RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 168
Anita had a giddy smile on her face as she drove into the driveway of her grandfather’s mansion. As soon as he pulled over to a stop at an open parking spot, she grabbed her contract and stepped out of her car, eager to give Grandpa Lloyd the good news. She walked past Nathan’s grey Mustang, but thought nothing of it as she headed into the mansion. On getting inside the living room, she was greeted with the sight of Nathan seated with Grandpa Lloyd and Grandma Esther, each person wearing a wide grin on their face. Her brows piqued with interest as she cleared her throat to make her presence known. The laughter died down as the three individuals simultaneously turned to her. Nathan’s expression was a smirk, Grandpa Lloyd’s expression was neutral, while Grandma Esther let out a tight lipped smile. “Anita, long time no see,” she called out. “What brings you here?” The smirk that had been threatening to come out on Nathan’s face finally surfaced as his eyes darted between Anita

Ethan and Liam were celebrating their win against Adrian when the doorbell of Liam’s penthouse suite rung.Their celebration was cut short as they both exchanged questioning glances. “Are you expecting anyone?” Ethan asked Liam as he kept his glass down on the table.Liam frowned for a bit as he tried to remember if he was expecting anyone, but he came up short. Just as Liam stood up to check who was at the door, Ethan’s phone rang, and it was Blaze who was calling.Ethan swiped across his phone to answer the call, and brought it to his ear. “Boss, the mission has been completed successfully,” Blaze’s voice rang through the other side. “That guy Adrian is history. Please tell Mr. Liam to open up his door, I’m the one pressing the doorbell.”Ethan’s lips stretched into a satisfied grin as Blaze relayed the good news to him. He hung up the call, and turned to Liam, who still stood in the middle of his living room, contemplating if he should open the door or not. “It’s Blaze. You can

By the time Ethan and Liam woke up again, they found themselves tied up to two pillars that faced each other. Ethan struggled against the sturdy rope that was used to tie his hands behind the pillar as a wave of panic washed over him like a torrent.“Hey! What is going on, Blaze!” He yelled out as he continued struggling against his restraints. He winced as the ropes dug further into his wrist, alighting cutting through the skin.“How dare you betray me!” He continued yelling. “Have you forgotten who my family is? So you want to die?!”Liam’s head was hung low, but he raised it up at the sound of Ethan’s angry voice, and his eyes sparked with anger towards Blaze.“Release us now, Blaze! Or I’ll make sure your life is a living hell in the city as soon as I get out of here!”“Shut the hell up!” A voice suddenly thundered, making the remaining of Ethan and Liam’s words to die in their throats. One of Blaze’s martial arts brothers, suddenly appeared in between Ethan and Liam, his eyes d

“Aargh!” Ethan screamed at the top of his voice as he felt his shoulder bones shatter. The intensity of the pain made him tremble involuntarily and before he could control his bladder, it let loose, and a foul stench permeated the air.Adrian grimaced as the nauseating stench of urine wafted through his nostrils, and the disgust he felt made him apply more pressure into the already broken spot in Ethan’s shoulder that his fingers were jabbed into.The sound of bones cracking could be heard as Ethan let out another scream, this one sounding extremely strangled and raw. “It hurts! It hurts! Make it stop!” He cried out, his voice cracking with intense pain.Adrian could feel the waves of pain that surged from Ethan’s shoulder down to his toes. If he wanted to, he could easily press the right points to stop the pain, but he wouldn’t do that. The main point was for Ethan to suffer the pain.“You’ve peed yourself and I haven’t even gotten started,” Adrian scolded, his voice neutral. “You’re

Liam gulped loudly, his eyes darting everywhere but at Adrian. The underlying darkness in Adrian’s words was enough for terror to crawl down his spine.Taking a deep breath to momentarily nullify the pain shooting up his ribs, he responded, still refusing to meet Adrian’s gaze.“I promise to stay out of your way from now on,” Liam said, his voice sounding sincere, but Adrian knew better than to believe him.He just hoped that for his sake, he was actually being truthful, otherwise he would face the consequences, and boy, would they be dire.“Please forgive me,” Liam added, his face now paling considerably due to the amount of pain he was feeling.Adrian ignored his plea for forgiveness, and instead, walked away from him and towards Blaze, who stood with both an amazed and slightly apprehensive expression.He bowed respectfully as soon as Adrian reached him. “Kindly take the two men to the hospital and ensure they are properly treated,” Adrian instructed in an authoritative voice, and

Regina scoffed at Adrian’s promise while Anita remained silent, her expression still filled with uncertainty. Adrian knew that at this point, his actions would speak louder than his words, so he pulled out his phone and sent a text to the bodyguard that had informed him about Nathan and the dispatch rider.He instructed the bodyguard to go ahead with the plan of tracking the dispatch rider and forcing a confession out of him. The bodyguard replied with a positive response a few seconds after Adrian sent the text, and Adrian’s gaze became more confident as he kept his phone back into his pocket.He looked back at Regina and Anita, and seeing that their gazes were still on him, he began explaining, “I just texted an acquaintance of mine who is good at tracking down people, and he has agreed to help me track down the dispatch rider using his plate number. We’ll be getting a positive response very soon.”Regina's expression didn’t deter one bit as she still remained skeptical. “Until I

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and Adrian, Anita, and Regina wasted no time in getting ready and heading over to Grandpa Lloyd’s mansion.While they were in the car, Regina who had been bobbing her knees impatiently for a while, blurted out as she couldn’t hold in her question any longer.“Hey you,” she called out to Adrian without bothering to acknowledge him by his name. “Was your friend able to get a confession out of that dispatch rider?” Adrian, who was driving, met her gaze through the rearview mirror, and shook his head, but the corner of his mouth twitched mischievously as he decided to rile Regina up.“No, he wasn’t able to get any confession out of the dispatch rider.” Adrian replied, his expression feigning somberness.Anita turned to him, her brows raised as if to ask him why he was withholding the truth from her mother. Adrian threw a playful wink at her, before his expression turned serious again.Regina scoffed on her seat, her expression hardening into o

The family members joined in on Nathan’s mockery as they erupted in a round of applause accompanied with jeering laughs and whistles. Regina’s face reddened in embarrassment as she clenched her fists by her side to control herself from exploding in anger. Anita shifted on her feet, her brave demeanor wavering slightly as her discomfort and irritation towards the family members' blatant mockery grew by the second. She wished time would just fly by so the tables could turn on Nathan. She wanted nothing more than to wipe the smugness off his face. Nathan's expression was brighter than it had ever been and he almost jumped up in excitement at how everything was turning out in his favor. He couldn’t wait till his grandfather announced him as the golden grandchild so he could garner more admiration from the family members. Natalie and her boyfriend Tristan Yates were also present at the party and when they saw how much humiliation Anita and her people were getting, they were f

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
CHAPTER 298
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
CHAPTER 296
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
CHAPTER 293
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
