The whole thing felt like a farce, quickly coming to an end. Everyone watched in surprise as Adrian seemed to become the biggest beneficiary of this court session.What was even more shocking was that Justin did not oppose any of it. Instead, he appeared to have accepted it with ease. This was not typical of Justin’s character.Renee and Michael exchanged confused glances. They noticed that Justin was staring at Adrian with a gleam in his eyes as if he had discovered a treasure.Adrian noticed this too but didn’t pay it much attention. He and Renee left the palace, having no interest in dealing with any further complications."Sir Adrian, your luck is really impressive. The Sixth Courtyard is an excellent place," Michael said, his eyes full of envy.Adrian responded calmly, "Oh? How so?"Adrian didn’t seem too moved. After all, a residence was just a place to settle down. Was it really because a celestial being had once lived there that it became so valuable? Adrian wasn’t convin
Swish, swish, swish!Not long after Renee and Michael left, the sharp sound of something being cut whistled through the air. It seemed like the approach of some kind of threat.Adrian glanced into the distance, his expression calm as he said lightly, "Come out. There's no need to skulk around." His tone was casual, and his demeanor unperturbed.The figures in hiding wasted no time. They struck without a word, hurling concealed weapons at Adrian in an attack that seemed astonishingly ferocious. The attackers clearly intended to kill Adrian. Their malicious intent was obvious, though their strength didn’t appear particularly fearsome.Faced with this situation, Adrian chuckled softly. "Did the one who sent you not bother to tell you about my strength?"The leader of the black-clad group glared at Adrian with hatred, his eyes filled with icy resolve. For him, the objective was clear: eliminate Adrian at all costs.Swish, swish, swish!The terrifying sounds of their attacks filled t
The shattering of the soul tablets signified that the individuals tied to them had met their ultimate demise. They had been obliterated with no way to come back.The middle-aged man’s face darkened as he muttered coldly, “Hmph, that celestial residence is destined to be mine.” He vanished from where he stood, disappearing without a trace. It was impossible to discern where he had gone, and the sight was utterly chilling.Meanwhile, Adrian retired to his room. The lodgings, though simple, appeared to have been regularly cleaned and maintained.'It's not too shabby,' he thought, sitting cross-legged and beginning to meditate. Any environment was the same as long as he could focus on his goals. Now more than ever, he knew he needed to remain diligent and meticulous. There was no room for carelessness or neglect.Ciawales was far from the fragile entity Adrian had initially imagined. He understood that if he wanted to control everything, he had to rise to the pinnacle of power. If he c
The attackers were no match for Adrian, and those who had come to assassinate him were now nowhere to be seen. This could only mean one thing: those who came to ambush and kill Adrian already went to hell.Renee couldn’t help but shiver. With Adrian, everything was far more terrifying and brutal than she had ever imagined. He was no saint. Anyone who tried to kill him would inevitably face a horrific outcome. After all, his strength spoke for itself.Adrian was like a god of death. Anyone who tried to approach him would have to pay a terrifying price. Adrian knew some things were far more complex than they appeared on the surface, and he made sure that everyone around him understood this reality.Boom!A terrifying vibration suddenly rang out across Ciawales City. Everyone was startled, and Renee was shocked as well. What was going on?"What’s happening? This is the capital city. Who dares to cause trouble?" Renee wondered, her face filled with astonishment.Whoosh, whoosh, whoos
Adrian's eyes narrowed. The power of Ciawales' ancestor was something he couldn't see through. There was a faint aura around the ancestor that suggested he had surpassed the Fusion Stage. Adrian speculated that the ancestor might even have reached the Void Stage or even the terrifying Multiply Stage.‘Ciawales is truly not as simple as it seems,’ Adrian thought in surprise. When he first approached this area, he clearly felt that the surroundings were not ordinary. It seemed that this place was filled with hidden talents."Hahaha! Floyd Wagner you old fool, you’re still alive. Looks like you’ve broken through the Fusion Stage." Barry, the expert from Primeria, sneered."The Ancestor is here. This guy is as good as dead!" Renee’s eyes blazed with fury.Being provoked and having the confrontation brought to your doorstep was enough to make anyone seethe with anger, and Renee was naturally indignant too.Adrian’s expression turned grim. "Such arrogance… This probably isn’t as simple
The clash seemed to last only for a few exchanges, lasting only a few seconds. But to Adrian, it felt as though the two had fought thousands of rounds. Yet, no clear winner had emerged, and the violent energy continued to explode outward.Bam, bam, bam!"I didn’t expect you to make a breakthrough, old geezer," came a much older voice from Barry’s mouth which was not his.This statement immediately shocked everyone. "Has Primeria’s ancestor made a breakthrough? Is that why he dares to provoke our kingdom?" someone suddenly exclaimed.The speculation was clear, and everyone froze in place. Nobody had expected the situation to be like this. If that were the case, it would truly signal a massive storm between the two great nations. After all, Primeria had surrendered in the past, and it was said that the main reason for their capitulation was that their ancestor’s strength had fallen behind.It was rumored that Primeria’s ancestor had been stuck at a bottleneck, which had led them to
For a moment, everyone was stunned. They didn’t understand what was happening. Was Floyd really gravely injured, or was this just Jensen trying to undermine Ciawales?In the air, two figures were seen rushing away, seemingly in a hurry. During the previous shockwave, Floyd had gained the upper hand, which was why the attackers had to flee in disgrace.A hint of joy appeared in Renee’s eyes. “Those dogs thought Ancestor Floyd was done for? They didn’t expect to have to leave in such a miserable state. Serves them right!"Hearing this, Adrian smiled. As if he could sense some clues, though he wasn’t completely sure, since he hadn’t personally assessed Floyd’s condition. However, he could sense Floyd’s overwhelming aura when he attacked. There was an underlying, fearless air about him.But in the end, Floyd had let the two attackers go. This was surprising. One would have expected them to be killed after such provocation. It implied that Floyd had some unresolved issues.Calm quickly
The situation in Ciawales was dangerous. If they weren’t careful, Primeria could take advantage of the situation.Looking at the ministers before him, Basil said, "What are the best strategies? Gentlemen? At this point, we should be receiving news from the borders soon.”Upon hearing this, many of the ministers lowered their heads and didn’t dare to speak up. After all, some of them had no real power. They were only in their positions because of their family’s influence in the court. Their strength was limited, so they chose to remain silent, fearing that Basil would send them to fight. If they were to face Primeria’s forces in a life-and-death struggle, it would probably be death for them."Your Majesty, I humbly request that you send troops to march on Primeria. They have gone too far. We must defeat them and make them flee. Thirty years ago, Ciawales commanded respect, and thirty years later, we will make them fear us again and force them to surrender," an elderly minister spoke
