RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 256
Doctor Arnold clutched the plastic evidence bag containing the bullet he extracted from Adrian’s body as he made his way toward the Wibston police station.He was going to meet with his forensic analyst friend to get answers regarding Adrian’s very strange case.The moment he entered the police station, he passed the lobby and headed straight to the adjoining building where the forensic laboratory was located.He pushed open the double white doors of the laboratory, and saw his friend looking into a microscope, oblivious to his entrance.“Ahem,” Doctor Arnold cleared his throat to get the middle aged man’s attention, and he looked up from his microscope.“Ahh, Arnold, my old friend,” his eyes lit up in recognition as he went around his workstation and approached Doctor Arnold. “Long time no see. What brings you here?” He extended his hands and Doctor Arnold shook it firmly. “Indeed, Justin,” Doctor Arnold replied before his expression became tighter. “I have something urgent to show
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 257
Doctor Arnold’s expression remained grim as he stepped out of the police station’s building.His entire body burned with the desire to find out the person who deliberately targeted and killed the young master.The moment he got into his car, he took out his phone with the aim of calling Jonah Leigh. If he couldn’t bring himself to break the news to Adrian’s father, maybe Jonah Leigh could do it.But he still dreaded Jonah’s reaction to the news.His thumb hovered over his phone screen for a moment longer before he finally decided to make the call.The line rang a few times before it connected. “Hello?” Jonah’s calm, but inquisitive voice came in through the receiver.Doctor Arnold took a huge gulp as his throat suddenly became dry. “M-Mr. Leigh, this is Arnold Lawson, Head Surgeon and Director of Lifemate Hospital.”“Doctor Arnold,” Jonah acknowledged, his tone warming up slightly. “To what do I owe this unexpected call? Is everything alright at the hospital?”Doctor Arnold hesitated

Blaze walked towards the building of the Black Viper clubhouse, and the moment he stepped in, a feeling of nostalgia washed over him as he inhaled the scent of cigarette smoke, sweat and liquor.The clubhouse had once been his second home, and he used to be a member of the club itself until he dropped out to focus on his martial arts training. He still visited occasionally, but it had been a long time since his last visit and tonight felt like the right time to do so.Adrian’s victory over Lawrence Smith and Kai had put him in a celebratory mood, and what better way to celebrate than with his former brothers?He saw the bikers all engaged in different activities. Some were playing card games, some playing snooker, while the others were being entertained by a couple of scantily dressed club girls.Kai spotted a few familiar faces at the snooker table, and he made his way over to them.“Brothers!” He greeted the moment he reached, and they all turned to him.For a second there was sile
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 259
The clubhouse was silent for a beat longer before the leader suddenly threw his head back and let out a loud sound of mocking laughter.His fellow bikers stared at him like he had grown two heads, but the man kept cackling and shaking his head in incredulity.Soon enough, his laughter died down and was replaced by a sneer as his gaze condescendingly raked over Jonah.“You really expect me to believe you know the powerful Young family just because you’re dressed in a damn suit?!” His lips curled into a scowl as he gestured to the other bikers. “Don’t let this man fool you brothers. He’s just bluffing. Go ahead and teach him a lesson!”The bikers hesitated as they shared wary glances with each other, but their leader was adamant.“Now!” He thundered. Just as they sprang into action, Blaze’s voice rang out in the room. “No one will lay a finger on him!”The leader frowned and turned to Blaze. “What the hell are you talking about, brother? Can’t you see that he insulted us?”Blaze didn’

Jonah visibly stiffened as his head slowly angled towards Blaze. “Lawrence Smith?” He repeated. “You mean the young master’s opponent for the Imperial Circle’s leadership?”“Exactly,” Blaze affirmed, his voice controlled, but his eyes glinted with growing anger. “I’m not one hundred percent sure, but my suspicions are strong. The young master defeated him in the duel and he seemed hungry for revenge. I guess attempting to kill—”“He didn’t attempt to kill the young master,” Jonah corrected before Blaze could finish, and his jaw locked as he tried to remain stoic faced. “He actually did it. The young master is dead.”Blaze’s eyes slowly enlarged and he subconsciously took a few steps back as his mind reeled.He had been of the notion that the young master was merely wounded by Lawrence and Kai.They killed him?So, his master was no more?No! Blaze shook his head and tightened his fists so hard, the veins on his biceps bulged.At that point all he could see was red, and he wanted blo

Doctor Arnold, Blaze and Jonah had just finished paying their last respects to Adrian and were set to leave the operating room.But just as they approached the exit, Jonah caught a sudden flash of light from his peripheral vision.He frowned and contemplated dismissing it as a minor malfunction of the room’s lightbulb. But then, the flash came again and he glanced up to see that the lightbulb was perfectly stable, not showing any signs of fluctuation.Finally, he turned to check what could could be causing such weirdness, and his eyes widened as he spotted the light pulsating beneath the white sheet covering Adrian.“Hold on,” he called out to Doctor Arnold and Blaze who immediately stopped and turned to him.They didn’t need to ask him why he stopped them because they saw the pulsating light beneath the white sheet for themselves.The three men hesitated out of uncertainty, but eventually they cautiously approached the operating table.This time around Doctor Arnold wasn’t the one t
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 262
The next morning,Adrian lay in a private ward, because he had been moved from the operating room under the close supervision of Doctor Arnold. But his unresponsive state hadn’t changed since the previous night.Not once did he blink throughout the moving process, and some of the staff had been unsettled by the cold tint in his wide open eyes.Blaze refused to leave Adrian’s side and spent the night in his ward. He didn’t want to miss the moment when he finally woke up. Jonah, on the other hand, had gone home for a change of clothes and hadn’t yet returned.Doctor Arnold arrived at the ward with a clipboard in his hand to check up on Adrian.But his gaze was drawn to the sight of Blaze knocked out on the couch, his arms folded across his chest and his head tilted backwards.He shook his head in amazement at Blaze’s loyalty to Adrian, and he found himself having a deep respect for him.He even began to reconsider Blaze’s words from last night. Could Adrian really be connected to a Ch

The ward went silent for a few seconds, then slowly, and almost robotically, the three men turned toward Adrian’s bed.They wore identical expressions of shock as they stared at the young master’s form.He was no longer still with his eyes wide open, he was sitting upright now, and his eyes looked very much alive.Adrian, seeing the three men silently gawk at him, tilted his head in amusement.“Is there…something on my face? Why are you guys looking at me like that?”For a second, no one said anything. Then as the shock began to wear away from the men, Doctor Arnold was the first to make a move.He clutched the clipboard in his hand as he rushed to Adrian’s side. “Young master, you’re finally awake. Thank goodness.” He heaved a sigh of relief, then his eyes narrowed in concern as he studied Adrian. “How do you feel?”Adrian stretched his limbs on the bed, twisting and turning in almost unnatural positions. The movement seemed effortless as though his body had undergone a major trans

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
CHAPTER 288
“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
CHAPTER 287
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
