Chapter 141
Russell Sanders’ sudden reversal left Duncan Kirk so furious he nearly suffered a heart attack.Yet he did not dare openly offend the Sanders family. After all, the Kirk family was no longer what it once had been.Moreover, the Kirks had only a single daughter, and their decline was plain for all to see.Perhaps that was precisely why their daughter had clung so tightly to the Sanders family all these years.Angry and heartbroken, Duncan Kirk nevertheless forced himself to lower his stance and continue speaking to Russell Sanders with painstaking politeness.“Russell, you know very well that my daughter has no personal grudge against Adrian. Wasn’t she acting for the sake of the Sanders family—for your sake—when she did something as foolish as that kidnapping?”There was silence on the other end of the line. To Duncan Kirk, it felt like a glimmer of hope. He gripped the receiver tightly and pressed on.“The Kirk family doesn’t have many connections anymore, but your father is differen

Skyline City, Anping Village Police Station.Nicole Kirk sat in a chair in the lobby, one leg crossed over the other, her face brimming with smug satisfaction and unrestrained arrogance.The captain who had brought them in earlier wore a troubled expression, forced to plaster on a polite smile whenever his gaze landed on Nicole Kirk.Nicole Kirk waited cheerfully for Adrian and Daisy to come out.After about five minutes, Adrian finally emerged from the inner room, holding Daisy’s hand as they walked out together.During the statement-taking, Adrian and Daisy had recounted nearly every detail of what had happened. Yet the moment they saw Nicole Kirk sitting there as calm and self-assured as ever, both of their expressions darkened.Nicole Kirk stood up, lifting her chin as she looked down her nose at Daisy and Adrian.“I told you so. Even if you called the police, don’t even think you can keep me here.”Adrian frowned and turned to look at the captain of the precinct.The captain let

Daisy had said it herself—Adrian was terrifying enough to inspire genuine fear…Nicole Kirk’s expression darkened. But at this point, there was nothing left for her to do except urge the men in black to kill Adrian at all costs.Adrian pulled Daisy into his arms and lowered his head, speaking softly, “I’ll keep you safe. Stay close to me.”Daisy nodded. Her trust in Adrian was absolute.The moment she saw him break free of the ropes binding him, a deep sense of security settled in her heart.She believed he would get them out safely. Just looking at his figure was enough to make her feel completely at ease.Nicole Kirk fired several shots in succession, but they had no effect on Adrian. Just as she was about to pull the trigger again, her vision blurred—as if a shadow had flashed past her eyes.The next instant, cold sweat poured down Nicole Kirk’s back. She tried to speak, but could only swallow hard.Her gun was gone.Yet her hand was still frozen in the posture of pulling the trigg

Daisy told Nicole Kirk bluntly that Adrian was not someone to be provoked lightly.After hearing this, Nicole Kirk nodded, propped her chin on her hand, and gave a perfunctory smile, clearly not taking it to heart at all.Whether it was Daisy or anyone else, no matter how formidable they claimed Adrian to be, Nicole Kirk refused to believe he could be powerful beyond the limits of an ordinary human.Daisy lowered her head, lost in thought.Nicole Kirk chuckled softly. “Saying all this now is nothing more than an attempt to make me release you. But you should understand—I will never let you go.”“Why?” Daisy asked.Aside from the matter involving the Sanders family, Daisy believed she had never crossed them.“Why?” Nicole Kirk grew impatient. She brushed her bangs aside and fixed Daisy with a colder gaze. “My goal today is to use you to threaten Adrian. What would I gain by letting you go?”“Don’t waste your energy. When Adrian arrives, if he’s sensible enough, I’ll have them release

Neil Peterson looked at Adrian with concern and asked, “What’s wrong, Mr. Doyle?”Adrian quickly shook his head and took out his phone to send a message to Freya.When Freya replied that the signing was still ongoing, Adrian immediately and enthusiastically accepted Neil Peterson’s dinner invitation.He wasn’t particularly fond of social dinners, but compared to being tortured by endless contracts at the press conference until his eyes and ears ached, a meal sounded positively delightful.Seeing Adrian agree, Neil Peterson broke into a broad smile.“I’ve already booked a hotel. Let’s head over together!”Though it was called a social engagement, it was really just a small group sharing a meal. The conversation flowed freely, yet no one felt restrained.Neil Peterson was the first to raise a glass to Adrian.“Today, Skyline City’s martial arts world was spared humiliation entirely because of Mr. Doyle. We owe you our respect and gratitude.”Adrian waved it off. “It’s not as serious a

At that moment, more and more people noticed Yamasato Ki sprawled behind the promotional wall, his face drenched in blood, lying on the ground as if he had been brutally injured.Yamasato Ki struggled to lift his head, trying to call for help, but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.“Someone… help… help me…”Yet no one came to his aid. Few even heard him.And those who did were struck dumb by the scene before them.The spectators fell into silence. They truly hadn’t expected this young man to be so terrifyingly powerful.Even the people from the J. Ino Karate Dojo were momentarily speechless.Suzuki Taro in particular knew all too well that although Yamasato Ki was not on J. Ino’s level, he had already reached the early stage of the Mythical Tier—a figure of real standing in the martial world.Suzuki Taro could have accepted Yamasato Ki’s defeat.What he could not accept was that it had ended the moment it began—that in the blink of an eye, Yamasato Ki had lost all fighting capabili
