Chapter 3041
"How dare you!" Sigmund shouted.Although many people knew him as a coward who only knew how to surrender, he did not have much choice in that situation since anyone who did not surrender was doomed. In order to survive, he had to surrender. However, it did not mean he lacked courage. Surrendering was a means of staying alive, and staying alive meant the chance for a better future.For someone willing to endure humiliation to survive, he would only yield to those who were stronger and had higher status than him. He would never take those ordinary people seriously, and Adrian happened to be someone he could bully in his eyes. After hearing Adrian's belittling words, he roared, "Since you've decided to accept my challenge, then you can't blame me for whatever happens next!" He then rushed toward Adrian with the saber in his hand."What a piece of trash!" Adrian said.Even though Adrian was using the Silverboan language, Sigmund understood him perfectly and was enraged. Just as

Adrian held the Divine Frost Slayer Blade in his hands as he asked the question, stunning Llyod greatly. He had not expected Adrian to be a Grandmaster—even 100 of him would not stand a chance against Adrian."I... I didn't mean it that way..." Llyod stammered.Adrian chuckled, intending to teach Llyod a lesson. He wanted to show him that even as governor's son, he was still just trash in this world.Just then, someone entered through the entrance of the banquet hall. It was a middle-aged man dressed in formal attire. Even though he had gray hair gracing his temples, his eyes were sharp—individuals like him were often more complex than they seemed."Who's bullying my son?" the man asked as he entered. A dozen young men in formal attire followed him, each carrying various gifts."Uh... Mr. Ivan, things aren't what you think. It's just a minor dispute between young people!" Herald said as he nervously walked up to him.Their relationship had been fairly amicable before, but Ivan ha

Herald knew he could not afford to miss a key opportunity for the prosperity of their family, even though he cherished his daughter."No! I don't agree! Have you even asked for my opinion?" Sherri shouted. She had not expected her birthday party to turn into this."Sherri, I understand you're still young, so I won't force you. But you and my son have known each other for over a decade now. You both should be very familiar with each other. You can trust him!" Ivan said firmly, "So, let's set the date for three years from now. Let's proceed with the engagement tonight!" Sherri blushed with anger.Just when she was about to speak, Llyod beat her to it. "Sherri, rest assured. I'll definitely treat you well.""Sherri, why don't you just be with Llyod? It's good for both your families and for you!" Hilary chimed in, looking amused.She knew Sherri was a rebellious girl at school, and that her rebellion was fueled by her desire to break free from her family's control. They wanted her t

"Then do you know who I am?" Adrian asked back, and Ivan's expression turned dark. Truth be told, he did not want to antagonize a Grandmaster. However, the Pintzers were important to him. Without them, it would be hard to secure his position in this chaotic era. Therefore, he had to ensure Llyod married Sherri.As a consequence, Adrian naturally became their enemy. It was a choice he had to make. What he did not anticipate was that Adrian seemed unaware of the consequences of provoking him.Ivan glared at Adrian. "You'll know the consequences of crossing me!"He would not dare to confront Adrian directly because he was a Grandmaster. The people around him were no match for Adrian. However, he could get even more formidable individuals to deal with Adrian. Since Rufus had become the mayor of Leafall, Ivan naturally had to maintain a good relationship with him. The two had been almost inseparable during this time. Being an outsider, Rufus hoped to solidify his position as the mayo

After sitting down next to Adrian, Sherri lowered her head and began to contemplate the events unfolding before her. She felt that tonight's events were far beyond her expectations.However, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, but neither Ivan nor Lloyd were the cause.Whether it was Lloyd, Ivan, or even her father, she had anticipated their actions. She had long sensed Lloyd's feelings for her, and the recent developments with his family seemed like pieces fitting into a puzzle. What unsettled her was Adrian.On the one hand, it was Adrian's sudden change in attitude toward her.Thinking about this, Sherri turned her head and glanced at Hilary. She frowned as she noticed a hint of schadenfreude on Hilary's face. However, she shook her head as she felt these were all trivial matters. Yet she could not shake the feeling that she had missed some important piece of information.On the other hand, it was Adrian's background. He was from Silverboa, and he arrived i

Ivan and Lloyd turned their heads to look at Adrian coldly as if saying to him that he was doomed."Greetings, Mr. Rufus!" As the host of the banquet, Herald greeted Rufus with Ivan. Rufus was not clad in armor today. Instead, he wore the traditional warrior attire of Obscura City. His aide, Ilyas, was walking next to him.Upon seeing Ivan, Rufus smiled. He had a good impression of Ivan. On the first day of his tenure, Ivan had sent him over a dozen crates of gold, silver, and jewels. Therefore, when he received the notification from Ivan, he promptly came.In addition to aiding Ivan, Rufus sought to assert his authority. His tenure as mayor was brief, and with Quintin's prolonged presence, he lacked the chance to assert himself. He aimed to demonstrate his leadership once Quintin departed.When a conflict emerged with his governor, Rufus perceived it as an ideal moment to establish dominance over the troublemaker."Hail the mayor!""Long live, Mr. Rufus!" Rufus smiled in sat

None of the people in the hall had noticed the expression changes on Ilya and Rufus's faces. "That young man is done for!" "Of course, Mr. Rufus is here already. Besides, that fellow is from Silverboa. Who gives him the right to act arrogantly here?" "Shh! Don't say such things in the future!"Adrian smiled as he quietly listened to the discussions around him. It seemed these people still did not grasp the severity of the situation yet. They did not grasp the true nature of war.When Silverboa assembled a massive force to seize control of Obscura's territory, it was not just about maintaining their citizenship in Obscura anymore."How could you offend him?!" Rufus roared and slapped Ivan's face.Ivan was sent flying like a ragdoll, crashing into several tables before landing on the ground.Ilya stood by and watched coldly.The rest of the people were shocked. They did not expect Rufus to slap Ivan's face.Meanwhile, Ivan remained on the ground and could not get up no matte

Many attended the party to entertain themselves, but now they realized that they were going to get implicated as well. No one was innocent during a war."Mr. Adrian, in my view, tonight's incident is just a misunderstanding," Ilyas said as Rufus had become too nervous to speak. "Really? And how is it a misunderstanding?" Adrian asked calmly. Ilyas was stumped because he had no idea what had happened tonight. When he saw Sherri by Adrian's side, as well as Lloyd on the other side, he instantly understood everything."Lloyd! Come here and explain to Mr. Adrian what exactly happened!" Ilyas suddenly turned around and pointed to Lloyd, who stood there silently.Lloyd did not hesitate and nervously walked over. He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Adrian, it was all a misunderstanding. My feelings for Sherri have completely dissipated now. You two can be together without any interference from me in the future!"Sherri glanced at Lloyd disdainfully, her certainty about him solidifying
