The Secret Successor CHAPTER 503
“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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 504
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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 505
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.
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 506
“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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 507
Russell very much knew that the followers who wanted him to go to Tuna Waves could very well be people who were set up by Skarlette and Natasha as they knew that he and Kyra were no longer together. The divorce was accepted in the court, but it was not made online yet, so even the media wasn’t aware of it yet.Going to Tuna Waves would be troublesome for him, but Russell wanted to use this opportunity to let his followers and the world know that he and Kyra weren’t together anymore. He didn’t want to tell it directly, so he was thinking of a way to hint through his live stream.As Russell was heading to Tuna Waves, Viola grew tense. She was watching the live stream, so she didn’t understand why Russell would be going there. What if he gets humiliated there? “Just what are you thinking, Brother?”A few minutes later, Russell reached the hotel. The guards and the receptionists were all new faces. None of them recognized Russell.“This is the building that didn’t collapse even after the
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 508
“Why are there three different entrances into the Creed Zone?” Russell asked Regan. “I can understand a different pathway for those walking by foot and traveling in vehicles, but you even separated for normal vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles. Why is that?”“So you’ve noticed that, huh…” Regan smiled. “It’s for convenience, of course. The people in cars need not wait for a long time until the cargo trucks get their clearance.”“That’s why you also have built separate flyovers for different purposes…” Russell uttered.“There are a total of 43 skyways taking people to important places all around Creed Zone,” Regan said.“Then why doesn’t Tuna Waves have a skyway leading to it?” Russell couldn’t help but ask. “Isn’t that the only building that was left standing after the earthquake?”“Well, that’s…” Regan wasn’t able to answer easily.“Is it because it’s leased by the Lynn family?” Russell ended up speaking his mind. “Since you and Liam Lynn are like rivals, you didn’t want to build a fly

“If his family abandoned him, why don’t you just bring that guy over here?” Raquel was talking with Sansa loudly while eating watermelon, including the shell and the seeds. Like a hippo or an elephant, he did not spit out anything but ate everything. “We know his mother, too. She stayed here for a couple of months, so they can both live in the guest quarters for as long as they want.”“I didn’t ask them because Dad was against it,” Sansa replied.“Huh, that foolish guy doesn’t have any juice in his brain,” Raquel snorted. “That’s why he says such stupid things.”“I think he’s worried that I might end up marrying Russell,” Sansa said.“Mm…” Raquel curiously glanced at her. “Are you interested in him?”“N-No,” Sansa didn’t look embarrassed. “I think of him as my brother.”“Mm…” Raquel could see some love and respect in her eyes. Since Sansa didn’t have a brother, she must have really liked Russell as her brother. “You are very strict when it comes to meeting with strangers, so I never e

The sun was setting, and Russell’s voice was breaking from having spoken a lot since morning. He wasn’t live-streaming anymore, but he was still recording videos of some places.Because of the street lights everywhere, it wasn’t dark at all in Creed Zone. The bright yellow orangish lights kept the streets warm and comfortable, too.“What genuinely surprises me is that there are not any unnecessary advertisement posters or billboards anywhere that flash in your eyes,” Russell spoke. “Clearly, I can see that this place is built with passion for the gaming craft rather than the desire to just make money. Nothing flies in your face here, except for the hologram hunting I played, which was also good in its own way. Whether I play that game again or not, that’s a different story.”Russell eventually settled down at the bench where he had met Jessica that morning.A few minutes later.Jessica quickly came scuttling over. “Sorry. Did I keep you waiting for too long?”“Well, I’m not busy like
