Curtis' face and neck flushed all over and he took in a deep breath, as he heard Adam's statement. He couldn't believe that his actions would come back and bite him in the butt, and he internally berated himself for uttering those words to Adam, he had arrogantly thought he was right and had spoken so carelessly. Now those very words were back to haunt and hunt him down, From where he stood, Adrien could see the various emotions that passed across Curtis' face and he smiled to himself, the bastard deserved the comeuppance that was coming to him. Wanting to add salt to the injury, he exclaimed loudly, “We don't have all day Curtis, people have their meals to get back to, and your delay is delaying them as well" and he winked right after his speech, Adrien ached to stick his tongue out for good effect but decided to take the mature route. Curtis' face and neck couldn't get any redder than they already were, it was already as red as cherry, anything further than that, Adrien felt the f

After the restaurant squabble and ignoring both women, Amber and Adam arrived at Rowland's Mansion, it looked like a castle in a fairytale and was a beautiful sight to behold. Coming over, Amber had made her driver drive faster than normal, a journey that would usually take about thirty minutes, took about fifteen to twenty minutes. As far as Amber was concerned, time wasn't on their hand so Amber tried racing against time. She quickly led Adam into the main building and straight to her father's room, where an almost lifeless man was lying on the bed, He was pale and hooked to different machines and tubes, there was a constant beeping sound in the room, getting closer Adam could tell that the man struggled to breathe despite the machines he was connected to, the man really didn't look good and was on the brink of death. Two other people were in the room but Amber and Adam took no notice of them at all as they rushed into the room, “Amber, thank goodness You're back" A young ma

“His blood has been infected with an untraceable substance, hence that's why he's this way" Amber and Brandon's eyes widened as their skin paled, Brandon couldn't help but gasp at the utterance, “W-what the hell are you talking about?!” Adam paid no attention to Brandon's question, he turned to face Amber and doled out a few requests, “I would be needing a little turmeric, cinnamon, and lemon rind. I would also be needing an Azure Aloe oil, as well as some hot stones, get all of those things as soon as you can” Amber readily nodded her head and turned to instruct one of her bodyguards to get the required items, she couldn't trust her brother to do them or get the items correctly. “Delay any further and lose your job and your life" She called out to the bodyguard as he stepped out the door, hearing her threat the guy hastened his steps, A few minutes later, he came back cradling the aforementioned items and gingerly handed them over to Amber, who walked to where Adam was and pla

Amber smiled slowly seeing her father regain consciousness, and with trembling hands, she covered her opened mouth with the free hand as tears seeped out of her eyes, Brandon heaved a sigh of relief and sagged his body against that of his sister as he watched his father come out of his previous state. “He's awake" “Oh my gosh, it's a miracle" “I cannot believe my eyes" A few of the bodyguards began to exclaim, their eyes bulging and their mouths wide open, blinking rapidly as they watched everything unfold, it was like a scene out of a movie for them all. Amber couldn't stop the tears that flowed freely from her eyes, turning towards Adam she smiled in relief, the smile reaching her eyes as she bowed to Adam, “Mr Adam, I'm thoroughly grateful. I do not know how to thank you, Sir" Adam’s cheeks flushed slightly while he nodded his head at her and smiled genuinely, clearing his throat he informed her, “I would prescribe some other herbs for you to administer to him, majority of t

Curtis continued glaring at the screen with cold eyes, his lips curling as he did, he felt like squeezing the life out of Adam's body through the screen, it was only because of him that he was in this mangled state, “I-t is be-cause of this man that I'm this way right now! His people beat me up to a p-ulp!" He informed them through gritted teeth, though it ached his jaw as he clenched it tightly, Markus nodded his head slowly while stroking his chin, lost in deep thought, "What can you tell us about this man? What do you know about him?” Curtis sneered as his mind travelled to the encounter he had with Adam and how it ended, “He came seeking for a rare herb from me! That is insignificant, but one thing that baffles me is that the dude is in possession of the Maracuda Ornate ring!" Markus' head drew back immediately while his eyes widened and bulged at the same time and he instantly stood up from his seat, and in a disbelieving voice exclaimed, “Are you saying that someone out t
