Chapter 3145
The range of Adrian's Draco Force extended to over a kilometer and could cover a significant portion of Sandstone. According to his estimation, he should have detected Sid even if Sid was not on the route he was pursuing, but Adrian still failed to detect him in the end. Therefore, he chose to take a break from the search after a few minutes. He had to admit that Sid was a formidable opponent. Even in his current dire situation, he had managed to secure an escape route for himself.Just as Adrian was about to resume searching for Sid, he received a message from Quintin. According to his calculation, the forces of Obscura should have been thoroughly defeated by now. Considering the chaos in the center of Sandstone, the routed troops were likely advancing toward its interior. Therefore, Quintin should have entered the city by now to carry out the final cleanup."Hello?" Adrian answered the call.Quintin's voice came through. "Have you taken care of Sid?""He escaped. It seems like Si

Adrian walked over to a nearby chair and sat down.Megan towered before him. "Even with all its might, the Dark Moon couldn't achieve such a feat within a week," she commented."There's nothing that can't be done. Where there's a will, there's a way," Adrian replied. He did not consider his actions in the city over the past week to be particularly extraordinary."In theory, what you've done is indeed not impossible. It's just that only you would have the confidence to undertake such a task and successfully pull it off," Megan replied. She truly admired Adrian for his ability to exploit factional strife and his power to breach Sandstone's defenses within a week.Perhaps Ronan could accomplish this task. Maybe some members of the Dark Moon scattered throughout the city could do it better than Adrian. In fact, they had received Quintin's instructions even before Adrian did. However, they chose to give up because they believed they could not do it and did not dare to shoulder such a he

"Honestly, I'm impressed, Mr. Adrian. Your actions have left me in awe," the woman said.Adrian remained silent, unsure of what Megan and this woman wanted from him."I'm Libby Arman," the woman introduced herself while extending her hand toward Adrian.After shaking hands with her, Adrian asked, "What do you need me to do?""It's related to Mr. Sid," Libby said.Adrian was taken aback, and Libby continued, "As the Great Commander of Obscura, although he may not always make perfect battlefield judgments, just like how he couldn't predict your appearance in the city and the successful destruction of the city barriers, he can still make thorough preparations for what's to come."Adrian nodded. The underground passage was the best evidence. Sid must have begun constructing it long before the war started, and his mastery of the special disguise technique likely served as preparation for the possibility of defeat."Tomorrow night, the city lord will host a party," Libby said."You m
Chapter 3148
At this time yesterday, Sid still held the highest authority in Sandstone. The city's barriers remained intact, with nearly two hundred thousand Obscura troops stationed to guard them. It could be said that the city was as secure as a fortress.In Sid's original plan, Sandstone was to withstand Quintin's advances for a month while they inflicted significant losses on the latter’s forces. However, everything that happened today thwarted his plan. Due to Adrian's covert operations, Sid suffered a crushing defeat. He could not even hold out for a week, let alone a month.On top of that, Quintin captured Sandstone swiftly and there were almost no casualties involved. After all, Quintin had not launched a genuine attack for the past week. Sid inferred from Quintin's actions that he must have planted hidden forces within the city and conducted investigations using various means. Unfortunately, both the governor of Sandstone and the head of the police force were under Adrian's control. Ther

"Sir, we can't stay here any longer," a young man with a soft demeanor said anxiously to Sid.At this moment, Sid looked like a haggard elderly man. Originally, he looked energetic even though he was already in his sixties. However, at this moment, not only had his appearance changed, but his demeanor also showed signs of aging."Blaine, thank you for your service. You're dismissed now," Sid replied."But if I leave, who will handle your disguises?" Blaine asked worriedly."This mask can last for three days, which should suffice for me to finish what needs to be done," Sid replied."But isn't Mr. Carson already feigning surrender? He can handle those matters!" Blaine protested."You're wrong. Although you've been by my side for some time now, you haven't fully grasped human nature," Sid explained. "Carson's surrender isn't feigned. Given the opportunity, he will genuinely give in, and my departure presents him with the perfect chance.""How could that be...""Because that's the
Chapter 3150
Carson now held two identities. Previously, he had agreed with Sid that if they were defeated, he would quickly surrender and try to gain Quintin's trust. However, he needed to immediately contact the supporters of restoration within the city, rally all forces, and quickly strive to overthrow Silverboa's rule over Sandstone after surrendering. To outsiders, he appeared as a surrenderer. At times, he would even play the part convincingly and fully embraced this new identity. However, Cleo's arrival disrupted his plan."Mr. Cleo!" Carson approached Cleo and bowed respectfully.Sid, now disguised as Cleo, could not help but smirk. It was still early, and many of the invited guests had yet to arrive. He reached out and placed a hand on Carson's shoulder."Carson, make sure you perform well tonight. Don't disappoint me," Sid said, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery.In fact, Carson had two sets of plans in mind since he did not know if Sid would show up tonight. If Sid had not show

However, there was one strange thing about tonight’s party. Although many people from Sandstone had received invitations, the number of involved nobles was small. They were all prominent individuals who secretly harbored some opposition to Silverboa. However, their adeptness at concealing their sentiments allowed them to receive invitations. According to Sid's plan, these influential nobles would be the seeds of resistance for Sandstone to overthrow Silverboa. In fact, Carson had hinted at this to some of them, so they were excited upon their arrival. These resolute individuals had not given up on liberating Sandstone from Silverboa's clutches, and they knew that the rulers of Obscura had not given up on them either. Therefore, upon receiving the message, they hurried to the venue.Shortly after, the party began. There were only sixty attendees, making the party relatively small. Besides, these sixty individuals constituted only a tiny fraction of Sandstone’s entire noble class. This

"I'm sorry. It seems that not everyone present tonight is sincere," Libby replied. She maintained her gentle and delicate appearance, evoking a sense of pity in those who looked upon her.The man clearly felt the same way and said, "Ms. Libby, no matter what happens, I'll stay by your side and protect you." Hearing his words, Libby glanced at Adrian teasingly. However, she found that Adrian's attention was not on her. Instead, he was scanning the guests around him. The man noticed the change in Libby's gaze and took a closer look at Adrian. He also felt somewhat anxious due to the significance of this party. Therefore, he had not paid attention to Adrian earlier. Now, seeing Libby's gaze lingering on Adrian, his expression soured."May I ask who this gentleman is?" he asked."Oh, he's a distant cousin of mine," Libby explained."I see, so he's a relative. That explains it," the man replied. Initially, he found it strange when he noticed Adrian's obvious lack of interest in Libb
