Seeing the scene before him, Adrian's eyes lit up. He realized that the old man was no ordinary person.The energy from the old man released condensed into faint threads in the air, weaving together to form a golden net that swiftly approached Autumn with remarkable speed.Before Autumn could go through the wall, she was enveloped by the golden net. With a thud, she fell to the ground and rolled on the corridor floor. Her resentment-filled eyes fixed on Adrian and the old man.Not as knowledgeable as Adrian, Larissa and the others could not discern what method the old man had used to capture Autumn. "Mr. Desmond! I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve," Larissa said in surprise.The old man chuckled and replied calmly, "Mrs. Larissa, this is our family's inherited secret technique. It shouldn't be used casually.” He then looked to Adrian and respectfully introduced himself, "Mr. Adrian, I'm Desmond Griffin. People around here call me Mr. Desmond."Adrian nodded sl

Due to his special ability, people would approach Desmon to handle such matters. It was also due to this unique ability that he usually had the upper hand against various ghosts and monsters. As a level eight Grandmaster with unique abilities, he often demonstrated strength far beyond others when facing these filthy creatures. However, this time, he found that the entity before him was far beyond his ability to contend with. Simply put, he was a one-trick pony. Once someone was able to counter his skill, he would become powerless. At that moment, Larissa and the others felt a surge of nervousness. Some regretted their impulsive decision to come along. While they acknowledged Adrian's remarkable identity, their primary goal was to advance their families' interests by aligning with Everett.

"You saved Lucy twice, and we haven't yet expressed our gratitude to you. Please come with me." Larissa led him toward the hall. The others' faces sank. Someone sneered and said, "Mrs. Larissa, since Mr. Adrian saved Ms. Lucy twice, why did you wait until the second time to express your gratitude? Is it a unique rule of the Wainwrights? Only those who save you twice are worthy of your thanks? Or perhaps, you only express gratitude based on their status? If it were an ordinary person who saved your daughter, you'd ignore them, but if it's Mr. Adrian, it's worth celebrating?"These remarks were cutting, and Larissa's expression turned grim. As for Adrian, he remained indifferent to their words.After a while, Larissa scoffed coldly and replied, "Although my family has encountered some difficulties, it's not for you to casually comment on. If you're dissatisfied, you're welcome to have a duel with me." In this world, might made right. After hearing this, the others fell silent as th

Howard was grateful to Adrian for saving Lucy the first time. If he were an ordinary person, Howard would probably reward him with something and send him away. However, Adrian not only saved Lucy twice but was also favored by Everett. He could tell from Larissa and Marc’s flattering attitudes that they were starting to waver regarding his and Lucy's marriage. As for Lucy, she showed no interest in him. Howard had planned to marry her to infiltrate the Wainwrights and then discard her after a couple of years. He had not expected Adrian to appear at this time and thwart his plan. Larissa remained silent, sensing the underlying meaning in Howard's words.Desmond quickly interjected. "Mr. Howard, Mr. Adrian may have been the one who brought the ghost onto the ship, but the ghost truly is difficult to deal with. I encountered the ghost earlier, so I understand. I suggest we dock first. Drifting aimlessly at sea is quite dangerous." Desmond was scared since his unique skill did not af

The atmosphere in the luxurious hall seemed to have iced over, but Howard did not seem to be affected. He knew things would turn out this way, but he had wanted to put Adrian in a difficult position.However, Adrian paid them no heed. He maintained an indifferent demeanor, leaving Howard feeling exasperated. That being said, Howard was brimming with confidence. In his eyes, this was his territory, and his family was currently enjoying great success. Even if Adrian was a favorite of Everett, his family had no need to fear Adrian or Everett.The crowd exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of how to respond to this unexpected turn of events.Larissa glanced at Adrian and noticed he was expressionless. She turned and signaled to Marc, who saw this and stepped forward."Ladies and gentlemen, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the ghost, since Mr. Adrian has saved my daughter twice, he is my family's benefactor. Therefore, we will stand by Mr. Adrian's side,” Marc announced.It w

The upper deck passengers were all worldly-wise individuals, but those from the middle and lower decks appeared more worried. Adrian stood isolated from the crowd after dismissing those who tried to curry favor with him due to his connection to Everett. Those people caught on to his personality and realized he had no interest in socializing. Disheartened, they left as they felt like they were wasting their time. However, the Wainwrights remained determined. They stayed with Adrian for at least two hours to figure out his relationship with Everett under the guise of gratitude. Adrian occasionally responded, but never told them anything of value.After two hours, the Wainwrights started to feel hopeless when they realized they could not glean anything about Everett from Adrian. However, they did not give up entirely. After all, they knew that Adrian's strength would undoubtedly grant him significant influence on Everett. As long as they could establish a good relationship with Adria
Chapter 2905
Sammy was stunned for a moment. "Out of line? What exactly counts as out of line?" Lucy shook her head. She raised her hand and patted Sammy's head. "Just don't tell my parents about what I discuss with that guy when we get back, understood?" "But—"Sammy wanted to say something, but Lucy interrupted, "If you tell them, I'll jump into the sea again! When that happens, you and I will both suffer!”Lucy walked straight to Adrian, leaving Sammy bewildered. Although Sammy did not want to agree, she had no choice. After all, she knew that Lucy would jump into the sea if she leaked her secret.The two of them arrived at the corner where Adrian was. Lucy walked up to him and said, "Your name is Adrian, right?" "Yeah. What do you want?" Adrian responded indifferently.Lucy felt a bit dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude, but she did not dare to show her temper since she needed his help. "You saved me twice, and I haven't expressed my gratitude to you yet," she said and sat do

Lucy felt crestfallen and scowled.Adrian continued, “You know some things, but it’s far from enough. Although I saved you twice, the first time was a coincidence. The second time was because of your parents' pleading, plus I did it in Everett’s name. I did him a favor, but you don’t have a close relationship with him. So tell me, why should I continue helping you? Do you think I’m a martyr or something?" He smiled, appearing somewhat indifferent and contemptuous.Lucy knew what he was getting at. She racked her brains to find anything about the Wainwrights that might help attract Adrian’s favor to them."I’ll give you everything I have if you help my family and save me from marrying Howard. My family, The Wainwrights, will provide you with whatever you want, and we have many means to get what we want," she offered.Although Lucy thought hard, upon deeper reflection, she realized she didn't actually know much about her family's affairs. She didn't even know where their problems lay
