RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR Chapter 12
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Adrian demanded in a tone filled with indignation. “I was definitely not-.” The lady’s high pitched voice cut him off. “Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. I clearly saw you peeking under my skirt.” Her accusation drew a wave of murmurs and gasps from the patrons at the restaurant. “Some men are just too daring. Looking under a ladies skirt? What a pervert.” A woman scoffed in disgust. “Can you believe this bumpkin? He surely deserves ten more slaps.” Another person voiced out. Anita, who had witnessed the entire scene, knew the truth. “I’m sorry but you are mistaken,” she interjected, her voice firm. “He was simply tying his shoelace.” “Stop trying to defend him and don’t interfere.” The lady put her finger up dismissively at Anita then turned to face Adrian with a look of disgust. “Only a weakling like you needs a woman to defend him.” Adrian clenched his jaw and looked at her coldly. “You can’t just accuse me out of t

Alex Peabody strode towards the La carte restaurant in Penthouse Hotel with two bodyguards in tow. The anger he felt rolled over him like waves. The person that insulted his favorite nephew was simply too daring. As soon as he reached the entrance of the restaurant, his eyes darted around until they landed on an obvious confrontation between two men and two girls. Seeing the exasperated look on Jerry’s face, he roared as he approached them. “Who dares to insult my nephew?!”Murmurs elicited from the customers at the restaurant, even the waiters had paused to see what was going to happen. The entire atmosphere was bubbling with anticipation.“Woah! This is the first time I’m seeing Alex Peabody in person. He looks really furious.” A lady whispered to her friend.“This lad should have begged when he had the chance. Those bodyguards look like they could crush someone with a finger.” Another lady shuddered at the sight of the burly bodyguards trailing behind Alex Peabody.“I’d definitely

Liam Muller had just stepped out of a bar across from the courthouse when he sighted Adrian standing in front of the courthouse. “Isn’t it that bastard?” He mused, a cruel glint shining in his eyes as he approached Adrian who seemed to be lost in thought. “If it isn’t the good-for-nothing beggar.” He drawled in a bit to goad Adrian.Adrian sighed and closed his eyes for a second as if to calm himself before reopening them and staring coldly at Liam. “I’m not cut out for your trouble today, Liam.”“My trouble?” Liam snorted. “You should be on your knees thanking me for gracing a cheap loser like you with my presence.”Adrian ignored Liam and turned to walk away but Liam’s taunting words stopped him in his tracks. “How is your dear mother?” He asked maliciously. “I hope she hasn’t died since you couldn’t pay for her surgery.”Adrian clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as a surge of anger coursed through him. Forcing it down, he glanced back at Liam suspiciously. “How did you know t

“Aargh!” Liam roared as he threw different objects against the wall of his room. He was very furious at the fact that Adrian had married Anita Davies, but even more so, he was angry at himself for rejecting her. He should have asked to meet her in person first before concluding that she was ugly. He continued throwing things across the wall and the noise alerted the attention of his mother, Tatiana Davies who rushed in to see what was going on.“Son!” she exclaimed, taking in the wreckage of Liam’s room with shocked eyes before rushing to his side. “What in heaven's name is going on? Why are you so angry?”Liam spun around to face her, his chest heaving. “It's because of that bastard beggar," he spat through gritted teeth. "He stole my woman from me. I can't believe it. It's unacceptable!”Tatiana’s brows furrowed in thought. She knew exactly who Liam was referring to. “How is that possible?” She questioned, her voice laced with disdain. “I thought he had married that ugly granddaugh

Frustration and irritation settled deep within Anita’s bones, her mother seemed to care more about their status than her own daughter’s feelings. “Mom, I don’t want to talk about this anymore,” she said in a drained voice. “Adrian is my husband, and we are not getting a divorce, that’s final. Stop crying over spilled milk.” “I will never accept him as my son-in-law.” Regina huffed stubbornly as she rose from the sofa. Too annoying!” She shot Adrian a disapproving look before storming out of the room. “Well, that went well.” Adrian remarked sarcastically, after a moment of awkward silence. Anita offered him a small, tired smile. “Don’t worry about my mother and don’t take her insults seriously. That’s just how she is. When my dad returns from his trip, he would talk some sense into her. He is the more reasonable one.” Adrian nodded, appreciating her attempt to comfort him. Deep down, he wasn’t really bothered about Regina’s prejudice towards him. “By the way,” Adrian asked, hi

Seeing as Mr. Ben was unconscious, Adrian, who only sported a small cut at the side of his face, whipped out his phone and called the emergency services. Before long the sirens signaling their arrival blared in the distance and Adrian whispered assuringly to an unconscious Mr. Ben, “Hold on for just a bit longer, help is on the way.At the hospital, Mr. Ben was wheeled to the intensive care unit while Adrian quickly went to see his mother before her surgery began.Immediately his mother Irene, saw him looking pale and disheveled, she slowly sat up on her bed as her brows pinched in concern. “Did something happen? You look shaken.”Adrian crouched next to her as he took her frail hands in his. “I got into a car accident on my way here.” Irene’s eyes instantly widened and she squeezed his hands as she frantically searched his face and body for any injuries. When her eyes zeroed in on the cut at the side of his head her eyes welled up with tears. “My son,” she choked out as she lightly

Adrian frowned at Clyde’s preposterous demand. “I won’t do that.” He stated firmly. “Neither I nor the cab driver caused the accident. It was all as a result of Ashley’s careless driving.” Clyde’s face twisted into a sneer. “Don’t go too far, bumpkin!” He warned. “ I wasn’t giving you a choice to apologize. It was an order. Now do as I said or you’ll regret it.” “Stop now, Clyde. It’s enough!” Ashley fumed, frustration coursing through her veins like a tidal wave. “I know you are trying to defend me, but blaming innocent people is wrong.” Clyde was incredibly annoyed that Ashley was taking Adrian’s side. This made his hatred towards Adrian fester by the second. He needed to prove his dominance, not just to Adrian, but to Ashley as well. “Ash, don't you understand that I'm doing this for you? He needs to apologize, innocent or not!” He spat the words out, his voice leaving no room for argument. Clyde glared back at Adrian. “This is your last chance to apologize. If you refuse again

A feeling of unease crept up Bryce’s spine as he saw the caller Id of his ringing phone—It was Jonah Leigh, the Young family Butler. His hand fidgeted slightly as he raised the phone to his ear. Immediately, Jonah’s low and stern voice echoed through the receiver. “Bryce Stevens, what did you do to anger the Young Master? He has ordered me to fire you from the position of CEO and you know his word is law! On that note, going forward, you seize to be the CEO of Fortgate Security Services. Goodbye!” Jonah ended the call and Bryce Stevens was rendered speechless as all the color drained from his face. He gaped at Adrian in panic. How had he failed to realize that Adrian was the Young Master, his boss. Clyde, on the other hand, was a blubbering mess as he sank to the floor, unable to believe that he had just been fired through a phone call. He didn’t even know when he crawled towards Adrian and clutched onto his leg. “Sir, I…I didn’t know you were my boss.” He stuttered, his voice fil

Regina was rushed to a nearby ward by Adrian and Doctor Arnold instantly got to work reviving her. Adrian and Vincent stood at opposite ends of the room, each watching what Doctor Arnold was doing with rapt attention. Adrian was calm, though his heart raced as he relived the moment Regina fainted out of shock when she heard the disheartening news about Anita.A coma? He himself still struggled to believe that Anita had slipped into an indefinite coma. At that moment, his heart was filled with different kind of emotions which he wasn’t sure how to express.He simply clenched his jaw very tightly with his fists held to the front of his mouth as he waited for Regina to wake up.Vincent, on the other hand, was struggling to maintain a calm composure. He just got news that his daughter had slipped into coma and now his wife had fainted.That was more than one person could handle. The tears he had been holding back ever since he arrived at the hospital began streaming down his face. And

Adrian pushed the doors of the Life-mate hospital open, and headed straight for the intensive care unit without as much as an acknowledgment to the staff at the reception. He met Vincent, who had been out of Wibston on a trip, and Regina pacing in the waiting room of the intensive care unit and the panic and worry on their faces made his heart sink.The moment Regina saw him approaching, the panic on her face morphed into anger as she marched to him. And before he could say anything, her hand collided with his cheek in a slap that resounded through the waiting room.“What kind of husband are you?” She seethed, her irises flickering with rage. “Anita has been fighting for her life for the past one hour, and you dare to show up just now?!”Her voice rose a few notches as she grabbed the neckline of Adrian’s tee in her hands, completely disregarding the tiny patches of blood around it. “What were you doing that you couldn’t protect my daughter?” She spat again, her voice trembling with

Kai didn’t bother to pay any attention to Adrian as he tightened his grip on Blaze’s neck. The color on Blaze’s face transformed from red to ashen, and it became obvious that Kai was infusing some of his dark energy into him.Adrian’s anger rolled off him in waves, and his body seemed to glow a little more as he crossed the distance to Blaze in the speed of light. Before Kai could process what was happening, Adrian retracted his palm and slammed it against Kai’s chest with enough force to send him flying across the ring and landing on the ground with a thundering crash.Blaze fell to the ground after Kai released him and he wheezed as he tried to catch his breath. The whole arena was silent at this point, as no one dared to utter a word, not even an intake of breath.Adrian walked up to Blaze and extended a hand towards him. “I’ll take it up from here, Blaze. You did well holding the fort for me.”Blaze looked up at Adrian, and his expression was filled with awe as he took in his gl

“Could the duel be over?!” Julian boomed from his spot at the front stand of the arena. “The other guy seems not to be getting up. If he’s still down in the next twenty seconds, he’ll be declared the loser!”Blaze’s ears perked up in alarm at Julian’s announcement, and seeing as Adrian wasn’t going to get up on his own, he rushed to him without hesitation.With a precise strike of his fist against Kai’s spine, Blaze sent him stumbling away from Adrian.Taking advantage of Kai’s momentary disorientation, Blaze knelt beside Adrian and quickly placed an arm around his shoulder to support him. With some effort, he helped him up to his feet just before the final seconds elapsed. “Master, you need to fight the dark energy before it consumes you,” he advised, his tone filled with concern.Adrian wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and held onto Blaze’s arm for a moment longer to steady himself. “I’m trying,” he gritted, his face tightening as the dark energy wrapped around his hea

Nathan’s anxiety began to fade as his friend Malik methodically worked to cover up their tracks, ensuring no one would ever trace Anita’s accident back to him.Still, the memory of her terrified scream, and the sound of the crash replayed in his head like a broken record. His heart gnawed with extreme guilt, but then a dark sinister voice whispered in his head.“Cheer up, Nathan. It’s too late to cry over spilled milk. At least now you’d get back all you lost to her. You’ve won.”At the mention of him finally defeating Anita, every shred of guilt he felt vanished and was replaced with sadistic triumph, and a befitting smile slowly crept up his lips.“It’s all done, Nate,” Malik announced as he pushed back from the table, and reclined on his swivelling chair, both of his hands coming to rest at the back of his head.He looked up at Nathan’s relieved face and chuckled. “That was kind of scary, wasn’t it? Even I froze for a moment before my mind geared into action.”Nathan scratched the

“N-Nathan?” Anita’s jaw dropped in shock as she heard the voice of her cousin come in from the speaker. Her grip tightened on the steering wheel as her unease became stronger. “What’s happening? What did you do to my car?” “Oh, nothing much, just a little…rigging,” Nathan replied in a casual voice. “Isn’t it exciting to know that I can control your car from where I am? I can even..” He trailed off and before Anita could respond, the steering wheel jerked suddenly under her grasp and started moving on its own accord. “Nathan, stop!” She screamed in panic as she tried to regain control of the steering. “My car is swerving out of control! Why are you doing this?!” The mocking sound of laughter came from the speaker again, and slowly the steering wheel started working normally. “Oh you look so sacred, Anita. You should see your face right now.” Anita’s heart dropped to her stomach as her eyes darted around the car. Was he watching her? A shiver ran down her spine as she scanned for an

The air in the hall crackled with tension as the four men faced off with each other. Adrian and Blaze, Lawrence and Kai.Lawrence and Kai wore identical smug expressions as they undermined their opponents, while Adrian and Blaze wore unfazed, yet confident expressions.Lawrence, deciding to add more heat to the tension, turned to Kai with a cocky smirk. “Kai, what do you say we make things more interesting for our dear opponents?”Kai’s brows rose in intrigue and a sly smirk slowly crept up his lips as his gaze flickered to Adrian and Blaze, then back to Lawrence. “I think that’s a splendid idea, boss. Let’s spice this challenge up a bit.”“Perfect, then,”’Lawrence clapped and turned to face Adrian and Blaze, but his gaze was particularly trained on Adrian. “Why don’t we make a little bet?” He tilted his head challengingly.Adrian and Blaze exchanged glances with each other, and Blaze shrugged. “It’s entirely up to you, master. I’ll go ahead with whatever you decide.”Adrian nodded hi

CHAPTER 231
Murmurs and hushed whispers erupted from the crowd at Adrian’s declaration and everyone began to wonder what would have given him the courage to say such.Julian Xu’s brows furrowed as he sized Adrian up from the podium. Adrian was wearing a black, silk untucked shirt and black slacks with a pair of white air force ones, looking more casual and unassuming than any other person in the hall.Was he dreaming? Julian thought as he watched the young man approach the front of the podium.Adrian didn’t pay any mind to all the comments as he strode towards Julian, his head held high and his hands tucked into his pockets.Lawrence Smith, on the other hand, was seething as his irises flickered wildly at Adrian, while Xavier Palmer and Nolan were wide eyed with disbelief.Nolan was the first to break the silence as he turned to Lawrence. “Mr. Smith, you have to do something!” He blurted out. “You can’t possibly let that loser challenge your position!”“Yes, Lawrence,” Xavier added with a frown.

CHAPTER 230
Adrian had overheard Nolan’s request for Lawrence’s help, and initially he paid no mind to it, but seeing as Lawrence had agreed, he became curious to see how things would play out. Especially since he had given specific orders for Sebastian not to be released without his permission.He observed quietly as Lawrence placed a call to his supposed friend. “Hello, Chief Legal prosecutor Rashford,” Lawrence greeted the person on the other end with a smile. “I have a favour to ask you.”“Lawrence Smith, my good friend. Long time no see,” the chief prosecutor responded with equal familiarity. “Of course, tell me what favour I can do for you.”Lawrence’s expression gleamed with hope. Maybe the chief prosecutor will be able to help afterall.“So the thing is,” he began, lowering his voice slightly. “I have a friend whose brother was thrown into Hades Prison. Is there any—”“Hades Prison?!” Lawrence’s chief prosecutor friend echoed, his voice pitched with shock. “No, no, friend. I’m afraid I w
