As soon as Adrian was brought into the visitor’s room, Grandpa Hallow was so furious that he did not bother waiting for Adrian to sit down before smacking him hard.“How could you!” he yelled at the top of his voice, but despite how loud his palm had landed on Adrian’s back, he did not flinch or even make a sound.“You unfilial grandson of mine, you were a suspect in a case and was told to lay low, is this your definition of laying low, you go about causing more trouble for us, and now it is not just your sister who is on the internet but you have also joined her in tarnishing the family’s name!”He scolded him while Daniel stood silently behind him, there was no doubt that he was also disappointed in his son but did not say a word while Grandpa Hallow was still furious.“Grandpa, I know that I have disappointed you, but don't worry because I am going to get back at him”“Are you dumb, or didn't your foster parent send you through school long enough for you to know the kind of problem
Adrian was taken straight to his villa; he knew that he would not want to see his family, but neither would they want to set their eyes on him, considering how furious they were, so he did not bother going there.Adrian hurried straight upstairs, where he went ahead to have a warm bath, and while he was having his bath, an idea seemed to have struck him. Adrian hurried out of the bathroom with just his towel wrapped around his waist; Fred and Ted, who were downstairs with some snacks and their hands clicking through the computer, were stunned to see Adrian rushing towards them with just his underwear on.“Boss! What is going on?”“I need one of you to run down by the store and get me some vinegar, an idea just popped through my head”“Vinegar?” they both asked in unison as they stared at each other.“And does this vinegar involve getting evidence against Jason?”“No, but I think that I have been wasting much time all this while. There is a way for me to get what I want and I think tha
As soon as Ted and Fred were done forming the circle with the bottle of vinegar, which they totally emptied, Adrian sat right in the middle of the circle. “Get a sketchbook, I need you both to draw out whatever description I give to you” “Yes, Sir,” They nodded their head in response as they watched him shut his eyes with his palms wide open. As soon as he had furled his eyes, he stretched out his arms and whispered in some words to himself, and there was immediately a flame of fire on his hands. Ted and Fred immediately drifted backward in fear; they were stunned to see him holding a flame of fire and not reacting in any way to it. Adrian went further to connect to all of his powers and the powers of nature around him and as he drifted further. Several forces were trying to block his path, but Adrian knew that it was the vinegar that was preventing them from attacking him. The moment he was in the spiritual realm, the first thing that he had set his eyes on was his master lying
Jason stood before the dark figure, his entire body was covered with a back hoodie. Jason had always been curious about the fact behind the hoodie but did not dare look.“What is so important that you dare summon me?”“You are standing before the sanctuary, and you tell me that you have found the key. Is that true?”“Yes master”“Bring it over, that I may place my hands on it!” He ordered and as soon as he did, the smile on Jason's face immediately disappeared.“I apologize Master, but I do not have the key right here with me”“Where then have you placed it?”“I have not been able to retrieve it.” Jason was about to explain further, but the strange man narrowed his gaze at him. His gaze was dark, and while Jason had looked into those eyes briefly, there was no form of human eyes that he was able to capture; all he had seen there was darkness.“Jason! Your servant of the sanctuary, why have you lost your way? You stand before me to say that you haven't retrieved the key, and yet you s
Jason parked outside the Maxton corporation, his eyes glancing at his phone from time to time.He could see Seth walking over to his car dressed in a casual outfit. Jason knew that wasn't the outfit that Seth would choose for work, and he could tell that he wasn't back to normal since the whole marriage was canceled.“Whatever this is about, it better be important because I don't have a lot of time on my hands”Seth expressed as he walked up closer to him; there were traces of sweat on his forehead, which wasn't something he would expect from someone who had been inside the air conditioner all day.“You look shabby, Seth, and that is not something that I see around you; what is going on?”“What do you expect when Adrian has ruined my wedding with Avery, now it seems like I might fail in my task and while it is your task to get rid of him, I do not see you doing a good job at it”“Oh, you should be worried about your task and not mine. I summoned the sanctuary today”Jason blurted out
Adrian had both his legs wrapped around each other while seated on the floor with both his eyes shut.He had heard so much about this key and yet he knew nothing about it or how he would be able to retrieve it.“How is it going?” Klein, who had been seated there all this while with a bottle of beer in his hand, asked,d, seeing how Adrian sighed in frustration.“I can't seem to have gotten anything. I have tried connecting with my powers but the thing is I don't even know what this power looks like or what I should be looking for”“Then since you don't know what you are looking for, how about you stop and then we can channel that energy into finding a way to get away from this lawsuit that you just got us involved”“Yeah, the Wesley corporation has the best lawyers in town who graduated from Harvard and yet they are not able to get me through this case”He sighed and then continued. “I have a lead on the case to prove that Jason was the one that had abducted me, but while I was trying
At the large conference hall were seated twelve board members. Adrian stared around the hall, but there was no sign of Kelvin in there.“Where is he?” Adrian turned to his father at the door.“I have no idea, he is not here yet but I am shocked as to how these men all arrived immediately after he called for the meeting, I feel like they had been informed beforehand and it was just the both of us that was kept on the loop”Daniel explained as he sighed.“What about Uncle Sean?” “I called him, but he reminded me that he did not want to have anything to do with the company”“Why would he say such a thing? He has a share in the company and should still consider himself a part of it. Doesn't he realize what is going on?”Adrian was hoping not to feel frustrated while pouring out his suggestion.“I tried explaining these to him, but he thinks that Kelvin is a boy and I should be able to handle him. If I am been sincere right now Adrian, you have been neglecting your duties to the company w
They all listened to Kelvin speak even while Daniel and Adrian had been silent all this while, they could tell that most of the board members were considering Kelvin's words.“Mr. Kelvin!” One of them spoke, that was Mr. Drake who is very close to Kelvin and only a few years older than Kelvin.“You have just pointed out a few important points which I must say that we all have taken notes of it. It is no secret anymore that Mr. Adrian is not capable of the task which is handed to him in this company; in fact, he has not a single experience of running such a huge corporation and, as such, is not fit to take over.”He concluded and then took his seat but briefly exchanged a look with Kelvin, who looked so cold.“So what do you all suggest is done?” Daniels's voice came through; he sat on the large armchair that was swiveling around the office, a call domineering expression on his face like he had no idea that the company was just about to be taken away from them.“We are suggesting that
