170: Filled with regret
From inside the stage, Meq had her eyes filled with tears that she could barely keep at bay. The salty tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over her lashes. Her heart clenched in her chest as she kept remembering all she said to Felix in the restroom, making it difficult to breathe.She had said too much without noticing the signs that Felix was showing. It was obvious, his sudden change in aura, his magnetic charm, his strength, his sharp words, and the way he carried himself.The realization was like a punch to the gut, leaving her winded and disoriented.She strained her brain to try and recall when it all started; when the subtle changes in Felix's character began. Her mind flashed back to the day he caught her cheating with Fred, her ex-boyfriend. Yes, that was it. After that night, he suddenly changed. At that time, she noticed a change in his eyes. The light in his eyes dimmed, and a new intensity she hadn't seen before took its place. It felt as though something
171: Send more boys to the control room
After Felix was announced as the new owner and made all the announcements, Jericho squirmed uncomfortably in his seat, sweating despite the cool air blowing from the air conditioner.On his face, you could visibly see the signs of disappointment, anger, frustration and more other emotions.Scott, noticing Jericho's discomfort, decided to provoke him further. "Oh dear, the AC is on, yet you're sweating like you're in the Sahara desert. Is there a problem?..... Or has the plot that was laid on a solid foundation crumbled?" He said slyly, a cunning smirk adorning his face, reminding of the words he said before.Jericho heard Scott's taunt and threw a side glance at him. His hands instinctively reached for his collar and loosened it, the heat getting even worse from the tension between them. He replied, "Plots laid on a solid foundation never crumbles; they only stumble. And with the right plan, they could come back to life. If you would excuse me, Mr. Scott Hitler."Without wasting anoth
172: reveal your boss's name and identity
"Nice plan, Jericho," Felix thought sarcastically in his mind. Unbeknownst to Jericho, he was standing just behind the pillar all this while, watching him closely and observing his every move after he came out of the hall. He had noticed Jericho leave angrily. After the rejection of the proposal, Felix discreetly slipped away to follow Jericho, suspecting he may try something else. And that was how he found himself listening to all Jericho said.His eyes were filled with reproach towards Jericho. The only thing that held him from outrightly jumping on Jericho and attacking him was the fact that Elsa was still in his custody. He would keep playing the defense game till he retrieved Elsa from him.*In the control room, as Jericho's men were being held down by Kim's henchmen, Jake walked into the place.His eyes moved over them, observing how they were tied together helplessly, and a wicked smirk curled across his lips."Nice job, minions of Jericho Vasley," Jake sneered, his voice dri
173:: Attack!
The Kim's henchmen tightened their grip on their weapons. Their eyes darted around, scanning the shadows for any sign of movement.The fold along Jake's forehead crumpled as his eyes narrowed into slits. He turned around and gave a signal to three of the men to go outside and check what was there.As they approached the door, their footsteps slow and cautious, their eyes were alert. The rest of the group held their breath, tense and ready, waiting for news from their comrades. They all stared at the door, their eyes sharp and watchful, looking for any hint of danger.But suddenly, a thunderous groan filled the air, breaking the silence and scaring everyone in the room. The henchmen outside had unexpectedly walked into a trap as one of them got shot. Panic took over as another gunshot echoed, followed by the chaotic noise of fast gunshots everywhere.Jake's heart pounded in his chest as he rushed outside to check the situation. It dawned on him that Jericho had sent some of his men to
174: Backup team arrives
Bullets bounced off the walls of the control room, breaking the glass panels and spreading the pieces everywhere. The Kim's henchmen were also doing a great job at securing the most important equipment that kept the technical arrangement working and ensured the guests did not get a hint of what was going on.Jake, who was a skilled fighter himself, moved smoothly, avoiding bullets, and delivering powerful punches to them. With every punch and kick, many of them decided to keep surrounding him so they could quickly take him down as he seemed like their source of power.But being the beast he was, Jake took down all of them as soon as they came for him. Meanwhile, outside the control room, the backup team from Felix arrived. Their footsteps echoed loudly as they stomped in. They quickly evaluated the situation, noticing that Jericho's men were decreasing in number, and that they subdued them now.When the backup team entered the room, it brought hope to Kim's henchmen who were still
175: Keeping the legacy
After a long while, the ceremony drew to a close, with a few people dispersing back to their various homes, while the rest staying over for the night in the rooms.Amongst these people, Felix also walked out of the place into a secluded hallway, coming across his father on the way. That was the hallway leading to the private rooms, where they would be spending the night. Kimber Kim spotted Felix and walked up to him, his face brightened up with smiles. "Hey dad," he called, striding up to him."Finally, son, finally. You're now the owner of the conglomerate, Kim's Empire." He said.Felix smiled back at him, his eyes glassy with affection. He could see it in his father's eyes how proud he was of him, and he was determined not to let him down."Felix, from today, all the power and wealth I've established will be passed on to you. You're now going to be the most feared in the world. The one and only Quadrillionaire. Felix, I wish you success as you carry on my legacy."Felix nodded. "Of
176: How to tell him?
Back at the duplex, Jen watched the TV, her eyes glued to the screen as she watched the breaking news unfold. Her expression shifted from surprise to bewildered as the shocking revelation hit her like a ton of bricks. The man she had been living with all this time, was none other than the owner of Kim's Empire, the largest conglomerate in existence?!"What the fuck?!" she exclaimed, unable to contain her disbelief. Her mind was flooded with countless questions, and she struggled to make sense of it all. How could she have been so blind to see his true identity?As the news report continued, a lot of thoughts raced through Jen's mind. But why didn't they tell her though? Because it appeared that Elsa also probably knew about it, or didn't she?Wow, this was a mind blowing revelation. She had been so casually living and chatting, and even causing troubles for such a figure. Jen's thoughts drifted to the ease with which she had employed Kingsley Quince as her lawyer.It all seemed too
177: First day as a CEO: Making plans
The morning sun rose over the crystal blue waters as Felix stirred from a long night sleep. His eyes flickered open as he tried to adjust his eyes to the sunlight seeping through the window.The sleep was spot on and relieved from all the stress of yesterday's events. Yesterday....Felix remembered all that happened. Right from his entering into the cruise ship, meeting his other family members, meeting D'Angelo and Meq in the toilet, the attempted kidnap, and his dramatic entrance. It was all so fast that it felt unreal. He looked up and a gold-leafed ceiling high above the enormous bed, adorned with curtains of fine silk stared back at him.Felix stretched leisurely against the soft and comfy beddings. He didn't have the time to study the architecture of the room last night, so it felt like he was seeing a different place.His gaze traveled across the white walls that were decorated with hints of mahogany and the gold chandelier hanging from the ceiling.Priceless works of art wer
178: First day as a CEO: Meeting with executives
Felix strode through the hallways of Kim's Empire headquarters, his well-polished shoes clicking against the floor. All around him, employees in crisp suits nodded respectfully as he passed.This was the central place where Kim's Empire was managed. And from today on, Felix was in charge.As he approached the elevator, he noticed his reflection in the metal door; his tie was perfectly straight, not a hair out of place. He looked every inch professional and charismatic. When the doors slid open, he entered alone. As the elevator rose steadily to the 300th floor, he prepared himself for the long day head.The elevator doors opened with a soft ding, revealing an anteroom outside the boardroom. Through the tall glass windows, he could see the senior executives already seated around the gleaming table. Felix squared his shoulders and strode through the double doors, the murmurs immediately ceasing as all eyes turned towards the new leader.This was the first time he was meeting with ever
179: First day as a CEO: Hiring new employees
"Yes, CEO Kim. It's going to generate a lot of income for the hotel. Do you have a problem with that?" Alexander asked, confused at why Felix brought it up. "It's nothing. Just wanted to check on our top investments. Glad that the business is booming," he said, wearing a smile to lighten the atmosphere. "I'm impressed by the exceptional work of each division under Hess Power CO. Now, to Limbed Corporation. Mrs. Rebecca Turner?"Standing up, Rebecca effortlessly displayed a well-prepared presentation on the screens with a simple tap. "Thank you for giving me this chance, CEO Kim," she smiled.Graphs and diagrams appeared, illustrating Limbed's achievements in different areas. "Limbed Automobiles has been very successful in providing great services to passengers. We've worked hard to make the travel experience better, from making check-in easy to giving personalized services on our automobiles," Rebecca explained.Felix was engrossed as he watched a video showcasing smooth vehicles cru
