“What the heck?” He mumbled to himself as he immediately entered the arena, the particular number of people waiting in wait for him was almost double the total of the ones he had faced, yet he was to face them with a bleeding arm and a good one. The one thing that had him intrigued was the cages he caught with the side of his eyes, he had a feeling that the growls he had heard had emanated from those cages. It was as though every stage was different and more difficult than the last, Adam began thinking to himself if he was playing a video game in person that he didn't have any clue about, yet he cracked his shoulders and tilted his head sideways as he sized these brawny set up, Determined, and refusing to be deterred, he faced his numerous opponents, one of them had been gracious enough to give him a resounding round of applause with a mix of mockery and slight admiration on his face, “Welcome aboard Mr Adam, we have heard about you from far and near, and are privileged to have
“I hear you've been looking for me” Adam announced with his hands crossed, and smiled smugly at a livid Vance who after appraising Adam began to clap his hands, “I must say I'm impressed” pointing his finger at Adam he continued, “And that's saying a lot, as I'm rarely impressed by anyone or anything, but you've managed to do the impossible.” Spreading his arms wide, he smiled in a sick and disgusting way and went on, “Welcome to my lair Adam, it's a privilege to have you here!” finally noticing his wild pets behind Adam he stared incredulously at Adsm before recovering himself and commenting, “I see you brought company with you” Adam glanced around the room, and as he did he clenched his fist and breathed deeply, this seven-foot man before him was indeed a demon, unperturbed by the intimidating size of Vance, he raised an eyebrow as he glared at him, “Release all of them and no harm will come to you" Vance aka The Dragon immediately started laughing loudly, and in turn, maske
While Cyril had been speaking, Adam had an indifferent look on his face, yet he spared Cyril a glance, “Worry not about me Sir, I'm capable of handling my own battles” Cyril huffed and then rolled his eyes, he had tried his best to talk the stubborn man out of this foolhardy decision, Vance smirked at Adam before turning to Cyril and back at Adam, “I would say listen to him, but then there's no need because you haven't got any choice. You'll be minced meat for my animals when they are done with you” “Bring it in” Adam declared while still looking at Vance, Cyril felt he could at least try one last time to be the voice of reasoning, he didn't like Adam that much, but he still needed his help in healing him, if the guy was stubborn enough to die, it was to his detriment, He slowly slapped his bloody hand to his temple and shook his head, as he spoke once more, “Mr Adam, better escape while you can! These people aren't ordinary beings, they took out all of Amber’s men by themselve
Vance could hardly believe his eyes as he looked at the lifeless bodies of both his men. Viper and Viler had been so skilled in martial arts and other form of fights that no one could match them or come close, yet this man had managed to take them out without any stress, his mind was perturbed and he needed answers, but he had to play his game right if he was going to bring down this man. Lifting his head, he glanced at Adam and slowly released a breath. Violence didn't work, it was time to try trickery, “What is it you say you want?” ‘Your head on a platter’ Adam thought to himself, but didn't voice his thoughts out, “Release all of them, and we just might be even” Vance snapped his head back as he stared incredulously at Adam, Even? He had claimed there was no way he could be even with him, the dude had killed his father, his men, and his right-hand men! Yet he was talking about being even. With his arms crossed, he tilted his head sideways, studied Adam, and sneered, “Even, yo
After a harrowing journey through the maze, Adam emerged with Amber's weakening form cradled in his arms. Cyril and the guard following behind, carefully and diligently looking behind them, Vance and his vow was not to be trusted, As they exited the maze, Adam spotted his friend Adrien and his men waiting nearby with a convoy of cars, he had called him while they had been leaving, Adrien's face fell at the sight of Amber's pale, unconscious state. "Quickly, help me load her into the wagon," said Adam urgently. With Cyril and the guard's assistance, they lifted Amber aboard as carefully as possible. "What happened?" asked Adrien grimly as he took the reins. In short, clipped sentences, Adam recounted the confrontation with Vance and their narrow escape. Adrien swore under his breath. "That madman will stop at nothing. We must get Amber to safety." He activated the turbo, and they sped toward Amber's family estate. Throughout the journey, Adam did his utmost to care for Amber, but
Despite the storm that raged around him, Adam was extremely calm, as he continued attending to Amber, her pulse was totally weak and the electrocution had affected her system, she was practically numb. From where Elliot stood observing Adam work with precision, he glared at him with disdain, unable to hold his disdain anymore, he suddenly cried out, “There's no point wasting your time and ours! Your ineptitude and inexperience have cost us already, as well as cost Amber her life, just give up already!” “Elliot, if you don't zip it, I'll zip it for you and I'm not kidding!” Brandon, Amber’s brother whom Adam had been relieved to see out and about spoke up again, Adam was surprised to hear Brandon attack his cousin in his defense, considering how he had been the last time with the experienced doctor, Still, Adam didn't mention anything, and he ignored Eliiot’s useless talks and went on, Elliot’s statement and observation were insignificant, considering the life he was trying to save
Mason Rowland’s eyes kept darting between his nephew Elliot and Adam, one’s look was riled with guilt and the other with calmness that bordered on indifference, he hated being kept in the dark, although he appreciated Adam for all he had done for his family, a part of his was angsty and angry at the accusatory tone of Adam at his nephew, Maddened, Mason slowly but forcefully breathed out loud and then turned to face a calm Adam, “Mr Adam, if you have something to say, I suggest you say it now! I do not like nor appreciate your tone of voice. Despite his misgivings and little faults, my nephew is an upright man, a right-standing fellow, so such unfounded accusations should be backed by evidence!” Adam glanced at Mason’s direction before he scoffed, Elliot was more like a morally degraded and corrupt fellow, he was far from being an upright citizen. With newfound determination, he glanced at the said subject who seemed to be battling with different raging emotions, his entire face had
Amber let out a deep sigh and adjusted herself on the bed, with her father Mason propping her up, while Brandon hovered around her, Elliot stood in his corner sneering to himself with his head still bowed low, she spared a glance in his direction and disgust laced her eyes as she looked his way, “Elliot, I know for a fact that you've been wishing me death, I guess today isn't your lucky day because I'm not dying today” While she spoke, Mason’s head snapped up and he stared at her with a horror-filled face, “Amber!! How dare you?!” She lifted her eyes to her dad as she adjusted herself on the bed, propping herself up with both arms, “I dare Dad because it's the truth! I already told you all that Adam had spoken was the truth! What I do not know is if Elliot is also responsible for the assassination attempts in this family, I might not be entirely surprised if it turns out to be him” Elliot immediately lifted his face that had gone pallid and gazed at Amber, horror-struck, in his d
