His trembling hands quickly unlocked the gates, allowing Adonis and his entourage to enter the premises. They proceeded towards the grand entrance of the house, the atmosphere thick with tension and anticipation.A single knock resounded on the door of Mr. Henderson's residence. From within, a voice inquired about their visitor's identity, and the bodyguard promptly responded, "We're from the palace." The door slowly creaked open, revealing a trembling woman who appeared to be one of the Hendersons' maids.At the sight of Adonis, her fear also intensified, and she hastened to open the door wider, granting him and his bodyguards entrance, it wa

Mrs. Henderson struggled to calm her impatient and alarmed daughter, reassuring her that they would find a solution to the predicament as soon as possible. The weight of their frozen accounts loomed heavily in the room.One of Adonis's vigilant bodyguards leaned in and whispered confidentially into his ear. Adonis, with a calculated air of authority, relayed the information to the Hendersons, further darkening the cloud of despair that hung over them. "I've just received word that your son has been awarded a prestigious scholarship by a renowned company in the city," Adonis announced. "He was set to pursue his master's degree at one of the country's top universities."The young man, fear etched deeply into his features, could no longer contain his panic.

A Rise to the Throne Chapter 116: Repeated Failures.
Tears welled up in the eyes of the Hendersons, and they resumed their desperate pleas for mercy. However, Adonis had reached a point where their entreaties fell on deaf ears. He received a call from the commissioner, diverting his attention from the distraught family and he listened attentively as the commissioner relayed important information. One of the task force agents had reported a potential sighting of one of Oliver's henchmen.Adonis's curiosity piqued, and he immediately inquired about how the agents had identified the henchman. The commissioner's voice held a note of urgency as he replied, "I'll need to gather more information and get back to you later, Prince Adonis. We just wanted to keep you updated, that’s all."With that, Adonis hung up the call.He knew now that his mission at the Hendersons' residence was complete so he bid them a curt farewell and rose to his feet, ready to depart. They clung to his legs, their voices filled with desperation, pleading for him to stay
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 117: Let’s play a game.
The task force agents gathered in a dimly lit room, their whispers and hushed conversations creating a low buzz of anticipation. They exchanged glances filled with curiosity, wondering why Prince Adonis had summoned them.When Adonis entered the hall, his expression stern and unfriendly, a hushed silence fell over the room, and all eyes turned toward him. He scrutinized them for a few moments before finally breaking the silence. His voice carried an undercurrent of disappointment. "I know asking will like not do a thing but I will do it nonetheless, now do any of you know who betrayed us? Who led us into that treacherous trap?" His gaze moved from face to face.A collective "no" resonated through the room, the agents' voices filled with uncertainty. Adonis's disappointment was obvious. "The task force was created to battle crime, not to be deceived by it," Adonis voiced his frustration. "I expected better from all of you."With determination, he unveiled his decision, his words hangi
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 118: Feeling of Being Watched.
Oliver's voice oozed with a sinister delight. "Oh, nothing too complicated.Adonis could feel his patience wearing thin as Oliver continued to play his twisted games. He demanded, "Enough with the riddles, Oliver. What do you want?"Oliver's voice danced with amusement. "Ah, Adonis, always so direct. I've already told you what I want. We're going to play a little game."Adonis sighed in exasperation. "Fine, what game?"Oliver's tone turned chillingly serious. "A game of last man standing, my brother."Adonis furrowed his brow, struggling to grasp the gravity of Oliver's words. "Last man standing? What on earth are you even talking about?"Oliver's voice dripped with menace as he explained, "You have two days, Adonis. Two days to make a decision. You can either relinquish your position as the heir to the throne, or I will unleash chaos upon your city."Adonis felt a cold shiver run down his spine as the true nature of Oliver's game became clear. "You're talking about a blast, aren't yo
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 119: Two more Days.
As Adonis stood there, his heart racing from the anticipation of confronting his stalker, his phone suddenly shattered the tense silence with its insistent ringing. Startled, he fumbled for his phone, his eyes scanning the screen for the caller ID. Once again, it displayed "unknown number." By the time he raised his head to check his stalker, there was no one there anymore. With an annoyed sigh, Adonis answered the call, his frustration mounting. He didn't bother with a greeting; he was too agitated to exchange pleasantries. It was Oliver on the other end once more. Adonis clenched his jaw, his patience wearing thin. He didn't utter a word, his anger simmering beneath the surface. Oliver's sinister chuckle reverberated through the phone, and Adonis could feel a sense of unease creeping in. Oliver's question, "Why?" hung in the air, leaving Adonis momentarily speechless. "What do you mean, why?" Adonis finally managed to respond, his confusion evident in his voice. Oliver's tone
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 120: Suspending Workers.
Adonis woke with a heavy burden on his mind, the presence of spies within his palace kept gnawing at the back of his mind. He knew he had to take action, even if it meant scrutinizing every worker and guard in his employ. The thought of having servants he couldn't trust was intolerable and it gave him sleepless night.He immediately got on his feet and called for the lists of all the workers and guards currently employed in the palace, along with their years of service. A stack of papers, thick with information, landed on the desk in his office. He delved into the sea of names and years, studying the figures meticulously.Each entry held potential clues, and he was determined to unearth any irregularities or patterns that might reveal the identity of Oliver's spy or spies. It was a painstaking task, but one he was willing to undertake in his quest to root out the source of the palace's betrayal.He meticulously took note of each worker's name and the duration of their service in the p
A Rise to the Throne Chapter 121: One More Day.
Adonis had just settled back into his office when, as expected, his phone rang with yet another unknown number flashing on the screen. With a resigned groan, he answered the call, knowing that it was Oliver on the line. "Adonis," Oliver greeted in a tone that held a strange mixture of amusement and menace."Why are you trying to act smart?"Adonis, though rattled by Oliver's continued intrusion into his affairs, tried to feign ignorance. "I don't know what you're talking about."Oliver wasted no time in cutting to the chase. "Why did you send your documents to the commissioner?"Adonis felt a chill run down his spine. How did Oliver keep finding out about his every move? How on earth was this man getting to know everything that he was doing? In a short time at that.He clenched his jaw and responded with a hint of defiance, "I'm not playing any games with you, Oliver."Oliver's voice remained eerily composed as he delivered a warning. "Don't play smart, Adonis. You'll regret it."Adoni
