Adam stared in horror at the unveiled people before him, unable to believe his eyes, with wide eyes, he turned to a smirking and smug Vance who only grinned in return, his eyes glinting with mischief,Vance spread his arms wide and declared,“Ta-da!!!!”Adam all but shook his head at his antics, before he responded in a calm voice, keeping his face and body posture straight,“What's all of these supposed to mean?”Vance on the other hand, shook his head as well, and winked at Adam,“I do hope you like my surprise, my good friend. Meet the mother of your child and her mother. What a wonderful surprise, I must say”Adam expelled a breath, while his eyes darted between a pregnant Louisa, Cecil, and a smug Vance,“It's a happy reunion, or don't you think so my good friend?”Vance questioned with a twinkle in his eyes, Adam rested his eyes on Vance, the dude was indeed a sick bastard.It was hard to imagine or to describe what he felt at this moment as he stared at Vance with unblinking ey
Adam gazed intently at her and opened his mouth, his voice calm yet laced with a cold edge, he finally spoke, addressing Cecil first, "It's interesting, isn't it, Cecil? How the tables turn. All those years of disdain and now here we are, now you dare to ask me to save your life and even dare to refer to me as your Son? Have you forgotten so soon?"Cecil's face paled, her earlier bravado dissolving, her lips trembled and she shut her eyes, tears seeping out of it as Adam's gaze bore into her. She tried to speak, to beg further, but the words seemed to catch in her throat, only managed to squirm on her toes.Adam ignored her, and her silent self as he faced Louisa, the woman he had sworn to love all his life, the woman he had hoped to spend his newfound wealth with,Turning his attention to Louisa, Adam's expression softened slightly, but the hurt was evident in his eyes, and they darkened as he gazed upon her,"And Louisa, after everything, why should I save you? You made your choice
As William Bates was dragged into the arena, Cecil's demeanour shifted dramatically; She went from a state of fear to one of misplaced arrogance,"Ha!" She exclaimed loudly, standing taller, as if William's presence had suddenly granted her strength and invincibility, a wide smile spread across her face as he was brought in, and she looked at Adam’s way and sneered at him, before looking at Williams with a smug smile, "My darling son-in-law is here now. Nothing can touch me!" Her voice was loud, filled with a brash confidence that seemed out of place amidst the tension.Adam watched this transformation with a wrinkled nose and curling lips, his eyes extremely cold as he glanced at her, his look was a mix of surprise and disgust as he stared at Cecil,The same woman who had been pleading for mercy just moments ago was now sneering at him as if he were nothing. He could only roll his eyes in response, disbelief colouring his every feature, as he shook his head.William, on the other h
Everyone on the pit including Vance, went completely still, Louisa’s and Amber’s mouths were even slightly opened, no one could believe what was before them,Williams, who was still on the floor shaking terribly, and expecting the deadly blows that never came, lifted his head slightly to see Adam had prevented the blow, and his eyes bulged out of the socket, just as his mouth fell open. It was disbelieving to see that Adam was almost fighting for him.Cecil was the first to recover as she took it all in, with squinting eyes and scrunched eyebrows, she yelled at Adam in a disbelieving voice,“You fool!!! Are you out of your senses or what?! It's as though you have a death wish! Don't you?!” she yelled at Adam while eyeing him with disdain, Louisa on the other hand, watched in horror, her expression mirroring that of her fallen husband, she had seen Adam fight since his release from prison, but his audacity at this moment was outstanding and foolhardy, everyone could see the Vance and
Vance let out a light chuckle and winked at Adam, and then he went on, speaking and gesticulating, "As you've so eloquently put it, I play with lives, so let's up the stakes, shall we? Ladies and gentlemen…" Vance paused for effect, his eyes glinting with malevolence, "I give you someone whose life you've been intertwined with more than you'd care to admit..."Vance's cruel laughter echoed throughout the tense arena. Adam's frown deepened, a vein throbbing in his temple as his patience grew thin, he already had a feeling who Vance was referring to, and he was at his wits end, he needed the drama to be over and done with.Amber glared daggers at Vance, her fists clenched so tight her knuckles turned white, he eyes and face were reddened, she ached to thrash Vance to her satisfaction, "You sadistic monster," she spat through gritted teeth. Inside, her heart ached for Adam and what more torture this man planned to inflict, even if she could see Adam was unmoved, she still ached for t
Adam arched his eyebrows at him and ignored Vance's goading and focused on his opponents. He rolled his shoulders, limbering up his muscles. Though outnumbered, he remained calm and centered within. Amber watched Adam, awestruck by his composure under such pressure, "He may just surprise them yet," she said quietly to Adrien beside her, who only shrugged in response, he was rooting for his friend, while calculating in his brain how he could be of help, both of Adam’s opponents, were two formidable forces with track records.Where Amber and Adrien were pacing, with eyebrows drawn together, Cecil and Williams had similar smirks and satisfied looks on their faces; they couldn't wait to watch the end of Adam and watch it with all gladness. To add fuel to the fire, Cecil opened her mouth to attack Adam,“Stupid man, you think you can fight this heavyweight champion?? You'll be dead before you even start!” Cecil, mocked from where she was, her eyes dancing with happiness.Louisa had her e
Adam struggled against Juggernaut's iron grip, each breath more laboured than the last. His face turned red with exertion as he tried to pry the giant's arms apart, "Is this all you've got?" Juggernaut taunted, his voice rumbling like thunder.From the sidelines, Vance laughed, watching with shining eyes,"Finish him, Juggernaut! Show him no mercy! Show him why no one has ever been able to beat your record, show him the stuff you're made of!”Adam ignored Vance’s words, and as he focused on his racing mind, he needed a strategy, and fast. In a desperate move, he stomped hard on Juggernaut's foot. The giant bellowed in pain, his grip loosening just enough for Adam to slip free."Not so fast!" Adam gasped, spinning around to face his colossal opponent. He knew he couldn't out-muscle Juggernaut, so he would have to outsmart him.Juggernaut charged like a mad bull, but Adam dodged at the last second, using the giant's momentum against him. "You're going to have to do better than that!" A
Adam stared at Vance, aka the dragon as though he was mere dust, Vance’s flushed face had gone pallid, and the dragon had become a mere snake that he could crush with his boot, as he looked at the former dragon, he wondered where the boastful and scheming man had disappeared to,It was ironic that he was pleading for his life, the very person that had threatened his, he chuckled a little and arched his eyebrows at the former dragon,“Why should I spare your life? Tell me, give me one good reason”Vance the former dragon with his pallid face grated his teeth subconsciously, he didn't like what his persona had been reduced to, he who was the greatly feared and revered dragon, him who had murdered thousands and whom government officials trembled before his presence, if word ever got out about this he would be made a laughing stock.He gulped loudly as he kept his gaze on Adam, his entire eyes going white as he spoke. On second thought, he felt it was much better to die than to beg for hi
