RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 216
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

Anita instinctively retrieved her hand from the table, and placed it on her lap away from Sebastian’s sight. “I don’t see how it’s any of your business,” she defended, her tone calm, but sharp. What my husband is able…or not able to do concerns me alone.”Sebastian raised his hands up in mock surrender. “Alright, no need to get all fiesty. I was just curious.”Anita rolled her eyes, but didn’t dwell on the issue anymore as she changed the subject. “Let’s just get straight to the point,” she leaned forward as her demeanor became more professional. “I know the news subsidiary of your company is behind those rumors against me. Kindly ask them to take it down or I’ll sue for defamation of character.”Sebastian found Anita’s threat amusing, and he leaned back in his seat, smirking coyly. “There will be no need for all that. I’ll take it down as you said. I just did it to get your attention,” he winked, “and it worked.”Anita’s hands clenched into fists under the table, and she narrowed

“What?” The confusion in Adrian’s voice was evident. “Did you just say you saw my wife being carried away by Sebastian Palmer?”“Yes, young master,” Blaze replied, but his voice didn’t sound so confident. “I’m not a hundred percent sure. I might be wrong. I just thought I should inform you, just in case.”A sigh was heard on the other end before Adrian’s voice came through. “Thank you for letting me know, Blaze. I’ll look into it now. Goodbye.”Adrian hung up the call as soon as he dismissed Blaze, and a nagging feeling of unease simmered in his gut as he called one of Anita’s bodyguards. “Young master—”“Where is my wife right now?” Adrian’s sharp question cut the bodyguard off before he could finish his sentence.“Uhh…” the bodyguard hesitated and Adrian could hear the sound of shuffling in the background.“Don’t test my patience,” Adrian gritted out. “Where. Is. My. Wife?”“Y-young master, we…we’re deeply sorry,” the bodyguard began, his voice shaky with fear. “My colleague and

The manager’s frown deepened. “Your wife?” He repeated. “Why would you come looking for your wife here? Is she missing or something?”“I’m not completely sure, but I have reasons to believe she might be missing,” Adrian responded, his voice calm yet tinged with worry. “Her car is still parked in the parking lot.”“That’s strange,” The managers brows rose a bit, then he turned to the waiter. “Was the lady in question on our list of customers for today?”The waiter hesitated, his mind racing with unease because the manager was actually giving a listening ear to Adrian. He could feel Adrian’s gaze boring into him, and when the manager gave him an impatient glare, he nodded reluctantly. “Y-yes, she’s on the list.”“Then why didn’t you help this young man out immediately?” He chided in a sharp tone. “If her name is on our list, and her car is still parked in our premises, that makes her our responsibility. Is this how you disregard the image of our restaurant? Making people think we don

As soon as Adrian reached his car, he opened the passenger door and shoved the trembling waiter inside, slamming it shut before going round to the driver’s side.“L-let me go! This is kidnapping!” The waiter protested as he tried to unlock the door. Unfortunately for him, Adrian had already activated the safety lock.When he realized this, he frantically thrashed around in his seat, the car seat feeling like a million needles poking his buttocks.Adrian slammed his hand on the steering wheel, the sound stopping the waiter’s tantrum. “You’re walking on thin ice, buddy. Don’t test me any further or you’ll regret it.”The waiter instantly froze at the obvious threat in Adrian’s voice and he swallowed hard as he became aware of the potential danger he was in.“Now,” Adrian continued as he started the ignition and began pulling out of the restaurant’s premises, “you’re going to tell me the truth about Sebastian Palmer’s plan. If you lie, even once, I’ll make sure you pay dearly for it.”Th

Adrian was lying shirtless and motionless on the operating table, his eyes were shut tightly, his skin extremely pale and clammy, and his lips had a slight blue tinge to them.His chest was still, and a tube connected to a ventilator was passed through his nose to help him breathe properly.The surgical team had also cleaned the blood that poured from his chest, but it was still bleeding, and it became a serious cause for concern.Doctor Arnold was momentarily frozen when he saw Adrian, and he had to blink severally to make sure he wasn’t imagining things. Never would he have expected that the patient he was treating was his boss, who had left the hospital completely fine just a few hours ago.His shock finally wore off and he sprang into action.For the next approximately five hours, Doctor Arnold and his team of surgeons performed an open heart surgery on Adrian to remove the bullet.Just as they were rounding up with the surgery, something happened.Adrian’s heart rate visibly inc
CHAPTER 254
Adrian’s eyes widened as it dawned on him that a bullet had struck him, and he stumbled backwards from the scorching pain that shot up his chest. He clutched his heart and felt the warm liquid seeping through his hands. When he looked down, he saw that the crimson color was quickly spreading throughout his chest and dripping down his hands at an even faster rate.He turned towards the direction the bullet came from to see if he’d spot anyone, but no one was there. The streets were empty and quiet, save for the noise from the bikers.Kai had seen Adrian turning, so he quickly turned around and pressed himself to the wall to properly blend with it. A cruel smirk appeared on his face as he replayed what he had done. He raised the gun to his line of sight and stared at it with a hint of fascination in his eyes.“Finally,” he whispered maliciously. “It’s done.”With that, he risked another peek at Adrian and saw that he was no longer looking towards his direction.He quickly tucked his
CHAPTER 253
Finally calling it a night, Adrian left the bar with Ashley walking beside him. He had decided to escort her to where her car was parked before going on his own way.The moment they were about to cross to the other side of the road, the loud roaring engines of motorcycles echoed in the air.They both looked to see a good number of motorcycles heading towards them, and in a split second they were surrounded.The hairs at the back of Ashley’s neck prickled her skin and she subconsciously held onto Adrian’s arm.“Adrian, what’s happening?” She whisper in hushed urgency as her eyes frantically darted around the motorcycles that circled them. “Do you know these people?”Adrian followed her line of sight as he too searched the faces of the men on the Harley Davidson motorcycles.His brows furrowed as he couldn’t recognize any of them. That was until the person who looked to be the leader stepped out and revealed the person cowering behind him.It was the man from earlier, the one who had ch
CHAPTER 252
A sliver of unease began to flicker within the man as Adrian said the words he had been dreading to hear.He lost the bet.The punishments.His eyes frantically darted around as though searching for someone to help him out of the situation, but no one seemed to be on his side.“If I could remember clearly,” Adrian continued, his lips tugging into a smirk as he saw the panic that began to appear on the man’s face. “You said the loser of the bet would have to grovel before the winner and lick the shoes of everyone here. So what are you waiting for? Begin already.”“Yeah,” the patrons echoed in unison and began chanting. “Do the bet! Do the bet!”The man internally shook his head. There was no way he’d lick the shoes of everyone at the bar. He had only agreed to the punishment because he thought it would be Adrian doing it.“I have to escape,”‘the man muttered internally. His eyes darted around again, this time searching for the exit. When he spotted it, his body barked into motion as
CHAPTER 251
Adrian grimaced as he perceived the foul stench that emanated from the man’s vomit. He instantly took off the shirt, and luckily, he was wearing an undershirt underneath which hadn’t been hit by the vomit. He used the clean sides of his shirt to wipe the bits of biking off his face and then threw it to the floor.At this time, the minor tipsiness in his eyes had already cleared off and he could think clearly again, so his movements weren’t slowed down.His gaze shifted to the man and he stifled a laugh as he saw the drama the man was displaying.First, he had taken off his clothes, and was sweating profusely while repeatedly murmuring, “Too hot,” under his breath.Secondly, he fell off his seat and was instead rolling on the floor as he writhed like someone in pain.Some people who found the scene incredibly funny pulled out their devices and began to record.While the other patrons were more empathetic, and filled with pity for the poor man.They turned their gazes to Adrian, expect
CHAPTER 250
Everyone watched with undivided attention as the man climbed down the chair and made his way to the bar.Once he reached the counter, he tapped it a few times to get the bartender’s attention. The bartender, who had been busy mixing a couple of drinks, looked up and raised a brow in inquisitiveness.“What can I get for you, sir?” He asked politely.“Ten shots of Devil Springs mixed with Everclear, please,” the man replied loud enough for everybody to hear.And gasps erupted from the patrons.Devilsprings was known to be one of the strongest alcoholic vodkas ever made, and wasn’t for the faint-hearted. It was already dangerous enough, but when mixed with Everclear, drinking it could be said to be almost suicidal.Ashley also gasped beside Adrian and looked at him, eyes wide in alarm. “Adrian, that man is completely out of his mind!” She whisper-yelled, and panic seeped through her voice. “Devilsprings is not something to be trifled with. I even know someone who had died from drinking
CHAPTER 249
The man’s eyes flashed with annoyance, but then he masked it with a challenging smirk. “You can’t tell me what I can or cannot do,” he scoffed as he gave Adrian a disdainful once over. “You’re just a loser.”Adrian shrugged as though the words merely bounced off his shoulders. “Call me whatever you want, but don’t dare bother my girlfriend again.”The man folded his bulky arms across his chest and the smirk on his lips widened aa he openly checked Ashley out, disregarding Adrian’s words.Ashley’s grip around Adrian’s arm tightened and she shifted on her feet as the man’s lustful stare sent bad shivers down her spine. “Pretty lady, I have a proposal for you,” the man spoke up again, after he was done gawking at Ashley shamelessly. He rubbed his lips while licking them as he continued.“Ditch this loser boyfriend of yours, and come to me. I’ll give you whatever you wabt and turn your life around.”Ashley rolled her eyes at the cockiness in the man’s tone, and her gaze met his squarely.
CHAPTER 248
Adrian sat a bit more upright on the sofa as he glanced up, his gaze steadily meeting Regina’s. “I’ve not done that yet. He’s fainted, so he’s been revived. I’ll take him to prison once that happens.”Regina huffed and crossed her arms. “Him being the culprit, doesn’t make you innocent,” she muttered bluntly.“You still had a role to play in what happened to Anita, because you aren’t rich enough to protect her. I still stand by my earlier statement. You don’t deserve to be near my daughter, so leave.”Adrian’s eyes flashed with fury and disbelief. He knew Regina had always been an unreasonable person, but this was just too much.“Are you serious right now?” He echoed in incredulity. “You’re still blaming me for Anita’s accident?”“Of course,” Regina shot back, her voice rising slightly. “If you weren’t so useless, then a brat like Nathan wouldn’t have been able to harm a single hair on her head. She’s better off without you, so just get out for crying out loud!”“No,” Adrian refused,
CHAPTER 247
Blaze hesitated for a moment before his voice finally sounded through the receiver. “If that’s what you want, master,” he conceded. “I know there’s definitely an important reason why you made this decision, and I hope whatever it is gets sorted in time.”“Thank you for understanding, Blaze,” Adrian responded with a firm nod. “I’ll talk to you later.”With that he hung up the phone and leaned back against the back rest of the couch, and his mind swirled with thoughts for a moment before exhaustion overtook him and his eyes drooped close.Meanwhile, on another side of Wibston, Lawrence Smith was having a fit of rage as he reeled from the aftermath of his defeat to Adrian.Kai, on the other hand, stood a few meters away from Lawrence, while clutching his side. Despite the pain traveling up his body, he barely registered it due to the anger swirling inside him. His fight with Adrian replayed over and over in his head and he couldn’t still believe Adrian had won the fight. But even more
