Adrian saw a middle-aged man who sported elegantly arched brows and bright blue eyes. There was also a golden hairpin on his head that quivered slightly with each movement he made. Adrian did not know the guy, but he could tell the latter was a polite person. Even if they were foes, courtesy seemed to be the order of the day."I'm honored that you have come down here to welcome me, Mr. Urias. However, I'm not here for a social visit. I'm just here to ask a few questions," Adrian said as he went for a handshake.Claude was surprised. Adrian had never seen Urias, yet he recognized the person at a glance. He stood behind Adrian, remaining silent.With a smile on his face, Urias shook Adrian’s hand and said, "I apologize on my apprentice's behalf, Mr. Adrian. He can be quite unruly at times. Today's encounter will serve as a valuable lesson for him."Adrian’s brows went up. 'Rather than blaming me, he's surprisingly understanding,’ he thought. However, he refused to believe this and wa

Urias had not expected Matson to give him so much trouble. He regretted signing off on the paintings. He thought Matson was simply going to place them in the Medicis Manor study for preservation. Little had he expected Matson to hand them out as gifts.Initially planning to deny everything, Urias found himself caught red-handed in his lie when Adrian highlighted the crucial details. He forced out a smile and said, "It's just an unfortunate series of events really. When we learned of Matson’s malicious intentions yesterday, we immediately expelled him. He was trying to frame me."Claude was left without words. He had underestimated Adrian. If he had met Urias personally, things would have happened differently. "The entire Randell Manor was wiped out last night. Everything happened so suddenly, so it’s clear that someone was well-prepared," Adrian said smilingly. Urias' expression sank even further. He wanted to deny everything, but Adrian had not named any names. If he countered i

Just when Urias was about to say something, Irvin came over holding the Wyrmstrike in his hand.Irvin said indignantly, "Sir, my sword has been damaged. You must seek justice for me." He turned to look at Adrian angrily.Adrian shrugged indifferently and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" "You have to compensate me for damaging my sword!" Irvin roared."Shut up!" Urias said through gritted teeth. Just now, he asked Irvin to send Claude away. He had not expected Irvin to fail the task. "Have you not given me enough trouble?!" Urias snarled, stunning Irvin. Urias had always shown Irvin great affection and gentleness. Today was the first time he raised his voice at him, and Irvin was startled. In his heart, he wondered, 'Why is Mr. Urias letting them go? Wouldn't that damage our faction’s reputation?'Adrian ignored Irvin, turned back to Urias, and asked, "So, are you agreeable to my earlier proposal of issuing a warrant for Shay?”"Sure," Urias replied readily. Afte

"Everyone in Randell Manor is dead, yet instead of helping them seek revenge, you're out here sightseeing? How could you be so heartless?"The lady then proceeded to decapitate the horse. Without any hesitation, Adrian snapped her weapon into two halves. The lady staggered several steps back, falling to the ground and grimacing in pain."You're a bunch of cowards!" she shouted, "I thought those from Medicis Manor would be different, but I was wrong!"Claude jumped down from the carriage and was stunned when he saw the lady. "Ms. Juleen? You're alive?""Hmph!" Juleen Randell lifted her head, looking coldly at Claude. "Are you disappointed?""Of course not!" Claude hastily walked over and helped Juleen to her feet. "Are you hurt?"As soon as Claude approached Juleen, she swiftly drew a dagger and aimed it at Claude's chest. Fortunately, Adrian acted quickly and snatched the dagger from her.Claude's face turned pale with fright. He returned to Adrian's side and asked, "What did I

"That's right," Claude chimed in, "I would never do something that wicked!”Juleen refused to believe them. "Hah! No one would ever admit their wrongdoings. You must have figured out that my family obtained an extraordinary herb, and that's why you resorted to such despicable means!”Adrian knew Claude very well. There was no way he would resort to killing to gain something. The Randell Manor massacre was definitely someone else’s handiwork. However, if this girl managed to escape unharmed, it meant that she knew a lot."Ms. Juleen, I can assure you that Claude has nothing to do with the massacre of your family," Adrian said. Claude was stunned. Adrian's sincere words instantly eliminated all the resentment and jealousy in his heart. He trusted Adrian, and he certainly could not miss out on such a straightforward friend."Thank you, Adrian,” Claude said.Juleen got up from the ground. She bit her lip and her eyes glistened with tears. "Then who's the murderer?""Get into the ca

At this moment, Claude understood one thing. The tragic extermination of the Randells must be closely related to the Greenhursts. "Damn it! What are the Greenhursts trying to do?" He extended his head out the carriage window and stared at Payton, who was just getting up from the ground.Adrian crossed his arms, paying no attention to the outside events. He knew Juleen would surely handle it. This girl was no fool and would interrogate Payton herself. Just as he expected, Juleen jumped down from the carriage and shouted, "Payton Cox, we grew up together, so be honest with me!""I didn't lie to you," Payton said, "You can't follow them. They’re a bunch of villains."Feeling disappointed, Juleen said in frustration, "I'm disappointed in you, Payton. You asked me to hand over the Green Plum Grass, but that’s my family's treasure. I'll never give it to anyone.”'Green Plum Grass?' Adrian's eyes went wide. That was exactly the thing he was looking for!"You have Green Plum Grass? Th

Adrian opened his eyes. He had just found the solution for Rozi's aging issue, and now it felt out of reach again.“Are you serious?” Adrian asked."Of course, I'm serious," Juleen said, "Why would I lie to you?"Claude sighed. The Green Plum Grass was hard to come by, and the Randells should have sought advice from him when they obtained such a treasure. "You've wasted a precious treasure,” he chided. "It's none of your business!" Juleen rolled her eyes at Claude.But the next second, she began weeping. It went without saying that she understood that the tragedy that happened to Randall Manor was likely due to the Green Plum Grass. Adrian collected himself. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch and such valuable things could not be easily obtained. "Who else knows that your family has the Green Plum Grass?" he questioned."No one knows." Juleen pouted. "I now believe that Claude isn't the murderer. He has no knowledge of this information." She glanced at Claude

Marissa sighed in relief. Adrian was a man of his word, and it was clear the lady was just talking nonsense."Anyway, something happened while you were away," Marissa said, "Mr. Lionel... He's in the garden right now.""What?” Claude was stunned. Lionel was his beacon of hope, and he did not want anything to happen to Lionel."What happened?" Claude asked."It's my fault," Marissa said, "When I saw Rozi's smooth skin as if she had become eighteen again, I approached Mr. Lionel and—"But before Marissa could finish speaking, Juleen stepped forward and said, "Hey! Keep your distance from Adrian. He's mine. I'm bad-tempered, and I might hit you!""Adrian and I are good friends," Marissa said as she held Adrian's arm. "Please stop with this delusion. Adrian will never fall for you.”Adrian nodded seriously. Meanwhile, he breathed a relieved sigh. It sounded like whatever happened to Lionel was not serious, however, he was still curious about what happened. "Let's go see Lionel.”
