Chapter 3165
A little over an hour later, Elizabeth and Adrian reached Cras Island from Obscura. As Adrian gazed upon the expansive landscape of Cras Island from above, he felt a rare surge of emotion. It had been a month since he last set foot here, recalling the moment when Kaya had personally escorted him here, and also of Everett and the others. However, while Everett, Lillian, and the rest had settled there, Adrian had promptly departed for Mori Island, where subsequent events led him to Obscura. It had been over a month since then.Observing Adrian's contemplative demeanor, Elizabeth smiled serenely. "You don't seem as aloof as you appear."Adrian shot her a sidelong glance. "And you don't seem as youthful as you pretend to be."Though Adrian's remark carried a touch of sarcasm, it was not intended to cause offense. Even if Adrian harbored ill intentions, Elizabeth remained unfazed, her resilience transcending the concerns of ordinary individuals. Though she was a woman, Elizabeth existed

When Adrian turned his head, Elizabeth had already disappeared from the carriage. He was stunned, not knowing when Elizabeth had left. It was at this moment he recognized that Elizabeth's strength might surpass his own. After all, only by using Origin Power could Elizabeth have left the carriage without him noticing.'Would I have been able to defend myself if she had attacked me?' Adrian thought. Elizabeth was like Pandora’s box, and he felt a real sense of danger from her. She held too many secrets that made him uneasy."What's the matter?" Wallace asked. "Did you see someone else leaving the carriage?" Adrian asked.Wallace shook his head. "No, it was just you in the carriage.”Adrian fell silent. This further confirmed that Elizabeth could also wield Origin Power.Wallace looked at Adrian strangely. He felt that Adrian had undergone some changes since returning from Obscura, but he could not quite put his finger on it. "Seriously? Was there really someone else with you in th

Adrian turned to Wallace, hoping the latter might have some insights. However, to his surprise, Wallace's expression was gloomy. He could also sense hurt and caution in Wallace’s demeanor. Did this imply that there was something wrong with this man before them?"Why have you gone out of your way to welcome me?" Adrian asked bluntly."Well... You've made remarkable contributions in Obscura, and I'm not only the governor of Cras Island but also an ordinary citizen of Silverboa. I hold great respect for you!" the man answered. "Let me introduce myself. I am Thobias, Thobias Remington." Adrian squinted and scrutinized Thobias before shaking the latter’s hand. "Please, come with me. I've already been informed of what happened to the young lady and Ms. Lillian," Thobias said, "Ms. Lillian is currently receiving treatment in the best medical hospital in the city. As for the young lady, I've dispatched people throughout the entire city to search for her. I believe it won't take long to f

Adrian entered the ward and saw Lillian, who was unconscious."Mr. Adrian, Ms. Lilian’s condition is extremely severe. It's best not to disturb her. But rest assured, we have the best medical facilities and many people to protect her. You don't have to worry about anything," Thobias said.Adrian sneered inwardly. He was certain that the people outside were there to monitor Lillian rather than protect her, but he chose not to say this out loud.The expression on Adrian’s face caught Thobias' attention though, who then felt a twinge of discomfort. 'I didn't expect him to notice something amiss so quickly. Truly, he's someone who could achieve so much in Obscura.'Thobias sighed inwardly. Then, he turned to Wallace and looked at him coldly. Apparently, Wallace had revealed something to Adrian earlier, and Thobias regretted not eliminating Wallace earlier. Although it might be risky, taking the risk would have been better than letting Adrian realize anything."Mr. Adrian, we—" "Not

"I've just returned. Rest for now, we'll leave here soon," Adrian said.Thobias was slightly taken aback. He approached Adrian and carefully examined Lillian. All her injuries had indeed improved significantly. With a smile, he said, "Not only are you renowned for your military achievements, but you also seem quite adept in the field of medicine! However, I still advise you to remain here. Let us handle the search. After all, a hospital environment is more conducive to Ms. Lillian's recovery."Thobias was still trying his best to keep Lillian here, but since Adrian was suspicious of Thobias' intentions, he would not allow that to happen. "No need to worry. I'll be taking her with me," Adrian said.Thobias fell into silence. He would not mind killing Adrian right here, but Adrian's unpredictable strength and his immense contributions made him think twice. If he killed Adrian here on Cras Island, it could have repercussions for him.Resignedly, Thobias sighed and said, "It seems like

Upon hearing this, Adrian turned to look at Lillian lying on the hospital bed. Compared to Wallace's assessment, Adrian had more trust in Lillian's words regarding the Celestrians. After all, Wallace could be quite erratic at times. Lillian nodded in agreement and said, "Seven days ago, we suddenly found many local government officials around us. They claimed to have noticed that the Celestrians were keeping an eye on us and might take action against us, but we suspected that it was Rozi who had been discovered by the Celestrians again, so we accepted the protection of the local government forces."At that time, we didn't suspect them. It's because of this that we relaxed our guard. We thought we were safe under the local government’s protection, but when the Celestrians arrived, the officials were too weak to withstand them. The Celestrians defeated them and took Rozi away.”Wallace sighed. "If we knew that the Celestrians had found us again, we would’ve escaped. We were tricked b

Unlike his father, Kevin seemed more highly experienced to deal with Adrian and his companions. If he could only wipe away the faint air of arrogance on himself, his act would seem more natural.After getting a brief rundown of the situation, Adrian knew that they would likely have to start from Thobias if they wanted to find Rozi. Therefore, he did not show any resistance in his interaction with Kevin."Mr. Adrian, were there many warriors in Obscura? It must’ve been very dangerous for you to conquer Leafall with so few people," Kevin said.Adrian smiled and shook his head. "There were indeed many warriors in Obscura, but I was fortunate not to encounter any true experts. In Leafall, there was only one Grandmaster, and he was the type who was just waiting to die. I managed to kill him without much trouble."Kevin fell into a pensive silence. After a while, he continued, "May I know what level you are at now, Mr. Adrian? You know, I'm just an ordinary person, but I'm quite curious

"Celestria has fallen, so how could it have a princess? The reason I want to find her is because no one should touch anything and anyone under my wing without my consent,” Adrian said coldly.Kevin suddenly realized his mistake and shook his head. "My apologies. Indeed, Celestria has fallen, so there couldn't possibly be a princess, but there's another issue. It won't be easy for you to find her, Mr. Adrian. After all, their organization is very secretive, and those targeted by them are difficult to locate.""It sounds to me that you know where to find them," Adrian replied."I don't," Kevin said, "but I can create an opportunity for you to make contact with them. Do you want to hear about it?""Really? I'm all ears, then," Adrian said."The government of Cras Island is going to hold a party tonight, and some merchants from Celestria will be attending. They’ve been doing business with Silverboa before their country fell, so they can be trusted. As Celestrians and wealthy merchants
