RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 222
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

Xavier Palmer’s gaze snapped to Nolan’s direction when he heard his son’s words, and his brows furrowed as he saw him approaching with a silver haired man he didn’t recognize. He glanced back at Adrian and withdrew his hand before he completed their handshake, then turned towards Nolan again. “What do you mean by ‘more beneficial to us,’ son? Who is he?” He asked as his eyes flickered curiously to Lawrence.Lawrence didn’t wait for Nolan to introduce him as he took a step closer towards Xavier, deliberately brushing against Adrian’s shoulder as he walked past.Adrian’s jaw tightened, and his fists trembled with the need to bash the smirk off Lawrence’s face, but he held himself back.Not yet. There will be plenty of time to do that during the duel. Lawrence plastered on a wide, charming smile as he extended a hand to Xavier Palmer. “This will be our first time meeting, Mr Palmer. My name is Lawrence Smith, a friend of your son, and an aspiring candidate for the imperial circle’s lea

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

“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

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

Sir Edward’s expression shifted to one of curiosity at Adrian’s declaration. “You have? If it’s the arrest I saw on TV—”“No,” Adrian shook his head in interjection. “It’s not the arrest. It’s a more…befitting punishment.”Sir Edward’s brows furrowed, and he looked like he wanted to say something, but Adrian wasn’t done yet.He took a deep breath and leaned forward on the table. “There’s something you need to know, Dad.” Sir Edward’s expression turned serious, and he nodded for Adrian to go ahead. “I’m listening.”Adrian’s jaw clenched as the events from the previous night flooded his mind. “Lawrence Smith had his lackey shoot me, and I basically…died.”Sir Edward’s frown deepened, and he eyed Adrian skeptically. “Died? What are you talking about, son?”“I was shot in the heart,” Adrian elaborated in a blank voice. “And I was clinically dead for a few hours. While I was in the state between life and death, I encountered Grandmaster Xu.”“Grandmaster Xu?” Sir Edward’s eyes widened. “A

Adrian stepped out of the warehouse after concluding on his decision regarding Lawrence Smith and Kai. His gaze instantly found the lead soldier standing next to their armored vehicle and he beckoned him over with a motion of his finger. “Take those men in there and dispose them in Hades prison,” he ordered in a tone of finality as the soldier came close. “Instruct the warden to ensure they receive the hardest labor possible. And under no circumstance, should they be let out. Ever.”The lead soldier nodded. “Rest assured, young master. I’ll ensure the warden understands your orders.”“Good,” Adrian gave him a curt nod before placing his hands in his pocket and striding over to his Lamborghini urus, which he had taken out from his luxury car collection after Nathan ruined his Audi with the stench of his urine.Just as Adrian was about to enter his car, Jonah who had been heading towards his own car, remembered what he had recorded between Robert and Liam Muller, and he quickly made

Lawrence’s breath hitched, and his face turned ashen as Adrian’s words sunk in. “R-Russian Roulette?”“Yeah,” Adrian muttered plainly. “I’m sure you must be familiar with the game.”Lawrence’s eyes watered, and his usually styled-to-perfection silver hair clung to his sweaty forehead in a disheveled mess.“What kind of game is this. Are you trying to kill me?!” He stuttered, his voice heavy with dreadful panic.“Maybe. Maybe not,” Adrian shrugged as he nonchalantly, yet skillfully, loaded the black bullet into one of the chambers of the revolver. Then, he spun the cylinder to shuffle the position of the bullet, and pointed the gun at Lawrence’s head. “Let’s find out.”With that, he pulled the trigger.Lawrence froze, his heart nearly stopping, and his eyes instinctively squeezing shut as he heard the ‘click’ sound of the trigger.Luckily for him, the chamber with the bullet wasn’t aligned with the revolver’s barrel, so the bullet didn’t fire.When Lawrence realized he was still alive
CHAPTER 273
Kai looked like he wanted to lash back, but the electrifying sting coming from his knee prevented him from gathering his thought process.Still, he was relentless. And when he finally managed to piece a couple of sentences together, his voice came out hoarse but defiant. “I’d rather die than beg you.”Adrian’s head tilted slightly and his eyes sparkled dangerously. “We’ll see about that.”Kai’s defiant glare never withered. “You just wait till I get back on my feet. I swear, I’ll destroy you!”Adrian raised a condescending brow. “Oh really? You’ll destroy me? With what hand?”Before Kai could grasp the meaning behind Adrian’s words, Adrian shot his palm outward with lightning speed.And with brutal force, he connected it with Kai’s left arm.The next thing that happened sent a shockwave of horror through the spines of everyone present.A crack resounded as Kai’s arm got dislocated from its ball-and-socket joint, and twisted almost all the way around. But Adrian didn’t allow the pain
CHAPTER 272
Lawrence and Kai exchanged a glance and a look of panic and confusion passed between them.Adrian noticed this and his smirk widened. “You must be wondering why and how I’m here, right?,” his eyes glinted with amusement and a hint of mischief as he stared between the two men. “But if I tell you now…that would spoil all the fun.”Kai stayed quiet and a bead of sweat formed above his furrowed brows, not just from the pain in his knee, but from the utter confusion swirling in his mind.Lawrence, on the other hand, was furious. His eyes flickered wildly and his face reddened as he frantically grunted, trying to get the tape off his mouth.His attempts were futile, until Adrian finally put him out of his misery by ripping the tape off in a single motion.The loud tear from the tape sounded through the air and Lawrence winced as a couple of his mustache hairs came off with it.“Damn you!” He spat at Adrian the moment his mouth was free. “What kind of stupid joke is this? How dare you brin
