Another Older Lena
Chapter 124 Adrian walked up the steps, his boots making no sound."Lena," Adrian said gently. "Are you hurt? Did the Iron Guard touch you?""Touch me?" Lena sniffled, wiping her nose with a lace handkerchief. "Oh, Mr. Adrian, they did much worse. They wore muddy boots on the Persian rug in the foyer. And the Ming dynasty vase in the hallway, it’s shattered. Completely shattered into a thousand pieces."She looked up at him, her chin quivering, looking so utterly weak and vulnerable that Adrian felt a sudden, fierce wave of protective rage."I spent three hours polishing that vase yesterday," Lena whispered tragically. "And the hydrangeas, they shot the hydrangeas with plasma rifles.""I will buy you a new vase, Lena," Adrian promised, placing a comforting hand on her frail shoulder. "I'll buy you a dozen Ming vases. I'll buy you the entire country of China if you want it. The men who did this are in jail, and their boss is currently being used as a high-tech paperweight.""You promi
Hire A Cleaning Service
Chapter 124"What are you doing?!" Julian shrieked as the suit's servos engaged without his command."I'm the Administrator now, Julian," Adrian said, his golden eyes piercing through the screen. "I control the grid. I control the Foundation Nodes. I even control the Lazarus code running your fancy white suit."Julian tried to move his arms, but the suit refused to obey him. It was locked in a rigid, standing position."The game is over, brother," Adrian said, leaning into the camera. "I am revoking your mayoral privileges. The Spire is on lockdown. Every door is sealed. Every elevator is disabled. You are going to sit in that room, in that suit, until I decide what to do with you.""You can't do this!" Julian roared, thrashing uselessly inside his metal prison. "I am the Overseer! I am the future!""You're obsolete," Adrian corrected. "Goodbye, Julian."The screen went black.Adrian dropped the Captain's phone into the mud. He looked around the desolate, toxic wasteland, and then tow
Haunting Decisions
Chapter 122With a final, agonizing push, Adrian crushed the marble of compressed explosive energy out of existence. It vanished with a soft, anti-climactic pop, leaving nothing but a wisp of ozone and falling flakes of steel casing.Adrian dropped to the floor of the reactor cavern, gasping for air. His muscles trembled. His shirt was soaked in sweat.But the pain was gone. The red glow was gone.He looked at his hands. They were steady. The golden light of the System pulsed warmly, purely, beneath his skin.He had done it. He had burned the corruption to contain the bomb.Suddenly, the massive blue reactor of Node Gamma hummed. The terminal lights flashed.[ SYSTEM STATUS: PURGED AND PURIFIED. ][ UNEXPECTED FEEDBACK LOOP DETECTED. ][ HOST HAS SUCCESSFULLY INTERFACED WITH ALL THREE FOUNDATION NODES VIA KINETIC RESONANCE. ][ LAZARUS CODE ASSIMILATED. ]Adrian slowly stood up, frowning at the blue text floating in his vision. "Assimilated? What does that mean?"[ THE ARCHITECT'S MAS
Ultimate Drain
Chapter 122 The bullets didn't just stop. The red Lazarus energy bleeding from Adrian's pores infected the kinetic shield. When the projectiles hit the invisible barrier, they were instantly superheated and violently repelled. The bullets ricocheted back at ten times their original velocity, melting through the Iron Guard's heavy blast-armor like it was made of wet paper.Soldiers screamed, dropping their weapons as their own crossfire tore their formation apart."I don't have time for this," Adrian sighed.He raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.[ GRAVITY WELL: OMNIDIRECTIONAL CRUSH. ]The gravity in a hundred-yard radius instantly multiplied by a factor of forty.Every single Iron Guard soldier was slammed face-first into the irradiated mud. Their weapons were crushed flat. The tires on the massive transport trucks blew out simultaneously with deafening pops, the heavy chassis grinding into the dirt.Only the crane holding the Goliath bomb remained upright, specifically s
The Meteor and the Marble
Chapter 121The sky above Aethelgard shattered.When Adrian Black disabled the safety limiters on his System’s flight modules, he didn’t just break the sound barrier. He obliterated it. He was a streak of blinding gold and violent red light tearing through the rain-choked clouds at Mach 5.The G-force was a physical titan sitting on his chest, trying to crush his ribs into powder. The friction of the atmosphere was so intense that the outer edges of his kinetic shield were superheating, turning the air around him into a cone of glowing plasma."Adrian! Your core temperature is at four hundred degrees!" Cora’s voice shrieked in his earpiece, barely audible over the deafening roar of his own velocity. "Your jacket is literally on fire!""I never liked this jacket anyway," Adrian shouted back, his teeth gritted in a feral, agonizing smile. "Distance to target?""You're crossing the city perimeter now! Entering the Dead Wastes. But Adrian... the Iron Guard is already there. They’ve depl
Sleeping Dogs Don't Lie
Chapter 120The laughter from Adrian was a cold, genuinely amused sound."Is this it?" Adrian asked aloud, his voice dripping with utter disdain. "Silas built a multi-billion-credit neural-dampening matrix, and the best it can do is a cheap guilt trip?"Adrian stepped toward the illusion of his father."My father was a coward who ran away," Adrian stated. "Joe is currently eating pizza in a subway tunnel. And Selene granted me a divorce because she realized I was too good for her."Adrian raised his glowing red hands."My worst fear isn't failure," Adrian said arrogantly. "My worst fear is dying in a badly tailored suit. And my suit is bespoke."[ SYSTEM SKILL: KINETIC SHOCKWAVE - OMNIDIRECTIONAL. ]Adrian unleashed a blast of pure force. The shockwave ripped through the hallway. The hidden holographic projectors and neural-emitters embedded in the walls exploded in a shower of sparks and shattered glass.The illusions violently collapsed like a dying television screen. The pristine
