Then gasps filled the hall. “Did someone escape from an asylum?”“He definitely has a death wish, daring to attack the almighty heir of the Hart family business group!” Another note with hands covering their mouths.“Well it seems that wish would be granted very soon because he is as good as dead already.”Then the sound died the instant Han rose from the ground. Like a God had just walked into their midst.The crowd froze. Even Elara trembled. Her face drained of all colours."What's he still waiting for!" Her head spun with thoughts."Why isn't he running yet! Doesn't he realize who Han is? Doesn't everyone in the city know?"She wouldn't want anyone's downfall just because of their kindness to save her. Besides, wasn't it how she fell so deep herself.Elara wanted to warn him, whisper to Adrain to run away before it was too late. But the chance slipped away even before she could utter a sound.Han's face turned into something demonic. He clutched his twisted wrist, pain mixing int

The dust settled and Adrain was still standing without a single hurt on his body.He has sidestepped the king of rings attacks as though watching a slow motion reply. Every movement precise and effortless.The crowd stared, disbelief painted into every face and Han's hands clenched tightly. 'Han, the pathetic mutt that refused to die.'Whispers filled the arena. 'How is this possible? He should be dead already!' The attacks of the king of rings were like bullets. And for more than a decade, no one has been able to escape them.Some tried to rationalize"Maybe the King of Rings is just trying to boost his morale before his eventual fall!" A voice carried through the crowd.A lot of other people were drawn to this premise too."Yeah! That has to be it!" Another added."He is letting the little mutt feel powerful. Soon, the king of rings would crush him like a pitiful fly."Laughter rippled through the crowd like a wave of thunderclap. However, the arrogant crowd didn't know how wrong t

They arrived at an old mansion. It was large but almost empty and it was at the perfect location just beside the sea.Adrain carried Elara in his hands, her soft body brushing against her skin. She might have a disfigured face but her body was still as soft and perfect, and even for a disciplined man like himself, it was difficult to resist.He took her into a room, and Elara's breath was arched deeply. She was placing her life in the arms of a stranger for a single act of kindness. But this single act was more than anyone that wasn't her family member had ever done for her before.The room was finely cleaned and the bed well prepared."Do you intend to make me a maid?" That was the highest that Elara could assume.She had not seen any servants since they walked into the place for such a tall and big mansion. Maybe this would be her way of repaying Adrian for his act of kindness.But much to her confusion, Adrain chuckled."No! You're not here to do the dishes and wash the plates, yo

At the other end of the city, the steady beep… beep… beep of machines echoed through the hospital ward.On the bed lay Hin, his bones oddly broken beyond repair, tubes running in and out of him, and his rising chest, the only proof that he wasn't dead yet.His uncle, Roger stood at the edge of the bed, once a feared army commandant, now the iron-fisted leader of underground gangs stretching across the continent.His shoulders trembled with fury and his teeth gnashed with rage.His nephew, a boy he had raised like his own, reduced to this wreck. It wasn’t just an insult to Hin. It was a slap in the face of the Hart bloodline.Roger’s fists clenched so tight the veins swelled like ropes under his skin. His eyes burned with murder.He turned on the guards trembling at the wall. They had not been able to give any response yet on how they had dared to lay a finger on one of the Harts.“You,” his voice thundered like cannon fire. “Tell me who did this to my nephew!”The man's words stumbl

"That's the last time I’m going to say it, step away from the counter with your hands up in the air." the security chief barked, his men already closing in, their eyes filled with hostility like Adrain was some notorious devil.However, despite the harsh words that were supposed to break Adrain, not even a gaze shifted. He remained rooted and unwavering, fueling the rage of the chief guard.But before anyone could move, the glass doors swung open with a hiss.A man entered, dripping with gold and diamonds, each step a statement of arrogance. Rings glittered, his suit was tailored to perfection, and the smug curl of his lips screamed superiority.The room stilled and all eyes turned, dazzled with awe at this new sight. It was unlike anything that they had ever seen. Compared to him, Adrian’s presence looked unworthy.The receptionist, Hannah, nearly stumbled as she rushed forward, her face flushed with excitement. Earlier, she had received a call from the supervisor that an important g
