CHAPTER 241
Kane's face twisted. "Fine! Have it your way. I'll crush you and the Aldridge empire. You'll regret—"Downstairs, one mercenary guarding the trailers froze. "What the...?"The Dragonroot in the open crates shimmered, then crumbled to fine sand, pouring out like dust.He screamed. "Boss! The roots... they're turning to sand! All of it!"The leader rushed over. "What? That's impossible!"The men gathered, staring in shock. "It's all sand now!" "How? It was real a second ago!" "This can't be happening!"They scrambled for their phones. "Call Kane! Now!"Kane's phone rang mid-sentence. He glanced at it with annoyance. "What nonsense? Don't rot with me now." He cut the call.But his phone rang again.The leader's voice came through, filled with fear. "Boss! It's real! The Dragonroot... It has all turned to sand! Every crate! We don't know how, but it's gone!"Kane froze, his eyes darting back to the screen.Adrian smiled faintly. "I suggest you go attend to what your men are saying."Kane
CHAPTER 242
The yard turned into an inferno, smoke billowing thick and black.The men who survived were badly injured, and they coughed loudly trying to regain themselves.Kane staggered back, the video call still connected, his phone shaking in his hand. For the first time in his life, raw fear flashed across his eyes, wide and wild. "No... my men... what have you done?"Adrian's voice cut through the chaos, calm and unyielding. "You still think I'm bluffing, Kane? I warned you not to cross me. All the men you placed at my suppliers and also your bombs? They've been dismantled. Completely. If you destroy even one of my facilities, I'll rain down fire on your entire industry. Then I'll come for your family. Every last one."Kane's fear twisted back into fury, his face flushing red. "You monster! I'm not begging! Do your worst! You can't stop me—I'll hunt you down myself! I'll kill you with my bare hands, Adrian! I'll rip you apart!"Adrian's expression didn't change. "You still have the guts to t
CHAPTER 243
Kane slammed on the brakes, leaping out. “No! My company!” He tried to rush toward the burning wreckage, but police officers blocked his path, their arms outstretched.“Stay back, sir!” one shouted. “It’s not safe!”Kane shoved against them, wild-eyed. “Let me through! That’s my life! My legacy!”Another officer grabbed him. “Mr. Kane, you can’t! The whole place is gone—collapsing! You’ll die!”Kane fought, screaming. “Gone? No! It can’t be gone! I built that from nothing! You don’t understand!” His voice broke as he sank to his knees on the pavement, staring at the flames consuming decades of his ambition. Fire trucks sprayed water, but it was useless, everything was destroyed, reduced to ash and rubble. The air was filled with smoke and ruin.He clutched his head, tears mixing with soot on his face. “Aldridge… you’ll pay for this…”---Hours later, in his dimly lit mansion, Kane paced like a caged beast, his phone clutched tight. The Dragonroot-turned-sand fiasco and now his compa
CHAPTER 244
The real Dragonroot convoy moved along the highway.Adrian sat in his SUV which was leading the convoy. Then suddenly the energy around him pulsed faintly as he sensed danger.The sky darkened with storm clouds. Wind whipped like a warning.Suddenly, a ghostly figure phased through the road ahead. It was Zara. She materialized like a specter from the mist. Zane blurred into view beside her. He was like a streak of lightning cutting through the air.They both stood in front of the vehicle blocking its path.The convoy had no other option than to stop. "Adrian! You've crossed a higher power! Today will be your last day!"Zane cracked his knuckles. "Lucky for you get to choose how you die... So, fast or slow?"Adrian exited the vehicle. His eyes narrowed. His dragon energy flared like a red aura around him. "What nonsense is this? Who the hell are you?"The twins exchanged a glance. They looked surprised. Zara tilted her head. "You don't know us? Stop pretending."Zane smirked. "We are
CHAPTER 245
Adrian turned to her. His aura flared brighter. "I told you to walk away but you clearly want to die."In a flash, he lunged. His hand pierced through her chest. Dragon energy burned like fire. Zara's phasing failed. Her eyes widened in shock. "Brother... help...""Zara!" Zane blurred to a halt, his speed shattering like glass. He skidded to her side, dropping to his knees, hands hovering over her broken form. "Sister... get up! Phase! Fight!"Zara coughed, blood flecking her lips, her once-ethereal glow fading to a weak flicker. "Zane... he's... too strong... run..."Zane's head snapped up, his legendary speed forgotten, replaced by raw terror. "You... you killed her? With one move? How? We're the Drakons! Untouchable! Faster than gods!"Adrian loomed over them, his voice echoing like distant thunder. "Untouchable?" He scoffed."I just felt like toying with both of you, I could have killed you instantly."Zara's hand twitched, reaching for Zane's. "Brother... I..." Her eyes widened,
CHAPTER 246
Kane used the moment to lunge for his desk drawer. He yanked out a gun, cocking it. "Men! Shoot him! Kill this bastard!"Henchmen burst into the room with their guns and bullets rained down.But Zane was a blur. His sword flashed out, lightning speed turning him into a whirlwind of death. He zipped between them, blade slicing throats and chests. Blood sprayed across the walls.Men screamed, bodies dropping one by one. Guns clattered to the floor.One henchman fired wildly. "He's too fast!"Zane appeared behind him, sword thrusting through his back. "Too slow."Another begged. "Please—"Zane's blade cut him before he co even finish his sentence.In less than thirty seconds, the room was silent. Corpses littered the floor, blood pooling thick and red. Walls dripped with blood.Kane backed against the wall, gun trembling in his hand. He dropped it, falling to his knees. "Zane! Wait! Don't do this! I'll do anything! Money—whatever amount! Billions! Take it all! Just spare me! Please!"Za
CHAPTER 247
Julia hesitated. She picked up the letter but didn't move. "Sir, it's marked urgent. It came with special seals. Maybe it's important."Adrian leaned back in his chair. His fingers tapped the desk. "Important? From him? After all these years?"Julia stepped closer. Her voice was soft but firm. "I know you don't have a good history with your father. But what if he has something you need to hear? Answers, maybe. I'm sure there is something you want to know badly."Adrian stared at the letter. His mind raced with memories. His father's betrayal.Memories of him killing his mom and cheating on her with his secretary.Throwing him out like trash. But curiosity gnawed at him. What if there was truth in it?He sighed heavily. "Fine."Julia handed it over. Adrian broke the seal with a sharp rip. He unfolded the paper. His eyes scanned the words.The letter read in his mind: "Son, we urgently need to talk. Come to the mansion tomorrow."Adrian crumpled the edge. "No way I'm going to see him,"
CHAPTER 248
He stood up. His chair scraped loudly against the floor. Mr. Rhein called after him. "Think about it, son." Adrian stormed out angrily. The door slammed like thunder. The drive back was filled with rage. "Lies. All lies," he muttered to himself. Adrian stormed into his home, the door slamming behind him like a thunderclap. His face was twisted with rage, fists clenched tight. "That bastard wasted my time with lies!" he muttered to himself, pacing the empty hallway. The house felt cold and silent. He called out. "Sophia? You home?" No answer came. The kitchen was dark, Sophia ought to be back by now. His heart skipped a beat. Something felt off. He grabbed his keys again and rushed out, driving to the Aldridge family house. The weather became cloudy, and it began to rain. As he neared the estate, chaos greeted him. Flashing ambulance lights cut through the storm. People gathered at the entrance, wailing and shouting. Servants and family members clustered around, thei
CHAPTER 249
The family surged forward. Gerald, Sophia's brother, shoved Adrian back. "After all we've done for you? Gave you a place, trusted you? You stabbed us in the back! Grandfather believed in you!"Sarah, Sophia's mother, pointed a shaking finger. "I always knew I couldn't trust you! From the start! Get out!"Elena stayed quiet, her eyes sad, watching from the side but she didn't say anything.Adrian stepped back, heartbroken. The family pulled Sophia away, surrounding her like a wall. "Get out, murderer!" they shouted. Adrian took a step closer. His voice softened. "Sophia, calm down. You're angry and grieving. You'll get over this. The videos are fake. Someone's playing a wicked game."Sophia's eyes filled with rage. They burned like fire. She wiped her tears and shouted. "Fake? How can you say that?"She waved to a servant standing nearby. The old man stepped forward. His hands shook. "Tell them what you saw," Sophia said.The servant nodded. His voice trembled. "I saw Mr. Adrian enter
CHAPTER 250
"I shouldn't have gone," Adrian whispered. "I should have stayed away from him."Rage boiled inside him kike a firestorm. He started the engine and it roared to life. He zoomed off back to his father's house.He was going to end this madness.Early in the morning, Adrian's car screamed to a halt outside his father's estate. He turned off the engine and descended from his car.The silence in the compound was broken only by the relentless rain pounding the roof.Adrian didn't use the door. He kicked it open and charged inside the mansion. Dragon energy crackled beneath his skin like lightning in his veins. His eyes glowed red with fury. Rain soaked him but he didn't feel it. Only rage drove him.Richard stepped out from the shadows. His face paled. "Mr. Adrian, you cannot enter! You are not expected..."Adrian didn't stop or slow down. He didn't touch Richard. But the sheer shockwave of his speed and rage released kinetic Dragon energy. It sent the old man sprawling harmlessly int
