The crowd began to settle back into their seats, still casting a weary glance at Adam who wasn't fazed by their mutterings or mumblings. Though the crowd were seemingly settled, Mr Fannik who still felt unjustified wasn't, and so he stomped his foot and raised his voice,“So just because he claims he's an associate of General Olson, we're to believe his cock and bull story?!" He demanded, his face going entirely red,His questions caused the people to look at themselves as they also wondered and found truth in what he had spoken,“That's true! What proof does he have that he's associated with the General?! We all know he's a busy man and doesn't frolic with the commoner!" Adam turned to look at the woman who had spoken and shook his head mildly at her words, the woman in turn scowled at him and hissed, eyeing him in disdain,"Someone should call General Olson and confirm the truth!”The support competitor saw this as another opportunity and promptly shot up from his seat, after all,

Adam gaped at the two sisters he had helped, one of them scowled at him, while the other looked with eyes lowered, before he could say anything the scowling sister also known as Joan, sneered and hissed before she glared at the MC while jabbing a finger at Adam's direction,“Is this the supposed fool who has been haggling prices with my sister?! How blind can you lot get? Does this fellow look like one who can afford a decent meal?!”She shrieked and a few people in the crowd couldn't help their snickering at the jabs, the MC's ears and face reddened a little at Joan's words,It was only because of General Olson that he had been somewhat civil to Adam, but having this woman throw insults at him for trying to protect his face had him a little livid but he refrained himself from attacking her as well.Joan wasn't done with them as she faced Adam squarely and looked him over with curling lips, wrinkling her nose as though Adam was oozing,“You might have had my poor papa and sister here b

Back in the Southeast Province, Louisa Martins sat lost in thought in Williams's now mansion that was practically a shadow of itself, the man she had married for his wealth and status had been reduced to nothing, he was running from different debtors and had nothing to his name,Her bickering mother made life worse as she constantly bickered about their lack of money, status, standards and the life she had previously lived, forgetting their humble beginnings. It was even worse now since the disappearance of her last lover who was funding her lifestyle.What Louisa couldn't get over, was Logan's message to her the last time he had been by, she had pondered over the matter and had yet to come to any decisive conclusion, it was utterly disbelieving to think that her ex-husband, Adam the very man she knew was somewhat rich and was allegedly the missing grandson of Marcus Raine,“Impossible" she muttered to herself, ignoring the cries of her new baby as she sat lost in thought.Louisa's ey

The man fell to his knees, and Adam bent to his eye level and twisted his hand while he was on his knee, struggling for balance. He sent a flying kick to his groins and the fellow squealed like a mouse that was slammed, before slumping to the ground with a loud hiss. His hand and groin were throbbing and he winced,The other men had their gazes lost at the sight of one of their own, crumbled on the ground in what seemed like a bent arm,“Oi… you want to show us you have got some skills in fighting?” one of them jabbed at Adam.Adam ignored him, and one of them took a hesitant step forward before speaking through gritted teeth,“This was not about you but you have bought trouble that was meant for another on yourself.”His words trailed off on a whim as another of his men paled and fainted at the sight of the twisted arm of their leader, his hand was mangled. “Wake up Jake!,” his partner yelled, kicking the fainted one heavily to reawaken him.Adam almost burst into laughter at the s

As the door banged open, every head turned in the direction of the door, and Joan who had been ranting faltered on her seat, almost cowering as her eyes widened, she gulped as she took in the people who had surrounded the door, She faced her sister with guarded eyes and found Leila white as a sheet, like herself Leila was already shivering on her toes. With hate rising in her chest, she cast a glare at Adam and fumed within her, her fist clenched tightly by her side,'This is all this fool's fault!’ she mumbled to herself as she stared at him with daggers in her eyes.Adam smirked as he noticed the men who had surrounded the hospital room, these ones were petty, to say the least, they couldn't let their defeat go, the same men he had an altercation with were right in front of him, their stance that of revenge and blood-seeking,He couldn't help but shake his head at their stupidity. This time they were more in number like they had gone to gather more strength and men, and they stea
