Mysterious Trillionaire Kingpin

7: The fake heir is the real heir

Everyone was shocked to say a word.

“You mean you know this young man?” Kyle asked at last.

If truly someone like Gilbert knows Noah, then Aria could have been telling the truth about him being the heir.

“I may be old but I don't have bad eyes,” Gilbert responded.

Kyle tried to laugh while everyone still stared, unable to say a word. Even Aria was shocked. She never expected that one of the lies could be real. Noah was supposed to be very poor because that was what he was when they were still in school.

“Well then, if you don't mind. It has been a while since I've seen him. I will need to steal him for a moment, if you don't mind.”

Kyle laughed again. “No, Mr Gilbert, we don't mind. Noah is my daughter's boyfriend. So we can always meet some other time,” he gave his permission instantly.

Gilbert smiled at this and looked at Noah again, who was too shocked to move or say a word.

“Follow me please,” Gilbert said softly. It almost sounded like he was begging, begging the young master to follow him but there was also a hint of excitement in his voice.

Noah glanced at Aria before he followed him out of the room.

The room exploded immediately he stepped out. 

“So, Aria was right?”

“He's really an heir?”

Different comments started to pour in but even Aria was too shocked to reply.

Noah followed them to the parking lot. Gilbert moved to a black Mercedes-Benz, a car that cost over 135 million dollars. Noah knew so much about cars. This particular car was very expensive. This means the man was fully loaded. Then, he wasn’t lying about what he said earlier.

Gilbert got inside the car first but Mike was suddenly holding the door for Noah to enter, his head slightly bent in respect.

Noah was still confused. What was going on?

“I can never be mistaken! It's really you.” Gilbert said the moment the door closed against them, excitement coursed through him.

“I don't understand. Who are you?”

“Alaric’s spade, do you have it?” He asked and when he saw Noah's expression, he smiled. “You must have seen the card because that was what alerted me about your whereabouts.”

Noah instantly remembered the card he saw in the game console. He took it out of his pocket and stretched it out.

“You mean this?”

“Alaric Spade!” Gilbert muttered, then looked up, a smile suddenly tucking at the side of his face. “You look so much like your father. I thought I was dreaming.”

“You know my father?”

Gilbert nodded. “Yes. In fact, I'm not a friend of your father. Your father was my boss. He's the world's number one mafia Lord in Casington.”

What!

“And you, you are the lost son of his, Noah Cedric!”

What! No way! His mind was reeling. He was truly Noah Cedric, the man he was supposed to impersonate?

Shock kept Noah motionless and speechless for a while. Different thoughts were curling in his mind in some sort of crazy confusion.

Then, suddenly he had a flash. A young boy was holding onto a game console as if his life depended on it. Then, a soft voice beckoned him over. 

Noah was suddenly back in the car. He looked up at Gilbert again. “You mean I am really an heir of a prominent family in the capital?”

Gilbert nodded quickly. “Yes, I have a lot to tell you but now is not the place. I don't know if you won't mind coming with me to the party. There's someone you need to meet. She will give you the full explanation you need.”

Noah nodded quickly. 

A few minutes later, they pulled into the Olive and Dine parking lot.

Wait what! 

Gilbert was so happy seeing Noah, that a nice smile was plastered on his face as he led Noah inside.

Just as Noah had thought, the place was swarming with bigwigs. Who would have thought he would be able to attend such an important occasion?

“Please, spare me a few minutes,” Gilbert said suddenly. “ Let me get the person for you. She will be so happy to see you.”

Gilbert quickly hurried away and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Noah's gaze searched around. He wondered who Gilbert was going to bring over. In all his life, he had never thought he could be important. But he was not important alone, he was the heir of a known mafia Lord. Noah was still in shock.

How could he be Cedric?

“Noah? What are you doing here?” A familiar voice said suddenly, interrupting his thoughts. It was Violet, one of the hotel waitresses. 

Noah looked at her. She was in her uniform, apparently, she was serving at the moment. 

They have always looked down on him anyway, especially because they easily got tips and access to VIP people more than him.

“Seriously? It's really him,” Sandra said, suddenly standing beside Violet.

“How dare you come here? We all know you have been fired. What are you still doing in this hall?”

“He's not supposed to come here and he's not even wearing his uniform,” Sandra laughed. “He must be here to beg for money. Since he has been fired, I doubt he has a place to stay. And he also has to feed.”

They all laughed.

“How did you even enter without an invite?”

“He must have sneaked in. It's something he can do.”

Noah smiled. “Well, for your information, I didn't. I was let in by someone of high importance which means my position here is higher than yours.”

The girls looked at each other in one instance and suddenly burst into laughter.

“Leave now!” It was Violet who sobered up first. “Or I will call the security on you. And mind you, if I do, you will be arrested for intending to come here to steal from these bigwigs.”

Noah laughed. These people were used to looking down on him. Even before the whole issue with Chloe happened, they had abused him so that he wasn't worthy of her. Most times, they break assets in the suites and lie against Noah. 

The manager never believed him and he was always made to pay for the damages with his salary.

“I'm not leaving unless you all want to offend the bigwig who let me in.”

They laughed again. 

“That's it! Security!” Violet yelled.

Soon, two security men hurried forward.

“Get him out! And have him reported to the manager!”

The security men moved closer to Noah to bundle him out. Noah didn't want to fight them now because it was going to ruin someone's party.

However, it was at that moment that Gilbert saw them from afar. Hot anger surged through him at the unpleasant sight in front of him.

He hurried closer

“What do you all think you are doing?” He boomed angrily.
