Chapter 249
It was obvious Adrian was playing dumb despite knowing exactly what was going on, yet Harrison Peterson didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect, spinning lies without even a moment’s thought.“I was just out for a walk and happened to pass by!”Adrian merely smiled and said nothing.Harrison Peterson didn’t dare oppose Adrian, yet leaving just like that didn’t feel right either, so he simply stood off to the side.Benson Evans couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Why was Harrison Peterson treating Adrian with such deference? It almost looked like fear.Those nearby naturally noticed as well, and soon began to mock Benson Evans.“Isn’t that the backup Supervisor Evans called in? Why does it feel like he switched sides?”“Huh? Wasn’t he brought here by that young man instead? No way, right?”“Who knows? Look at Supervisor Evans’ face—it’s practically green, hahaha!”Benson Evans clenched his teeth and strode over to Harrison Peterson.“Mr. Peterson, what’s going on?”Harrison Peterson imme

Benson Evans wiped the blood from his face and staggered to his feet.“You dare cross me?”Adrian looked at him as though he were a fool. After being knocked down twice, anyone with a shred of sense wouldn’t ask such a question.But Adrian had no intention of dealing with him just yet. He turned instead to Director Grant and the others from the orphanage.With Adrian’s sudden charge and two decisive blows, nearly all the Pink Heart Association staff had fled.Whether they had stayed to watch or to intervene, it was easier to act now that everyone had gathered.“Take a good look,” Adrian said evenly. “Who else came to the orphanage that day to cause trouble and take the money?”At his words, the orphanage staff began carefully identifying faces. Some of the association’s employees lowered their heads guiltily—only making themselves more conspicuous.Immediately, someone pointed.“Mr. Doyle, that one—I remember clearly. He has a mole on his chin. He even hit me!”Adrian noted the man an

The head of security finally realized that the people from the orphanage were all following Adrian’s lead.Director Grant alone had glanced at him more than once.With that, the captain raised his baton and pointed it straight at Adrian, chin lifted, nostrils flared, convinced of his own intimidation.“I’ll say this one more time—don’t take another step forwa—”Before he could finish, his body was sent flying backward more than ten meters. As he struggled to turn over, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.“And you think you’re in any position to warn me?”Adrian gave a faint, disdainful smile. The remaining guards snapped to attention, surrounding him. Though they appeared eager, not a single one dared to step forward.Adrian turned to Tabitha Grant and said calmly, “Take them back a few steps. Don’t get caught in this.”Tabitha nodded immediately, pulling Director Grant back. The rest of the orphanage staff retreated as well.“Y-you… don’t
Chapter 246
One of the orphanage staff obtained Tabitha Grant’s number from Director Grant and, without hesitation, placed the call.“…Ms. Tabitha Grant… the donation you and Mr. Doyle made has been seized by the Pink Heart Association…”In a private dining room at Heaven & Harmony Private Hospital, all the doctors who had participated in the surgery had gathered together. The most elated among them was undoubtedly Richard Ingram.Fine wine was served round after round. With the operation a success and no lingering concerns, everyone drank freely, faces flushed and spirits high.Whether from the Eagleshire medical team or the Novaland Republic, all were deeply intrigued by the traditional methods Adrian had employed.The one who drank the least was Sandy—her attention remained almost entirely fixed on Adrian.“Mr. Doyle, how did you manage to extract the fragments with your bare hands?”Adrian smiled faintly. “As I mentioned before, traditional medicine is not merely a system of healing—it also i

“So whatever you say becomes the law? Does the law serve only you?”“Don’t listen to his nonsense—make him return the money!”“If you don’t give us an answer today, don’t expect to walk away unscathed!”Seeing that intimidation had failed, Benson Evans’s face darkened instantly.Not only were these people not backing down, they were pressing forward, clearly intent on escalating the situation.If they were allowed to continue causing a scene here, who knew how far things might spiral?Evans had no intention of wasting time arguing. If the problem itself could not be resolved, then the people creating it would have to be dealt with.Since words had no effect, force would.They had already tried reasoning, both soft and hard—it was useless. Then let the guards step in. Once the blows landed and the pain set in, they would learn their lesson.With that thought, Evans shot a look at the head of security.“Go.”The captain immediately understood. Gripping his baton, he stepped forward. The

The head of security placed three consecutive calls, but none went through.Benson Evans had already set his phone to silent. Let alone three calls—even thirty would not reach him.The captain let out a heavy sigh. The situation downstairs was rapidly slipping beyond control.With no other choice, he dialed Evans’s assistant instead.The assistant’s expression turned grave as soon as he picked up. “Understood. I’ll go find Director Evans immediately.”Meanwhile, in his office, Benson Evans reclined comfortably on the sofa, looking thoroughly at ease. Peach Blossom lay sprawled across his lap, scarcely clothed.“You brute… you were so rough just now—you actually hurt me.”Evans grinned, thoroughly pleased with himself. Having taken several doses of enhancement pills, he was brimming with vigor.“I knew you’d enjoy it. Be good—we’ll go again in a bit.”As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and took another drag of his cigarette, exhaling lazily in perfect contentment.Knock, knock, knock.T
