2025-01-14 07:33:39"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 my miraculous recovery. Every huge personality in the country will be present. It is my desire that you of every other person in this world, should be present as well. Afterall, without you, there would be nothing to celebrate." "Sorry, Miss Rodriguez. But I don't think I will be able to make it." Adrian turned to leave again. The idea of attending a dinner hosted by the Rodriguez family did not excite him, especially since he knew Ricardo Rodriguez would be present. That also meant the presence of Teresa. He wanted nothing to do with those two from now on. But Lyana would not give up yet. "Take this." She slid something into his fingers, a black card. "If you ever change your mind, Adrian, you are a VIP guest at my dinner." With that, she backed away slowly, her face full of hope that he would reconsider. He didn't recall giving his name to her, but he recalled James Halton giving it out loud. A new vehicle waited for her, James Halton himself the driver this time around. They zoomed off into the distance, but Adrian knew she still stole glances. Lyana seemed to be totally into Adrian. It wouldn't be a bad move afterall if he got back at Ricardo by dating his sister. Adrian smirked. Maybe he should attend the party afterall, this would be very interesting. Just that he didn't have a ride, or a luxurious outfit for such occasion. "CONGRATULATIONS, ADRIAN. ANOTHER MISSION COMPLETED. YOUR REWARD IS ON ITS WAY." Adrian gave a nod, realizing he no longer had the ability of a speedster. How would he get home now? Suddenly a bright light flashed into his eyes. A Lamborghini Aventador rode into view as he raised his gaze. It was not just any car but a spectacle made of gold. In front of him, it parked and a man walked out with some paper works. "Mr Blood, here is your car. You just need to sign these papers and it's all done." He dropped off a key with Adrian before turning around to exit. A brand new ride? Adrian's eyes watered in disbelief. He had always imagined himself driving one of these luxuries. He even learnt to drive as a boy in the village back when he was in high school. He learnt from his foster mother's brother who drove a truck. His uncle would make him drive once in a while even though he was below the age. The laws in the village were not so strict as there wasn't many cars on the road, and accidents barely ever happened. "Let's go!" Adrian jumped into the soft machine, rocking it to a start and racing back home. "This is just the first half of your reward, Adrian. The other half is still on the way." What? There was more? Well he was not tired of having them all. He couldn't wait to know what the next thing was. "Head to the Elites Store." The system continued. "You can purchase as many items as you like to, the payments have all been made." The Elites Store was just as it was named. A store for just elites where only the very wealthy were allowed entry. It had all the best and latest designer wears and fashion outfits that a person would desire. Adrian needed to do some shopping if he was going to suprise the Rodriguez family tonight. He pulled over by the super huge store, his ride a perfect blend with the flashiness of the environment. Everyone around marvelled at the beauty of the vehicle and wondered whom the rich owner was. The ladies shopping all paused their activities, waiting expectantly for the door of the car to open. When it did open, Adrian came out calmly and confidently, emitting the aura of a big man, but nobody was impressed. "Who is that dude?" "He doesn't look so special, how come he's the one driving that vehicle?" "I don't think he is the owner. Just some driver flaunting the wealth of his boss." "Well if that's the case, shouldn't we get close to him? Who knows, if we pay him well, we may get to meet his handsome boss!" The ladies giggled among each other and indulged in the thought of their plans. Meanwhile there was another lady who was equally stunned by the extravagance of this unknown individual. From inside the flashy store, Bethany Lawrence admired the Lamborghini made of gold and anticipated to behold the man behind the wheel. But she was equally surprised to see a moderately dressed fellow step out gently. Was he really the owner of that car? If so then why dress so shabbily? Beth didn't care too much. As long as he was rich and he would spend on her, then she could give him a shot. "What are you doing, babe?" That was her boyfriend asking for her. His name was Trevor. He had taken her to this store of Elites this evening to shop for jewelries. Trevor was not a super rich guy but at least he could take care of Beth. Unlike most of her broke former boyfriends who could only afford fake diamonds, Trevor was ready to spend on her even if it meant stealing from his parents like he had done today. "You know I would do anything for you, baby." Trevor put his arms around her waist, reaching into the skin beneath her dress. Yes, Trevor would do anything for her, but he was still leagues below whomever this car belonged to. That was the person Bethany wanted right now. Then Trevor's eyes caught a familiar figure. "Wait... Isn't that Adrian Blood? That punk! What is he doing here?" Trevor was angry, remembering that Adrian still owed him a few dollars. Beth observed the driver of the golden car again, it was really Adrian Blood. She knew him as a pathetic loser at school and one of the poor fellows Trevor liked to step on. How was he ever in control of a car this expensive? Did he become wealthy overnight?

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

"Let us make this a little bit more interesting." Trevor smiled with evil. "The person who wins this game gets to walk on a human carpet as the loser will lie face flat on the floor. Do you agree?"Adrian could see how confident Trevor was. It was so much interesting this way."Deal." Adrian agreed, knowing Trevor would regret this idea soon enough.And so the game began.Everything Adrian picked was special and super expensive. For each expensive item Trevor selected, Adrian only went for something more expensive. He knew all his purchases had already been covered no matter how much the items were. All he had to was give his card and confirm the purchase. Even if he bought every single thing in this huge megastore, he would still walk out as a free man. But Trevor Steel, he might end up spending all his fortunes if he doesn't give up soon enough."Baby, I want that necklace. It's made of a special stone.

"It doesn't seem you are getting any money from your family, Trevor. Why not just do as promised and let us all go on our way? Everyone is waiting." The night was going so well for Adrian. This was the best revenge so far.Everyone around had brought out their phones to record. Adrian remembered just a few nights ago when Trevor had been the one recording. He was the main instigator who urged Ricardo Rodriguez on to humiliate Adrian completely. For so many years, Trevor had tried to make friends with Ricardo but he was out of his league. So he supported anything the Italian kid did especially when it came to the oppression of the less privileged. This would only be a taste of his own medicine."No... No... I can't do this..."Trevor looked around, security was here. Every customer in the shop had their cameras out for a live stream. They wanted to see him flat on the floor so he could be walked on."Be fast and do it, you were the one who made the rules, remember?" Someone said."We a

"Throw him out of here. I don't ever want to see him or any member of the so called Steel family in this store or any other branch across the city and beyond." As Love Morgan instructed, Trevor was bundled away carelessly like a sack of salt. His tears filled the floor where he had been the carpet. As Trevor was removed from the facility, he promised himself that he would revenge this insult. That he would call retribution for this disgrace somehow in the future. "And someone clean this place up!" Love commanded. She pointed to Maggie and Carlton. "Both of you! And you must do it with your bodies if you still want to have your jobs!" "Right away, ma'am!" The two went to the floor immediately as instructed, rolling over the make sure the filth would disappear. "And you must make sure it is sparkling white!" Love Morgan was not a joker. She was firm and stern, and she had a commanding personality. Adrian admired her in a way. A woman like that by his side would make his reven

Billy gasped for breathe as Adrian raised him off the ground against the wall, struggling for breath.Madam Huddersfield was hitting Adrian from the back, asking him to let her son go. But her slaps meant nothing to Adrian, he didn't even feel them. Even though some of the other tenants were around, witnessing the scene, nobody bothered to interfere. It was obvious they all enjoyed it, they all despised the landlady and her son for their troubles."Please... Please... Let me go..."

He had taken advantage of the situation and completed more filler missions, and he was even going to be rewarded for that as well."YOUR REWARD IS RIGHT HERE!" The system announced.

Helena tried to run the other way, but there were people circled around her. It was as if every single breathing thing in that environment was turned against her in the passing of a second.

If he was not Peter, then what is to say that Jorja was really Jorja. The men in black found them. "Hand over the girl, Elias. We will take it from here."Elias frowned and smirked. "You want to go fuck her? Cause it is either that or you go and fuck yourself.""Mr Halton has told us what to do with the girl. Hand her over."

In the middle of the cold street, not far from the partying house and its doctored guests, an old friend sat in the comfort of the limousine and conversed with the troubled mouthpiece of the inner circle."Chairman Rodriguez has asked for your help." James Halton said. "He sees you are the best person who can see this storm to an end. He promises to reward you abundantly if you help him this time."His companion sighed. "Many years ago, I gave up on the life of riches. Federico Rodriguez knows that I do not care about his wealth. I was chosen by the deeper circle for a reason, and it did not include wealth."James Halton sighed. He could not speak out of turn in front of this person, but he needed to secure a deal. That was why the chairman had sent him this far."Why hasn't Federico come to see me himself?" The figure continued. "Him and Astana, they are making things ugly in Ravendale. The boss is getting angry. So they might be replaced, them and their entire families.""Forgive us

"What is he doing here?" Helena turned to Jorja, though her voice did not do justice to the volume of her thoughts. Jorja did not hear her, but as if she did, she marvelled over the beautiful sight of the two lovebirds."Jacob is one of our very special friends." She said. "He is a very smart and very determined young man.""And very treacherous too." Helena thought. If only Jorja knew what Jacob had done to her. How he had colluded with evil men to throw her into an eternal world of oblivion. The very sight of him made her cringe. There was nothing she could do. She would just rather walk away, taking delight in the more interesting and less poisonous things at the party.As soon as Helena walked forward, away from Jacob's gaze and away from Jorja's guide, Peter pulled back his wife to have a conversation.

A man stood in front of them, several feet tall. He was made of bulging muscles and his chest peeped beneath his shirt, barely covered by the extravagance of the suit. Adrian recognised him at once."Grenade." Adrian called, pointing at the man. He was one the specially trained security goons he had hired to protect his family. "You are the one I put in charge. Where is everybody? Where is my sister and my uncle?"Grenade sighed. "I am sorry, boss. I tried to warn her but the little mistress would not listen.""What are you talking about?" Adrian hated how this was sounding, where it might be heading. When people put in charge of dire responsibility make these kinds of apologies, it did not put the mind at rest."Your sister is safe." The man continued, much to Adrian's relief. "Then where is she?""She dismissed every single one of us and allowed only I to stay behind and guard the house. She said that the boys had been working nonstop for days, and they deserved to rest she gave th

The inner circle meeting was taking place now.

We have enslaved the masses and we have collaborated with their leaders. True power has been with us more than anything ever seen. Yet these days, we have looked so weak to the outside world, and disrespect is beginning to set in".Some would say that his complaint was no fault of anyone else but his own family. It was his daughter who submitted herself to a lucky gambler and set the internet on fire. It was not them or their families. If anyone had truly made a joke of this association, it was Federico Rodriguez himself."Yet our biggest problem yet is not these side distractions. No. Our biggest problem is Sebastian Waters legacy". He left the space for silence and what followed was disgruntled murmurs from the associates. They were tired of hearing this name already, a

"Not until he tells me everything I want to know."George sighed. "You should know that Adrian is doing everything for your own sake.

Elias was getting ready for the mission at hand. His guns and his poisoned daggers all lay unstrapped and bare in front of him. As he selected the best fits to take along with him, the door opened and his men came in.

Jacob did not wait for the men to speak for him. "Something you would find very useful."Information uhh? Elias breathed coldly, "Speak away then."Jacob shook his head around, glancing at everybody else. "Take me to James Halton and I will say it in front of him." The men shared strange looks with their boss. Elias followed with that same old loud laughter that Jacob hated so much, and he was aided by his men."Whatever you wanna say, boy, you are saying it here. To me."

The list was so long yet she knew just the important ones to take note of. Federico Rodriguez was Lyana's father. Of course, he will want revenge for this disrespect. Yet he was not the best option neither the most accessible option for Mrs Huddersfield. There was Luther Astana who was supposed to marry Lyana. He was the most insulted by this public display of affection between Lyana and Adrian. He would feel so disrespected and he would seek for revenge. The landlady knew that Luther would be so happy to know that Adrian had a younger sister, it would be the perfect scenery for his vengeance. Mrs Huddersfield did not care about whatever Luther would do to the girl, as long he rewarded her generously for this information. But Luther Astana was not a man to be found easily.

Jacob was left devastated as he sat by himself in the same bar where he had lost all his money. No, he did not lose it. He won everything there was to win yet those losers accused him of cheating so they could deny him of his reward. Even though James Halton had commanded them to return him everything, they only pretended to listen to him. All they gave was a few bucks and asked him to get lost."I worked hard for that money. I am not leaving this place without my own money at least." He vowed to himself. He remembered how he had to deceive Helena so he could make that money. He still blamed himself for betraying his own girlfriend, but that was what he had to do to make some money. Helena herself was naive and stupid. If she had listened to her troublesome brother, maybe she would not be in that situation. Jacob wondered what had become of her. What did those men do to Helena and why have them come to see Elias now?"I have to find out." An urge grew within him. James Halton was a w
