CHAPTER 235
The crowd surged like a wild storm, chants of "Murderer!" and "Stop the poison!" echoing everywhere.Suddenly, a deep voice boomed from the side. "Make way!"Heads turned. Dr. Aldric appeared out of nowhere, flanked by the burliest and biggest men anyone had ever seen.They were like giants with muscles like boulders, their eyes fierce.Whispers rippled through the mob. "Look! It's the legendary healer!""Dr. Aldric?"The crowd parted like the sea, stepping back in awe and fear as Aldric and his men strode forward, creating a clear path straight to the entrance.Aldric raised his hand high. "Anyone who comes closer, I will curse you with an illness you will battle for life! Back away now!"The protesters froze, murmuring in terror. "He's serious... he can do it!"No one dared move. The path stayed open.Adrian nodded at Aldric. "Thank you, Doctor. You saved us from this chaos."Aldric waved it off with a grin and now slightly. "It's nothing, Adrian. I am always at your service. I know
CHAPTER 234
But before the mercenaries could even raise their weapons, Adrian unleashed the energy he had been holding back.A blinding burst of Dragon energy, which was like a shockwave of kinetic force, exploded outward from Adrian’s body.The effect was instantaneous and horrific. The powerful force flung the men away like ragdolls. Most hit the metal containers and concrete walls with sickening force, their bodies instantly crumpled. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the docks.Cobra himself was struck. He was thrown backward, and the force tore his leg.He cried out, scrambling on the ground, dragging his shattered body away from Adrian.Adrian walked toward the ruined man.“Coward,” Adrian’s voice echoed in the sudden silence. “Why are you running? I thought you were all right.”Cobra whimpered, his face covered in tears and filth. He looked up at the terrifying, perfect man standing over him.“Please! Please, sir! Mercy!” Cobra begged, crawling backward. “I’ll serve you! I’ll betray
CHAPTER 233
A muscle ticked at Adrian’s temple. “Cobra,” he repeated. “Cute.” “This,” Cobra said, lifting the knife with reverence, “is the Serpent Blade. I stole from the Dragon Clan years ago. You think it’s just a blade? Think again.” He ran a fingertip along the etched spine. “It’s been dipped in the venom of the ten deadliest cobras,” Cobra whispered. “It's not a myth. One scratch, one drip, and your blood boils. Ten seconds. That’s all you get.” Adrian’s eyes narrowed at the carvings. He knew the pattern. It was indeed the serpent blade of the Dragon clan. Cobra smirked. “See that pulse on the blade?” he asked, tapping the steel. “It’s alive. This blade has been used to conquer plenty of wars; one swipe can take out a hundred men. Do you still want to fight me, young man?” Adrian said nothing. “What is the matter?” he taunted. “Life flashing before your eyes? I thought you were all right. Why so quiet now?” Adrian looked at the Serpent Blade, then up at the smug face of t

“Trace the call now.” Adrian’s voice echoed in the room.“Sir?” the head of security asked.“Take Mr. Vance’s phone,” Adrian said. “Find the number and bring her home immediately.”“On it,” the guard answered. He snapped to the others. “Let’s go. Move!”“Show them no mercy,” Rowan said coldly. “Find her. Kill those dogs if you must.”The guards rushed out. The door slammed shut behind them.An hour passed and Rowan’s phone buzzed.“What now?” Sophia asked.Rowan checked his screen. His hand went white. “My God,” he whispered.He held the phone up as a video played.Sophia’s face went pale. “No,” she said.They all watched in silence.The video showed four of Rowan’s men, whom he had sent, and they were dead. The killer displayed them like some kind of trophy and there was a message boldly written at the bottom “‘Stop the cure or she dies and after that we’ll come for every member of your family and wipe you all out.’”They passed the phone from one hand to another. When the phone re
CHAPTER 231
The Aldridge private conference room, usually a hub of quiet power, was a cauldron of stress. Days after the triumphant announcement, Kane’s counter-attack hit them. Rowan said the table was filled with countless lawsuits.The Aldridge family sat at the table contemplating what to do next.Rowan slammed his hand down on a stack of papers. “Kane is relentless. The Global Medical Association will not consider our application, the way things are going.”Sophia rubbed her temples, frustration etched on her face. “That bastard! If I may my hands in him! People are genuinely terrified we’re creating a monster drug.”Adrian sat calmly at the head of the table, his expression thoughtful. “He is using fear as a weapon, but we will overcome this..”Gerald, his face drawn with worry, looked at Adrian. “We do we beat the public opinion without becoming dirty?”Rowan looked at his wife and son. “We will not back down. Not after what Adrian accomplished. We have defeated Kane before and we will do
CHAPTER 230
Adrian’s eyes narrowed. “Trust me, when this goes live, you'll be on the streets before me,” he said flatly. “Now get off my property.”Kane froze for a second and he began to back away from the stage.Every step he took toward the exit was a reminder of his humiliation.Without another word, he spun on his heel and stormed out of the hall with his men following him.The doors slammed shut behind him.The hall slowly calmed after the storm. The chaos had ended, and people finally took their seats again.Rowan straightened his tie and gave Adrian a proud nod. “Let’s continue,” he said.Sophia stepped back beside Adrian, her voice regaining its authority. “Let’s proceed with the presentation,” she said.The lights dimmed once more, and the massive screen behind them came alive with the gleaming title. “Primal Cell Reset.”The crowd, still buzzing from the drama, watched in awe as the presentation began.When the applause thundered at the end, Adrian quietly stepped down from the podium.
