The Secret Successor CHAPTER 545
The arrival of helicopters and the bald men in black suits shocked everyone, including Russell and Elora. “Are they here for us?” Russell grew anxious. “Huh? Why would they be here for us?” Elora quickly asked. “Did you do something stupid?” As they stood vigilant, the men in black suits completely ignored these two and rushed into the store. “Don’t let the young lady get away! No matter what!” “If we lose her, then Boss will put us under a guillotine!” “She went that way!” “Spread out and surround the whole place. We are not letting even an ant get past us without our permission!” They took out electric stun guns and quickly searched through the whole store. However, Lucy was hiding in the ceiling, but it was made out of thermocol sheets, so wasn’t sure if they’d withstand her weight if she were to walk on all fours. “I can’t believe I’m hiding from those baldies! If there really is a chip in my body, then they should be able to…” Just as she was saying, one of the men open

On a private jet flying high through the sky.“You are rather calm for someone who doesn't know what’s going on,” Lucy looked at him as he was staying calm and was looking out through the glass window. “I could understand if you accepted the coffee I offered, but you didn’t drink it. So, what makes you feel so calm despite not knowing anything?”“The reason I didn’t accept coffee is because coffee is related to cocaine. It stimulates your intestines to move faster,” Russell replied casually. “In other words, it makes you shit more often. Now, why would I drink coffee when we’re on a plane? I don’t like shitting on a plane or even a train you see.”“Mm…” Lucy surprisingly liked what she heard., and it made her put the coffee cup down “You said something very interesting about coffee, which I haven’t heard about before. Are you a barista or something?”“No, I can’t even fully pronounce the names of those coffees they sell in the espresso bars,” Russell said.“Haha, but I like frothed mi

“Stop and explain yourself, Lucy,” Elsin blurted. “Don’t take Dad’s patience for granted.”“W-What’s there to explain, Brother?” Lucy retorted in a soft manner. “How would I have expected that punk Liam to boldly speak to the media like he did? He’s crazy! How can anyone predict what a crazy man would do?”“You think he’s crazy?” Roman intervened. “That man knew exactly what he was doing. If he had only told the lies, then it wouldn’t have been much of a problem for us because most people wouldn’t fall for such lies. However, he subtly mixed lies and truths together, so much so that even experts who can detect lies from body language will have a hard time to tell whether he’s lying or telling the truth. That man is not just any billionaire, Lucy. He had a history of being in the dark and fighting the dark forces since long ago, but for some reason, he stopped doing all those vigilante acts. Otherwise, someone would have long killed him. But if we touch him now, we’ll only be making hi

In Rues Castle.Elsin was talking with a group of people using his hologram. “We will get all the birds at once. We’re capable of doing that. Anyone who fails will be punished without mercy, so do your jobs well.”“Yes, sir.” Among those that agreed, Teresa was also there.After the meeting ended, Teresa was feeling excited. “The era of the Lynn family is going to end soon. The Creed Zone will be taken over. We will have also gotten more control over the Conreid Company. Other big companies are already on their way into coming under our control. Within just a couple of months, I can see this entire country completely coming under the control of the Payseur family and their allies. Since they won’t be directly doing the job, I’m sure they will give it to ME. Hahaha. It is finally my time to shine! I’ll show Nora how money shouldn’t be wasted on charity! I’ll show Charlotte and Stacy Heller that they’re not worthy of getting my appointment! I’ll get my grandchildren married into royal f

Russell and Lucy were put in the same dark cell, where there wasn’t even a single candle.It was completely dark, but they were given only one candle and were told to use it for the next 24 hours.Lucy lit it up right away, but Russell blew the flame off.“Why did you do that?” she asked.“Let’s not waste it,” he said. “We’ll use it when it’s beneficial for us.”“Beneficial?” Some weird thoughts ran through her mind. “Are you talking about the time when we’re going to have sex?”“Don’t say such crazy things,” Russell blurted. “I am going to escape from this place. So, let’s not waste the candle light right now.”“Escape from here? Hahaha,” she laughed out loud. “That’s impossible.”“Nothing is impossible,” he said.“Is that so?” Lucy went silent for a while. “It is impossible for me to get away from my family.”Russell didn’t say anything at first, but then he asked, “Why do you want to stay away from your family?”“It’s an embarrassing story, but I’m sure I’m not the only woman who e

Jessica was talking on stage in a seminar conducted for the programmers working for Dream Creed.“We’re going to be working late hours for the first few months,” she told everyone. “So be prepared for it. Of course, you’re going to receive a fat bonus if you do a good job. Those are not my words, but my boss’ words.”“Ma’am,” one of the women raised their hands. “These past few days, our company has been greatly attacked by the media.”“Isn’t it only natural for others to envy us when we’re doing great?” Jessica replied.“No, it’s not about that, ma’am, but… what do you think about their statement that there aren’t enough female programmers in this company? I mean, we’re talking about a 1:14 female to male ratio here. Isn’t that unfair and strange?”“What’s so strange about it?” Jessica retorted. “Can you, as a woman, stay at night and work long hours every day, even as a programmer? I don’t think so. Women have many things to consider compared to men who are built to work outside. So

Elsin entered the cellar and turned his head toward Russell. The indifference was clear in his eyes. He didn’t even say a word and just raised his gun.Russell’s eyes widened. He raised his arms in self defense and rushed forward.Elsin shot as if he was killing a rat.The bullet luckily struck the metal cuffs and bounced off.“Haa!” Russell slapped Elsin’s hands, and the gun fell out of the cellar. Russell joined his hands and thrust both hands at Elsin’s face at the same time and struck him as hard as he could.Elsin was hit hard, but he withstood the attack and then replied with a kick in the gut that sent Russell a couple of steps backward.“You little shit! How dare you touch me with your dirty hands!” Elsin ragefully rained punches on Russell left and right. Russell lowered his center of mass and receive all the attacks to his arms and shoulders, guarding his head properly. He kept moving so that he wouldn’t be cornered.Elsin was a grown man with practice in boxing. His punches
