Chapter 1958
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

Thud! Without so much as a backward glance, Adrian hurled his sword at the tree and caused the man up there to fall to the ground. When the latter landed by Adrian's side, he asked, "Do you believe me now?""Johnny!" the man yelled in a panic, worried for the person’s life. "Are you okay?"Johnny Tackle was the man Adrian had met upon arriving in this world.Johnny’s hands were tied behind his back and his mouth was gagged. He was unable to answer the man in black. All he could do was wiggle and squirm. The man in black heaved a sigh of relief, but beads of cold sweat could be seen on his forehead. "You b*stard! Let go of Johnny! You'll become the Ivory Clouds' biggest enemy if you dare harm him!""Hah!" Adrian snorted. He had heard that the Ivory Clouds were one of the four strongest factions and wondered how powerful they would be. It turned out that they were just a bunch of weaklings. "You underestimate me. Let Rozi and the eagle go if you want him freed," Adrian said non

"Good boy." Adrian patted Adrian's face. "I’d say you won’t dare to try and come after me for this, right?"Johnny remained silent. He thought he would be able to vent his frustrations out on Adrian, but the latter never gave him the chance to do so. However, there was nothing he could do about his resentment toward Adrian. The man in black waved his hand, and Rozi was brought out. She had been tied up and thrown into the coffin where the roc was laid to rest. She was pretty badly shaken. "Adrian!" Rozi cried as she threw herself into Adrian's arms. "The roc’s body was all cut up!" "What?!" Johnny looked at the man in black angrily and in disbelief. "Did you do that?"The man in black did not dare meet Johnny's gaze. He was supposed to carry out the dissection discreetly. Nobody would have known what happened if Rozi had not been placed in the coffin. "No, I didn’t," the man immediately denied, “The roc is our leader's precious pet. All of us revered it as a divine being. Why

Everyone turned toward the elder, whose name was Sylvas Armstrong. Yet, the direction he was looking at contained nothing aside from a single light.This was the best chance for Adrian’s group to escape, so Marissa tried grabbing his hand and leaving. Yet, Adrian stood steady as a rock, not wanting to leave.Rozi urged, "We need to leave. They will surely examine the roc, so there's no need for us to stay."Adrian solemnly said, "We’d be turning ourselves into the culprits if we leave now. We’d then become targets of all four major factions and have to run for the rest of our lives."Rozi remained silent, while Marissa sighed helplessly. Marissa understood they had no choice but to resign to their fates since they did not have any allies in this world. "We've done nothing wrong, so there's no need for us to be afraid of their leader." Johnny, realizing that there was nobody in the house, was sure that Sylvas was trying to create a diversion. He quickly turned back, and when he

"It was me," Adrian confessed.Caroline was in disbelief. Gazing at his skin tone which was completely different from theirs and assuming he was much weaker than them, she wondered how Adrian could have possibly killed her bird."Are you serious?" "Absolutely." Adrian had no plans of cowering away from his actions.Caroline was devastated. Their leader forbade his apprentices to leave the mountains. When the roc was gone for a day, Caroline thought that it was just playing hide-and-seek and had been looking for it in the mountains. Yet, she was now met with such tragic news."I'm going to kill you!" she screamed.Adrian was displeased. He had been forced into killing the roc out of self-defense, after all. "Aren't you going to ask me why I killed it? Don't you think you're being too hasty?" he questioned.Caroline did not want to waste time. She thought that the trio were their guests, but after realizing that Adrian was the murderer, her mentor would surely not let him liv
Chapter 1965
Claude pondered deeply. Rozi's illness was challenging to cure and required detailed examination, and to do this, Claude needed to take her to his treatment center."You've consumed the heart of a precious beast, which has temporarily stopped your aging. However, this is only temporary. I'll take a look at your case after this is over,” Claude said smilingly.Adrian was thrilled when he heard there was hope for Rozi. He took Claude's hand and said, "Thank you, sir." "I’m only doing my duty as a doctor. Also, I'm rather intrigued by Rozi's condition. I'd be known as a miracle worker if I can cure her."‘He plans to use Rozi as an experiment?' Adrian became anxious. He thought Claude would be able to help Rozi, but he realized now it was more like a gamble. He wondered if he should seek out another doctor."You’re not confident in curing her?" Adrian asked. "No worries," Rozi interjected, "Claude, I'm willing to cooperate with your treatment. I won't hold it against you even if i
