CHAPTER 221
Mr. Sylvester didn’t blink. “I want to see your resignation letter on my desk first thing tomorrow morning,” he said coldly. “You are unfit to hold any public office.”The senator’s wife fell to her knees again, sobbing, her voice shrill and desperate. “We’ll do anything! Please! Don’t ruin us!”The principal was not spared, he was also dragged away.But Adrian stood there, unmoved, his face unreadable.He didn’t say a word.The officers dragged the couple away until they faded completely.The entire playground seemed to exhale all at once.No one dared to speak.Even the children stared in awe at the man who had just brought down a senator without lifting a finger.Sophia finally broke the silence. She turned to Adrian, her brows furrowed in disbelief.“How do you know the minister?” she asked softly.Before Adrian could speak, Mr. Sylvester stepped forward with a polite smile, saving him from the question. “He helped me out a long time ago,” he said quickly. “I’m only repaying a fav
CHAPTER 222
“Good,” Rowan said, his tone heavy. “My old friend, Derrick has fallen sick. It’s bad. The doctors are saying they need help… I trust Adrian will know what to do.”Sophia straightened, alarm flickering across her face. “We’ll be there immediately,” she said, then ended the call.Adrian, noticing the tension in her expression, asked. “What happened?” Sophia turned to him. “My Grandfather's friend Derrick. He’s sick and is in critical condition. We need to be at Central Hospital right now.”The car tore through the city streets and within minutes, they pulled up to Silver City Central Hospital. Adrian parked without a word, and they hurried inside.“Thank goodness you’re here,” Rowan said, his deep voice trembling as soon as they entered the room. On the bed lay Derrick, the man Rowan had spoken of.He used to be a very strong figure despite his age. But now his skin was pale and his breathing shallow, and the skin around his eyes was dark. Adrian’s sharp eyes quickly scanned the m
CHAPTER 223
Sophia’s heart pounded as she stepped closer to Adrian. Her eyes searched his face, half afraid of what she might see there.“Adrian… are you sure of what you’re saying?” she asked softly, her voice trembling with disbelief.Adrian’s expression remained calm, unreadable. He looked at Derrick’s frail body, then back at her. “There’s only one way to find out,” he said quietly.He reached into his black leather bag and carefully pulled out a small vial.The liquid inside had a red-golden colour.It seemed as if the medicine was alive.The room was suddenly filled with a strange, subtle hum, as if the air itself recognized its power.For a moment, no one spoke.Then chaos erupted.The lead doctor’s face twisted with outrage. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” he barked. “You expect us to believe that glowing nonsense will cure him?!”Another doctor threw up his hands. “This is insane! You’ll kill him before the cancer does!”“This isn’t some village ritual!” one of them snapped, his tone shar
CHAPTER 224
Derrick’s fingers twitched and his eyes slowly fluttered open Derrick's family finally arrived at the hospital and his wife screamed immediately she entered the room. “Derrick!”She rushed to his bedside, tears spilling down her face. “Oh my God! You’re awake! What happened?”Derrick blinked, dazed. His voice came out weak but steady. “I… I don’t know. I feel… lighter. Like something heavy was pulled out of me.”Before anyone could speak, the doctors stormed forward, their faces red with anger and disbelief.“Don’t touch him!” the lead doctor snapped. He jabbed a finger at Adrian. “You! You nearly killed him! He went into cardiac arrest because of your stupid experiment!”Another doctor added, “He’s lucky to even be breathing! You could’ve destroyed what little time he had left!”Adrian’s calm gaze met theirs. “Destroyed?” he said quietly. “You’re wrong. He’s cured.”The room fell still again, and then the doctors erupted into laughter.“Cured?” the lead doctor sneered. “That’s impo
CHAPTER 225
Sophia said nothing, she only watched Adrian, her eyes filled with a quiet storm. Every time she thought she understood him, he revealed another layer, another impossible miracle. The doctors stood frozen by the doorway, pale and sweating. Adrian turned toward them slowly. “I expect your resignation letters to reach the Board of Medical Practitioners before the end of the day,” he said. “I’ll be calling them myself to make sure.” The lead doctor’s face drained of all colour. “P-Please,” he stammered, taking a hesitant step forward. “We were wrong. We were blind—” Another doctor dropped to his knees. “Sir, forgive us! We didn’t know! Please, let us stay. We’ll learn from you" "In fact, we will serve you for the rest of our lives if we must!” Adrian’s eyes were cold. “You mocked me and now you want mercy?” They all knelt now, the same men who had laughed at him moments ago. Adrian’s eyes hardened. “You are not worthy to serve me,” he said. “You mocked what you couldn’t c
CHAPTER 226
Gasps filled the air.A squad of suited security men stormed in, forming a line as a tall figure walked through them.Marcus Kane.The infamous CEO of Kane Pharmaceuticals, one of the world’s largest drug empires.A man known for his ruthless ambition and pride.He was also flanked by a group of lawyers and executives.Kane’s sharp eyes locked on Adrian as he approached the stage.Without hesitation, he slammed a thick black folder onto the podium, scattering the Aldridge presentation papers across the stage.“STOP THIS EVENT!” His voice roared across the hall.Every camera in the room turned to him.Rowan frowned. “Mr. Kane, this is a private—”“Private?” Kane barked a laugh, his voice dripping with arrogance. “Not anymore.”He turned toward the crowd, raising the folder in his hand. “As of thirty minutes ago, Kane Pharmaceuticals has acquired this building. That means this venue is my property. And right now—” he leaned closer to the microphone, “—you’re all trespassing.”The room e
CHAPTER 227
Kane spun toward Julia, fury blazing in his eyes. “This building belongs to me!” he shouted, his voice booming through the hall. “These people are trespassing on my property, and I want them out—now!”Julia’s sharp gaze flicked from Kane to the Aldridges. “Is that true?” she asked coolly.Sophia stepped forward. “That’s ridiculous,” she said firmly. “We rented this hall for the entire day. Every legal document has been signed and cleared. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about... He’s just here to cause trouble.”“Trouble?” Kane repeated, his voice dripping with mock laughter. “Oh, I’ll show you what trouble really looks like!” He turned sharply toward Rowan. “You thought you could humiliate me and get away with it? Today, I shut you down.”Rowan’s face hardened, his patience thinning. “Kane,” he said in a calm but dangerous tone, “when will you grow up? Every time you lose, you resort to childish tricks. Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?”Kane’s nostrils flared. “Embarrassed?
CHAPTER 228
Rowan laughed, shaking his head. “A hundred thousand?” he repeated, his tone full of mock pity. “Marcus, don’t you have any shame left? You could’ve used that money for something useful but instead, you used it to embarrass yourself in public?” Kane’s face burned red. “Shut up, old man!” Rowan’s smirk deepened. “This rivalry between us has lasted for years,” he said. “And you’ve lost every single time. Why don’t you give up already?” “I’ll never lose to you!” Kane snapped, his voice trembling with rage. “Never!” He pulled out his phone and waved it at Adrian. “You think you’re clever, don’t you? When I prove I’m right, I’ll have you dragged out of this hall like a dog in front of everyone!” He dialed quickly, pressing the phone to his ear. Silence. He frowned and redialed. Still nothing. A few seconds later, the automated voice came through: “The number you are trying to reach is switched off.” Kane’s eyes widened. He tried again. Same result. Whispers filled the
CHAPTER 229
The entire hall erupted into gasps.“I forged the documents!” the man cried. “I tricked him into paying me a hundred thousand! I swear, it was all fake! I was planning to disappear before anyone found out!”Kane’s face turned white as a sheet. “What... what are you saying?! You...”But before he could finish, a voice rose from the audience.“Wait a minute!” a man shouted, standing up from his seat. “You! You’re the same man who sold me land in North Ridge last month!”The scammer’s eyes widened in terror.Then another voice joined in. “And you sold me that warehouse on 14th Street!”A woman gasped loudly. “So the house you sold me was fake too?” she screamed. “You thief!”Before anyone could stop them, chaos erupted.Several people rushed forward from the crowd... furious investors, homeowners, business owners.They pounced on the scammer, dragging him to the floor.“You liar!” one of them shouted, landing a punch to his face.“You thought you could scam us all and run away?!” another
CHAPTER 230
Adrian’s eyes narrowed. “Trust me, when this goes live, you'll be on the streets before me,” he said flatly. “Now get off my property.”Kane froze for a second and he began to back away from the stage.Every step he took toward the exit was a reminder of his humiliation.Without another word, he spun on his heel and stormed out of the hall with his men following him.The doors slammed shut behind him.The hall slowly calmed after the storm. The chaos had ended, and people finally took their seats again.Rowan straightened his tie and gave Adrian a proud nod. “Let’s continue,” he said.Sophia stepped back beside Adrian, her voice regaining its authority. “Let’s proceed with the presentation,” she said.The lights dimmed once more, and the massive screen behind them came alive with the gleaming title. “Primal Cell Reset.”The crowd, still buzzing from the drama, watched in awe as the presentation began.When the applause thundered at the end, Adrian quietly stepped down from the podium.
