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

Suddenly he swayed. His hand shot out to the wall for support. His face had gone pale and his vision blurred.“Boss!”Phantom rushed forward and caught him before he hit the floor.Felix grabbed his side and sucked in a sharp breath. Everyone immediately noticed the blood seeping through his shirt.Shadow frowned, pushing himself up despite the protest from his shoulder. “What happened in there?”The adrenaline that had carried Felix through the hidden room was finally crashing. A sharp, burning pain flared along his left side.“Jake is alive,” he said. “He’s inside the hidden room.”Shock rippled through the group.“Then why are you bleeding?” Silas asked.“As soon as I entered the room, I saw Jake and wanted to get him out, but the door wouldn’t open. Then Mark began speaking to me through a speaker. He was watching me—with Elsa.”“Elsa?”Confusion and alarm spread across their faces.“Is that why he cut off contact with the mansion?” Phantom said, realization dawning.Felix nodded.

He turned to see Wrecking Ball charging out of the garage, blood covering his face. Somehow, despite everything, he was still standing.“Wrecking Ball?”“Move!”Three attackers rushed toward Phantom, but Wrecking Ball intercepted them, slamming one against a tree, knocking another aside, and driving the third into the ground. He dragged him towards a blind spot. “What went wrong?” He asked.“Mark took control of the systems. He set us up,” Phantom replied, holding his head. He then turned to him. “Can you get me inside?”Wrecking Ball glanced toward the villa.“Can you get us back in control?”Phantom looked down at his shattered equipment, then toward the villa. “I can try.”“Good enough. Let’s go get the rest.”…After reaching a side entrance, Wrecking Ball forced the door open.Several armed men immediately turned toward them.“Stop!”Wrecking Ball stepped in front of Phantom.“Keep walking.”Gunfire erupted.Wrecking Ball charged forward, drawing the attackers' attention.Phant

***Just After Felix Entered The Hidden Room—The moment Felix disappeared into the hidden passage, Mark’s trap activated.One by one, the doors throughout the building locked.In the command vehicle, Phantom’s fingers froze above his tablet.“What the—?”Every camera feed on his screen flickered.The loop he had created vanished and the live feeds returned.His stomach dropped. “Fuck!”How could this happen?“Felix? Silas? Shadow? Xander? Reaper? Wrecking Ball?” He tried to contact each of them but neither responded. Instead, he was greeted with the sound of static.The communication channels had gone dead!Oh no, what was happening?He immediately switched to the mansion channel.“Master Kim? Scott?”Neither responded.Phantom stared at the screen in horrifying realization. “They fell into a trap!”Then the villa went completely dark.A second later, dim red emergency lights came on.---Shadow stood outside the bookshelf, his hand still hovering near his weapon. The footsteps we

The blade came down.Jake's body jerked violently and a strangled gasp escaped him.The knife slipped from Felix’s hand and clattered onto the floor.For one horrible second, everything was silent.Then Jake’s head fell forward. His body went limp against the restraints.“JAKE!”Elsa’s scream tore through the room.Felix stood completely still. His breathing was ragged and his hand trembled.Blood was already spreading across Jake’s clothes.Elsa stared at him in horror.“Jake…”Her voice broke.“No…”She shook her head frantically.“No, no, no…”Felix suddenly stepped forward and caught Jake before his body could slump completely. He pulled him against his chest.“I’m sorry.”His voice was barely audible.“I’m so fucking sorry.”He buried his face against Jake’s shoulder.His shoulders began to shake.Elsa covered her mouth, trying desperately to hold back another scream.Mark watched the scene without a hint of sympathy. He had gotten what he wanted. The man Felix had trusted more t

Jake, still bound to the chair, could barely keep his eyes open or process everything being said. But the moment he heard Mark’s ultimatum, his eyes shot toward the camera in disbelief.For a moment, he couldn’t process what he'd just heard.“Kill me…?”His gaze slowly shifted toward Felix.Felix looked as though he’d been struck.Jake’s expression softened.“Felix…”“Don’t.” Felix immediately shook his head, his voice trembling. “Don’t say anything.”He already knew what Jake was going to say.And he wasn't about to listen to that bullshit.Jake swallowed. He knew Felix was already searching for a way to save them both. But they both knew there was no way out of this without someone paying the price.A faint, bitter smile touched Jake’s lips.“Don’t you dare let him make you choose.”“Jake, stop!”“Felix, my duty as your bodyguard is to dedicate my life to serving you and your family. That includes the people you love.” His voice softened. “If it comes down to me or Elsa… save her.”
223: The ball is in your court. Choose.
“MARK!” His voice exploded through the speakers. “STOP TALKING!”Mark’s head snapped toward the laptop. He stared at Felix for a moment, then a slow, knowing smile spread across his face.“Oh…” He chuckled under his breath. “Oh. You didn’t tell her.”Felix’s face drained of color. He looked like a man watching a building collapse in slow motion.“SHUT THE FUCK UP, MARK!”Mark laughed softly, almost delighted. “I mean, come on. You two are practically building a life together. I assumed she would have known.”Elsa slowly turned toward the laptop.“Felix?”Felix swallowed hard.“Elsa…”“What is he talking about?”Felix opened his mouth. Nothing came out.“Felix?”The silence lasted a second too long.Mark’s laughter sharpened. “Wow. You really kept that a secret? Why? Because you’re scared she’ll hate you?”Felix slammed his fist against the surface in front of the camera.“Stop trying to twist her head! Elsa, don’t listen to him—”“Get to the point, Mark!” Elsa’s voice was rising. The
