Reborn Through Fire By Kazuya Higan Chapter 921

Chapter 921 He Is Born Cold-Blooded and Ruthless Adrien leaned against the wall at the far end of the hallway and smoked.

Lea walked over to him apprehensively. She knew Adrien was a powerful man whom Sharon and Anthony were both sucking up to. So she knew she could not afford to offend him. But he was responsible for Kisa and Gilbert’s fallout. Whenever she saw Kisa’s grief–stricken face, she had wanted to tell the truth but did not dare. She was still too timid and cowardly.

“Mr. Tanner.”

“Anthony dotes on you, doesn’t he?” Adrien asked an entirely unrelated question. Lea was transfixed for a moment, not saying anything. He exhaled a ring of smoke and smiled absently. “I wanted to kill you a few times, but Anthony stopped me.”

Lea was wide–eyed, not fearing his killing intent but in shock that Anthony would protect her.

“You and Anthony are pretty close, too, aren’t you?” Adrien looked at her. He had a gentle smile on his face, but the look in his eyes was intimidating. “Frankly speaking, Anthony is just a stooge of the Mullen family. I can have him kicked out of the Mullen family and also put him in charge of the Mullen family.

The key depends on how you behave.”

“Me?” Lea was too stunned to speak.

Adrien suddenly drew closer to her and chuckled. “I don’t like killing people. If you are smart, then keep your mouth shut. If you talk too much, you and Anthony… Heh!” Adrien said nothing more, but that last chuckle had a strong, chillingly threatening connotation. He stubbed out his cigarette, walked past her, and headed for Jensen’s ward.

Lea tugged tightly at the straps of her backpack. Her back was wet with sweat because of her internal struggle. A moment later, she finally exhaled and smiled self- deprecatingly, conscious of the fact that she was also an extremely selfish person.

Adrien and Lea came back, one after the other. Kisa wiped the tears from her eyes and asked, “Where were you two going?”

Adrien said nothing, just looked meaningfully at Lea.

Lea came over and whispered to her, “Mr. Tanner is worried about you. He just asked me to go out and told me to take good care of you.”

Kisa stared at Jensen and said to Adrien, “Thank you.” Her hand was still holding Jensen’s, which was shapely with long fingers. He had several tiny cuts on the back of his hand, all from the broken glass. She stroked the wounds, heartbroken, with guilt on her face.

Adrien glanced at her and said in a sad voice, “The doctor said that Jensen might not wake up for the rest of his life.”

Kisa’s heart sank, accompanied by a tinge of grief. ‘For the rest of his life… But he is so young and so outstanding. How could he spend his life lying in bed like this?‘

“I never expected that Gilbert would do such a thing. At first, I thought since they were brothers and even if Gilbert wanted to kill the warden, he wouldn’t hurt Jensen. But I overestimated the weight of family in his heart,” Adrien said.

The mention of Gilbert made Kisa’s heart swell with intense hatred. ‘Family? Heh, when did he ever care about relationships in this world? He is born to be a cold- blooded and ruthless person. I should have seen through him after the fire that year.’

“If I had known this would happen, the warden should have hidden at my place so that nothing would have happened to Jensen.”
