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

Buck was killed at the scene of what was supposed to be a joyous wedding.Everyone in the hall was astounded and dumbstruck after witnessing what happened.Joel, Megan, and Wiley looked at Adrian in astonishment. They felt extremely puzzled, shocked, and emotional in their hearts.They were emotional because this man deserved to die. However, the Snows were terrified at the sight of Buck’s corpse.“H-He killed him.”“Yeah, he’s a cold-blooded killer. Who is he? He killed Buck out of nowhere.”“He’s a cruel man who does exactly what he says.”A number of people were discussing softly.The ballroom was filled with a series of noises. Countless people were discussing softly while Joel hurriedly made his way to Adrian. He bowed to Adrian before he asked, “Y-Young man, why did you kill Buck? Internal Affairs will surely punish you for it. Your actions might also implicate my family.”Joel sounded nervous. Adrian meticulously looked him up and down. Joel was only a little over sixty

“H-Have you seen my sister? Where is she? Where is she?!” Wiley roared as he clutched Adrian by the collar in an agitated manner.The family and friends around him were astounded.Joel wiped his tears and said to Adrian, “My friend, have you met Eira? Where is she? Please tell me where she is.”Adrian pulled away Wiley’s hands and said, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. Wait for me at home.”Upon saying this, he strode away.“Young man! Young man!”Megan did not wish to let Adrian leave and wanted to go after him but Mya stopped her. She said, “Mrs. Megan, he told you to go home and pack. He’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. We’re going to kill Buck’s uncle now.”Wiley asked, “What time tomorrow, pretty miss?”Mya smiled at him and said, “Five in the morning. Wait at home and don’t be late.”Upon saying that, Mya walked out as well.Wiley took two steps forward to go after her and asked, “Can you please tell me if my sister is still alive?”Mya’s legs halted to a brief stop

“What did you say?!” Maverick shouted as he shot up from his seat.He was so shocked that he almost dropped his mouse.The snivelly man breathed heavily and answered, “Your nephew, Buck, was killed at Yelloton Hotel. I just received the news, and it’s a hundred percent true.”Maverick was stunned. Soon afterward, he flew into a great rage. He yelled, “Which son of a b*tch has the audacity to kill my nephew?! Was it Joel’s family? I heard that they’ve been engaging in heated quarrels with Buck recently because of the land.”“It wasn’t Joel’s family. Buck was killed by a young man and a young woman at the scene.”“I don’t care if it was Joels’ f*cking family or not. All I know is that this matter is closely related to the Snows. Capture every member of the Snow family this instant. Bring them over and place them in the death prison. I want them to suffer and wish they were dead!” roared Maverick.After he was done roaring, he pulled out a gun from the drawer and stormed out of Inte

Adrian took a gun that Mya passed him and aimed it at Maverick before Maverick could inquire further.Maverick almost wet his pants the moment the gun pointed at him. He shouted, “Wh-What are you doing?! We can talk properly. We can talk…”Adrian smiled but did not speak.“Wh-Who the heck are you?” asked Maverick in a panic after noticing that Adrian did not lower his gun.“I’m going to borrow a line from you—I’m the overlord,” said Adrian smilingly.‘What? Overlord?’ Maverick thought as he was stunned speechless.Meanwhile, Mya said, “Maverick, why aren’t you bowing down in the presence of War Legate Draco?”“What? War Legate Draco?”Maverick’s jaw dropped. He raised his head to look at Adrian then looked at Wyvern Peak’s soldiers.Maverick was completely stunned. ‘The person standing before me is War Legate Draco?’“Uh… Uh…”Maverick was so flustered that he made “calm down” hand gestures at himself over and over before saying, “Please listen to me, sir. I wasn’t trying to
