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

He never expected a cat to run in and tip over the bowl. That was how the seeds fell into the gap. He moved the table away to prevent the same thing from happening again.“Let's see here.” Adrian quickly took out the Herb Compendium that he had brought along with him. He was elated to find that the plant had a similar shape to the Green Plum Grass. “Is this the Green Plum Grass?” he asked. “That’s impossible,” Nico said decisively, “Green Plum Grass only sprouts in snow. My room is warm, so how would they grow?”Adrian did not care about that. All he needed was the leaf and stem. Since Nico denied that it was Green Plum Grass, he was free to take it. “Can you give me one?” he asked.“Of course,” Nico said without hesitation, “It’s poisonous though, so don’t touch it with your bare hands. I’ll get you some gloves.”Adrian was impatient. He plucked a plant from the window with the soil intact. He found two pieces of thin wood and lifted the Green Plum Grass softly. But before he co

“He’s over there.” The guard pointed at the turning. “Go look for yourself if you don’t believe me. We’re running a strict investigation, and we prohibit anyone from disguising themselves.”Curious, Adrian went to the turning and saw Shaquille on his horse. The latter’s expression was grim, and he said to Adrian through clenched teeth, “Happy now?”“Of course,” Adrian said with excitement, “You being captured is the thing I want to see most though. You’re only being chased out right now, so they’ve let you off easy.”Shaquille scoffed. “It’s too early to celebrate since there’s still two and a half months to go. If you can’t get into Debonaire City, you’ll have to obey me.”“That’s never going to happen,” Adrian said smilingly. Lionel told him that Rozi’s illness would be cured after another hour of the needle treatment and drinking the soup brewed from Green Plum Grass. “I never want to set foot in that stupid place.”“Have you forgotten about our bet?” Shaquille asked unhappily,
