RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 243
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 swerved into the parking lot of the Lifemate Hospital. He got out without delay, and went around to the passenger’s side where Nathan sat, shrunken back against the seat. Opening the passenger door, he unfastened the seatbelt and pulled Nathan out by his arm. Then without bothering to care how the man was holding up, he dragged him towards the entrance of the hospital Pushing the doors open, the sterile scent of antiseptic and drugs fanned his nostrils, but he ignored it and kept his gaze forward as he headed down the hallway leading to Anita’s ward. Patrons and staffs of the hospital murmured at the unusual scene before them. Some of them gasped at Nathan’s bloodied and disheveled state, while the others covered their noses in disgust as the smell of his urine contaminated the air. Adrian paid them no mind as he kept dragging Nathan through the narrow hallway with pristine white walls. The moment they reached Anita’s ward, he opened the door and pulled Nathan inside

Vincent reluctantly listened to Adrian’s words and moved aside from a barely conscious Nathan. He looked at Adrian with a barely restrained, but pleasing expression.“Please, take him away from here. I don’t know what I’ll do if I keep seeing him here.”“I’ll do that, but first he has to apologize to Anita,” Adrian suggested. “It’s the least he could do.”Vincent pressed his lips, but didn’t object to Adrian’s suggestion. He simply nodded and walked out of the ward, needing some space to calm his mind.“No, take him away,” Regina objected, her hands shooting out in front of her just as Adrian picked Nathan up, and dragged him towards Anita’s bed. “I don’t want him anywhere near Anita for one more second.”“Don’t you want him to apologize at least?” Adrian’s brows tilted as he tried to reason with her.Regina folded her arms and bobbed her knees, eyeing Nathan as though she was considering Adrian’s words. “Fine,” she begrudgingly agreed. “But make it quick. By the time, I return, he

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

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,

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.

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

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
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

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
