Lawrence’s eyes were wide as he desperately stared at the soldiers in front of him. It was obvious he wanted to say something, but his words ended up sounding muffled and incoherent because of the duct tape on his mouth. When it became clear that speaking was impossible for him at this point, he turned to Kai and gestured his head towards the soldiers in an insistent manner. Kai got the silent message, and instantly shifted his attention to the soldier in front of him. “Did Jonah Leigh really put you up to this?” He asked carefully. The lead soldier, who was sitting a few seats away from the soldier facing Kai, twisted his mouth into a scowl. “Were you given the permission to talk?” He snapped. “One more word from you, and it’s the last thing you’ll ever say.” Kai’s jaw flexed and he slowly cracked his neck. Being talked to in such a manner was a big blow to his pride, and his anger began to rise to the surface. He desperately wished he still had his dark energy skill

Kai looked like he wanted to lash back, but the electrifying sting coming from his knee prevented him from gathering his thought process.Still, he was relentless. And when he finally managed to piece a couple of sentences together, his voice came out hoarse but defiant. “I’d rather die than beg you.”Adrian’s head tilted slightly and his eyes sparkled dangerously. “We’ll see about that.”Kai’s defiant glare never withered. “You just wait till I get back on my feet. I swear, I’ll destroy you!”Adrian raised a condescending brow. “Oh really? You’ll destroy me? With what hand?”Before Kai could grasp the meaning behind Adrian’s words, Adrian shot his palm outward with lightning speed.And with brutal force, he connected it with Kai’s left arm.The next thing that happened sent a shockwave of horror through the spines of everyone present.A crack resounded as Kai’s arm got dislocated from its ball-and-socket joint, and twisted almost all the way around. But Adrian didn’t allow the pain

Adrian stepped out of the warehouse after concluding on his decision regarding Lawrence Smith and Kai. His gaze instantly found the lead soldier standing next to their armored vehicle and he beckoned him over with a motion of his finger. “Take those men in there and dispose them in Hades prison,” he ordered in a tone of finality as the soldier came close. “Instruct the warden to ensure they receive the hardest labor possible. And under no circumstance, should they be let out. Ever.”The lead soldier nodded. “Rest assured, young master. I’ll ensure the warden understands your orders.”“Good,” Adrian gave him a curt nod before placing his hands in his pocket and striding over to his Lamborghini urus, which he had taken out from his luxury car collection after Nathan ruined his Audi with the stench of his urine.Just as Adrian was about to enter his car, Jonah who had been heading towards his own car, remembered what he had recorded between Robert and Liam Muller, and he quickly made

For what felt like the umpteenth time that day, Sir Edward’s expression morphed into one of shock. “Her own family did that to her?” He spat and fell back into his chair with an indignant sigh. “What’s going on in the world today? I hope that criminal is rotting in prison now?” “Not yet,” Adrian’s voice was grim. “I beat him to a pulp, and he fainted, so he’s been admitted to our hospital. But the minute he wakes up, he’ll face the full brunt of my justice.”Sir Edward shook his head, still reeling from the information. “What would have caused him to act so cruelly towards his relative?”“Power,” Adrian replied simply. “He was so hungry for his grandfather’s inheritance that he was willing to do anything to get it. Even when he didn’t deserve it.”“Ahh,” a glint of understanding flashed in Sir Edward’s eyes. “I see. Of course it’s power. It always is. It turns people into monsters, and not everyone should be allowed to handle it.”Adrian nodded in agreement with his father, and anot

After a few more hours of catching up with his father, Adrian pulled out of the middle aged man’s manor and headed towards the hospital to check up on Anita.As he drove, his mind wandered to the Mullers, and a slow smirk teased his lips.They’d have found out about their bankruptcy by now. He could almost picture their reactions; shock, anger, devastation, confusion, despair, desperation. And the thought only made his smirk widen.An idea formed in his mind at that moment and without hesitation, he picked up his phone from the console and dialed Rhea Smith, the vice president of the Alpha group’s number.Rhea answered on the first ring. “Hello, Young Master.”“Rhea, I need you to do something for me,” Adrian began with one hand maneuvering the steering wheel.Without waiting for her response, he continued. “Robert Muller will likely be coming to the Alpha group tomorrow. I suspect it’ll be in the morning. Ensure he’s let in. I’ll be there to meet him.”“O…Kay,” Rhea replied, though
