CHAPTER 589
The janitors turned as one toward the door, ready to run, but they didn't get far. Two towering security guards stepped in front of the exit, their arms crossed and their faces grim. The chilling terror returned tenfold."No, no. You’re not leaving," Xavier said, his voice dropping to a low growl. "You either take the shot, or the only place you’ll be going tonight is a prison cell."The men began to beg, tears welling in their eyes. They talked about their families, their kids, and how they were just low-level employees who no longer wanted the money. Xavier’s face twisted into a scowl. Without warning, he drew a small backup bow from his side, notched an arrow, and fired in one fluid motion.WHOOSH—THWACK!The arrow whistled past the group, piercing through the center of a janitor's baseball cap and nailing it to the wooden wall behind him. The man stood frozen, his eyes rolling back in his head as he nearly fainted."The next arrow goes through an eyeball," Xavier hissed. "You wan
CHAPTER 588
"That is impossible!" John gasped, his face pale as he stared at the arrow still quivering in the center of the board. "You must be using some trick! A charm? A hidden magnet? Only Xavier can make a shot like that under pressure—that’s why we won the national cup in the first place!"The bar was so quiet you could hear the drip of a leaky faucet behind the counter. Jake turned to Adrian, his eyes wide in shock. "Michael... how? If you’re really this good, you should have been on the national team years ago! Why are you scrubbing floors?"Adrian casually lowered the bow, his expression unbothered. "I trained a little bit back in the day. Nothing much," he said. He stepped toward the table and held out his hand. "The hundred thousand. Hand it over."John looked utterly defeated. His hand trembled as he reached into his bag and pulled out the thick, banded stacks of cash. The sight of the money made the janitors gasp in unison."Adrian! Wow!" Gerald exclaimed, his voice cracking with pur
CHAPTER 587
Adrian didn't even look at him. He was examining the string of the bow. "Nah. Not interested. Though you’re welcome to sign up to be mine later.""You bastard!" Xavier snapped.Jake pulled at Adrian again, his voice reaching a fever pitch. "Michael, please! Just do as they say! A few injuries are better than spending your life in a cell! I’m telling you, these people have the connections to ruin us!""Don’t worry," Adrian said, his voice strangely calm. "I’ve got this.""Got what?!" Bill shouted from the back. "See how much trouble you've gotten us into? A fifty-thousand-dollar bet and a trip to prison!"Adrian turned back to the champions. "Since the bet is still on, I win, we go free. And we take the fifty thousand."Xavier’s eyes flashed with a cruel light. "You want to play for real? Fine! Let’s make it one hundred thousand dollars!"The bar gasped. The wager had just doubled. The janitors felt the floor dropping out from under them."These people are a disgrace," someone from the
CHAPTER 586
Gerald took a deep breath. His hands were sweating as he struggled to notch the arrow. He pulled the string back, his muscles trembling under the tension. He squinted at the target, focused all his energy, and let go.Thwack!The arrow flew through the air, but it didn't fly straight. It wobbled and struck the very outer edge of the board, landing seven circles away from the center.The archery team erupted into cruel, booming laughter. "Pathetic!" Xavier shouted, clutching his sides. "See? This is why you are all bottom-feeders! Zero talent! All you can do is talk and mock your betters while you scrub our floors."The employees stood in stunned silence. The 50,000 dollars felt like it had just vanished into thin air. John laughed as he stepped forward, snatching the stack of cash back off the table and tucking it into his pocket. Then, his face turned cold."Now," John said, stepping into Gerald's personal space. "Pay up. You owe us fifty thousand dollars.""What?!" Gerald blurted o
CHAPTER 585
The heavy thud of security boots began to move toward their table. The other janitors scrambled away, leaving Adrian sitting alone in the middle of the storm, his eyes still calm, waiting for the first man to lay a hand on him.The three security guards, each built like a brick wall, closed in on Adrian. The air in the bar turned ice-cold. As the lead guard reached out to grab Adrian’s throat, something impossible happened. Adrian didn't even raise a hand; he simply stood up.A sudden, invisible ripple of energy exploded from his body. The three hefty guards were lifted off their feet as if a hurricane had just hit them, flying backward and crashing into the empty tables behind them. The sound of splintering wood filled the room as they groaned on the floor, unable to move.The entire bar went dead silent. The manager froze, his hand still on the counter, and the archery champions stared with wide, shocked eyes. Adrian calmly adjusted his blue janitor’s jacket and straightened his
CHAPTER 584
The movement was like a signal. The entire archery team stood up at once, scraping their chairs back. Xavier marched over, his face purple with rage. He pointed a finger at the floor by Adrian’s boots."Get on your knees," Xavier demanded. "Get on your knees right now and apologize for insulting a national champion, or I will make sure you never walk again."Jake was trembling now, his voice a frantic whisper. "Michael, please, just apologize! They’ll kill you!""Why should I apologize for my opinion on a terrible shot?" Adrian asked, leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed.The bar manager, seeing his VIP guests reaching the breaking point, rushed from behind the counter. He pushed his way through the crowd, his face sweating with panic."What is going on here?!" the manager cried out, looking from the furious champions to the calm janitor. The tension in the bar was thick. Xavier, his face contorted with arrogance, turned to the manager and pointed a trembling finger at Ad
