Chapter 2060
Adrian held back the words he was about to say. He had figured out who the murderer was, and he had the evidence too. However, there was nothing Juleen could do even if he told her the truth.Juleen, as if she knew what was on his mind, asked, "Do you think I'm no match for the murderer?""Yes," Adrian said while nodding. "If I were you, I'd return to bury my kin and then live a peaceful life.""No!" Juleen jumped to her feet, her eyes filled with resentment. "I will never forgive that person. Tell me who did it.”Adrian pulled back his hand. Juleen was blinded by her hatred. He knew that in her current state, she would only be seeking her demise if she went down this path."You need to calm down, Ms. Juleen. How about resting at Medicis Manor for a few days first? You can assist Mr. Lionel in studying the soil too," Adrian suggested.Juleen got onto her knees and pleaded, "Adrian, I'll tell you everything. There are still a few surviving Randells, and I'm worried that there may

Adrian smashed through the window and kicked the tail of the incoming arrow, altering its trajectory. The arrow whizzed past Juleen's side and lodged into a nearby tree trunk. Juleen stood frozen in shock.Adrian quickly the shooter to be a man in gray, who coldly laughed and readied another shot. "Stop!" Adrian commanded.The man in gray ignored him, determined to eliminate Juleen. "Who are you to order me?" He sneered, firing two more arrows.With Adrian's timely intervention, Juleen was saved as they took cover behind a large tree. Juleen, now composed, confronted the man. "Why do you want to kill me, Darryl?""For betraying the faction," replied Darryl Thompson, clearly displeased.Adrian then realized another one of Greenhursts’ members was involved, making the Randell family massacre connection to the Greenhursts more apparent than ever.Juleen, confused, turned to Adrian and asked aloud, "I haven't betrayed the faction. I was just resting here for a while. Did the lead

Adrian turned to Juleen and said, "You're free to leave with him if you wish. I won't stop you.""No, Darryl, I have to stay here. You should return to the Greenhursts and never come back here,” Juleen said.Darryl left, disappointed and intimidated by Adrian's formidable presence, especially after the latter had shown up in front of him in an instant.Juleen asked, "Who was it that massacred my family then?"Adrian calmly replied, "It's most likely the doing of the Four Great Factions. There are more of them who wish you dead to avoid trouble."Juleen shuddered at the thought. Darryl and Payton were probably simply acting on orders. She then thought about how cruel Urias was. "So I'm left with no option but death?" she said in despair."Who said that?" Adrian chuckled. "There will always be someone willing to stand up in the face of injustice.""Will you help me?" Juleen asked tentatively, lacking the courage to look at Adrian.Rozi intervened, "Adrian, we're in danger ourselv

Claude emerged from the study and said, "Don't thank her just yet. That grass can remain dormant for more than a hundred years. It’ll be extremely difficult to get it to sprout again."Rozi was stunned, torn between believing Claude or Juleen.Juleen chuckled. "I certainly am no expert. The Green Plum Grass was thriving when it came to us, but it withered after a week."Claude explained, "It can only germinate in extreme cold, so it's nearly impossible for it to sprout in our warm climate."Adrian, however, was not convinced. He believed since they had the grass seeds in their possession, there was no reason for it to fail to grow unless Claude was not confident enough."Enough of this nonsense. We're all in this together now, so you need to find a way to revive it,” Adrian declared.Claude, slightly showing off, said, "I have an idea to create a cold environment to help it sprout."Rozi praised, "That's incredible! Claude" She genuinely despised her current appearance and cou

Lionel, after a moment of silence, said, "Our kind are rare in these parts. Coupled with how exceptional you are, it's only natural that others would be jealous of you." Adrian, realizing the dragon bones were poisoned and his life was on the line, was furious. "You said that I have twelve days left?"Lionel examined the shattered bones and reassuringly said, "Don't worry. If someone poisoned this, there must be a cure to it."Knowing Matson was affiliated with the Greenhursts and suspecting them of the poisoning, Adrian realized seeking help from Urias was futile. "The others will surely refuse to help. If I'm to die, I won't beg others to save me,” Adrian said resolutely.Just as he was about to leave the study, Lionel called out, "This poison isn't too lethal. I'd like to conduct some experiments. Will you cooperate?""Of course." Adrian agreed readily as long as it did not involve Urias.Rozi, frowning, voiced her concerns about the risk of the experiment. "Are you sure th

Claude looked at his feet, lacking the courage to face Adrian as he muttered, “We're just trying to save you. I'd go through hell and back too if I could save you."“Quiet!” Adrian was nearly driven mad.He, a former formidable war legate, now needed someone else’s help. This was a huge blow to his dignity.Claude added, “Juleen just left. You might be able to catch up with her if you hurry."“Fine.” Adrian quickly instructed, “Take care of Rozi. I'll be back soon. I don't want anyone else to act recklessly without my permission."Claude had no choice but to agree.Adrian immediately set off after Juleen. There was only one road to Greenhurst Mountain, so he should be able to find her quickly. He got onto a horse and spurred it into a gallop.As he approached the foot of Greenhurst Mountain, there was no sign of Juleen. Adrian became anxious and wondered if Claude had lied to him. But that was impossible as Claude had always been truthful with him and treated him as a good frien

Payton could not believe it. His iron hammers were solid, so there was no way they could be split apart so easily. Adrian's prowess was clearly terrifying, and Payton regretted his actions immensely. "Save me, sir!" he cried out.Adrian was startled. He was not expecting for Urias to show up, making the situation even more complicated. His suspicions about the deviousness of the Greenhursts were confirmed."It doesn't matter who comes! I'm surprised at how utterly shameless you people are. You even harmed your own people.” Adrian sneered.Payton hastily retreated.Juleen, tied to a tree a hundred meters away, was just regaining consciousness and noticed her predicament. She immediately cursed, "Payton! I never took you to be so despicable! You don’t have even a shred of loyalty in you! I regret ever getting to know someone like you!""Juleen?" Adrian exclaimed in surprise, not expecting her to have reached this place in such a short time. This exceeded his expectations.Payton

Payton then cried out, "Sir! This man ruined my manhood! You have to avenge me!" Urias' expression darkened as he looked at Adrian with sharp eyes, "Why did you attack Payton? He's a kind-hearted boy."Adrian was speechless. Urias was blind to Payton's true nature. If Payton dared to assault his own fellow disciple, what would he not do?Juleen quickly interjected, "Sir, Payton tied me up and planned to defile me. Adrian saved me."The realization hit Urias hard. Payton, someone he valued, was supposed to be level-headed. He never expected his potential successor to do such a thing."Is this true, Payton?" Urias demanded.Payton, having slid down from the tree, enduring pain and bitterness, found it hard to deny. Adrian sneered. "Time to own up to your actions, my friend. Why are you being a coward after all those tough words you said?"Embarrassed and wishing he could dig a hole and hide in it, Payton regretted provoking Adrian and lamented his actions. He quickly came up wi
