2025-01-07 20:23:27A well dressed gentleman was standing behind the guards. He looked like a very rich fellow, and the guards seemed to respect him as he walked towards them.
"But sir..." "No buts", he interrupted, raising his right hand in the air. Then he bent forward and lent a hand to Adrian. "I heard everything. Let the young man come." As Adrian came to his feet, the man shook his hand. "My name is James Halton, I am Mr Rodriquez's personal assistant. I heard everything you said about Miss Lyana. Are you sure about what you are saying?" Not that he was super sure, but the system had been his informant. So far, everything the system said had been true. He could heal from serious injuries in a matter of seconds. He could locate Lyana without having any prior idea of where she might have been. If the system was right in all of that, then it must be right about her life being in danger. "Yes sir. I am sure about this." "And you think you can save her?" About that, he didn't know what he was needed to do but something told him he needed to see her first. Then the system would tell him what to do. "Well..." They were interrupted by rushed footsteps which came in their direction. "Mr Halton! Mr Halton!! It is the little Miss!! She is having a serious episode!" James Halton turned around in shock. He didn't need to hear anymore before he sped after the female servants who had come to call him. And Adrian followed him instinctively, knowing something was happening to Lyana. He checked the visible screen, she still had about five minutes left to live. He could still save her. As they reached the super large hospital room, Adrian could feel the tension across the room. The seeds of tragedy growing slowly, waiting to unleash. "Please doctor! Save her!!" Matilda cried beside the bed, holding the hands of the dying girl. The doctors were trying everything they could. The female servants stood together at a corner, sobbing. James Halton rushed to the side of Matilda and looked the lead doctor in the eye. "What is going on, Doctor Lewis? The girl is becoming worse." Doctor Lewis shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr Halton. We have tried everything, and there's nothing more we can do now. Her chances of survival are way below one. We can only hope for some miracle." "Hope for a miracle?" Halton squeezed the doctor's coat in anger, it looked like he was going to attack him. Then his eyes fell on Adrian. "You! You said you could save her. Then come forward and do something!" Every eye turned to Adrian, wondering how this misfit was going to do anything to save the billionaire's daughter when well trained medical personelle had failed to do a thing for her. "This thing?! I thought I instructed those two dimwits to throw him out!" Matilda boiled. It was as though she was disgusted by the very sight of him. "Who is this?" Doctor Lewis questioned. "Someone who hasn't given up on her!" Halton ushered Adrian forward as the doctors protested it. "What are his credentials?" The doctor asked again. He had none. "We cannot allow him to do anything to her." "The doctor is right, James." Matilda seconded. "This thing cannot even keep himself clean, how can he keep Lyana alive?" "She has about 59 seconds left." Adrian faced James Halton, not minding what the others were saying. If he was going to save her, then they couldn't delay it any longer. "Come on. Do your thing." James Halton gave way for him as he stepped beside Lyana who lay unconscious. "No. We cannot allow an outsider to lay hands on our patient. Especially an high ranking patient like Miss Lyana, and especially not this person dressed in rags, wet with blood and water. We cannot allow this..." Lewis found his voice cut off as his head crashed on the wall behind him and his throat burnt at the choke hold of James Halton. "Shut the fuck up, doctor!" Meanwhile, Adrian held Lyana's other hand and awaited his instructions. "System. Now." He whispered in his heart. "Don't fail me now." A shining light grew between his hand and Lyana's, and it grew brighter, fazing everyone in the room. "What is he doing?" "Is this magic?" "You see, James. I told you he was a fraud!" "Someone stop this man..." Then the light receded, and in Adrian's hand was a little oval glass gourd of glowing white liquid. "GIVE THE POTION OF LIFE TO MISS LYANA. YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS LEFT." Instantly, he swiped the glass open and turned it over on her lips. The potion came out in drops. By the third drop, Lyana Rodriguez coughed and her eyes opened to the sight of Adrian. "Did she just... Open her eyes? Is she awake?" A maid whispered. "She is alive." Another responded. "He truly saved her life." Everywhere was as quiet as a grave house as each person stared at another in shock, then at Adrian, then at Lyana who was slowly sitting up by herself. "What happened?" Lyana muttered, seemingly unaware of her sickness. "Why is everyone staring at me?" In a moment, the silence became chaos as the entire room erupted into jubilations. The maid servants all hugged one another in tears while the doctors shook their heads in shame. James Halton and Matilda held Lyana as if she had come back from the dead, suprised at how good she looked. It was as if she was never ill in the first place. "CONGRATULATIONS, MR BLOOD. YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR FIRST MISSION. YOU ARE NOW OFFICIALLY GRANTED THE STATUS OF ANCHOR." Adrian's work here was done. He had saved the life of the billionaire girl. He had no more reason to be in that room, especially after the loads of insult he had taken today. With everyone else distracted by their jubilations, Adrian turned around to leave. Just as he reached the doorway where the two security guards stayed, he heard a voice calling him. "Wait up, gentleman!" It was James Halton. He must want to thank him personally for what he had just done. "You have done an incredible service to this family. I am certain the chairman would want to meet you himself. You can ask him for anything you want. Anything at all." Adrian was not going to do any such thing. He was not the biggest fan of the Rodriguez family. They had always stepped on the lower families to glorify themselves with their riches. He was not ready to sit on the same table with Federico Rodriguez or any member of that family. Also anytime he remembered what happened tonight with Ricardo and Teresa, his anger doubled. "No, thank you." He declined. "I don't need any reward." Adrian turned around, leaving James Halton with a shocked expression. "I still do not know your name." He requested. "Adrian Blood." A cab stopped in front of Adrian. How convenient to find them when a life was not on the line. As he returned back home for the rest of the night, his phone, almost completely destroyed by the traumas of tonight, vibrated continuously. "CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE BEEN REWARDED WITH ONE MILLION DOLLARS AND TEN CHARACTER POINTS AFTER COMPLETING TODAY'S MISSION!"

Ricardo Rodriguez was spending the rest of the night with his new girlfriend, celebrating his amazing past few months when his phone rang up."Why are you disturbing me?" He knew it was his friend, Doctor Lewis, but this was not the best time to call him. He was in the middle of such nice time, Teresa's titties bouncing on his lips. Now this nerd had come to ruin it."We have a problem." Lewis said through the phone."This problem so big it can't wait till tomorrow?" Ricardo moaned as Teresa began to blow him slowly."It is your sister." Lewis seemed to be whispering over the phone."What? She finally died?" Ricardo urged Teresa to go faster as he closed his eyes in pleasure."No. She actually recovered."Ricardo's two eyes shot open in shock. "What did you say?""Lyana recovered. And now she's awake."With a violent push, Ricardo threw Teresa against the bed. Then he put on a robe and paced around the room in annoyance."How did this happen, Lewis? You had just one job!""It was all

The university was not the best place to be today. From the very first minute that Adrian laid foot into the environment, the toxicity of the atmosphere stiffened his breathe tight. Every person who saw him would giggle or frown or shake their heads before deeping their faces back into their phone screens. It didn't take long to realize something was going on."What is going on?" He wondered. "Is this because of what happened last night?"Of course the entire school was present when Ricardo had his boys ship him out like unwanted cargo many hours ago. Everyone who witnessed it was eager to make fun of him, like Mrs Huddersfield and Billy. But there was more with the way they all looked at him. Like some criminal who had committed a grievous crime. There must be something more going on around here."Hey system", he whispered. "Can you help me out here?""Absolutely!" The system voice chimed in his head.

"What are you doing here?"Adrian couldn't believe this. Teresa was right there all along and the school authority allowed her to listen in on their conversation? She was just a student like every other person, why allow her such admonition?"Well, Miss Williams is the victim in this case. She surely deserves the liberty of presence through the entire hearing."More like Ricardo had paid his way through to allow her interfere in this interrogation. That way they could make sure Adrian lost completely. Why else was she all dolled up like a wedding bride?"This monster tried to rape me. He should be in a prison somewhere now, I can't even bear to look at him. He is terrifying." She pointed her fingers at him while keeping a safe distance, as though he was some vicious threat she shouldn't be anywhere around."What are you talking about? I even bought you a present for Valentine, why would I try to force myself on you?""Because I rejected you."Adrian was silent for a while. She did rej

Adrian walked out of the School Board of Judges' presence with his pride restored. Although he was unable to prove the terrible allegations as vile and false, he was able to give them something to think about. He enjoyed watching their faces go blue, especially Donald McMahon, he nearly lost his balance in shock. Teresa looked as if she had seen a ghost, she could not speak another word till Adrian walked out in all calmness. Their eyes followed him all the way out and he could still feel their stares on his back as he left the premises for a closure to the day."Hey!!"He heard rushed footsteps calling behind him.Turning around, Adrian was not suprised to see his ex girlfriend. Teresa stopped right in front of him, running out of breathe."What did you do back there?" She managed to find her lungs again."What? I just paid my bills like a man should. Is there anything I can do to help you?"Her eyes darkened in annoyance. It was as if he struck her ego unknowingly. Her brows curled

Adrian's head banged loud at the urgency of the situation. He had to save Ricardo's sister again? He already saved her life last night? Why was her life already in danger again? Now he had to abandon the search for his father?"It is your choice, Adrian. Do you want to continue with the filler mission, or you would like to take on this one instead? You have four minutes left."He really wanted to find out about his father, but the thought of Lyana dying after what he went through last night to save her was not good. He needed to save her again. Afterall he could come back and do this later."Wh... Where is she? At the hospital?"The map appeared. "No, Adrian. She appears to be in a vehicle on her way home from the hospital. For some reason, she was discharged today under untold circumstances."Adrian checked the map. Lyana's vehicle was driving across the Stephanie Lane Bridge Pass. That was way on the other side of town, there was no way he could get there in four minutes."But I ca

"Luck?" James Halton smirked. "You see, Mr Blood. Here's one thing about me: I don't believe in luck. You came by the hospital the other day too and you knew exactly what was going to happen to Miss Lyana and just how to prevent it. That is not luck. It is something else. Is there something you don't want to reveal to us?"It looked like he was getting suspicions now. Adrian couldn't stand there for any more minute."Mr Blood has gone through so much today trying to save me." Lyana interrupted. "Surely you can discuss this later, James.""Oh I'm sorry, Miss Lyana." He extended his handshake. "We will talk later, Mr Blood. I have to tidy things up here."As he walked away, Lyana apologized for James Halton's crudeness."Mr Halton has been assigned to protect me since when I was a little girl, it is only natural for him to be a little over defensive.""No problem." Adrian responded, ready to leave."Wait," she held him back. "My father is hosting a grand dinner tonight in celebration of

Adrian walked into the store with a confidence that touched the skies. He approached the store handler who kept her gaze away at once, wearing an expression of disgust."What do you want?" She sighed when she realised Adrian had stopped in front of her. Adrian recognized her too. She was the one who sold the gift box to her on valentine's day. When he had come to purchase a very cheap gift for his girlfriend in this massively elegant store and everyone scorned him, she was the only one who was warm to him. How come she was so cold now?"There is nothing for you to buy here. We don't sell your cheap items anymore." She cursed sharply, eyeing him from head to toe."I am not here to buy cheap items." Adrian responded in kind. He was no longer unsure of himself like he used to be. He was now going to be the wealthiest man in the world no matter the circumstances, a simple store handler was nothing to push him around."I want the most expensive collection of outfits you have ever held in t

As Adrian Blood approached the table with smiles, he was welcomed with mixed reactions. As he expressed his pleasantries to Federico Rodriguez, he noticed Chairman Astana by his side, cursing him with his eyes. There also was his wife, staring at him with all the hate she had in her heart. Worse was Melissa Rodriguez, Lyana's stepmother. She had never liked Adrian, and frankly, after Adrian's little stunt the other day, the woman's dislike had only grown ten times worse. She would rather he died and never returned, or better still, that he fell off that high horse he was put by luck and destiny."I was starting to wonder where you were." The chairman said. "People were starting to ask questions.""I was busy handling the work you assigned to me.""And what have you found out?" Chairman Astana asked in a hurry. "I hear a lot about you. By now, you should have our answers if what they say about you is true.""Patience, chairman." Adrian Blood took his seat just adjacent to them. Other a

That would solidify her loyalty to Adrian Blood, and the poor masses would see her story and call her a true model. But she would set her entire family on fire.

After the call with Lyana Rodriguez, Luther Astana found a new way to impress Lyana. When he realized that she was looking into her step mother's past, he took it as his opportunity to be of use to her. "You forgot to hang up on me." He had told her."And so what? You are going to tell on me now?" Lyana had sounded as indifferent as possible but when he said, "No. I am going to help you", she became surprised."What? You are not the first person who has ever shown interest in your hot stepmother."Luther had always been like that. He make flirting jokes about everything, about every woman. Lyana used to like those sort of jokes, so he thought he could chip a few of them in there again, but this time, it did not seem to work."Well, I used to show interest too. Until I found something in my mother's safe. Melissa Rodriguez was married before." He told her, happy to be the one who informed her first.

"Do you know what I think? I think the chairwoman is the only one capable of running the Rodriguez Corporation. The chairman should pass the company down to her, and not anybody else."That was the very last straw for Lyana. She had taken enough disrespect and it was only right if she replied in kind."You know what I think, Lady Murray?" With a dramatic pose, she closed the magazine. "I think you are just a woman whose only achievement is being lucky to marry an associate. Let us face it, you would not even be in the same room as me nor get to talk rough about me if you were not sucking hard at the chairwoman's tits."That was totally unexpected. The young stylists could not contain their shock. It was written all over their faces. The ladies around frowned, and Lady Murray was totally flabbergasted. Even Julia was surprised that Lyana would respond so hard. But all their reactions when nothing when a chuckle came from the end of the room.Everybody turned around angrily to meet Ann

Melissa Rodriguez was seated like the queen she was, getting her hair done by the best hairstyling team from across the world. In the room, her companions were ladies of high affluence and popularity, all married to the richest men in the city. Wives of associates, wives of governors. "The chairwoman's birthday ceremony is setting up as the most talked about event across the country. No other person has pulled more attention than this in any recent history." Julia announced to the gathering of women. She stood just beside the chairwoman, caressing her ego as she had always done. "Chairwoman Rodriguez is obviously the most respected woman in Ravendale, it is only natural that her party is the most popular of our time." Lady Murray added. The other women agreed. They were all attended by the staff of The Hair Goddess, the best hair styling crew in the entire world. While the young and beautiful female

Lyana Rodriguez sat in her special chamber, buried in the heaps of documents that piled up on her table. She could feel the weight of events around her. Every other person in the mansion was busy planning for the chairwoman's birthday, but Lyana could not be concerned in the least bit. Instead, she had another activity she had created for herself."There is nothing here" she vented. "And even if there is, all these documents are saying the same thing." The young maid who was with her nodded in acceptance. She looked so clueless."Mistress Lyana, is there any specific reason you want to know about Miss Julia's past?" The accompanying maid seemed inquisitive, she was almost as much as invested in this as Lyana was.Lyana did not have an answer to that. It was a mystery for her too when Adrian whispered to her that day. "I need you to find out everything you can about Julia.

Secretary Wallers was astounded to find Adrian Blood in her home again, but she was surprised that he had shown up through a back door. He had shown up unexpectedly."Mr Blood!" As she exclaimed, Adrian held her mouth to prevent the loudness in her voice. He checked to make sure he had totally lost the ones who were secretly following him. Adrian knew of Ricardo's directives to his men. He had noticed them following him since the very moment he became friends with that liar. "Do you have a place we can talk? A secret place where nobody can listen in on us?" Adrian demanded."Sure, I do..." The woman responded, but Adrian Blood shook his head. "A place hidden from even your daughter...?"
