The fork clattered back into the holder.
Without looking at the general, Adrian said, “That’s irrelevant. It's only logical that Seraphina and I part ways. Days. Mere days after we announced the engagement, she was targeted. She said he asked for the ring. She was almost strangled to de

His hand shook as he looked up.“Sir, I wouldn't dare, sir. I…”“Oh, you dare a lot. Or do you forget how you ended here?”Daniel looked shamefaced as he said, “That was an… an error in judgement, sir. The general has taught me well. I'll never try such again, young master.”Adrian did not believe him for a second.The idea had occurred to him before Daniel came back with the water.What if this new attack had to do with Daniel?His phone was currently confiscated, but what if he had set things in place before he was brought in?Adr

Adrian had barely dropped the call when his phone pinged.Another message.His suspicion was confirmed the moment he checked the screen.How was our meeting?Nerves ticking in his chin with fury, Adrian rapidly typed, We discussed your funeral.He sent it knowing fully well it wouldn't go through.Pon.Adrian’s eyes widened when it actually ticked twice.DeliveredAdrian immediately dialled the number, wondering if the bastard was finally ready to reveal himself.The number you dialled is not in existence.

“I swear on my honour. I won't lie to you, master. Not you.”Toga said passionately when Adrian asked if he was telling the truth.He immediately showed him the command.An untraceable phone number and a crypto account.Yet, Adrian knew nothing was truly untraceable.You only needed to find the right pattern. Whoever was behind this was clever.But clever people often had one problem.They become too cocky.This perpetrator had things planned in advance.A sure move to lead Adrian on a goose chase.Once again, Adrian doubted the lousy Juliet had enough spunk for such an elaborate plan.Still, he refused to strike anything out without proof.“I'll overlook your rudeness… this time,” he said to Toga.The gang leader gaped in shock and gratitude.“I… I can go? No punishment?” he asked to be sure.Toga knew a man capable of saving him from an elaborate snare could just as easily put him in an even bigger one. Adrian merely nodded. “This time. Take your men and leave.”“Boys, show gratit
Chapter 438
A man of his prowess Toga had never seen.At a time when none of his underworld connections could save him from the murder charges meant to put him away for years, a chance meeting with the young man had saved him.Many might see Adrian as an ordinary-looking young man who was barely a proper adult when they first met.Toga knew they would be sorely wrong.And that was even years ago.His men, most of whom had never been in the elite circle, might be foolish enough not to recognise Adrian.But when Toga had seen the billboards and news, he had recognised Adrian.His features had changed slightly, but Toga would never forget the young m

A boisterous voice rang through the building.“I gave the command. How dare you touch my men on my turf?!”The man on the ground jerked his gaze towards the door.His eyes widened with hope, and he immediately crawled towards the door.“Thank God you are here, boss. He’s a monster. You need to teach him a lesson.”“Get off the floor, you fool!”“Get off me!”Adrian slowly turned around at the familiar voice.The middle-aged man entering the restaurant wore a black leather jacket, the Crescent Fang tattoo vividly displayed in all its crimson glory.His fingers were adorned with big-rock rings, each bearing a frightening emblem.The head of his cane was carved into a hissing snake, its fang jutting out menacingly.Behind him were twenty men, all bearing the Crescent Fang tattoo.They looked more volatile than the men already inside, armed with baseball bats, iron rods and various weapons.They immediately grabbed Adrian’s men.Their leader approached Adrian. “I want to see the fool who

Adrian knew why.Not only did the gang members look like they could eat the guards for breakfast, but they also outnumbered them.Twelve to ten.“Yeah? Who will stop us?”One of the gang members sneered as he approached the lead guard.“You?”He swung his beefy fist at the guard.Adrian moved so fast he was a blur.Tonk!The fist smashed uselessly into his palm.The gang members gaped, even as Adrian’s men surged behind him."Sir".“Step back!” Adrian ordered.The guards exchanged worried glances, but they knew better than to flout their master’s command.The man whose hand was still trapped in Adrian’s tried to jerk it back. No such luck.His eyes widened. How could such a lanky man possess such strength?His comrade snorted.“What? You will take us on? By yourself.”“You obviously need some lessons. Who better to teach you than me?” Adrian responded calmly.The men erupted into laughter once again.The one who had been writhing from hot water snarled, “Leave him to me! By the time
