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

“You what?” Charlotte was shocked by her daughter’s response. “I get that a lot has happened recently, but how can you say that you don’t want to marry again and have children?”“I have read a fantasy book recently, and the main characters in it are immortal,” Kyra calmly stated. “They view sex as a very basic thing and don’t let the opposite sex influence their mind. After reading that book, I realized that sex is so overrated in our world.”“Most of the businesses in the world run by that, whether in the open or in secret,” Charlotte bluntly said. “It’s not that people don’t know that too much sex is a bad thing, but it’s just that most people are not strong enough to resist the temptations the modern world provides everywhere. Forget about the rest, but I don’t want you to take such an important decision after reading some random fantasy book! My ‘Supreme Bank’ needs a successor, and all the money you’re going to earn needs someone to look after you grow old and pass away. At least
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 358
Jessica came home extremely tired. She didn’t even have the strength to eat, but if she wanted her headache gone, then she knew that she had to fill her stomach.“That damned Charlotte has given me a lot more work than I’m supposed to do,” she frowned. “I want to go against her word and refuse her requests, but I’m bearing it because my boss told me to.”She knocked on her brother’s door. “Hey, Derek. I brought you dinner.” She put the bag on the floor and went to her room.For the past few months, all Derek had been doing was live in his room. Even Jessica only saw him come out a few times. She had asked him if everything was alright, and he told her he was just playing games. Since he wasn’t consuming drugs, she didn’t bother him too much and left him alone.Jessica hurriedly gorged on the food. She received a call from Irene. “Mm? It’s been a week since she called me. I wonder what she’s up to.” She answered the call. “Hello, Ms. Manager. How are you doing your role at the hotel?”
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 359
Tom and Russell helped each other by being together. Tom helped teach about the secret symbols used in the media to predict the results of not just professional sports but also politics. Russell realized without Tom even specifically telling him just how rigged the people in high places were. This gave him a whole new perspective about the world.On the other hand, Russell helped the college kids clear in any way possible. Russell was not good with his studies, but that was changing now because he was able to understand Tom’s lessons as well as the brightest children in the class. The difference was that he was many years older than them.After the classes finished, Russell bragged with Tom. “If I take exams like IELTS, or TOEFL right now, I think I’ll do really well. My IQ has definitely improved from staying with great people these past few months. Now, staying with you is also making me smarter, at least education-wise.”“Well, I’m glad you think that way,” Tom was a man of few wor

At Tuna Waves.Regan Creed and Michelle Arris were on the rooftop, looking around at the completed mega structures, and the Creed Zone now looked like a futuristic city in itself.“There are many people discussing online that you forcefully grabbed people’s lands,” Michelle said. “I know that real story that you paid most of them more than what their property is worth, but you still get the negative fame for doing it.”“Well, other rich folks buy thousands of acres of land and do nothing with it,” Regan said, smiling, “but I am the exact opposite. I put my everything into this. Whether you do good or bad, no matter what you do in life, there will always be criticism. I’m very much used to bearing with it, so let people talk about what they want. As long as I don’t regret what I’m doing, there’s no need to fear anything or anybody.”“Talking about ‘fear’...” Michelle somewhat hesitantly queried. “Do you remember the earthquake that happened by the lake a few months back?”“Of course.”
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 361
Regan and Michelle had roamed throughout the Creed Zone, observing every building and the infrastructure to make sure everything was as it should.Even though it was night time, the lights were bright enough for the old Regan to see without much of a problem.At around four in the morning, Michelle said, “I think I’m done. I’ll go home and come back tomorrow.”“Sure, but consider adding some protective coating on the rooftops to shield the structures against direct energy weapons,” Regan suggested.“I’ve already added some level of protection, so don’t worry too much,” Michelle’s response surprised him.“You did?”“Yes, but not on the rooftops but inside the buildings, so that the electric circuits can’t be ignited easily using external energies,” Michelle stated. “As for the underground basement where the main servers are kept, I’ve added more security than you asked for. No earthquake or government weapon can destroy them. I can guarantee you that much.”Regan felt much better afte
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 362
When Taniya entered the lecture hall with great expectation, she saw Russell fingering his nose and felt extremely turned off by it. Her expression visibly changed, and she changed her mind. Instead of coming over to greet Russell, she went straight to her place. Russell smiled faintly, thinking that his tactic worked. “If I keep doing these kinds of things, I’m sure she’ll change her opinion on me. It’s definitely difficult to make a girl fall in love with you, but it’s very easy to make them hate you.” Taniya sat down and began to curse him in a low voice. “He is disgusting. I’m never going to let him touch me with those hands. Never.” Kyra, who was barely able to listen to her voice now through the recorder, wondered, “I just started listening, but… Disgusting? Touching? What’s she talking about? Did he try to do something nasty?” she gritted her teeth. “Russell… you… how could I have not seen what kind of person you were even though we were together for months?” she touched her
