Chapter: CHAPTER 687"I need your help," Adrian said, his face a mask of iron determination. "I’m stopping that plane. Create a tornado with your staff and blow out the fire. Now!"Lyra didn't hesitate. She leaped into the sky, her feet barely touching the air as she rose like a bird. She began to spin her staff with impossible speed, creating a massive, swirling vortex of wind. The tornado roared upward, wrapping around the flaming engines. The vacuum of the wind choked the oxygen from the flames, snuffed out the fire in seconds.Inside the cabin, Richard looked out the window. Through the smoke, he saw what looked like a golden angel floating in the sky.Lyra landed back on the ground, breathing hard. "The fire is out, Adrian, but the plane is still falling! The engines are completely dead. It’s a dead weight now. How do we land it safely?""I'll handle it," Adrian said."What? How?" Lilith gasped."Watch," Adrian replied.Adrian began to run. He moved with a speed that blurred the world around him. As

Chapter: CHAPTER 687"Are you not supposed to be rotting behind bars?" Adrian growled into the receiver.Marcus let out a shrill, hysterical laugh that echoed with the sound of a man who had finally snapped. "No chain can hold me, Adrian! Not even you can stop me! You thought you were going to get rid of me just like that? You’re wrong! You will pay for the disgrace you brought to me! I will wipe your family and the Novida name off the face of the earth! You are, and will always be, a peasant to me.""If you lay hands on anyone," Adrian said, his voice dropping to a low, lethal vibration, "I will find you. And I will kill you. Slowly."Marcus laughed again. "You still don’t get it. You can't beat me. I will take you out one by one, starting with Lilith’s father. He’s the first sacrifice."Lilith grabbed Adrian’s arm, her eyes wide with terror. "What is he saying? Adrian, put it on speaker! Put it on speaker now!"Adrian hit the button. Marcus’s voice filled the tarmac. "Nothing much... just that there mig

Chapter: CHAPTER 686Richard reached into his pocket and handed Adrian a thick, matte-black business card with nothing but a gold embossed symbol on it. Without another word, he turned, got into his golden car, and his convoy roared to life, disappearing into the night like a fever dream.While the highway was silent, the local city prison was in a state of quiet chaos. Marcus Thorne sat in a cold holding cell, his broken nose bandaged and his expensive suit stained with blood. He was allowed one phone call."Hello? It’s me, Marcus," he hissed into the receiver."What happened?" a distorted voice answered on the other end. "You’re all over the news. They’re calling you a fraud. The stock is in the dirt.""Listen to me!" Marcus snarled, his voice cracking with desperation. "I need you to get me out of here immediately. Use your connections. Clear the path.""What? That’s impossible, Marcus. The Rhein Group is personally invested in your case. The President himself watched you get arrested. No one will touc

Chapter: CHAPTER 685"I have been around, Master Adrian," Richard replied, his golden suit shimmering as he took a slow step forward. "I have stayed under the radar. Clearly, you have not. I have been watching you from the corners of the world.""Why did you decide to come out of hiding now?" Adrian asked.Richard’s expression turned grim. "I went into hiding for my own safety, and I intended to stay that way. I thought you were doing the same, hiding behind the mop, playing the janitor. It was a perfect mask. But then you decided to announce yourself to the entire world tonight. Do you realize what you have done? You have turned yourself into a public target. Every predator on this planet now has your coordinates."Adrian let out a short, dry laugh. "Let them come. Anybody who tries to cross me is just signing their own death warrant.""Your father had the same bravado, Adrian. Do you see where it got him? He died in a cage, stripped of his dignity."Adrian’s jaw tightened, and his fists clenched at his

Chapter: CHAPTER 684Adrian’s face went stone-cold. He didn't offer a hand to shake. "I am not the one you should be apologizing to, Richard."Adrian turned his eyes toward Lilith. She stood with her chin held high, her eyes fixed on her father. For her entire life, Richard had never apologized to her. He was a man who believed his word was law, and his way was the only way.Richard turned to his daughter. "Lilith," he started, his voice cracking. "I’m so sorry for undermining your competence. You are a great leader, better than I ever was. Even when things were crumblin,g and your own father doubted you, you stood for what you believed was right. I underestimated you."He looked at the floor, unable to meet her gaze. "Even when I retire, I won't come back to Global Corp. I am convinced that you are all this company needs."Hearing those words, the very words she had craved since she was a child, almost moved Lilith to tears. But she held them back, maintaining her poise. "You see, Father? All you had to

Chapter: CHAPTER 683The gala continued, dignitaries, celebrities, and billionaires queued in a perfect, trembling line, stepping forward one by one to greet the new power couple of the industry. They shook Lilith’s hand with newfound respect, whispering congratulations, while their eyes darted toward Adrian with a mixture of terror and desperation.Everyone wanted a piece of the President. Cameras flashed like a lightning storm, but the Rhein Group guards were a wall of iron. They stood shoulder-to-shoulder, their dark sunglasses reflecting the glitter of the room, restricting access to any guest who tried to get too close to Adrian for a selfie or a business card.Through the crowd of elite snobs, a familiar figure emerged. Vanessa, still in her butler’s uniform, walked toward them. She looked at Adrian as if he were a creature from another planet, something magnificent and slightly frightening. As she approached, the guards stepped forward to block her path, their hands resting on their holsters.Adria

She turned to Lance, her voice laced with venom. “You’ve embarrassed her enough. I’m glad she’s free of you.”Elena’s lips curved into a mocking smirk, her tone as cold as steel. “I’m glad you see the truth, sis. This man is a worthless piece of trash. I only wish you’d realized it years ago… but at least it’s not too late.”Each word pressed harder against Lance’s composure, the weight of them almost unbearable.Then Georgia’s voice cut in again, harsher, sharper.“Now that you’ve heard it from Isabelle herself, why don’t you sign the divorce and get the hell out?”The room held its breath.Lance finally looked at Isabelle.

I should’ve known. These gifts have nothing to do with you, Lance.” She gestured dismissively at him as though brushing dirt from her gown. “Darren’s influence is the only reason such treasures are here.”Elena stepped closer, “Exactly.

No paint, no flaws, no hollow trick. Its eyes were twin Imperial Rubies — each larger and clearer than any gem the crowd had ever seen.“Those rubies alone are worth more than the entire Grayson estate…” someone whispered, voice trembling.The third stepped forward with a chest of heirloom jewels.

Then came the surge which felt like electricity, the force that seemed to awaken every cell in him. Power unlike anything he had ever felt began to course through his veins. It wasn’t just adrenaline; it was something supernatural. Nathan’s fingers twitched, curling into the dirt beneath him. Despite his wounds he felt zero pain. The darkened sky rumbled, thunder cracked, and the atmosphere was heavy as if the heavens themselves were about to witness what was about to happen. Nathan opened his eyes. They gleamed with an intensity they hadn’t held beforebefore, he staggered to his feet, and his fingers curled into a fist. The branch he had clung to was now in pieces beneath him, Nathanglanced upward, and his jaws tightened. Sebastian!!! Nathan didn’t need to think. He planted his foot against the rock wa

Not like this. Not today. The branch creaked remindinf him that time was running out. Nathan closed his eyes and he gritted his teeth as he tired to summon the strength to pull himself up. He could hear Sebastian’s cruel laughter above as he mocked him. The so called Almighty Lord Cloud was finally taken down by his own half brother. "Tell your son that his father was a coward..."

Sebastian, however, remained unmoved, he stood over Nathan with a grin on his bloodied face. "You really do not know when to quit, do you?" Sebastian taunted him. Nathan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. "I will never quit," he said in a hoarse voice. "Not until I’ve destroyed you." Sebastian chuckled darkly, he was amused by Nathan's arrogance. "Destroy me?" he repeated mockinghim. "You can’t even stand properly, Lord Cloud."
