Chapter 2929
Adrian gazed at the small cauldron in his hand, his satisfaction evident. Despite taking a bit longer, the peculiar little cauldron known as the “Spectral Snare” had proven to be remarkable.Once enveloped by the Spectral Snare, Autumn could not resist. In just ten minutes, her soul was completely crushed and imprisoned within the cauldron. Adrian likened it to a millstone, watching as the ghost's soul was slowly crushed within the Spectral Snare's aura until finally being confined within it.Adrian felt compelled to dedicate time to researching it and the other bronze treasures upon his return. He believed these thirteen items were more formidable than any treasures he had encountered in the dragon realm. Apart from the Lunar Edge and the Dragon Dial with their specific functions, most items in the dragon realm were useless to him. However, the Spectral Snare was different. He was certain it had more uses beyond suppressing the supernatural.After stowing away the cauldron, Adrian

Adrian stood there stunned at the chaos that reigned on the lower deck.A throng of people clustered at the entrance to the boiler room, pushing forward as though vying for something precious. Some hurled curses, while others wailed in despair. It all appeared utterly mad.Adrian furrowed his brows, surveying the crowd. Many faces were unfamiliar, yet amid them, he recognized a few. The Wainwrights stood on the fringes, silently observing the tumult unfolding before them.Sammy spotted the Wainwrights and dashed toward them without a second thought. "Madam! Miss!" she cried out.Lucy spotted her maid returning at last and breathed a sigh of relief. Larissa and Marc watched Sammy attentively. Upon verifying she showed no signs of being possessed any longer, they too sighed in relief."Are you okay?" Lucy enveloped Sammy in an embrace, assuming the role of a protective elder sister."He saved me." Sammy gestured toward Adrian.Larissa and Marc exchanged glances, then nodded slight

After half a minute, the scene finally calmed. Upon catching sight of Adrian, the crowd’s attitude underwent a complete transformation. The madness and confusion that had gripped them vanished entirely, replaced by gazes of gratitude and reverence as if he were their savior.Adrian could only shake his head helplessly in response. With the commotion subdued, he finally had the opportunity to approach the window and gaze outside. Twenty boats were drifting out on the sea, steadily moving farther away from the Titan cruise ship."Fetch the captain!" Adrian barked.With the ship plunged into chaos, he paid little heed to the whereabouts of those around him. Some from the lower deck had fled to the upper deck, while others attempted to pilfer belongings amid the turmoil. Despite crew members' efforts to intervene, their actions lacked coordination without Adrian's directive. Several crew members converged around him, now regarding him as their de facto leader.Upon hearing his command,

Adrian appeared behind the Wainwright couple. Larissa swiftly turned to face him, while Marc also directed his attention toward Adrian."What's the matter? Any objections?" Adrian inquired.Marc wore a wry smile as he cautiously said, "Nearly all of the one hundred individuals who fled hold positions in the upper echelons of the empire, or at the very least, they have connections with prominent noble families...""So what?" Adrian waved his hand. "So what?" Adrian waved dismissively.Lucy and Sammy approached, both casting curious glances at Adrian. Larissa signaled to Marc, silently encouraging him to speak. However, Marc found himself momentarily speechless. Adrian stood apart from anyone they had encountered before. Unpersuadable and resolute in his methods, he posed a unique challenge. Marc hadn't encountered someone quite like him before and feared saying the wrong thing, potentially jeopardizing this hard-won opportunity.Adrian regarded the Wainwrights with a faint smile.

The five began discussing their plans upon docking. Some advocated sneaking into the military camp before contacting Alfie's cousin while others proposed reaching out to the cousin first, followed by a visit to the camp.With both sides staunchly defending their positions, Adrian offered a piece of advice: upon docking, they should temporarily follow his lead. Logically, he needed to prioritize visiting the military camp to locate Quintin, so he could take these five along with him."As expected of the almighty Mr. Adrian!"Alfie’s group had initially been skeptical of Adrian's military credentials. But now, they harbored no doubts whatsoever. His decisive handling of the ghost, which had left everyone onboard helpless, solidified their belief that he held significant authority within the border army. Moreover, witnessing the Wainwrights being so humble before Adrian further cemented their conviction. They had witnessed firsthand how the entire family had pleaded with him for a favo
Chapter 2934
Anthony was gripped by panic, fearing that with his severe injuries, he might lack the strength to stay afloat if he fell into the water. While the capsizing of the small boat might have been a minor inconvenience for others, he was already weakened, and it could spell disaster.Beside him, Howard urged frantically, leaving Anthony with no choice but to row desperately, attempting to distance themselves from the looming Titan. However, how could human strength compete with the power of a machine?In just a few minutes, they too found themselves capsized by the colossal vessel.As Howard plunged into the water, he seized Anthony, and together they battled against the currents. For a harrowing half-hour, they struggled fruitlessly to right the small boat. Despite being among the first to flee the ship, their boat ended up being the last to succumb to the Titan's might. With no training in such matters, Howard and the others fought tirelessly to stay afloat.But they couldn't overturn

As Adrian left the ship, the Wainwrights and Sammy, Alfie’s group, and Brutus’ group followed behind him. After achieving their goal of reaching Obscura, Brutus’ group bid farewell to Adrian. They planned to use the hundred million he had given them to have some fun in Obscura. As for Alfie’s group and the Wainwrights, they had their reasons for continuing to follow Adrian.After seeing Adrian and the others disembark, Carey shouted at the crew members, "Hurry up and turn back to rescue those people!"The crew members sighed, but they knew that this was now their only chance for redemption. They quickly turned the ship around, fearing that someone might have died hundreds of kilometers away at sea.Regardless of the situation on the Titan behind him, Adrian entered the city."Mr. Adrian, are we going to the military camp right now?" Alfie asked excitedly, envisioning himself joining the border army and making achievements.Marc frowned slightly. He wanted to settle down first befo
Chapter 2936
Adrian was about to lead the few people beside him down another path but they noticed that the Octo Chariots were already speeding toward them. The thirty black Octo Chariots, all specially modified armored vehicles, looked fierce as they drove on the streets. Adrian was confused, but when he saw the first person getting out of one of the vehicles, he suddenly realized something.Leading the way was Talan Franke, the deputy captain of the Dragon Squad. Beside him was Roy Nunez, one of the heroes who had fought alongside Adrian and helped capture Sandstone and Leafall.After more than two hundred people got out of the chariot, they all looked at Adrian and saluted."Greetings from all two hundred and sixty-eight members of the Dragon Squad!” they thundered.Their appearance had caused a commotion on the quiet street. When they lined up in front of Adrian and saluted, the scene became even more chaotic.A man across the street saw these more than two hundred people, he looked stunne
