"I’m cruel?" Adrian scoffed. "You lot came here to destroy Medicis Manor. I was simply defending myself."Quinn fell silent. Bucky then came up to them, "Impressive as always, sir! You managed to capture a live one. Please, allow me to interrogate him.”"Sure." Adrian threw Quinn to Bucky.As long as Rozi was safe, everything else was not a problem. He was not scared of these people since they did not even have the guts to face him directly. Bucky looked Quinn up and down, then he was stunned. "Mr. Quinn? What're you doing here?""Let me go and my father will reward you generously," Quinn urged, "He might even give you a place within the Langley family.""Hah!" Buckley sneered, unable to believe that Quinn was trying to bribe him.The last thing Bucky wanted to do was betray Adrian though as he had great confidence in Adrian and was determined to follow him."Thanks but no thanks, Mr. Quinn. I'm just a lowly homeless guy. You treated me like a dog in the past and barely even
Chapter 2098
Caroline had no choice but to do as Adrian said. After all, she had narrowly escaped death, and she did not want to experience that again. She used to complain about her father a lot, saying he was incapable. She now realized her past was like Heaven compared to the current nightmare she was living in."Okay, I’ll check myself in check," Caroline said softly.Ophelia was surprised. Caroline, usually unruly and never listening to others, readily complied with Adrian. This proved the influence he had on her."Let's go back to our room," Ophelia said, worried that Caroline might cause trouble. "We should get Dr. Claude to tend to your wounds as well.”Caroline was reluctant to leave. She had noticed that Adrian had somehow become younger, and he now reflected the image of her ideal man perfectly. Unfortunately, he did not like her."I want to stay a bit longer,” she whined."Stop fantasizing, girl," Marissa said as she patted Caroline's shoulder. "Adrian’s already married, so it’s u

Quinn's eyes nearly popped out of his sockets. Adrian indeed was more formidable than he had imagined. He desperately suppressed his fear and pleaded pitifully, “I've confessed everything. Can you please let me go? That’s the only way for me to return home."Adrian shook his head. He was determined not to be Shaquille's scapegoat. If Quinn was just one of Shaquille's pawns, things might get troublesome if he let Quinn go. "I'm worried you'll be silenced to cover up the crime,” Adrian said."Really?" Quinn covered his chest and found that his wound had already scabbed over. "What medicine did you use on me?""I'm not telling." Adrian did not have time to bother with Quinn right now.After the men in black had been buried, Rozi hurriedly ran over. "Adrian, Igor has recovered. He said he wishes to give the Purple Scimitar to you as a token for saving him. He has already left."Adrian was overwhelmed with joy. Possessing a formidable weapon boosted his confidence even further. If Sh

Quinn was overjoyed. His father would surely not scold him if they had a visitor."Thank you!" Quinn said.He then stole a glance at Adrian. Upon seeing the indifference on the latter’s face, he felt relieved.As the three were about to leave, a stranger arrived at Medicis Manor. He was finely dressed, and the opulent carriage he arrived in exuded a fragrant scent that could be detected from even a distance.Adrian did not recognize this person, but Bucky did. Having wandered through Debonaire for a long time, he knew the ins and outs of various factions and was acquainted with many leaders. The catch was, they did not know him.Seeing the carriage, Bucky was shocked. He never expected someone to use rare costus herbs to make a carriage. Whoever was inside the carriage must have an extraordinary background.When the person inside stuck his head out, Bucky muttered to himself, "Wince Hernandez!"Adrian commented, "That name sounds pretty prominent. How does he compare to the lead

Wince sat in the main hall of Medicis Manor, taking sips of the hot tea Bucky presented him. Impressed by the latter’s performance, he generously tossed ten chrystals to Bucky."Keep it.""Thank you, Mr. Wince!" Bucky said excitedly. Just as Bucky turned around, he caught sight of Adrian staring at him. Terrified, he looked at the chrystals in his hand. Although he was reluctant to give them up, he mustered the courage and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wince. I can't accept this."Wince was stunned. Bucky looked like a person who loved chrystals. He had not expected him to refuse the gift.Adrian nodded in satisfaction. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If they took from others, the other party would expect something in return. Since Bucky considered Adrian as his mentor, he could no longer accept gifts from others."So, what do you want from me, Mr. Wince?" Adrian inquired."There's nothing I want from you," Wince said, looking stern. Although his visit seemed lik

"What do we do?""Mr. Claude isn't here either," Rozi said, her face paling, "Mr. Arlo just woke up, and I didn't dare tell him. Right now, Caroline is negotiating with those people."Bucky returned to the hall. He found a lifeless body lying on the floor, its face twisted in agony."Who is he?" Bucky asked.Adrian rolled his eyes. Upon noticing the distressed look on Bucky's face, he knew that something must have happened on Rozi's side. “Who he is doesn't matter. What matters is who killed him," Adrian said.“Those were wise words." Wince chuckled.He was convinced that Adrian's downfall was imminent. If everything proceeded smoothly and he assumed control of Medicis Manor, it would undoubtedly prove to be a lucrative venture.The elderly man put on leather gloves as he crouched to examine the corpse. He then announced confidently, “This man died a horrible death. He was poisoned and stabbed multiple times. The fatal blow was to the chest.”“Is that so?” Adrian questioned,

Vulture fell silent. This matter was related to his reputation. Once it spread, he would undoubtedly be called out and face severe consequences."This chest wound was caused by your scimitar, is it not?" Vulture asked."Yes, it is," Adrian calmly responded. He pulled out the Purple Scimitar and continued, "This used to be Igor's. He just gifted it to me."Vulture's face darkened as regret overwhelmed him. All of these people were from Moonlit. He was aware of the internal strife among the members, so as an outsider, he had no right to interfere."I…""Please leave immediately," Adrian commanded coldly, "This is Medicis Manor's affair, and you people have no right to interfere. If anyone tries to stick their nose in this matter again, there will be consequences."Vulture felt a shiver down his spine. He went back to Wince, and stood behind him dejectedly. However, Wince faced Adrian's gaze head on. He did not feel embarrassed at all.Instead, he smiled and said, "Please don't get

This was a good place for growing herbs. This must be the reason why the three great physicians chose this place."You don't understand," Adrian said firmly, "Without Medicis Manor, the three great physicians can’t fully apply their skills.""Mr. Adrian’s right," Bucky said as he entered the hall, "I've traveled every inch of Debonaire, and this place is a great location. The three great physicians really have a discerning eye."Caroline nodded in approval, her admiration for Adrian reaching new heights. Adrian had only been here for a few days, yet he managed to uncover its secrets. It just showed how smart he was. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Adrian, now that the crisis at Medicis Manor is resolved, can you help Ivory Cloud? After all, you’re the acting leader.""Not now," Adrian calmly answered, "Arlo has yet to fully recover, so I can't go to Ivory Cloud just yet."Caroline sighed and nodded. However, when she gave it a second thought, she found it acceptab
