RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 221
“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

The waiter hesitated as he glanced nervously between Adrian and Sebastian, unsure of whether he should actually speak or not.Sebastian’s jaw clenched as his gaze flickered warningly towards the waiter. And the look in Sebastian’s eyes made the waiter wary, but his fear for Sebastian paled in comparison to the fear he had for Adrian.Hence why Adrian’s scorching glare made the words tumble out of his mouth instantly. “M-Mr. Palmer had me slip some aphrodisiac pills into Mrs. Anita’s champagne.” “Are you still going to deny your schemes?” Adrian gritted as he turned his attention to Sebastian and threw the tiny camera on the floor, smashing it beneath his foot. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t break every bone in your body for what you did?”Sebastian pressed his lips together tightly, his demeanor defiant and unremorseful. The only thing he felt was anger. Anger that he got caught before he could fulfill his aim with Anita.Anger that a nobody like Adrian was challenging an

Sebastian wasted no time in taking out his phone at Adrian’s command. His hands trembled as he dialed the number of his company’s news publication’s manager, occasionally stealing nervous glances at Adrian.As soon as the manager picked up, Sebastian began spewing out orders. “Remove every single news about Anita Davies from the platform immediately.”The manager on the other end, was confused. “But Mr. Palmer—” he tried to protest.But Sebastian, being in a tight spot, snapped, cutting him off. “Do it within five minutes, or you’re fired!” His voice came out more frantic than harsh.The call ended soon after, and as Sebastian stared at his phone, he felt Adrian’s scorching gaze on him. The pressure became intense and he fidgeted with his fingers while struggling to keep his composure as he waited for a confirmation from the manager. He nearly jumped in shock as his phone suddenly buzzed in his hands. Fumbling to check the screen, he saw the confirmation message he had been waiting

Adrian woke up in the morning with a smile on his face as he recalled what had happened between him and Anita the night before.He hadn’t expected to get that close to Anita so soon, but he’d be lying if he said it wasn’t a mind blowing experience.Just as he was relishing the memories, his phone rang on the bedside table. And he sighed before reaching for it. “Blaze? To what do I owe a call this early in the morning?” He asked, his voice a bit raspy as he wiped away the remaining traces of sleep from his eyes.“I’m sorry, master. I didn’t mean to disturb you,” Blaze apologized. “I just wanted to inform you that Grandmaster Xu’s descendant will be landing in Wibston today,”“Oh yeah,” Adrian groaned as he slapped his forehead. “I had totally forgotten about that. I was carried away with the events of last night.”“I totally understand, master,”Blaze said, then paused as though he himself recalled something. “Speaking of last night, were you able to find your wife? I apologize for n

Some minutes before Nathan had called Anita, he was pacing around in his room with his phone in his hands as he dialed Sebastian’s number for the millionth time that morning. His heart pounded and he couldn’t help the unease that gnawed at the back of his mind as the call went to voicemail like the previous times he tried. “Damnit, Sebastian!” Nathan cursed as he kicked the wall in his room. “Why aren’t you picking your calls?” His eyes were frantic as he wondered if the plan was successful or if it had gone wrong. Was Sebastian even safe? Just then, his phone buzzed in his hands, snapping him out of his thoughts. He quickly glanced at the screen, expecting it to be Sebastian, but his expression fell when he saw that it was his sister, Natalie. His forehead creased into a frown. Why was she calling him? She had just left the house barely an hour ago. “Natalie? Why are you calling?” He asked as soon as he answered the call. “Nathan,” Natalie’s voice rang out a bit too

Adrian pulled up into the premises of the Davies group, and Anita unstrapped her seat belt as she turned to him with a grateful smile. “Thanks for offering to drop me off, Adrian. I’ll pick up my car from Casablanca once I’m done for the day.”Adrian nodded, then offered, “I can help you bring it here if you want? So you won’t have to go all the way there after a hectic day at work.”Anita shook her head. “No, it’s fine. I don’t mind picking it up myself. You don’t have to do everything for me, you know?”“I know, but I like doing things for you,” Adrian replied with a shrug, his tone filled with sincerity.Anita’s heart warmed and she fought back the heat that began to creep up her cheeks. “And I appreciate it,” her words were genuine as she softly brushed his arm. “But just sit this one out. It’s my car afterall.”“Okay,” Adrian mumbled, giving in. “If you insist.” “I do,” she gave his arm a final squeeze before retrieving her hand and opening the car door. “See you later.”She w

Tristan and Natalie remained in the car due to the intense apprehension they felt, but after a few moments of stalling, they mustered up courage and finally stepped out.Natalie clutched onto Tristan’s arm to support her unsteady legs as they cautiously approached the burly man guarding the entrance.“H-hi, uhm…we’re here to p-pick up an inmate. Please,” Tristan managed to stumble out the words, though his heart remained in his mouth.The officer didn’t respond at first as his gaze remained straight ahead. Then slowly, as though their presence just registered, he turned to them.His expression was stone-cold as he gave them a once over. “And who are you?” He demanded bluntly. “Haven’t you been told? No inmate ever leaves Hades?”Tristan forced down the tremor crawling into his voice. “I…I…we actually have permission. The Chief Warden is a…friend, and he agreed to release one of the inmates for us.”The officer stared blankly at Tristan, and the intensity of his stare made the young ma

It took a few moments for Adrian’s words to sink into Robert and Liam’s minds, and when they did, their expressions shifted from regret to pure panic.Robert instantly jerked into action as he crawled over to Adrian, and clung onto his leg like someone holding on for dear life. “Please, don’t do that to us,” he choked out. “My company is my life. It’s all my father left me. If it gets destroyed, I’ll be completely finished!”“Young master, I beg you to tamper justice with mercy!” Liam added with equal desperation, though he remained in the same spot. He wasn’t as bold as his father to approach Adrian. “If we’re cancelled, our lives will be completely over!”Adrian shook Robert’s hand off the hem of his designer slacks like it was a piece of filth. “That’s the whole point,” he said with cold venom. “I want your lives to be over. I want you to suffer every bit of the pain and turmoil you put my mother and me through. Do you remember the night you chased us out of your house?”Rober

Adrian pushed his chair back and properly relaxed into it, then he entwined his fingers as he arched a brow at the two astounded men. “Yes, me. Surprise!”Robert and Liam still had their jaws to the floor and their brows lost in their hairlines as they struggled to believe what they were seeing.Rhea stood off to the side, and even though her expression and posture seemed controlled on the outside, within her she was doubling over in laughter.And it took every ounce of strength not to let it show.Robert blinked once. Then again, and again. He even furiously rubbed his eyes to ensure he wasn’t hallucinating.Liam’s face had drained of all color and he just gawked at Adrian as though he were in a daze.Adrian watched them with quiet amusement and made no attempt to snap them out of their reverie. He was clearly enjoying the comical sight.It took a few more seconds before Robert shook his head, finally managing to regain his composure. But Liam was yet to find his own, which now seem
CHAPTER 282
A slow smile grew on Tristan’s lips after a brief moment of silence. “It’s good news,” he announced proudly. “My dad’s cousin was just made the Chief Warden of Hades. My dad’s talking to him as we speak. Your brother will be out of there in no time.Natalie’s anxiety was instantly replaced with relief as her shoulders sagged. “Oh thank God,” she placed her hand on her chest. “I almost passed out from the anxiety.”Then her expression shifted to one of gratitude. “Thank you so much, babe.I really appreciate it.”“It’s nothing,” Tristan brushed her off. “You know I’ll do anything for you.”Natalie nodded shyly and a faint blush stained her cheeks. Barely a second later, Tristan’s phone beeped. He checked it to see a text message notification from his father, giving him a positive feedback.“That was my father,” he explained when he saw Natalie’s curious gaze. “His cousin has agreed to help us. We’re expected at Hades Prison first thing tomorrow to pick up your brother.”“Yay!” Nata
CHAPTER 281
Nathan’s eyes grew to the size of golf balls, and his body went rigid with fear as he gawked between Adrian and the lead soldier, who looked ready to inflict serious harm.And the lead soldier wasted no time in advancing towards him.Natalie instantly shot up from her seat beside Nathan’s bed. “Wait!” she cried as she stretched out her hand to stop the soldier from coming closer.But the scathing glare he threw her way shot a chill of fear up her spine, and before she knew it, her hand had dropped to her side.“Please, just listen to me,” She tried again in a more quiet voice, but the soldier shoved her aside without a second thought. She nearly stumbled, but quickly steadied herself by holding onto the wall nearby.The soldier reached Nathan’s bedside and Nathan shrunk back into the mattress as though that would somehow save him. His wide eyes frantically flashed to Adrian.“Don’t do this, I beg you!” He stammered in a trembling voice. “Tell him to stop! I’m sorry!”Adrian didn’t s

Adrian sighed and contemplated ignoring Nathan’s sister, Natalie, so he did.Without sparing her a glance, he pushed the door to Nathan’s ward open and stepped inside. Natalie’s mouth fell and her eyes narrowed into slits. “Hey! I’m talking to you!” She spat as she followed Adrian into the room.Adrian still ignored her, and his gaze was hot and unyielding as it fixated on Nathan.Nathan gulped hard when he saw Adrian, and the tension in the room grew heavy. He was almost tempted to shrink back on the bed, but he forced himself to muster up the courage to speak.“T-Thank you for coming, Adrian. I j-just—”“If you called me here to convince me to forgive you, you’re wasting your time,” Adrian cut in, his tone blunt and matter of fact. “You must suffer for what you did.”Nathan’s face paled, and he struggled to form words. If he could feel his legs, he would have rushed to Adrian and fallen at his feet, but unfortunately for him, that wasn’t possible.“I…I…please—”“Nathan, what do y
CHAPTER 279
After a few more hours of catching up with his father, Adrian pulled out of the middle aged man’s manor and headed towards the hospital to check up on Anita.As he drove, his mind wandered to the Mullers, and a slow smirk teased his lips.They’d have found out about their bankruptcy by now. He could almost picture their reactions; shock, anger, devastation, confusion, despair, desperation. And the thought only made his smirk widen.An idea formed in his mind at that moment and without hesitation, he picked up his phone from the console and dialed Rhea Smith, the vice president of the Alpha group’s number.Rhea answered on the first ring. “Hello, Young Master.”“Rhea, I need you to do something for me,” Adrian began with one hand maneuvering the steering wheel.Without waiting for her response, he continued. “Robert Muller will likely be coming to the Alpha group tomorrow. I suspect it’ll be in the morning. Ensure he’s let in. I’ll be there to meet him.”“O…Kay,” Rhea replied, though
CHAPTER 278
“Dad!”“Honey!”Robert’s family members shouted at once. Tatiana and Tiffany’s eyes went wide as they rushed to his unconscious body. Liam moved slower due to his mobility limitations, but his face was etched with worry. Tatiana and Tiffany crouched on either side of Robert and began shaking him frantically.“Dad, wake up!” Tiffany cried, her voice cracking as she gripped his shoulders.“Get him water!” Tatiana yelled, and Liam immediately grabbed a cup of water from the dining table and handed it to her without a word.Tatiana sprinkled some water from the cup on Robert’s face, while Tiffany kept shaking him.“Come on, Dad, open your eyes!” She pleaded with a look of desperation on her face. Slowly, Robert’s eyelids fluttered, though his eyes remained closed. And Tatiana didn’t stop sprinkling the water on his face until his eyes finally opened.“Oh thank goodness,” Tatiana and Tiffany both breathed in relief as Robert coughed weakly.Then Tiffany helped him upright, while Tatiana
CHAPTER 277
For what felt like the umpteenth time that day, Sir Edward’s expression morphed into one of shock. “Her own family did that to her?” He spat and fell back into his chair with an indignant sigh. “What’s going on in the world today? I hope that criminal is rotting in prison now?” “Not yet,” Adrian’s voice was grim. “I beat him to a pulp, and he fainted, so he’s been admitted to our hospital. But the minute he wakes up, he’ll face the full brunt of my justice.”Sir Edward shook his head, still reeling from the information. “What would have caused him to act so cruelly towards his relative?”“Power,” Adrian replied simply. “He was so hungry for his grandfather’s inheritance that he was willing to do anything to get it. Even when he didn’t deserve it.”“Ahh,” a glint of understanding flashed in Sir Edward’s eyes. “I see. Of course it’s power. It always is. It turns people into monsters, and not everyone should be allowed to handle it.”Adrian nodded in agreement with his father, and anot
