Chapter 66
Chapter Sixty-SixAs the exam hall doors slammed shut behind Silas, who was practically being carried out by his own shaking legs, a heavy silence fell over the remaining students. No one dared to breathe. They looked at Adrian not as a scholarship rat, but as a monster hidden in plain sight.Lina finished her paper with trembling hands, her eyes never leaving the back of Adrian’s head. Who was this man she had lived with for years?After the exam ended, Adrian and Lina walked out of the academy’s main hall. The sun was setting, casting shadows over the campus. At the school gates, a massive crowd had gathered.Ten black SUVs were parked in a perfect line, completely blocking the exit. Men in dark suits and sunglasses stood like stone statues, and in the middle stood Long Wei. His face was still bruised from their last encounter, but his eyes were full of a desperate, ugly rage.“Adrian!” Long Wei shouted, his voice shaking with rage. “You think passing some stupid exam and getting a

Chapter Sixty-FiveThe entire exam hall fell into a suffocating silence. Hundreds of pairs of eyes jumped from the shaking Proctor Zale to the pale, trembling Julian Vale, and finally to Adrian, who was casually leaning back in his hard plastic chair as if he were watching a movie.Julian breath hitched. “That is impossible! My father is the head of the Vale logistics empire! There’s more than enough in the account! And we have supported this institution every year, now you want to punish me, just because of this scumbag?" Silas walked in hoping Adrian was already sweating by now but was surprised to see his brother and proctor Zale cornered. knowing fully well that they were ruined he tried to fake a strong face, with his hand trembling around his phone.“There was,” the proprietor said, his voice cold as he signaled the two men in suits. “But as of five minutes ago, the Vale accounts have been frozen under a global financial investigation by the Grand Azure Trust. You aren’t just b

Chapter Sixty-FourThe iron gates of Greenhigh Academy hissed shut, locking Adrian inside the dark campus. Silas stood under a flickering streetlight, his shadow stretching long and jagged across the wall. There were six men behind him who weren't students; their uniforms were bursting from muscles, and their eyes stayed fixed on Adrian’s throat."Silas," Adrian said, stepping towards him. He didn't look at the metal pipe. He didn't even look at the thugs. He turned back and gestured Lina to stand in his shadow. "It’s midnight. Don't you have a textbook to open? I heard the exam is tough this year.""The only thing that's going to be tough is your skull," Silas hissed and signaled the men. "He’s just a student with a lucky streak. Break his legs and throw him in the boiler room. I’ll tell the Principal he never showed up."The tallest thug stepped forward, cracking his knuckles like dry wood. "Sorry, kid. It's just business."He swung a heavy fist, aiming to end the fight in one blow.

Chapter Sixty-threeJulian Thorne stood there frozen.His face slowly changed from red to pale white. The Western Port, the biggest prize in the entire city, had just slipped out of his hands. All because of one phone call from a guy wearing a hoodie.The billionaires in the room started backing away from him. In this city, if you lose that much money in ten minutes, you aren't a player anymore. You're a corpse."The paper, Julian," Adrian said. His voice wasn't loud, but it made the room go quiet. "And the watch. I don't like to say things twice."Julian’s hands shook as he took off his five-million-dollar watch. He put it on the tray next to the deed for the port. Without saying a word he just turned around and ran out of the hall like a dog with its tail between its legs.Adrian picked up the watch and tossed it to Andrew like it was a piece of junk. "Here, Uncle. Use this to keep track of when the trash gets picked up at the Palace."Andrew caught it, his mouth hanging open. Marth
Chapter 62
Chapter Sixty-twoThe ballroom of the Grand Grandier was a cathedral of arrogance, but as Adrian and Lina crossed the threshold, the silence followed them like a shadow. The elite stood frozen, champagne flutes halfway to their lips, watching the scholarship rat lead the most beautiful woman in the room toward the center of the hall.Chloe and Long Wei were nowhere to be seen, probably still fuming at the service entrance, but the atmosphere remained thick with unspoken questions.At the far end of the ballroom was a raised platform reserved for the most powerful figures in the province.And sitting there was a man who made even the Governor look small.He was younger than most of the tycoons around him. His charcoal grey suit seemed to swallow the light around it.This was Julian Thorne, CEO of Thorne Global. The only business empire in the Capital that had dared challenge the Grand Azure Trust in recent years.As Adrian approached, Julian stood up and gave a sharp smile, predatory e

Chapter Sixty-oneThe Capital Spring Gala was not just a party. It was where rich people came to measure power. The whole event was held at the Grand Grandier Hotel. Everywhere you looked there were custom tuxedos, diamond covered gowns, and people important enough to influence the country’s money.Outside the entrance, paparazzi and elite security formed a tight wall. Cameras flashed every second. Whenever a Maybach or Bentley pulled up, photographers shouted names and guards bowed slightly.Long Wei stood near the entrance, trying to look calm in a three piece suit that probably cost more than a small house. Beside him, Chloe Andrews stood proudly in an emerald gown, holding her Executor seal like it was a royal crown.“They won’t even reach the curb,” Chloe whispered while scanning the arriving cars. “I already talked to the head of security. Any car not on the Golden Registry is to be towed immediately. And I personally removed the Vales from the list.”Long Wei smirked.“Losing a
