Felix, already done with his bath, heard her shouting but ignored her completely. In fact, he acted like he hadn’t heard a thing.
"Hey, dickhole! Have you gone deaf or something?!" Meq growled from her room. Still, there was no response from him. "Someone needs to put this harlot in her place. I’m not her pathetic slave anymore," he muttered under his breath, smirking to himself. Left with no choice, Meq cuddled Dice, petting the baby until he fell asleep. Her face was tight with fury. How dare he ignore her? That wasn’t like him at all. Once Dice was sound asleep in his cot, she stormed downstairs. She threw open his door and began to hurl insults at him. "What the heck has gotten into you? Were you not the one I was talking to upstairs? Huh?! Don't start thinking too highly of yourself cause you're just a wretched poor thing I pulled out of the trash!” Felix, now dressed with his shirt half-buttoned and hanging open at the collar, looked up slowly. "Huh? Were you speaking to me… or to ghosts?" he asked icily as he glanced sarcastically around the room. That single response hit her like a slap. Combined with the mockery in his eyes, it left her speechless for a moment. She furrowed her brows, wondering what gave him the audacity to do that. "Wait, was it me you just gave that response to?" She questioned incredibly. "No… it was for the crazy person standing in front of me," he replied, lifting a brow coldly. Her big eyes went wider that they almost fell out of their sockets as she became even more surprised. Was this really Felix Drake? The same loser she knew?! He noticed her shock and scoffed as he buttoned his sleeves. Boiling with rage, she raised a hand to slap him, but he caught it in the air. "Don't even dare." He tossed her hands away. "And by the way… 'Miss.' Yes, I called you miss. Since, according to what I heard today, we’re not married, you’ve got no right to raise your hand at me,” Felix stated coldly as she gazed at him from head to toe, completely blindsided. This is so so so not FELIX DRAKE! Her face was blood red from anger as she barged out of his room, picked her purse and slammed the door on her way out of the house. Felix stood there for a moment, stunned by his own words. It wasn’t like him to talk back or even stand up for himself. Where did that courage come from? Maybe… his father. He felt like a huge burden had been lifted over his shoulders after finding his father. As if he knew he was thinking, a message beeped into his phone as he opened it and read it. "Let’s meet up, son. My driver will pick you up." Wait... His father? But how did he get his number? He didn’t dwell on it. Felix quickly stood up and went out of the house. He couldn't risk letting anyone know about his true identity. He saw a black Porsche driving towards the house as it halted the moment it spotted him. He advanced towards them, and two men in leather jacket and pants stepped out and bowed respectfully. The driver followed, dipping his head as he opened the back door. Felix felt flattered. He wasn't used to such dramatic scenes. It felt like he was a King that was being served by his guards But kept his expression stoic, squared his shoulders, and stepped into the car like he belonged there. The Porsche car started, and tore down the streets of MoperVille City. As they moved further, he noticed they were taking an unfamiliar route. Probably the outskirts? The car finally diverted left and a long driveway came into view. At the sides of the driveway, the beautiful vineyard of the Kim's estate stretched into the horizon, intensifying the beauty of the place. Felix looked ahead and saw the soaring skyscraper that extended far above the massive gate to the building. The gate opened slowly to reveal an opulent estate, sprawling farther than the eye could see. His jaws dropped and eyes widened. The length of the mansion was roughly 10,000 square metres or more, he guessed. The width of the whole estate extended far that he didn't even see the end. The building had a large circular fountain at it's front and a beautiful bold inscription at its peak, "KIMBER KIM'S FORTRESS.” "Welcome, Young Master. This is your first time in your home. All bow to the Master.” Felix entered the building and was received by the smiling Butler, Butler Dec who was standing the door side. Suddenly, a long line of staff formed on either side of the grand foyer: security personnel, gardeners, cleaners, chefs, maids, valet and more, putting Felix in the middle. They all bowed 90° to who just stood frozen in awe. What… was happening? Where is he? No, what on this Earth was he? Was his family that rich? Obviously, he was asking a stupid question. He didn't need a soothsayer to confirm it. "We are all happy to see you again, Young master Kim. Here, we should go in now,” Butler Dec said, motioning for him to enter. As he walked in, the employees dispersed off to their various duties, each wearing a smile at the arrival of their long, lost Young master. … “Holy heavens!" Felix's mouth was wide agape, his eyes running around the house. The interior was even more breathtaking. Two massive crystal chandeliers, one gold, one silver, illuminated the entire European-style mansion. The dazzling specks of lights danced off the furniture. Almost all furnitures were made of gold. There was even a golden statue of a little boy at a corner. Some stuff didn't even know the names of were everywhere. Everything sparkled with absurd luxury. He’d never imagined a place like this could exist. If the outer part was beautiful, then the interior will be perfect. "Young Mas—" Butler Dec’s voice snapped him out of his daze. Felix quickly adjusted his posture, trying fruitlessly to compse himself. He suddenly felt too underdressed to sit. His worn clothes were out of place among all this gold. With the way he looked, he didn't even fit for a cleaner in such a place. "You may sit. The master will join you shortly," Dec said with a slight bow, then excused himself. He didn't have the courage to taint the seats with the rags he put on, so he stood, still admiring the place "My son!" Felix turned as Kimber Kim strode toward him, arms open. "Welcome to our home, boy!" the man exclaimed, pulling him into a tight hug. His face was filled with smiles and fatherly love. Felix returned the hug. Finally, he saw one thing he was familiar with. Felix first broke the hug, still overwhelmed. "Dad… are you really this rich? Everything’s gold and other expensive materials! It’s like another universe in here." Kimber Kim laughed and gestured for him to sit. "Relax. Take a seat, son." Felix sat, albeit stiffly. "You’ve forgotten everything, haven’t you?" Kimber sat down gently. "Don’t you remember? I’m a Quadrillionaire." "What?!" Felix sprang up from his seat, slightly scaring the old man. Felix couldn't keep acting calm and composed anymore. "Yes, Felix. Haven’t you heard of Limbed Co., Hess Power Co., and Harriboard Corporation?" Felix nodded slowly. "Those are owned by the richest man in MoperVille…" Kimber smiled. "That would be me." Felix’s eyes welled up slightly. "You’re that man?" Kimber Kim reached across the table and took his hand. "And you, son… are the heir to every bit of my wealth I’ve earned in this world.” Felix eyes widened hearing what he said. He couldn't believe it. He was going to be A Quadrillionaire's Heir! The mere thought overwhelmed him. He never expected any of this to happen. From a worthless thing who once slept on floors to a Filthy rich man. As in, in a blink of an eye, he had suddenly become a vieux riche! All the wealth of the Kim's was going to be willed to him and handled by him. He was going to be the most respected and honoured man in the city, taking over from his dad. "Son, for now, we are going to keep your identity a secret; till the empire’s anniversary when you will be announced as my son and the heir to Kimber Kim's wealth.” "Whoa. Dad all these seems like a dream to me. Infact, I don't dare have such a dream... I mean, I thought I was just a bastard with no parents, not knowing I had a father out there. Even though I thought of it, I never expected that you'd be so wealthy." Kimber’s expression softened. "It was all my fault for letting you into trouble in the first place. People are out there watching for you, son. You own everything because someday I will be gone." Those words touched Felix's heart. He hadn't gotten all his memories yet and it hurt him a lot. But one thing was clear: he wasn’t powerless anymore. He heaved a sigh as he suddenly recalled how badly he was always treated by his wife and her family. Being treated like her nanny and houseboy. His mood got even worse when he remembered what happened the day before. How his wife cheated on front of him and still denied him. He suddenly came up with a plan. "Dad… I have a request." "Anything, son." "I want you to buy A.X. Corporation." Kim raised a brow. "That’s all?" Felix nodded confidently. "Yes. That’s all I want… for now." However, he has made his firm resolution— REVENGE. …Latest Chapter
221: Face to Face with the monster
Felix’s forehead wrinkled into a deep frown. “What are you talking about?”Jake didn’t reply.Felix slowly looked up. His eyes swept across the hidden room; the walls, the ceiling, the corners. There were no windows, no second door, no emergency exit.His expression hardened. He turned sharply and rushed toward the door. He grabbed the handle and yanked it but it didn’t budge.“Come on.” He pulled harder. The heavy metal door didn’t even move. He examined it and noticed there was no visible keyhole or interior release.“Damn it!”Felix slammed his shoulder against it.BANG!The door remained firmly in place.He stepped back, breathing heavily, then tried the electronic lock but it didn’t work either.“No, no, no, no…”He searched the walls, running his hands over every surface, looking for a hidden switch, a keypad, or anything. He even checked beneath the desk.But there was no way out.“Fuck!!!”He turned around to Jake who was still slumped against the chair, watching him with exh
220: Over for you and me
Back home, Elsa stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the sleeves of her jacket as she prepared to go for a walk.For the past several weeks, the silence had become something she hated. Several thoughts ran through her head. Was Jake even still... alive?Although the recent lead lifted her hopes, she was still troubled. Every time she heard a vehicle outside, a small part of her hoped Felix had finally returned with good news. She exhaled slowly and picked up her phone from the dresser.Maybe a short walk would help clear her head. She had barely taken two steps when her phone vibrated.She stopped and glanced at it. It was a message from an unknown number.Her heart began to thud.She clicked the message open and saw a photograph that halted her movement.Her blood ran cold. It was Jake, sitting in a dark chair.His head hung forward, his face was bruised and his hands appeared to be tied behind him. A smear of dried blood stained the corner of his mouth.For a moment, Elsa couldn
219: Infiltration
At 6:17 p.m., two white cleaning vans approached the northern gate.The guards immediately stepped forward. One raised his hand.“Stop.”The first van came to a halt. A guard approached the driver’s window.“Identification.”The driver handed over a badge. The guard examined it carefully.Behind the tinted windshield, Xander remained completely still.He was dressed in a gray maintenance uniform, a baseball cap pulled low over his face. Beside him sat Wrecking Ball, dressed as a cleaner, while Reaper sat in the back with Shadow.Nobody moved.The guard looked at the badge again, then at the tablet in his hand.“Why are you early?”Xander didn’t hesitate. “I’m here for generator maintenance.”The guard frowned. “We didn’t request generator maintenance.”Xander sighed dramatically.“That’s what I told the dispatcher.”The guard stared at him.Xander shrugged. “Call your supervisor.”The guard reached for his radio.That was the dangerous moment.The call must not go through.Phantom’s
218: Behind the walls
For several seconds, nobody moved.If that was Mark’s, then there was a great chance Jake would be held hostage there. There was finally hope.Then Silas straightened from the table. “How soon?”“Tomorrow,” Felix said.Xander looked at him. “Tomorrow?”“We leave before sunrise.”Kimber frowned. “You’re sure you want to move that quickly?”Felix's eyes remained fixed on the red dot blinking on the screen.“We've spent five weeks looking for Jake. I'm not wasting another hour.”Shadow nodded slowly. “Then we need to assume they're expecting us.”“They probably are,” Felix replied.That made everyone pause.Felix looked around the room.“That's why we don't rush in. We watch first. We learn how many men are there, what kind of security they have, how they move, where the entrances are, and whether Jake is actually inside.”Silas nodded. “Understood.”“The moment we find something useful, we move.”The guards began preparing immediately.Weapons were checked. Vehicles were fueled. Communi
217: Nothing.
The night bled into dawn before they even realized. The rain had stopped already.He did not return.*Felix stood at the warehouse gates, his eyes scanning the ground. They decided to come back to East Valley city and search the fight scene again. He found Jake’s phone smashed against a crate. Blood, though they were just small dots, had dried near the wall. But that was it. There was nothing else.“Are you sure this is the spot?” Kimber asked, his flashlight cutting through the dim light.“Yes.” Felix’s voice was flat. “This is where he fought Mark. I can feel it.”The guards spread out, sweeping the area. The place was spotless. The hundreds of bodies that had fallen were gone. The crates were neatly restacked and the floor was scrubbed clean. It was as if nothing had happened here.“Damn it!” Felix kicked a metal barrel. The clang echoed into the distance. “They cleaned it up! Everything! Every fucking trace!”“Son,” Kimber said softly, “don’t—”“No!” Felix cut him off, frustrated
216: Where’s Jake?
Back at the warehouse, Silas ripped open a sealed door leading to an escape tunnel. “Path clear!”“Go!” Shadow ordered.The seven of them began retreating through the tunnel, covering each other as they went.Felix looked back one last time at the chaos, the blood and the smoke. His heart was heavy as blood flowed from his thigh. He didn’t mind taking hits. He would do everything possible to protect his Elsa.They disappeared into the tunnel, leaving behind a burning warehouse and hundreds of fallen soldiers.They burst out of the back of the warehouse. Rain poured down in sheets, soaking their clothes and making the ground slick."Fuck." Felix bent over, placing his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. His lungs burned, his arms ached, and blood dripped from a cut near his jaw. Everyone else looked just as wrecked, groaning. Their faces were smeared with dirt, blood, and sweat."How did that bastard manage to hire top-class mercenaries, for one girl? And just to keep abus
