RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 34
The sales representative's hand trembled slightly as she held Adrian's card. This back and forth bidding had reached an outstanding level. She couldn’t believe that Adrian had dragged it out this far even after the new price reduction of the Dragon Ivy villas. But she was even more surprised that Flynn was arrogant enough to have fallen for it, she pitied him because he was in for a big shocker. Anyways, why was she bothered when she would be getting a commission that would set her up for life?She glanced at Adrian, silently seeking his approval and he subtly nodded for her to go ahead and close the bid while retrieving his card back from her. She turned back to Flynn, a professional smile playing on her lips. “Sold!” she chirped. “This bidding war has officially been closed. The villa is yours now, sir!”“As it should be.” Flynn tooted his horn, feeling extremely proud of himself. Wasting no further time, he handed his card over to the sales representative. She collected the card, s

Nancy grimaced in pain and fear creeped into her eyes as she struggled against Flynn’s bruising grip on her arm. With her free hand, she fumbled with the telephone, her fingers trembling as she dialed Gary’s number. Adrian, who was furious at the sight of Flynn manhandling Nancy, instantly retaliated by grabbing Suzy’s arm and twisting it behind her back. “Let go of me!” Suzy screamed, her voice laced with pain but Adrian tightened his hold.“Flynn whipped around at the sound of Suzy’s scream, the rage in his eyes intensifying as his gaze meet Adrian’s. “You dare touch my girlfriend?! Let her go now or I will…”“I will not let your girlfriend go until you leave that innocent girl alone.” Adrian cut Flynn off, his voice icy and unflinching.“Babe, please just let her go! My arm hurts so badly!” Suzy cried hysterically as her body writhed against Adrian’s firm grip.Unable to bear seeing Suzy in pain, Flynn reluctantly let Nancy go. Nancy clutched her arm with a whimper as she tried to

Nancy’s brows raised in surprise as she shifted her gaze toward Adrian, a nervous smile breaking out on her lips. “S-sir, you’re here too? Well, uh…my little brother is admitted in this hospital because he has a heart condition and I was just discussing his treatments with the doctor.” she explained in a shaky voice.The doctor whose name tag identified him as Dr. Evans, darted his eyes from Nancy to Adrian, his brows creasing into a frown at the polite way she was talking to him. “And who might you be?” he questioned, gazing pointedly at Adrian.“That’s not important.” Adrian brushed off the question. “From what I overheard, it seems you’re refusing to attend to this lady. May I ask why?”Dr. Evans scoffed, a dismissive snort escaping his lips. Who was this shabbily dressed buffoon to question him? “I don’t see how it’s any of your concern. It’s between me and her.”Nancy, sensing the budding tension between Adrian and the doctor, spoke up with a calming smile directed at Adrian. “Si

Jamie Lawson made his way into Lifemate Hospital, with the aim of confronting his father about the strange occurrence with his bank account the previous day. He had still not gotten over the humiliation he had faced at Elegantè boutique. He walked down the hallway leading to the waiting room and was about to press the elevator button, when he heard the sound of raised voices coming from nearby. The prevalent voice sounded like that of his friend, Ricky so he decided to greet him before meeting with his father.His thoughts were confirmed when he spotted Ricky or rather Doctor Evans, at the waiting room along with a lady and a man. His eyes lit up with mirth as he made his way toward his friend. “Ricky, buddy is that you?” he boomed.On hearing the sound of the voice, Doctor Evans turned to look at Jamie and his scowl melted into a smile. “Jamie, bro, it’s been a while.” “I know right.” Jamie replied as he gave Doctor Evans a friendly pat on the shoulder. “Good to see you.” Jamie's g

Nancy gasped, her eyes widening in horror as she watched Doctor Arnold mercilessly rain a fury of slaps down on Jamie’s face. The blazing hot anger in his eyes sent shivers racking down her spine. How powerful was Adrian that a simple instruction from him had elicited such a brutal reaction from a middle aged man?Doctor Evans felt his throat constrict as he witnessed his friend getting his butt handed to him by his father. If Doctor Arnold could treat his own son with such ferocity, how grave would his own punishment be? Thinking about this sent involuntary tremors running from his head to his toes like little bolts of lightning.“D-dad, what are you hitting me so much because of that guy?!” Jamie sputtered incredulously, wincing from the stinging pain on his cheek. “Isn’t he just a no-”“I must not be slapping you enough if you’re still able to spew garbage from your mouth.” Doctor Arnold seethed as he increased the intensity of his slaps. “Aargh, Dad I’m so sorry.” Jamie croaked o

As Adrian got to Mr. Ben’s ward, the sight before him warmed his heart. Mr Ben was laughing lightheartedly with a smallish woman who looked to be in her mid-fifties. Her eyes crinkled at the corners as she spoke, and a warm smile played on her lips.Adrian’s gaze held curiosity as he approached them with light steps. “Mr. Ben?”Mr. Ben had been so engrossed in his conversation with the woman that he hadn’t noticed Adrian come in. “Oh Adrian, Good to see you.” he greeted him cheerfully.The woman who was sitting next to him on the hospital bed also turned her attention towards Adrian then back at Mr. Ben. “Honey, is this the nice young man you’ve been telling me about?” she asked in a gentle airy voice.“Yes, Hannah dear, he is.” Mr Ben replied before turning to Adrian again. “Adrian, meet my wife, Hannah.” he gestured to the woman with tenderness in his eyes.Adrian let out a genuine smile as he looked at the homely woman who reminded him of his mother. He made a mental note to introd

Hannah’s breath hitched, the panic in her chest rising at the thug’s threatening words. She instantly shot up from her seat and scrambled toward them, her voice shaky as she pleaded. “I-I’m sorry, I know the money is overdue, but I haven’t been able to raise enough to pay you back. Please, can you give me a little more time?” The leader stared at her coldly, his face etched with cruelty. “We’ve already given you more than enough time, lady. Time’s up.” His voice was gruff and devoid of any empathy. “If you don’t have the money, then this diner is ours.” Hannah's eyes widened in panic as her knees buckled under her. “Don’t take away my diner please,” she pleaded, her voice cracking with desperation. “It’s the only thing my grandmother left me with before she died. I’ll do all I can to raise the money, I promi-” “No one cares about your stupid sentiments,” the third thug, a stocky man with a ponytail, spat back at Hannah, his eyes showing no single sign of empathy. “You should have
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 41
The thugs exchanged wary glances before the stocky thug snapped. “Tread carefully, you idiot. Do you think $150,000 is an amount to joke with?”“You didn’t let me finish.” He shot back at the thug then continued, “I’ll pay you the money but in exchange, you must do three things.” he held up three fingers as he spoke.“One, you will apologize to Mrs Hannah and Mr Ben here for your actions towards them.” Hannah and Mr. Ben shared surprised glances. Why was Adrian acting so confident? The two thugs scoffed in amusement but the leader remained silent as he studied Adrian with an unreadable expression.“Two,” Adrian spoke again, this time his face hardened and his voice became more on edge. “Each of you will break your own noses just like your leader did to Mr. Ben.”A malicious glint ran through the bald thug's eyes as he sputtered. “Do you want to die? What kind of nonsense are you spewing from your mouth?!”Adrian smirked but ignored the thug’s outburst as he finished, “Three, you will

Henry and Evelyn froze like deers caught in headlights as Adrian’s voice echoed throughout the hall. All eyes turned to them, and in that moment, they wished the ground would open up and swallow them whole. Evelyn was the first to regain her composure, and she instantly replied with a nervous chuckle. “Yes…but the thing is…” She trailed off as she scrambled for an excuse to give, and then it hit her. She quickly jabbed Henry’s stomach with her elbow, and the moment he winced, she wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “Henry suddenly developed a stomach upset!” She announced dramatically. “I need to take him to the hospital right away.” Henry immediately caught up to her plan and clutched onto his stomach, feigning more pained groans. “Ouch…it hurts.” Adrian cocked a brow as he instantly saw through their lies, and luckily for him, he was already two steps ahead. “That’s too bad,” he smacked his teeth in feigned sympathy. But then his expression lit up. “Fortunately, we have a
CHAPTER 299
The hall was thrown into a panic-filled frenzy as Natalie pulled the trigger, and everyone’s heart lodged in their mouths as they dreaded what they’d see.As soon as the gun fired, Adrian stepped in front of Anita, completely shielding her.The world around him blurred as a sudden feeling overtook him and he saw the bullet moving in slow motion.His hand instinctively shot out and before he could even process it, the bullet got trapped between his fingers.The hot metal of the bullet would have seared the hand of an ordinary human, but Adrian was far from ordinary. The moment he realized he had caught the bullet, the world around him returned to normal.Natalie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “H-How..?” The words fell from her lips, but she didn’t complete them as she pulled the trigger again, with more force this time.Luckily for her, she had been wise enough to load the gun with more than one bullet.Adrian saw the second bullet coming and in one swift motion, he caught it with his o
CHAPTER 298
As soon as Adrian made the announcement, all eyes turned to Anita, who looked completely stunned that the spotlight was on her.Adrian extended his hand toward her, a charming smile gracing his lips. “Come, Anita. Come to me.”Anita did her best to maintain a composed smile, hiding her unease as she gracefully approached Adrian.Regina and Vincent followed closely behind, their expressions equally confused.Anita was endowed in a shimmering, diamond studded powder-blue gown which had a thigh-high slit that revealed glimpses of her slender, toned legs as she walked.Her brown hair was styled in bouncy waves, and her beautiful features became more striking with the minimal makeup she had on.The guests all let out collective gasps as the spotlight followed her.Her flawless face, luscious hair, and the stunning dress made her seem like she had descended straight from heaven. Adrian was captivated by her radiating beauty, and couldn’t stop smiling.When Anita finally reached him and pla
CHAPTER 297
The hug between Regina and Adrian lasted for a few seconds before Regina pulled back, and all the while Adrian’s eyes protruded from their sockets.He couldn’t just hide his shock.Regina’s hands lingered on his arms as she stared at him with affection. “I never thought I'd say this,” she admitted with a chuckle. “But I’m very grateful to you. I misjudged you, and I apologize for ever underestimating you.”It took Adrian a moment to regain his composure, and when he did, he offered Regina a warm smile. “It’s fine, mother-in-law. I’m just glad I’ve finally earned your approval.”Regina nodded. “I’m glad too. I hope this marks a new beginning between us moving forward.”And with that, Anita and her father joined in the hug to seal the emotional moment of reconnection and reconciliation.>>>>>The Engagement Day…The party was already in swing, although the main event hadn’t yet begun because Anita hadn't yet arrived.Dignitaries from all over Wibston were gathered in the grandiose hal
CHAPTER 296
Anita’s eyes widened as her legs twitched again…and again. “Oh my God!” Her breath hitched as she regained sensation in her limbs. “I can feel my legs! I can feel my legs!”Regina and Vincent froze, their gazes gluing to her trembling limbs in pure disbelief.“You can feel your legs?” Regina echoed shakily. Anita nodded frantically as her fingers dug into the sofa while her legs kept twitching uncontrollably. When Adrian felt like he had transferred enough energy to Anita’s spine, he let go of her hand.A deep breath escaped his mouth as he felt the drain of energy from his body. His vision blurred for a moment before stabilizing, and when he finally looked at Anita, she was staring at him in awe.“How do you feel now?” He asked in a slightly hoarse voice.Anita let out an incredulous laugh. “My legs…I can feel them.” Her voice sounded very excited. “I can even move my toes. Look…”She demonstrated her words by wiggling them, her eyes shining with childlike wonder. “Good.” Adrian
CHAPTER 295
Adrian maintained a serious expression as he met Anita’s confused gaze. “I have…abilities,” he confessed.Anita blinked, and she removed her hands from Adrian’s grip. “What?” Adrian inhaled and continued. “After coming in contact with the mystic scroll of an ancient Chinese grandmaster, I gained martial arts and healing abilities. I want to help you walk again, if you’ll let me.”There was a brief silence before Anita’s face contorted in deeper confusion. “This doesn’t make sense. How can a scroll give you abilities?”“Do you think we’re fools or something?” Regina scoffed from behind Adrian. “I thought you had changed from your slimy ways, but it seems I overestimated you.”“I have to agree with my wife on this one, son,” Vincent added with a frown. “Making a joke out of Anita’s condition is highly insensitive. I expected better from you.”Anita’s eyes glistened as she stared at Adrian with hurt written all over her face. “I can’t believe you would play with my feelings like this?
CHAPTER 294
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
CHAPTER 293
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
