Not the Successor to the Throne
Chapter 34. Strive Sincere

Sometimes we never know where the right place to live. Can't choose to be born by whom, and what will it end up like? Just like Eiger is doing right now. If he can choose, he wants to stay with his parents. Whatever their circumstances, the Eiger would have accepted it.

Having a big name from a rich family does not seem to make the Eiger happy. He is always required to be professional.

Before leaving for the hotel to announce that Eiger had been confirmed as Balthis' replacement, the middle-aged man did not stop there.

"You already know the rules, right? Replace me and prepare a potential fiancee. You know, all the company's business relationships will put you in the spotlight from every angle. So, don't make the slightest mistake!" balthis's message in his study.

"Good, Pa." As a devoted child to both parents, Eiger had to be a submissive.

"One more!"

"Yes?"

"I want black on white."

Balthis took out a map from inside the drawer. It seemed like the map had been prepared long before today.

"I want you to sign this agreement. Read it!"

Balthis handed the map into the Eiger's hands. It is predictable. Balthis won't let the Eiger get away with it. Especially to have the wealth of his family.

The content of the agreement certainly did not benefit the Eiger itself. It's all about Balthis and Elov Willard. Something tickled his mind. If Elov is found, it doesn't matter that Eiger leaves Willard's family. However, if Elov is never found. So, what happens next?

"Just this, Papa?" Eiger dared to ask.

"Yes. Why why?"

"I want this letter re-typed."

"Whatdoyouwant? I told you to follow all my rules!"

"Sorry, Papa. Not that I denied all Papa's wishes, but don't you think that this agreement only benefits Papa's side?"

The more he gets here, the Eiger shows his fangs. He felt he could control his entire extended family. However, Balthis was undaunted. He just pulled a gun out of his desk.

"This gun contains one bullet. You want to sign, or not?" Balthis pointed the gun at the Eiger.

The man did not know that his papa had prepared in such a way. If you can choose, the Eiger would rather die than follow Balthis' will.

"Please shoot that gun at me. We're gonna finish it all, Pa. It ends today and Papa will be in jail. When Elov is found, Papa will never see him!"

Is that as bad as the Eiger in Balthis's eyes as threatening with a firearm? Even if you can't solve everything, at least don't do it yourself.

"Oh, or if Papa doesn't dare, I'll tell everyone that I'm just Eiger Louis who was adopted because the biological child has been handed over to someone else. Yeah, well, at least we'll be ruined together, Pa. After that—"

"Enough! Don't say anything else!" balthis.

"Sign or I—"

"What are you doing, brother?" blerim shouted as he felt that the Eiger had been inside for too long. Moreover, the sight of Balthis pointing a gun made Blerim surprised.

"He won't sign this agreement, Blerim! I want him to sign, and then I'll hand the company over to him."

"That can't be, brother. Eiger, get out now! Go to the hotel. Don't be late because you're still here."

Eiger listened more to Blerim than Balthis. Jean and David were ready to leave.

"You didn't make my husband angry, did you?" ask Jean.

"No, Ma. I'm sorry, I have to go first" said Eiger.

Jean was still upset to see Eiger. The more his days of arrogance were very visible. But Eiger himself only felt defensive.

"Son, I think something stressful happened today."

"Ah, forget! Let's see how my brother fights."

Not yet in Balthis's study, the two were shocked to hear gunshots and some broken items.

"Balthis!" peekik Jean's. She was afraid that something would happen to her husband.

In a hurry, David opened the door until two people were fighting over a gun. Luckily the bullet didn't hurt one of them.

"What are you guys doing?" shouted Jean. He's still in a panic.

"It was just a little accident, brother. You don't have to worry." Blerim finally retreated releasing his brother's hand. He then left them to catch up with Eiger.

"Little accident?" ask David.

"Yes, just a little accident. I'm fine" replied Balthis.

His study room was destroyed like it was a little accident? Actually what happened until the brothers made a fuss and then attacked each other using a gun?

"Darling, seriously are you okay? I'm so worried. What exactly is going on?"

"none. Let's get going! Don't let us be late like the other day."

Balthis is out with Jean. David was centered on sheets of paper that had been torn and scattered there.

"There must be something important. Brother Balthis why not tell a story?"

"David! Do you want to be there or go with us?" shouted Jean.

"Wait another minute!" david shouted from the room where the door was half open.

Have read the torn agreement letter. David concludes that this quarrel was caused by Eiger, then proceeds to his older brother, Blerim.

"You've been a long time!" protest Jean who had been waiting in the car for 5 minutes.

"Patience, Brother. This show if we're late isn't a problem, is it?"

Balthis was still in his mind. This time David will drive the vehicle. Balthis and his wife were on the wheel.

"Sister, what's really going on?"

"Eiger refused the agreement I made. I can't let that kid underestimate me like this. I did allow him to take my place, but that doesn't mean he'll erase Elov's name for the future of our family. Didn't you?"

"Darling, why is that kid so hard to control?"

"Eitherway. I think Blerim has always been his front guard."

"Sister, better keep brother Blerim away from him. You can transfer him to another subsidiary. After that, we can get the Eiger to back off on its own" David suggested.

Why didn't Balthis think of all that? He should have separated Eiger and Blerim. At least for the Eiger to get cornered, then give up and leave the Willard family forever.

"We are too busy looking for the existence of Elov to forget something as important as this. Honey, I don't care what's the end result of Elov's search. Whether or not the child is, will still be the most important thing in my life" Jean explained.

"What do you really say, honey?" Balthis did not expect that his wife would be that loud. Letting go is difficult, but what's wrong with trying to sincerely let go.

Jean realized one thing, the most precious treasure was indeed her son and husband. Everything is incomparable to what it has right now.
