Chapter 1953
The man’s face turned pale. He looked at his ruined sword and felt humiliated. Upon gathering his wits, he stomped and said, "You'll pay for this!"With that solemn vow, he got onto his horse and rode away.Marissa was quite worried. That man would surely be back for revenge. She lamented over how they had made an enemy moments after entering the new world. "We should run,” she said."There’s nowhere for us to run to though,” Adrian answered. They knew nothing about Debonaire and knew they were doomed if they fell into someone's trap. Rozi agreed with Adrian, knowing that it did not matter where they were as long as he was by their side."I'm hungry. I’d love for something to eat,” Rozi said. Marissa, her senses heightened thanks to her powers, said, "There's a small town up ahead, and something there smells really good.” She was hungry too but had not dared to voice this.Adrian pondered silently. He realized they had a serious problem. They had no idea what sort of cur

The fat owner trembled with fear, involuntarily looking at his greasy hands and grateful he had not touched Marissa.With a pained expression, he stammered, “I-I'm sorry! P-Please don’t hit me! Order whatever you like, it's on the house. Can we then call it even and forget any of this ever happened?" Marissa looked at Adrian. He had always been reluctant to take advantage of others. Yet, the citizens of Debonaire seemed to only respond to fear. They rather cowered against the strong rather than conduct a fair exchange.“Should we take him up on his offer, Adrian?”Penniless and hungry, Adrian saw no other way. They needed strength to fight back if the guy from before returned for revenge, so Adrian decided they needed to eat before dealing with their other problems.“Let's go inside.”“I'll have a roasted pork knuckle." Rozi placed her order the moment she sat down. “A pound of brisket would be nice too." The owner nodded. "Right away, ma’am. Is there anything else?" “Bring

A huge plate of dragon’s heart was served next, but Marissa thought it tasted foul and lost interest in it after a bite. Instead, she set her sights on a plate of roasted chicken that had just arrived at the table. "This is delicious!" She pulled off a drumstick and handed it to Adrian. "This one's for you. You're the strongest, so you need to recover your strength."Adrian graciously accepted her offer.Rozi tucked into the dragon’s heart so much that she unknowingly finished the entire plate. As she licked her fingers, she asked, "Do you have any more? That portion was too small."The owner shuddered in fear. He had laced the food with a heavy dose of drugs. After the trio was incapacitated, he would capture them and hand them over to the Ivory Clouds."We’re out of that!" he impatiently replied.The owner sat behind the counter and carefully observed Adrian. He could tell that Adrian was the strongest among the trio and that his problems would be resolved once Adrian was out c

In less than a minute, the trio were surrounded. The elderly man at the table behind them remained indifferent, leisurely picking his teeth and simply enjoying the spectacle. "What are you doing?" Marissa shouted angrily."Try to earn some quick cash!" someone said, and the crowd grinned.Adrian glared at the owner. "How much for the food?""Four thousand chrystals," the owner lamented. He had already notified the Ivory Clouds, but no help had arrived yet, leaving him to fend for himself. The Ivory Clouds had already sent people, but they were searching at the outskirts of Greenhurst.With a slash, Adrian cut his arm and blood gushed out. "There, I've hurt myself. According to the reward for hurting me and after deducting the fare for the food, you now owe me a thousand chrystals."The owner was dumbfounded and cursed at himself. Adrian’s tactic would make him end up losing money.The old man enjoying the spectacle asked the owner, "You're not going to refuse him, are you, Ga
Chapter 1957
Marissa panicked. The roc was clearly a powerful beast, while Marissa was just an ordinary eagle that greatly paled in comparison. "Adrian, I can't beat that bird. We should go, now," Marissa whispered, fearing the opponent might hear her and be further emboldened.Adrian was frustrated. The fight had just started, and Marissa was already showing weakness. This would only feed their opponent’s ego."Stop it," Adrian commanded Marissa in a low voice. "You don't have to be scared when I'm around.""Marissa." Rozi stood next to Adrian as she called on her sword. "Adrian's right. We have to be confident in ourselves.”The muscular man looked disdainfully at Adrian and snorted, "You're not going anywhere!"The roc, too, looked smug and it flapped its wings aggressively and dived straight at Adrian and Rozi. Swift as lightning, the roc's sharp beak nipped at them like a sharp sword. Adrian frowned slightly, annoyed at the man's audacity for wanting to kill them even though they mere

The men bravely stepped forward and were ready to fight, aiming for the huge bounty from taking down the trio. Marissa's expression darkened. She decided not to show them any mercy despite how handsome they were and dashed toward one of the men who had blue eyes.Stab!As blood splattered, the blue-eyed man dropped dead before he could even make a sound. The other men froze. Their gaze turned to Marissa. She had mercilessly taken someone’s life. Realizing that they needed to eliminate her first, one of the men yelled, "You're dead!" Several swords were raised as the men cut off Marissa's escape routes. "Such shameless men. Don't you feel embarrassed having to gang up on a woman?" Marissa grasped her sword and decided that it was all or nothing. One of the men coldly said, "We only care about the outcome, not the process."These men were not going to back down through logic or reason. Adrian yelled, "Stand down, Marissa! Pride doesn't matter! Staying alive is what matters
Chapter 1959
Adrian did not wish to stay any longer either. Greenhurst was too small a place for any renowned doctor to exist. They needed to find somewhere larger if they wished to cure Rozi. "Let's go,” he said.After leaving, the trio arrived at a fork with no road sign. Each path led to somewhere far in the distance."What the hell?" Marissa kicked a pebble by her feet and angrily said, "How are we supposed to choose which road to take?" Adrian remained silent. At the moment, they were clueless about Debonaire. Moreover, because of that run-in, they had lost track of that old man, Claude, who was talented in medical treatments."Are those lights over there? Let's go and take a look," Rozi suggested. They found that it was a house close to Greenhurst. Adrian was worried the occupants may not wish to take them in after the huge commotion in the town. Marissa was overjoyed they were able to find a place to rest, especially since the sky had turned dark. "Adrian, I think you should be ge

"I'm an elder of the Ivory Clouds. You've taken my roc's life, and for that, you three will die.” Adrian's scalp tingled when he heard this sinister voice. The lights suddenly went out, plunging them into darkness. Adrian tried to reach out to hold Rozi's hand, but she was no longer there.He yelled anxiously, "Rozi!" There was no response.Swish! An arrow suddenly flew toward Adrian, aimed at claiming his life. Adrian dropped to the floor as he figured that was the safest place to be. He narrowly dodged the arrow, which bounced off the door and a few walls before clattering to a stop by his side. Whoosh! The lights returned and the house was lit up once again. Adrian was no longer at the same spot he was a moment ago and was completely alone. He rolled over toward a large tree and climbed it. Although Rozi and Marissa were missing, he remained rational and calm. He knew it was important to be so at the moment. "Show yourself!" A man in black appeared, dragging a net behi
