Chapter 2650
Even with Adrian's extensive experience, he furrowed his brow slightly. The old man gave a melancholic smile but did not say much.The big man asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Augustus? This matter has nothing to do with you."Augustus shook his head. "You're wrong, Rupert. This matter is related to me. I have long anticipated the day when the wrongdoings of our king would be brought to light." His emotions spilled over. He trembled and slammed the ground with his cane several times.The others started buzzing with discussions. After all, exposing their king’s crimes was equivalent to negating everything about Silver Peak Island. However, Augustus’ status was evidently high, and although people discussed the matter in hushed tones, they did not dare to step forward and refute him. Instead, they were curious, wanting to understand what exactly was happening.Augustus perceived the confusion among the people and sighed. "Rupert, haven't you always wanted to know what happened to half of

Looking at the crowd, Adrian said, "Now that you understand the situation, you should also understand what needs to be done next."Rupert and the others raised their heads. When they looked at Adrian, the hostility they previously harbored had vanished. Instead, a complex mixture of emotions took its place."Tell us what to do. As long as it's within our abilities, we won't disobey," Rupert said resolutely, and the others chimed in agreement.In a matter of minutes, over ten people expressed their willingness to follow Adrian and eliminate the enemy together. However, Adrian shook his head."I can't do that. If I let you go, it's like asking you to commit suicide,” he said, unwilling to let these ordinary people face such danger.Hearing this, Rupert said, "What's the matter? Do you think I'm incapable? I'll have you know that I'm quite strong."Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Okay, punch me then. If you can make me move back even one step, I'll take you with me." He then folded his a

Rupert’s punch landed squarely on Adrian, and a powerful shockwave swept through the area. Everyone took a step back. After a long time, the dust settled. Everyone looked toward the center. Adrian still stood there like a monument. Rupert, on the other hand, maintained his punching stance. Rupert's mouth twitched, and he muttered, "This... This..."Even if he refused to admit it, Rupert had to concede at this point. Adrian's strength indeed far exceeded his understanding. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make Adrian budge."You're strong," Rupert said.Adrian replied, "The beasts outside are also quite powerful. If you can't even injure me, going out there would be like committing suicide, wouldn't it?""But…""I understand your intentions, but staying here is safer for now," Adrian said as he surveyed the surroundings. The people around him displayed a myriad of complex expressions. Then, he took out some spirit crystals from his pocket and handed them to the crowd."

Adrian found a place to sit down and said, "Discuss this among yourselves and let me know when you're ready."Augustus sighed deeply. "The current situation is indeed quite troublesome. It's useless if you can only take him to the mountain base. The true core lies deep within, and you two are completely unaware of what lies inside the heart of the mountain.""If that's the case, then I'll trouble you to accompany me, Mr. Augustus," Adrian said.Augustus nodded.The reason Adrian decided to bring Augustus along was because he could see the thirst for revenge in the old man’s eyes. Augustus had been longing for revenge all this time. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, he had not been able to succeed in avenging himself. Given this opportunity, he certainly could not let it slip away easily."Everyone, rest assured. With my abilities, protecting Mr. Augustus is not a problem," Adrian said, "After everything is settled, I'll bring him back intact."Rupert was still worried about

Adrian felt that he might have touched upon a sensitive topic. He quickly explained, "Please don't misunderstand. I’m just asking. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to."Though surprised, Augustus quickly regained his composure. He sighed and said, "If it will bring us a better life, I wouldn't mind Silverboa managing Silver Peak Island. The war has only brought disasters to this place."Adrian asked such a question to understand how the commoners of Silver Peak Island viewed this war, and their perspectives were quite interesting. Rupert, who was initially hostile, had a significant change of heart after learning about his ruler’s actions. As for Augustus, he had opposed the war from the beginning.After chatting for a while, they entered the sacred mountain. Ahead was a wide mountain road, and Adrian was about to walk toward it when Augustus stopped him. "Don't go that way. It leads to death."Adrian asked, "Why? Is there danger on this road?""Yes, it may seem like a

Augustus continued to lead Adrain forward as if nothing happened. After going some ways, Adrian finally could not hold back."Where are you taking me, Mr. Augustus? Even if we're taking a smaller path, we should at least be heading in the direction of the sacred mountain. We're going in the opposite direction. What's going on?" he asked.Augustus was stunned. He froze in place and stared blankly as if turned to stone. Adrian remained silent as he observed Augustus' reaction. They locked eyes for a moment, and silence seemed to fill the air. Adrian's intuition was telling him that this seemingly serene path was not as peaceful as it appeared.Rrrraaaggggh! Suddenly, a roar shattered the silence. Debris and dust filled the air, accompanied by a massive shadow.Adrian lightly stomped the ground and floated into the air. "You've finally shown your true colors." He scoffed.Augustus smirked wickedly as a colossal shadow coiled around him. Adrian saw that it was an enormous snake. The

Attacks were launched one after another. The giant snake couldn’t cope with such relentless attacks. Before long, it let out a piercing and miserable scream and turned into ashes.To unleash such a powerful force showed how terrifying Adrian was. After the giant snake completely turned to ashes, only its beast core slowly floated in mid-air."Even mosquitoes have flesh. That snake’s strength wasn’t too shabby." Adrian saw the core, and without any hesitation, devoured it.After all, the giant snake was an extremely rare Variant with quite formidable strength. Devouring its core would still be quite helpful for Adrian. However, Adrian did not absorb it right now. Compared to trivial matters, he had more important things to do.He descended to the ground, then with a cold smile, he said to the surroundings, "Mr. Augustus, why did you lure me here? It's time to give me an answer!” His voice was cold as if it came from the depths of Hell.Carrying an unparalleled sense of dominance, A

But despite his shock, Adrian coldly countered, "So what? I was already strong to begin with. It's you who relies on such despicable means to become stronger. Do you really think you're amazing? Even if twice as many people came, you still wouldn't be able to do anything to me."These words struck at the depths of Augustus' heart, and he became instantly embarrassed. It was evident that he disliked what Adrian had said.Augustus glared fiercely at Adrian and gritted his teeth, saying, "You all looked down on me. From now on, I will make you see. I will make all of you submit to me!"He was furious, and his eyes showed an unusually fierce look. After a pause, he continued, "And I'll start with you. You’re strong. If I can absorb your power and use it to deal with the king and his men, all of Silver Peak Island will be under my control."Hearing this, Adrian finally understood why this man was so angry. Augustus was not highly looked upon in the past because he was weak. Even in the
