“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
That man saw Adrian too. He was scared seeing the latter being able to rise to the air in a straight line. He attempted to run, never expecting Adrian to arrive right in front of him. His face was grim as if he was owed a big sum of money.Adrian ordered, “Tell me what Shaquille is plotting.”“I don’t know.” That man ran toward his horse in an attempt to leave.Whoosh!Adrian snatched the man’s sword from him and stabbed the horse’s abdomen. It fell to the ground without even making a sound.The man rolled off the horse, looking at Adrian in panic. His legs were shaking from the terror. He dared not hide the truth any longer, and he quickly said, “Mr. Shaquille plans to kill you and make you the Sol Pill scapegoat.”“That’s a pretty good idea!”Adrian had not expected Shaquille to do such a thing. Andre already knew about this matter though and would tell Leeroy. Could Shaquille shut Andre up?“Do you think he’ll succeed?” Adrian inquired.That man shrugged and revealed a prou
Whoosh! Whoosh!Shaquille thought Andre was weak and would not be able to do anything against him. But just as Shaquille pounced, Andre threw ten needles at him.“Haha!” Andre clapped and smiled brightly. “I managed to throw the Blossom Needles, Lionel!”Lionel peeked out and said in slight disdain, “Finally, some improvement.” He glanced at Shaquille. “Your underling is pretty good-looking.”“Stop joking around.” Andre ran toward Lionel and hid behind him. “I don't know that man. I thought he was with you.”Shaquille panicked. He had ten needles in his arms, and he could not move. He would be doomed when Adrian returned. He had to think of a way to escape.“Ahh, I can’t breathe!” Shaquille cried out.“Oh no!” Andre felt beaten. He thought he had mastered the essence of the technique. “Come look at him for me, Lionel.” He was worried that Shaquille would die and hastily removed the needle in the middle of Shaquille’s arm.Just when Andre was about to check Shaquille’s pupils, t
Adrian was relieved.It was a top priority that Andre remained healthy. He was the only one who could take him into Debonaire City.“Is there a shortcut we can take?” Adrian asked.“Into Debonaire City?” Andre stood up. He knew this area like the back of his hand. Rubbing his temples, he said, “There is, but it’s filled with potholes. I’m worried that Lionel won’t be able to handle it.”“Why not?” Lionel had been a wanderer for 20 years. Naturally, he had been through a lot of hardships. Such things were nothing to him. “Let’s take the shortcut to get to Debonaire City as quickly as possible.”Bucky grilled up more fish so that they would have enough food on the road. There would not be any markets on the shortcut.The group then departed. After traveling down the rocky road for some time, they spotted Debonaire City. Bucky seemed extra excited. “What a great idea, sir. We'll be entering the city soon, and Shaquille will be pissed. Haha!”However, he celebrated too early. When
“Hmph!” Shaquille scoffed. “So what if you avoided it? You won’t be able to get into the city anyway.”He quickly hid when he realized that the group was looking toward the top of the mountain. He did not want them to see him, nor did he want them to have any leverage over him.Andre was confused. “Where did the person go?”“He’s embarrassed to have done something horrible. Of course, he wouldn’t stand there to boast,” Lionel said while rolling his eyes at Andre.Adrian quickly changed the subject. “Let’s get on with our journey. We seem to be approaching the city. I’d like to take a warm shower as soon as we get in.”“Of course,” Andre said smilingly, “I’ve already informed my family, and they’ve arranged everything for us. Satisfaction is guaranteed, I promise.”Everyone grew excited. With their spirits lifted, it took them five minutes to go through the ten-minute route. Among them, Bucky was the most excited. He kept stomping his feet, worried that there might be mud stuck on
Adrian was enraged. Since Shaquille showed no mercy, he would not show any as well. He stopped Shaquille’s horse. “Why can he go in as he wishes?”“He’s of the Moon Tribe,” the guard said coldly, “People like him are welcome.”Shaquille laughed happily. He lifted the horsewhip and said rudely to Adrian, “Step aside, peasant.”Adrian stepped aside and tore the hem of Shaquille’s pants, instantly revealing the latter’s tanned skin. He scoffed and said, “But he’s from the Sun Tribe.”“I…” The guard was at a loss. They knew Shaquille, but they did not know that the generous man was of the Sun Tribe.Shaquille was furious from the embarrassment. He had not expected Adrian to do this. Fortunately, his men had not come with him. He would be humiliated if people found out.“I’m sick!” Shaquille rushed into the city.Matteo’s carriage followed behind him and Matteo said before heading inside, “I can prove that he’s sick. Also, he’s the one who got me all of these herbs. It makes sense
Andre had a smug look. He said smilingly when he saw how panicky Adrian was, “It’s over there. I planted them in those pots over there. I got someone to take care of them.”“But there’s nothing there.” Adrian had spotted the two pots earlier, but there were no signs of growth in them.Andre ran to the pots and was taken back to see them empty. He shouted, “Where’s my Green Plum Grass, Nico?!”“Mr. Leeroy took them,” Nico Glint, Andre’s butler, reported, “There was nothing I could do to stop him.”Andre was furious. Such a serious thing in the mere month he had been away, yet Nico had not told him about it. “I pay you, so why did you take orders from someone else?!” he thundered.Nico looked down at the ground, not daring to speak. He looked pitiful.Adrian was panicking. It was useless to scold Nico now since Leeroy had taken the Green Plum Grass. He was afraid getting it back would be a hopeless attempt.“It’s useless to scold Nico,” Adrian said calmly, “Don’t you have the Gree
