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
"You should ask him if he's okay with me helping you or not," Andre said with a smile as he glanced at Adrian. "I follow his orders.""What?!" The addict loosened his grip and collapsed to the ground. He knew there was no hope for him if Andre would only listen to Adrian."You're lying!" he shouted."It's the truth. I won't do anything that goes against his wishes,” Andre said firmly.This was a pact Adrian and Andre had made before setting out. Adrian was worried about encountering Shaquille's men on the road. If he were to be harmed, Andre feared that Adrian would take action.The addict looked at Adrian and revealed, "The Wolf Fangs have issued a bounty on you. Anyone who manages to harm you will receive a Sol Pill."Adrian felt relieved. He realized that Shaquille had dug his own grave making such a move. No faction was going to back him up now."Oh, I’m shaking in my boots!" Adrian said mockingly.The addict did not pick up on this though, "You should. Everyone's lying low
“Amazing.” Bucky got very excited. He had been training hard lately, and of course, he improved significantly. He had been wanting to fight someone. “I’ll be leading. Nobody fights with me to be the first.”Adrian found this hilarious. Bucky was too arrogant. The people who were coming would only get more and more powerful. Nevertheless, with Andre’s protection, they could only sneak up on them.“We’ll leave it to you then!” Adrian said.Bucky was exuberant, and he got the job done quickly. He followed Adrian onto the carriage. With the sword in his hand, he was ready to fight.Adrian shut his eyes. He did not take this seriously at all. Those people would lose their battle strength as soon as they consumed the Sol Pills. The burst of energy they would have in the beginning aside, they would lose their strength right after that. Bucky could certainly handle them.However, Leeroy’s attitude was suspicious. He should know how the Wolf Fangs were. They could attack them by working wi
Andre looked at Adrian’s carriage and panicked. He and Matteo were close. Naturally, he worried about him and wanted to go to him right away.“What happened?” Andre asked.“The wheel is broken.” The coachman looked wronged. He had checked the carriage before departure. It was all good and sturdy then.Adrian said smilingly, “The scenery is beautiful here. We should take a rest. Let’s catch some game and put them on a bonfire. I’m sure you’ve never tried that.”“I can’t eat right now!” Andre was panicking. All of the carriages were full, and they could not even fit one more person. “I’ve given my promise. I can’t go back on my word.”“This was an accident.” Adrian smiled. “We’ll let the coachman take a look at it. It’s futile for us to panic, so let’s just enjoy life a little.”They sat in a circle.Marissa was pale, seemingly exhausted. Some color returned to her face when she saw the beautiful scenery before her. “It’s beautiful!” she said.Bucky caught some fish, started a fi
