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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 317
On the top floor of Tuna Waves hotel.Charlotte was privately meeting with many people from around the world. The likes of Harry Heller, Lucas Blake, Brendon Conreid, Thomas Origins, and many more people were present there. They all waited for Regan to make entrance.“Can’t you do something about the massive debts Liam owes the supreme bank?” Lucas asked Charlotte. He was almost as tall as Brendon and was also as handsome as Harry. Without a doubt, this fifty-year-old man was good-looking enough to make women mind their behavior around him.“If we pressure him, he’s going to declare that he went bankrupt,” Charlotte said.“I know Liam,” Brendon interfered. “His pride wouldn’t let him say such a thing to the public. He will use his own money to pay the Supreme Bank all the debt he owes.”“Well, if his mother wasn’t alive, then maybe what you said might happen,” Charlotte opined, “but, trust me, as long as Nora Lynn is there, she won’t let Liam make such a silly mistake.”“Nora Lynn? Th

Just as Kyra was about to leave in her car to meet Liam, William arrived. He took bags out of his car.Kyra recognized the luggage. “Why did you bring those bags here?”“Young Master Russell told me to do so, Young Lady.”“Oh…” she thought he packed the luggage as they were going to live in the new home from here onward. However, William came up to her and took out a credit card.“He also wanted me to give this to you,” William said, pursing his lips.Kyra’s face slowly but surely scrunched after realizing that it was the same wedding card that she had given to Russell.She took the card with a clenched jaw. “Does this mean he’s not coming here?”“I don’t know,” William said. “But if you ask me, Young Lady, I don’t think you should talk about the luggage or the credit card. Since he’s showing attitude when he’s in the wrong, then how much attitude should you show?”“I will deal with him after I come back,” saying that she left in her car.Meanwhile, in Tuna Waves hotel.The meeting fi

Russell was driving to his company building, and he received a phone call. To his great surprise, it was from Charlotte.“Why is she calling me?” After hesitating to pick up the call for a few seconds, he answered. “Uh, how are you doing, Mother-in-law?” he asked.“I’m doing great, Russell. You seem to be doing great, too.”“Me? Well…”“I mean, you are doing a great job with Russell Gas,” Charlotte said in a happy voice. “After you lowered the prices, the volume of the customers increased, and the company is making a lot of profits.”“Thank you,” Russell felt like he needed to hear these words after Kyra had accused him of conspiring with Stacy.“I’m proud of you. But I think if you lower your prices some more, your profits will skyrocket,” Charlotte said with care. “So focus on that, okay?”“Yes, I’ll do my best. How are you doing?”“I’m doing great. Wait, someone’s calling me. I’ll call you later,” she said.“No worries,” he ended the call.As he kept driving, he thought about what
