CHAPTER 696
Clara’s scream ripped through the air as she scrambled over the broken wood and drywall, rushing toward the guest room where Adrian lay buried under debris. Before she could reach him, a wave of unseen energy slammed into her, tossing her aside like a rag doll."You are not worth killing, you're not even a true Lancaster.""Clara, no!" Adrian roared, his voice thick with blood and fury.He pulled himself from the wreckage, his clothes torn and his skin bruised, but his eyes were glowing with a terrifying, desperate light. The energy around him began to boil. He ignored the pain in his shattered ribs and his pounding head."I will make you regret ever setting foot in this house!" Adrian screamed.He launched himself forward, moving so fast he became a blur of green light. He aimed a strike that could have leveled a building, but the robed figure didn't even move. Just as Adrian’s fist was an inch from his face, the figure reached out with impossible speed and caught Adrian’s hand m
CHAPTER 695
Outside, a storm erupted out of nowhere. Lightning hammered against the house, the thunder sounding like the footsteps of a giant. The walls began to vibrate, and the floor began to shake as if a massive earthquake was tearing through the foundation."Adrian?" Clara trembled, her hand gripping his arm so hard her nails were almost sinking into his skin. "What’s happening?""Stay behind me," Adrian commanded, his voice sharp and urgent.He stood up, shielding her with his body. In the center of the living room, the shadows began to swirl and thicken. They knitted together, forming a tall, imposing figure clothed in a heavy, coal-black robe. The hood hung so low that his face was just darkness, just only a hint of a chin and a pair of cold, unblinking eyes were visible.The vibrating stopped. The room went deathly silent."Who the hell are you?" Adrian demanded, his voice echoing in the stillness.The figure didn't move. A deep, rumbling voice emerged from the hood, sounding like stone
CHAPTER 694
"You called, Boss?" she asked, her eyes fixed on the cowering Marcus. "Take Marcus on a brief flight around the city," Adrian ordered, his voice cold and flat. "Teach him what it feels like to be truly helpless. When you are done, dump his body where the vultures can have what’s left. I never want to see his face in this realm again." Marcus’s laughter died instantly. He stumbled back, his face turning a pasty, sickly white. "What? No! Stay back! What are you? Don't you dare come close to me!" Lyra stepped toward him, a wicked, predatory smile spreading across her face. "Oh, don't be like that, Marcus. You said you wanted to reach the top of the world, didn't you? How would you like to go on a fun little flight?" "Keep away from me! Guards! Someone!" Marcus screamed, scrambling backward, but there was no one left to save him. Lyra reached out, her fingers locking onto his collar with the strength of an iron vice. With a casual flick of her wrist, she vaulted into the air, draggi

CHAOTER 693
Vanessa watched in horror and awe. She had never seen anything like this. Adrian tore through the elite guards as if they were made of paper. Marcus backed away, his face turning pale as his "army" dwindled to nothing in a matter of minutes.The last guard, a giant of a man, lunged at Adrian with a roar. Adrian stepped inside the man’s reach, delivered a lightning-fast strike to his solar plexus, and then a spinning kick that sent the man crashing into the oil drum.Adrian stood alone amidst the wreckage of three hundred men. He looked down at his arm, where a small piece of a guard's flesh was stuck to his sleeve. He flicked it off with a look of pure disgust."Do you still think you’re in charge, Marcus?" Adrian asked, his voice calm, which made it even more terrifying.Marcus looked around at his fallen army, his chest heaving. He looked terrified, trapped, and utterly broken. Adrian took a step toward him, the emerald light in his eyes beginning to flare. "I warned you to release
CHAPTER 691
Adrian’s fists curled at his sides, the leather of his gloves creaking. The emerald glow in his chest pulsed once, a heartbeat of pure power. "Let her go. Now."Marcus laughed, the sound bouncing off the cold concrete. "You still have the guts to shout? Look around you, boy! There are more than enough guards on every floor to tear you apart. Don't tempt me, or they will finish you on the spot!"Marcus reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, silver vial filled with a glowing, amber liquid. He set it on a rusted oil drum between them."To save her life, all you have to do is this: inject yourself with this vial. It’s a fast-acting neurotoxin. You’ll be dead within minutes, it's quite painless, mostly... and then I’ll let her go. That’s the deal. It’s as simple as that. One life for one life."Adrian looked at the vial, then back at Marcus, his expression utterly bored. "And if I refuse?""Then you die, and she dies," Marcus snapped. "But this way, you get to be the hero. You get
