With his phone on his lap, Adam used his free hand to continuously rub through his face and hair. Getting to his feet, he began pacing the ground, they were so close but he didn't want to mess this up, one wrong move and it could all blow up into flames, the thought alone had his heart racing, he couldn't afford any mistakes. “Adam? Are you there? I'll send you the address shortly, but I'm still hanging around the area. I gotta be careful here too, we are dealing with ruthless and terrible people. We can't afford to fail” Adam’s silence over the phone had Anderson a little worried, yet he kept up with the conversation. "I have an intel that says it best to do this soon. I think you should involve the force in this, and inform the police as well. Handling them alone isn't ideal" With his eyes closed, Adam pinched his nose bridge not saying anything, his head and mind racing with different thoughts. Even if he could single-handedly handle a whole army, he still needed to tread with

But as the leader prepared to pull the trigger, Adam made his move. He lunged at the leader, knocking the gun out of his hands with a swift kick, and in a flash stumped on the gun with his other foot, attempting to render the weapon useless.The leader was aghast, this man was definitely something else, He started breaking out into cold sweat, but it was too early to do so, as Adam had just begun with him and his men, by the time he had dealt his lethal blows and punches to him and his men, he would break into what was worse off than sweat. Adam bent and retrieved the gun from underneath his foot. Picking it up, he aimed it at the man and clicked his tongue, “You were saying?” Without waiting for a reply, Adam grabbed the leader by his shoulder and used the gun butt to crack his shoulder blades, the breaking of bones noise ringing clear in the air, “Ahhhh” The man cried out in pain, with tears stinging his eyes, he sucked on his teeth to stop from crying out loud due to the pai

“Hey Adam, how's your daughter? Any difference now?” Over the phone, his friend and ally who had joined in the raid was asking Adam, sitting by the end of her bed with his hand on his face, Adam let out a deep breath before shaking his head slowly, “Not yet, not for now” “I'm sorry to hear that man, we all here hoping she gets better, do let me know if there's anything I can do.” Tearing up, Adam removed his hands from his face and placed them on his chest, before solemnly nodding, “Thank you, Miles, I appreciate” “Anytime brother” was Miles’s reply, before the line went dead. Sighing, Adam adjusted himself at the foot of her bed as he looked upon his child, lying on the bed in the room he had specially curated for her with the help of one of the best interior decorators in town. He couldn't take his eyes off her as he stared at her, His daughter had not opened her eyes since they had rescued her, her skin was still completely pale and her body unmoving, the only indication tha

“Sir, I think you should ignore these two men and continue eating your meal, I'm certain the security will handle them” Leaning forward to Curtis, while smiling widely at him, Cecilia gave her unsolicited input. Curtis only gave her a ghost of a smile before continuing to glare at Adam and his companion. Both Adam and Adrien shared a glance between themselves as Cecilia began speaking after entering the midst, subtly raising their eyebrows at each other before taking their eyes away and scoffing lightly, with a smirk remaining on Adam’s lips. Keeping his hands out of his pockets, while also ignoring Cecilia and her unwanted presence, Adam faced the man he had come in search of and spoke in a relaxed and calm way, “Mr Curtis, I've been informed that you're the only one in possession of that herb. I'd like to know how much you'd want to charge to let me have it, you would be saving a life that is of utmost importance to me” While he had been speaking, Cecilia sniggered at the bac

Although Louisa and her mother had been kicked out of the restaurant, both women hadn't left the premises. Despite the embarrassment and humiliation Cecilia had faced, she had been adamant towards Louisa, wanting to find out the outcome of Curtis' outburst and his ignorant display of respect towards the unworthy Adam, hence both women hid themselves in the car to Louisa's chagrin. Back in the restaurant, after Louisa and Cecilia had been sent out, Curtis's head and mind began reeling, he could hardly believe he was before someone like Adam, who wore the ring that he knew to be of great power, no ordinary person could be in possession of the ring, but looking at Adam he looked as ordinary as the next door guy, looking over at Adam and his demeanour, he was beginning to have his doubt. He found it quite absurd that Adam was the bearer of the ring, such an ordinary man couldn't be wearing the Maracuda Ornate so casually, Whoever wore the ring knew the power it possessed and would not l
