“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
Caroline was stunned. Dieter had always showered her with love. If she asked for the moon, he would find a way to get it for her. He never went against her wishes."Dad!" she cried.Dieter remained silent, his face stern. He clearly disagreed with this plan.Everyone was taken aback. Dieter was usually gentle and never lost his temper or showed displeasure. Arlo nudged Adrian. At this point, only the latter could persuade Dieter. Adrian said, "Sir Dieter, Caroline isn't going to recognize him as her father. She's just going to sow discord between him and Slyvas. It's all for Ivory Cloud.""That's right," Caroline chimed in, “I’d never acknowledge that heartless b*stard as my father. In this lifetime, I only have one father, and that's you." Arwen rolled his eyes. He was Dieter's biological son, and he felt that Dieter was being too dramatic. He was displeased, but he could not express it."You’re being stubborn, old man!" Arwen chided."Shut up!" Dieter shouted. Even though
Adrian rubbed her head and calmly said, "Just talk to him normally and state your purpose clearly. You don't have to try to be charming. Shaquille will find it repulsive."Caroline nodded. She then climbed a large rock and stood there with her arms crossed in front of her chest. The night breeze pulled at her clothes, and she trembled from the cold air.Arwen sighed. "I hope you're right about Shaquille. Otherwise, I'll hate myself even more."As soon as he had finished speaking, lights flickered in the sky. Arwen tensed up and leaned toward Adrian, whispering, "He's coming.”Caroline asked, "Who are you?""I am Shaquille," Shaquille answered coldly, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"Caroline’s trembling became even worse, and she involuntarily backed up. She wanted to keep her distance from Shaquille. "I’m here to save Ivory Cloud."Shaquille laughed. This daughter of his, who was always playing pranks, was finally showing a bit of intelligence. "Okay, I’ll
Shaquille rushed forward and snatched the dagger from Caroline's hand. He scolded loudly, "I've never met a lunatic like you!”"I've never seen a useless father like you either!" Although Caroline grimaced in pain, she was smiling as she looked toward where Adrian was hiding.Shaquille harrumphed coldly. He took out a bottle of medicinal powder to stop Caroline’s bleeding. "Did Dieter send you?""Of course not," Caroline said.Shaquille was stunned. If it was not Dieter, then who is it? Adrian? If it was him, he needed to seriously consider Caroline’s request."Then who sent you?" he asked."I’m not telling," Caroline said, "I want you to stop Sylvas from attacking Ivory Cloud. If you don't do as I said, I'll kill myself!" "Get lost!" Shaquille placed the medicinal powder in her hand. He then pointed in the direction Caroline had looked at earlier and said, "Arwen, Caroline is your sister. You only have one chance to use her. Next time, I won't give you the opportunity."With
Arwen then clapped his hands together in understanding, and he plunged from the sky. Luckily, Adrian reacted quickly and grabbed him.Arwen's face paled with fright. He did not have many items on him right now, and he would certainly fall to his death if Adrian had not caught him."You truly are my lucky star!" Arwen cried."Shut up!" Adrian said before looking at Caroline worriedly. He was certain that Dieter was going to be angry with them. "Keep everything that happened today a secret,” he warned.Just as he expected, when Dieter saw that Caroline was injured, he flew into a rage and chewed Arwen out. He did not even give Arwen a chance to explain anything. "Hey! Why am I the one being scolded? It's like I'm a dog you picked up on the streets. Have you ever considered my feelings? I don't want to stay here!” Arwen lamented.Adrian chuckled. Dieter had wanted to scold him too, but Caroline defended him by shifting all the blame to Arwen.Upon learning that Sylvas was retreati
"No, I haven't seen her," Adrian replied, feeling his heart sink.Marissa was not a reckless person. She would not leave their side unless something urgent had happened. Even if that were the case, she would surely leave them a message. Just when he turned to Bucky and was about to say something, Bucky said, "I saw Marissa leaving Ivory Cloud Atrium about fifteen minutes ago. She even gestured at me to follow her. But things were pretty dangerous at that time, so I didn't dare leave the entrance to go up the mountain."Rozi checked the atrium and found a message in the corner that read, [The Wolf Fangs have Green Plum Grass. I’m going to check it out. Don't worry about me.]"Why hasn't she come back yet?" Rozi and Marissa had a deep bond. Knowing that Marissa had gone alone, she was worried. She turned to look at Adrian. Adrian fell silent. Marissa had been too impulsive. Although the Wolf Fangs were formidable, they could not possibly have the Green Plum Grass. It was surely a
"Okay, okay. I'll take it," Adrian relented. He had to save Marissa and find the Green Plum Grass. He did not have time to stay in Ivory Cloud.After bidding everyone goodbye, he led Rozi and Bucky to Greenhurst City. They thought that no one would be out and about since it was the middle of the night. However, as they approached the city, the sounds of musical instruments and the lively clamor of people playing games reached their ears."Wow!" Bucky exclaimed, "Life is pretty good for those guys. It's already midnight, and they're still awake?""Pipe down, will you?" Adrian chided.They then spotted someone standing at the entrance of the town, his clothes fluttering in the wind. The person waited silently until Adrian and his group neared him.Looking at Adrian, Shaquille said casually, "I’ve been waiting for an hour. I didn't expect you to be so late. You're not worthy of being my opponent." "Where's Marissa?" Adrian questioned. Shaquille turned around, and numerous torches
