Rise of The Unknown Billionaire

Chapter 6

Andrew drove Ethan in the luxurious car to a mini mansion on the outskirts of the city. 

Ethan has a lot of emotions that were still surging through him on the way but he was still left a bit awed the moment he took in the sight of the cozy mansion. Even though that bastard Philip had a larger house, it couldn't compare to the grandeur of this house that he had just arrived at. 

However, he wasted no time and was guided into the lavish building by Andrew.

"No need to be so tense, young master. It is just one of the numerous little hideouts that belong to your family. It is where I stay every time your father asked me to check on you." Andrew revealed. 

Ethan nodded his head and took his mind off the matter. 

"So explain, who are these people who chased my father to the brink of death and also made him abandon me all this while?" Ethan asked with slight anger in his tone. 

Andrew immediately got serious and wasted no time in filling Ethan in on all the details about his family and their immense wealth. 

"Your father was like a king, and you are of royal blood..." Andrew began as Ethan drew a breath. 

"He ruled over a conglomerate of families which managed this country and a lot other countries from the shadows. It has been the position of your family to rule for many decades now. 

"But, just before you were born, your mother was poisoned by a family that was staging a coup against your family. Your mother died in the process of giving birth to you..." Andrew confessed with a heavy tone. 

Ethan swallowed hard. Not only had his father died, but even his mother had died while giving birth to him. 

Andrew continued. "You were lucky to survive but your father had to make sure that you survived so he pretended as though you had died while he secretly sent me to drop you at the orphanage." 

"Even though those despicable families had achieved what they wanted, they still wanted the throne fast enough and drove your father to the brink of death. But your father tried his best to survive till today." Andrew recounted as he balled his fists in anger.

Ethan remained silent. All the new information hit him like an ocean wave and he just sat as he gazed into the ceiling with a ruminating gaze. It was a lot to take in. 

There was just one thing that was in Ethan's mind now; it was rage. 

Those bastards who had betrayed his father and plotted against his family had to pay for their atrocities one way or another. 

"What's the name of that family?" Ethan asked Andrew as he placed his gaze on him. 

Andrew saw that Ethan's face looked calm but there was an unsettling feeling that Andrew got when he looked into those eyes. He felt a shiver run down his spine as he answered faithfully. 

"They're known as the Habsburgs, young master." Andrew replied with a bit of tension. 

"A befitting name. I'm going to crush them like the bugs they are." Ethan said without a change in expression. 

"For that, I'm going to need your help, Mr Andrew." Ethan requested while looking at Andrew square in the face. "I will need to know about this 'bugs' family before I start making my plans." He said as Andrew listened. 

"I will get you the information as soon as I can." Andrew replied with an enthusiastic face. He was also looking forward to vengeance on the people who had made the life of Ethan and his father miserable. 

"Thank you very much for the help. I will be awaiting positive results." Ethan said with a tone of authority and gratitude to which Andrew nodded. 

Ethan winced in pain as he attempted to move, the beating that he had received from Matthew's thugs were still having an effect on him. 

Andrew immediately called one of the regular maids in the house and had her attend to Ethan's bruises and showed him where to rest. 

Later in the evening, Ethan woke up from his rest and had a lengthy discussion with Andrew. 

It was then that Andrew began to explain the nature of Ethan's inheritance to him. Apart from most of the properties that his father had lost to the traitors, most of the wealth that Ethan earned was in funds. 

When amount heard the staggering amount of money that had been transferred over to him, he felt lightheaded and numb from the shock. It was unbelievable for someone who had just been fired from his pathetic cleaning job that morning. 

"The money is available to you right now and you can do whatever you choose to do with it." Andrew said with a hint of pride.  

Ethan's mouth was agape at the amount of money but he quickly regained his composure. "Is that all the wealth?" He asked. 

"Not at all." Andrew replied. "Most of the others have been seized but here is a list of the properties we still have and the cars that are all over the country in safehouses." Andrew said as he handed a little note that highlighted all the properties. 

Ethan jumped in shock. Even after a lot had been stolen, there was still so much left? He kept reading and reading until he got tired and he hadn't even finished going through the list. 

This amount of wealth was not something that even 10 president's joined together could achieve. If there was a better word to describe his heritage, it would be called an empire. 

Ethan sat back on his chair with a fervent seriousness on his face. Yes, he was now rich. But a lot of the wealth just showed the responsibility that was now on his neck. 

'How did father manage this?' Ethan thought worriedly while also admiring his father's strength at the same time. 

He was about to ask Andrew for advice when one of the maids that had helped him with his wound knocked on the door and showed a tablet to Andrew who frowned deeply. 

"What is it?" Ethan asked. 

"A crazy person has created a scandal about you on the internet." Andrew reported through gritted teeth.
