Silly Villainy
Chapter 141Adrian expanded his awareness all around. As he keyed into his power, he didn't need to look for any code, he simply felt the earth. He felt the rumble of the subway trains, the hum of the power plants, and then... a steady, rhythmic thump-thump, thump-thump echoing through the subterranean crust of Sector 2. It perfectly matched the beating of Lena's heart."Gotcha," Adrian whispered.He opened his eyes and right then, they were blazing like miniature suns."System," Adrian commanded out loud, ensuring Lena heard every word. "Target the subterranean vault at Sector 2, Grid 44-Alpha. Reroute the city's high-pressure water mains directly beneath the vault."Lena jumped to her feet. "What are you doing?!""I'm washing the dishes," Adrian sneered.[ INITIATING MUNICIPAL OVERRIDE... ][ WATER MAINS REROUTED. PRESSURE BUILDING. ]*LMiles away, beneath Sector 2, the massive steel pipes of the city's water filtration system groaned. Millions of gallons of highly pressurized, p
Employees Fight Sometime
Chapter 140 The flight back to the Black Estate wasn’t really much of a sprint. What was the point of running blindly anyways? Adrian Black had realized his mistake. He had let his emotions blind him, treating the elderly housekeeper like a fragile porcelain doll while she quietly laid landmines in his boots. But the panic was gone now. The lord of the City didn’t panic when he found a rat in his house; he simply called the exterminator. And tonight, he was the exterminator.He touched down on the ruined front porch of the estate, stepping over the shattered oak doors he had destroyed earlier.The house was completely silent. The red emergency lights bathed the foyer in a bloody hue.Adrian didn't rush up the stairs. He walked slowly, his boots makinh loud wet sounds against the frictionless hardwood floor he was now effortlessly countering with microscopic gravity grips on his soles.So, Lena had tried the grease again. He reached the second floor and walked down the East Wing co
Thrice A Fool
Chapter 139 The heavy caliber bullet left the barrel, traveling at supersonic speed.It hit the invisible kinetic shield two inches from Adrian’s heart, flattened into a coin of hot lead, and dropped to the floor with a pathetic tink. Cornelius stared at the flattened bullet in awe. He dropped the gun, backing away until his spine hit the steel wall of the panic room. His knees gave out, and he slid to the floor, weeping."What do you want from me?" Cornelius sobbed, holding his hands up in surrender. "You took my son's company! You ruined my daughter's marriage! You took my fleet! I have nothing left! What more can you possibly want?!"Adrian closed the distance in a heartbeat. He reached down, grabbed Cornelius by the lapels of his silk jacket, and hoisted the old man effortlessly into the air.Adrian slammed him against the steel wall."Don't play the victim with me, you pathetic old coward," Adrian snarled, his face inches from Cornelius's terrified eyes. "I know about the Aeg
Life Wire
Chapter 138 Sector 1 - The Cross EstateCornelius Cross did not live in a house. Oh, the structure didn't qualify for a house. It was much more than that. He lived in a fortress of white marble and reinforced glass overlooking the ocean. It was a monument to old money and generational power.Tonight, that monument was about to be renovated.Adrian Black didn't bother with the front gate and he didn't even bother with the intercom.He landed directly in the center of the grand courtyard, the impact of his boots cracking the imported Italian cobblestones.The security response was instantaneous.Klaxons wailed and the floodlights snapped on, pinning Adrian in a blinding crossfire of illumination. Dozens of heavily armed private security contractors poured out of the mansion with their assault rifles raised. These weren't street thugs. These were the remnants of the Cross Vanguard who had stayed loyal to the patriarch after Victoria's exile."Hands in the air!" the captain of the gua
Never Been Lied To?
Chapter 137 “Of course,” Adrian thought, his arrogance blinding him to the flawless theatrical performance happening right in front of him. “Who else has the money to hire elite untraceable mercenaries? Who else has the motive to build a thirty-year-long grudge? Cornelius Cross didn't just want me dead. He wanted to strip me of everything I loved first, just like I did to him.” "They aren't going to kill him, Lena," Adrian said, standing up. "Because Cornelius Cross isn't going to live long enough to give the order."Adrian looked down at the old woman and felt a profound, sickening guilt for ever suspecting her. She had tried to fight off armored mercenaries with a vase. She was the bravest person in the house."System," Adrian commanded.[ STANDING BY. ]"Engage an absolute defensive perimeter around this room. A localized gravity ward. Nothing comes in. Nothing goes out. If a fly hits the window, crush it to atoms."[ WARD ESTABLISHED. DURATION: UNTIL CANCELED BY HOST. ]At once
Do The False Maths
Chapter 136Adrian’s breath hitched.The elderly housekeeper looked terrible. Her pristine black-and-white uniform was torn at the shoulder. A nasty, purple bruise was swelling on her cheekbone, and a trickle of blood ran from the corner of her mouth. She looked frail, terrified, and utterly broken.All of Adrian’s cold deductions, all the logic that had pointed to her being "The Caretaker" just ten minutes ago at the Water Treatment Plant, instantly evaporated. Let's be honest. One doesn't look at an eighty-year-old woman bleeding on the floor and see a mastermind. One sees a victim.His intrinsic, blinding bias kicked in with the force of a freight train."Lena!" Adrian rushed across the room, dropping to his knees beside her. He gently hovered his hands over her, terrified of crushing her fragile bones with his ambient gravity. "Lena, what happened? Who did this to you?"Lena looked up at him, her eyes wide and swimming with tears. She flinched, pressing herself deeper into the c
