Chapter 231
As everyone began to point fingers at Daniel while ignoring Irene’s screams, Octavio hurried to Adrian’s side.He bowed deeply before saying, “I am sorry for coming late, Young Master.”“Where is he?” Adrian simply asked while checking the time. 8:46 a.m.“He needed to get something at...”“I am here. I am here.”Philip Brewster ran at full force into the field.With relief, Fallon immediately started making calls.Shirt askew, sweat dripping, he glanced at Irene’s punishment with confusion.“Manager, help me. They are

She crawled towards the podium. “Adrian. No, I mean, Young Master, please, don’t...”Madeleine lifted her like a rag doll and carried her away, her screams fading fast.“What’s her full name?” Octavio asked.“Irene Han," Philip immediately responded, knowing that idiot had just ruined herself across Zerovia.The assistant had already sunk to her knees, tears soaking her blouse.“Manager, please, please, please,” she was saying over and over again.“Am I the one you should beg? Fool!” Philip snapped at her.She immediately turned to Adrian with a bumbling apology.<

Two hours! Fallon couldn't believe they were able to pull off the whole arrangement in two hours!It helped that they had a detailed plan in place that helped each team already know how to move without extra guidance.Yet she knew it wouldn't have been possible without Adrian's extra force.Watching military men lift and stack equipment like it weighed nothing was unreal.And the men in black? She had no idea where he got them from, but she wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth.When she finally stopped to take a breather and looked around at how perfectly everything had turned out, she felt like a general who had done a damn good job.She checked the time. 11:04 am.Shit! She needed to get ready.She turned and almost collided with someone.The overwhelming perfume and gleaming shoes already set a scowl on her face even before she looked at him.“Really? You are taking your sneaky ways literally now?”Henry flicked at his cufflinks as he glared at her.“Sneaking up on you? Yo

The stadium erupted with increased frenzy.Staff scrambled. Spectators shouted. Phones flew into the air, screen-recording. Henry's brow furrowed as he saw the same on his phone. “I don't understand. I just checked minutes ago…”Fallon turned away from him, her face glowing as she gazed adoringly at Adrian. “He signed up. He really did. You are a genius!” She launched herself into his arms for a hug. “Thank you. Thank you. Thank…”She suddenly realised what she was doing and stepped back awkwardly. “Jeez. Oh God. Sorry. I just…” “It's fine,” Adrian simply said as he looked at Henry. "Keep waiting for that failure, manager.”

Chapter 235
By noon, Singha Stadium was already overflowing.Massive LED billboards wrapped around the arena flashed Echelon’s logo across Aurion's skyline while fans flooded the space in branded jerseys, glow sticks, and customised gamer tags printed across hoodies.Though soft sunlight still filtered through parts of the stadium’s original roof structure, the arena itself had transformed into a massive gaming fortress. Towering LED panels, suspended lighting rigs, and dark stage structures drowned the central field in Ascension’s crimson-and-blue glow like a living game lobby. Ascension’s emblem rotated endlessly above the arena as thousands

Phoenix seemed familiar. There was something about the ramrod-straight back and the elegant gait that Adrian couldn’t shake off. He had seen her before. He was even more surprised when Phoenix mentioned to Edward that she only did it for a friend and did not expect any compensation. There was something about her voice too. Adrian had seen people trying to change their voices before. Though Phoenix didn’t speak much, he could feel her cadence slipping in and out. The lady wasn’t just hiding her face behind the mask. She didn’t want her voice to be known.“Why?” he wondered thoughtfully.As she set out to leave, Adrian simply stepped in their path.Phoenix didn’t look at him, but Lady Sage gave him a haughty look with the silent command to move or be moved.He smiled charmingly as he said, “I just want to thank you for the other day, Lady Sage. It’s admirable what you did for me.”The black-clad lady frowned as she asked, “What did I do for you, Phantom?”He sensed Phoenix go st

“That’s for you to find out,” he said simply and turned to leave.He still had enough time to…“May I please take a picture with you?” her hesitant tone stopped him once again.Adrian groaned inwardly and took another step towards the door. Then he turned around anyway.She had put a lot into this day. Rewarding her with a picture no one else had ever had before was the least he could do.“You get one," he said tersely.Her smile was back in full bloom as she hurried toward

Phoenix and her entourage had cleared the long hallway. Yet a quick glance out of the side window made him realise her convoy was still around. The security guards were clearing people out and ensuring not even the stadium staff got close to the gleaming cars.“Shit!” Adrian muttered, remembering he couldn’t go out in the recognisable outfit he had used on stage. Even the security guards’ best efforts might not be enough to keep people from getting to either Phantom or Phoenix.He ducked into the little alcove where he had changed earlier.
Chapter 239
The woman who stepped out of the door was a brunette with blonde highlights. Her tight-fitting top was tucked into a red skirt complemented by ankle-strap shoes.The smile on her red-painted lips widened as she waved her clipboard over her face while giving him a once-over.“Of course I am not Dahlia,” she crooned with a flirtatious pout. “But if that’s what you want me to be…”“Why are you not her?” His tone came out hardened by the disappointment crashing through him.Her flirtatious look hardened as she sighed. “Look, though you are proper eye candy, I don’t deal with the crazy. Do you want the place or not?”
Chapter 240
His mind refused to accept it. No, there must be a mistake somewhere. Dahlia couldn’t just be gone like that.Refusing to give in to despair, he immediately jerked to his feet and began opening doors. The bedroom held that same faint rosemary scent. Evidence of wear and tear, yet nothing else that could connect the room to Dahlia.The kitchen was no different. No pictures. No traces. Nothing.
