Marissa then turned into an eagle and took to the skies after Adrian and Rozi climbed on her back. They glided smoothly toward their destination.Adrian spied the Archer family carriage in the distance. Its wheels were all gone, and he guessed someone with ill intentions must have taken them. However, he did not see any men in black. He did see Ophelia standing outside the carriage, teary-eyed. She kept looking around like she was lost.“Marissa,” Adrian ordered, “Take Arlo and Ophelia away when we get down. I’ll stay with Rozi to fight the men in black.”Marissa smiled mischievously. “Save some for me. I’ll fight them when I get back.”“No, you have to protect them.”Adrian looked solemn. Shaquille was not an easy man. Since he attacked Arlo, he surely would not give up easily.Marissa was disappointed. Adrian was so annoying. He would always get her to hide behind him. She was a brave warrior, so of course, she wanted to charge to the frontline.“This is unfair!” she said.“S

Adrian signaled to Marissa, and she instantly understood. She turned into an eagle and placed Ophelia onto her back. Rozi then kicked Caroline, and the latter flew onto the eagle’s back as well.Adrian was the slowest as he knew Arlo would suffer if there were any sudden movements. He gently placed Arlo onto the eagle’s back.The man in the black who had spoken was furious. “Kill them!”Marissa soared into the sky, keeping as stable as possible. Knowing Arlo’s condition, she slowly flew in a circle to adjust her direction.Suddenly, a roc charged out of the forest and went after Marissa. It shot toward her, attempting to knock her out of the sky.Marissa could not fight back as she had three people on her back. All that she could do was fly in circles to dodge the collision.Adrian this, but just as he was about to attack the roc, the men in black flanked him from two sides.Looking around, Adrian saw that the forest up ahead was empty. “Rozi, let’s hide inside the forest.”Who

Adrian’s expression turned cold. "These people must be from the Debonaire Syndicate. Shaquille’s pretty cunning to try and turn the syndicate against us.""His plan worked though." Rozi took a deep breath and took a few steps back, feeling extremely upset.Adrian smirked. They were fortunate to have uncovered Shaquille’s conspiracy. If they had left in a hurry, they would have been convicted and not be able to defend themselves.He suggested, "Let’s investigate the cause of their deaths."Rozi beamed. "You’re so smart, Adrian."Adrian was indeed smart. Although they were carrying swords, these people had not been slashed to death, proving that this had nothing to do with them."I’m just speculating here. We need facts."While saying this, Adrian reached out to search the clothes of one of the deceased when he heard a noise behind. He instantly became alert and shielded Rozi behind him.He asked in a vigilant tone, "Who’s there?""We’re only passing by!"Standing outside the w

The galloping of horses could be heard heading their way, and Adrian was about to stand up when he felt a slight bump at the tip of one of the corpses’ fingers. Upon closer inspection, he found it was a tiny red dot. With a gentle press, a needle poked out of the red dot.‘This should be the cause of their deaths,’ Adrian thought. Unfortunately, someone had arrived, so he had to stand up and could not inspect further.With her blade in one hand and the other hand grasping Adrian’s arm, Rozi shouted, "I’ll kill whoever dares to accuse us without evidence. One extra body doesn’t make any difference at this point.""Don’t say such nonsense, Rozi!" Adrian whispered, "We haven’t killed anyone, and this is their plan to catch us red-handed. Do you understand?""Step out!" There were sounds of someone jumping off a horse and hurrying to the edge of the woods. The person shouted, "Otherwise, I’m bringing my men in."Rozi was worried, but Adrian looked calm."Let’s go, Adrian. Let’s not d

“Can you see them and determine their cause of death while standing so far away?" Adrian questioned."I can’t see them," Igor refuted, "But Sir Hennessy is a trustworthy person and would never lie.""What I’m asking you is whether you can see the color of their lips from where you’re standing right now," Adrian asked as he sneered.Igor explained smugly, "They’re all lying on the ground, and I’m no clairvoyant, so of course, I can’t see them from here. Sir Hennessy is the one who told me that detail."Rozi then piped up, "Sir, that man you speak was standing even farther away than where you’re standing now. Also, the bodies are scattered everywhere. How could he have possibly determined anything about the bodies or the number of bodies there are.”Igor was stunned. ‘The leader of Medicis Manor surely wouldn’t lie. And these bodies certainly shouldn’t be lying neatly next to each other. This man must’ve moved them before we got here.’"Is this all true?" Igor asked.Adrian nodded

Adrian raced toward Medicis Manor.Hendrick, who was working in the herb field, immediately shouted when he saw Adrian, "Where’s Arlo?""I don’t know!" Adrian did not stop and charged on.Hendrick was puzzled, but just as he was about to ask further, Adrian had already passed the field and showed no intention of engaging in conversation.The horse had not even come to a complete stop when Adrian and Rozi both jumped off it and headed straight for Medicis Manor. The first thing that caught their eyes was the resident watchdog that was lying dead on the ground.Rozi exclaimed in shock, "Someone attacked Medicis Manor! Let’s head to study right away!""No!" Adrian had figured it out. What Shaquille wanted was the herbs and to warn them not to act recklessly while he was at it. "We have to go to the cellar. We can’t let them get the herbs."Rozi was frustrated. Lionel had regarded the study as a part of his life and loved studying the ancient tomes there. He had claimed that the tom

Adrian scoffed. "What you said may have been true in the past, but things have changed. I’m the current leader of Medicis Manor." He pointed to the silver badge on his waist.Hennessy’s expression fell. Up until now, both parties had only been bluffing without providing any concrete proof. But Adrian had now revealed his identity."Kill him! There will be a generous reward for the person that brings him down!" Hennessy shouted.Adrian sneered. "I strongly advise you to reconsider. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll make sure Moonlit answers for your actions.""Move it!" Hennessy roared.With his identity exposed, the only way for him to keep himself safe was to kill Adrian. Therefore, of course, he was not about to listen to Adrian."Stop!"Someone leaped over the wall, stood before Adrian, and glared at Hennessy."Sir Hennessy, you’re an elder of Moonlit, but you’ve tarnished the reputation of our faction for your own selfish gain. You’re my problem now," Igor said firmly.

“So, Hennessy’s the real perpetrator behind those deaths!" Adrian gnashed his teeth in anger. "I won’t let him get away with this. Anyone who dares to plot against me will pay the price!""Save me!" Igor pleaded feebly.Adrian picked Igor up and rushed to the Thousand Herbs Study. Lionel would be able to save Igor. However, the study was empty with not a soul in sight. Even after calling out several times, there was no response.‘Now what?’ Adrian put Igor down and pulled the silver needle out from Igor’s chest.The tip of the needle was black, and though only a few short moments had passed, Igor’s life was already hanging by a thread."This is the only method I can think of." After saying this, Adrian dug a hole under the peony bush and placed Igor in it. He then turned to Rozi. "Stay here and watch over him. I’m going to find Mr. Lionel.""Please be careful." Rozi was worried as their opponent this time around was ruthless. The person would do anything and would not give up so
