RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 244
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 still don’t 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 h

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 pleading 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,

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 backrest 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. But even mor

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 being 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,” Adri

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 can’t 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 want and turn your life around.” Ashley rolled her eyes at the cockiness in the man’s tone, and her gaze met his

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 die

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 vomit off his face and then tossed it to the floor. At this time, the minor tipsiness in his eyes had cleared off and he could think clearly again, so his movements weren’t as slow. His gaze shifted to the man and he stifled a laugh as he saw the drama being displayed by him. 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 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, expecting

The next day, Anita and Adrian sat in their living room at the Glorious Garden Estate, waiting for Anita’s parents to arrive.Anita’s heart pounded and she placed a hand on her chest, taking in deep breaths in a bid to calm it.Adrian noticed her anxiousness and squeezed her hand, though his was a bit sweaty. Today wasn’t just about Anita’s pregnancy revelation, it was also the day he’d propose to her and reveal his abilities. He tried his best to keep himself calm, despite how almost impossible it seemed.The moment Anita saw Regina and Vincent coming down the stairs, her nerves skyrocketed and she tightened her hand around his.“Breathe, Anita. It’ll all go smoothly,” Adrian whispered to her, though it felt more like he was assuring himself.Regina’s gaze landed on them the moment she reached the foot of the stairs, and her steps slowed as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.“What’s going on?” She voiced out as her eyes alternated between their awkward expressions. Vincent, on th

The sales lady paused in her tracks at Evelyn’s words, and her eyes nervously darted to Adrian, unsure of what to do. “Sir…”“Ignore her,” Adrian interjected in an indifferent tone. “Just get me the ring. Whatever the price is, I’ll pay.”The saleslady nodded and was about to take another step forward when Evelyn dragged her back by the collar. You dare ignore me?!” Evelyn hissed with her hands raised in a bid to slap the lady, but Adrian quickly intercepted the hit by catching her wrist mid-air.He flung it back to her side, and gave her a hard stare. “Don’t lay your hand on her again. You have no right to.”The last shred of control in Henry snapped and he lunged at Adrian, grabbing him by the collar.“How dare you lay your filthy hands on my girlfriend!” He spat, his eyes shooting lasers at Adrian’s face. “It seems you must be seeking death!”Adrian’s gaze flickered down to Henry’s hand fisting his collar, then back up to meet his glare. “You have exactly five seconds to get your
CHAPTER 292
Three days later…Anita was finally discharged from the hospital, and Adrian took her back to their house. There was another emotional reunion; this time between Anita and her father, Vincent, who had just returned from a spiritual center, where he had gone to pray for her speedy recovery. He wasn’t happy to see his daughter in a wheelchair, but was grateful she was alive nonetheless.Speaking of Anita’s condition, Adrian had tried to heal her back at the hospital, but his attempts had failed.He restlessly wondered why until Grandmaster Xu appeared to him in a dream-like trance and told him that his abilities would only work on Anita if she knew about them….and believed in them.Because to be healed, one had to believe.Therefore, Adrian came up with an elaborate plan to break the news to her.He would do it as part of the special birthday package he had organized for her. A package that included his proposal and the lavish engagement party he had promised her some weeks ago.Her a

Regina’s heart sank to her stomach as Anita’s words replayed over and over in her head. She flinched as though she was burned, and her hand clutched her chest as she stared at her daughter in disbelief.“W-What?” The word fell out of her mouth in an incredulous whisper. “How can you say that to me, Anita? I’m your mother…the same person who gave birth to you and raised you to become the woman you are today. How can you just…just sever ties with me?”A flicker of guilt was ignited within Anita, but she steeled her expression. She had to show her mother she was serious, otherwise the woman would never change.“You brought this upon yourself,” she muttered bluntly. “You should have listened when I told you…no, begged you to stay out of my marriage.”Regina’s heart sank even further, and her breathing picked up. “I can’t…” she wheezed. “I can’t…”Doctor Arnold sensed that she was about to have a panic attack, and he rushed over to her.“Mrs. Davies. Can you hear me?” He called out to he

Regina clutched her phone tightly as she entered further into the ward. Her eyes narrowed into a heated glare as they locked onto Adrian and Anita’s closeness.The sight of them together made her blood boil, but she pushed her irritation back down.After what she was about to show Anita, there’s no way she’d remain with him.Anita frowned as her mother approached, and any sense of relief she had felt from not seeing her earlier, vanished. “Mother, seriously. What is it this time?” She asked, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.Regina glanced between Anita and Adrian, and then a triumphant smirk formed on her lips as she wiggled the phone in her hand.“Here with me is evidence that this useless man doesn’t deserve to be with you.”Adrian’s brows cocked at Regina’s words.What game was the woman playing at now?Anita’s gaze shifted to the phone in her mother’s hand, and her frown deepened. “What evidence are you talking about?”She then turned to Adrian. “Do you know what my mother i

Adrian was silent for a few seconds, then as though Doctor Arnold’s words just registered, some color returned to his face.“Pregnant?” He repeated, still trying to confirm that he hadn’t heard wrong. “As in…carrying a child?”Doctor Arnold’s smile remained on his lips. “Precisely, Young Master. Though I’ll need to run a test to confirm it.”Adrian clapped his hands together, and pressed them against his lips as his eyes glistened. “What a bittersweet moment. On one hand, my wife might be pregnant. And on the other, she has lost her ability to walk. How would she react to this?”Doctor Arnold sighed empathetically. “I don’t know. But we can only hope the joy of the pregnancy softens the blow of the other news.”The room went silent as Adrian wrestled with the conflicted emotions within him, while Doctor Arnold went back to monitoring the images on the computer.About half an hour later, the MRI was complete, and Anita was slid out of the machine.Her gaze flickered suspiciously betwe

“You!” Regina lunged forward and jabbed a finger at Adrian while practically shooting lasers with her eyes. “Ever since you came into my daughter’s life, it’s been one misfortune after another! Why can’t you leave her alone? Can’t you see your presence is causing her more harm than good!”Adrian’s jaw clenched, the irritation on his face unmistakable. He was getting increasingly fed up with Regina’s tantrums, and was very close to losing it with her.But he wouldn’t. At least not today.Taking a deep breath to control his rising temper, he focused back on Anita and brushed an unruly strand of hair out of her face as he continued comforting her.Anita didn’t as much as spare her mother a glance as she tightened her arms around Adrian, finding solace in his comfort.This, coupled with Adrian’s snubbing, seemed to infuriate Regina further. “Hey! I’m talking to you!” She snapped and stepped forward in an attempt to yank Adrian’s arm off Anita’s shoulders, but the look he shot her way ma

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
