‘He wants all of us turned into cripples as well?!’
All of Adaline’s schoolmates were stunned, but then they realized they had also said some mean stuff to gain Kevan and Harry’s favor. They thought those words would not have any implications. But it was exactly because of this that Adrian announced he wanted all of their legs broken.
“Ada… Ada, please… Please don’t do this! We’re all schoolmates, Ada!”
No longer having scornful looks on their faces, all of Adaline’s schoolmates only showed helplessness and despair. They knew that Adrian would never spare them, so they began to beg Adaline for mercy.
In fact, Adaline herself was stunned by the development of the situation. She looked at Adrian before looking at Lucas, confused as to why any of those things were happening.
“Go ahead and do as you’re told, General Daniel.” Lucas gestured.
“Yes, sir,” Daniel replied and waved his hand, ordering the escorts to move onward.
Everyone was now on the floor after their legs had given way. They were filled with despair.
Shortly after that, horrified screams could be heard echoing throughout the entire room, followed by the people inside sprawling on the floor and convulsing. Including Stella.
It did not matter what gender they were. Everyone was treated equally.
Adaline had her eyes shut during the entire process, hearing only the screams of her schoolmates. She was still surprised that something as horrifying as this was happening.
Meanwhile, Adrian stood up, stormed toward Adaline, and said, “Let’s go.”
Adaline did not dare stay any longer when she saw Adrian walk out of the room and followed suit, leaving behind Stella and the others to be in so much pain they could no longer let out even a groan.
***
Adrian remained silent the entire time after leaving the place.
