Adrian's gaze was sharp. The moment the silver needle was drawn, it reflected the sunlight straight into his eyes."Urias, make your third move,” he said."I concede.” Urias believed there was no need to continue the fight, fearing for his life if that were to pass. "I won't meddle in your affairs."Payton was in despair. He had planned to strike Adrian during the third move, but now the opportunity was gone, and he was sure Adrian would not let him off."Sir, I can help you!" Payton urged."Idiot!" Urias scolded, thoroughly disgusted with his apprentice. He would not have been embarrassed if not for him. "What exactly did you do that night?" he questioned.Payton, in pain, tried to confront Adrian. But as he moved, pain shot through his legs. "I didn't do anything. All I did was to try and please Juleen!" he answered."Hmph!" Juleen saw through his true colors and believed he was lying. "I'll find out the truth even if you refuse to spill it."Urias took out a pill. "This is

Payton fell into the water. He grasped onto a reef, managing to hold on despite the surging waters.Seeing Urias approaching, he cried out, "Save me, sir. I'm drowning!""Traitor!" Urias spat out, utterly disappointed in Payton. "Where did the Withering Spirit Poison come from?"Payton looked toward Adrian. "Will you help me if I tell you the truth?""I will," Adrian conceded as Payton was his only lead.Payton, sobbing and sniffling, confessed, "We were out hunting, and it was my first time. They had me shoot the first arrow and then sent me away, claiming it was to test my strength."‘Hunting?’ Adrian was taken aback, then realized he was thought of as prey.Those men in black could not have been from the Randell family as their faces were all destroyed. What was going on here?"Be more specific!" Adrian demanded.Juleen and Urias exchanged confused looks. Hunting in the forest was one thing, but why at the Riston family's estate?Urias' face darkened with anger. "You were

Adrian crouched down and asked patiently, "How does one go about joining this hunting group?""You probably don't qualify," Payton replied, too scared to look at Adrian. "We only accept people with our skin color. That is the purpose of this group—to protect our interests."Urias became even more upset. Matson had controlled everything in the Greenhursts, and everyone was willing to follow him, leaving Urias essentially powerless. Thankfully, Adrian had killed Matson."You're despicable!" Adrian was beginning to understand. He had thought Four Great Factions had collaborated in destroying the Randell family, but now he saw that was not the case."Matson was one of you, wasn't he?""Sort of," Payton answered weakly, "He was a high-level member involved in their plans, while I’m just a small fry who had just entered their ranks."Adrian took a deep breath. The hunting group was not only widespread but also powerful, gaining support by purporting to protect the interests of those fr

"You've given me nothing but humiliation!" Payton retorted, "Following you leads nowhere. Those in the hunting group of my age are already famous."Urias was speechless.Adrian found a clue. In Medicis Manor, only Axel and Claude could profit from such a group."Ms. Juleen, you should go back with Urias. I'm in a dangerous situation, and staying with me will only bring you bad luck.""No, I won’t," Juleen rejected, "You're severely poisoned and are no match for them. I want to help you."Payton was secretly elated. Adrian was poisoned, and if he shared this with the hunting group, he would surely receive a substantial reward."Didn’t he just get the antidote?""The antidote is useless!" Juleen knew the poison was in the dragon bone, and that was not Matson’s doing. "This has nothing to do with the Greenhursts."Payton's joy intensified. With this information, the hunting group would be overjoyed. As long as they withheld the antidote, Adrian would eventually be doomed.Adrian

The person who came was Bucky.He had slept well the night before and woke up to find Adrian missing. Feeling guilty, he knew Adrian had gone to Greenhurst Mountain and immediately followed on horseback. Unfamiliar with the road, Bucky had taken a wrong turn. After asking several people, he finally found the right path and rode on to the Greenhursts. He became alert upon spotting a large pit ahead and slowed down. "Sir Adrian, did you fall down there?" Bucky called out from a distance, cautious not to approach, knowing that there could be an ambush.Adrian's spirits lifted upon hearing Bucky’s voice. He jumped onto the rock, stopping Bucky's advance. "Turn around and go!""Okay!" Bucky turned the horse around skillfully.Adrian immediately hopped on behind him, urging, "Go!"The men in black reacted too late. By the time they emerged from their hiding spots, Adrian and Bucky had already galloped a hundred meters away, beyond the reach of their arrows.Bucky, frowning, asked w

Shaquille was no one powerful. All he did was control people's lives to gain more resources. He thought he was invincible just because of that.“Don’t worry.” Adrian had a sudden burst of confidence. It did not make sense that they would fail to fight a cunning b*stard like him. “I’ll make you a glorified man so that you won’t regret your decision.”Bucky found peace from hearing that. Although Adrian was at a disadvantage now, he was sure that he could turn things around. However, it was worrying that he had become a prey now.“I’ll plead on your behalf, sir!” Bucky said.“Please.” Adrian was not a coward and was against Bucky pleading for him. “I’d rather die than plead.”What a man Adrian was!Bucky was encouraged. He watched Adrian's righteous back that was facing him. It would be ridiculous if they failed.“We won’t be pleading with Shaquille!” Adrian got onto his horse and turned his head to Bucky. “Don’t tell anyone about our conversation. I don't want my friends to worry
Chapter 2077
Adrian hid behind a tree. ‘Axel looks fixated on the dragon bone under the bush. Is he trying to steal it?’ he wondered.Axel then reached out for the dragon bone, but the windows to the study suddenly opened, revealing Claude’s face.“Are you experienced in removing poisons, Mr. Axel?” Claude asked.“Ugh, you b*stard!” Axel patted his chest Upset, he scolded, “You scared me. Why were you being so sneaky?”“Were you—”Axel shushed Claude just as the latter was about to speak, gesturing him to not alert Lionel.Claude shut his mouth right away.‘Interesting.’ Adrian considered exposing Axel right then and there. Watching the pair so in sync, he could not tell which of them truly belonged to the Wolf Fangs.The pair were communicating with just their eyes, and it seemed to be going well. Adrian could not guess what they were talking about.A familiar voice then came from behind Adrian. “Why are you hiding behind a tree, Battle Warrior?”Adrian turned around to find Joe who was

Axel wanted to cry. He was pissed to see Lionel treating Adrian while ignoring him. He snatched the dragon bone. “Nobody lives if you won’t treat me.” He then turned around and tried to run.Adrian stretched out his leg and tripped Axel. The bone fell out of Axel’s grasp and rolled to a stop at Joe’s foot.Joe picked it up and threw it at Adrian. “Catch. Why are you guys fighting over a piece of stupid bone?”Axel leaped out. His movement was quick and clean. He was no longer slow and lecherous like before. It was like he was a changed man.Claude asked in shock, “When did you become so powerful, Mr. Axel?”Axel shuddered, speechless. He felt horrible as he held the dragon bone in his hands.Adrian crossed his arms. He waved at Joe. “Go somewhere else. Prohibit anyone from coming in. We’re going to discuss business.”Joe bowed and left.Embarrassed, Axel could not bring himself to look at Adrian. He held tight to the dragon bone. Suddenly, it shattered under his grip.Crack!
