The Secret Successor CHAPTER 349
Five long minutes, Chad had to wait. He finished two cigars in that time. He didn’t light a third one, though. He threw the packet aside and started banging the door with the baseball bat. “Come out, motherfucker!” BAM~! The door suddenly opened so fast, it hit part of Chad’s face, making him collapse backward and cringe in pain. “Oh, my bad,” Russell was quick to apologize. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.” “Ugh,” Chad wasn’t bleeding, but his nose hurt so much. “What are you bastards gawking at? Attack him!” The four thugs he brought immediately tried to attack Russell. He quickly shut the door again, and then opened it even faster. In doing so, he hit the faces of two thugs. They were able to withstand the pain and glared at Russell. “You’re a dead man!” “The door isn’t heavy enough to deal enough damage, huh,” Russell leaped forth and dealt a tornado-kick to one of the two men that were closest to him. A solid hit sent him crashing back into the two men in the back. The other gu

From his car, Ivan was also watching everything that had happened between Russell and Chad, but he didn’t see Gage.“When did this punk get this strong?” Ivan was not able to believe his eyes. “If I fight him now, will I be able to win?”Even though he wanted to try fighting against Russell, he had to control his urge because Roddick had told him to not let Russell know who was causing him harm.Ivan then sent a fake message to Roddick, saying that he made Russell cry a couple of times. Afterward, he gave the task of monitoring Russell to his subordinate, Limsi, and left.Limsi was a young short-haired blonde who had the habit of chewing bubble gum all the time, even when her jaws started hurting.“He told me to scare Russell, but the only way I know is to beat the shit out of others,” Limsi thought. “I guess I’ll start my job when he begins to sleep.”Limsi followed Russell and waited until he picked a spot on the bench, out in the open. “Is he going to sleep there? On the bench? I k

The next morning.Russell woke up early, because it was pretty cold outside. He stretched his body a bit and began to jog to heat his body up. In about twenty minutes, he worked out enough to combat the cold. He was not shivering anymore.He bought carrots from a market and was washing them near a tap. A shirtless old man was shivering on the side. He seemed homeless, but Russell only had one shirt with him, so he offered a carrot and a ten dollar note to the old man before resuming his aimless walk.He went past the burger shops and other fast food centers that were yet to open up. But the street dogs were eating the spoils from the garbage cans in the back. They growled at him as he was going past them.“I don’t have enough money to rent a house, let alone stay in a hotel,” he thought, completely ignoring the dogs. “Charlotte said she’d send me the documents, but since she didn’t, I guess she got all the necessary documents from Liam already?” He pursed his lips. “The prenuptial agr

Tyler brought Russell directly to his house and told him to rest in the single room built on the rooftop. There were all facilities inside, since it was a big room, so Russell didn’t even need to go outside, except for eating.“We’ll talk about everything later, but get some rest first,” Tyler told Russell and left.Moments later, Julien entered the room.“He told me that your family has abandoned you,” Julien hesitantly said. “Is that correct?”Russell didn’t say anything.“I haven’t told Tyler what happened last night,” she added. “You shouldn’t tell him, either, or he’ll punish me and my daughter.”“I already told you that I won’t tell him,” Russell replied.“Then, I’ll be going,” Julien turned around. “I’ll be bringing food here three times a day, so you can stay here as long as you want. Don’t be burdened because this is the least I can do for someone who saved my daughter.” Saying that she left.Russell began to think. “So Tyler didn’t bring me because Julien told me what happen
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 353
The old man, Tom, woke up in the middle of the night because his wife, Rachel, was screaming that thieves were stealing things. However, there were no thieves. Even though Tom repeatedly told her that, she would still cower and even pee in her bed from fear.Rachel had many health issues. Alzheimer’s was one of those. She didn’t remember who Tom was. She didn’t even remember her own name. All she would do for most of the day was look at the garden through the window. And every time she would wake up from her sleep, she would act like a different person.Tom tried everything he could. From modern medicine to eastern medicine, he had tried everything with the money he had, but nothing worked. In fact, things were on decline because she was also aging really fast.There were many that told Tom to euthanize her because he was also growing too old to take care of her. However, he couldn’t agree to such a thing.Now, after calming Rachel down, Tom lost all of his sleepiness, so he came outs
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 354
After Russell left Tom’s house, a few minutes later, both Ivan and Gage came wondering what sort of connection this old man had with Russell for Russell to have waited by his home for an entire night.However, both Ivan and Gage reached the main gate at the same time. And they recognized each other.“You are…” Ivan was more surprised than Gage. (What the hell is this guy doing here? I haven’t seen him in over a year, so I thought he’s working abroad.)Gage, however, quickly figured out what Ivan was up to. “I don’t know what you’re doing here, but you asked for this.”“Asked for what?” Ivan was saying, but Gabe attacked him without warning. Both of them exchanged powerful attacks for more than three minutes and ended up injuring each other. In the end, both of them stopped fighting and walked away in different directions.“I must get my elbow checked,” Gabe thought. “I should also tell Boss about this. It seems like Roddick or his mother is still trying to harm Russell.”“Why did Rega
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 355
The life on the street that night proved to be a tiring one for Russell. He had to fight a dog as well as a couple of strangers who came to him with ill intentions.Russell was no longer wearing a suit, which he had left at Tyler’s house. So, naturally, people were giving him different looks when he was sitting alone out in the street.He didn’t know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up the next morning, there was a paper bag next to him, with food and drinks inside. He looked around but couldn’t see anyone in particular that might have helped him.Though the thought that the food might be poisoned crossed his mind, he was already quite hungry because he hadn’t eaten in almost 24 hours, so he put his fears and doubts aside and finished his meal. There was still an extra burger left, and he left it with the dog that had attacked him the previous night. The dog happily picked the burger with its mouth and danced as it ran down the footpath.Russell put his hands in his pockets and w

Tyler looked for Russell for hours. He used the people he knew to look everywhere, but he couldn’t find him and returned home.What awaited him at his house gate was a letter hanging to the gate. When he read the content, he was shocked.“Don’t support Russell, unless you want your family to be destroyed. I’m sure you’re smart, so you’ll choose the right thing to do.”These words made Tyler tremble. Even though he was a millionaire, he felt very anxious right now. Who could write a threat to him this way? Only someone who was capable of executing it, he believed.He wanted to look around to see if anybody was watching it, but he didn’t dare to do so. Instead, he went inside, acting like everything was normal.Ivan was watching everything from his car. “Looks like the scare tactic worked. From what I heard about this guy, he’s definitely not going to even look in Russell’s direction from here on. All that’s left for me is to make Russell’s life miserable on the streets.”Meanwhile, at
