The Ultimate Heir. CHAPTER 165
The head guard's suspicion lingered, but Zale's mischievous grin betrayed nothing."Curiosity killed the cat, young master. Just remember not to dig too deep; some things are better left buried," the head guard warned, his gaze piercing.Zale's grin widened. "I've never been good at taking advice, especially when it comes from someone like you. But I'll play nice for now. Don't worry, I won’t cause problems ... unless, of course, it's necessary ."The head guard's eyes twitched a bit when he heard Zale's last statement.Pascal observed the exchange with growing apprehension. He could sense the underlying tension and wondered how he had unwittingly become a pawn in this dangerous game.Zale decided it was time to wrap up the conversation. "Well, I'll continue my discussion with my little friend here. You're welcome to stay if you want. After all, I think you will like to hear the result.”The head guard watched him with a mix of suspicion and curiosity.He wanted to leave, but at the s

As the weight of Zale's threat settled, Pascal's face paled, fear etched across his features. The head guard, sensing the gravity of the situation, shifted uncomfortably but remained silent, bound by the duty to respect Zale's authority.Zale continued his call, his tone casual despite the sinister undertone. "Hello, buddy. What’s up?" he said, feigning a cheerful conversation. The contrast between his words and the tension in the air added an eerie layer to the scene.Pascal strained to hear the conversation, anxiety gnawing at him. Zale's sadistic smile persisted, his gaze fixed on Pascal as if daring him to expose the truth.Looking at Pascal, the head guard couldn't help but wonder if Zale was truly trying to unearth something.Zale's voice suddenly turned cold, addressing his caller. “I found something entertaining at Maya's mansion. Apparently, they have a spy. So I would like you to do something for me." He paused, allowing the implications to sink in.Pascal, beads of sweat
The Ultimate Heir. CHAPTER 167
The air thickened with tension as Pascal revealed his connection to Asper and their sinister plan to abduct Miss Maya. Zale's expression darkened, his eyes narrowing with a deadly intensity.His voice low and menacing, demanded further details. "Why does Asper want to abduct Miss Maya, and what is his ultimate goal?"Pascal hesitated, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. The head guard, though still seething with frustration and anger, listened intently.He couldn't believe he had been oblivious to the presence of a spy this whole time.Thinking about it made him very frustrated. Even though he didn't like Zale that much, he couldn't help but appreciate him for pointing out the mole amongst them.Zale, impatient yet calculating, pressed on. "Time is of the essence. Speak, Pascal, or your family's fate will be sealed."Pascal, fearing the consequences, stammered out the unsettling truth. "Asper thinks capturing Miss Maya would give him an advantage in persuading the Caddels to join
The Ultimate Heir. CHAPTER 168
Zale was enchanted by the ethereal sight that greeted him upon entering the room. The soft glow of ambient light highlighted Maya's silhouette, draped in a short nightgown that accentuated her curves. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as he absorbed the enchanting allure before him.However, the spell was abruptly broken when his keen instincts pulled him back to reality. His expression quickly shifted, although the smile on his face didn't diminish.Observing Zale's reaction, Maya couldn't help but smile subtly as a flush of bright red colored her cheeks.She hadn't expected that her attire would elicit such a response from Zale. In all honesty, she hadn't intended to seduce the young man. The nightgown she wore was her usual bedtime attire.“God, you're gorgeous, Maya,” Zale complimented, his words filled with admiration, as he slowly approached the bed and took a seat across from her.Despite Zale’s evident desire to hold her, he refrained, mindful of the respect he wanted
The Ultimate Heir. CHAPTER 169
As Zale absorbed Maya's revelation about the complex history between their parents, a determination to unravel the mysteries surrounding their families flickered in his eyes."We need to dig deeper into this, Maya. There might be buried secrets that hold the key to understanding our parents' animosity," Zale asserted, his mind already coming up with something.Maya nodded. "I agree. We need to find out what exactly happened between them.”Zale paused as if thinking about something. A few seconds later, he spoke, “I will ask my grandfather about it. You should ask your father about it too. After all, when resolving misunderstandings it's necessary to hear from both parties.”Maya let out a sigh. “I hope he tells me. He is very secretive.”Zale agreed with Maya. “My grandfather is secretive too, but that won't be a problem. Even if he fails to give me the information I seek, I have someone capable of unraveling any type of secret.” As he said that, he suddenly thought of Ace.Maya was r

Rody pondered briefly before inquiring, "You're familiar with the identity of that young man, aren't you?" His tone carried a hint of skepticism.For a moment, Asper struggled to grasp what he had just heard. "So? Are you questioning your ability to eliminate him?" He responded with a question of his own.Without uttering a word, Rody chose to exercise his right to remain silent."I couldn't care less about who he is, buddy!" Asper's expression darkened. "I want him eliminated, plain and simple. Don't tell me you doubt your capability. If you do, it would be a significant letdown.”After a period of reflective silence, Rody eventually spoke. "Alright, I'll handle it. Just to clarify, my hesitation wasn't rooted in fear but concerns about the aftermath. That young man holds a significant position in the military, and his death won't go unnoticed. Killing him could draw the attention of the entire military, and that's my worry. We're not strong enough to take on the entire military forc

Sasha's disdainful remark echoed through the room as the family members gathered on the ground floor of the mansion. Elsher, standing next to Adams, shot Sasha a stern look, silently urging her to withhold judgment.Adams, maintaining a calm demeanor, addressed the skeptical crowd, "I didn't come here to play games or settle personal disputes. What I have to say concerns all of you and the recent troubles your family has faced."Azazel Jenkins seethed with anger as Adams stood before him. The dispute between them had left a bitter taste, and now, faced with Adams, who he believed had brought everything upon them, Azazel was torn between his personal feelings and the pressing need for resolution.Adams, sensing the growing hostility from Azazel, spoke with a commanding tone that cut through the unspoken resentment. "Cut the bullshit, old man. I didn't come here for nonsense. Your family is in danger, and I have information that can help.”The family, accustomed to Adams' usual respect

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

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

CHAPTER 176
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

CHAPTER 174
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
