Arlo, possessing keen eyes, immediately recognized the substance on Adrian's foot as Shadow Clay—a rare material that granted the user the ability to traverse both the skies and earth.Adrian was very fortunate to have come into contact with it. In his opinion, Adrian should keep it and never give it back. Arlo immediately intervened, "Wait, Arwen. Since Adrian has a connection with this thing, it should belong to him."Adrian eyed Arwen Bates. The man’s imposing appearance contrasted with his unrefined attire, and his pale complexion hinted at a life spent away from sunlight."Arlo, I don't want to keep it if it belongs to someone else,” Adrian said.He did not want to take advantage of others as he was well aware that there was no such thing as a free lunch.Upon spotting Arwen, Carson's expression changed as if he had seen a savior. Arwen, one of the top ten experts, was famed not only for his strength but also for his remarkable craftsmanship, capable of turning trash into e

"Sir, pleeeease?""Fine, take it," Adrian said flatly as if the object was an unremarkable piece of wood.Bucky was thrilled. Anything from Arwen was undoubtedly exceptional. He promptly stashed it away in his bag, intending to thoroughly study its purpose later.Arwen departed with Carson.Adrian glanced at the Shadow Clay beneath his feet. "What is this thing?""Adrian, Arwen’s no ordinary person. He's very clever and often crafts incredible things." Arlo sounded somewhat envious. "But it’s just a lump of clay!" Adrian exclaimed in frustration, "I can't make out its purpose, and it almost made me slip earlier."Swoosh! Swoosh!The Shadow Clay under his feet suddenly morphed into two wheels, lifting him off the ground and bringing him into the air."Stop! Let me down!" Adrian said in a slight panic.Everyone was incredibly envious. Who would not want to soar through the skies and traverse the earth? Adrian could freely ascend and descend, and it made for a magnificent sight

Pow! Pow!Furious, Arlo punched Winston. If it were not for Ophelia’s intervention, he would have beaten Winston to death."You fool!" Arlo was so infuriated that he trembled as he reprimanded his son indignantly. "Now that Kyril has escaped and Sir Dieter’s life is at stake, Sylvas might kill at any time! How could you not know that?!"Winston realized that he was in the wrong, so even though Arlo was reprimanding him so publicly, he did not budge. If he had not been so focused on the commotion earlier, Kyril would not have escaped.Adrian frowned. Violence would not solve the problem, and Kyril was undoubtedly crucial to this operation. They could not let him escape. Their surroundings were filled with thick bushes, and there was a ravine on the other side of the mountain, so finding him should be easy."How long have you been down here?" Adrian asked."Not more than three minutes,” Winston replied honestly, "His hands and feet are tied, so he shouldn’t have gotten far."Altho

Caroline muttered to herself, "Kyril really is something huh? He didn’t even say a word and just snuck away. This is too much. He’s usually just like me—not particularly skilled. His only option is to go underground, but he isn’t known for such methods."This statement gave everyone an idea. Kyril could not have escaped in such a short time. The news of his capture must have reached Carson, and the latter must have been trying to rescue him. The brawl earlier was just a diversion, providing Kyril with an opportunity to escape."Everyone, search the ground now,” Adrian ordered, "Check if there are any signs of loose soil, especially in areas with plenty of dried branches and leaves."As soon as Adrian finished speaking, Caroline pointed at the grass next to him and said, "This spot looks strange. How does grass grow on such a hard surface?"Everyone’s attention was instantly drawn to Caroline’s discovery. She had a point—the ground here was unusually solid with almost no vegetation.

Everyone was curious. Winston had no opportunity to communicate with the other party, so how could he have conveyed any message? Adrian did not ask further, indicating that he already knew what was going on.Bucky could not hold in his curiosity anymore. "Sir, please tell us what happened.”"Do you want to explain it or should I?" Adrian asked Kyril indifferently.The method Kyril had used was extremely unique, so he did not believe that Adrian could guess it. Therefore, he had no intention of revealing it. "You can have a go,” he said."Turn around, Winston," Adrian instructed gently, "Take a look at his back, guys. Do you notice anything?""It’s limestone powder!" Caroline exclaimed, "The carriage has been clean all this while, so where did it come from?"Winston’s heart sank. When he had been about to get out of the carriage earlier, he had checked Kyril’s ropes, fearing that they were not secure. They had been seated pretty close at that time, and that was when Kyril complain

Caroline glanced at Kyril. "There’s no need for us to be in such a hurry. We have a hostage, so they can’t do anything to my father."Bucky was at a loss, so he looked to Adrian for help as he was the only one who could deal with Caroline.Adrian chuckled. "I don’t have any money for accommodations. If you’re willing to pay, I might consider it."Caroline rolled his eyes in exasperation. She was also broke and was used to freeloading off of others. And now with so many people to take care of, she naturally did not want to do so."We’ll return to Ivory Cloud tonight," she said firmly.Everyone burst into laughter as the previous unpleasantness disappeared. Even Kyril joined in the laughter. But when Adrian turned to look at him, he instantly put on a stern expression, maintaining a cold and indifferent attitude.Adrian rode at the front, and the journey was uneventful. When the sky started to grow dark, they arrived at the foot of Ivory Cloud Mountain. Caroline cheered, and to the

Thud!As soon as Morton finished speaking, Caroline was the first to collapse as she ate the most buns. Despite feeling dizzy and disoriented, she only thought it was due to hunger. She never suspected Morton.Arlo struggled to stay upright. "What did you put in the food?""It shouldn’t be poisonous!" Bucky quickly supported Arlo and observed his pale lips. "My guess is that it’s a drug that knocks people out.""Very clever!" Morton said excitedly, "I showed you mercy, so please don’t blame me. My family is in Sylvas’ hands, so I have no choice.""You!" Arlo was too exasperated to speak. He looked at Adrian and said, "I should’ve trusted your judgment, Adrian. I’m totally powerless now. I’m entrusting Ivory Cloud to you.""You’ll be fine." Adrian took out a pill and popped it into Arlo’s mouth. It was an antidote Lionel had invented. "We need to get through this together."Morton was shocked. He quickly grabbed Caroline and threatened, "Stand back, or I’ll kill Caroline right no

"Not now," Adrian refused flatly, "She’s still our bargaining chip. We’ll wake her up once we’ve rescued Mr. Morton’s family."Morton was grateful. He was originally afraid of Adrian’s abilities and had not expected the latter to be willing to help. He immediately bowed to him."Mr. Adrian…" Morton said as tears streamed down his cheeks.” Johnny has sided with Sylvas, while Steven and I have been excluded. As for Dieter, he’s being held captive in the dungeon."Johnny was truly shameless to have abandoned his family. And Sylvas was merely using him. Jonny would surely face the same fate once Dieter died."Johnny’s a fool!" Adrian cursed, "Come on. Let’s hurry up the mountain."Anxious, Arlo dashed up the mountain while Morton watched in shock. The drug, known as Drunkards’ Poison, was very potent. Though Arlo had escaped its complete effects, it should still take a day for him to fully recover. Yet, here he was, lively and active."Are you sure you’re fine?" Morton asked."I’m f
