The guard could not object. After all, Adrian had done him a great favor. He had just been promoted today because of Adrian's excellent command."Make it quick,” the guard whispered back."I will,” Adrian promised. Jim then regained his wits. The pair entered Debonaire City, boarded a carriage, and headed straight for Andre's house. As they approached their destination, Adrian noticed billowing smoke ahead. He was surprised. Leeroy's methods were simply ruthless. He had burned down Andre's house, clearly not wanting him to return. The carriage was forced to a stop as there were many onlookers ahead. It could not get past the crowd. When Adrian peeked out and saw the huge fire, he knew that the Green Plum Grass was gone. Fortunately, they had one. They could rely on it to slowly reproduce.Adrian then ordered the carriage to turn around. There was no need to stay here and watch. Jim grumbled, "Dr. Andre is really kind. Every time I went to him for help, he’d give me some pill
‘He refused?’ Matteo was a little dumbfounded. After Shaquille's death, many people wanted to cooperate with him. He looked down on everyone though and thought that they were not qualified.“I advise you to think this over carefully,” Matteo said.After a moment, Adrian said, "Okay, done. It’s still a no.” He looked at Matteo in disdain. Shaquille had been a hated foe, but at least he was only acting for personal gain. Matteo was different. He pursued power and status, and his methods were simply ruthless. If such a person continued to exist, it would spell trouble.Matteo narrowed his eyes. Adrian's straightforward rejection made him feel upset. "Since you can’t appreciate a good thing when offered, don't blame me for being rude.”"Do you plan to fight me?" Adrian was prepared. Unable to find a weapon at the moment, he grabbed the coachman’s whip. "Feel free to attack me."Matteo stepped aside, and two people brandishing swords jumped down from his carriage. Seeing that Adria
Adrian silently waved.The guard dared not continue to watch the scene. He simply smiled at Adrian and went away.When Matteo saw Adrian, he became terrified. "Stay away from me!""If my guess is correct…" Adrian grabbed him by the collar as he smiled coldly. "You’re the true mastermind behind the Wolf Fangs."“That’s utter nonsense!" Matteo was terrified, but he refused to admit it. "Shaquille’s the mastermind! I'm just a doctor!"Adrian shook his head. Although Shaquille was clever, he was just someone else's pawn. The Moon Tribe always looked down on him, and he was only worthy of being a lapdog."It's useless for you to shift the blame." Adrian pressed the tip of his sword against Matteo’s chest. The sword was his spoils of the fight with the two idiots earlier. "Don’t worry, I won't kill you."Matteo was overjoyed. As long as Adrian did not kill him, he could escape back into Debonaire City. Then, everything would be under his control, and he would make Adrian pay. He had t
The guard was stunned. Matteo was someone Leeroy trusted. If Leeroy saw Matteo in his state, he might get into trouble."What has he done?" the guard asked."Take a look." Adrian pointed at Matteo's chest. "He's the leader of the Wolf Fangs, and he wants to replace Mr. Leeroy. I believe Mr. Leeroy won't let him off easily."The guard was filled with excitement. What Adrian said must be true. Regardless of its authenticity, he needed to bring Matteo before Leeroy. Even if it cost him his job, it was a small price to pay."I'll go immediately," the guard said.Adrian left the city, heading to catch up with Andre and the others. When he reached Peach Blossom Forest, he saw a whole fleet of carriages.Adrian’s eyes nearly popped out. "What’s going on here, Dr. Andre?" he asked."This isn’t my fault." Andre waved frantically. "They insisted on following us. I tried my best to talk them out, but they wouldn’t listen!" He pointed to the people sticking their heads out of the carriages,
"That’s him!" Andre exclaimed, "You've drawn him so accurately. I even offered him a chicken thigh, but he refused sternly."Rozi embraced Adrian as excitement surged through her. She had finally found traces of her family. She turned to Andre and said, "My grandfather is vegetarian.""No wonder he glared at me," Andre said, "I should’ve invited him to my place. I'm sorry about that."Adrian asked calmly, "Do you know what happened to him later?""I heard that he went out of the city and disappeared without a trace," Andre said hesitantly."He went out of the city?" Adrian mumbled. Suddenly, he remembered Jim, who used to stay outside the city.Holding up the paper, he went to the back and asked, "Jim, have you seen this old man before? He's said to have wandered in your territory.""He looks familiar…" Jim said, "But whoever comes through doesn’t stay long. They usually vanish without a trace after a while."This was something Adrian had expected. Shaquille would never let the
"Hah." Andre scoffed. "Mr. Leeroy won’t employ Matteo after he has exposed his true colors. My medical skills are the best, so of course, Mr. Leeroy wants me to go back with him.""Oh, please, stop daydreaming. Your medical skills aren't the best," Lionel said. He then inserted some Blossom Needles into Marissa, and her complexion became better. "At most, you're just a rather skilled doctor,” he continued. Andre did not fight back. After all, he was nothing compared to Lionel when it came to medical skills. It was just that they were about the same age, so he felt a little bit embarrassed to become his apprentice. "Dr. Andre, come over and take a look," Adrian said as he noticed one of the pursuers behind them looked like Nico. "Is that your butler?""What the hell?!" Andre shouted when he saw that one of the pursuers was Nico's son. His face sank as he snorted. "I haven't settled the score with Nico for betraying me yet. Well, since he has come to me, it's time to settle the sco
"It wasn't us," Andre replied, "It was Mr. Leeroy. He's the mastermind. He even tried to kill me earlier. Fortunately, I managed to escape."He then urged the coachman to keep moving. He had no interest in Emerald Haven that Oregon talked about.However, Adrian stopped him. They would be fine if they went to Wasteland alone, but bringing so many ordinary people would undoubtedly cause trouble. It would be better to have them stay in Emerald Haven. Most importantly, Marissa was weak right now. She needed rest, and could not accompany them on the journey."Why not go to Emerald Haven? Mr. Leeroy shouldn't be pursuing us. After all, he's currently busy dealing with the aftermath of the Wolf Fangs.""I won’t go back to Debonaire City," Andre said resolutely, "The time I spent there has caused a decline in my medical skills.""It just shows that you're not that much of a skilled doctor. Stop blaming others," Lionel sneered. "Honestly, I'm quite interested in Emerald Haven. If there is
Suddenly, a person wearing animal fur and carrying a large bag appeared in the middle of the road. He waved at them, seemingly looking for a ride.Bucky asked, "Mr. Adrian, that guy looks pretty heavy. Will he crush our carriage if he gets on?""Calm down," Adrian said as he observed the man. Just like Bucky said, the man was tall and strong, but it seemed he had a leg injury. "Maybe he's just seeking medical help.""Go treat him then," Andre said, still jealous of the compliments Jim had given Adrian during the journey.Adrian felt annoyed. It was just a minor external wound that he treated himself. Moreover, he had the emergency pills Lionel had given him."Fine!""Fine, fine. I'll do it!" Andre said, "Consider it my kindness!”Rozi stifled a laugh. Both of them had been bickering all along, and every time, Adrian would be the one to emerge victoriously. "Remember to ask who he is and where he comes from,” she said. "That's not necessary," Andre said, "I have full faith in A
