The Strongest Heir

Chapter 5

"Young Master," said the 40-year-old man who had just arrived in front of Kenric.

 

Kenric made a cold face. "Who sent you?" he asked.

 

Kenric recognized the man who had just arrived; he was Alex, one of his family's men. But remembering the family driver who harmed him last time, Kenric couldn't trust anyone in his family, except his grandfather.

 

"I am a loyal servant of Mr. Dipo," Alex said as he pulled out a jade from his pocket. Alex gave the jade to Kenric.

 

Then Alex turned to the four people who had met Kenric earlier and signaled for them to show the same jade.

 

'So they are grandfather's men,' Kenric thought after seeing all the jades that were the hidden characteristics of Mr. Dipo's men, his grandfather.

 

"Forgive us, young master. Yesterday, these four people impulsively deceived you. Actually, yesterday they reported to me, and I gave them orders to continue following you. It's just that I didn't specifically give the order because I was having some problems at the port," Alex said while kneeling in front of Kenric.

 

Yes, besides the shining business of the SIA company. Kenric's grandfather also had a business in the underworld, namely the illegal arms trade. And Kenric was the one who had been trained since childhood to be Mr. Dipo's successor, but Kenric preferred to be an ordinary person who lived casually.

 

"So?" Kenric was still staring with a cold expression on his face.

 

The four people beside Alex also knelt down. "It's all our fault," they said in unison.

 

Kenric turned to stare at the four men. "So you came here to receive punishment? Are you willing to have me shoot you all in the head?"

 

Immediately, the four people glanced at each other at Kenric's words, but not a word came out of their lips. After a while, finally one of the four people answered, "We are ready to accept punishment!"

 

The scream of the person who said that while closing his eyes made Kenric let out a long sigh. "Stand up!" Kenric ordered.

 

A moment later, Alex stood up, followed by the four people near him.

 

"Give me a more reasonable explanation," Kenric said.

 

"Originally, these four people were assigned to find the family driver who took you away from the hospital, but suddenly they saw you in a car with a woman. So they immediately followed you.

 

But because they saw you running away, they thought you were in danger and decided to disguise themselves as police to find out more about you. Alex explained.

 

'Ah, so it was all a misunderstanding,' Kenric thought, massaging his temples.

 

"Okay," Kenric said as he returned Alex's jade. "So what are you doing here? And how are things at home?" he asked while removing the hat that covered the bandage on his head.

 

"We came here to fetch you as instructed by the Great Master," Alex said. "And right now, Madame and Mr. Brayen are busy looking for you secretly. Everyone is trying to hide your disappearance from the media."

 

"Huh." Kenric smiled sarcastically. "Is it true that a woman is looking for me? This is really funny."

 

Alex frowned at the expression on Kenric's face.

 

"Are you surprised?" Kenric asked Alex. Then he put his hat back on. "Tell grandfather that I won't be coming home for a while. I have a job outside. And doesn't my grandfather want me to gain experience? So also tell him that I'm looking for experience like he wants."

 

"But, young master, there will be an election for the next company leader soon, shouldn't there—" Alex stopped his sentence when Kenric signaled him to be quiet.

 

 

"I know what you want to say, but I have my own way. Tell my grandfather to let Mrs. Reya announce my death in public. I want to see how that two-faced woman plays the good stepmother one last time," Kenric said.

 

'So this accident has something to do with Mrs. Reya,' thought Alex, who could deduce everything from Kenric's words.

 

"Yes, sir, I'll tell the great lord everything you said," Alex replied.

 

"Good. Then you can leave now!" Kenric ordered.

 

However, Alex didn't immediately answer 'good' as usual.

 

"What's wrong?" asked Kenric.

 

"Is there a number or anything we can use to contact you, Young Master?" asked Alex politely.

 

'Ah yes, I forgot about this,' Kenric thought as he closed his eyes for a few moments.

"Yes, I forgot about this. It was only yesterday that I was discharged from the hospital, and I was so busy with various things that I forgot about this matter," said Kenric.

 

"Can I help you? Alex signaled his men to hurry and find a cell phone for Kenric. "Your previous cell phone was found on the shores of Aroela, so we searched the shores of Aroela and the sea there but found no sign of it."

 

Kenric leaned his body against the body of the car beside him. "Then why aren't people declaring my death?"

 

"Mr. Dipo forbade that. Right now, some of us have been ordered to search for you on the island closest to Areola's shores," Alex replied.

 

Kenric smiled slightly. "That woman is really sneaky. I wasn't even there at the time; it looks like she planned this very carefully."

 

"So we've been fooled?" Alex was surprised.

 

"Yes, exactly. But I wonder who the person was who supported her so that she could deceive you all. Usually Papa is a meticulous person, even he could fall for that woman's trick this time," Kenric said.

 

"Mr. Brayen should know about this," Alex growled.

 

"No, papa can't know this now. After all, I don't have enough evidence to bring that woman to justice," Kenric said, clenching his fists tightly.

 

After waiting for 10 minutes, one of Alex's men finally returned with a cell phone and immediately gave it to Alex.

 

"Sir, please," Alex said as he handed the phone and an ATM card to Kenric. "This is my card, please use it for the time being. I will take care of it after this."

 

"Alex, I'm not as weak as you think. This cell phone is enough for me right now." Kenric refused to take the cell phone offered by Alex.

 

No, young master, it is my honor to be able to help you. I already owe you a lot; at least please accept my meager help," said Alex as he handed back his ATM card while bending his back, a sign that he really hoped Kenric would accept his ATM card.

 

"Okay, then I accept this card. Kenric took the card. "And can I ask you one more favor?"

 

"Of course," Alex replied quickly.

 

"Please investigate the woman named Naomi Kitman and also find out what she's been doing for the past few years!" Kenric ordered.

 

"Naomi Kitman," muttered Alex as he furrowed his brow.

'I think I've heard this name before, but where?' Alex thought.

 

Four hours passed, and Naomi finally returned to the parking lot with a happy face.

 

"Did you make it, Miss?" asked Kenric as he opened the back door of his car.

 

"Of course I did. If I hadn't, I would have killed the person who interviewed me," Naomi replied as she got into the car.

 

Then Kenric also got into the car. "So what are you applying to work as?"

 

"Of course, the secretary to the president's director candidate," Naomi replied as she leaned her back on the car seat.

 

Meanwhile, Kenric began to drive the car away from the SIA company area. "Who are you referring to?"

 

"Of course Harold Usberk, who else?" Naomi replied casually.

 

'She seems very eager to be Harold's secretary, what's the point?' thought Kenric as he looked at Naomi through the glass above his head.

"I'm sorry, Miss, but I've heard some unpleasant news about this man named Harold—"

 

"You want to ask about Harold's perverted rumors?" interrupted Naomi.

 

"So you've heard it too?" Kenric became even more curious.

 

Hahaha! Naomi laughed out loud. "Because he's a pervert, so I came to him. If he wasn't a pervert, then I never would have come to work here."

 

'What does that mean? Does this woman have a problem with Harold? Or does she have a

order, being attracted to perverts?' Kenric thought as he observed Naomi's facial expression through the glass above him.
