The Secret Successor CHAPTER 373
Max, the big german shepherd, firmly grabbed onto the officer’s ass so hard his eyes bulged out. His scream traveled far more than a hundred feet.“Max! Let go of him!” Simon wrestled with the dog, but his strength wasn’t proving effective.“Stop it, Max!” Tom shouted. And Max immediately let go of the officer.“Urgh,” the officer bore the pain and took his gun out, but before he could shoot, Max jumped and bit on his wrist this time.Tom couldn’t tell Max to stop again because he was afraid that the officer might kill the dog. But if the dog were to keep on worsening the officer’s injuries, then they would definitely get revenge on the dog and even Tom and everybody related to the dog.As the dog wrestled, the officer ended up shooting the gun multiple times, hoping at least one of the bullets would hit the dog.And one bullet did hit Max in the ribs. Max squealed and collapsed on his belly as if he was electrocuted.The officer put the gun in his other hand to shoot at the dog. Russ
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 374
Max survived.Tom and Russell carefully took him back home after Russell paid for the expenses.Though Russell insisted that the dog be kept in the hospital for a couple of days, Tom was against it. He was afraid of all the bad things that happened to his wife at the hospitals, and so he didn’t want his dog to be in a hospital for long, either.After coming home, Russell asked Tom, “Why didn’t you take the tablets and injections the doctor gave? Don’t you want Max to be healed fast?”“I can heal Max faster on my own,” Tom said and turned on a certain type of music.“This…” Russell was surprised because this was the same music Tom had played after Rachel died. “Why are you playing a tune? What good will it do?”“Music vibrates with the body,” Tom said. “Depending on the frequencies, you can heal almost any type of disease or illness. You can also harm with wrong frequencies. For instance, if you tune the music to 432hz, it heals us on all levels. But 440hz is bad for us.”Russell pause
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 375
Jessica, while working, had noticed one thing. The top shareholders of the company were having regular discussions multiple times a day, and some of them looked tense. She didn’t know what it was about, but she knew that it was some very important information because Regan didn’t allow her to be by his side as they discussed it.Jessica’s curiosity didn’t let her do nothing. She went to Marlon’s office and asked him about it.“I’m not allowed to tell you or anyone about it,” Marlon said, speaking a bit professionally, “but I think it’s okay to tell you this much. We are currently being threatened and bullied by the federal government to listen to their demands and use the VR game to steal people’s data and send it to them.”“W-What?” Jessica was stunned. “By data, you mean…”“Everything. From personal details such as fingerprint, retina, and DNA to the patterns of thoughts the players will have…” Marlon said. “They want all that data.”“I-Isn’t that criminal?” Jessica couldn’t believe

“What are you talking about?” Marlon quickly denied. “I never proposed to you. I don’t even know you.”“Hmph, just because you deny it, it doesn’t become the truth!” Irene snorted at him. She poured coffee and then sat down next to Jessica. “Men really are men. They think of women as nothing but tools that can be used and thrown away.”“M-Miss, I think you’re mistaken about me,” Marlon couldn’t sit straight. “You’re definitely good-looking, but I really don’t know you.” He didn’t want Jessica’s perspective on him to be affected by this stranger.“It seems at least your eyes are still working since you can see that I’m beautiful,” Irene sipped on the coffee before the other could. “However, that doesn’t erase the bad things you’ve done to me.”“B-Bad things? Now, you’re pushing it,” Marlon’s voice contained a bit of anger and frustration.“Are you saying you’ve done not a single bad thing in your life?” Irene asked. “Not even when you were drunk? Do you expect me to believe that?”Marl
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 377
Regan Creed and Lucas Blake just happened to come to Tuna Waves to talk. Jessica saw them and briefly greeted them before returning back to the table where Irene and Marlon were.“Lucas Blake… he’s a real estate giant,” Marlon said as soon as Jessica sat down. “He’s received a nice offer from the feds, if you know what I mean.” Because Irene was around, he couldn’t speak as straightforwardly as he wanted.“What kind of offer?”“Tax exemption for the lands he’s going to buy,” Marlon said. “It’s the best offer he can get, so I think he’s going to be difficult to handle for Mr. Regan.”“So, they’re trying to divide us and make us fight each other,” Jessica’s blood boiled. “Why can’t they just let us be?”“They don’t want anyone to gain too much power,” Marlon said, appearing to be calm. “Even though they may allow Lucas to buy thousands of acres in important spots across the world, I’m sure they’re going to use those lands to achieve their goals.”“What kind of goals are we talking about
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 378
Ivan’s death was a big surprise to Roddick because Ivan was the illegitimate son of someone who ran the drug cartel. Roddick told this man, Zhero, that his son died when he was gathering information on a guy named Russell.Zhero didn’t care about his son’s death as much as he wanted to punish the man that resulted in his son’s death, so he sent out a gang to deal with Russell.These gangsters came to Tom’s house early in the morning. Even though Max saw these gangsters entering the house, there was nothing he could do because he was still recovering and wasn’t in a position to attack the intruders.The seven gangsters entered the house when Russell was cooking an omelet. Russell saw them and didn’t say anything. He just focused on cooking.“Are we invisible to you?” one of the gangsters rushed forth and tried to grab Russell’s face. Russell moved away and grabbed the man’s face and smashed it on the pan, making him scream in horror. The other six gangsters together rushed forth.Even
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 379
The seven gangsters were sent away in the afternoon. Russell didn’t expect them to even go back and tell what had happened to Zhero because he believed that they’d run away and hide somewhere after failing the mission.However, Russell didn’t know much about the mafia, that joining one was relatively much easier than leaving.One of the seven gangsters informed Zhero of what happened, giving his own version. “That’s what happened, sir. That guy is not your average individual. He had guns with him. There was nothing we could do once he pointed the damn thing at us. If you could give us guns, then we’ll definitely make sure to erase him from existence.”“I only give guns to those who succeed in their missions,” Zhero bluntly said. “So, fuck off. I’ll deal with that guy using someone who can actually do the job and not give excuses.”The gangster left without saying another word.“So you have guns, huh…” Zhero smirked. “I have thousands of them with me. Should I just send a van and have
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 380
After sending the seven gangsters away, Russell told Tom who they exactly were, leaving Tom shocked. He also warned Tom to be careful during the night as they might come back in the night.Tom couldn’t stay put after hearing that, so he took money from Russell and then went out to buy a gun from a friend who owned a gun store.Russell was alone in the house, not counting Max who was still resting because of the injury.Russell bought a new laptop and other necessary equipment so he could earn money from Tom’s house itself.“I wanted to leave this place, but now that Simon is out, I’m afraid he’ll come after Teacher Tom, so I’m gonna have to deal with Simon and any other trouble that might knock on Tom’s door.”Just then, Jessica entered through the gate.Russell went out to meet her.Before he could say anything, she apologized. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t find anything about Amelie.” Even though she used her network and her brother, she couldn’t find anything.“It’s okay. Don’t blame your
