Adrian beckoned menacingly toward the surrounding bouncers and they quickly backed down.Richie got to his feet to face Adrian.Adrian smiled and asked, “Richie Kent?”“Wh-what?” Richie took two steps back and his face turned ghastly pale with fear.He had already changed his name for more than seven years and no one since then had come to know his real name.Richie felt an ineffable sense of fear at Adrian’s question. He felt as if he was completely defenseless at this very moment.He backed away continuously as cold sweat drenched his body. He looked at Adrian and said, “What… What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying. If you’re looking for someone named Richie Kent, well, you’re in the wrong place.”“Wrong place huh?” Adrian said, feeling amused.“Yes, you’re in the wrong place,” Richie said as he nodded.Richie was frantically trying to figure out who this person was. He felt that Adrian looked familiar yet he could not remember where he had seen Ad
The sound of footsteps was heard coming from the outside.To everyone’s astoundment, the Battle Warrior Department charged into Dream City with their guns up. There were more than one hundred people led by Daniel.Following the arrival of the department’s personnel, Richie’s bouncers put down the weapons in their hands and quickly backed away one by one.Some had even put their hands behind their heads and got on their knees.“Take control of the scene!”“Everyone, get on your knees with your hands behind your heads!” roared Daniel.“Everyone! Men and women! On your knees!”All the bouncers, the moguls spending time in Dream City, and the beautiful women there got on their knees with their hands behind their heads followed by a series of chaotic noises.Adrian quietly sat on the sofa sipping his wine.Daniel walked over and waved as he shouted, “Get rid of the bodies!”About a dozen people began cleaning the scene that was in a mess from Adrian’s fight.Daniel made his way t
“I didn’t do it! It wasn’t me!”Richie broke down and screamed frantically upon hearing Adrian’s ultimatum, “I have nothing to do with Henry’s death. I didn’t cause it. It wasn’t me. Give me the evidence if you can!”Rue stared at the man who killed her husband. She roared at Richie with tears streaming down her face, “My husband told me in person that you were bribed! You murdered him so that you could steal the data and information!“You killed a man and got away with it for seven years, yet you still won’t admit it!”“It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me!” Richie continued to scream.“It was you!”Rue was frantic. She turned around and looked at Adrian as she shrieked almost hysterically, “Adrian, he was the one who killed your father! Kill him! Kill him to avenge your father!“Give me back my husband, you b*stard!“Henry treated you well, Richie. He helped you in your lawsuit when your wife cheated on you. Your father was hospitalized and Henry paid for it while commissioning special
“I don’t want to die!”“You don’t want to die?” Adrian asked.“Yes! I don’t want to die!”Adrian flew into a rage upon hearing this. He stood up and roared, “You don’t want to f*cking die, but did you think my father wanted to?!“Amputate his other arm!”“Aaaargh!”As Adrian’s voice died away, Richie’s right arm was separated from his shoulder. He broke down and let out an agonizing scream like a dying animal.Richie had a complete breakdown.Adrian calmed down and sat back down as he said, “It’s fine. We have doctors here. You won’t die or lose consciousness. You’ve spoken once. You have two more chances.“How about I take one limb every time you speak?”One limb for every time he spoke?Richie’s mouth hung open in astonishment as he looked at Adrian in a daze. “You… You’re a monster! Aargh!”As soon as Richie’s voice died away, he screamed out in agony once again. He felt the full force of Adrian’s monster-like terror at this very moment.Everyone was shocked. The dignif
After giving his orders, Adrian clasped Samantha’s hand, and together with Rue, they left Dream City.Behind him, Richie’s howls rang out but Adrian ignored him.Daniel executed Richie as the Battle Warrior Department dismissed the crowd after cleaning up the scene.The trio quickly drove back to the house. Adrian drove as Samantha and Rue sat quietly in the car.Rue was fine, but Samantha was feeling a rollercoaster of emotions. She felt haunted by the event that she had witnessed that night.She never imagined that her husband would possess such shocking abilities.“Adrian, tell me the truth about yourself. I saw how obedient Daniel was to you earlier. Who are you that you can order him around?” Samantha asked.She could not hold back her curiosity anymore.Rue looked toward her son as well. She was under the assumption that Adrian was just an ordinary person. He had not expected him capable of giving orders to the Battle Warrior Department.“Are you going to continue lying
Samantha felt rather vexed that she just realized this now.“Adrian, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?” asked Samantha as she looked at Adrian in a daze.“I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to accept it.”“You silly boy. Why wouldn’t I?”Samantha took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, “I’m sorry that I haven’t been treating you well during this period. You did so many things for me, yet I didn’t notice anything.”Adrian smiled and said, “You’re my wife. Do I need to be appreciated for doing something for my wife?”“If that’s the case, I have something else I’d like to ask,” said Samantha when she recalled something.“Go ahead.”“What’s with the medallion you showed Loid yesterday?” asked Samantha.Adrian was silent for some time upon hearing this question.Then, he turned his head and said to her with a smile, “It’s a Battle Warrior Medallion that Lucas gifted to me. The sight of this medallion is equal to meeting Lucas in person.“No one in Swallowston, or
Adrian smiled and wrapped his arm around Samantha upon seeing her actions.Suddenly, Samantha pulled off Adrian’s top and planted a soft kiss on his scar-covered chest.***The incident at Dream City spread throughout Swallowston overnight.Many people learned that the nightclub’s owner was killed in his own establishment and the underground world that had been active in Swallowston for many years was eliminated by the Battle Warrior Department at last.The Xanders were having dinner at home when they learned about the news.“Have you heard about the Battle Warrior Department eliminating Dream City about an hour ago? Even the owner was killed on the scene,” Wilfred said to the other Xanders as they ate.“Yes, the club has been shut down by the department for real. The whole city is shocked by the news of this incident.”“Do you know why the department would take action on the club out of nowhere?”“I have no clue.”The Xanders began discussing in succession.Meanwhile, Leona
“What?!”The Xanders were shocked and their eyes widened in surprise.‘Adrian single-handedly killed his way into Dream City?!’Cecilia asked anxiously, “What happened next?”Leonard inhaled a deep breath and said, “Afterward, Daniel arrived with a troop of Battle Warrior Department personnel. Richie then admitted to causing Henry’s death and was hence executed on the spot.“His head has been placed on Henry’s headstone as an offering.”Harold grew restless from the shock and his body shook. He had always assumed that his youngest son died from contracting an illness. He had not expected there to be a scheme behind Henry’s death.“Richie caused the death of my son and he deserves to die!” Harold slammed the table with a loud bang and was extremely furious.“Leonard, so it was Adrian who caused the incident in Dream City today huh?” Wilfred mused.“That’s right. Adrian got Richie killed to avenge Henry. Quite a number of people died today and they were all Richie’s subordinates
