RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 98
“I’ll do that right away, young master,” Jonah replied without hesitation and the line went dead. Miles, Skylar, the manager, and the rude sales assistant exchanged amused glances as they looked down on Adrian, thinking he was bluffing. “Cut the act, loser,” Skylar spat. “You’re not fooling anyone here.” The rude sales assistant joined in, sneering. “It’s not too late to take up the manager’s offer to compensate you and save the last shred of self respect you have.” “The offer is off the table!” The manager declared in a derisive tone. “His money, if it’s even his at all, will be refunded to him. I won’t have a lowlife like him buying any of our precious jewelry. He'll just soil them with his poor hands.” As the group jeered at him, Adrian remained silent, his expression calm, almost bored. On the other hand, a million thoughts of how to teach Adrian a lesson, swirled through Miles’ mind, and he contemplated calling his father and reporting Adrian’s bashfulness to him. But af

As Adrian stepped out of the jewelry store, he slipped the invitation from the mayor into his pocket. His first gift for Anita was secured, but there was more to do. An idea struck him, and he quickly pulled out his phone to call Jonah. “Hello young master,” Jonah answered on the first ring. “I trust the mayor was able to make it to the jewelry store in time, as you requested?” “Yes, Jonah,” Adrian affirmed. “The issue has been resolved. “That’s good to hear,” Jonah exhaled in relief. “Is there anything else I can help you with?” “Actually, there is. I’m looking for a place to take Anita for Valentine’s Day—a place that’s truly special. Preferably a restaurant.” There was a brief pause from the other end, as Jonah smiled knowingly. He cleared his throat and finally replied. “As a matter of fact, I have the perfect place in mind, young master. It might interest you to know that Alpha hotel, a subsidiary of Alpha group, has the best and most luxurious restaurant in the entire r

“Perfect,” Adrian rubbed his hands together and leaned forward. “ I’d like everything to be arranged with the utmost care—from the restaurant to the service to the food. It all needs to be impeccable. But there’s one more thing; when I arrive with my wife tonight, she’s going to wonder how I could afford such a luxurious dinner, considering my cover up identity as a jobless average joe. We’d have to come up with a believable explanation that quells her curiosity. Is that understood?” “Clearly understood, young master.” Leon replied confidently. “I’ll have the staff reserve the entire rooftop restaurant for your dinner. And I’ll personally ensure that everything is perfectly set in place, so your dinner can be a memorable one.” “I expect nothing less,” Adrian said seriously as he picked up the teacup and sipped his tea until its last drop. “Now, tell me more about this hotel. I want to know everything.” About half an hour later, Adrian was done with his

Stephanie stood frozen, her breath catching in her throat as the cold liquid soaked through her designer dress, and dripped down to her expensive shoes. Her mind raced, and her shock was quickly replaced by deep rage. “You bloody animal!” She shrieked, her cheeks burning with hot fury as she raised her hand to slap Adrian. But before she could make contact, Adrian caught her wrist just mere centimeters from his face. “Don’t you dare,” he hissed, his grip on her arm tightening slightly. His eyes bore into hers with a cold intensity. “You can’t just behave however you please and think you’ll get away with it. This isn’t business as usual.” “Let go of me, you bastard!” Stephanie seethed, yanking her hand free when Adrian finally loosened his grip. She took a step back, her chest heaving with indignation as the escalating tension caught the attention of the patrons in the bar and they turned to watch, their eyes alight with curiousity. Matt, who had been watching the scene unfold, quick
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 102
Matt let out a strangled cry as he clutched his legs at the unbearable pain that coursed through them. His face contorted with agony, and tears welled up in his eyes. The manager, his expression still devoid of any warmth towards Matt, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the bar, leaving behind a pool of something that looked like urine, and the sudden foul stench that permeated the air confirmed it. The sound of Matt's groaning and whimpering could still be faintly heard in the distance even after they had left. Stephanie's face paled as she stared at the entrance where Matt had just been dragged out of in disbelief. The horror of what had just happened played out in her mind, and she realized that she had severely underestimated Adrian, thinking he was still the same loser as before. Fear coursed through her veins as Leon’s icy eyes was now staring at her. “Apologize to Mr. Young,” he commanded, his voice leaving no room for defiance. “And then leave this hotel immedia

Leon completely ignored Henry and Evelyn’s presence, acting as though they didn’t exist, and gestured for Adrian and Anita to follow him. Adrian nodded and offered Anita his arm with a warm smile. “Shall we?” Anita returned his smile, her heart beating with anticipation as she took his arm. They began to follow Leon, and Adrian made sure to step on the dollar bills Henry had thrown at his feet earlier and crinkle them until they were almost torn. Evelyn and Henry were left standing in the middle of the lobby, dumbfounded infuriated and humiliated as the elevator doors closed, shutting them out. Minutes later, the elevator dinged open and Adrian and Anita stepped out of it and onto the rooftop terrace of the hotel. The moment Anita set foot in the restaurant, she let out a gasp of awe. The place was adorned with beautiful red and white decorations that perfectly befitted the Valentine’s Day theme. Soft classical music was being played in the background by a female violinist and this

Adrian reached out just in time, and knocked the fork from Anita’s grasp before she could take a bite of the cherry pie. The fork clattered to the floor, and Anita was startled as she looked up at him.“Adrian? What’s wrong?” she asked, her voice laced with confusion.Adrian’s gaze flickered to the phone in his hands and back to Anita with a serious expression. “Leon just told me they made a mistake with the pie and it’s not good enough for eating.”Anita frowned and was about to say something when Leon rushed towards their table, his expression tense and urgent. “I’m deeply sorry for the inconvenience, Sir, Ma’am, it seems our chefs were careless in preparing this dessert. It’s highly unacceptable and I’ll ensure this doesn’t happen again. Kindly exercise patience, a replacement is being made for you as we speak.”He then turned to Adrian. “Sir, please can I have a word with you in private?Adrian nodded, his expression still serious. “Of course.” His gaze flickered to Anita. “Anita,

Henry and Evelyn kept writhing in their seats and within moments, the discomfort they felt became unbearable and they doubled over in pain.An unpleasant stench of fart suddenly permeated the air as Henry let out a strained groan, and Evelyn gasped in horror as she released a loud fart of her own that echoed through the restaurant. The foul odor of her and Henry’s farts quickly spread and this drew the attention of the other customers.“Ew, what’s that horrible smell?” a woman at a nearby table exclaimed, covering her nose.“It smells like a sewage pipe bursted in here!” another lady added, her nose crinkling as she gagged.“It’s certainly hazardous inhaling something as awful as this. Jeez!” someone spat in disgust.“I think it’s them,” a man yelled, pointing toward Henry and Evelyn, who had both turned a shade of green as they tried to contain their embarrassment.A wave of murmurs erupted in the restaurant as the realization that it was indeed Henry and Evelyn, dawned on everyone.

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

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

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

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

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

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
