CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT

There was silence, but everyone felt the tension as it echoed all over, hanging thickly in the air, and seeming like it was about to crash down.

Vera couldn’t look Hudderson in the eyes, and it seemed like the guard beside her had died even though he seemed to be breathing.

Apprehension simmered through their nerves, rushing like it was about to explode inside them.

Vera looked back, and seeing no sign of either the guard or Charlotte, she panicked.

    With his uneasiness still rising at the sight of Hudderson who didn't look like he was there to joke, Harry remained the way he was, unable to utter even a word. “I asked a question, Uncle! Where is Aunt Sabrina?” Hudderson asked, moving closer to Harry, who curled up on the couch, leaning backward in nervousness. “Calm down, Hudderson! She should be around somewhere! Maybe I should go fetch her for you.” Harry said with a shaky tone, trying to find a means to escape. Hudderson stood still, glaring at the middle-aged man whose heartbeat was becoming more aggressive than it was a moment earlier. Apparently, shame was not the only feeling that had engulfed him at that moment. He was also scared to his teeth and struggled with the guilt of his actions. He knew he had done a lot to offend Hudderson and was wary of the day of reckoning coming faster than he had envisaged. “Allow me to go get her for you, Hudderson! I will go tell her that you are here to see

    CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVEN“My name is Elliot Cameron, and I will be your host for today. Today, we have amazing deals for you! So many choices just to satisfy you. We took note of all the reviews and demands you made on the secret website, and we decided to adjust the amount of goods to be purchased.” Elliot was elated, as he spoke to his audience, moving from one corner to the other, displaying his brief stature. There were two bodyguards in similar white suits just like the man at the door, and they looked as though they were robots, standing at the two ends of the large curtain behind the stage. “We know you will be wondering why we had to push the time for the auction closer. Well, you will get to find out really soon. We couldn't wait to show you the juicy deals we have for you tonight! I am sure you are gonna love them!” There was a little murmuring from the people seated at the various tables in the hall, as gestures and utterances of expectations filled the air. “I

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX For a while Hudderson was silent, but the old man was eager to hear what he was going to say. The look on his face showed mixed feelings, but the stillness in the living room was making everyone tense. “I was hoping to hear someday that there could be a chance that Hela was still alive. This means that there is hope, Lancel.” Hudderson forced a smile on his face even though the revelation from the old man could mean one of two things. It was either that his sister had been killed by the men who took her or that she was held captive for some reason. He only hoped for the latter. However, since there was only one hard way of finding out, Hudderson pocketed the piece of paper after folding it carefully before he turned to face Lancel who was drenched in perspiration of guilt and remorse. “I wish I had told you earlier, Master Hudderson. I have no excuse for keeping such information from you. Please forgive my cowardice, there

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE Leonard was lost between getting down on his knees and remaining the way he was. It was obvious that he had lost the bet, but he never thought that he was going to lose his dignity as well. If only he had minded his business. Hudderson was in a haste to move on to another activity, but Leonard had to suffer for his utterances, he had to make sure he dealt with him. “Get on your knees, Leo! Kiss my feet!” Hudderson pointed at his shiny shoes, causing Leonard to look around him as though he wasn’t aware that everyone had their eyes on him. He couldn’t handle the fact that angry eyes were glaring at him, and to give them a reason to consider taking it easy on him for his misleading prediction, he decided to do what he was asked to do, leaving with no other option. “Good. Now kiss my feet.” Hudderson said as soon as Leonard had gone down on his knees, taking a few seconds before he placed the second knee on the marble tile. “Hurry up, Leo. I have

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR Most of the people in the room knew who Hudderson was, and seeing that he had the ring on his finger, they knew he had regained power as one of the members of the Triple-Legend family, the noblest and most powerful group not only in Moscow but also in Russia and beyond. Tiara had a similar ring on her finger, but hers had the head of an eagle, the symbol of the Gusev family. She proudly showcased it to everyone who cared to look, even though they had seen it thousands of times. Leonard saw that things were no longer moving the way he expected, but he was relentless and attempted to turn things back in his favor. “Hudderson? I heard that the Zordan company is no longer as massive as it used to be. News everywhere says that your family has lost quite a ton of money. You are going bankrupt.” There was a loud murmuring following the words that Leonard spoke. He nodded in satisfaction when he realized that everyone was still paying attention. “Hudd

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREE Tiara’s family owned the second-biggest company after the Zordans. The Gusev company was a capital market operator, dealing mainly with the distribution of stock exchange. They had been their in Moscow a few years after the Zordans, and their predominance in the stock was second to none. Some of the people who came to trade with them were mostly foreigners, and it seemed as though they had taken over the stock market entirely, especially since Tiara took over from her father after years of studying abroad. Hudderson went into the Gusev company building together with Tiara while her bodyguards followed behind them, making sure that the distance between them was small. Tiara couldn't stop staring at Hudderson while they strode along the hallway, and when he realized that she wasn’t going to stop gawking at him, paying no mind on the way, he decided to speak up at once. “Do you mind? You are actually making this really awkward for me.” Hudderson
