Chapter 2931
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.
Chapter 2933
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

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

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

Adrian explained smilingly, "To join the Dragon Squad, you need to be at least a seventh-level Grandmaster. You also need to undergo training in the reserve."Alfie's expression darkened. Even Marc and Larissa felt some sympathy for the kid."By the time you join the Dragon Squad, this battle will probably have already ended..." Adrian continued.At this point, Alfie was already in despair."However, I can give you one year. If you become a seventh-level Grandmaster within that time, I will grant you special permission to join the Dragon Squad,” Adrian offered.“But the war will have ended by then." Alfie was disappointed. There would be no point in joining the Dragon Squad if he didn’t get to fight."It won't," Adrian replied as he smiled knowingly.Marc and Larissa glanced at each other. As Grandmasters, they could infer a lot of information from Adrian's simple words. And this information was something they had never encountered before. Since Adrian said the war wouldn't end,

Adrian nodded, and a minute later, the guard returned."Mr. Quintin invites you in."Adrian entered the tent alone. After more than a month, he finally saw Quintin. However, he couldn't help but sign upon seeing the latter. When he heard that Quintin hadn't been taking any audiences, he knew that the situation was bad. As the commander of the army, one could imagine the situation Quintin was in if he didn't want to see his subordinates.The vigorous and domineering middle-aged man was no more, replaced by an old man with a hunched figure and gray hair. The yellow robe he wore was now oversized. Sitting in his seat, he struggled to straighten himself up, his somewhat cloudy eyes scrutinizing Adrian carefully."You've been gone for over a month…" Quintin said in a deep voice. It was the voice of an old man, quite different from Quintin's original one. But Adrian knew that this was indeed Quintin. He was simply exhausted and was at the end of his life.Adrian bowed slightly and said,
