The Secret Successor CHAPTER 309
After the call with Kasim, Kyra looked frustrated. She had bought thousands of properties around the world, so if the prices of these sites were to drop, she’d be losing in billions. The only way out of this that she could think of was to wait for some years and sell the properties when their demand rises, but that would beat the whole purpose of Kyra’s routine of buying and selling things quickly and making decent profits out of them. Now, she started feeling like a pelican that had caught something in its mouth that it couldn’t swallow or spit out.Kyra had come out of the Lynn estate, and she didn’t want to rely on her mother or father anymore, but if her real estate business were to bring losses, not only would she lose her fame, she would also be forced to rely on her parents’ money, which she hadn’t done in almost ten years.“There’s only two families that are capable of something like this. It’s either the Conreid family, or the Blake family,” she clenched her teeth. “I made su

Russell woke up in the evening to the bad news that James went missing. It was Kyra who told him. She had received a call from Viola because Russell’s mobile was switched off.Kyra ordered William to find James, but that didn’t stop Russell from looking for his brother.He went to Amelie’s house first. Arnold was already quarreling with her parents outside their home. It was very ugly to watch. Russell didn’t intervene and just left. He went to Roddick’s villa, but nobody was present there, and the guard told him that Roddick had left the city about fifty days ago and hadn't returned yet.If neither Roddick nor Amelie were responsible, then Russell believed that James might have left on his own.“What the hell is he thinking? Even after months passed, he’s not able to forget her?” Russell could only shake his head. For some reason, James’ actions made him remember Jessica’s words that she would never be able to marry another man because her heart was full of love for Russell. It made

“Hello,” Russell quickly answered the call. “Did you find anything about James?”“No,” Kyra’s voice was bland, “what about you?”“I’m still looking.”“Okay, by the way, arrange a board meeting for the gas company tonight. We’ll need to tighten the screws so that nobody would surprise us,” Kyra told him.“T-Tonight? What’s the hurry?”“Just do it.” She said and hung up.“What the…” Russell put the mobile down. “We don’t even know where James is, and she wants to hold a board meeting now?”Roddick’s words came to his mind.“What timing, man. If I call for a meeting, I won’t be able to look for James. If I look for James and don't find him in an hour, I won’t be able to attend the meeting. Both options are not good. There shouldn’t be a problem if I call for a meeting tomorrow. James is more important now.”Later that night.Kyra went to the headquarters of Russell Gas in her Alpha Wolfe car, but the guard outside told her that nobody has come yet.Kyra called Russell’s mobile. “Did you
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 312
In the midst of darkness that had covered the 2400 meter tall mountain situated near the border of the city, there was only one light that stood out. It was the flashlight of Russell’s mobile.Even as the mood hid itself behind the clouds, Russell was calling out for James as he explored the jungle-like mountain. Having roamed through the woods in the past two months while getting trained under the Agnar family, Russell was not afraid of roaming alone on this mountain now, even though it was quite dark, with all kinds of noises blasting his ears from different directions. From crickets to frogs and all kinds of creatures made distinct noises in some places, and in other places, there was this eerie silence where Russell could only hear his footsteps and nothing else.“I’ve heard that the government released deer and foxes to live on this mountain a few years back, but I haven’t seen a single deer yet. They must be sleeping somewhere that won’t be easy to find. Mm?” Russell noticed foo

A kick crafted with all the strength his quads could offer saw the bear crash forward, chin-first.Russell jumped, spun, and struck the bear’s spine with his heel.Crack~!The bear groaned in pain, but it rolled its body and tried to grab Russell. It happened so suddenly, and Russell lost his balance and fell to his right.The bear got on top and was all over him, clawing at him and biting him wherever it could, trying to utterly destroy the enemy while grunting in between attacks. This went on for over twenty long seconds until Russell’s left hand clenched and flew into the bear’s jaw like a cannon. The jaw broke and multiple teeth flew out. The bear collapsed right on top of him and lost consciousness.With great effort, Russell pushed the bear that was weighing over 1300 pounds. He received deep cut and bite wounds on his forearms and nowhere else, but his whole body was aching because his body felt crushed under its heavy weight for a few seconds.He tore his shirt and wrapped the

At around five in the morning, Russell and James came down the mountain. They stopped at a small coffee stall. The shop owner saw Russell and gave him his jacket because he happened to have one as the temperatures during the night and early morning got pretty low near the mountain.Simple coffee wasn’t enough for James; he ate biscuits also.Russell drank hot almond milk, and it calmed his nerves. While James was busy eating, Russell started reading a newspaper because the headlines were about the Lynn family.“192 food production companies associated with the Lynn family have been closed in the past five weeks?” He was shocked because the number wasn’t as high when he last heard about it. He quickly read the details, thinking if they were closed because the companies weren’t following the rules properly. However, he couldn’t find any reason in the paper. “More than half of them are meat-producing companies, so they must have been making a lot of money.” He briefly thought about Liam.

Russell spent a good hour at home, a quality time with James, Viola, and Frizz, with Frizz being the little puppy.After buying a new mobile, he then went straight to the farm house, where he expected Kyra to be, but she wasn’t there. He called Kyra, but she didn’t answer his calls. He called William and asked Kyra’s whereabouts.What William said shocked her. “Kyra is in a police station right now. I’m with her, handling the situation. Where have you been? I've been trying to reach you, but I couldn’t.”“Forget about me, but why is Kyra in a police station? Send me the location,” Russell hurriedly got into the car, and William kept the call going so that Russell would be able to hear the ongoing conversation.“Miss, you shouldn’t have hit Mr. Alister,” the Deputy Chief was talking with Kyra. “All I am asking you is to apologize, and then everything will end peacefully. You can then go home.”“Why would I apologize when he totally deserved what he got?” Kyra retorted while sparing an

When Russell came to the farm house, Kyra wasn’t there. He waited, but she didn’t come home. William came and began to pack all of Kyra’s luggage.“What’s going on? Where’s Kyra?” Russell asked him.“She’s at the new house,” William said.“... Did she say anything about me?” he expectantly asked, but William shook his head.“Oh, she asked me for the credit card,” William put his hand forth.“W-What?” Russell was shocked. He couldn’t believe that Kyra asked for the credit card she had given him. Frowning, he gave the card to William and asked. “Did she say anything else?”“Um,” William shook his head and walked away.Even though Russell’s ego was hurt, he still wanted to go to the new house, but she didn’t call him or tell him to come, so how could he just go there and live with her?He waited at the farm house, hoping she’d call him at some point, but he received no calls. The sun went down the horizon, and the moon was circling the sky.Gabe found himself sitting alone and eating the
