Chapter 2105
There were no signs of anyone at the entrance of Medicis Manor. Adrian felt a bit disappointed. Just as he was about to leave, a gentle voice said, "Mr. Adrian, come over for a chat."The man who had spoken was dressed in gray and wore a wide-brimmed hat that obscured his face. Adrian wondered how Caroline had seen his face."Come in," Adrian insisted."I’d rather we talk outside," the man countered."All right then." Adrian conceded. "So, who are you?""I am Shaquille Jarvis," the man introduced himself. He then took off his hat, revealing a delicate face. When Adrian saw that he was from the Sun Tribe as well, he instantly understood Caroline's reaction. As long as the person was not from the Moon Tribe, she tended to look down on them, thinking they looked unattractive."I'm Adrian Xander," Adrian said. Even though both of them were from the Sun Tribe, their polite behavior hinted at hidden hostility.Shaquille smiled. "You're quite clever, Adrian. I'm truly impressed. I'

"Sure, I’ll make that bet," Adrian said. He wanted to keep a wide berth from Shaquille as being associated with him might bring disaster.Shaquille frowned and felt a little displeased at Adrian's confidence. It seemed to him that Adrian still needed to learn some crucial lessons about survival in this new territory."If you fail, you'll serve me and follow my orders," Shaquille said.Even though Adrian knew these were not fair terms, Adrian still agreed to avoid being troubled by Shaquille. "Fine." Shaquille felt a twinge of dissatisfaction. The fact that Adrian agreed to his bet without hesitation made him question both the situation and himself."I won't stop at what I need to do," Shaquille said.Adrian knew what Shaquille was saying. Even without the latter, Urias would not let him off easily. "Do what you must,” he said.Shaquille was stunned. Never in his wildest dreams had he thought Adrian would not be intimidated by him. Although Adrian was fortunate to escape this ti

Noting Shaquille's silence, Adrian added, "If you genuinely don't know the Abioyes’ whereabouts, I won't force you."Feeling provoked, Shaquille said, "Don’t worry about that.”He then instantly regretted what he said. Adrian was as cunning as a fox, and he had not expected Adrian to plot against him."You brat. You probably haven't seen the worst side of the world. Without my help, you'll find life very difficult in the future. Enjoy your peace while it lasts."Adrian was surprised. Was Shaquille really going to solve all his problems? They were strangers and had never helped before. Why would he help?"Thanks for your kindness, Mr. Shaquille. I'm looking forward to experiencing the real Debonaire. With my current status, I'm not worried at all."Shaquille was speechless with anger. He initially wanted to manipulate Adrian into feeling grateful, but the latter completely ignored him. He could only leave in frustration.Bucky immediately popped his head out and asked curiously,

Bucky lamented that he was not born with two extra legs so that he could run faster. Thankfully, he had managed to use Adrian as a shield. Otherwise, he would be dead by now. Touching the bruises on his neck, Bucky shivered in pain. When he tried to sneak into the yard, he ran into Adrian and quickly lowered his head. "Why are you only coming in now?” Adrian asked. Bucky replied, "I was chatting with Hendrick. He's a gossipy fellow and refused to let me go until he finished. Do you need me for something, sir?""No, I don’t need anything from you." Adrian fought back a smile. "But Hendrick does. He told me to tell you that he needs assistance. It's the time to harvest the herbs, and they need extra hands."Knowing that his lie had been exposed, Bucky slapped himself twice. As his cheeks burned, he said, "I didn’t mean to lie to you, sir. Can you forgive me?""Did you go after Shaquille?" Adrian asked.Seeing the bruises on Bucky’s neck, Adrian understood what had transpired. O

The next day, before he even opened his eyes, Adrian detected a pleasant fragrance. However, the fragrance was different from the one Rozi usually used."Is that you, Marissa?" he asked groggily."No, it’s Caroline," Caroline answered softly as she gazed at Adrian affectionately. Adrian leaped out of bed. When he saw Caroline, he shouted, "Baldy!""Yes, Mr. Adrian?" Bucky rushed in. He simply glanced at Caroline, then reported to Adrian, "Hendrick came by with a letter earlier. He said that there was a stranger in Riston Village and requested that we check it out."Caroline hung her head. She had dressed up today, but Adrian did not even glance at her. "I want to go with you," she said. "Let's go," Adrian said to Bucky, ignoring Caroline.Adrian had never met such a clingy girl before. He had made it clear to her that he was not interested, yet she still snuck into his room.Bucky was speechless. He had always dreamed of having a girl smile at him, yet Adrian treated Caroli

Before Shay could say anything, Bucky scolded, "Don't you dare spout nonsense! From what I know, you're the real killer!" Shay trembled as if his lies had been exposed. Frustrated and ashamed, he shouted, "I dare you to release me now! I'll show you the evidence to shut you all up!" "Okay, release him," Adrian ordered. However, Wilmer was reluctant to release Shay. After all, Shay was strong. It had taken all the men in their village to capture him. If they released him, he might wreak havoc on their village. "He's quite strong though," Wilmer said worriedly."What's going on here?" Lionel strolled out from a nearby house. When he saw Adrian, he curiously asked, "Why are you here?"Adrian was taken aback. "That should be my question. Aren't you researching the poison on those corpses? And where's Claude?""He has returned to Medicis Manor," Lionel said as he walked toward Shay. "When I got here, I met a sick elderly woman, so I stayed back to treat her."Shay became agitate

“Why do you get the guts?” Adrian said.He had never met someone so foolish. No wonder Shay was treated as a mere pawn.“I’m warning you. It wasn’t me who wanted your life. You should be thanking the people of Riston,” Adrian said.“Why?” Shay asked, regarding everyone in Riston as evil since they almost killed him.Adrian scoffed. “Without them, you would be dead by now. They unintentionally helped to suppress the drug inside you.”Lionel stared at Adrian. He was supposed to be a Battle Warrior who knew nothing about drugs. Even he himself had only heard about it, and it was his first time seeing it in action today. That was why he got nosy.“There’s no similar drug like this in Navia. How do you know about it?” Lionel asked.“It’s just a guess,” Adrian explained calmly, “I saw cracks on his skin before, but they’re all gone now. It shows that it was caused by an external blow.”Lionel slapped his head. He overestimated how smart he was. He saw the cracks too. He had not taken

“I want to know something.” Adrian’s tone became gentle. “What’s the relationship between the Wolf Fangs and Randell Manor?” “They’re using each other,” Shay said through his tears, “But I figured it out too late. The leader is a jerk for attempting to kill me after using me!”Lionel pursed his lips. “You deserve it.”Wilmer then untied Shay and said in disdain, “A b*stard like you doesn't deserve to stay in Riston. Get out of here, now.”Shay was sobbing so hard that he could barely speak. The fake Green Plum Grass was still at the Randell Manor, and he should be able to find it there.“I’m going to the Randell Manor,” Shay declared.“I’ll wait for you at Medicis Manor.” Adrian nodded.Confused, Bucky asked, “Sir, this guy must be a liar. I’m afraid he won’t return if he runs away. I’ll keep tabs on him.”“There’s no need.” Adrian knew there was no way for Shay to run. There was no way out of this.Shay cried when he heard this. He became a wanderer after this happened. Not
