RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 230
Adrian had overheard Nolan’s request for Lawrence’s help, and initially he paid no mind to it, but seeing as Lawrence had agreed, he became curious to see how things would play out. Especially since he had given specific orders for Sebastian not to be released without his permission.He observed quietly as Lawrence placed a call to his supposed friend. “Hello, Chief Legal prosecutor Rashford,” Lawrence greeted the person on the other end with a smile. “I have a favour to ask you.”“Lawrence Smith, my good friend. Long time no see,” the chief prosecutor responded with equal familiarity. “Of course, tell me what favour I can do for you.”Lawrence’s expression gleamed with hope. Maybe the chief prosecutor will be able to help afterall.“So the thing is,” he began, lowering his voice slightly. “I have a friend whose brother was thrown into Hades Prison. Is there any—”“Hades Prison?!” Lawrence’s chief prosecutor friend echoed, his voice pitched with shock. “No, no, friend. I’m afraid I w
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 231
Murmurs and hushed whispers erupted from the crowd at Adrian’s declaration and everyone began to wonder what would have given him the courage to say such.Julian Xu’s brows furrowed as he sized Adrian up from the podium. Adrian was wearing a black, silk untucked shirt and black slacks with a pair of white air force ones, looking more casual and unassuming than any other person in the hall.Was he dreaming? Julian thought as he watched the young man approach the front of the podium.Adrian didn’t pay any mind to all the comments as he strode towards Julian, his head held high and his hands tucked into his pockets.Lawrence Smith, on the other hand, was seething as his irises flickered wildly at Adrian, while Xavier Palmer and Nolan were wide eyed with disbelief.Nolan was the first to break the silence as he turned to Lawrence. “Mr. Smith, you have to do something!” He blurted out. “You can’t possibly let that loser challenge your position!”“Yes, Lawrence,” Xavier added with a frown.

The air in the hall crackled with tension as the four men faced off with each other. Adrian and Blaze, Lawrence and Kai.Lawrence and Kai wore identical smug expressions as they undermined their opponents, while Adrian and Blaze wore unfazed, yet confident expressions.Lawrence, deciding to add more heat to the tension, turned to Kai with a cocky smirk. “Kai, what do you say we make things more interesting for our dear opponents?”Kai’s brows rose in intrigue and a sly smirk slowly crept up his lips as his gaze flickered to Adrian and Blaze, then back to Lawrence. “I think that’s a splendid idea, boss. Let’s spice this challenge up a bit.”“Perfect, then,”’Lawrence clapped and turned to face Adrian and Blaze, but his gaze was particularly trained on Adrian. “Why don’t we make a little bet?” He tilted his head challengingly.Adrian and Blaze exchanged glances with each other, and Blaze shrugged. “It’s entirely up to you, master. I’ll go ahead with whatever you decide.”Adrian nodded hi

“N-Nathan?” Anita’s jaw dropped in shock as she heard the voice of her cousin come in from the speaker. Her grip tightened on the steering wheel as her unease became stronger. “What’s happening? What did you do to my car?” “Oh, nothing much, just a little…rigging,” Nathan replied in a casual voice. “Isn’t it exciting to know that I can control your car from where I am? I can even..” He trailed off and before Anita could respond, the steering wheel jerked suddenly under her grasp and started moving on its own accord. “Nathan, stop!” She screamed in panic as she tried to regain control of the steering. “My car is swerving out of control! Why are you doing this?!” The mocking sound of laughter came from the speaker again, and slowly the steering wheel started working normally. “Oh you look so sacred, Anita. You should see your face right now.” Anita’s heart dropped to her stomach as her eyes darted around the car. Was he watching her? A shiver ran down her spine as she scanned for an

Nathan’s anxiety began to fade as his friend Malik methodically worked to cover up their tracks, ensuring no one would ever trace Anita’s accident back to him.Still, the memory of her terrified scream, and the sound of the crash replayed in his head like a broken record. His heart gnawed with extreme guilt, but then a dark sinister voice whispered in his head.“Cheer up, Nathan. It’s too late to cry over spilled milk. At least now you’d get back all you lost to her. You’ve won.”At the mention of him finally defeating Anita, every shred of guilt he felt vanished and was replaced with sadistic triumph, and a befitting smile slowly crept up his lips.“It’s all done, Nate,” Malik announced as he pushed back from the table, and reclined on his swivelling chair, both of his hands coming to rest at the back of his head.He looked up at Nathan’s relieved face and chuckled. “That was kind of scary, wasn’t it? Even I froze for a moment before my mind geared into action.”Nathan scratched the

“Could the duel be over?!” Julian boomed from his spot at the front stand of the arena. “The other guy seems not to be getting up. If he’s still down in the next twenty seconds, he’ll be declared the loser!”Blaze’s ears perked up in alarm at Julian’s announcement, and seeing as Adrian wasn’t going to get up on his own, he rushed to him without hesitation.With a precise strike of his fist against Kai’s spine, Blaze sent him stumbling away from Adrian.Taking advantage of Kai’s momentary disorientation, Blaze knelt beside Adrian and quickly placed an arm around his shoulder to support him. With some effort, he helped him up to his feet just before the final seconds elapsed. “Master, you need to fight the dark energy before it consumes you,” he advised, his tone filled with concern.Adrian wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and held onto Blaze’s arm for a moment longer to steady himself. “I’m trying,” he gritted, his face tightening as the dark energy wrapped around his hea

Kai didn’t bother to pay any attention to Adrian as he tightened his grip on Blaze’s neck. The color on Blaze’s face transformed from red to ashen, and it became obvious that Kai was infusing some of his dark energy into him.Adrian’s anger rolled off him in waves, and his body seemed to glow a little more as he crossed the distance to Blaze in the speed of light. Before Kai could process what was happening, Adrian retracted his palm and slammed it against Kai’s chest with enough force to send him flying across the ring and landing on the ground with a thundering crash.Blaze fell to the ground after Kai released him and he wheezed as he tried to catch his breath. The whole arena was silent at this point, as no one dared to utter a word, not even an intake of breath.Adrian walked up to Blaze and extended a hand towards him. “I’ll take it up from here, Blaze. You did well holding the fort for me.”Blaze looked up at Adrian, and his expression was filled with awe as he took in his gl

Adrian pushed the doors of the Life-mate hospital open, and headed straight for the intensive care unit without as much as an acknowledgment to the staff at the reception. He met Vincent, who had been out of Wibston on a trip, and Regina pacing in the waiting room of the intensive care unit and the panic and worry on their faces made his heart sink.The moment Regina saw him approaching, the panic on her face morphed into anger as she marched to him. And before he could say anything, her hand collided with his cheek in a slap that resounded through the waiting room.“What kind of husband are you?” She seethed, her irises flickering with rage. “Anita has been fighting for her life for the past one hour, and you dare to show up just now?!”Her voice rose a few notches as she grabbed the neckline of Adrian’s tee in her hands, completely disregarding the tiny patches of blood around it. “What were you doing that you couldn’t protect my daughter?” She spat again, her voice trembling with

Regina rushed towards Anita’s bed, her entire body bubbling with excitement. Without hesitation, she snatched her daughter’s hand from Adrian’s and pushed him away. Then she took his place by Anita’s side.Adrian said nothing as he quietly stood off to the side and watched the mother-daughter reunion.“Oh, my child,” Regina gushed, her eyes crinkling at the corners with pure joy as she pulled Anita in for a hug. “You have no idea how glad I am to see you awake again.” Her expression softened as she stroked Anita’s hair. “I was so worried and scared you wouldn’t come back to us.”Anita leaned into her mother’s embrace as she hugged her back and inhaled the familiar scent of her hair. “How could I leave without saying goodbye?” She murmured against her mother’s hair whilst fighting back tears.The hug lasted for a few seconds before they pulled apart. And Regina smiled warmly as she wiped the tears that slipped from the corner of Anita’s eyes. “Thank you for not leaving us.”Anita r
CHAPTER 286
It had been three weeks since Anita’s accident, Adrian’s near-death experience, his defeat of Lawrence Smith and Kai, the revelation of his true identity to the Mullers, and the bankruptcy of the Yates family.Adrian hadn’t been surprised on the day when the warden at Hades Prison informed him about Tristan and Natalie’s attempt to get Nathan out. And because he expected it, he had already put a plan in place to ensure that Tristan and his family would be taught a valuable lesson.He didn’t do anything to Natalie because the realization that she would never be able to save her brother was already punishment enough.After the Yates company went bankrupt, they had tried to reach out to Adrian on several occasions, albeit indirectly through Jonah. They pleaded with him to reconsider, but he stood firm in his decision.Now, both they and the Mullers had been wiped off the radar of Wibston’s elite, and even average families.Meanwhile, after dealing with his enemies, Adrian hadn’t left t
CHAPTER 285
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
CHAPTER 283
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
CHAPTER 280
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
