Chapter 21 “ We have to get out of here!” I shouted into Park’s ears. The music was loud, so I had to raise my voice. “ What do you say, Mr Hayes?” Park replied, plunging his alcoholic breath into my ears. “Oh god! You are wasted, aren't you?” I said back, looking at him in his drunken state. My eyes flashed back towards the exit, and no one was there. Not Nathan and definitely not the face of the guy I had seen. Or was I hallucinating? “ This is your victory, your night, Adrian Hayes. Why don't you relax and have some fun?” Park shouted again. “ Can I get some water? I looked at the bartender who grabbed me a bottle of water. “ Here, drink this.” I grabbed Park's hand and gave him the bottle. “ Drink that now!” I shouted again. “ Are you serious?” Park looked at me. I gave him a look that meant I meant every word coming out of my mouth, and he immediately flipped the lid. He gulped down the liquid content, and soon he was staring at me. “ You said what?” Park asked after

Chapter 22I looked at Park, and I saw he had a serious look on his face. He was standing aside without any look that seemed like he was going to help. The first guy swung his club at me, but I dodged it just in time. I counterattacked with a punch, aiming straight for his jaw.The fight was on, and I was determined to give it my all. I was fighting for my life, and I wasn't going to back down.But as I exchanged blows with the guys, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Park had set me up. Why had he brought me here? What was his motive?I pushed the thoughts aside and focused on the fight. I had to survive this, no matter what.The guys were relentless, but I was determined to take them down. I fought with every ounce of strength I had, my fists flying as I tried to protect myself.And then, I saw him. Jack. Standing in the shadows, watching me with a cold, calculating gaze.My heart skipped a beat as our eyes met. This was it. This was the moment I had been waiting for. But the f

Chapter 23 Jack's smirk widened as he cracked his neck and rolled his shoulders. “You sure you want to do this again?” he asked, casually brushing dust off his sleeves. “You can barely stand, Adrian. Or should I say, Mr Hayes?” He taunted, and his minions laughed. I knew he had heard Park call me Hayes a few times. “I said”, I winced, taking one shaky step forward, “We’re not done.”Park stayed silent now, his expression unreadable. His phone was still raised, but I knew he wasn’t filming. He was watching me. Judging. Maybe even hoping.Jack charged without warning.I sidestepped, narrowly avoiding his fist, and landed a quick jab to his ribs. It didn’t do much — not with the way he grinned right after — but it was a hit, and it counted.This wasn’t just brute force anymore. This was chess. Speed over strength. Mind over muscle.Jack came again, faster this time, and I blocked his punch, barely keeping my balance. Pain shot through my arm, but I stayed up. My knuckles were bleeding

Chapter 24“ You are recuperating very well, and your fighting skills have improved greatly. I am shocked to see that you have it in you. You are just like him.” Leo said, smiling. He coughed severely, making me a bit worried. “ Are you alright?” I asked, staring at his face. “ I am fine, Mr Hayes. I just need to keep up with doctor's appointments.” Leo replied, meeting my gaze. “ Should I be worried?” I looked at him and stopped. Leo's expression turned serious, and he looked away for a moment before responding. "No, Mr Hayes. You shouldn't be worried. It's just a routine check-up. Nothing to concern yourself with."I studied his face, trying to read between the lines. There was something in his tone that didn't quite add up. "You're not telling me something, are you?" I asked, my eyes narrowing slightly.Leo's gaze snapped back to mine, and he smiled weakly. "I'm justbeing cautious, Mr Hayes. That's all. Don't worry about it."I wasn't convinced, but I let it drop for now. "So,

Chapter 25 As I stepped my feet on the school ground, a lot of eyes were fixed on me. I was not some ordinary student anymore. I was now the face of the school. “ Did you see the video clip that is going viral?” “ The one that Adrian Hayes knocked some sense into Jack's head? Of course, I saw it.” “ I was surprised. How come Adrian has been behaving like a dummy all this while? Has he been laying low for a day like this?”“ I was surprised when I saw the video of him beating the crap out of Jack. I am sure Nathan is going to be wary of him now.” “ If by the word weary, you mean ‘sacred', then I am one hundred percent with you on that.” As I walked, I could hear the whispering, and gosh, it felt so good. I loved that I was gaining ground, that I was no longer someone to be brushed aside like I didn't matter. Even the name Hayes meant little to them. I needed to show more accomplishment, and then the name would shine. My gaze caught a signpost not too far from the school's groun

Chapter 26My phone rang, and I immediately picked it up. “ Do you like what you see?” The voice said with a smile plastered across his face. One I couldn't see, of course. I knew the voice, and I immediately burst into laughter. “ Leo, when did you plan all of this?” I said, looking at Park, who wondered who I was speaking with. “ When you decide to attack your enemies, you go ahead and show them you are not a rival to be taken lightly. You show them you are way above their league.” Leo replied, coughing slightly. “ You need to be checked up,” I said again, getting bothered by his coughs. “ Don't worry, Master Hayes. It is just a sign of old age. I will be good in no time.” “ Fine. But don't make me worry over you. I've got a lot I need to deal with at the moment.” I said sharply, feeling more like an elite. In actual truth, I have been feeling more like I was born rich ever since I knew who I really was. The feeling of not having to bother about the clothes you need to put on,
