The Secret Successor CHAPTER 550
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

A few minutes earlier.“Thank you for not just healing me,” Roddick bowed before an old lady who was wearing a rabbit mask, “but also revitalizing me. I feel like my bones have gotten stronger. Now, I can do much more than I ever imagined. Coming to this city is more than worth it. Thank you.”“No big deal, kid,” she kept her voice indifferent. “Just don’t forget to make the world suffer. That’s all I want from you. Sow seeds of chaos wherever you go. The world deserves it for stealing so much from us.”“I will definitely do it, ma’am,” Roddick said.She used an electronic device to open a portal.Roddick looked astonished. (I want to take the blueprints for this advanced technology, but it’s still too early for that. I have to gain their trust, and then when it’s time, I’ll conquer this city!)“Where do you want to go?” She asked.Regan thought about it for a moment. “I initially planned to deal with my worst enemy, Liam Lynn, who humiliated me! But now, I feel like I can kill him an

Regan initially got the better of Roman, but then the toll of using the hacking system was too much on his old, sick body. He began to cough in the middle of the fight, and this gave plenty of opportunities for Roman to land some good blows on Regan and break his bones.But what astonished Roman was that Regan still tried to stand and fight.Roman frowned. “I don’t get it. What’s making you fight so hard?”“You wouldn’t understand it even if I tell you,” Regan used his hacking system again to put pressure on Roman’s mind, giving him an immense headache.Roman screamed like he never did before. It was humiliating for him that he was being hurt like this by a mere old man when Roman had the history of beating elephants single-handedly.Regan couldn’t use his skill for longer than three seconds now. And then he was down on his knees, bleeding from his nose. His sight also turned blurry.Roman recovered quickly and got back up. “I don’t know how you are messing with me, but this ends now
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 555
When the clones received the alert, they all rushed toward the location where Roman was, but not all of them rushed to the exact location where he was. Some of them spread out all around the island, and some began to take strategic locations, whereas some others began to climb the castle in order to protect it from outside threats.They were all doing as per the protocol.However, when the clones climbing the castle heard Elsin’s voice, they sent a message to Roman who was fighting David with the clones on his side.Roman immediately ordered the clones to save his son at all costs.And so more than two thousand clones hurriedly climbed down the castle and rushed at Russell.“Shit.” Russell ran back into the cafeteria and took the elevator and went underground.“You better leave me alone,” Elsin was sadistically laughing, “or you have no chances of escaping from this place.”“I’m not letting you go until I leave this island,” Russell told him, “so shut your mouth!”When the elevator op

Regan was still in the laboratory room where he had fought Roman. He was still catching his breath and trying to recover, but it wasn’t proving easy because his ribs were broken. Just breathing was proving difficult to him. Even though the hacking system kept assuring him that he wouldn't die, he didn’t know if he’d die in a few seconds or not.“Can’t we do something about the clones?” Regan asked.[Not with your body like this. If we try to hack their central system, they will fight back, and I will be forced to use your mental strength. Then you'll likely get another stroke.]“Dammit,” Regan gritted his teeth. “If only I was at least ten years younger…” he was trying to walk out of the room despite being in immense pain.Just then, two clones arrived at the room and restrained Regan by electrocuting by just merely touching his body.Meanwhile, Liam’s fight with the cyborg woman got more intense.Liam now suffered many cuts and bruises.He got the bruises from her punches and kicks,

“If you didn’t get captured, then you came here out of your own volition? Why?” Liam asked Regan.Regan just didn’t have the strength to keep talking while his whole body was aching. He fell to his knees.“Hey! Don’t die on me, you geezer!” Liam lowered himself and tried to help.“It is touching to see two hardcore rivals care for one another,” Roman smirked. “But I’m just not in the mood for watching soap-opera right now. So, I will have both of you beaten to a pulp. No, let’s make that three.” He tossed David into their midst with one hand, showcasing his superhuman strength.Liam still wanted to fight him, but he was surrounded by hundreds of clones, so if he were to jump forward, they’d all jump at him.“Now then, time to flatten your faces,” Roman clapped his hands.All the clones jumped at Liam, Regan, and David from every direction in a very synchronized manner so that they didn’t collide with one another.Just then, Roman received an alert message.*An intruder has entered the
