The Heir's Dominance

Chapter 9

"Damn Julius!" cursed Ron as he kicked the gravel on the side of the road. The passing vehicles' noise and the air's heat made his irritation grow.

Remembering Julius' face when he and Tina had been thrown out in disgrace made his hands clench into fists. Anger overcame him with a raging breath. He wanted to punch Julius and stomp him into begging for mercy!

"We have to get back at that rat, Ron! I won't take it!" Tina shouted as she stomped through the smoke-filled streets.

She waved her hands in front of her face to block out the fumes. When she was annoyed, car horns being honked impatiently annoyed her. Moreover, the sun seemed to be shining overhead.

"Yes, we have to get back at him! Damn, every time I think of his lowly face I want to beat that poor guy with both hands!" Ron was still on a roll.

Until a call on Ron's cell phone made him stop at the side of the road. The man stared with furrowed brows as the number from his bank popped up.

"Hello?" he greeted with a raised hand as Tina tried to speak and asked who was calling. The girl frowned, too, as Ron's face became cloudy.

"What? Bills? But, isn't it still not due yet? You can't unilaterally decide like that!" he shouted in exasperation.

Hearing the word 'bill', Tina naturally panicked. She moved closer to Ron to hear more clearly what they were discussing.

"Sir, it can't be like that! You can't just seize our assets! The due date is still a long time away. We can't pay it off anytime soon. Give it to us, Sir! Wait a moment! Sir? Hello?" Ron pulled out his cell phone to see if the call was still going on or not.

Ron grabbed his own hair, he was panicking and couldn't think straight. The fear of losing his assets and falling into poverty was giving him a headache.

"Damn it!" he cursed with his arms swinging, almost slamming the phone. The man rubbed his face in frustration as Tina made a confused face, waiting for his explanation.

"The bank called, we have to pay off all the bills in three hours!" he said with a harsh sigh.

Tina, with her shrill voice, responded. She ruffled her hair, which felt hot and smoky. "What? Three hours? Are they crazy? That's ridiculous!" Tina responded without a solution.

"And they're going to seize our assets if we can't pay them back quickly! Shit! Where are we going to get that kind of money?" complained Ron, now clenching his fists in anger.

Tina shook her head, running out of ideas to solve this one problem. Her hands trembled, and her body went cold. If they lost their assets, they would be homeless.

Not much different from Ron, who was now tapping his foot against the ground. He repeatedly bit his own fingers to hold back his anxiety.

Until a passing car suddenly stopped in front of them. Two people dressed all in black got out and immediately smothered the thrashing Ron and Tina into the vehicle. It didn't matter if they tried to escape by elbowing or kicking. In fact, Ron strengthened his legs to stay in place and could not be dragged in.

Seeing Ron holding on, the one man who had been smothering him snapped, "Get in!" he called out in a high tone.

Impatient, the man kicked Ron's legs and pushed his body hard. Until Ron's body slammed into the back seat and fell face-first.

When Ron had just managed to sit down properly, the man accidentally saw Tina's pale face in fear. So, he shouted, "Damn it! What the hell, huh?!" Ron shouted in a loud voice. No one answered. The three people who brought them, didn't open their mouths at all.

"Who are you guys? How dare you mess with us!" Undaunted, Ron continued to rebel, trying to force open the car door even though the car was speeding down the street. All kinds of bad thoughts filled his mind.

Again and again, the man pulled the door handle, but he couldn't do it. Apparently, the car door had been locked so that he and Tina could not escape.

So, Ron kicked the car door hard. So many times, his legs ached from the impact with the hard material of the car.

Unfortunately, Ron was forced to stand still when the gun's muzzle was aimed at his cranium, "Shit!" Ron hissed with a gasp.

The man held his breath, glanced to the side, and found the man who had caught him earlier, preparing to pull the trigger. Move a little, and his head would turn into a bull's-eye.

"Shut up and obey! Or I'll blow your head off in one pull!" he threatened coldly.

Ron froze, and the man was forced to sit back in his chair. He glanced at Tina, who looked deathly pale with legs trembling in fear.

"You'd better sit still like this. Don't act up, or I'll kill you mercilessly!" A man sitting beside the driver's seat spoke, his eyes not even glancing at all from the windshield.

"Why are you arresting us? We're not guilty of anything!" Ron barked loudly. But he immediately shrank with his eyes closed when the gun's muzzle was brought closer to his head.

With that, an unpleasant odour wafted from the car. The man holding the gun looked in various directions for the source of the smell and snorted in disgust when he realized that Ron was scared to death.

Jeff smiled wryly, and the man folded his arms casually, "You guys are so arrogant! Do things just happen that I have to tell you?"

Jeff shook his head, "You like to cause trouble, and disturb our master's peace. You deserve this!" Jeff added in a cold tone.

Jeff still remembered how Ron and Tina had been so bold with Julius. From the time Julius was still living with the Cellen family until now when he had been evicted.

Ron and Tina gaped. Both of them had no idea who Julius' master was. "But we don't even know who your master is," Tina muttered hoarsely.

"Don't be stupid, you've just caused trouble! You attacked and insulted him in public! You idiots!" scolded Jeff angrily. His eyes glanced toward the centre mirror of the car and found Ron and Tina suddenly pale.

There was only one person they had just attacked and humiliated in public. And that was Julius! Could it be that the master they were referring to was Julius?

Now, fear crawled from head to toe. Both Tina and Ron swallowed hard. The apartment director's behaviour and the behaviour of these people proved that Julius was not a random person. But that was impossible! Julius was not a man of any power to them!

Jeff glanced back at the centre mirror and smiled wryly at Ron and Tina's frightened faces. "Now, it's too late to regret what you've done. You'll get what's coming to you!"

The two glanced at each other. With that, the car stopped. The two people who had ambushed them jumped into the back seat. Bringing fear and horror to their bones. Two seconds later, the car was silent, and Ron and Tina lost sight of each other.

Elsewhere, Julius was enjoying the sumptuous meal specially served by the director. The man chewed and savoured each mouthful with pleasure.

"Would Mr. Julius like anything?" asked Sam politely. The man stood up, with several servants behind him at the ready. He kept a good attitude to not further disappoint the man in front of him.

Julius shook his head, the man felt he didn't need anything. Because his stomach must be pampered first after the commotion this morning.

"Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced this morning. We will increase security and stricter selection for our future workers to avoid similar incidents." Sam bowed, and the man again apologized for Ron and Tina's behaviour and the security guard's.

"Yes, you should." Julius replied without a smile, the man didn't even look at Sam.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Julius. If there's nothing else you need, we'll take our leave." The director excused himself, and Julius nodded.

When Sam and the other servants finally left, Julius, still chewing his food, put his knife and fork down on his plate.

He folded his hands on the table, gazing at the surroundings of his luxurious penthouse.

"It's truly marvelous! This family does have a lot of power," he said with pride and admiration.

Until suddenly, his smile disappeared. Julius's hands were now clenched into fists, and instantly, there was a thumping sound, and the dining table shook.

Julius punched the table in annoyance, remembering how people had treated him. His eyes flashed with ambition, and his chest felt full. "Now, there will be no more underestimated and humiliated Julius!"

"Because, I will do everything!"
