Chapter 2145
"You're right," Adrian replied, "But now’s not the time for sentimentality. We have to locate the explosives. It should be in the main hall."Johnny shook his head. He had searched the main hall extensively and had not found anything. Besides, the ground was fully granite. "But there's nothing there," he said. "Stand aside," Adrian said, knowing he could not rely on Johnny.Adrian lit the oil lamps in the main hall and looked upon a huge statue and some smaller ones. He found that the gold powder on them had been scraped off. They had reverted to their original muddy color and bore an aged appearance.Gritting his teeth, Johnny said, "How could that old geezer do this? It's outrageous!" "Find the explosives," Adrian growled in a displeased tone, "We're not out of danger yet. If you sense something wrong, run to me immediately. I'll get you out of here."Johnny was stunned. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected Adrian to be willing to take him away at such a time. He dropp

And he had thought of lighting the wick earlier. They were standing in the corner of the main hall, away from the reach of the light. A quick glance would not have revealed the details of the statue. To see anything clearly, one would have needed to light the wick."Quick! Help me!" Adrian said."Okay!"Johnny walked over and lifted the pedestal while Adrian removed the ropes from the top.Suddenly, a roar echoed, "You’re a fool, Johnny. You've passed me countless times, yet you didn't notice anything!" Johnny held the explosives tightly as he hung his head low. He was too familiar with these statues, so he had not examined them closely. "Why didn't you call out then?" he argued."I have explosives in my hands!" Dieter said angrily, "It might’ve exploded at any time!"Adrian stared at Johnny, then noticed the explosives he held seemed to be releasing a crackling sound. He had a bad feeling about it and snatched it away. He then rushed toward the edge of the cliff and threw it
Chapter 2147
Noticing he had not felt any pain, Dieter slowly opened his eyes. When he felt the solid ground beneath him, he could not believe he was still alive."Are we not in hell right now?" he murmured.Adrian snapped a twig of an elm tree and held it to Dieter’s nose. "Can you smell this?"Dieter took a big whiff and a fragrant scent filled his nostrils. He instantly realized he was not dead. "How did you do that?" he asked in amazement."It's all thanks to this." Adrian removed the Shadow Clay from his feet and handed it to Dieter. "It can take me anywhere, up in the sky or down below."Dieter quickly stored it in his pocket and said, "This treasure now belongs to me. You wouldn’t mind, right?""I'd love to give it to you," Adrian playfully said, "But the Shadow Clay only recognizes me as its owner. It won't answer to anyone else." With a slight gesture, the Shadow Clay returned to his hand.Dieter touched his empty pocket, feeling a bit dejected. "Why don't good things happen to me?"

This was shocking news, and Adrian regretted coming here. He had just saved Dieter, but he did have to kill him now?"Is this true?" Adrian questioned."Ask him!" Arwen said angrily, "My life goal is to kill him. And I just failed again.”Adrian was a little skeptical. Dieter was alone now, but given his status and power, it should not have been an issue for him to have had a few wives. "Sir Dieter, could you explain?""Arwen’s telling the truth," Dieter said, "Yes, I killed my wife. That was because she was using the Sol Pills to harm people, causing many families to be destroyed. I'd rather see Ivory Cloud perish than have my hands stained with blood.""Did you hear that? He admitted it!" Arwen said, "Is it wrong for me to avenge my mother?"Adrian felt a headache coming on as things got more complicated."I don’t mind it if you want to kill me." Dieter shook from fury. "I can give you my life, but everyone else is innocent. Why do you want to kill them too?""Someone must'

Dieter lowered his head and remained silent. Adrian did not press further. After all, he had no interest in being a mediator, and this father and son should resolve the issues between them on their own."Haha!" Arwen laughed. "It’s all horsesh*t!" Dieter was infuriated. He looked up at Arwen sharply and said, “It’s not horsesh*t! Everything I've done aligns with my conscience!”"I believe you," Adrian said solemnly. If Dieter were a cruel person, Sylvas would not have succeeded in his plan.Arwen's face sank. His only home was now destroyed. Despite wanting to befriend Adrian, he found him standing on Dieter's side. "Why do you trust him?" he asked.When Adrian was about to explain, Dieter decisively said, "I'll tell you the truth. I had another reason for killing your mother. She was carrying someone else's child. Caroline isn't my daughter."Arwen and Adrian fell silent, and the latter opened his mouth to speak a few times, but he could not utter a single word. He was not a co

"He's at the foot of the cliff," Adrian said, using one hand to block Caroline's attempt to hug him. "Is Arwen your brother?"Bucky thought Adrian was joking. When they met, she and Arwen had pretended not to know each other. Caroline even said she wanted to become Arwen's apprentice. "What? That's impossible." Rozi found it difficult to believe as well. She had always thought Caroline was a naive and romantic girl. Even if she did something out of the line, she had never confronted her about it.Everyone turned to look at Caroline who had tears in her eyes. She took a few deep breaths and said, "I…""You like Sir Dieter very much, don’t you?" Adrian asked, gently rubbing Caroline's head.Caroline sniffled and took out a piece of parchment from her arms. It was covered in densely written small characters, and she handed it to Adrian. "This is my mother's dying message,” she explained.Adrian read it and found it was more or less what he expected. Caroline's mother had betrayed D

“Unless what?" Dieter asked curiously."Yeah, tell us, Sir Adrian. Stop beating around the bush," Arwen chimed in. Ever since he found out Shaquille had manipulated him, he wanted to do something for Ivory Cloud.Adrian was a little annoyed. He was not used to having Arwen call him Sir Adrian. He awkwardly said, "Can't you just call me Adrian?""I wish I could," Arwen said as he glanced at Dieter. Since Adrian was Dieter's friend and Dieter was his father, he felt that calling Adrian just by his name would be inappropriate and disrespectful."Ahem! Out with it, Adrian," Dieter urged. Adrian nodded. Turning to Caroline, he said calmly, "Unless you're willing to help, Caroline."Everyone sighed in disappointment when they heard what Adrian said. After all, everyone present was more capable than Caroline. She was a troublemaker, and she always caused more harm than good. Morton spoke up, "I don't think Ms. Caroline can help us in this situation. If you're thinking of using her be

He got someone to inform Shaquille to take Caroline back, but Shaquille did not show up even after three days. In the end, Dieter took Caroline in and raised her as his own daughter."Shaquille has a heart of stone.” Dieter sneered."No, he doesn’t," Adrian refuted. The reason he said so was because Shaquille had not dealt the final blow to Arlo when he was on his last breath. Arlo managed to make it to Medicis Manor mainly because of Caroline. "I don't believe that Shaquille is heartless.""He isn’t worthy of being called a human!" Arwen interjected. When he had learned the truth, he went to confront Shaquille. He never expected Shaquille to look at him disdainfully and nearly kill him.Caroline lowered her head. Feeling her hatred toward Shaquille growing, she wished she could make him not her father. Every time she thought about him, she felt like a knife had been stabbed into her heart.Adrian approached Caroline and said, "The reason Arlo made it to Medicis Manor was because
