CHAPTER 566
The two other men raised their rifles and pulled the triggers. A hail of bullets hissed through the air toward Sophia’s chest. Sophia didn't flinch. She raised her right hand, palm out. A wall of shimmering, orange heat materialized in front of her. As the bullets hit the invisible barrier, they turned bright red, melted into liquid in mid-air, and splashed harmlessly onto the asphalt as smoking droplets of lead. The assassins froze, their mouths hanging open. They had faced armies, but they had never faced a woman who could melt bullets with a thought. "My turn," Sophia hissed. The first assassin, desperate and fueled by adrenaline, dropped his empty rifle and drew a long combat knife. He rushed her, aiming for her throat. Sophia moved with grace as she caught his wrist mid-swing. The man let out a blood-curdling scream. Even through his reinforced tactical glove, Sophia’s touch was so hot it seared through the material and cooked the skin beneath. The smell of burning flesh fil

Adrian’s eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about?""You left your wife and your sister vulnerable," Mr. Rossi hissed, his voice dripping with venom. "You were so blinded by your rage, so eager to chase me down and play the hero, that you left your home unguarded. While you were driving here, I made a call. I didn't send one man. I sent three of the best assassins in the underworld to wipe them out."Adrian's fist curled in anger.Mrs. Rossi gasped, but Mr. Rossi didn't stop. He leaned forward, mocking the man who had just bankrupted him."By the time you get back, your precious Sophia and your little genius sister will be nothing but memories," Rossi laughed. "You want to crush me? I will make sure to destroy you! I’ll lose my house, but you’ll lose everything you hold so dear."Sophia sat in the driver's seat, and the atmosphere was finally peaceful.Sophia gripped the steering wheel, a small smile playing on her lips. She looked at Clara in the passenger seat. The girl looked tir
CHAPTER 564
Adrian stood like a pillar in the center of their driveway. He looked at Mr. Rossi with a deadly stare. "The Rossi family has bitten off more than they can chew," Adrian said, his voice dropping to a terrifying whisper. "Sending you to the hospital last time was a mercy, Lorenzo. I was being kind. But you took my kindness for weakness." As if on cue, the silence of the morning was shattered. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rossi’s phones began to vibrate violently in their pockets. A chorus of ringtones and alert sounds erupted all at once. Mr. Rossi pulled his phone out, his face turning from red to a sickly, pale white. "Hello? What do you mean the merger is off?" he barked into the phone. Before he could finish, another call clicked through. Then another. He looked at his screen in horror. Business partners he had known for decades were calling him, their voices filled with panic. "Who have you offended, Lorenzo?" one voice screamed through the speaker. "The Rhein Group just issued a black-

Adrian paused, his back to the hut. He calmly adjusted his cufflinks. "Leave her," he said in a cold voice. "There is no need to waste a bullet. Let her stay tied to that chair. Let her bleed to death in the sanctuary she used to poison my sister.""Please! No!" Myria’s voice rose into a shrill, panicked shriek from inside. "I told you everything! You promised! Don't leave me like this! Adrian, mercy! Have mercy!"Adrian didn't even flinch. He stepped into his car and slammed the door, the sound cutting off her pleas.As the car tore down the winding forest road, Adrian pulled his phone from the dashboard and called Julia."Julia," Adrian said. "Execute Protocol Zero on the Rossi family. I want them bankrupt. Not by tomorrow, but by the time I reach their front gates. Ruin them to the ground. Freeze every bank account, seize every property, and revoke every business license they hold." "That family will pay for their sins. They will regret the day they touched my family. They will le
CHAPTER 562
"Go to hell!" Myria shrieked, her voice echoing off the walls.In a move so fast the eye could barely track it, Adrian swung. The blade whistled through the air.SHLUCK.A horrific sound filled the room, followed immediately by a high-pitched, soul-piercing scream of absolute terror. Half of Myria’s right arm hit the floor with a heavy thud, the blood staining the stone.Myria’s body jerked violently against the ropes. She stared down at the stump where her arm used to be, her eyes wide with shock. She wailed, her head thrashing from side to side as she tried to pull away from the stump that was pouring her life onto the floor.Adrian stood over her, his face as still as a statue. He held the blood-dripping sword at his side, looking as if he had just trimmed a hedge."So," Adrian said, his voice cder this time around. "Will you talk now? Or should I move to the other arm? I have all morning, Myria. I can take you apart piece by piece until there is nothing left but a head that can
CHAPTER 561
Adrian stopped flipping the vial. He looked at her with an empty gaze."You know, you have a lot of guts, Myria," Adrian said, his voice smooth and conversational. "I killed your mentor. I destroyed his entire business, burned his labs to ash, and buried his name in the dirt.""I thought that would be a lesson for the apprentice. I thought it would teach you that some families are not meant to be touched."He leaned forward, his face inches from hers. "If your boss, a man with ten times your talent and a hundred times your power, couldn't defeat me, what makes you think you can?""You think you are strong?" Myria spat, a glob of blood hitting the floor. "You think you are indestructible? You are just a man! I will bring you down! I will find the crack in your armor and I will destroy everything you love!"Adrian let out a short, dry laugh. It was a cold sound, devoid of any real humor. "Fighting you isn't worth it, Myria. You are a mere ant in my eyes. I could crush you beneath my hee
