Adrian smiled and said, “You ladies could stay at my place, but it won’t be for free. You’re all highly trained assassins from Bloody Rose, which makes you very organized. I’d like you to work for me.”“Not a chance. We’re not going to help you with anything or kill anyone. We won’t get involved in the strife between you and Chase. We may be killers, but we’ve never harmed one of our own, so you can forget about it.”“Is there really no room for negotiation here?”“Yes,” Ivy answered firmly. She then added, “We were forced to work for Bloody Rose in the first place. Now that that part of our life is over, we’ll never return to it even if we have to die.”Adrian asked, “But what if I can help you by saving all of your sisters that Bloody Rose is holding hostage?”“What?!”Ivy was slightly startled when she heard this. She exchanged glances with Eira, while Mya’s eyes curved up as she smiled and observed.“Are you pulling my leg? You think you can save them? Even if you can defeat

Mya left right after Adrian.Eira and Ivy paused for a moment before going to look for their sisters, all while Adrian’s words rang in their ears.***It was late at night by the time Adrian walked out of Battle Warrior Tower, where a woman had been waiting for him for a long time.It was Shirley.“Adrian!” Shirley walked over to him the moment she spotted him exiting the building, but she did not look very happy.Adrian stopped and remained silent.Shirley and Christina had been busy arranging Kayn’s funeral while Adrian was not around. In a way, it was Shirley’s way of fulfilling her duties as his daughter.“I just wanted to tell you that Mother and I have found a place in Swallowston, so we won’t be coming here unless we have to.”Adrian nodded.Logically, Shirley should hate Adrian’s guts for killing her father. But the truth was, as much as she hated him, Adrian had no choice at the time.“Go on. I wish you both a good life,” Adrian said.Shirley took a deep breath bef

Samantha put down her book and looked at Adrian. “I just got up. By the way, what’s the story with those women? Did you manage to find anything?”Adrian hummed in acknowledgment and got onto the bed. He then stroked Samantha’s belly and said, “I suppose you could say that.”Samantha’s interest was piqued. “Well, go on. What’s the story?”Adrian told Samantha what he had found. After hearing all of it, she seemed shocked as she said, “I didn’t know this Eternity woman even existed. Who is she? Do you think she’s an even bigger threat than Chase?”“I’m not sure,” Adrian replied honestly.“Do you think you can handle her?” Samantha asked with a concerned expression.“She’s human with a head and limbs, just like the rest of us. Never think that you’re weaker than others. We all have a brain, and it’s up to us how we choose to use it.” Adrian pointed at Samantha’s head.“Get lost. Are you trying to imply that I’m stupid?” Samantha rolled her eyes and continued, “They say women become

Adrian sat in the lobby after they all left.Shortly after, Mya walked over and said, “Sir, our men from Azure Creek called. They said that a professor from Azure Creek University has made a copy of the book you retrieved.”Adrian quickly replied upon hearing this, “Excellent. Have them deliver it to Swallowston immediately. I’m taking all of you for a spin tonight!”Although Mya was not aware of Adrian’s plans, she could make an educated guess. She went on to do as she was told, and someone was sent over from Azure Creek University to deliver the book.One hour later, Ivy, Eira, and the other women returned to the lobby. They had changed into short skirts or pants, filling the entire place with their fair and slender legs.As the leader, Ivy walked up to Adrian and said, “We’re all ready to go. Is there anything you’d like to say first?”Adrian gazed at the women for a while…“I think it’s about time you all changed your clothes. Let’s make them look more similar. Mya, have som

However, Adrian got up and left without explaining anything.***Ivy and the others returned to their respective rooms to get some rest. Probably due to fatigue from the chaos of the past few days. they all slept until twelve midnight, which was when Mya woke them up.The women recalled what Adrian said that morning and were curious about what kind of show Adrian was going to put on, so Ivy, Eira, and the rest got out of their beds and quickly washed their faces. After they were all gathered, Ivy led them to meet up with Adrian, who had already been waiting outside the tower for a long time.The moment they arrived, Mya said, “Your battle suits are inside the vehicle, so gear up, adjust your communicators, and get ready. We’re leaving in ten minutes.”The women took out their gears from the vehicle upon hearing this. They were battle suits that Mya had spent the day getting ready for them.The Ivy Sisters quickly changed into their gear, seeming extremely excited while doing so a

These were women who had been living in the shadows for a long time, so it made sense they would be extra sensitive to anything or anyone outside of their lives.They did not need to be moved, nor did they need anyone’s trust.What they needed was to stay alive.The reason why Eira questioned Ivy was that she and the others did not understand Adrian’s ways. In fact, they did not even hold any high hopes for him.They were only staying with him as a means to their survival.“Eira’s right, Ivy. Draco’s clearly a bad person to have around. Who knows what will happen to us if we stay here,” one of the other women said with her lips pursed.“We’re all displeased with Draco, plus, we don’t even know what Wyvern Peak wants.”“I mean, are we supposed to help him if Wyvern Peak wants us to clean up Internal Affairs and overthrow the emperor?”The women began making wild assumptions, causing Ivy to sigh helplessly. “I know you all have your grievances, but we’re completely out of options

An explosion suddenly erupted from the street, making a deafening boom.Everyone looked over and saw that the SUV driving on the streets had exploded with thick smoke coming from it. The entire street instantly crumbled, leaving the vehicle stuck in between the cracks that opened up.At that moment, a voice spoke through everyone’s communicators, “They’re here, sir!”Naturally, Eira and the others heard this since they were all wearing their communicators.‘They?’The women seemed confused for a moment, while Adrian stood up and said, “I see that.”He watched the halted vehicle, from which five men in Wyvern Peak’s battle suits got out. At the same time, more than a hundred assassins swarmed toward them from the forest.These assassins were extremely quick, surrounding them from all directions within seconds.“It’s them!” Ivy said in shock when she saw the assassins.Immediately after she said this, Eira and the other women trembled, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

But when Ivy saw how determined Adrian was, she took a deep breath and said, “Nyssa, Arianne, Phoenix, Jenine… Go assist them. But do be careful.”The women locked their sights on the battle below. Immediately upon receiving their orders, they drew their daggers and sped down the mountains toward the street.The other women started trembling when the four left. Some were even tearing up.Ivy was most definitely in tears as she looked at Adrian. “Surely there are other ways to have us killed, right? You’ve clearly sent the four of them to their deaths. They’re naturally frightened of assassins and can’t muster up any fighting spirit under such circumstances!”Adrian chose not to answer Ivy’s question.Evident from their swooping shadow, Nyssa and the others were almost at the battlefield. Ivy saw this and became even more anxious. “Why aren’t you answering me? We’re all pitiful women who were bullied back in Bloody Rose, but that’s fine. Why would you do such a thing to us after we
