“I… I…”Ivy opened her little mouth. But instead of answering with words, she stabbed at Adrian with her dagger to express her resistance.Adrian grabbed the swinging dagger and tossed it to the ground. Soon afterward, he kneed her in the abdomen heavily once again.Ivy shook profusely. Adrian loosened his grip over her and she landed on the ground. She raised her tear-streaked face and her mouth hung open. She appeared to be in agony.“Don’t hit her, Draco. Hit me instead!” The redhead pinned on the ground said in a shrill voice.Adrian ignored her. He got down on one knee and looked at Ivy’s tear-streaked, panic-stricken face.“Gahh!” the redhead screamed and struggled frantically. However, she was utterly incapable of freeing herself from the Wyvern Peak soldier holding her down.The redhead shouted once again, “You b*stard! Let go of her, Draco! Let go of her. Please, I beg you not to hit her anymore. She’s no longer a normal woman. Please stop hurting her.”Adrian turned a

Eira said, “Don’t be fooled by his sweet words, Ivy. He’ll never remove his mask and show his true face. Our lives are torture anyway, so we might as well die.”Ivy nodded and said nothing.However, just as Eira’s voice faded, Adrian reached up and removed his mask, revealing his face to Ivy and Eira. The women were astonished when they saw War Legate Draco’s true face, and their attention was fully drawn to it.It was a young face that looked to be less than twenty-five years old.Eira was astonished, and so was Eira. In their minds, they believed the War Legate Draco under the mask was more than thirty years old. However, the face underneath looked extremely young.Adrian said, “I don’t wear a mask to hide myself. Perhaps what I’ve done for the inland is for myself, but you’ve misunderstood me, and I can prove it to you.”As he spoke, Adrian removed his battle suit and exposed his upper body. Eira and Ivy stared at him and found his body covered in scars and healed gunshot woun

Ivy, Eira, and the other women of Bloody Rose were taken away.Adrian ordered Blade to imprison them at Battle Warrior Tower temporarily. Following the departure of the women, Wyvern Peak’s soldiers retired and One Jewel Road was quiet once again. Mya walked over and said to Adrian, “Sir, based on what we’ve learned from these women, Bloody Rose is not as simple as we imagined. Looks like there’s a leader at the top of the organization who’s doing something that we don’t know about.”She was right. Ivy and the others were clearly expendable. “Make some preparations for me to head to Yelloton tomorrow,” said Adrian. Mya nodded. Soon after, she left in a car. After Mya left, Adrian made his way to Samantha and cupped her face with his hands. He asked concerningly, “Are you all right, Sam?”Samantha cracked a sincere smile and nodded. “Your Sam is fine, but I’m not. My neck was cut,” Joanna said grievously. Adrian looked toward Joanna. There was a cut on the skin of her n

Joanna’s interest was piqued.She giggled and said, “Adrian, why do you want to turn the monarch into a figurehead? Are you trying to overthrow the government and build the Xander Nation?”Adrian glared at Joanna.She continued to giggle and said, “If you were to build such a nation and become its monarch, you’ll practice polygamy, right? If you do, remember to count me in. Samantha can be the queen while I play the difficult position of royal consort as best as I can!”“Hahaha!” Samantha burst into laughter at Joanna’s remark. “Stop talking nonsense, Jojo. The monarch’s last name is Nave, after all. How can a Xander become the monarch? Speaking of which, the current monarch is quite something. If he had even an ounce of intelligence, he wouldn’t have allowed Chase to do so many things right under his nose.”“That’s right!” Joanna answered in agreement.Samantha asked Adrian, “Dear, I believe you have it all figured out, right? If you turn Novemton’s monarch into a figurehead, th
Chapter 687
Yelloton was a third-tier city located in the northwest region.It was an ancient city with its back facing a vast expanse of sky. The city lacked in everything except for yellow sand, thus how it got its name. The “yello” in Yelloton was taken from the word ‘yellow’.At twelve noon, Adrian and Mya arrived at Yelloton’s main street in their car. Both sides of the bustling street were filled with a joyous, festive mood. Several cars headed by a wedding car drove past. It was a grand sight to behold.Judging by the situation, someone was getting married.Mya tilted her head to the side and sized up the passing wedding fleet as she drove. She saw the bride who was sitting in the wedding car through the car’s window and she started feeling emotional. She said in a flirtatious tone, “Sir, that woman looks so happy. She’s going to marry her lover soon. Oh, I’m so jealous.”Adrian darted a look at Mya. “Are you troubled about your own marriage?”“Very. How can I not be?” Mya answered, “

Adrian and Mya got back in the car, turned it around, and drove toward Yelloton Hotel.They arrived soon after.The place was bustling with activity. There was a crowd of friends and family gathered in the hotel lobby. It seemed as though the wedding ceremony had already begun and the sound of an emcee’s voice was heard coming from inside the hotel.Adrian and Mya got out of the car and strode into the hotel. The wedding was taking place in the hotel’s ballroom and the Snows’ friends and relatives were all seated. The newly-wedded couple and two more married couples were seated at the head table.The wedding emcee was making a blessing speech in a joyous manner.Adrian and Mya did not approach the Snows right away because the wedding was currently ongoing. Instead, they found a place to sit.Mya said, “That’s Wiley, and I believe that the older couple seated next to him is Megan and Joel. They looked like rather honest people.”Adrian nodded and the two fell silent. They planned

“Who are these people?”Mya was puzzled by these people barging into the hall.Adrian looked over as well.The wedding was disrupted as everyone was puzzled by the situation. Joel and Megan stood up in shock at the head table, while Wiley’s expression darkened as well.These people came with knives and clubs in their hands and were led by a man with a chubby face who looked to be about thirty years old. He swung the knife in his hand at the head table and said angrily, “You’ve owed me for three years and have yet to return any of the money. You claim that you don’t have money, but if you don’t have f*cking money, how are you able to afford such a grand wedding for your son?!“Joel, give me back my f*cking money today or I will not let you go!”The man’s roar of anger astounded the guests.Joel got up to leave the head table. There was an expression of fury on his face and he looked like he was about to start a fight. However, Megan forcefully held him back.Joel stood at the he

However, just as Megan was about to lose all hope, Adrian stood up from the crowd and made his way to the head table.Under the puzzled gazes of the guests, he came to a stop before Megan. She, too, was puzzled by the sight of this stranger.Adrian bent down and looked at the sixty-year-old woman with a frown. Then, he stretched out his hands and helped her to her feet.“Young man, wh-who are you?” asked Megan.Joel and Wiley were looking at Adrian in puzzlement as well. Everyone at the scene was staring at him.Adrian turned around and narrowed his bright eyes ever so slightly as he said to Buck, “Buck, correct? Your uncle works for Yelloton’s Internal Affairs, yes? I’ll only tell you this once. Take your men and get out of here. Also, return that land to the Snows. If you don’t do as I say, I promise you that you’ll die here today.”“I’ll only say this once. You have five seconds to leave, and your time starts now…”Adrian’s gaze held steady.Buck looked him up and down in co
