The Secret Successor CHAPTER 499
After checking his weight in the weighing machine, Russell used the foot massager mat for a minute and found it very stimulating as well as relaxing.He left the car there and began to explore the place on foot. He came across a tripartite shop where one could choose to shoot in three ways: Bows, guns, and darts.Russell chose the bows because the quality of the bows were quite good, and he never held a bow before. The arrows had blunt tips, which was expected. He only had to pay only one dollar for every attempt. A deer hologram was made to run around in the square room right before his eyes, and he had to shoot it.Russell quickly shot at the deer when it briefly stopped and looked at him, but the arrow grazed past its back. “Ah! Just missed it!”“You can try again, sir,” the worker, who was a pretty young lady, said. “You can use the VR goggles if you want.”“VR goggles?” Russell looked at her a bit confusedly. But then she gave him a pair of goggles.“It helps you focus on the dee
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 500
In a huge hangar-like tent, many professional gamers were test-playing the game in their zones. At one end, there was a big table where twenty people could sit around it, but only Charlotte and Regan were sitting there. The others were busy observing the professional gamers use the VR gear to play the game. “This neural gear is working much better than I expected,” Charlotte was smiling very much. “The professional gamers who played the game for 20 hours yesterday had their brain functions checked, and their vitals were better than those who work at a desk for eight hours.” “That’s because we fed them all a proper diet in the morning,” Regan said. “A glass of lemon water which helps create white blood cells, a banana for energy and improving cholesterol, a guava for fiber and for keeping hunger in check. These three must be included in breakfast. On top of those three, we’ll then allow them to eat the fourth item of their choice. This is the rule I put for all the gamers. I’ve used i

Russell carried four flasks and some biscuits and chocolates along with some small plates in his bag. When he entered Regan’s view, his expression froze for a second. As Russell served every person sitting at the table, he kept staring a bit speechlessly.Charlotte, on the other hand, found herself smiling through her eyes after seeing Russell serving coffee. She waited until he came to her and said, “I don’t eat biscuits and chocolates, so just coffee is fine.”Russell poured coffee in a paper cup and put it on the table.“Do you want me to pick it up with my own hands?” Charlotte snorted.For a second, Russell didn’t understand what she said.“Who taught you work?” Charlotte blurted. “You should always do 200 percent in everything you do. Pick it up and give it to my hand.”Russell now understood what she was saying. His jaw hardened, but he picked the cup up and gave it to her. Some part of him wanted to throw the hot coffee in her face, but he controlled himself.“What are you sti

Russell came out of the hangar-like tent quickly. The old server wasn’t even around, so Russell checked his mobile and only realized now that the live stream was still on.There were only 47 viewers the last time he checked, but there were 17,230 viewers now. Russell’s eyes popped out for a second. He had to rub his eyes and check again. “Is this some sort of a malfunction, or are there really so many viewers watching right now?”Russell checked the chat, and there were so many comments talking about what they saw inside the tent. Some talked about the game, and some talked about Charlotte and Regan. The comments were scrolling so fast he couldn’t even read them clearly.Some viewers donated money and told him to go back into the tent once more.“No!” Russell quickly denied. “I don’t have any reason to go back in.”But many donations kept on coming.“Stop it,” Russell said, but they weren’t listening to him. He got frustrated. “I won’t say it again and again. If you don’t behave yours

“Who’s that shrimp?”Russell’s mouth hardened a little. For some reason, he did not like that some random man was sitting right next to Jessica and was talking with her in a friendly manner. After all, he felt like it was his place that Marlon had occupied.It was Russell who always sat next to Jessica, as they grew up together.Seeing another man sitting next to her now didn’t sit well with Russell. He wanted to approach them, but he just observed them for the time being.“How could you say such harsh words to her, Mr. Marlon?” Jessica coldly told him. “How could you comment on her private parts? Isn’t that crossing the limits?”“I just did what I was told to do,” Marlon replied.“You’re telling me that they TOLD you to comment about women’s private parts?” Jessica frowned at him.“They did not give me specific details, but in the document I was given, they told me I’m free to grill and demoralize the interviewees without any limits, except touching physically,” Marlon explained hims

Marlon thought he got Russell for good.However, Russell rolled over and got back to his feet in no time. He made it look as if he never fell on the ground. Russell continued his run, but Jessica was able to grab onto his shirt collar before he could accelerate himself.He was forcibly pulled back. The back of his head hit her forehead, making her hiss in pain.“Jessica, are you alright?” Maron quickly stood.“You sit,” Russell put his hand on Marlon’s shoulder and pushed him down, making him sit back.“Ugh…” Jessica couldn’t even speak because it hurt so much.“That’s what you get when you mess with me,” Russell told her, trying to rub salt in her wound on purpose. “My subscribers must have wished for you to lose, and you did.”“You…” She swiftly punched at his ribcage, but Russell was quick to deflect her hand.“You are too slow, girl,” Russell snickered. “My adrenaline is racing right now. You can’t touch even a single hair without my permission.”“Really?” Jessica took the challen

Regan ended his meeting short and came out of the tent to meet Russell. He asked the guard in which direction the guy that served coffee went and then headed in that direction. A few guards followed him closely. He told them to keep their distance. They moved a few feet back, but that’s all.Regan was walking as quickly as he could, and his calves already began to hurt even though he barely walked hundred meters at a quick pace. Clearly, his age was catching up to him. Only ten years ago, he was able to jog for 30 to 40 minutes, but now, that seemed out of question.Regan was forced to slow down. He had to breathe through his mouth now. His body urged him to grab some alcohol to forget the pain or at least take some pain-relief medication. Regan resisted that.After looking for Russell for almost fifteen minutes, he found him walking with Jessica. “So he’s with her…” Regan smiled and slightly shook his head. “Is she the reason he wanted to work here?” He followed them from a distance.

“Next time someone tries to mock you regarding Natasha’s refusal, don’t reply calmly like you did with Sevyn,” Jessica told Russell. “Men should not be soft and cute in these types of situations, nor should they try to be. Understand?”Russell nodded.“What did you understand?” she asked again.“To not take insults to the chin,” Russell replied.“Good,” Jessica said. Just then, her mobile rang. It was Regan calling. “It’s my boss calling. I gotta go. I’ll meet you in the evening. Let’s go home together, or I’ll kill you.” Saying that she rushed away.“If she knows that Mom and I are staying at a hotel, she’ll definitely ask us to stay at our house,” Russell thought. “I can’t bother her with our presence at her home.”Russell then turned the live stream back on. In a few seconds, 1200 people started viewing the livestream.“Sorry for abruptly ending the stream, guys, but it is what it is,” Russell said.One of the followers donated 1000 dollars to him and said, “You run Tuna Waves, don
