Chapter 27: The Proud Newman Family
“What? After that brat spat in the Mafia’s face, you want to recruit him instead of striking back?”“Boss, forget avenging Camden Tate—those few sentences alone are an insult we can’t swallow.”The upper echelon bristled, pushing Quentin Newman to rethink. Even Conrad Owen let his smile die. The Five Tigers rose and fell together; Camden’s humiliating defeat left a bitter taste that demanded redress.“Adrian Doyle, a nobody, cripples Camden Tate—and we go to woo him? We lose the upper hand immediately. If he refuses…”Conrad didn’t finish. The thought dragged everyone down. If Adrian spurned the Mafia, their reputation would take a public dent.Quentin understood the risk—and still chose his course. “One Adrian, by himself, means little. But a man with his gifts may draw Lord Buddha’s eye.”They all grasped it now. The Mafia’s current standing was largely thanks to Lord Buddha. And the reason Lord Buddha favored them was simple: they were strong.Constantly bringing in rare talent—tha
Chapter 26: Transcendent Tier
The gale from the punch tore through the courtyard like a small hurricane.The ground crazed into a web of fractures; fissures climbed the walls. Ornaments toppled, shards of glass skittered and sang across the floor in a crackling rain.Dust surged up, stinging throats and lungs; it took a few hacking breaths before anyone could see straight again.Silence fell as every gaze hunted for Adrian and Camden Tate.When the scene finally resolved, no one spoke. It wasn’t for lack of words—it was because the sight had stunned them mute.Camden Tate had lost—utterly.He lay sprawled, motionless for a long beat, face mottled with bruises and swelling. Blood trickled from his mouth, soaking his collar. He looked wrecked.His eyes, wide with disbelief, locked on Adrian—who stood there without a hair out of place.It had taken Adrian a single exchange to crush him.Noise rippled around them as the shock loosened its grip.The head of security found his voice first, awe spilling out. “Miss, you’v
Chapter 25: The Mafia
Daisy’s urgency spiked; she grabbed Adrian’s arm to stop him. “Are you crazy? He’s not some random thug—he’s a trained fighter. Go inside, now!”Adrian only smiled, a faint lift of the shoulders as he gently moved Daisy aside and stepped forward. “Him? A so-called martial artist? Spare me.”At that, Camden Tate’s brows pinched with irritation. He gave Adrian a slow, haughty once-over. Arrogance was his second skin.To him, this wiry kid barely warranted contempt. He’d already reached the Master Tier. A special forces soldier was one punch to him; what was this string bean?That was the source of his swagger.“The Hill family has its moments,” Camden drawled, “but crossing the Mafia won’t profit you. This punk laid hands on Jefferson—he slapped the Mafia across the face. I can’t ignore that. Otherwise, how do I hold Skyline’s east side? How do I explain it to my men? Miss Daisy, my advice: don’t meddle.”It sounded righteous, but the truth was simpler: the Sanders family paid handsomel
Chapter 24: Leukemia
“Told him he was about to die, then fixed it for him. Problem solved,” Adrian said offhandedly.Daisy blinked, baffled.About to die? Problem solved?If he didn’t want to explain, he could’ve just said so—why the runaround?Tch, forget it if you won’t talk. Catching her sulk in the rearview mirror, Adrian was just as confused.Women’s hearts are fathomless. He was only telling the truth—how had that offended her?He clamped his mouth shut. The more you say, the more you risk.Before long, they pulled up in front of a villa, not far from the Hill family estate.Adrian couldn’t help his curiosity. Whoever lived here had to be someone significant.As he wondered, he saw a girl waiting at the gate.She wore a white dress that floated in the breeze, ethereal and strikingly beautiful.Her long white hair lifted with the wind; her skin was so pale it was almost translucent.Adrian was caught, for a heartbeat, by the shock of that beauty—then sensed something wrong.The girl ran toward the ca
Chapter 23: Hill Group’s Predicament
In the empty alley, several burly men in black lay sprawled at Adrian’s feet.“Still not talking?” Adrian twisted one man’s arm without expression. Sweat beaded across the man’s brow under the pain.“R-Russell Sanders sent us…”“See? Would’ve been easier to say that sooner.”Adrian shook his head, picked up the bag he’d set aside, and strode out of the alley. He’d barely reached the street when his phone rang.“Hello—”Before he could speak, Freya’s voice tumbled through the line, breathless. “Adrian, I just saw Russell Sanders at our office. He’s here for Miss Daisy again, I’m sure of it. Get back. Now!”“On my way.”He flagged a car and headed for the company at speed.…Hill Group, President’s Office.“Miss Daisy, you look as composed as ever. I wonder if you’ll keep your poise when you see your company’s losses,” Russell Sanders drawled, his greasy smile making the air feel unclean.“If you came only to say that, Mr. Sanders, you can leave.” Daisy didn’t bother to look up at him.
Chapter 22: The Eerie Buddha Amulet
When the employee blurted it out, Stuart Thompson sensed it too.The amulet he wore day and night—the Buddha figure on it had opened its eyes.Worse, a faint chorus of children’s laughter rippled around him. It wasn’t like any laughter he’d heard before. It was saturated with malice.Even standing near Stuart, everyone felt a chill seeping in from all directions.“Help… help!”His eyes bulged.When had he ever seen anything like this? He’d bought the amulet for luck and wealth—now it wanted his life?On the other side, Freya was trembling from head to toe. She’d expected a routine collections call, not this. Scenes from every horror film she’d ever watched flipped through her mind like a stuttering reel.Amid the panic, Adrian simply regarded Stuart with a steady, impassive gaze. The sudden manifestation didn’t ruffle him in the slightest.“Brother—no, Master!”Seeing Adrian stand like a rock in a storm, Stuart crumpled to his knees. Clawing at the amulet, drenched in sweat, he pleade
