Boom, boom, boom!Raiden rushed a few steps forward. With every step he took, the ground underneath him cracked. A powerful gush of overbearing presence filled the air and it made Mya feel terrified.Raiden made his way to Adrian step by step. Meanwhile, Adrian had already gotten back on his feet.Mya was lying flat on the ground and anxiously watching the scene before her. “He’s too powerful, sir,” she said shakily.She was scared out of her wits the moment Raiden kicked her.Upon hearing this, Raiden could not help smiling. “I forgot to mention to you guys that the radiation here has strengthened my body. I’m so powerful that I shock myself!”Boom!Raiden swung another punch at Adrian’s chest when his voice faded away. Then, a series of punching noises were heard. He delivered a total of fifty-eight punches within ten short seconds.Adrian was sent shuffling backward from being punched heavily in the chest. ‘Raiden’s too fast…’And he did not stop as he continued to punch at
“What are you doing?! Have you lost your mind?! Fight back!” Mya stayed on the ground, shouting and crying as she witnessed the scene before her eyes.Adrian did not respond to her.“You b*stard! I’ll fight you till my last breath!” Mya screamed and went to grab the blade that she had dropped on the ground in preparation to run toward Raiden.Suddenly, a slender hand picked up the blade before Mya could reach it. Mya was stunned ever so slightly. Then, she raised her head to look up.She was shocked when she saw the scene before her eyes.Thud, thud, thud!Raiden was still attacking Adrian ferociously. He roared, “Are you having a good time, boy?! Do you still have the courage to behave atrociously at this point? No one walks away from my fists alive!”Adrian smiled, his curled lips infuriating Raiden even more.“What are you smiling about?” roared Raiden.“Stand there and don’t move…”Just as Adrian’s voice faded, an icy cold, sharp blade was pressed against Raiden’s neck.
“What did you say?”Raiden was caught by surprise. His eyes filled with murderous intent as he glared at Adrian standing before him ferociously.Raiden had surmised that Draco, who took his place as Wyvern Peak’s leader, was just enjoying undeserved fame after fighting him earlier. He sneered and said, “Since you’re determined to die, I shall fulfill your wish!”Upon saying that, he suddenly and swiftly shoved his knee at Adrian’s abdomen.In Raiden’s perception, his action would most certainly cause severe injuries to Adrian and make him drop to his knees. He never expected to feel an intense pain in his abdomen that brought his actions to a stop. His knee, which was making its way toward Adrian, could reach its target.Adrian’s knee had already slammed into Raiden’s abdomen, one step quicker than Raiden’s.“Gah!!! Agh!” Raiden screamed out in pain, his mouth agape as he held on to his stomach.Adrian’s strike had temporarily rendered Raiden incapable of fighting. Beyond his co
“What?” Raiden’s face instantly drained of color.Adrian said, “Any last words? Though I’m afraid I won’t pass down your last words even if you have any.”“This is impossible! This can’t be!” Raiden roared.At this moment, Raiden entered a berserk state. He frantically attacked Adrian by swinging his fists in every way he could think of, but in the end, Adrian successfully dodged all his attacks.Raiden panted heavily after performing this series of actions. He appeared to be having trouble accepting the reality taking place before his eyes and spared no effort in charging toward Adrian once again.In his perception, he could only enjoy everything that was about to come by eliminating Adrian.As Raiden’s final punch flew toward Adrian, Adrian stretched out his hand to catch Raiden’s fist.Crack!The sound of bones breaking was heard. Raiden let out an agonizing scream as Adrian instantly crushed his fist.“Gah!” Raiden threw his head back and screamed out in pain. He was in a
The air was silent, with only Adrian’s footsteps to be heard.Gloria continued to kneel on the ground, her head lowered and her eyes filled with emotions. Her long hair covered her face, so her expression could not be seen clearly.Mya stood in the distance watching the scene in silence.Soon, Adrian reached Gloria and got down on his knees. He stretched out his shaky right hand to push away the hair on her face, revealing that familiar face of hers that was beautiful yet mature.Gloria raised her head in a daze and looked at Adrian before her.Their eyes met, and countless thoughts filled their minds.Scenes were appearing in Gloria’s mind at this very moment, bits and pieces of her past. Those were the scenes from her past. It felt like memories were rewinding in the depths of her mind.It was the scene of her meeting Adrian for the first time on the training ground. “Hey, are you even a man? How could you be exhausted from this measly training? You should just turn yourself i
She remembered.She would never forget this man.Adrian shut his eyes and pulled Gloria into his arms for a tight hug. “I’m sorry that I’m late. I’m sorry for leaving you here for five years.”Gloria did not speak but her eyes were similarly shut. She could feel Adrian’s warmth, his heartbeat.After a long time, she said, “My head feels kind of messed up right now. I feel like I’ve been asleep for a long, long time. I dreamt that I was trapped in an enclosed space, and I just couldn’t wake up. I heard your voice, but I couldn’t wake up. But in the end, I escaped the enclosed space.”Adrian inhaled a deep breath and said, “The rock made your body undergo mutation. Your bodily functions were reduced to their lowest points over the years. That’s why you’re having trouble adapting after waking up.”He had no idea what sort of mutation Gloria’s body had undergone. However, this proved that she was in a dormant state for the past few years, just like a hibernating animal. The sound of
Upon saying that, Adrian carried Gloria on his back and walked toward the rainforest. Mya briefly packed up. She then picked up a rock that she placed in the backpack and hurried after Adrian. Adrian wanted to leave the rainforest as soon as possible because he had no idea what else would happen in the rainforest. Thus, he quickened his pace. Gloria laid on Adrian’s back and rested. Her body was having trouble adapting after remaining immobile for such a long time.When they passed by the huge tree, Mya glanced at the corpses strewn across the ground and asked Adrian, “Sir, I think these people are dead. Are we taking their corpses with us today?”“We’ll head back first and send a few troops here. We have to lock down the island and solve its secrets.”Adrian temporarily gave up on the idea of taking the corpses back. His top priority now was Gloria.A few hours later, they walked out of the rainforest at last. Gloria expressed her astonishment after seeing the helicopters, s
On NS Trinaga, Gloria lay on the bed quietly as Adrian wheeled the bed outside.Meanwhile, Mya headed to the sick bay of the boat. The place was equipped with medical equipment for precise measurements in case of a rainy day.Adrian wanted to perform a full physical examination on Gloria, just in case.Gloria did not have the slightest idea of her physical condition but she felt confused and lost about everything. She watched as Adrian escorted her to the sick bay and felt touched.“The MRI machine is ready. Put her on the motorized bed.”“Check the blood pressure.”“Check the liver function.”“Check kidney functions.”“Run a dialysis.”“Run a full body scan.”“Run a colored ultrasound.”The equipment in the sick bay hummed and vibrated as they were put to work.Adrian and Mya were so busy that they were soon drenched in sweat. After some time, Gloria had undergone a complete physical examination. Adrian did not have the courage to move her too much so he placed her on a be
