CHAPTER 621
Adrian chuckled as he pulled the vehicle out into the street. "I think you just might, kid."Vanessa sat in the plush leather seat, the silence of the luxury cabin making her feel like she was in a dream. Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer. "Michael... who the hell are you? I’ve worked with you for months. You’re a janitor. You clean floors. Why did a world-renowned legend prostrate himself before you? Why did he call you 'Master'?"Adrian kept his eyes on the road, his hands steady on the wheel. "There’s a lot you don't know about me, Vanessa. It will all make sense one day, I promise. For now, let’s just say Aldric and I go way back. He’s an old friend who owes me a few favors.""An old friend who rips out his own fingernails because he was two minutes late?" Vanessa muttered, though she didn't push further. She was exhausted, and for the first time in weeks, her son was breathing easily beside her.They eventually pulled up to Vanessa’s home, a small, modest bungalow on th
CHAPTER 622
Mr. Frederick stood with his arms crossed, his face a mask of jagged cruelty."Please, Mr. Frederick!" Vanessa cried, her voice breaking as she clutched the envelope containing the company’s donation. "Take the two hundred thousand dollars. It’s a fortune! I will find a way to pay the rest, I promise. Just give me time!""I don't have time for this nonsense!" Frederick barked, his spit flying. "Since you aren't ready to pay the full five years, your home is gone today!"He whipped out his phone and jabbed at the screen. "Yeah, bring the caterpillar in. Now! I’ll pay you an extra twenty thousand if you level the place by sunset." He snapped the phone shut and glared at Vanessa. "Go in and grab whatever junk you can, woman, because this shack is coming down.""Where will we sleep?" Vanessa begged, falling to her knees. "My son just got out of the hospital! The doctor said he needs rest. This stress will kill him!""I don't care if you sleep under the rain or under a bridge," Frederick s
CHAPTER 623
The giant metal bucket of the tractor rose into the air like the jaw of a monster. It began to descend, a shadow falling over Vanessa and her son. She braced for the impact, but it never came.She opened her eyes to see a figure standing over her. It was Michael. He wasn't running. He wasn't hiding. He was standing with his feet planted in the dirt, his arms raised high, his bare hands stopping the massive steel bucket of the tractor mid-air."Michael..." she breathed, her heart stopping."Hey, you!" Frederick screamed, his eyes bulging. "Who the hell are you? You have a death wish? Get out of there, or I'll crush you along with them!"Adrian didn't say a word. His eyes were cold, glowing with a dangerous, quiet fire."Crush him!" Frederick screamed at the operator. "Crush them all! I’ll triple your money!"The worker’s eyes shone with greed. He slammed the gear into the highest setting. The tractor’s metal tires began to roll aggressively, digging deep into the soil. Black smoke erup
CHAPTER 624
The yard of the small bungalow was now a stage for a bloodbath. The late afternoon sun cast long, jagged shadows across the dirt as twelve men filled the space. They were the vultures of Eagle Street, men who lived for violence and feared nothing.Frederick, still clutching his broken ribs and spitting blood, pointed a trembling, manic finger at Adrian. "This is him! This is the bastard! He flipped the tractor! He broke my bones! Look at what he did to my property!"Adrian didn't flinch. He didn't even adopt a fighting stance. He reached out and adjusted the collar of his blue janitor’s shirt, smoothing a wrinkle as if he were preparing for a casual walk."If you know what is good for you," Adrian said, his voice dropping into a low, dangerous tone, "you will run along and go home. This doesn't concern you."The lead thug, a massive man with a jagged scar running from his ear to his chin, let out a bark of laughter. He slammed a lead pipe against his open palm with a sickening thwac
CHAPTER 625
The next two thugs approached from the sides, each carrying heavy chains. Adrian caught the chains mid-air, wrapping them around his fists. He jerked his arms inward, bringing the two men colliding into each other with a bone-crunching crack. As they fell, Adrian delivered two lightning-fast kicks. The sound of their shins shattering echoed through the yard like gunshots.It wasn't a fight. It was a merciless slaughter.Adrian moved like a ghost amidst the storm. A lead pipe swung toward his head; he caught it, bent it into a U-shape around the attacker’s neck, and shoved the man into the dirt.Another thug tried to stab him with a jagged piece of metal; Adrian deflected the strike, grabbed the man’s arm, and snapped it at the elbow as easily as if it were a toothpick.Blood began to spray across the white walls of the bungalow. The so-called "cleaner" was a whirlwind of violence. Every strike resulted in a broken limb or a collapsed organ. One man was punched so hard in the gut that

"You had your chance," Adrian replied, his eyes narrowing. "But you already made your choice to die a few minutes ago when you raised that pipe against a woman and a child."Before the man could even scream, Adrian seized him by the neck. With a strength that defied physics, he lifted the grown man into the air with one hand. The man kicked and thrashed, his face turning a deep, suffocating purple. With a casual flick of his wrist, Adrian threw him across the yard.The man sailed through the air like a rag doll. He landed squarely on the upturned caterpillar tractor. The sharp, jagged metal teeth of the drill—designed to tear through solid rock caught him in the stomach. There was a sickening squelch as the metal pierced through his spine. He gasped once, his eyes rolling back into his head, and died instantly, pinned to the machine like a butterfly to a board.The yard fell into a terrifying, heavy silence. The only sound was the drip of blood and the distant hum of the city.Adria
CHAPTER 627
Frederick stood tall now, his broken ribs seemingly forgotten as the dark energy from the ring surged through his veins. "Do you see it now?" Frederick let out a hollow laugh. "You think you can just come here, challenge me on my turf, and walk away? You have no idea the power you’ve messed with, you miserable janitor!"Adrian’s fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. The air around him began to hum, a low vibration that made the pebbles on the ground vibrate. "You were the one," Adrian whispered, his voice dangerously calm. "You were the one who put that boy in the hospital. I felt this same filth in his lungs. You poisoned a child."Vanessa’s breath hitched. She looked from Adrian’s cold, hard face to the monstrous figure of her landlord. "Frederick?" she gasped, her voice trembling. "What is he talking about? My son... You did that to Victor?"Frederick no longer tried to hide it. He threw his head back and let out a jagged, manic laugh. "Yes! And I was the one who ki
CHAPTER 628
Adrian looked Frederick dead in the eye. "That’s why he wants it," Adrian continued, his voice echoing in the silent yard. "There is a king's ransom in gold buried beneath this house."Frederick’s smirk returned, though a flicker of surprise crossed his demonic eyes. He was stunned that a "janitor" had uncovered his secret."Yes... Gold! My fucking gold!" Frederick hissed, the obsidian ring glowing with a blinding, violet light."It’s been sitting under your floorboards for decades, and you were too poor and too stupid even to smell it! It belongs to me! And now, you’re standing in my way for the last time. I’m going to crush every single one of you and bury you in the same hole I dig the gold out of!"The flickering violet light from Frederick’s ring cast long, monstrous shadows against the cracked walls of the bungalow. Vanessa stood frozen, her mind reeling as the truth sank into her heart like a serrated blade."So you did all this... because of some gold?" Vanessa’s voice was a
CHAPTER 629
Adrian reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, the screen glowing brightly in the darkening yard. He didn't look at Frederick; he looked at Vanessa. "As of an hour ago," Adrian stated firmly, "the deed was transferred. The Rhein Group, the largest conglomerate in the hemisphere has purchased this entire block and the surrounding territory. And they didn't just buy it for themselves." Adrian turned the phone screen toward Frederick. It showed a digital legal document, stamped with the golden seal of the High Court and the signature of the city’s Chief Registrar. "The Rhein Group has officially placed this land in the name of Vanessa Gale," Adrian said, his voice ringing with a cold authority. "You aren't standing on your turf, Frederick. You are trespassing on her property." Frederick’s face went from grey to a sickly, pale white. His hand began to shake. "That’s impossible... No one has that kind of power! No one can move that fast!" Frederick’s world was crumbling faste
CHAPTER 630
He stretched his hand toward the overturned caterpillar tractor. The dark energy leaped from his ring, wrapping around the massive yellow machine like a swarm of black vipers. The metal groaned and shrieked as Frederick lifted the multi-ton machine into the sky with a flick of his wrist. It hung over Vanessa and her son like a shadow of death.Vanessa instinctively grabbed Victor, pulling him into the crook of her arm, shielding his head. She braced for the end."Now you die!" Frederick screamed, bringing his arm down.The massive machine hurtled toward the earth with the force of a falling meteor. But before the metal could crush the life out of Vanessa and her child, a blur of motion intercepted the shadow. Adrian appeared before them, his hands thrust upward.With a deafening BOOM, Adrian caught the caterpillar. The ground beneath his boots shattered into a web of cracks. He held the entire weight of the construction machine as if it were a bale of hay.Frederick’s eyes bulged. A
