RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 254
Adrian’s eyes widened as it dawned on him that a bullet had struck him, and he stumbled backwards from the scorching pain that shot up his chest. He clutched his heart and felt the warm liquid seeping through his hands. When he looked down, he saw that the crimson color was quickly spreading throughout his chest and dripping down his hands at an even faster rate. He turned towards the direction the bullet came from to see if he’d spot anyone, but no one was there. The streets were empty and quiet, save for the noise from the bikers. Kai had seen Adrian turning, so he quickly turned around and pressed himself to the wall to properly blend with it. A cruel smirk appeared on his face as he replayed what he had done. He raised the gun to his line of sight and stared at it with a hint of fascination in his eyes. “Finally,” he whispered maliciously. “It’s done.” With that, he risked another peek at Adrian and saw that he was no longer looking towards his direction. He quic
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 255
Adrian was lying shirtless and motionless on the operating table. His eyes were shut tightly, his skin extremely pale and clammy, and his lips had a slight blue tinge to them. His chest was still, and a tube connected to a ventilator was passed through his nose to help him breathe properly. The surgical team had also cleaned the blood that poured from his chest, but it was still bleeding, and it became a serious cause for concern. Doctor Arnold was momentarily frozen when he saw Adrian, and he had to blink severally to make sure he wasn’t imagining things. Never would he have expected that the patient he was treating was his boss, who had left the hospital completely fine just a few hours ago. His shock finally wore off after a few seconds and he sprang into action. For the next approximately five hours, Doctor Arnold and his team of surgeons performed an open heart surgery on Adrian to remove the bullet. Just as they were rounding up with the surgery, something unexpect

Doctor Arnold clutched the plastic evidence bag containing the bullet he extracted from Adrian’s body as he made his way toward the Wibston police station.He was going to meet with his forensic analyst friend to get answers regarding Adrian’s very strange case.The moment he entered the police station, he passed the lobby and headed straight to the adjoining building where the forensic laboratory was located.He pushed open the double white doors of the laboratory, and saw his friend looking into a microscope, oblivious to his entrance.“Ahem,” Doctor Arnold cleared his throat to get the middle aged man’s attention, and he looked up from his microscope.“Ahh, Arnold, my old friend,” his eyes lit up in recognition as he went around his workstation and approached Doctor Arnold. “Long time no see. What brings you here?” He extended his hands and Doctor Arnold shook it firmly. “Indeed, Justin,” Doctor Arnold replied before his expression became tighter. “I have something urgent to show
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 257
Doctor Arnold’s expression remained grim as he stepped out of the police station’s building.His entire body burned with the desire to find out the person who deliberately targeted and killed the young master.The moment he got into his car, he took out his phone with the aim of calling Jonah Leigh. If he couldn’t bring himself to break the news to Adrian’s father, maybe Jonah Leigh could do it.But he still dreaded Jonah’s reaction to the news.His thumb hovered over his phone screen for a moment longer before he finally decided to make the call.The line rang a few times before it connected. “Hello?” Jonah’s calm, but inquisitive voice came in through the receiver.Doctor Arnold took a huge gulp as his throat suddenly became dry. “M-Mr. Leigh, this is Arnold Lawson, Head Surgeon and Director of Lifemate Hospital.”“Doctor Arnold,” Jonah acknowledged, his tone warming up slightly. “To what do I owe this unexpected call? Is everything alright at the hospital?”Doctor Arnold hesitated

Blaze walked towards the building of the Black Viper clubhouse, and the moment he stepped in, a feeling of nostalgia washed over him as he inhaled the scent of cigarette smoke, sweat and liquor.The clubhouse had once been his second home, and he used to be a member of the club itself until he dropped out to focus on his martial arts training. He still visited occasionally, but it had been a long time since his last visit and tonight felt like the right time to do so.Adrian’s victory over Lawrence Smith and Kai had put him in a celebratory mood, and what better way to celebrate than with his former brothers?He saw the bikers all engaged in different activities. Some were playing card games, some playing snooker, while the others were being entertained by a couple of scantily dressed club girls.Kai spotted a few familiar faces at the snooker table, and he made his way over to them.“Brothers!” He greeted the moment he reached, and they all turned to him.For a second there was sile
RISE OF THE INVINCIBLE HEIR CHAPTER 259
The clubhouse was silent for a beat longer before the leader suddenly threw his head back and let out a loud sound of mocking laughter.His fellow bikers stared at him like he had grown two heads, but the man kept cackling and shaking his head in incredulity.Soon enough, his laughter died down and was replaced by a sneer as his gaze condescendingly raked over Jonah.“You really expect me to believe you know the powerful Young family just because you’re dressed in a damn suit?!” His lips curled into a scowl as he gestured to the other bikers. “Don’t let this man fool you brothers. He’s just bluffing. Go ahead and teach him a lesson!”The bikers hesitated as they shared wary glances with each other, but their leader was adamant.“Now!” He thundered. Just as they sprang into action, Blaze’s voice rang out in the room. “No one will lay a finger on him!”The leader frowned and turned to Blaze. “What the hell are you talking about, brother? Can’t you see that he insulted us?”Blaze didn’

Jonah visibly stiffened as his head slowly angled towards Blaze. “Lawrence Smith?” He repeated. “You mean the young master’s opponent for the Imperial Circle’s leadership?”“Exactly,” Blaze affirmed, his voice controlled, but his eyes glinted with growing anger. “I’m not one hundred percent sure, but my suspicions are strong. The young master defeated him in the duel and he seemed hungry for revenge. I guess attempting to kill—”“He didn’t attempt to kill the young master,” Jonah corrected before Blaze could finish, and his jaw locked as he tried to remain stoic faced. “He actually did it. The young master is dead.”Blaze’s eyes slowly enlarged and he subconsciously took a few steps back as his mind reeled.He had been of the notion that the young master was merely wounded by Lawrence and Kai.They killed him?So, his master was no more?No! Blaze shook his head and tightened his fists so hard, the veins on his biceps bulged.At that point all he could see was red, and he wanted blo

Doctor Arnold, Blaze and Jonah had just finished paying their last respects to Adrian and were set to leave the operating room.But just as they approached the exit, Jonah caught a sudden flash of light from his peripheral vision.He frowned and contemplated dismissing it as a minor malfunction of the room’s lightbulb. But then, the flash came again and he glanced up to see that the lightbulb was perfectly stable, not showing any signs of fluctuation.Finally, he turned to check what could could be causing such weirdness, and his eyes widened as he spotted the light pulsating beneath the white sheet covering Adrian.“Hold on,” he called out to Doctor Arnold and Blaze who immediately stopped and turned to him.They didn’t need to ask him why he stopped them because they saw the pulsating light beneath the white sheet for themselves.The three men hesitated out of uncertainty, but eventually they cautiously approached the operating table.This time around Doctor Arnold wasn’t the one t

Henry and Evelyn froze like deers caught in headlights as Adrian’s voice echoed throughout the hall. All eyes turned to them, and in that moment, they wished the ground would open up and swallow them whole. Evelyn was the first to regain her composure, and she instantly replied with a nervous chuckle. “Yes…but the thing is…” She trailed off as she scrambled for an excuse to give, and then it hit her. She quickly jabbed Henry’s stomach with her elbow, and the moment he winced, she wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “Henry suddenly developed a stomach upset!” She announced dramatically. “I need to take him to the hospital right away.” Henry immediately caught up to her plan and clutched onto his stomach, feigning more pained groans. “Ouch…it hurts.” Adrian cocked a brow as he instantly saw through their lies, and luckily for him, he was already two steps ahead. “That’s too bad,” he smacked his teeth in feigned sympathy. But then his expression lit up. “Fortunately, we have a
CHAPTER 299
The hall was thrown into a panic-filled frenzy as Natalie pulled the trigger, and everyone’s heart lodged in their mouths as they dreaded what they’d see.As soon as the gun fired, Adrian stepped in front of Anita, completely shielding her.The world around him blurred as a sudden feeling overtook him and he saw the bullet moving in slow motion.His hand instinctively shot out and before he could even process it, the bullet got trapped between his fingers.The hot metal of the bullet would have seared the hand of an ordinary human, but Adrian was far from ordinary. The moment he realized he had caught the bullet, the world around him returned to normal.Natalie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “H-How..?” The words fell from her lips, but she didn’t complete them as she pulled the trigger again, with more force this time.Luckily for her, she had been wise enough to load the gun with more than one bullet.Adrian saw the second bullet coming and in one swift motion, he caught it with his o
CHAPTER 298
As soon as Adrian made the announcement, all eyes turned to Anita, who looked completely stunned that the spotlight was on her.Adrian extended his hand toward her, a charming smile gracing his lips. “Come, Anita. Come to me.”Anita did her best to maintain a composed smile, hiding her unease as she gracefully approached Adrian.Regina and Vincent followed closely behind, their expressions equally confused.Anita was endowed in a shimmering, diamond studded powder-blue gown which had a thigh-high slit that revealed glimpses of her slender, toned legs as she walked.Her brown hair was styled in bouncy waves, and her beautiful features became more striking with the minimal makeup she had on.The guests all let out collective gasps as the spotlight followed her.Her flawless face, luscious hair, and the stunning dress made her seem like she had descended straight from heaven. Adrian was captivated by her radiating beauty, and couldn’t stop smiling.When Anita finally reached him and pla

The hug between Regina and Adrian lasted for a few seconds before Regina pulled back, and all the while Adrian’s eyes protruded from their sockets.He couldn’t just hide his shock.Regina’s hands lingered on his arms as she stared at him with affection. “I never thought I'd say this,” she admitted with a chuckle. “But I’m very grateful to you. I misjudged you, and I apologize for ever underestimating you.”It took Adrian a moment to regain his composure, and when he did, he offered Regina a warm smile. “It’s fine, mother-in-law. I’m just glad I’ve finally earned your approval.”Regina nodded. “I’m glad too. I hope this marks a new beginning between us moving forward.”And with that, Anita and her father joined in the hug to seal the emotional moment of reconnection and reconciliation.>>>>>The Engagement Day…The party was already in swing, although the main event hadn’t yet begun because Anita hadn't yet arrived.Dignitaries from all over Wibston were gathered in the grandiose hal
CHAPTER 296
Anita’s eyes widened as her legs twitched again…and again. “Oh my God!” Her breath hitched as she regained sensation in her limbs. “I can feel my legs! I can feel my legs!”Regina and Vincent froze, their gazes gluing to her trembling limbs in pure disbelief.“You can feel your legs?” Regina echoed shakily. Anita nodded frantically as her fingers dug into the sofa while her legs kept twitching uncontrollably. When Adrian felt like he had transferred enough energy to Anita’s spine, he let go of her hand.A deep breath escaped his mouth as he felt the drain of energy from his body. His vision blurred for a moment before stabilizing, and when he finally looked at Anita, she was staring at him in awe.“How do you feel now?” He asked in a slightly hoarse voice.Anita let out an incredulous laugh. “My legs…I can feel them.” Her voice sounded very excited. “I can even move my toes. Look…”She demonstrated her words by wiggling them, her eyes shining with childlike wonder. “Good.” Adrian
CHAPTER 295
Adrian maintained a serious expression as he met Anita’s confused gaze. “I have…abilities,” he confessed.Anita blinked, and she removed her hands from Adrian’s grip. “What?” Adrian inhaled and continued. “After coming in contact with the mystic scroll of an ancient Chinese grandmaster, I gained martial arts and healing abilities. I want to help you walk again, if you’ll let me.”There was a brief silence before Anita’s face contorted in deeper confusion. “This doesn’t make sense. How can a scroll give you abilities?”“Do you think we’re fools or something?” Regina scoffed from behind Adrian. “I thought you had changed from your slimy ways, but it seems I overestimated you.”“I have to agree with my wife on this one, son,” Vincent added with a frown. “Making a joke out of Anita’s condition is highly insensitive. I expected better from you.”Anita’s eyes glistened as she stared at Adrian with hurt written all over her face. “I can’t believe you would play with my feelings like this?
CHAPTER 294
The next day, Anita and Adrian sat in their living room at the Glorious Garden Estate, waiting for Anita’s parents to arrive.Anita’s heart pounded and she placed a hand on her chest, taking in deep breaths in a bid to calm it.Adrian noticed her anxiousness and squeezed her hand, though his was a bit sweaty. Today wasn’t just about Anita’s pregnancy revelation, it was also the day he’d propose to her and reveal his abilities. He tried his best to keep himself calm, despite how almost impossible it seemed.The moment Anita saw Regina and Vincent coming down the stairs, her nerves skyrocketed and she tightened her hand around his.“Breathe, Anita. It’ll all go smoothly,” Adrian whispered to her, though it felt more like he was assuring himself.Regina’s gaze landed on them the moment she reached the foot of the stairs, and her steps slowed as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.“What’s going on?” She voiced out as her eyes alternated between their awkward expressions. Vincent, on th
CHAPTER 293
The sales lady paused in her tracks at Evelyn’s words, and her eyes nervously darted to Adrian, unsure of what to do. “Sir…”“Ignore her,” Adrian interjected in an indifferent tone. “Just get me the ring. Whatever the price is, I’ll pay.”The saleslady nodded and was about to take another step forward when Evelyn dragged her back by the collar. You dare ignore me?!” Evelyn hissed with her hands raised in a bid to slap the lady, but Adrian quickly intercepted the hit by catching her wrist mid-air.He flung it back to her side, and gave her a hard stare. “Don’t lay your hand on her again. You have no right to.”The last shred of control in Henry snapped and he lunged at Adrian, grabbing him by the collar.“How dare you lay your filthy hands on my girlfriend!” He spat, his eyes shooting lasers at Adrian’s face. “It seems you must be seeking death!”Adrian’s gaze flickered down to Henry’s hand fisting his collar, then back up to meet his glare. “You have exactly five seconds to get your
CHAPTER 292
Three days later…Anita was finally discharged from the hospital, and Adrian took her back to their house. There was another emotional reunion; this time between Anita and her father, Vincent, who had just returned from a spiritual center, where he had gone to pray for her speedy recovery. He wasn’t happy to see his daughter in a wheelchair, but was grateful she was alive nonetheless.Speaking of Anita’s condition, Adrian had tried to heal her back at the hospital, but his attempts had failed.He restlessly wondered why until Grandmaster Xu appeared to him in a dream-like trance and told him that his abilities would only work on Anita if she knew about them….and believed in them.Because to be healed, one had to believe.Therefore, Adrian came up with an elaborate plan to break the news to her.He would do it as part of the special birthday package he had organized for her. A package that included his proposal and the lavish engagement party he had promised her some weeks ago.Her a
