The Secret Successor CHAPTER 570
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

The sky-bridge connected to the headquarters building on the 99th floor.Kyra came with Nora in a green Lamborghini Aventador. She purposely didn’t come in Alpha Wolfe car as Nora also wanted to drive in a green car.But at the parking zone, they came across the Heller family.Roddick was smiling at her with cheekiness. “You look gorgeous in a sky blue dress, Kyra.” He looked very healthy right now. Clearly, he went through some major changes physically, which was evident to her.His eyes also showed a sense of lust, which not only creeped Kyra out but also angered her.“Keep talking if you want to die early,” Kyra didn’t spare him more than a glance.“Oh, you are already walking with someone who’s getting ready for her funeral,” Roddick said, talking about Nora. “Or maybe, she already has one foot in her grave already.”Kyra’s blood boiled, and she was stepping toward him, which was exactly what Roddick wanted.“Kyra, let’s not waste our energy on a filthy worm,” Nora uttered.Kyra

“I’ll ask you a simple question,” Jessica was talking with Russell. “If you give the correct answer, I’ll talk with my boss so that you’ll get the gaming gear for a huge discount.”“But I already bought the gear the other day,” he said.“Eh?” Jessica was shocked. “T-Then, I’ll try to get you some services from the company for a discount.”“Mm, alright. Throw the question,” he said.“Whose chest is heavier?” Jessica asked. “Yours or mine?”“Pfft,” Kyra who just arrived there ended up spilling the wine in her mouth.Russell and Jessica turned to face her.Kyra looked embarrassed. “Uh, ahem, hello, Russell.”Jessica’s eyes slightly widened, but she quickly said, “What the hell do you want with him?”Kyra frowned. “I’m talking with him. What’s your problem?”“He’s my man,” Jessica quickly locked her arm around Russell’s arm. “So, of course, his problems are also my problems.”“W-What?” Kyra was shocked.“Stop going overboard, Jessica,” Russell removed Jessica’s hand, making her pout a li

Elora was aimlessly exploring, observing different guests. Her eyes happened to fall on Liam who was talking with a famous reporter who was one of the few that was allowed to enter the building.“Mr. Liam, how many flats are you going to buy in this building?” the reporter asked. She was also around the same age as Liam, and she seemed very excited to talk with him. Judging by her looks, she prepared well before coming to talk with him. “If not, you must at least be planning to buy one or two high-rises in Creed Zone, right?”“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” Lima replied. “Mr. Regan has made it absolutely clear that these buildings are not for residential use, so they are not for sale for anybody, even for other billionaires. If he could sell them, towers like these would not get UDS(undivided share) validation by the government, unless of course, he really pays them well in secret. Also, it would be impossible to give these flats to thousands of people, unless they’re really stupid
