Chapter 95
Adrian looked at the four of them as if they were idiots, then absently touched his own face.“I admit, I did kill quite a few just now.”Quite a few? It was over three hundred! Quentin Newman and the others screamed inwardly.“But I don’t kill indiscriminately. If I wanted you dead, I’d have done it already. Why wait until now?”Quentin swallowed hard. “Then… why are you here? What do you want from us?”He rushed to add, “As long as you don’t kill us, we’re willing to pay—handsomely.”The other three bobbed their heads in frantic agreement, terrified of falling behind.“Money, women, property, art—whatever you want, I can provide,” Tessa Dawson said. If Adrian so much as nodded, she’d produce it on the spot.Adrian grinned. Tempting as the offer was, he had something else in mind.“What if I want your allegiance?”The four of them grimaced in unison, exchanged a look, and let out a collective sigh.“What? Unwilling? Then I suppose I’ll have to kill—”“It’s not that we’re unwilling!”
Chapter 94
“Conrad Owen? You’re the sharpest of the Five Tigers, aren’t you?”Adrian regarded Conrad with a half-smile. He had already noticed it during the fight: Conrad showed up plenty, yet always at the most convenient moments. And when it was over and everyone was injured, Conrad had gotten off with the lightest wounds. How could that not be called clever?Among the more than three hundred men, Conrad was also, without question, one of the brightest. Otherwise, how else could he be the only one still standing there with ease?Conrad gave a fawning chuckle. “Mr. Adrian, you see, I was just following orders—and I barely lifted a finger. You’re a generous man. Why not let me go?”Seeing that Adrian wasn’t moved, yet didn’t look like he’d kill him outright, Conrad dared to take two steps forward.“Mr. Adrian, I can’t harm you in the slightest now. As long as you spare me, I swear—next time I see you, I’ll give you a wide berth. I won’t take a single step closer!”He was one oath short of callin

As the killing blow seemed about to land, the smile at Crane Sage’s lips grew triumphant.He was a man of the Storm Ranking. No one had ever taken his full-strength strike without paying dearly.At the last instant, Adrian brought up both fists.A thunderclap split the air.Crane Sage’s face changed. The clash between two powerhouses seemed to freeze the atmosphere itself.Wave after wave of force condensed into something almost tangible. Crane Sage’s wide sleeves shredded; his robe came apart in ragged strips.His eyes only grew more fevered.The delicate throwing knife ignored the raging currents, splitting from one into a dozen mid-flight, all with a single target:Adrian.Die. Die.Crane Sage wanted to howl at the sky, his twisted expression enough to chill the blood.Adrian’s face did not change.A heartbeat later, the knives reached him.Crane Sage’s delight burst free. “Hahahahaha! My blade never returns to my hand without tasting blood!”“Is that so? You sure?”The contempt in

Adrian watched the survivors shriek and scatter, cold-eyed, then brushed his hands together.That batch—done.Even if some were still breathing, they’d lost all will to fight.Tabitha stared, dazed, mouth open, while Daisy swallowed hard. “H-he’s… that strong? Over three hundred people—and he’s already won?”It wasn’t just Tabitha. Daisy and the driver, though they’d seen Adrian’s terrifying prowess before, still struggled to believe he’d taken down more than three hundred on his own.And without a scratch.It defied belief.The driver tapped the steering wheel. He could stop planning an escape.But his nerves remained taut as wire.Adrian glanced at the sealed car door, then at the driver.The driver understood at once: Adrian didn’t want them assuming it was safe and stepping out.He nodded quickly. He wouldn’t open the door. Not for anything.With his rear secured, Adrian’s gaze slid past the parked vehicles to the white van that had never opened its doors.An executive business mo

From the last three heavy trucks, the logo of the Big Dipper Group blazed across the sides—so large even the blind could have spotted it.When the Nanhai Trading Company thugs had all disembarked but those trucks stayed quiet, Adrian clicked his tongue and called out to them, “The Big Dipper Group really knows how to make an entrance. Your people are all on the ground, and they’re still sitting pretty—clearly letting you know they outrank you.”“Shut it!” Norman Russell snapped. But it wasn’t just the Five Tigers—faces darkened across the other two factions as well.At last, the Big Dipper trucks stirred.Two to three hundred men filed down, features varied, all in camouflage. Foreigners.Mercenaries?Adrian smiled. The Big Dipper Group had gone all in—hiring guns and making a play for certainty.And still, every last one of them would die here tonight.He swept his gaze over the three hundred-plus assembled.To him, they were exactly what he’d expected—ants, all of them.Tabitha pres

“We’re being tailed.”The driver had noticed the cars behind them as well. Face set, he worked the wheel, trying to shake them through speed changes and detours.But no matter what he tried, the same familiar license plates kept surfacing in the rearview mirror.Their pursuers were clever—melding into traffic, looping around on purpose to stay invisible.“Mr. Doyle, they don’t look like ordinary people.”Adrian chuckled. “I see that. With tracking this subtle, even if we called the police, they wouldn’t be able to pin anything down.”That was clearly their calculation—obvious in a way that still wasn’t “obvious.”The driver nodded. “I count seven cars.”“No—eight.”Adrian narrowed his eyes at a white sedan slipping out of the flow. Not one more, not one less: eight.“Eight cars?”Tabitha sobered up at once, anxiety chasing the last of the alcohol from her system.Daisy struggled upright, trying to look out the back, but Adrian covered her eyes and eased her down again.“Don’t worry ab
