RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 136
Peyton’s face paled as he watched Rhea address Adrian with so much respect. The doubt and confusion he felt earlier was now replaced with fear as he realized that Adrian really hadn’t been bluffing. Adrian remained calm as he met Rhea’s gaze. “That car,” he began, pointing to the car behind Peyton, “belongs to my wife, Anita. It broke down last night on the side of the road. And this app.” He raised his phone, showing her the tracking app on the screen. “is connected to the tracking device which was placed in her car for security measures. The app clearly says that her car is here, but your brother-in-law claims it’s his. How is that possible?”Rhea’s gaze remained on Adrian’s phone screen for a moment, then her expression tightened as she now understood the situation. She nodded, and without needing further explanation, she turned towards Peyton’s direction, a glint of annoyance flickering in her eyes. Peyton, who noticed the disapproving look Rhea was giving him, blurted out defen
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 137
Before joining the truck driver, Adrian first placed a call to one of Anita’s bodyguards, instructing him to come and pick up Anita’s car and drive it back to her apartment. Then, rolling up his sleeves, he crouched next to the truck driver, who was already carefully gathering the fallen antiques and loading them back into the truck.Adrian began helping out and as he picked up the pieces of a broken Ming Dynasty vase, an ancient looking scroll fell out suddenly, and the momentary distraction caused Adrian to prick his finger against a sharp edge of the vase. He hissed slightly, as he dropped the broken pieces and inspected the cut.While he was doing this, some blood from his finger dropped on the scroll, and Adrian was about to ignore it until something strange happened—The blood, instead of staining the scroll, absorbed into it and vaporized.“What the—” A crease formed on Adrian’s brow as he picked up the scroll which had ancient Chinese inscriptions and drawings written on the re

Regina frowned as she looked between the invitations in her hand, and the ones Henry was showing her. Doubt swirled in her mines as she saw the clear difference between them. Hers definitely paled in comparison. Not wanting to reveal the doubt on her face, she cleared her throat and squared her chin. “Until the security guards say otherwise, then I don’t believe our invitations are fake.” Fiona rolled her eyes at Regina’s attempt at seeming unfazed, even though it was clear by the way her hands twitched that she was extremely nervous. “Regina, you don’t have to pretend to be confident, when It’s obvious you’re scared. “You know as well as we do that those cards you’re holding are worthless.” Evelyn pouted, her face expression turning to one of feigned concern. “Aunt Regina, there is no need to feel ashamed,” she chimed in, in a bit to add fuel to the fire. “It’s clear that Anita’s good for nothing husband had deceived you both. If you don’t want to be embarrassed once the securit

Adrian's voice echoed through the narrow hallway and instantly drew the landlord's attention. The short, rotund man turned towards Adrian, his face twisted in disapproval, but Adrian’s focus was now on Irene. He rushed to her side as she braced herself against the wall, steadying her frame. The moment his hand touched her arm, he began to sense the essence of her wellbeing. It was as if he was viewing a visual representation of her health status, and he could detect that all her vitals were okay. Her cancer was truly gone.Relief flooded through Adrian, and he smiled gently as Irene caught her breath, patting her arm reassuringly. "I’ll handle this, mom. You just stay aside."Irene nodded and was about to say something when the gruff, crude voice of the landlord interrupted the moment. “Hey you!” the landlord barked, pointing a pudgy finger at Adrian. “Get your mother out of here! I’ve already rented this place out to someone else, so find another apartment to stay!”Adrian’s jaw t

Adrian shook his head as he stared at the way the landlord’s face contorted with pain. Irene, who was behind him, panicked, her eyes wide with worry as she saw the landlord doubling over and clutching his chest. “Adrian, what do we do?” She asked in an urgent voice as she stepped towards the landlord. “We should help him.” Irene was about to move towards the landlord as she said this, but Adrian slightly touched her arm, preventing her from going. “He’s having a heart attack, mom,” Adrian informed her, his voice calm as though there wasn’t a man fighting for his life in front of him. “There’s no need to panic. I’ll stabilize him.” Irene’s forehead contorted in a frown as she tried to understand what Adrian had just said. As far as she remembered, he didn’t have any medical training. She was about to voice out her confusion, but Adrian had already started walking towards the landlord. The landlord wheezed, his face now as red as beetroot, and sweat broke out of his forehead a

Anita froze for a millisecond, feeling the strong arm around her waist, but as she realized that she was in the arms of a man who wasn’t her husband, she jerked away from him, her face flushing with a mix of embarrassment and gratitude.Thank you for catching me,” she managed, giving him a polite but guarded smile. She turned to leave, but the man stopped her as he spoke. “I should be the one thanking you,” he flashed a smile that showed his pearly white teeth. “I got an opportunity to see an angel today.”Anita’s polite smile faltered, and she shifted on her feet as she avoided his gaze. She had to stop his flattery before it crossed a line. “Actually—” she began but was interrupted by the nasally sound of a feminine voice.“Ethan, darling. There are some people I want you to meet,” the voice drew nearer and a middle aged eccentric looking woman appeared beside the man, whose name Anita now knew to be Ethan.The woman’s eyes flickered toward Anita, and she gave her a once over, a smi

Fiona gasped, not knowing what to say for a moment, then her eyes narrowed as she gave Regina a withering glare. “My daughter is much more beautiful than yours!” She defended, and scoffs could be heard from Ophelia, Ethan, and the guests. Even Henry wasn’t left out as he stifled a snicker.Evelyn’s mouth shot open when she caught Henry trying to laugh and she nudged him painfully in the ribs, giving him a stern glare.“See, even your son-in-law agrees with me,” Regina taunted, her eyes also catching onto the scolding glare Evelyn gave Henry. Fiona frowned, her cheeks reddening in embarrassment as she pointed at Regina. “You!—”“That enough you two!” Ophelia chided from where she stood, her lips turned down in a disapproving frown. “Are you not ashamed? Bickering at each other like a bunch of teenagers,” she made her tsk tsk sound while shaking her head. “How uncouth.”Fiona let out a nervous smile as she turned to Ophelia. “I apologize for losing my etiquette, Mrs. Blackwell,” she fe

Adrian's grip on his phone tightened, his jaw tightening as he replayed the bodyguard’s words. How dare they throw his wife and mother-in-law out?! They’d surely regret it.He instantly dialed Rhea Smith’s number and pressed the phone to his ear. She picked up on the first ring. “Young master,” she answered.“Rhea, are you at the Mayor’s daughter’s wedding?” Adrian asked, his anger barely restrained.“Not yet, young master,” Rhea replied. “But I’m on my way there.”“Good,” Adrian gritted before continuing. “I want you to call the manager of that hotel and ask him to shut down the wedding taking place there! Under no circumstance must that wedding continue!”Rhea was a bit taken aback at the intensity of Adrian’s voice. She hesitated before asking, “young master, is everything alright?”“No,” Adrian deadpanned. “My wife, Anita, and her mother were thrown out for some reason. And until I get to the bottom of it. That wedding wouldn’t hold.”“Understood, young master.” Rhea finally agree

Henry and Evelyn froze like deers caught in headlights as Adrian’s voice echoed throughout the hall. All eyes turned to them, and in that moment, they wished the ground would open up and swallow them whole. Evelyn was the first to regain her composure, and she instantly replied with a nervous chuckle. “Yes…but the thing is…” She trailed off as she scrambled for an excuse to give, and then it hit her. She quickly jabbed Henry’s stomach with her elbow, and the moment he winced, she wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “Henry suddenly developed a stomach upset!” She announced dramatically. “I need to take him to the hospital right away.” Henry immediately caught up to her plan and clutched onto his stomach, feigning more pained groans. “Ouch…it hurts.” Adrian cocked a brow as he instantly saw through their lies, and luckily for him, he was already two steps ahead. “That’s too bad,” he smacked his teeth in feigned sympathy. But then his expression lit up. “Fortunately, we have a

The hall was thrown into a panic-filled frenzy as Natalie pulled the trigger, and everyone’s heart lodged in their mouths as they dreaded what they’d see.As soon as the gun fired, Adrian stepped in front of Anita, completely shielding her.The world around him blurred as a sudden feeling overtook him and he saw the bullet moving in slow motion.His hand instinctively shot out and before he could even process it, the bullet got trapped between his fingers.The hot metal of the bullet would have seared the hand of an ordinary human, but Adrian was far from ordinary. The moment he realized he had caught the bullet, the world around him returned to normal.Natalie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “H-How..?” The words fell from her lips, but she didn’t complete them as she pulled the trigger again, with more force this time.Luckily for her, she had been wise enough to load the gun with more than one bullet.Adrian saw the second bullet coming and in one swift motion, he caught it with his o

As soon as Adrian made the announcement, all eyes turned to Anita, who looked completely stunned that the spotlight was on her.Adrian extended his hand toward her, a charming smile gracing his lips. “Come, Anita. Come to me.”Anita did her best to maintain a composed smile, hiding her unease as she gracefully approached Adrian.Regina and Vincent followed closely behind, their expressions equally confused.Anita was endowed in a shimmering, diamond studded powder-blue gown which had a thigh-high slit that revealed glimpses of her slender, toned legs as she walked.Her brown hair was styled in bouncy waves, and her beautiful features became more striking with the minimal makeup she had on.The guests all let out collective gasps as the spotlight followed her.Her flawless face, luscious hair, and the stunning dress made her seem like she had descended straight from heaven. Adrian was captivated by her radiating beauty, and couldn’t stop smiling.When Anita finally reached him and pla

The hug between Regina and Adrian lasted for a few seconds before Regina pulled back, and all the while Adrian’s eyes protruded from their sockets.He couldn’t just hide his shock.Regina’s hands lingered on his arms as she stared at him with affection. “I never thought I'd say this,” she admitted with a chuckle. “But I’m very grateful to you. I misjudged you, and I apologize for ever underestimating you.”It took Adrian a moment to regain his composure, and when he did, he offered Regina a warm smile. “It’s fine, mother-in-law. I’m just glad I’ve finally earned your approval.”Regina nodded. “I’m glad too. I hope this marks a new beginning between us moving forward.”And with that, Anita and her father joined in the hug to seal the emotional moment of reconnection and reconciliation.>>>>>The Engagement Day…The party was already in swing, although the main event hadn’t yet begun because Anita hadn't yet arrived.Dignitaries from all over Wibston were gathered in the grandiose hal

Anita’s eyes widened as her legs twitched again…and again. “Oh my God!” Her breath hitched as she regained sensation in her limbs. “I can feel my legs! I can feel my legs!”Regina and Vincent froze, their gazes gluing to her trembling limbs in pure disbelief.“You can feel your legs?” Regina echoed shakily. Anita nodded frantically as her fingers dug into the sofa while her legs kept twitching uncontrollably. When Adrian felt like he had transferred enough energy to Anita’s spine, he let go of her hand.A deep breath escaped his mouth as he felt the drain of energy from his body. His vision blurred for a moment before stabilizing, and when he finally looked at Anita, she was staring at him in awe.“How do you feel now?” He asked in a slightly hoarse voice.Anita let out an incredulous laugh. “My legs…I can feel them.” Her voice sounded very excited. “I can even move my toes. Look…”She demonstrated her words by wiggling them, her eyes shining with childlike wonder. “Good.” Adrian
CHAPTER 295
Adrian maintained a serious expression as he met Anita’s confused gaze. “I have…abilities,” he confessed.Anita blinked, and she removed her hands from Adrian’s grip. “What?” Adrian inhaled and continued. “After coming in contact with the mystic scroll of an ancient Chinese grandmaster, I gained martial arts and healing abilities. I want to help you walk again, if you’ll let me.”There was a brief silence before Anita’s face contorted in deeper confusion. “This doesn’t make sense. How can a scroll give you abilities?”“Do you think we’re fools or something?” Regina scoffed from behind Adrian. “I thought you had changed from your slimy ways, but it seems I overestimated you.”“I have to agree with my wife on this one, son,” Vincent added with a frown. “Making a joke out of Anita’s condition is highly insensitive. I expected better from you.”Anita’s eyes glistened as she stared at Adrian with hurt written all over her face. “I can’t believe you would play with my feelings like this?
CHAPTER 294
The next day, Anita and Adrian sat in their living room at the Glorious Garden Estate, waiting for Anita’s parents to arrive.Anita’s heart pounded and she placed a hand on her chest, taking in deep breaths in a bid to calm it.Adrian noticed her anxiousness and squeezed her hand, though his was a bit sweaty. Today wasn’t just about Anita’s pregnancy revelation, it was also the day he’d propose to her and reveal his abilities. He tried his best to keep himself calm, despite how almost impossible it seemed.The moment Anita saw Regina and Vincent coming down the stairs, her nerves skyrocketed and she tightened her hand around his.“Breathe, Anita. It’ll all go smoothly,” Adrian whispered to her, though it felt more like he was assuring himself.Regina’s gaze landed on them the moment she reached the foot of the stairs, and her steps slowed as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.“What’s going on?” She voiced out as her eyes alternated between their awkward expressions. Vincent, on th

The sales lady paused in her tracks at Evelyn’s words, and her eyes nervously darted to Adrian, unsure of what to do. “Sir…”“Ignore her,” Adrian interjected in an indifferent tone. “Just get me the ring. Whatever the price is, I’ll pay.”The saleslady nodded and was about to take another step forward when Evelyn dragged her back by the collar. You dare ignore me?!” Evelyn hissed with her hands raised in a bid to slap the lady, but Adrian quickly intercepted the hit by catching her wrist mid-air.He flung it back to her side, and gave her a hard stare. “Don’t lay your hand on her again. You have no right to.”The last shred of control in Henry snapped and he lunged at Adrian, grabbing him by the collar.“How dare you lay your filthy hands on my girlfriend!” He spat, his eyes shooting lasers at Adrian’s face. “It seems you must be seeking death!”Adrian’s gaze flickered down to Henry’s hand fisting his collar, then back up to meet his glare. “You have exactly five seconds to get your
CHAPTER 292
Three days later…Anita was finally discharged from the hospital, and Adrian took her back to their house. There was another emotional reunion; this time between Anita and her father, Vincent, who had just returned from a spiritual center, where he had gone to pray for her speedy recovery. He wasn’t happy to see his daughter in a wheelchair, but was grateful she was alive nonetheless.Speaking of Anita’s condition, Adrian had tried to heal her back at the hospital, but his attempts had failed.He restlessly wondered why until Grandmaster Xu appeared to him in a dream-like trance and told him that his abilities would only work on Anita if she knew about them….and believed in them.Because to be healed, one had to believe.Therefore, Adrian came up with an elaborate plan to break the news to her.He would do it as part of the special birthday package he had organized for her. A package that included his proposal and the lavish engagement party he had promised her some weeks ago.Her a
