CHAPTER 637
The golden-plated barrel of the General’s pistol was inches from Adrian’s forehead, but the sergeant, still trembling on the ground, let out a desperate, choked cry."General, please! Don't do it! If you value your life, stay your hand! You saw what he did to Frederick? You saw how he ripped his arm away like paper? This man will shred every soldier in this yard into bloody pieces before your finger can even pull that trigger!"The sergeant then turned his tear-streaked face toward Adrian, his voice cracking with a plea for mercy. "Please, sir! He doesn't know you! His rank blinds him! Forgive him, we beg of you!"Adrian looked down at the huddled elite team, his gaze softening slightly. The icy aura around him didn't vanish, but the immediate threat of a massacre seemed to pull back. "Get up," Adrian said calmly. "I am not in the mood for any more violence today."The soldiers of Delta One scrambled to their feet, their faces filled with a mixture of shock and pure, ecstatic relief.
CHAPTER 636
The General’s face contorted, his veins bulging against his neck until they looked like they might burst. He looked at his elite Delta team groveling in the dirt like beaten dogs. The sight was an insult to everything he stood for."What the hell are you talking about?" the General roared, his voice cracking with fury. "I ordered you to beat the living daylight out of this bastard! He slaughtered my nephew! And you dare apologize to him? Do you want to die a miserable death right next to him? Stand up at once! That is an order!"But the men remained frozen. In the military, disobeying a five-star General was a crime punishable by death, but the soldiers didn't care. They had seen the face of the man in front of them, and they knew that the General’s firing squad was a mercy compared to the wrath of Adrian."I’m sorry, General... we can't," the sergeant whispered, his forehead still pressed against the cold concrete."What?" the General screamed, stepping forward and kicking the serg
CHAPTER 635
Vanessa spun around to face him, her eyes wide with terror. "Adrian, what are you doing? This is not Frederick! This is a General! Just one word from him and he will feed us to the dogs! Think about Victor! Think about us!"The General’s face darkened until it was almost purple. A cold, professional desire for slaughter had replaced the greed in his eyes. He had been insulted in front of his troops, and for a man of his rank, that was a crime worse than murder."Since you have a death wish," the General hissed, "I will be happy to grant it."He turned to a group of soldiers wearing black berets and specialized gear. "Delta One Force! Move in!"A dozen elite soldiers stepped forward, their heavy boots thudding against the dirt."Bundle this madman for starters!" the General commanded, pointing a gloved finger at Adrian. "Take him and give him two hundred strokes of the razor-blade cane! If he shakes, if he even flinches, start the count all over again! And after he is broken... after h
CHAPTER 634
Vanessa froze. Her silence was the only answer he needed.The General didn't wait for a formal invitation. He snapped his fingers, and a squad of soldiers stormed into the house. They didn't need a map, they found the shattered floorboards in the parlor and the gaping hole leading to the vault.Moments later, the soldiers emerged, carrying heavy, mud-caked wooden crates. They set them down in the yard, right in front of the General. With the butt of a rifle, one soldier smashed open the lid of the top crate.The General’s eyes widened, the murderous rage replaced by a blinding, feverish greed. He reached out, his white-gloved hand trembling as he picked up a single gold bar. He turned it over, feeling its weight, and saw the pure, yellow glint under the helicopter's spotlights. He looked at the other crates, diamonds, pearls, and stack upon stack of bullion.This wasn't just money. This was more wealth than the national budget of some countries. Trillions of dollars sat in front of
CHAPTER 633
The silence that followed the General’s roar was like that of a graveyard, except for the rhythmic sound of the helicopter blades above. For a full minute, no one moved. Vanessa felt as though her lungs were burning, she couldn't breathe, her heart hammering against her ribs as she clutched Victor so tightly the boy whimpered.One thousand rifles were leveled at them. One thousand fingers were a fraction of an inch away from pulling triggers that would turn the bungalow with them into dust.Then, Adrian broke the silence. He didn't flinch. He raised a hand, his voice cool and steady. "I was the one."The General’s chest heaved, his face turning a deep, angry shade of red. "Do you have any idea what you have just done?" he hissed, his voice trembling with a mixture of grief and pure malice. "I will make you regret this for the rest of your life. For killing my nephew, you and your entire bloodline will pay. You will lie in your own blood before this sun fully sets."Adrian didn't look
CHAPTER 632
"It is real," Adrian said, his voice echoing softly. He picked up a handful of raw diamonds from a burst-open crate. "And it is even worth more than I originally calculated. Just these diamonds alone... they are worth trillions of dollars. This isn't just a fortune, Vanessa. It is generational wealth. And it is all yours."Vanessa stood frozen, the gold bar still heavy in her hand. For a moment, the reflection of the treasure shone in her eyes. But then, slowly, the excitement began to fade. Her face dimmed, replaced by a look of deep, quiet sadness."I can't have it," she whispered.Adrian looked at her, genuinely surprised. "What? Why? Legally, this house and everything under it belong to you now. There is no living owner. You and Victor would never have to work another hour in your lives. You could own the world."Vanessa shook her head, placing the gold bar back onto the stack. "I didn't work for this, Adrian. I didn't earn it. This gold... it was stolen money from a century ago.
