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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 381
“Um…” Jessica hesitantly said, “can I stay in this house until I can walk?” Russell looked up at Jessica in a bit of a shock. “W-What?” “I mean, my brother isn’t home, and I will be there alone,” she quickly explained. “You know how unsafe that neighborhood is.” “Uh…” Russell didn’t know whether to stay silent or accept her request. Knowing her, he didn’t think she purposely injured herself so she could stay here. “This isn’t my house, so I can’t be the one to make the final decision.” “Leave it to me, Russell. I’ll convince the old man,” Jessica confidently said. After all, she got injured because of the old man’s inadequacy, so she was sure of making him feel guilty enough he’d allow her to stay in the house for a few days. “And about Amelie, how about we post it in the news? This could help us in case she’s still somewhere.” “News, huh… Why would they help us? All it does is give them an opportunity to demand money from Roddick,” Russell said. Jessica was surprised to hear tha
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 382
At Tuna Waves.Regan was waiting outside.Irene was standing a few feet behind him, wondering who Regan had been waiting for almost fifteen minutes. “After Russell left the hotel, it basically became the property of the Creed family, even though the Lynn family still technically owns it due to the lease contract. That’s because the Lynn family stopped caring about this hotel, as if they had something against it. All this makes me believe that something very bad happened between Russell and Kyra Lynn, and she didn’t even step foot in this hotel lately. It’s just my guess, but I trust my instincts. Anyway, I feel bad for Russell, but I don’t know what exactly he’s done. I wonder how Jessica is going to deal with him. I told her not to be blinded by love and properly investigate everything in secret. I hope she will keep my words in mind.”Just then Regan received a phone call. To his surprise, it was from Liam Lynn. This was the last person on earth he was expecting a phone call from. H

Regan explained from his perspective the need for power to fend off the feds and keep his dream game going strong in the future.“I’ve built something that will help humanity experience fantasy on a whole new level, sir. I’ve got no ill intentions,” Regan spoke as the head chef personally brought the thousand -year-old wine and opened the seal right before their eyes and served it.Irene was watching that from a distance and was very surprised. “The Millenium Wine! Just a sip costs 10,000 dollars! Why is Mr. Regan wouldn’t easily serve the most precious wine of the hotel even to the VVIPs is now serving to that man? He even brought a whole damn sealed pot. Just who the hell is that apple?” Her mouth watered more the more she looked at him. She tried to take a picture from a distance, but to her surprise, the picture came out blurry. She took another photo and the same thing happened. Just the part of Benjamin was turning out to be blurry. “What the heck? Is there a problem with the le

Tom returned home hours after he had left, only to see Russell talking with the same girl that had come the other day. Tom put the gun box away and smiled, “How are you doing, miss?”“I’m not doing good because a glass piece in your yard had pierced my foot,” Jessica purposely said these words to prick his heart. “Now, I’m not even in a position to go home. Is it alright if I stay here at your house?”“I-I’m so sorry that you got hurt,” Tom quickly said, “but… how can you stay here alone where two men live? We’re not even your relatives.”“It’s okay. This guy is my best friend,” Jessica said, secretly pinching Russell’s thigh.“Y-Yeah, teacher. Since we’re not using the tuition hall right now, I think she can stay there,” Russell suggested, while rubbing his thigh.“Ah, that’s a good idea,” Tom gave her a thumbs-up. “You can stay here until your wound heals. Don’t worry about meals because Russell is good at cooking.”“Oh?” Jessica gave him a surprised look. “I didn’t know you could c
