Chapter 2078
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!
Chapter 2079
Lionel said, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’ve already found the antidote. We don’t need the dragon bone any longer. Thanks for your help, I guess?”Axel shuddered. He found Lionel terribly annoying. He never expected Lionel to be so capable. This fact made Axel furious.“Go to hell!” Axel shouted.Whoosh! Whoosh!Though Axel was heavy, he proved pretty agile. He retrieved a sword from his waist and stabbed at Lionel’s throat, showing no mercy. Unfortunately for him, Adrian moved faster than he did.Adrian had been watching him and knew he was going to attack Lionel. Adrian grabbed hold of Axel’s arm and twisted it, effectively locking him in place.“You're trying to kill Mr. Lionel?” Adrian stared daggers at Axel. “You’re not worthy.”Axel remained calm. Since he failed to achieve his goal, he kicked Adrian in an attempt to crush the latter’s chest. He thought he had the upper hand in a close-range fight.“I’ll kill you since you’re asking for it!” Axel said that viciousl
Chapter 2080
Axel had lost his confidence. Shaquille had only treasured him because he provided them with many top-tier herbs that could not be bought with money. Now that he was useless, Shaquille would certainly stop protecting him.Overwhelmed with fear, he looked at Claude. “I’m sorry, my dear apprentice. I’ll repent. I won’t do such a thing ever again,” he begged.Adrian was gloating. It was too late for Axel to beg now. He was not about to forgive Axel so easily as the latter had tried to kill him. Axel thought too highly of himself.“Drag him out and hang him on the door,” Adrian commanded, “Anyone who goes against Medicis Manor deserves death.”Claude whispered, “Wouldn’t I seem heartless if I do that?”“We’re being surrounded right now.” Realizing Claude had yet to realize the situation, he said, “Shaquille isn’t an easy man. He’ll attack us, and aren’t you afraid?”Claude shuddered at that threat. He had heard about Shaquille Paxtion—said to be a man who never forgave his enemies. H

Adrian shut his eyes and focused his breath in his lower abdomen as he was instructed. He felt warmth in his palms and soles. He felt as if he was floating on water—like there was a current washing over him.He felt really good!Lionel left quietly. Axel always had his house locked, prohibiting anyone from going in. It proved that he hid treasures inside. Now that Axel was hung at the door, Lionel figured he could check out the place.Fifteen minutes later, someone walked toward the peony bush silently.Marissa, who had been standing watch in the shadows, shouted, “Stop right there!”“Jeez!” The person patted his chest and said guilty, “Oh, it’s you, Marissa. You scared me.”“Why are you here?” Marissa stared at Joe while lifting her blade. She prohibited anyone from getting close to Adrian. “Step back.”Instead of stepping back, Joe went forward. “I’m just curious, Marissa. Calm down.”Adrian opened his eyes and locked eyes with Joe. As if he had seen through Joe, he said cold

“So what?”Adrian knew what he said was working, so he said even more arrogantly, “You might not be able to kill me even if you tried.”This irritated Joe even more. Regret was brewing inside him. He could have brought glory if he had kept his identity as a spy hidden. However, he made such a foolish decision due to greed.“I’m not buying it!” Joe thundered.He did not have time left. There was nothing else that he could do now. He glanced at the study and saw that there was no one inside.Joe decided that was the best direction for him to run in. He sensed someone in there before. Instead of staying to watch or help, that person had left despite something so grave happening.Before he had thought things out, he exerted strength and tried to hit Adrian’s head. All he cared about was crushing Adrian’s head.At that very second, Adrian buried his head in the soil, successfully dodging Joe’s attack. He thought he would not be able to breathe, but to his pleasant surprise, he found

Joe’s eyes rolled back. The poison should not have taken his life immediately, but his anger exacerbated his condition. He died instantly.Marissa was startled. “He’s dead.”“Throw him outside, and remember to wear gloves,” Adrian said indifferently, “I’m sure Shaquille will be here anytime now.”Marissa went looking for Lionel, wanting to borrow his leather gloves.Lionel then came running over, shaking and pale. “Battle Warrior! Axel’s a perverted man! There are several human skeletons in his room. I think they’re his experiments,” he said fearfully.Adrian was shocked. If that was the case, he would not let Axel go. He had to get Axel to explain himself.“Let’s go to the entrance,” Adrian said.“Have you recovered?” Lionel was in disbelief. Adrian just had the poison removed from his body and should need at least six hours of rest.Excited, Adrian said, “I’m back to normal now. I can kill three tigers if I want to.”That did not sound right to Lionel. However, he could only

“Of course not,” Adrian said flatly, “The Four Great Factions can’t just sit back after so many things have happened. Naturally, they’d go after Shaquille. I’m sure he dares not show himself right now.”“That makes sense,” Lionel said, “Allow me to help. As long as Medicis Manor is on the same level as the Four Great Factions, Shaquille won’t dare to touch us.”“But…” Claude looked beaten and sad. “I checked the warehouse, and it’s empty.”“What about the herb field?” Adrian asked, “Medicis Manor will flourish as long as the herbs are growing. Don’t worry.”Lionel looked beaten too as he trailed behind them. He said in disappointment, “The herbs have all wilted. We’re doomed.”“What do we do?” Claude covered his eyes. “Dr. Matteo will be coming for his herbs in a month from now. He’ll never come again if he finds out about our situation.”Adrian fell silent. Claude had been here for a while, so he should be familiar with the processes within Medicis Manor. How had he not noticed

Adrian hesitated. Lionel had gotten Rozi’s condition under control, but she had yet to be fully cured. Adrian had to find the Green Plum Grass and could not stay at Medicis Manor forever.“I will leave eventually,” he mused.“Please help me, Adrian,” Claude begged, “I have to be under Mr. Lionel’s tutelage right now and have no time to manage Medicis Manor.”Adrian did not reply, so Claude continued, “I know you need the Green Plum Grass, and you can only obtain such a precious item by becoming Medicis Manor’s leader.”“All right then.”Adrian agreed to the proposal. However, he knew that he might attract many enemies because of his skin color. His life was about to become a lot more chaotic.Claude was over the moon. “Here, take this.”“What is it?”Adrian studied the silver badge Claude handed him and guessed it was the Medicis Manor leadership symbol. There had been a similar item in Ivory Cloud as well.Claude then secured the badge to Adrian’s belt. “This is the symbol of
