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.

“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
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 511
Russell took Jessica far away from Madison’s sight and told her, “Don’t take her words to your heart. She just doesn’t know what she’s talking about. You know that she’s always been like this.”“I know, but why?” Jessica could only shake her head. “Just what did I do wrong? Ever since I was young, she would target me whenever I came to your home. There was a time when the minimum wage of fast food employees increased, and she blamed me for it, saying that I shouldn’t demand more and should be glad with what I’m getting. It’s like she’s looking for a reason to mock me. She calls me a gorilla, a pig, or whatever animal name that comes to her mind. She might have a complicated past, but I don’t sympathize with her anymore.”“I can understand that. I also try to be polite with her, but she always takes advantage of that,” Russell said. “You don’t throw stones in dung. That’s why I avoid even arguing with her.”“Tsk, if she verbally attacks me like this again, I’m not going to just put up
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 512
Raquel was entering the ancient wooden building while still carrying Natasha on his back. “We’re going to have adult conversation, so you should get down and stay outside.”“I’m an adult, too, Great grandpa,” Natasha replied with her cute voice.“Really? Then tell me, how are kids born?”“Uh… after marriage, they kiss in bed, and then nine months later, a baby comes into this world!” Natasha confidently said.“Wrong. That’s why you should stay outside,” he insisted.“I’m not wrong! Mom told me that I was born when she kissed Dad’s lips! So you’re lying!”Raquel sighed. “Ah, whatever.” He continued to walk. (I guess I’ll just do what I can.) He quickly pressed a pressure point on her neck, after which she was not able to hear anything.“Eh?” she fingered her ears but everything went blank. She couldn’t hear anything. “G-Grandpa! What did you do?”“Aren’t you an adult? Do something on your own,” Raquel replied, but she said nothing. “Oh,right, you can’t hear me anymore.”“What did you d
