Chapter Three Hundred and Ten - The Black Archer
Two days after the confrontation on the quiet street, Ezra called Adrian into her office, her expression more serious than usual."There's something I should have told you sooner," she said, closing her office door behind him."What is it?" Adrian asked, settling into the chair across from her desk."I've noticed someone following me for the past several months," Ezra admitted. "Whenever I leave the company late in the evening. I initially thought it was paranoia, given everything that's happened with the company recently, Victor's sabotage, Patricia's betrayal. But it's continued long enough that I no longer believe it's coincidence.""Why didn't you say anything?" Adrian asked."I didn't want to worry anyone unnecessarily," Ezra said. "I've increased my personal security detail, but whoever it is has remained careful enough to avoid direct confrontation, staying just distant enough that my guards never quite catch them."Adrian's expression sharpened, memories of the mysterious atta
Chapter Three Hundred and Nine - The Test
Corey's parents arrived at the hospital that afternoon, finding their son propped up in bed, bruises visible along his jaw and forearm, though nothing had required serious medical intervention beyond overnight observation."What happened?" his mother demanded, rushing to his bedside."I told you already on the phone," Corey said, wincing as he shifted position. "That new kid, Adrian. He wasn't even trying, and he completely destroyed me."His father's expression carried barely contained fury as he studied his son's injuries. "This is unacceptable. Do you understand who our family is? Nobody embarrasses us this way and simply walks away without consequence.""I know," Corey said. "But Dad, you don't understand. He wasn't fighting like a normal person. Every move I made, he countered before I even finished. It was like he already knew exactly what I was going to do.""That's not possible for someone with no known cultivation background," his father said, frowning deeply. "We've research
Chapter Three Hundred and Eight - Study Partner
Joey couldn't stop thinking about it.She sat at her desk that evening, replaying the fight in her mind over and over, the way Adrian had moved with such effortless precision, holding back so obviously that even his restraint had left an experienced fighter completely humiliated.Nothing about him added up.The following morning, she cornered Divine before school, unable to hold back her curiosity any longer."Where does Adrian actually come from?" Joey asked, settling beside her cousin on the kitchen counter.Divine glanced up from her phone, immediately wary. "Why are you asking?""I'm just curious," Joey said. "He beat that guy yesterday without even trying. And those men on the street, he took them down in like a minute. That's not normal for a regular teenager.""I don't know much about him," Divine said, her tone clipped."You've been at this school longer than me," Joey pressed. "You must know something. Where's he from originally? What's his family like?""I really don't know,
Chapter Three Hundred and Seven - The Challenge
Corey couldn't let it go.Word of his humiliation near the school entrance had spread just as quickly as his original rumor had, students whispering now about how easily Adrian had dismantled his lies in front of everyone. For someone whose family carried significant weight within Newton City's social circles, someone who had never once faced public embarrassment without immediate consequences following, the experience left him seething.He doesn't know who my family is, Corey thought bitterly, pacing his room that evening. If he did, he never would have humiliated me like that.His father owned several properties across the city, connections stretching deep into local business and political circles. Corey had grown up understanding that his family's influence meant consequences rarely landed on him the way they landed on ordinary students.By the following morning, he'd already begun quietly working his connections, spreading word among his own circle of friends about wanting to prop
Chapter Three Hundred and Six - The Rumor
By the following week, the story of what happened on that quiet street had twisted into something almost unrecognizable."I heard Joey planned the whole thing," a girl whispered near the lockers. "Set it up so those guys would grab her, just so Adrian would come save her.""That's insane," her friend replied. "Why would anyone do that?""Attention," the first girl said. "She's new. Wants people to notice her. What better way than getting the mysterious rich guy to rescue her?"Joey heard fragments of this exact conversation as she walked past, her stomach twisting with disbelief and anger.By lunchtime, the rumor had grown even further, several students openly staring at her, whispering behind their hands as she passed."I heard she paid those guys," one boy said loudly enough for her to hear. "Just to get close to the new heir."Joey's face burned, humiliation and fury tangling together as she found an empty table to sit at alone, unable to face the growing whispers surrounding her.
Chapter Three Hundred and Five - Never Again
Sam found himself thinking about Aria far more than he should have over the following days. He told himself repeatedly that it meant nothing, that it was simply curiosity about the newcomer who had suddenly become part of the household, but the thought kept resurfacing regardless of how many times he tried to dismiss it.He passed by her room later that week, noticing the door slightly ajar, Aria inside tidying up the space that had become hers since moving into the mansion.He knocked lightly before stepping inside without waiting for a response."Sorry to bother you," he said, glancing around the room as though searching for something. "I think I left something important in here, back when this was still my old study before the renovation."Aria paused, folding a shirt she'd been putting away. "I haven't seen anything unusual. Just my own things so far.""Mind if I take a quick look?" Sam asked, already moving further into the room without waiting for permission."Go ahead," Aria sa
