The Devil in Cell Block D
Chapter 61For the next few hours after they left the slums, the rain in Aethelgard fell like the sky was opening a freaking gigantic tap on you.Joe drove the armored SUV like he was playing a video game with a broken controller. He swerved around a pothole the size of a jacuzzi, drifting the heavy vehicle through the slick streets of Sector 2."So, let me get this straight," Joe shouted over the roar of the engine and the drumming rain. "The homeless guy? The one who smelled like cabbage and dead rat? He’s the super-villain?""He’s not a super-villain, Joe," Adrian said, checking the magazine of a pistol he had confiscated from a Red Scorpion. "He’s an architect really, some sort of a visionary. And apparently, a homicidal maniac."Adrian winced as the car hit a speed bump. His ribs, still knitting together under the System’s care, gave a sharp throb of protest.[ SYSTEM STATUS: REPAIRING (72%). ][ ADVISORY: AVOID SUDDEN MOVEMENTS, EXPLOSIONS, AND FALLING OFF SKYSCRAPERS. ][ ENER
Crumbs From The Master's Table
Chapter 60Marcus Vane, the former tycoon of Aethelgard, dropped to his knees in the filth of the floor and crawled toward Adrian."Lord Black," Marcus wheezed, his voice cracking. "My lord, please...""Father, get up!" Evelyn shrieked, mortified. "Don't beg him! He's the reason we're here!""Shut up!" Marcus roared at his daughter, a flash of his old temper surfacing. "You don't understand power! He won! He is the King now and he can help us!"Adrian didn't say a word, he simply stood there and watched as Marcus reached and grabbed the hem of his trousers. He kissed the fabric like it was a display of submission so total it made Adrian’s stomach turn."Please," Marcus sobbed, looking up with bloodshot eyes. "I can't take this anymore. The cold, the hunger and all the rats. Those bloodsuckers actually bite our feet at night. We are dying here, Adrian. I beg you. Have mercy."Adrian looked down at the man who had framed his father. The man who had kicked him into the mud and refused t
Oh, How The Mighty Has Fallen
Chapter 59A few hours and many ‘Whoas!’ from Joe later, they finally landed the chopper as they arrived at the medical bay of the Black Estate which smelled of ozone and expensive bacta-gel.Adrian sat on the edge of the bio-bed, his shirt off, revealing a tapestry of fresh bruises that were already turning a sickly shade of purple. A long, thin laceration ran across his chest, a clear mark from the kiss of the Null-Blade.Joe stood nearby, holding an ice pack like it was some kind of relic, looking pale.“Did you really have to meet the murderous bastard with the cool sword looking thing?" Adrian would have scoffed if he wasn't so distressed with his injuries and the thought of Julian still being out there, living in denial. “It's something that had to be done," he replied with a shrug. "You fell off a building," Joe repeated for the tenth time, pacing the room. "A skyscraper. You fell off the Helios Tower. And you're just sitting there? Eating an apple?"Adrian took a crunch of
Brothers Also Throw You Off A Tower
Chapter 58 As he arrived at the designated spot to meet Kael, the wind atop the Helios Tower screamed like a banshee, tearing at the loose fabric of Adrian's suit. It was the highest point in the industrial district, a skeletal spire of rusted steel and blinking warning lights that pierced the smog layer.It was the perfect place for a family reunion.Adrian stood on the grated walkway, rain lashing his faces and his breath came in ragged gasps, his chest heaving from the climb and the skirmish with the perimeter drones. Opposite him, standing on the very edge of the abyss, was the Overseer.The Mayor had said he'd be hard to find, but nothing was hard for Adrian Black. Not with the help of the system. The Overseer didn't look like a monster, nah. In fact, he didn't look anything like the Butcher. He rather looked like some sort of a mirror.The Overseer wore a sleek, white suit that shimmered with kinetic dampening fields, tech far more advanced than anything Adrian had seen on t
Blood at the Ballot Box
Chapter 58Sterling froze at his words. "What?!" "You heard me, Sterling. I'm running for Mayor," Adrian announced. "And I'm not going to spend a dime on campaigns. I'm just going to show them the truth. I'm going to show them the androids, I'm going to show them the mask. I'm going to show them you."Adrian turned to the window, looking out at the city."By tomorrow morning, your approval rating will be single digits. By next week, you'll be lucky if you aren't dragged out of this office by a mob. I don't bargain with criminals, Solomon. I replace them."Sterling slumped into his chair. He looked aged and deflated. The arrogant architect of the city was watching his foundation crumble in real-time."You... you can't do this," Sterling whispered. "You don't understand the game. There are forces above me. The Overseer...""The Overseer is next," Adrian said. "Once I take your seat, I'll have the authority to hunt him down. I'll find him, and I'll finish what my father started."Sterl
Knock, Knock. Successor Black
chapter 56Adrian hissed as he saw the system chime again before he could decide who was driving the submarine. “I cleared all the missions!" He hissed. “I need to pay my father's old factory a visit." [SYSTEM ALERT][GAME IS HOST’S PRIORITY] Adrian groaned and finally accepted the offer. The next eight hours were a blur of blue text, broken bones, and hostile takeovers.The System, seemingly realizing that Adrian was no longer content with playing the tutorial, accelerated the timeline. It threw missions at him like a machine gun firing tracer rounds.[ MISSION: PORT AUTHORITY. ][ OBJECTIVE: SEIZE THE DOCKS FROM THE RED SCORPIONS. ][ RESULT: COMPLETE.
