RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 237
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 was rushed to a nearby ward by Adrian and Doctor Arnold instantly got to work reviving her. Adrian and Vincent stood at opposite ends of the room, each watching what Doctor Arnold was doing with rapt attention. Adrian was calm, though his heart raced as he relived the moment Regina fainted out of shock when she heard the disheartening news about Anita.A coma? He himself still struggled to believe that Anita had slipped into an indefinite coma. At that moment, his heart was filled with different kind of emotions which he wasn’t sure how to express.He simply clenched his jaw very tightly with his fists held to the front of his mouth as he waited for Regina to wake up.Vincent, on the other hand, was struggling to maintain a calm composure. He just got news that his daughter had slipped into coma and now his wife had fainted.That was more than one person could handle. The tears he had been holding back ever since he arrived at the hospital began streaming down his face. And

Adrian remained by Anita’s bed side for a few more minutes before rising to his feet and pressing a gentle kiss on her bandaged forehead. “I’ll be back,” he whispered softly as his lips lingered a second longer. “Please don’t stop fighting.” He spared her a final glance before leaving her side and walking out of the room, shutting the door quietly behind him. Once again, he met Doctor Arnold patiently waiting for him in the waiting room. He approached the doctor with a determined, yet fierce look on his face. Doctor Arnold noticed the intimidating demeanor and gulped involuntarily. When Adrian reached where he stood, he crossed his arms as his gaze locked on him. Doctor Arnold fidgeted with the sleeves of his lab coat as he struggled to retain eye contact with Adrian. “Young master, I—” “Don’t,” Adrian raised a hand to silence him, and he nodded obediently. “Who was the person who brought my wife here?” Adrian continued. “Did they say anything regarding the details of the accid

Klaus hesitated a bit, his brows furrowing as though he was trying to come to terms with what he saw. Then finally he replied.“There were no physical signs of malfunction in the car. It seems it had been tampered with through other means.”Adrian tilted his head as a confused frown settled on his face. “What other means?” His impatience seeped through his voice.“I don’t know,” Klaus’s shoulders fell, but then his expression lit up as though he remembered something. “Actually, I have a hacker friend who is also good with cars. He’ll know what happened. I’ll call him right away.”Adrian’s jaw ticked with impatience, but he said nothing as he watched Klaus pull out his phone and call the said friend.“Hey wassup man,” he greeted as soon as the line connected. “I need your help with something. It’s urgent. Can you come to the ditch under the Wibston Mainland bridge?”There was a small pause from Klaus before he spoke up again. “Alright man, thanks. Please come as fast as you can, and b

Adrian and the bodyguard stormed into Malik’s apartment the moment the bodyguard kicked the door open. Malik’s eyes were wide as saucers, and he instinctively stumbled backwards as he saw the two men standing in his doorway.“W-who are you guys?” He sputtered, his gaze alternating frantically between the both of them. “What do you want with me?”Adrian stepped in further into the living room and peered around for a moment before his gaze settled on Malik. He accessed the average-heighted man in a college hoodie, and a frown appeared between his brows. His face was familiar and he seemed completely innocent and incapable of harming a fly. But if there was one thing he had learnt, it was not to judge a book by its cover.There was more to the issue. Something wasn’t adding up.Coming out of his thoughts, his gaze remained fixated on Malik. “I’m Adrian Young, and I need answers from you,” he muttered in a tone that sent chills down Malik’s spine.“A-Answers?” Malik repeated in a stam

Malik’s eyes widened as he felt himself being lifted off the floor and he stared at Adrian in bewilderment. He was incredibly scared of heights no matter how small, and this little action made his heart want to leap out of his chest.“I…I don’t know where he is,” he admitted, his voice trembling with terror. “He didn’t tell me where he was going when he left my house.”Adrian’s jaw tightened and he yanked Malik higher, not believing his excuse for a second. “You’re trying to play smart with me, right?” He sneered so darkly that even the bodyguard instinctively stepped back.The anger radiating off Adrian was enough to send chills down anyone’s bones. Malik frantically shook his head, the panic in his eyes evident as he noticed the way Adrian’s pupil’s dilated. “I’m not trying to play smart, I swear,” he sputtered. “I really don’t know where Nathan is.”Adrian tilted his head for a bit before finally releasing his hold on Malik, making him fall to the floor. He glowered down at him,

Adrian reached where Nathan lay in no time and crouched down to his level. Raising him up by his collar so they were face to face, his narrowed eyes locked onto Nathan’s terrified ones.“You crossed the line this time, and I’ll destroy you for it,” Adrian hissed, his voice low and menacing. “For every single bit of pain Anita felt because of you, I’ll return it in a thousand folds.”Without waiting for Nathan to respond, Adrian lifted him up by the collar, making his feet dangle from the floor. “Get your hands off me!” Nathan cried out as he struggled to pry Adrian’s grip away from his collar. “You’re accusing me wrongly! I don’t know what you’re talking about!”Adrian’s eyes flashed with hot fury at Nathan’s blatant lies and denial. His grip on his collar tightened and he lifted him up further off the ground. So much so that Nathan’s eyes widened impossibly at his unusual strength. The shiver that ran down Nathan’s spine then intensified as he increased his struggling. “Put me do

Grandpa Lloyd remained speechless and unmoving for a few more seconds, and Adrian had to snap his fingers in front of his face to jolt him out of his spaced out state.Grandpa Lloyd snapped back to reality and his eyes flickered between the phone and Adrian. “I-is that real?”“Are you kidding me?” Adrian spat incredulously. “You don’t still believe me?”This was the final straw for him as he hurled his phone across the wall. The phone clattered to the wall and slipped to the floor, shattering to pieces. This was the second phone he was destroying in less than a day, but he couldn’t give two hoots about it. Without giving Grandpa Lloyd the chance to react or stop him, he charged for Nathan.Nathan’s breath caught on his throat and he tried to make a run for it, but Adrian caught him by the back collar of his shirt and yanked him backwards. Then, he forcefully dragged him along as he came to face Grandpa Lloyd again. He shoved Nathan to his knees and tightened his grip on his collar.

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

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

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

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,

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
