Time was irreversible.Adrian shut his eyes and took a deep breath, while Samantha stayed by his side, silently accompanying him.However, right at that moment, a few dozen cars arrived outside the nursing home. The revving of their engines attracted everyone’s attention.The workers from Gamma Construction became excited when they saw the cars.“It’s Mr. Loid.”“He’s finally here.”“Looks like he brought a lot of people with him.”Everyone was pumped, while Danton and the others felt a sense of foreboding.When Samantha saw the cars, she hurriedly said, “Loid Elrod’s here, dear. Find a place to hide while I go take a look.”Samantha ran off after saying that.At that moment, Loid commanded more than fifty people as he furiously stormed into the nursing home.Loid was a rather important man in Southrive, while Gamma Construction was the third largest business under the Southrive Group.He was famous—for his bad temper.“It was them, Mr. Loid. They asked us to stop working
Samantha, Danton, and all of the onlookers were stunned when they saw Loid bowing down.The president of Trifecta, an important man of the Southrive Group and the very same man who was furious a moment ago, was bowing to another man???‘Unbelievable!’Everyone was wide-eyed with shock, absolutely confused why Loid would do such a thing right after Adrian presented a medallion.‘What kind of medallion is that?’Loid was the only one who saw what was inscribed on the medallion, while the others could not due to the angle they were looking at it.Meanwhile, Adrian put away the medallion before anyone else could see what it was.Loid was bent over at a ninety degrees angle, trembling so vigorously that he could not even utter a single word.“Adrian…” Samantha called out, her heart thumping like mad.‘Something must be up with that medallion of his.’Ignoring her, Adrian kicked Loid in the shin, causing the latter to fall flat on his face.And thus, Loid was now at the mercy of A
“It’s obvious that the medallion Adrian produced had scared Loid.“What was it? Could you see the words inscribed on it?” Samantha asked.Danton shook his head. “I couldn’t. I was at a bad angle.”Samantha heaved out a long sigh and chose not to think about it for the time being.“Let’s head back to my office.”“Okay.”Everyone headed back to New Paraiso.***While Samantha headed back to New Paraiso with the others to open up the safe and reveal its contents, Adrian headed to the cemetery instead of going home.Many had said that Henry was a genius businessman who only came about once every hundred years.However, it was because of him that a star had fallen.In the past, Adrian never once thought that Henry would leave behind a treasure. All of the things he had done were extremely glorious, yet went by unnoticed.Henry had left behind a lot of regrets, and his biggest regret was not being able to realize the miracles of medical technology despite spending almost twenty y
Rue seemed rather concerned.Samantha put down her bag and leaned against the sofa. “We went to the nursing home today and found a safe that Father-in-law left behind in the basement. Inside, we found some documents he had written.“The documents are intact, and we’ve even made a copy of it. I’m going to take over his previous research and realize the dream he couldn’t finish,” Samantha replied.Rue was touched by Samantha’s words, wiping off her tears as she sat down. She had no idea what to say at that moment.At the time, Henry’s greatest wish was to complete his research and find a cure for cancer, but that wish was ultimately dashed.Now, her daughter-in-law was going to continue her husband’s wish by forming a research team.Rue was so touched. She was certain that Samantha was the best daughter-in-law in the world.“Don’t cry, Mother.” Samantha helped Rue wipe her tears when she saw Rue’s tearful face.Rue nodded and spoke with a hoarse voice, “Let’s eat.”Samantha agre
Samantha overheard Daniel’s message and asked, “Was that General Daniel’s voice?”Adrian nodded. “I asked him to help me find out where Richie is and he agreed. I suppose you could say we’re well acquainted with each other after I helped him out at the opening of Swallow Central.”“Really?” Samantha asked, feeling a little skeptical.She may not have been able to see through Adrian’s lies the first few times, but it had gotten much easier for her recently.Samantha had no idea what was going on with Adrian, but she could tell that her husband was hiding something from her.***After half an hour, Samantha arrived at Dream City which Daniel had mentioned.Lights of every color shined in this part of Swallowston, signaling the start of the residents’ nightlife.This place was known to be the headquarters of Swallowston’s underworld.The nightclub was built beneath the ground, and it was a huge place where both men and women would spend their time.Many women had gained a life o
‘An invitation?’Adrian was confused, while Samantha whispered, “I heard that you need an invite to get inside. It’s to show that you’ve been invited by a friend, and that friend will receive a reward from Dream City.“This place is rather well hidden, so the way they keep up the hype is by having their regulars invite their friends.”Adrian finally understood what was happening. He ransacked his pockets before smiling as he said, “What do I do if I haven’t got one?”The two bouncers at the door exchanged looks and angrily said, “Are you here to waste our time, you little sh*t? Fine, we can let you in, but you’ll have to let us take a peek at your pretty lady here.“Otherwise, get lost.”Before they even barely finished speaking, Adrian had already grabbed them by their necks. He pinned each of them down with one hand.Adrian had sprung into action so quickly that Samantha was taken aback, not expecting him to try and get in through brute force.“Are you crazy?!” Samantha cried
In a luxurious room inside Dream City, a man in his fifties was playing Russian Roulette with more than a dozen others.This man was none other than Richie Kent, who had changed his name to Richard Lane.Richie was having fun when his walkie-talkie suddenly beeped.“Mr. Richard, a couple has barged into our premises!”Richie picked up his walkie-talkie and asked, “They barged in here? Why are you coming to me with something so trivial? Just kill them.”“Yes, sir!”Richie laughed and said to his friends, “Come, let’s continue our game!”Meanwhile, Adrian and Samantha had entered the nightclub, where the music was deafening and countless men and women having fun. There were many people playing games, having drinks at the bar, and raving on the dance floor.No doubt, the majority of people there were young women accompanying young, wealthy men as they gambled the night away.Samantha felt as though her eyes were being burned with all kinds of images she should not be looking at.
Dream City’s main lobby was in chaos, with everyone running for their lives.As each bouncer screamed and fell over, Adrian was further drenched in bright red blood.Samantha’s mind had gone completely blank. She covered her mouth as she watched Adrian relentlessly kill his enemies like a ferocious beast.Within mere minutes, more than thirty bouncers were laying in a pool of blood. The other bouncers were stunned when they saw this and did not dare to step forward.In fact, they were taking very careful steps backward.“H-He’s mad.”“Quick! Go inform the boss!” someone shouted.Drenched in blood, Adrian released his clenched fists and took a step forward. All of the bouncers around him hastily retreated, none of them daring to make any moves that might cost them their lives.The partygoers were now hiding behind sofas, tables, and chairs, while Adrian continued to walk forward.With every step he made, the bouncers trembled even more.***Richie was playing chess in the Sta
