Chapter 3029
Adrian's words were like divine decrees. Mortals dared not disobey the words of the gods!Ultimately, they were doing this all for a paycheck. To risk one's life for such a meager salary was foolish. This was truly a case of the cost outweighing the benefits.After hearing Adrian's words, the few security guards looked at each other and chose to remain silent unanimously.After passing through the guard posts of a few unperceptive security guards, Adrian entered the Blazing Leaf Restaurant.Leafall could only be considered a small city. It was quite inferior compared to the cities in Silverboa City, let alone Adrian's hometown. Although the population was large, various facilities were far behind. Thus, in Adrian's eyes, this top hotel in Leafall seemed a bit too ordinary.Fortunately, Adrian was not the kind of person who sought pleasure. He came out today just to relax himself.Upon entering the somewhat luxurious hotel lobby, he saw many people. They were all decently dressed,

Although he couldn't change Sherri, he thought of another approach. That was to change Adrian!Adrian was either an ordinary person or a noble from out of town. The latter possibility was very small, and if Adrian was just an ordinary person, then things would be much simpler.This person seemed to be quite well-mannered. After walking up to Adrian, he smiled and asked, "Can I sit next to you?"Adrian was about to shake his head, but the man said, "I believe you won't mind."He then sat down on his own.Adrian felt a little helpless as he looked around, wondering if he should find another place to sit. But the other person had already spoken. "I heard you are Sherri's friend?" Adrian squinted and turned to face this seemingly strange fellow. Could it be that this person came for Sherri?Adrian smirked and thought it was a bit boring to just sit and wait for the banquet to end. Perhaps playing along with someone wouldn't hurt."Indeed, I am her friend," Adrian replied indiffere

Lloyd finally realized something. For a moment, a chill arose in his heart.From Silverboa City? He was so young, and there was a long sword at his waist. Could this guy be the legendary fiend of Silverboa City?After careful consideration, things didn’t match up. If Adrian was the fiend from Silverboa City, how could he be friends with Sherri? And how could he appear at such a banquet?According to legend, wouldn't that fiend from Silverboa City be a ruthless killer and exceedingly hostile toward people from Obscura City? He definitely wouldn't appear there!After thinking it through, he breathed a sigh of relief. The man in front of him named Adrian definitely couldn't be that fiend from Silverboa City!Adrian stared at Lloyd, observing his expression, and found that he hadn't realized his identity. He raised an eyebrow.He previously felt bored and was ready to reveal his identity to end this unnecessary rivalry, but this man was still clueless. Thus, he played along."You're

Adrian sneered at Lloyd. Whatever Adrian said was just nonsense. Adrian was simply dissatisfied with Lloyd's condescending attitude.If it weren't for Lloyd's sudden appearance and his unnecessary demands, Adrian would have definitely complied with his wishes and left Sherri's side. And indeed, he wouldn't even be friends with her. After all, Adrian would leave Leafall soon.But Lloyd's request ignited a rebellious spirit in Adrian. He wasn't the kind of person who would agree to something just because someone said it. If someone wanted Adrian to do something, they would have to show their sincere attitude!Adrian really didn't like Lloyd's attitude."I'm the governor's son, and you're just a commoner from Silverboa City. How dare you defy me!""Wrong! I'm from Silverboa City, and you're just the son of the governor of Obscura City!" Adrian mocked. "It doesn’t matter that you’re the governor's son. Even if you were the governor himself, you wouldn't have the qualifications to make

Lloyd turned around and looked at Sherri, who had completely ignored him. He looked embarrassed.He had always been prideful. Although he came from a good background, he had never bullied others because of his status. Moreover, due to his love for poetry, he had some understanding of the classical culture of Obscura City. He even considered himself a poet!People with such high self-regard often cared a lot about their reputation. Therefore, when they were ignored by others, their inner sense of shame was often stronger than that of others.But Sherri just treated him as her ordinary friend. The two families had some cooperative relations, and their relationship was usually quite good. But Sherri had no intention of taking it further. Naturally, she ignored Lloyd's feelings, which escalated the situation.Sherri approached Adrian and said excitedly, "Mr. Adrian, I thought you wouldn't come!"Adrian shook his head. Upon listening to her soft voice, combined with Sherri's cute face,

Unfortunately, there weren't many people in this world who understood Adrian's helplessness. Most of them just thought that Adrian was a stubborn man who couldn't appreciate romance!Hilary, who had been following Sherri all along, had a faint smile. Tonight, she had gathered her friends and companions just to witness the scene that was unfolding before her eyes. Seeing what was happening, she felt exceedingly satisfied!She secretly observed the others while keeping an eye on Adrian. She hoped that Adrian would say something more decisive to thoroughly upset Sherri. This way, Sherri would definitely be embarrassed at her birthday banquet. She would have no chance to compete with her in the futureThe culture of Obscura City was somewhat different from that of Silverboa City. They were deeply influenced by the previous dynasties of Silverboa City, although they had also been heavily influenced by the Flambeau Kingdom in recent years.But overall, the core of Obscura City's culture
Chapter 3035
Lloyd was a self-proclaimed poet and artistic youth, and he fancied Sherri. He grimaced when Sherri rebuked him and even started trembling."I didn't mean that—" Lloyd tried to explain, but Sherri was already angry because of what he said to Adrian. She didn't give Lloyd a chance to explain at all."Mr. Adrian is my invited guest. If I have any dissatisfaction, I'll deal with it myself. It's none of your business!" Sherri said coldly, showing no mercy.Lloyd felt confused by the situation unfolding before him. He hadn't anticipated Sherri, who had always been kind to him, speaking such words because of a man she had only known for a few days. A sense of hopelessness washed over him, his face paling.Hilary saw Lloyd's reaction to Sherri's words and muttered, "What a waste!" Sherri's pursuit of Adrian had not yet been fully revealed, which didn't fit Hilary's plan. Thus, she suddenly spoke up, "Sherri! Don't be too impulsive. There are so many people watching tonight. You shouldn'

"It's okay, let him talk. Men always have a strong desire to show off!" Even though they had lowered their voices, Adrian still clearly heard their conversation. He squinted. When he first saw Hilary, he felt that something was off. Because her attitude didn't seem like that of an ordinary best friend. After all, for her, he was a completely unfamiliar person.Yet she was still finding various ways to encourage Sherri to approach him. If she were really Sherri's best friend, why would she do such a thing? Could it be that her intention was to make him reject Sherri, thus making Sherri sad or humiliating her?He was very familiar with the culture of Obscura City. If he didn't understand his enemies, how could he defeat them?Thinking of this, he realized that tonight's events might develop into something more complicated. He then smiled coldly.Following Hilary's suggestion, Sherri sat next to Adrian. She maintained an elegant posture and softly asked, "Mr. Adrian, your sword seem
