After the emotional moment between both brother and sister, Freya finally pulled away from him as she sniffed through her nose and it felt like she was only perceiving the stenches of garbage now. She had been so excited to reunite with him all this while that she had failed to take note of how dirty and unkempt he looked.
“Why do you smell of garbage, has the Smith family been treating you off wrongly?” She inquired but he barely had to put a smile on his face, Adrain did not want to retaliate against the Smith family but he knew that telling her every single detail about what he had been through there was going to make her more furious. Over the last eighteen years that he lived there, he had constantly been reminded of the fact that he was an adopted child and was only permitted to eat the leftovers after their meals, at first Adrain was not so happy about this because he wanted to be loved the same way Finn was loved, but after he started his spiritual cultivation trying to reach the highest level of cultivation which he had failed to, none of that mattered to him again. “What is going on down there!” A tiny female voice spoke from the helicopter, calling Adrian back to reality. “Freya, we need to leave now, other residents around is watching and it is getting a lot busier!” She went ahead to alert Freya who finally took out time to stare at her surroundings environment. Guess the sound of the helicopter had caught all of their attention and as they watched the scene unfold, they were so amazed and most of them had their eyes filled with admiration. “Oh! Adrian, I think that it is time for us to leave, else we are just going to get surrounded by a much larger crowd and then it is going to be difficult to escape” Adrian nodded his head and followed her towards the helicopter and as he stood there, he could finally get a clear glimpse of the lady inside the helicopter. She is a vision of loveliness with beauty that radiates within her. Her dark blue eyes were sparkling but more than the physical beauty that she possessed, Adrian could not believe his eyes. She was pure sparkling and wrapped in holy light all over her body. His eyes widened and his jaws dropped tensely while he stared at her. Although during his training with his master, Adrian had heard of a few that possessed God's holy light but never imagined that it shine smoothly while staring at it and even that instant, he could feel the amazing power within her. Freya who was expecting Adrian to go inside the helicopter noticed that he had frozen right there while staring at the lady in the car, she could not help but find it funny thinking that her brother had fallen in love at first glance. “Is she also my sister?” Adrain asked, but Freya seemed to have gotten the wrong impression because he was only attracted to her ‘holy light', and knowing that it would help in his s cultivation, he hoped that he could practice with his sister's holy light. But Freya shook her head at him. “No, she is not our sister, she is a very good friend of mine, and all of this helicopter that you see right was borrowed from her because she controls one of the four powerful families” Freya carefully explained to him, and Adrian went ahead to approach her. There was a flicker from within only he could feel, he had been rejected by the holy light and could not go closer to her. There was a pang of disappointment in him while he pulled backward, he was hoping that he could finally be able to reach the highest level of cultivation if he should practice with holy light but did not expect to get rejected. Even while the helicopter fled off, Adrain was in a moment of dismay as he thought of the few reasons the holy light rejected him, perhaps it thought that he had an ulterior motive for approaching in such a manner, or could it be that his cultivation had been contaminated in some certain way. He thought to himself and even while he went ahead to think of several reasons that could have mounted to this, he could not wrap his head around it. As the helicopter left the surrounding residents, they were all in shock that the mistreated son of the Smith family turned out to be from a prestigious family. They all gathered around to discuss it like it was a matter of importance. “Does this mean that the Smith family finally gets to rise through this?” One of the residents spoke to the other in total bewilderment of what had just unfolded right before their eyes. “Or perhaps this might turn out to become their misfortune remember that he was never treated fairly and if only the Smith family knew of his true identity all this while, perhaps they wouldn't have treated him the way they did” “But I still think that he might forget about all of the bad things they did to him and help them raise to fortune m, after all, they are the ones that had raised him for eighteen years” other residents went ahead to suggest again but the previous lady refute her saying; “I do not think that is possible, do you understand how badly he was treated, he saved their son's life Finn from death but when he had a terrible accident that almost took his life, none of them cared about him or even bothered to check up on him at the hospital to find out if he was still alive or dead, rather Mrs. Eleanor quickly threw off his things away and went ahead to celebrate their son's birthday” She explained vividly and the rest of the residents lowered their heads and shook it while they let out a long sigh, no doubt that they were all curious about how things were going to turn out. Just then, the car of the Smith family drove off, no doubt that they were heading to the Wesley mansion inside the car were an arrogant mother and her son of the smith family who could not wait to table out her request to the Westley family as soon as she got there.After flying for a while, they were finally arriving at the luxurious city villa. The Wesley family’s mansion is located in the villa area at the center of the city not to mention that it is the most elite neighborhood in the entire city. Adrian stared down from the helicopter and was indeed amazed by the beautiful scenery, environment for him, this was indeed the most beautiful place that he had ever been to not to mention the fact that it was heavily guarded, housing the city’s most affluent people which was why the smith family desired so much to live there because they knew that if that was ever possible, then they would finally become members of the elites of the city. “Adrian, before we get over to the mansion, I think that I need to explain to you everything that you need to know about the Wesley family. First, there is Grandpa Hallow, you have nothing to worry about because he is very kind and treats you like family. But then the family is large and very complicated, we have
Sarah seeing the silence that befalled the large living room and the sharp gaze that everyone had on her, did not realize her mistake, with a deep frown on her face and her mouth pouted out, she still went ahead to speak. “There is no way that he is going to make use of that room. We all know how much that room means to Kelvin and his puppet and you are just going to take it away from him, there is no way that I am going to allow that to happen, there are more rooms in this estate, so you should go ahead and find another room for him, because he is not having that!” She wrapped both her hands together as she insisted, her words were firm and for her, she did not care about the disdainful glare that lingered around her. “Will you shut up your mouth!” Theo’s deep voice roared, no doubt that he was furious at the words that his daughter had just spoken. “Don't you have respect for the Elders of this family, how can you speak so carelessly in front of everyone, your brother Adrian just
Adrian and his sister strode over to the garden. It was a large and beautiful garden and with just the both of them, the scenery felt more peaceful. “Freya, thank you for standing up for me today” When he expressed himself, he was indeed grateful because Adrian had grown up alone and learned to stand up for himself because there was never anyone who did that for him, but with Freya, he felt her love for him so sincere. “Why are you thanking me? We are family and not to forget the fact that I am your older sister, I will always have your back even if it means against the world. Adrian I am going to be with you until you learn to stand firmly on your own '' when she expressed those words, she gently ruffled her hand through his hair and at that moment, Adrian was deeply moved, because he never imagined that he could feel this kind of love towards a family member. They both began to chat, but it was just a light conversation about how beautiful the garden was. “This garden belongs to g
Even though Freya had arrived at the scene, it did not stop Mrs. Smith from speaking so loudly against Adrian, it felt like she wanted Freya who just arrived at the scene to comprehend what was going on. “You worthless human, after everything that I did for you, this is how you pay me and now you have the gut to step your foot into the Wesley estate, what for, so that you can you can inflict them with your bad luck the same way that you tried to ruin my family, I am never going to let that happen, not under my watch!” “And I am saying this to you that is enough else I am going to be forced to ask you to leave here” “Are you being delusional, who are you to think that you can ask me to leave, rather it is you who does not deserve to be here and will have to leave right now” Mrs. Smith was becoming more and more furious that it was so difficult for her to endure it, she raised her hand to smack him, but Adrian immediately stopped her before it got to his face. This only made Freya mo
Mr. Daniel and his daughter Freya were extremely shocked by the woman’s behavior as they both stared at each other in utmost dismay, Daniel couldn't recall the last time that he met a woman that was this foolish. But Adrian on the other hand was not angry about the things that he said because she was used to it, what he was more angry at was the fact that she dared slander him in front of his family whom he hadn't seen in years, and as he stood there watching her belittle him, he could recall those times when she would tell his teachers and classmates at school that he was a bad kid and that gave him a bad impression at school. “Mother shut up! Haven't you had enough, isn't it enough that you chased me out of your home in the middle of the night?” Adrian roared at the top of his voice, and just then, he could hear another voice that simultaneously yelled out the same time as he did and Mrs. Smith was indeed surprised by this sudden reaction. “Shut up! How dare you, you know I was so
Kelvin seeing that Sarah was down and in a bad mood after being scolded by the family decided to take her outside on a walk hoping that would calm her down and she would finally lighten her mood.But even as they walked around the large estate, Sarah still had a deep frown on her face while she went ahead to complain. “I can't believe that Uncle Daniel and Freya would be so biased for Adrian who they just met over you, how could they expect you to give up your room which you have used for years over some smelly guy from the trash, who is so unfair and I am so angry at the way that they treat you over you”“It is fine Sarah, I don't mind being treated unfairly and besides he is the son and the heir to the corporation, what do you expect?” Kelvin responded with a smile on his face, but beneath that smile, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.“I do not approve of him becoming the heir to the corporation, you have worked so hard for years and sacrificed everything for this family,
Adrian on the other hand, despite the humiliation that he was receiving, did not seem like he was going to give up any moment from now. He took a few steps closer to Mrs. Sophia before he continued.“Ma, you seemed to have stolen the fortune of the Wesley family!” Adrian announced coldly as the entire members of the family immediately turned their gaze at Sophia. She was no doubt stunned at this brutal accusation against her, she lifted her hand and was almost on her knees.“Please young master, I do not know why you would label such an accusation against me, but I have never stolen anything from Wesley since I started working here. Everyone in this mansion has been so good to me, why would I go as far as trying to ruin that relationship? Please you all need to believe me, I haven't taken anything”She pleaded, but the family did not seem to have believed her. Except for Sarah who got angry at this accusation and quickly stood up for her.“I can't believe that you all will choose to b
Sarah immediately stepped in, interrupting the entire interrogation again. “ I still do not think that such an enigmatic stone is capable of stealing our fortune!”“Step aside Sarah, because right now, no one cares about what you think!” Freya immediately interrupted her before she could say her next words and then Daniel's voice came through.“Mr. White!” He called on the butler who immediately scurried forward. “Apprehend her and have her lock her, for the rest of you, I need you all in the living room so we can discuss this issue with Grandpa!”He ordered and started walking away side by side with Adrian. Once the entire family was seated in the living room there was a tense air in the living room, because most of the Wesley family did not have an idea of such a thing and to them, it felt bizarre.they carefully explained the entire event to Grandpa Hallow who was indeed astonished by Adrian's knowledge of things like this.“Adrian I must say that this is truly impressive, how in
Kelvin remained standing, although he soon did not feel comfortable about his actions, yet he remained calm. “Whatever it is that you have to say, be quick with it and leave as soon as possible, I told you the last time that we met that I do not want to have anything to do with the underworld again”“The sanctuary was burnt down” Jason suddenly blurted, ignoring what Kelvin was ranting about.“That is a joke right?” Kelvin asked with a soft chuckle that escaped his lips. “The sanctuary is filled with supernatural items, there is no way that he would burn down no matter what they did, which is why I think that this is a joke”“You think that I will drive all the way to your house in the middle of the night just to crack jokes with you. You are right in some aspect, the sanctuary can't burn down with just natural flames unless it is one with the power of the flames”Jason explained as Kelvin thought about it for a while and could not seem to comprehend what it meant.“Look here Jason, I
Jason opened his eyes as he felt his head banging with pain. He hasn't been without his powers for a long time now and without it, he felt so weak that it was killing him.His eyes trail around the basement as he realizes that he is all alone in there. All members of the Smith family were gone, and with his head pounding with pain, he raised his arm to touch his head and realized that there were traces of blood,d, which was the source of the pain.Jason exhaled softly before he sat upright, filled with regret as to how he had let his guard down. Just while he was still trying to get a grasp of himself, he stared at his phone and realized there were ten missed calls and fifteen messages from his right-hand man.“Fuck!” he cursed, rising to his feet, and despite how weak and sour he felt from the pain and beating he had received, he still hurried away from the apartment.He got into his car and sped off, arriving at the scene where all the men had been lined up and waiting for his arriv
First, they were reluctant to accept the food as they had no idea what sick games he was trying to play. Mrs. Smith stretched out her arm to grab one of the meals that was carefully packaged in a takeout, but her husband immediately stopped her before turning his attention to Jason. “Mr. Jason, why have you brought us this food, is that the way you want to have us killed?” Mr. Smith asked but Jason chuckled so loud that one would think there was not a hint of danger around him. “Poison you, I mean that is an insult to me, if I want you dead, there are just several ways that I would do it and I might not even have to lift a finger, why would I go through the stress of having you poisoned” He explained and knowing how powerful he was, they thought that he was right. “If that is not the case, then why have you brought food to my family when I know that you are going to end up killing us after these” Mr. Smith asked, and this time, Jason, who seemed to be losing his patience, f
Jason was filled with rage when he arrived at the sanctuary; so many members had all burned down, and those who had survived were barely recognized, not to mention the items they had lost.“Boss! What are we going to do now?” His right-hand man, who had called him on the phone when all of this started, asked.“Where were you when the fire started and why couldn't you put it off with your powers?” Jason scolded, he was so angry that he badly needed someone he was going to take out his anger on.“I am sorry Boss, I tried my best, but the fire was no ordinary one, it was Adrian's flame, and no matter what I did, it wouldn't stop instead it just kept getting worse”He explained. Jason's face had turned red, with bulging veins from his forehead like twisted ropes; his eyes were blazing with fury that his right-hand man had to drift backward for fear of what he might do to him.“Adrian….” He groans with his fist clenched. “You have done so much, and I think that it's time to get my revenge;
The entire family was silent for a long while like they were expecting Kelly to do the talking. Tears trickled down her cheek while she thought of what to say and yet she could not think of any.“Kelly! You heard what my uncle just asked you and we really would like to know, how can we be certain that you are not lying to us and this is not part of some sort of sick game from Jason which you are just involved in?”Adrian went ahead to imply with Avery still seated next to him.“I don't know how else I can prove myself to you all, better still, you can send someone to go and check on the Smith family, you will find them locked up in the basement and then you will realize that what I am saying is the truth”She assured them, this time, there was a hint of combination in their face as they thought about it and the possibility that it might indeed be true.“Adrian, what do you think?” Grandpa Hallow sought his opinion, but after the conversation that he had earlier today with Klein, Adria
The car came to a halt right at the parking lot of the Wesley estate, with Adrian hurrying inside. In the living room were Grandpa Hallow, Daniel, Uncle Sean, Uncle Theo, Aunt Amelia, Claire, Sarah, and Freya. Avery stood at the door; she had always been finding it difficult to get along with the family and thought that she should take it slowly.There was the visitor whom Avery had spoken about on the phone, which was Kelly. Kelly sat on the single couch; she looked unkempt, her hair disheveled, and Adrian could barely recognize her as he walked in.“Kelly?” he asked, his eyes scanning around her, yet he did not forget to give Avery a gentle kiss before he turned to Kelly.‘Kelly, is that you?” he asked again; it was so hard for him to believe that this was truly her and how possible she had lost so much weight. Kelly lowered her head with a shy smile; she knew that she wasn't at her best, which only made her more embarrassed that she couldn't look him in the face.“How have you been
.Adrian stormed the sanctuary alongside thousands of soldiers and police. He stood outside with Klein standing next to him as he watched them burn the place down; although there were several members inside, he didn't care; he wanted them burned alongside the building.“After this, what next?” Klein asked, seeing the fury that swept through his face. He had never seen his boss this angry, and he knew that after the encounter with the dark master, something had changed within him.“I am going to find every other member left and I am going to have them killed, they hurt my family too much and I will be a fool to let them get away with it and I am going to be starting with Kelvin who seems to be on the run”“What about Jason? You do know that he is still alive, right?” asked, his face glued to Adrian like he was trying to take in all of his emotions.“I took away all of Jason's powers, he won't be able to do much now” There was shock on Klein's face for a breath moment before he asked;“
Finn, alongside the rest of his family, could feel their throat dry; Kelly could clearly hear the heartbeat of the others, and given how hungry she was, if she had the opportunity, she was ready to eat them alive.After Jason had left, he wanted to kill Kelly, but given how much Finn had pleaded with him, he finally decided to punish the entire family by locking them up in the basement of their apartment with no food or drink, and no matter how much they screamed, no one would be able to hear them.And as a result of that, the family blamed Finn for bringing Kelly into their home.“There were other girls from other wealthy families that you could have met with and taken our family from this burden that has been resting on our head, instead you chose a girl like her who has come to ruin her”“Come on Mom, don't put the blame on her, it is not her fault, you were the one who insisted that Dad worked with Jason even when Adrian was ready to help us for no cause”Finn sighed, he was getti
Adrian, along with Avery and Klein, all rose to their feet as they watched the men storm out of there. First they were afraid as they had no idea what other crimes they might have committed until Mr. Daniel alongside his daughter and Mr. Woods stormed out of the car.“DADDY!” Avery yelled at the top of her voice as she rushed over to him, she had never been this happy to see him like this before. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and tears filled her eyes.“Daddy…. I was so scared, I never thought that I would ever get to see you again”“Me too. When I heard about what was happening, I blamed myself for neglecting you, if something had happened to you, trust me when I say that I wouldn't have been able to live with myself”The older man could not hold back the tears that formed in his eyes as he embraced his daughter with a heavy heart. Daniel and Freya stood before Adrian, their eyes scanning around him with so many questions in their heart as they were reluctant to engage
