From the look of things, Nola felt the reason Adrian was running his mouth now was just because he was under the backing of Steve.

After Lyra had told her that she actually saw Steve greet him respectfully before he entered his car, Nola could only think that Adrian and Steve must somehow be friends—or something else.

But that didn’t matter now, because she wasn’t even sure Steve could save him from this trouble. And again, she thought Steve would be stupid if he tried to. Saving Adrian would mean sacrificing too much—it’d be like fighting a case where you’d have to prove yourself stronger by showing all your cards. In this game of power, the strongest wins. And Nola wasn’t sure Steve was strong enough to compete with them anyway.

“Benedict was right,” she muttered with an awkward laugh. She felt satisfied that Adrian’s pride would be his downfall.

She even thought Benedict was right about Adrian not being able to afford the huge amount

    The guard, hearing Gabriel’s words, knew it was a command he couldn’t dodge.“Oh, I know that strange man! His name is Dr. Foster from Vereluxe city—he plays the streetsigil and broke the entire system with one move. I was there!” Suddenly, someone who had been watching from the crowd finally connected Adrian’s image in his head.“The mysterious man would definitely win,” his friend next to him added. They seemed to enjoy the show already and were more interested in seeing Adrian fight.They believed, for some reason, Adrian had an unnatural power. And it was clear to them that this guard was only a well-trained fighter—nothing compared to the way they had seen Adrian fight on stage. To them, the man had no chance.They were just people who loved the hallucination of the supernatural, so they didn’t care if others called it cheating. They just seemed to be having fun.But this remark only tightened Gabriel’s face even more. Thes

    What annoyed Adrian the most was the way Gabriel assumed him to be a fool. He had seen right through their scheme, yet Gabriel still dared to pull such a stupid stunt to humiliate him.His face tightened as he ignored the guards standing just behind him.“I could’ve ignored the fact that y’all wanted to use me as an advantage to cover up for your sinking empire and still saved you from crumbling to the ground. But still—especially you.” Adrian pointed directly in Gabriel’s direction.“Thinking of me as a nobody just because you no longer find anything attractive in me… you decided to play a humiliating game, to see a loser walk out in shame. But I tell you this—you’re the losers. And you don’t deserve my help.” His tone was firm.Right then, the four of them at the table realized they had made a mistake. Adrian was clearly not the kind of person they should have tried to mess with.“How about we kick your ass?” another guard—one

    “Yes, I do have something to say,” Adrian said.Eric couldn’t think of a better way to handle the situation. Unsure how else to resolve it, he asked Adrian the question directly into the mic.At Adrian’s tone, everyone paid close attention, waiting eagerly for what he would say.From the table, it was difficult to clearly hear their discussion without the mic on, but from the audience, a person only needed to raise their voice slightly and it would echo through the hall, amplifying the tension. The whispers grew more intense, filling the room because the room has its was of making the intended whispers to sound more.People seemed to enjoy moments like this—when the aura of a sudden strange billionaire like Adrian shifted the entire atmosphere.“I don’t think I’m interested in joining your joke club anymore.” His tone was sharp, sending a wave of new tension through the air.“He literally called the four owners of EpicT

    Adrian’s expression became extremely dark, and only then did Gabriel notice something in his eyes from where he was standing. He couldn’t believe the strength in Adrian’s gaze—it sent a cold shiver down his spine, making his hands move involuntarily as if his own body had betrayed him. “Umm… do you think it’s a good idea that we’re asking for payment right in front of everyone like this? Doesn’t it seem a bit suspicious—like he might feel we want to use him?” John whispered, his voice low so that only those at the table could hear. Now he felt certain that Adrian was angry at the way things were going. The tension was obvious, and Gabriel’s plan suddenly didn’t seem like the best. “Please,” John quickly spoke into his microphone as the others sat in silence, unsure what to do next. The whispers in the crowd were already growing louder and louder. From their seats, Nola and Lyra could only watc

    Nola’s heart was already far gone from her chest as her breathing became uncontrollable. She couldn’t sit still on her chair anymore and involuntarily stood up, as if trying to take a clearer look at Adrian’s eyes from where she was seated. She couldn’t imagine that Adrian was being considered an esteemed man at this moment. It seemed the whole room now adored him, excitement spreading as people were already thinking of ways to connect with him. Surely, the EpicTech leaders wouldn’t be so foolish as to announce him publicly without being certain. If they hadn’t confirmed something about him, they wouldn’t make a joke of this magnitude. They must be sure he had the money before presenting him this way. Her mind remained unsettled, and Lyra too was sweating profusely. Whenever tension arose, it made her feel like she would mess herself right there. This was too much for her. She felt her body betraying her, he
