Adrian stood before two masked men and was surrounded by several guards, his eyes searching for Avery but he could not find a trace of her.“Look who we have here!” Jason smiled through the mask; he had been searching for a way to get to Adrian, and on a platter, he was handed over to him.“Look here, I did not come here to cause any trouble or fight. I just came to get Avery and I will be out of here as soon as I do” Adrian explained and tried to walk past them, seeing that there was no reaction from them, but Kelvin, who was trying not to speak so he wouldn't get found, stood in front of him.“You really got some nerves walking in here where you are outnumbered and think that you can just go inside, grab your woman and walk away”Jason, who understood why Kelvin had refused to speak, came in front of him. His hands still tucked were in his pocket like he had the entire situation under his control.But Adrian sniffed in; he could tell that Kelvin's scent was so familiar; Jason,
Avery let out a long sigh of relief as soon as she was inside the car. “thank you so much Klein for coming to my aid”She smiled brightly at him, but there were bruises on her face, and he could tell that she had been hit.“It alright Miss Avery, it is my job and I am so glad that you alright”“What about Adrian, are you going to leave him there?”“No, I am going to come back for him, but I need to take you out of here first because that is what he cares most about and I might lose my job if something should happen to you”“Still you should know that if you decide to take me out of here, he might be dead or hurt before you get back. Please go help him get out of there, I will be here and I promise you that nothing will happen to me”Avery bit her lower lips, there was anxiety in her eyes while she was tapping on her feet.“I am sorry, Miss Avery, but there might be other men around, and you might get hurt; please let me take you out of here first, and I will come back for him. Adrian
Jason pulled out his hand, projecting a strong pain on Adrian, yet Adrian remained steady fast, sending out those flames to him.Jason felt like he knew Adrian's limit; he was hoping that Adrian would get to his limit and then he would be able to strike properly, but instead. Adrian's eyes turned dark red, and as they did, he sent a large amount of flame to Jason's direction that threw him off the ground.As Jason stumbled on the floor, coughing out blood, and Kelvin hurried over to assist him just in time for the cops to storm inside. “Everyone freeze!” They ordered, but Jason knew that he had so much to do and could not let the cops get hold of him; he stared out the window, and in a swift moment, he quickly threw himself through the glass, but as he landed, a bullet pierced through his leg.Kelvin still had his face covered with the mask, his hands on the air knowing that escaping like Jason wasn't going to be an easy one for him.One of the detectives walks over to his side an
Adrian could feel his heart throbbing, the thought of losing Avery was about to shatter him. “You need to calm down, Adrian; I already told you that I am fine. Just get out of here!” “You are not fine. This is the second time something like this has happened before me and you expect me the believe that you are fine, I need to take you to the hospital”He insisted. Avery stared into his eyes deeply; she could tell that he wasn't going to give up on that s issue that easily.Avery grabbed his hand and started walking away from the crowd. While they did, Kelvin was handcuffed and dragged outside by the cops alongside his accomplice as they forced them to the car. “What is it Avery, talk to me please” “Yes I have indeed been getting nose bleed and dizziness but the hospital can't help me” “And what is that supposed to mean?” “I have been to several hospitals, several tests had been carried out, but they all came out the same. There is nothing wrong with me
Adrian arrived at Mr. Albert's home. He knew for sure that if he had to knock on the door, there was never going to be a response.The last time after Mr. Albert was shot, He told Adrian that he would be going into seclusion because it seemed to him that his powers were getting weak and he needed to recuperate.Because of that, Adrian made sure that he got a spare key to the house but as he twisted the door door and stepped inside, there was someone inside. “Bob!” Adrian called as his eyes popped out wide open. Bob was his colleague whom they had both learned cultivation in the hands of master together. Bob left after his cultivation, and after a year, he was presumed dead; his family found him and had to perform some burial rites in his name.Standing here before him all alone, Adrian was indeed curious because never did he think that he would see him ever again, but he was standing right before him; there were no bruises, and neither did he look like he had ever been in a tough
Adrian stared at the door and its environment one more time to make sure that no one was listening before he began.” it's Avery, she is sick” “If she is sick, then her family should take her to the hospital, why have you come to me like I am a doctor?” “Because I have this feeling that you know what is wrong with her. She has been bleeding from her nose. I found out from those who abducted her that she might lose her life because I have been tapping into her holy light all this while. Please tell me that it isn't true?”Adrian asked but Mr. Albert remained silent as he drifted his head elsewhere like he was not interested in the conversation. “From the expression on your face and the silence treatment that you are giving me, I can tell that you know something” “Just a piece of advice to you Adrian, do not consider her as someone that you should feel sorry for, but rather a vessel” “What! Did you just refer to her as a vessel, why would you even say such a thing or
When Avery and her father arrived back home, Avery was so exhausted that all that she needed was to take some drugs for her migraine and then get a good sleep.But Seth was in the large sitting room; he looked restless, and from the look of things, he had been waiting for her for a while now. “Avery!” He called out as he rushed over to her and embraced her so tightly that she could barely breathe. “Seth…. What are you doing here?” “I have been waiting for you for a while now, thank God that you are finally back home.” He expressed with so much relief in his voice but Avery pulled away and started walking away from them.“Avery, what is wrong with you? Can't you see that Seth is speaking to you!” Mr. Woods snapped but Avery rolled her eyes at him. “Dad please I have been through a lot these few days, it has just been from one problem to the other and now all that I need is some rest” “I clearly understand you, Avery, I have been searching everywhere for you to no
Adrian stared deeply at Avery and even while he did, there was so much going on in his head. Avery was a businesswoman who would do anything for her business; he could not tell, for she indeed loved him as she had always claimed to.But Adrian knew that if this plant and the bond between them didn't work, it was definitely going to cause a strain in their relationship. “Adrian, go ahead and speak. I have seen so much in my life and I think that whatever this is, I can handle it”She grabbed both his hands in an attempt to assure him, but Adrian did not feel so assured about it. “It is nothing something to be afraid of, I am just looking for the right words to put it” “Whatever this is, I don't need you to sugar-coat it, just go ahead and spill” “My master thinks that there might be a way to save you and stop whatever this is that is happening to you, but there is a plant that needs to grow for this plant to grow, it requires your blood and that of someone that you
