Chapter 3153
Just as Adrian expected, the nobles were testing each other. It was not until Adrian disclosed the party's theme that they realized they had been invited by the city lord as individuals with aspirations to liberate Sandstone. Although they did not dare to completely let their guard down, they had at least slightly lowered their defenses.Adrian walked into the banquet hall with Libby and took a seat on one of the chairs. Each of them held a glass of wine as they observed the attendees."Mr. Cleo? What's he doing here?" Libby asked. She was very familiar with Cleo because he had frequent dealings with Libby in business. In her view, Cleo seemed like a spineless person, and he had even mentioned several times before that he would surrender if war were to break out and Obscura were to fall. Therefore, she was surprised to see him here.However, after exchanging greetings with Cleo, Libby frowned. She sensed that something was amiss."Why are you..." Sid was a bit panicked when he saw
Chapter 3154
Sid had gained some understanding of Cleo before assuming the latter’s identity. He was certain that Libby was aware of the original Cleo's intention to surrender, so it was indeed strange for him to appear in such a place. In an instant, Sid's mind raced with countless thoughts. After making up his mind, he decided to take a gamble. The situation was already dangerously precarious, and he felt compelled to take the risk."That’s impossible! You clearly told me that you would surrender too! And this man beside you, judging from his features, he's from Silverboa, right?" Sid tried to make the best decision under those extremely dangerous circumstances."What are you talking about? Aren't you the same?" Libby replied, pretending to panic. Then, she stated her stand emphatically and turned the tables against Sid.Sid furrowed his brows, but on the inside, he was relieved. It seemed to him that he had made the right bet. Libby had indeed expressed her intention to surrender before Cle

Lucky for him, others started to approach, and they were confused seeing Cleo in a hurry to leave."Ms. Libby, what's going on? Is there an issue with the man who came with you?" someone asked in suspicion.Everyone was being cautious right now. After all, liberating Sandstone was fraught with risks. Even if Silverboa did not have any concrete evidence in their hands, a mere decree from them could spell the downfall of these aristocrats.After Sid left, he glanced back and noticed that Libby and Adrian were now surrounded. This brought a slight sense of relief to him, and he began scanning the crowd for Carson. However, he could not find the latter no matter how hard he tried. With the situation now beyond salvage, whether Carson surrendered or not no longer mattered. Now, the only thing he had to do was to leave this place immediately. But Sid was still within Carson's territory, and Adrian might be observing his every move. Therefore, he could not afford to act rashly like leavi

Under such circumstances, what alternative path could he choose?"Don't trouble Ms. Libby, everyone. I guarantee with my life that she is one of us."She was indeed among them, but not one of them.Carson smiled bitterly.The surrounding nobles, upon seeing Carson, were momentarily stunned before bowing to him in succession. In their hearts, they still held a sense of awe toward him. Not only because he had always been the highest authority of the city, but also because in such circumstances, he could still cling to his beliefs and find a way to restore Sandstone. Just for this reason, he was worthy of their respect."My lord, but Ms. Libby...""Enough. I invited her here. Would I harm myself?" Carson said solemnly.The crowd finally quieted down. Carson was the host of this banquet, so he must have some grasp of the current situation. Even if he might betray them, he would not betray himself. So, no matter how many doubts there were about Libby, as long as she was trusted by th

"Speaking of which, we've known each other for fifteen years, haven't we?" Libby looked at Carson, her expression carrying a half-smile.Carson felt uncertain about the other party's standing in Silverboa, so momentarily unsure how to respond. "Indeed, it has been fifteen years," he finally replied, his tone tinged with doubt.When did Libby become connected with Silverboa? Just contemplating it made him feel as though he had been shortsighted. Sid was no exception. Carson realized that Libby's presence hinted at Silverboa's infiltration and scheming against Obscura for many years. Yet, they still intended to execute their plans at tonight's party. Who knew if there were others like Libby among the numerous nobles present?"Fifteen years ago, I arrived alone from Silverboa City to this place. Through the arrangements of various factions, I became one of the nobles of Sandstone. These fifteen years..."Carson's eyes widened. So she was from Silverboa City? A native? He recalled the

Sid tore off the prosthetic on his face, revealing his true appearance. His aura surged rapidly, transforming him from an old man on the brink of senility to the invincible Great Commander."If you want to stop me, go ahead and try, but be prepared to pay with your lives," he declared sternly.Sid knew the situation had reached its most perilous point. His only thought now was to break through the encircling foes and reach the city wall, hoping that Adrian remained unaware of his presence. However, such hopes seemed futile as Carson had undoubtedly betrayed them, leaving Sid with one final bid."Attack!" Megan's expression turned serious. Upon learning that Sid had indeed appeared at the banquet as Libby had foreseen, she knew a fierce battle awaited them. Thankfully, Libby had anticipated this and personally escorted Adrian to the venue. Otherwise, relying solely on their strength, detaining Sid would have been challenging."Kill him!" someone shouted, prompting over a dozen indiv

‘‘You move as swiftly as ever,’ Megan thought.Through her leader's previous words, Megan had already discerned that Adrian was someone who truly comprehended power. His ability to sense Origin Power was merely a matter of time. With his strength, he had already surpassed the formidable entity known as Ronan. Yet, after visiting Obscura City, he had once again advanced, officially ascending into a realm beyond human capability. It was truly terrifying.After unleashing the windblade tornado, Sid concealed himself within a nearby residential building before slipping into an adjacent alleyway. "I hope that slowed him down," he muttered despondently. Letting out a sigh, he glanced up blankly and was startled to see a figure suddenly materialize before him.“Was he already here earlier?” Sid pondered, somewhat puzzled. However, he had no time to dwell on his confusion.Adrian approached him with a smile, saying, "Long time no see."Sid chuckled bitterly. In truth, it hadn't been that

Sid, laying on the ground, fell silent."Take him back," Libby commanded, waving her hand.Megan stepped forward, hoisting Sid up from the ground. She securely bound him before escorting him away. Thus, in the dimly lit alley, only Adrian and Libby remained."You were already aware of my identity?" Libby inquired, meeting Adrian's gaze."From the very beginning," Adrian confirmed with a faint smile.Yesterday, upon encountering Megan, Adrian had pondered her intentions. However, with Libby's arrival, his focus shifted to her. There was something distinctly intriguing about her demeanor, particularly the reverence and admiration with which Megan regarded her, reminiscent of their previous conversation about Dark Moon’s leader."As the leader of Dark Moon, you managed to infiltrate Obscura for fifteen years?" Adrian turned to face her, his expression serious."It's not fifteen years; it's been thirty," Libby corrected him, surprising Adrian."Do you also possess the ability to ch
