since Mr. Smith has already arrived.""Alright, I'll come in," Greg said, as he followed Alan.Inside the Old Behav Lab Building...Greg stepped into the old Behav lab building and found that everyone had already gathered inside. The room buzzed with whispered conversations as the executives engaged in hushed discussions. There was a certain nostalgia in the air, a reminder that many of them had started their careers in this old abandoned lab when they were young scholars. Some of the executives were reminiscing about the past, discussing their memories of working in this very building."Everyone must be feeling nostalgic, considering it's been a long time since they set foot in here," Greg mused as he observed thei

The morning sun bathed the Bluebell Inn in warm, golden light as the executives of Behav Industries enjoyed a grand breakfast. As everyone was eating, Greg, who was sitting on the corner couldn't help but observe Jason, who was now sitting at a table, laughing heartily with Bradley. It was a stark contrast to his furious demeanor just the day before. "Hm, that was weird, how come Jason suddenly changed his mind in one day? Wasn't he still angry yesterday?" Greg mused as he silently drank his coffee."Is Bradley perhaps saying something to him? He must have said something to Jason since he was still mad yesterday. "What did Bradley say that managed to change Jason's mind in one da—” "Hoh, newbie, so you're joining our trip to the lab, huh? What did you say to Karel that made him suddenly let you? You didn't tell what Dr.Lou tells right?" Greg, who heard someone call his name, shifted his gaze and he immediately met with Alan's smiley face. Returning his smile, Greg said, "Nah

Greg now stared in disbelief at the sight before him. Under the bed, there was…“Dylan?” Greg exclaimed, his voice betraying his astonishment as he looked at his subordinate who grinned mischievously before slowly getting up from his hiding place."Hey, Greg," Dylan greeted with a smirk. "Phew, I was relieved to no longer be down there. It's pretty dirty under the bed."Greg scoffed, still bewildered by Dylan's sudden appearance. "Weren't you just out with your belongings minutes ago?"Dylan chuckled as he brushed off some dust from his clothes. “Well, about that… Let’s just say, I didn’t really go out since I was kinda curious about what you and Karel are about to discuss so I decided to eavesdrop for a while before going back to Maria and the teen room,” said Dylan, making Greg roll his eyes.“Anyway, Greg, about Karel’s question…” Dylan's grin faded, and his expression turned serious. "It was strange, don't you think? Like, why would he suddenly ask about Bradley and forgiveness? I

BRAK!The suite room's door swung open, and Karel stepped inside, his eyes scanning the spacious and luxurious surroundings. "Oh, so this is the room, huh? It's pretty big," Karel remarked as he began placing his belongings on the floor. "It's almost as big as the city's hotel suite room. Bluebell Inn should try to advertise more about this place. It'll definitely elevate their income."Greg followed Karel into the room, placing Karel's other belongings beside his own. "Well, yeah, I agree with you. Bluebell should try to advertise this place more" Greg replied, keeping his tone casual. 'Tsk, how come he and Dylan had the same thought?' Greg mused.Karel continued his assessment of the room. "And also, I think they need to fix the connection too. You know, even though this is an inn based in nature, this world is already modern, so Wi-Fi and a good connection have become primary needs, just like food and drink."“Yeah, I agree with you,” Greg briefly said.As they settled into the ro

Karel sighed as he heard what the receptionist said, his mind racing to find a solution to his predicament. "Hmm… So the only option that's available is just an extra bed, huh?" Karel said, a hint of frustration in his voice. The receptionist nodded, her eyes sympathetic.“Yes, sir, the only option available right now is the extra bed. But don’t worry, even though you'll be sleeping on an extra bed, we will give you a free breakfast as our apology for any discomfort you might experience—”As the receptionist talked about the inn's apologetic service, Karel, on the other hand, fell silent as he contemplated this option. Sharing a room with the executives wasn't his idea of a peaceful night's sleep given his personality as a picky person who had zero tolerance to someone else's habit."Hm… who should I sleep with? Alan and Mr. Anderson, or Dr. Lou?" Karel thought as pondered about the sleeping candidate. "It will be troublesome if I sleep with Alan and Mr. Anderson remembering how talka

"I know that exposing the lab and Bradley's activities will tarnish the company's reputation, but seriously, destroying Behav... Should we really just stay silent and let them do it?"***The tension in the room was palpable as Greg and Dylan exchanged thoughts about the executives' plan to expose Behav. Greg's brow furrowed as he considered Dylan's words, the weight of their conversation sinking in before saying, "Well, yeah. I guess so...?" Greg said, raising an eyebrow. "I mean...Why should we stop them? Just like what you said, by exposing the company, it will automatically tarnish its reputation. So what's the difference with letting the executives do that instead? Won't it be good since it didn't dirty our hands?"Greg asked, and Dylan nodded thoughtfully as he acknowledged the validity of Greg's points."Well, you're not wrong about that," Dylan admitted before continuing, "However, our purpose is different from theirs Greg. Our purpose in revealing Behav's illicit activities
