Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty Seven:Found and lost forever
Adrian didn’t expect university to feel this new.The place was big, the buildings wide and full of people. Every hallway smelled like paper and strong coffee. He wore his regular jeans and sneakers, trying not to stand out too much. No one knew he was the son of a billionaire—and that was just how he liked it.He was studying Energy and Mineral Resources Management—a course that mixed science and business. They learned about oil, gold, and how to find valuable things deep under the earth. It was hard, but he liked it.He sat in front during classes, always taking notes. Some of his classmates already respected him, not because of who he was, but because he worked hard and asked smart questions.But even with all of that, he still thought about Susan sometimes.He hadn’t seen her since graduation. He didn’t know where she went, or if she still remembered him. Maybe she had moved on. He tried to stop thinking about her, but some people are just hard to forget.One afternoon, after clas
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty Six: Lost again
Rafiq, Jonathan, and Susan were standing in the middle of the hallway. Behind them, some students were holding a huge, fancy cake. It looked expensive, and it had bright colors with the words “Welcome Back, Champion!” written in shiny gold icing.Adrian stopped walking and stared. He was shocked—in a good way. Then his eyes landed on Susan. She was smiling a little, her hands behind her back. Something about seeing her there made his heart beat faster.“Thank you! Thank you, all of you!” Adrian said, smiling big.Then he looked right at Susan. Their eyes met, and he held her gaze. She looked down quickly, her cheeks turning pink.“Thank you,” he said again, this time just to her.Classes were put on hold. Music played from someone’s speaker. People laughed, danced, and passed slices of cake around. It felt like a dream.---Days went by, and exams were getting closer. Adrian had something on his mind—Susan.Lately, she had been acting cold. She didn’t wait for him after class. She sto
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty five: Ended not as expected
It was finally time. Adrian sat with his teammates, Luke and Richard, their eyes locked on the other team just a few feet away. The air was thick with tension. No one moved. No one blinked. Even the audience had gone quiet. The announcer stepped up to the mic. “For this final round,” he said, “each team will get their own questions. If you answer all your questions right, you’ll gain the lead. But if you miss any question, you lose points—and your question goes to the other team as a bonus. If both teams get all their questions right, there will be one final question for both of you. First team to answer it wins.” Everyone listened closely. “Right now, both teams are very close in points. So this could go either way. Pay attention and don’t panic.” Adrian nodded slowly, trying to calm the storm in his chest. Luke’s leg bounced nervously. Richard was stiff, focused like a hawk. “Team Solaris, come forward,” the announcer called. Adrian's stomach turned. They wanted the other team

The next question came up on the screen.Before anyone could even breathe, Adrian hit the answer button.“Option C,” he said quickly.The judges blinked, surprised. Nobody had answered that fast since the competition began.The whole room went silent for a moment.“Did he just—?” one of the judges whispered.Luke looked at Adrian with wide eyes. “Bro… are you secretly a robot?”Adrian grinned. “If I am, I need better batteries. These questions are getting harder.”And they were. Each round was tougher than the last. Everyone was thinking harder, breathing faster. Some students looked like they were ready to cry.One by one, teams were knocked out.After about one hour and forty-seven minutes, only four teams were left. Adrian’s team was still in—but just barely. They were now in fourth place. The rest—eleven full teams—were gone.The room felt hotter now. Some students were sweating like they had just run a marathon.Luke wiped his face with his sleeve. “This is crazy.”Richard leaned

As they walked up, Adrian whispered, “Guys… that’s a Fisher equation question. We got this.” The three took their seats. The screen lit up again with the same question. Adrian stared at it. “Alright,” he muttered, grabbing a pencil. “Inflation: 6.2%. Base rate: 4.5%. Real rate = nominal - inflation, right?” Luke nodded, already writing: “That gives us -1.7%. Negative real interest.” Richard added, “That discourages saving, encourages borrowing. Short-term boom, long-term… risky.” Adrian looked up at the clock. Still 18 seconds left. He turned to the judges. “We’re ready.” The room grew quiet. Adrian leaned forward and answered, breaking down the calculation clearly, then linking it to expected consumer trends. He sat back. There was a short pause… then a soft ding. The screen flashed green. Correct. A wave of applause followed. The judges gave approving nods. As the team walked off the stage, Adrian leaned toward Richard. “You still owe me lunch for the last one.” Richa
Rescuing the invulnerable Billionaire Chapter Twenty two: Easy to tough
The hall felt tense. Everyone sat quietly, eyes locked on the stage where three students faced a glowing screen. In front of them was a smaller monitor only they could see, and behind them, a huge screen showed the same thing for the crowd. Before the contest started, the rules had been explained. If a team can’t answer their question and another team gets it right, the team that answers will earn one extra chance if they run out of time later. It was a smart way to keep things fair—and exciting. Right now, it was the Japanese team’s turn. They sat stiffly, eyes focused, fingers tapping the table nervously. The question on the screen was tough. Adrian Scholl sat with his team, waiting. He should’ve been thinking about the competition. But instead, his mind wandered—to home. To San Francisco. To Susan. He didn’t even hear their names being called. “Adrian,” someone whispered urgently. Still nothing. “ADRIAN!” a voice said louder. A quick tap on his shoulder snapped him b
