The Ultimate Heir. Chapter fifty-two
Shortly later, Zale got a second call from Livia, who informed him that the money had been transferred as he requested.While Livia was speaking, Zale received a credit alert of $100 million."Well done, you've done an excellent job. That's all for now. I'll have Carolyn double your salary," Zale said confidently, and without waiting for Livia to reply, he hung up.He then put his phone down, and concentrated on driving, without any specific destination in mind.However, a thought suddenly crossed his mind. "Isn't it about time I have a decent haircut? I can't keep going around with this messy hair," Zale pondered.Consequently, he pulled over by the roadside, took out his phone, and began searching for the most luxurious hair salon in the city.Without much delay, he located one; situated about 129 miles away."Although it's a bit far, I can drive there." He then started his engine and swiftly set off.The journey to the salon lasted about an hour and a half, but he eventually arrived

Zale's face darkened upon hearing that. He tilted his head sideways and took in the appearance of the individual that dared to mock him.The person in question appeared to be a seemingly well-off and influential young man, roughly his age."Gasp!" The onlookers were shocked when they recognized the person that had just arrived."Could it be? Isn't that Xavier, the young master of Ashborne Group?!" Someone from the crowd uttered in a wide shock of disbelief."That's him. I can't believe my eyes. I have heard some much about him, but finally seeing him in person is surreal," another person exclaimed, visibly shocked.The crowd that had initially gathered to witness the confrontation between Zale and the middle-aged man, was now completely captivated by Xavier's arrival. Even the middle-aged man himself was taken aback by Xavier's presence. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Xavier. He trembled at the mere thought of standing before someone of such influence.As the heir to one of

"Not so fast, Mister," Zale said, his mischievous smile unwavering. A wry smile appeared on Sophia's face upon hearing Zale's words. The latter didn't look like he'd give up anytime soon and that's exactly what she wanted.'It looks like this young man is set on acquiring this Orion Toad. I think this is going to be a fun show. In addition to vexing this bastard, I'll also earn more profit,' Sophia thought, pleased.At this point, the onlookers were completely engrossed in the scene. It wasn't every time one gets the opportunity to witness such an occurrence.A frown appeared on Xavier's face when he heard Zale's remark. He didn't plan to spend so much on the Orion Toad, but at the same time, he couldn't let Zale win. It'd be shameful to lose against someone so wretched-looking.He resolved to wait patiently for Zale's next bid price.After a moment of silence, Zale blurted out, "8 million! I will pay eight million dollars for the Orion Toad." His face beamed with a smile as he made t

A few moments earlier….After Zale ignored Xavier and walked up to the Orion Toad, Xavier's act of subjection turned into anger."This bastard, who does he even think he is? I admitted my wrongdoings, hoping for forgiveness, but he simply mocked me and left. Not only did he take the artifact I had already purchased, but he also tarnished my reputation. Truth be told, he should be the one apologizing to me, not the other way around. Since he refuses to accept my apology, I will have him at my mercy," Xavier fumed before rising to his feetSophia, who had been observing Xavier all along, couldn't resist mocking, "Look at who's kneeling on the floor, begging. Tell me, where is your pride? Didn't you consider how this would hurt your pride before acting? I'll tell you one thing: you deserve whatever consequences befall you, bastard."Sophia's words further infuriated Xavier. With rage in his voice, he turned to her and conveyed, "Once I'm finished dealing with this bastard, I'll come after

Zale emerged from the store, the midday sun casting sharp shadows on the pavement. His heart raced as he stepped onto the bustling sidewalk, discreetly clutching the artifact he had managed to purchase.His eyes flicked back to the store's entrance, where just moments ago, the guards had been left incapacitated by the mysterious individuals. He wanted to make sure he wasn't being followed.Everyone in the street was staring at him weirdly as his whole clothes were stained with blood, but Zale didn't care. He just wanted to get inside his car and get the hell out of there.Sliding into his car, he leaned back against the seat, the leather cool against his back. The engine purred to life, but his thoughts were far from the road ahead.As he stared at the artifact resting on the passenger seat, his thoughts were consumed by the whirlwind of events that had transpired at the store just a moment ago.The desire to own the artifact had ignited a chain of unforeseen consequences, transformi

When Sophia asked this question, although she didn't want to admit it, she was expecting the shattering news of Zale's death, because she had clearly seen him stabbed from behind, and the chances of anyone surviving such an operation were nil. "After the incident, some mysterious people showed up and took care of the situation. They quickly took care of the security personnel and then disappeared. I think they helped Mr. Zale and left him unharmed. But I don't think you should worry about Mr. Zale. The person who almost died in the incident was Mr. Xavier. He's in a coma right now and his family is ranting all over the place." Sophia was dumbfounded when she heard this. She didn't understand what the nurse was saying. What did she mean that Xavier was the person she needed to worry about?"Are you sure you know what you're talking about? I saw it with my own eyes, Xavier stabbed Mr. Zale. And what mysterious people were you talking about?" Sophia couldn't help but get confused.The n

Zale's brow furrowed as he stared at the seething manager and his burly companions. He hadn't expected his simple shopping trip for a phone to escalate into yet another confrontation. His instincts told him that leaving might be the best option, especially with the mounting anger in the manager's eyes.With a calm demeanor, Zale took a step back, raising his hands slightly in a gesture of surrender. "Look, there's obviously a misunderstanding here. I don't want any trouble. I'll just leave and we can sort this out calmly."The manager's eyes narrowed further, his face contorted with rage. "Misunderstanding? Do you think I'm a fool? You've been causing trouble here for a while, and today, you think you can just walk out of here without consequences? It doesn't work that way. I have finally caught you. Your companion might have escaped, but that won't be the case with you."Zale's confusion deepened. He had never been to this store before, let alone caused any trouble. The manager's a

Zale's grip on the steering wheel tightened as he understood the gravity of the news.The road ahead seemed to blur as his thoughts and feelings swirled.Fear and anxiety clouded his mind, and his reason slowly slipped away. It took everything he had in him to keep going."Why didn't you tell me about this before?" Zale's voice trembled slightly, a mixture of terror and frustration evident in his tone."I've been trying to reach you all this time, but your phone was off," Ace explained in a voice full of urgency.A wave of guilt flooded Zale. He hadn't realized his phone was off as he was so consumed by what was happening at the artifact store and his growing strength.Now the news of his grandfather's critical condition weighed heavily on his conscience."I…..I didn't know," Zale stammered, his words tinged with regret. He had only recently found out that his phone had gone off after the incident at the artifact store. "Tell me, Ace, what hospital is he in? I need to get there right

As Zale and Ace ventured beyond the gate, the air hung heavy with tension. They arrived in front of the mansion, which was guarded by three security guards.The guards were slightly taken aback when they saw Zale and Ace.Their comrades at the gate hadn't informed them of the arrival of any guest, so they were confused.They didn't have the slightest idea of the fight that had taken place outside; they were completely oblivious.The guard, who appeared to the leader, stepped forward and asked, “Who might you be, sirs?” His voice was polite and respectful.He thought that if his companion had allowed Zale and Ace entry, it meant they were esteemed guests of honor.Ace glanced at Zale and upon seeing the hidden smirk on his face, he understood what was going to happen.“We are honorable guests of your boss. Should you really be standing here asking questions or just step out of the way?” Zale asked, his voice stern.The guard shivered slightly when he felt Zale's gaze on him. “I…I’m so

The guard's eyes widened in shock, his expression transforming into a lethal glare directed at Zale."Who the hell are you, you bastard?" Despite his astonishment, fury seethed in his voice.Zale chuckled softly before responding, "I'm just someone who wishes to see your boss. We can avoid all of this if you tell your colleagues to let me in."The guard's eyes ignited with rage as he retorted, "Bullshit! If you don't want to leave peacefully, I will make you leave myself."The tension escalated, drawing the attention of the other guards who became alert to the hostility emanating from Zale.They stood ready, poised to open fire at a moment's notice if the need arose.Ace moved in closer to Zale and whispered in his ear, "I don't know what you're trying to do, but these guys are well-armed. I trust your decisions, but I must admit we are clearly at a disadvantage here. The shadow guards are nearby. I can send them a message, and they will take out these guys."Zale nodded, seemingly in

CHAPTER 178
In the aftermath of the charged meeting, Zale and Ace headed outside the building, toward the mansion.Zale's mind swirled with a mixture of determination and uncertainty, while Ace, ever stoic, maintained a vigilant presence.As they arrived in front of the mansion, Zale’s phone vibrated in his pocket. It was his grandfather."Zale," Oracle's voice resonated. For the first time in a long time, he called Zale by his name. "I've been monitoring the meeting. Bane's words have validity. Are you certain about this path you're taking?"Zale, undeterred, responded, "I've made my choice, Grandpa. This is a battle I must face, not just for myself, but for those who've suffered unjustly."The last part was talking about Oracle. The old man had gone through a series of emotional breakdowns after his son and his daughter-in-law died. It was one hell of a torture at that time.Oracle let out a sigh, a blend of regret and understanding in his simulated eyes. "I cannot dissuade you, but remember th

CHAPTER 177
The following day, Zale gathered his closest allies in a private meeting. The meeting took place in one of the buildings in Oracle's estate.The atmosphere was charged with tension as he addressed them, laying out the challenges they faced and the imminent battle against Asper.A middle-aged man interjected, "I don't harbor personal grudges against Asper, but I'm willing to assist you."Another guest joined the conversation, expressing disdain, "That kid is a rude brat. I recall the first day he invited me to his place. He subjected me to the worst humiliation of my life. I can never forget that day. Count me in; I'm ready to join and bring him down.”"While I don't hold a personal grudge against Asper, many of his allies are my enemies. Participating in this battle, I aim to indirectly confront my enemies.” Gradually, each person in the room consented to join the battle.Zale sat at the table's forefront, wearing a smile.Once he explained the purpose of the gathering, he observed as

About an hour or so later, Zale arrived at Oracle's estate.Zale went straight to his room the second he entered the mansion.He freshened up and changed his clothes. When he was done, he headed downstairs and had his breakfast.“Where were you last night, sir?” Leia inquired as they strolled out of the dining room.As usual, they were the only ones in the dining hall. Ace was said to have gone out of the mansion early in the morning.Zale chuckled mischievously. “Why, you miss me?”“Cough!” Leia feigned a cough and changed the subject.“Anyway, how did last night go?” She asked, curious.“If you're talking about your performance, I must admit; you did….” Zale began, but Leia cut in."Not that, sir. Ace has already filled me in on that a million times," Leia interjected with a pout. "You know what I'm referring to.”Zale paused as if thinking about it. “Are you by any chance asking about what happened between me and my girlfriend?” His smile had taken a mischievous glint.Leia let out

CHAPTER 175
Zale headed straight back to Oracle’s estate. He needed to have a serious conversation with Ace.He couldn't wait any longer. Asper had begun his move and he wouldn't just sit back and watch.“Now I have stopped to think about it, what later happened to Adams? I didn't see him again last night. I guess the security threw him out. After all, he had attacked me,” Zale muttered, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.‘Does this mean others now know about me?’ Zale mused excitedly.It was pretty easy to guess; Adams wouldn't keep what he saw last night to himself.Zale made it pretty clear last night that he was the one behind all of Jenkins's misfortune, so Adams would most certainly not keep quiet about it.“I’m glad things turned out this way. Although I doubt Adams' words would be enough to convince them.” Zale seemed pleased by the fact that he stumbled upon Adams last night.He didn't plan to suddenly show up claiming to be the new chairman of Adair Group. To him, that wouldn't be

The atmosphere in the room shifted, with Oracle grappling with the unexpected revelation. Zale, still chuckling, tried to ease the tension."Well, Grandpa, surprise! We kept it low-key for a while," Zale said, grinning. He wanted to gauge his grandfather’s reaction.Oracle sighed, shaking his head. "You always find a way to keep me on my toes. I hope you're serious about this, Zale."Zale's smile softened. "I am, Grandpa. Maya means a lot to me."Oracle studied Zale for a moment, then nodded. "As long as you're sincere and treat her well, that's what matters."Zale was a little taken aback when he heard that. He was confused, more like shocked.He had expected the old man to be greatly against the relationship but that didn't seem to be the case.“Seriously?” Zale couldn't help it. “Are you really not against our relationship?” He didn't expect such an outcome.“I mean, why?” Oracle pretended not to know anything.Zale gave the old man a dry look. “You're very bad at acting. You shoul

CHAPTER 173
Before long, Zale was ready to leave. He intended to head directly to his family mansion to visit his grandfather.“I will get going now, darling. Take care. I will call you later in the day.” Zale gently planted a kiss on Maya's forehead before he departed.Maya arranged a car to drive him there, therefore as soon as he arrived outside, he entered the car and left the mansion.Maya’s head guard, despite having the urge to wave at Zale while he was departing, had decided against it.What if all of this was a ploy to make him let his guard down? He couldn't help but think.“I have to be completely sure he isn't going to harm my young Miss. Only after then will I be at ease around him,” the head guard muttered to himself.The journey was long and full of silence. Adams was occupied with his thoughts, and thankfully, the driver wasn't interested in striking up a conversation with him either, so none bothered to say a word to each other.“I don't think I will be able to enter the Adair ma

CHAPTER 172
The room fell into a stunned silence upon hearing Elsher's speculation about Zale's possible connection to Adair Group. The family members exchanged bewildered glances, grappling with the implications of this unexpected twist. Azazel, breaking the silence, furrowed his brows and questioned, "Adair Group? What does that have to do with our troubles?"Elsher, maintaining her composure, explained, "Adair Group has substantial influence and connections. If Zale is indeed associated with them, it explains how he gained the resources and power to orchestrate our downfall.”"I discovered that Ace is aligned with the Adair family when I was researching the mysterious chairman of the Adair Group. Consider this – why would Zale have any association with someone like Ace if they weren't collaborating? It raises questions, especially regarding our acceptance of a contract from Adair Group. After mysteriously losing the contract funds, they still extended a substantial loan to us. Have you ever w
