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

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

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

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

"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
