Adrian inhaled a deep breath upon hearing Rue’s story.Samantha shut her eyes as well. It was said that Henry had passed away from an illness but she had not expected that this was how he had gotten sick.Then, Rue said, “Henry hid some data and information before his passing. Afterward, the lab was dissolved and the nursing home was deserted. Je told me not to tell you about this incident.”“What else did he say?” asked Adrian.“Your father said that Mr. V is a very powerful man and that we’re no match for him. Hence, I did not tell you about this so you won’t try to seek revenge.”“Where’s Richie then? Where did Richie go afterward?” asked Samantha. Rue shook her head. “Richie went missing after his deal with Mr. V. I don’t know why Mr. V didn’t utilize the recipe when he acquired it. It’s possible that the recipe contained some sort of error but there’s been no news about it until today.”Rue wondered, “It’s possible that Mr. V didn’t use the medicine because he discovered t

Danton was extremely astonished upon receiving Samantha’s call.He suggested Samantha call the Battle Warrior Department immediately to open up an investigation. Other than that, he expressed his willingness to help her in investigating this matter.However, Samantha did not call up the department for fear that it would affect Adrian’s mood.***Samantha barely slept that night.Early morning the next day, Adrian was already gone by the time she woke up.Samantha washed up quickly and drove out to chase after Adrian. She knew that he must be heading to the nursing home.Rue’s expression showed that she was in agony as she looked at her son and daughter-in-law leaving in succession.Her husband had never rested in peace all this time.She could no longer hide the truth that Henry had made her promise to not tell anyone. She had no idea how the future would turn out now that the truth was out.Meanwhile, Adrian was on his way to Swallowston Nursing Home.Samantha was already g

Upon saying that, Adrian got out of the car and strode into the construction site.The man was instantly flustered and said to him, “You’re not allowed to enter here.”He wanted to step forward and stop Adrian, but Adrian turned around and said, “I’m not joking around with you. Get your site manager to come to speak to me. Don’t make me repeat myself.”Adrian’s gaze was filled with a ferocity that scared the man out of his wits.On the other hand, Adrian had already walked into the construction site.Then, Adrian clapped and approached a construction worker to ask, “Who’s the foreman here?”The worker pointed out a man.Adrian made his way to the foreman without the slightest hesitation and said, “Are you the foreman?”The foreman took a puzzled glance at Adrian and asked, “That’s me. Why? Are you looking for a job?”“Send word to halt all works,” Adrian ordered.The foreman was a middle-aged man about forty years old.He found Adrian’s remark ridiculous. “Who the f*ck are y

Samantha attempted to stop Adrian by pulling at him, but he simply shoved her away.The foreman covered his face and was struggling to get on his feet.Adrian grabbed him by his collar as soon as he got up and hoisted him into the air with one hand.He said, “Get everyone to stop working. Are you deaf or blind? Answer me!”Thud!Upon saying that, Adrian gave the foreman’s belly another punch.The foreman was shaking from head to toe and his legs kicked frantically in mid-air. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.“I… I’ll get them to stop working.” The foreman yielded and lost the courage to continue his stubborn act.“Why didn’t you do so earlier?” Adrian asked.The foreman stuttered and simply stared at Adrian. He was at a loss for words.Adrian swung a kick and the foreman flew before landing on the ground. Adrian clapped and beckoned to the foreman. “Do it.”The foreman got up from the ground. Holding onto his belly, he shouted, “Stop working! Everybody,

“Be careful, everyone. Safety first,” said Samantha to those people.Danton’s subordinates entered the nursing home and searched for the basement entrance. The rest of the people stayed behind, waiting for orders.Riley and Elara walked over. They inspected the area around the nursing home with a few security guards from New Paraiso.The crowd anxiously waited for an update.Meanwhile, Samantha said to Danton, “Oh, Mr. Danton, are you acquainted with the president of Gamma Construction? My husband beat up one of their employees earlier and I’m worried that…”“Beat up one of their employees?” Danton was surprised. He turned around and glanced at Adrian who stood not far away from him.In truth, Danton had always thought rather highly of Adrian. When Henry was still alive, Adrian excelled at school in every area. He had even claimed that Adrian would certainly grow up to be a successful man.It was a waste that the situation had not turned out as he had expected. Adrian was suffer

Samantha became excited upon hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie.Even Danton smiled and said, “I’m sure the thing we’re looking for is inside. Bring it here.”“Yes, sir.”Shortly after that, the men who had gone into the basement returned with a rusty-looking safe. After they placed it on the floor, Danton and Samantha walked over and bent over to get a look at it.“Mr. Danton, Ms. Samantha, here’s the safe you asked for. Judging by its exterior, it’s probably seven to eight years old.”The rust around it was so bad that it could not be opened. However, the fact that it was so well hidden must mean it contained something very important.Danton asked, “Could this be the thing that Henry left behind? Do you think he locked away all of his documents inside?”Unsure of the answer herself, Samantha said, “It’s possible, but I can’t say for sure. Let’s take it back to my office first. We’ll find out what it is once we find a way to pry it open.”Danton nodded and had his men lo

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
Chapter 208
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
