The Secret Successor CHAPTER 567
Russell and Elora were still staying in the hotel room for what would likely be the last night.Russell was reading a book given to him by his grandfather. It was written by his grandfather, too.“You should get some good sleep, Russell,” Elora told him. She had applied fresh garden aloe vera all over hair and body. She also applied to Russell because she wanted both of them to shine and look their best tomorrow from head to toe. What better ingredient than fresh aloe vera gel to give life to the skin and hair as well as the mind because of the cooling effect it had on the body? “Tomorrow is going to be a long day.”“I’m almost done with the book, Mom,” he told her.“Oh, but don’t take everything in the book into your head,” Elora warned. “Your grandfather does things in an extreme manner most of the time. If you follow him, you’re going to end up hurting yourself badly.”“Got it,” Russell said. “But, Mom, can you explain this? He said, ‘Goat eats the leaves and reaches the top of the

Even though it’s night time, Regan was talking with Adam Conreid, the third son of Parul Conreid.“Sorry for not being able to talk to you when you came last time,” Regan apologized.“You had a serious health issue, sir, so I can totally understand it,” he replied with a soft smile. He had a short haircut, refined beard, and a classic businessman look, as one would expect from the members of the Conreid family.“I’ll be straightforward. You know why your dad sent you here, right?”“To learn from you?” Adam wondered. “Is it not?”“What is your ambition, Adam?” Regan asked. “What is that thing that keeps you up at night and makes you sleep no more than four hours? Do you even have such a dream?”“I want to completely end homelessness in the world,” Adam said, quite surprising Regan, “starting with this country.”“You want to do what?” Regan had to sip some water because he was not expecting such words to come out from a member of the Conreid family who were all very business-minded. “Ho

The next morning.Everybody in the city was talking about the game Dream Creed, not just because it was believed to be a highly advanced game that would leapfrog the gaming industry decades into the future but also because important people from all around the world were making their way to the Creed Zone.The country’s president was just one of the many that were going to grace the stage, and what baffled many people was that even the president was not announced as the chief guest.Nobody knew who the chief guest of the event was. Who was going to cut the ribbon and launch the game then? People could only wonder at this point.Dozens of buses were allotted for the citizens to freely go to the Creed Zone. However, only those who had received the invitation tickets were allowed to enter the buses. These invitation tickets could be obtained online after verifying with their ID.Russell and Elora also acquired two of these invitation tickets.These invitation tickets were different from t

Russell was reading Regan’s book. Elora was just watching the scenery change through the window.The bus just reached the main public entrance of the Creed Zone. The vehicles were being scanned as they passed through the entrance, and the technology was advanced enough to scan for guns or any dangerous weapons that could be used to cause chaos during the event.Soon after the bus entered, it also stopped because a few extremely fat dark-skinned women were walking in the middle of the street.The driver pressed the horn, but they didn’t make way. He got angry and shouted, “Hey, Cattle! Move aside.”The people in the bus were shocked because the driver called them cattle. Was it because they were obese women, or was it because they were walking in the middle of the street?The four women turned back and kept blocking the bus. “How dare you call us cattle!” they yelled at the driver.“My bad. Cattle are better than you pigs!” the driver shouted back. “Cattle would cross the street and ma

Spanning 123 floors and covering nearly half a mile in width and length, the new headquarters of Creed Tech Zone was surely an architectural marvel to the present day people who were all slack-jawed by the gargantuan sized buildings that were everywhere, and there were sky-roads that connected different towers, many of which were still unallocated and unnamed. Each tower was massive and unique in its own right. The entirety of Creed Zone looked like a futuristic city with so many things hidden and left for the explorers to unearth. The launching ceremony was being held on the rooftop of the headquarters building, so not everyone was allowed entrance into the building. Giant projector screens were being displayed outside for the public to see the rooftop arrangements live. The bus that Russell and his mother was in stopped about 700 meters away from the building because there was so much crowd standing outside. It would be impossible for the vehicles to go any closer. The police offi

Russell was only on the ground floor, but he was already seeing the presidents and prime ministers and popular artists from other countries.“I wasn’t expecting this at all,” Russell expressed his surprise. “So many big-time politicians are coming to inaugurate a game…”“Well, when the pond is full, the frogs assemble,” replied Elora. “Be careful around every single one of them, as you don’t know which one is poisonous or not.” She had experience with politicians when she was young.“Are politicians all really that bad?”“Not all, but almost all of them are corrupt,” Elora opined. “You may get rich in this world without doing bad things, but you will never get to power without you or your family members doing nasty things in the dark. And to stay in power, they do a lot more wicked stuff.”“Some are drunk on money, and some are drunk on power, huh…”“Yeah, both are dangerous in their own ways,” Elora said.“Does Grandpa fall in the first category?”“I won’t answer because you probably

As the elevator was going up, Elora looked at Russell. “It looks like you two have a good relationship going?”“Who? Me and Mr. Liam?” Russell slightly smiled. “Yeah, maybe, you can say that. Even though Kyra believed that I cheated her, he didn’t deal with me like I thought he would. He’s silent most of the time, but when he does talk, he looks intimidating. He works like a buffalo and eats like a gentleman. He behaves like a gentleman, too, most of the time. Guys like him are very rare.”Elora’s expression slightly changed, but she didn’t say anything.“Charlotte and Mr. Liam are going to quarrel because of us,” Russell said. “But it still baffles me how she can talk to him face to face after everything she has done. What is she even going to say to him? If it was me, I wouldn’t even be able to be in the same room.”“There are always those who wait until the boat reaches the shore, and then they’d make fun of the ferryman,” Elora stated. “So, it’s not surprising to see a woman who w

Teresa’s nerves twitched when she heard and then saw Jessica chuckling. “What is so funny, huh? When you smile, all I see is your teeth. That’s what’s really funny.”Jessica frowned in anger.Jennifer was surprised to see Jessica. She quickly whispered to her mother, “She’s Russell’s friend.”“Ah-huh, so that’s how it is…” Teresa smirked. “I was wondering how these two bumpkins managed to get in here, but you are the one who snuck them in here. Birds of the same feather do indeed flock together.”“Don’t run your mouth just because your tongue is itchy, Teresa,” Russell said, surprising her and others because he called her by her name without any honorifics, which was something even Arnold never ever thought of doing.“Russell,’ Jennifer stepped forward in indignation. “How can you call grandmother by name? Call her grandma!”“I’d rather sing like a bird or bark like a dog or snore like your daughter than call this old woman my grandma,” Russell replied without a shred of hesitation, l
