Bucky was in a panic. Francisco Perez was the head of Moonlit, a formidable figure, even surpassing Leeroy, the leader of the powerful Debonaire Syndicate. However, Francisco was known for his fiery temper and straightforward personality, making him less favored and renowned than Leeroy."Let's get out of here, sir!" Bucky quickly suggested. "We can deny whatever they hurl at us as long as they don't catch us.""That won't do anything to help us. If I leave, the charges will stick, and I'll end up having to hide wherever I go in Debonaire. I don't want that kind of life."Adrian could not care less about what others speculated of him, but he needed to get to Debonaire City.Bucky was rendered speechless. They would be at greater risk if they chose to stay. He made up his mind that he was going to take the fall for Adrian if the situation became dire."You can pin the blame on me, sir,” he said."No one will believe that." Adrian gave Bucky a stern look. "I trust that neither of
Francisco looked to Adrian, hoping for an explanation. Adrian chuckled and said, "It's only natural for one to feel angry after realizing they have a treacherous apprentice. He tried to eradicate the menace before he died.”"That’s impossible!" A hurried and breathless voice interrupted. The speaker seemed exhausted, slapping his chest as if trying to catch his breath. "Hennessy was the most outstanding apprentice at Westia!"Adrian glanced at the newcomer. It was the leader of Westia, Gavin Pape. He was a tall and burly man with a fully-grown beard. Moreover, he looked like a hot-tempered man. "What was he outstanding at? Running his mouth maybe?" Adrian mocked. Hennessy's skills were mediocre at best, proven by the fact that he would not have resorted to underhanded tactics if he was indeed skilled. Gavin blushed. Hennessy was good with words, pleasing everyone in Westia with his high EQ."You murderer!" Gavin drew a spiked knife. "You killed the number one apprentice of o
Everyone was instantly stunned, and their gazes involuntarily turned to Adrian's waist. Sure enough, they saw a copper emblem there. At that moment, nobody dared to make a reckless move anymore.Gavin felt guilty. He did not dare to confront Ivory Cloud and only wished to restore his faction’s dignity. They had just lost a formidable figure, and their past glory was now unattainable. He resented Hennessy as it was he who ruined Westia.Even so, he looked at Francisco and said, "Do you believe him? I think he's a liar.""I don't believe it in the slightest." Francisco looked at Adrian. "You couldn't have defeated the strongest person in Westia bare-handed no matter how powerful you are."Adrian smiled faintly. "Your speculation is correct, Sir Francisco. The Purple Scimitar is indeed mine. Igor Gretzky gave me that weapon."Francisco was speechless.Gavin felt faint, saying to Francisco, "Don't be fooled. I just came from the marketplace and saw that two elders were killed there.
Sonny was the first to react to the situation. Seeing the ruthless look on Adrian's face, he realized how serious Adrian was and switched to sweet-talking."I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, my friend. We were planning to kill him, and you've done us a huge favor. We’re in your debt,” Sonny said.Adrian threw aside Gavin’s spear and glanced at Francisco, who was gripping his weapon tightly. He knew that Francisco was unhappy with what happened and still wished to fight him. "Sir, I thought you were a wise person. I'm surprised to see how huge of a fool you actually are. You willingly became Shaquille's lackey, and you'll never be able to amount to anything in this life,” Adrian commented.Francisco was extremely surprised. He was indeed in cahoots with Shaquille. After all, Shaquille had tremendous influence and had many people serving under him. Apart from the Debonaire Syndicate, no one dared to confront the Wolf Fangs."How did you know?" Francisco asked.Adrian calmly said
Adrian was watching Marissa who was tied to a pillar. She was struggling against her bindings, and her face was distorted as if in great pain.Rozi looked greatly saddened, and wrinkles had appeared on her smooth face. "What do we do, Adrian?" she asked.On their journey back earlier, Marissa had experienced several seizures. Rozi then transferred her vitality to Marissa, causing her own appearance to age rapidly.Adrian rubbed his temples and said, "She has to just endure this for now. You should go. I'll handle this. Don’t worry, I won't let her die.""You're right." Lionel approached. "As long as she gets through today, I can use my silver needles to treat her. But for now, she has to endure it."Marissa gritted her teeth. She had not expected the Sol Pills to be so addictive. She itched terribly, feeling as if she were being bitten by ants, accompanied by occasional bouts of pain.Seeing Adrian's encouraging gaze though, she felt somewhat reassured. She was also determined to
"Green Plum Grass is extremely rare," Andre said as he frowned. "Ordinary people rarely use it, and many believe it to be a miraculous medicine. Only its seeds can be used as a medicinal ingredient; the stem and leaves are highly toxic."Adrian felt conflicted. If only the seeds were effective, this left little opportunity for people like them, especially since he had no relationship with Leeroy."I need it badly though,” Adrian lamented."Claude mentioned it to me." Andre accepted a glass that Claude handed to me, calmly stating, "I've already examined Ms. Rozi and determined that Green Plum Grass will have no effect on her condition."Adrian looked out the window, but Lionel was nowhere to be seen. He wondered where the latter had gone. Despite knowing he had urgent matters, Lionel deliberately avoided showing up. This proved quite frustrating.Claude nudged Adrian and whispered, "Mr. Lionel just argued with Andre and they almost came down to fists."Andre, having sharp ears, s
Andre's words frightened Claude. Although Axel was dead, he had been his mentor. If things were investigated, he would undoubtedly be implicated. He started to panic. But looking at Adrian and seeing his calm expression, Claude breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Andre could not stay here forever and would leave soon.Unexpectedly, Adrian said, "Medicis Manor is the distributor. Before you arrived, we already eradicated the root cause of the pills."Claude almost fainted. Andre had just discussed a partnership with Adrian. In the future, Medicis Manor would supply medicinal ingredients to Debonaire City, a substantial business deal that could elevate Medicis Manor's status. But everything was now ruined."I know." Andre continued studying the Herb Compendium. "Claude lacks experience, but now that he’s in charge, I believe such a thing won't happen again."Claude nodded. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling grateful. Adrian had shown complete wisdom and managed to gain A
Halfway through, Andre found a chance and whispered, "Why did you bring him along, Adrian? He's an arrogant man who thinks he's all that. It's only a matter of time before he lands us in trouble.""He's actually a pretty nice guy who always treats patients for free. It's rare to find friendly and kind doctors just like yourself these days." Andre was flattered to hear this and thought that Adrian was a decent guy who took good care of everyone he crossed paths with. Moreover, Adrian kept everyone's hopes up, causing everyone to like him.However, Andre was still worried about the Blossom Needles. "Are you sure this is okay? He looks like he's high on Sol Pills, and his addiction is acting up. Just look at how distorted his face looks,” he commented.Adrian smiled. "You're both extremely skilled physicians, so you two could stand to benefit from learning from each other.""Fine. I just hate his face, that’s all." Andre felt secretly elated. "I hate your face too. If it weren’t f
