RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 212
There was a brief moment of silence as Lawrence’s demand hung in the air, but as it sank into Sir Edward’s mind he nodded without hesitation.“Yes, Mr. Smith, I can do that. Who do you need me to make vanish?”Lawrence’s eyes glinted maliciously as Adrian popped into his mind. “A lowlife named Adrian,” he gritted out, highlighting his hatred for Adrian. “I think his surname is Muller or something. He’s the bastard son of Robert Muller. I want him wiped off the surface of the earth.”Sir Edward involuntarily tensed, he didn’t know why the sound of the name made him unwilling and defensive. But it seemed something was restricting him from acting on his instincts, and he found himself succumbing to Lawrence’s demand despite the gnawing feeling at the deepest depths of his mind.“Consider it done, Mr. Smith,” Sir Edward yielded, his voice firm and laced with a promise. “I’ll have my men take care of it immediately. Adrian…Muller will be history in no time.”Lawrence reveled in his trium

Nathan shifted uncomfortably in his seat as Anita’s gaze bore into him. The raw confidence in her voice made him uneasy, but even more so, he was incredibly furious that things had turned out in her favour again.His hand on his knee clenched into a fist and his teeth gritted against each other at the realization that he had lost the CEO position yet again.“I hate how smug she looks right now,”Natalie muttered bitterly from beside him, her expression mirroring his. “How could Grandpa Lloyd change his mind so easily? Brother, we have to do something.”Natalie instantly began thinking on her feet as she said this, and a devious glint flashed through her eyes as an idea popped into her head immediately.“I got it,” she piped up and turned to her brother.Nathan glanced at her with curiosity. “What are you thinking?”She leaned forward in her seat and lowered her voice into a hushed whisper as she began. “I have a friend in college, who’s very good with tech stuff. I can enlist his help

Adrian’s eyes narrowed into slits as they flickered to the baton and back to the security guard. His voice dropped an octave as he warned, “You have five seconds to get that thing off my chest—”“Or what?” The security guard scoffed with a challenging smirk as he pressed the baton more firmly against Adrian’s chest. “What can you possibly do?”The corner of Adrian’s lips tugged upward into a faint smirk as he zeroed his eyes on the security guard's wrist, focusing solely on the pulse point there. Within the twinkle of an eye, Adrian jabbed his index finger into that spot with accurate precision.The security guard’s eyes bulged as a sharp, painful sensation shot through his wrist, and the baton slipped from his grip and landed on the floor with a clang. “What did you do to me?” he let out a strained gasp as he clutched his throbbing wrist. Adrian shrugged nonchalantly, his tone casual as though they were discussing the weather. “You asked what I could do. I simply showed you.”The s

“Okay, then,” Sebastian replied, his curiosity piquing. “May I ask what this other plan is? And is it foolproof?”“Yes, it’s foolproof,” Nathan confirmed. “The plan is to forge a compromising video of Anita with another man, then release it on the internet for everyone to see.”“Interesting…”Sebastian drawled, but then a smirk appeared in his lips as an idea formed in his head, and he lowered his voice. “But why forge a compromising video, when we can create a real one?”Nathan’s intrigue was kindled. “I don’t hate the sound of that,” the smile in his voice was evident. “So, what are you thinking?”“I think I’ll lure her into a hotel under the pretense of apologizing for our last encounter,” Sebastian began, his tone darkening. “Then, I’ll spike her wine to make her tipsy and record us in a… compromising position. That way, no one will claim it’s fake.” “Yes, absolutely,” Nathan chirped from the other end of the line, the earlier frustration and anger he felt now fading away. “That’l

Adrian smirked as he watched the terror spread across Sebastian and Nolan’s faces. He had to admit, intimidating them was fun, but he didn’t intend to take it any further.He needed them as allies against Lawrence Smith, so he couldn’t touch them even if he wanted to. “Relax, you two,” he held up his hands with his palms facing outwards in a gesture of mock surrender. “I’m not going to hurt you. Although,” he tipped his head towards the security guards groaning in pain on the ground, “you really should have heeded my warning. Now, you have seven times as much medical bills to foot.”Sebastian and Nolan exchanged another round of uneasy, yet irked glances, and their lips twitched as if to respond, but Adrian cut them off.“Anyways, let’s get down to the reason I came here. I—”His words were interrupted by the feeling of his phone vibrating in his pocket. “Excuse me,” he raised a finger to them as he pulled out his phone and walked a few feet away to answer the call.He swiped the ph

“Ma’am, someone brought these flowers for you,” Anita’s secretary announced as she walked in after being given the permission to. Her steps were unsteady as she carried a large bouquet so massive that it blocked her entire face. Anita’s brows furrowed, her gaze following her secretary as she placed the flowers on one side of her desk. She had to admit that the flowers were beautiful, but a sense of wariness and curiosity overshadowed her admiration. “And who sent them?”“I don’t know ma’am,” The secretary shook her head. “But I think it came with a note.”“Alright thank you, you may go now,” Anita dismissed her secretary, who gave a curt bow before walking out the door.Her eyes narrowed as she stood up from her executive chair and cautiously walked towards the bouquet. As her hands hovered over the bouquet, she couldn’t help but wonder, “Could Adrian have sent it?” and a faint blush crept up her cheeks at the thought. She spotted a white envelope nestled between the petals and her

Drops of sweat trickled down Pemberly’s forehead as all the color drained from his face. His eyes darted between Adrian and the tablet, and an involuntary tremor ran down his spine.He knew if Adrian looked at the footage, he was toast. And he racked his brain for how to get out of the situation, but came up with nothing. He hung his head low, refusing to meet Adrian’s gaze as it became clear to him that there was no way out.“I’ll take your silence as a yes then,” Adrian shrugged, and with a shark kick to Pemberly’s chair, he startled him upright. “No shying away,” Adrian smirked menacingly. “If you’re innocent, then there’s absolutely nothing to worry about.” With that, he moved to Pemberly’s side, and extended the tablet so it was right in front of his face as he hit the play button. Pemberly’s eyes grew larger the more he watched the footage of himself slipping something into Sir Edward’s coffee the previous night before serving it to him.Adrian had to clench his fist to preven

Blaze stepped into the cafe where Adrian had asked to meet with him, and his gaze swept over the simple, but elegant interior of the cafe. When he spotted Adrian seating in a booth at the furthest corner from the entrance, he walked towards him.As he got closer, he noticed that Adrian’s forehead was scrunched, his lips pressed in a firm line, and his shoulders hunched over as he stirred his untouched iced latte with a spoon. Blaze’s brows furrowed in concern as he reached the booth. “I’m here, master” he announced in a low voice as he slid his large frame into the seat across from Adrian.Adrian hadn’t yet noticed Blaze’s presence as he kept stirring his iced latte absentmindedly, his gaze fixated on the swirly pattern his spoon made on the coffee.It wasn’t until Blaze cleared his throat, that Adrian’s attention returned to reality. He blinked and glanced up from his latte to see the buzz cut haired, burly man sitting across from him with a worried expression.“Master, you look tro

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
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
