Adrian was heartbroken to hear Riley's hysterical cry, but he could not bring himself to promise her such a thing. Instead, all he could do at that moment was hold her tight in his arms.Trying to console her, he said, "I promise that I'll hire the best doctors in the world to treat him, but I want you to promise me that you'll face this matter bravely.""But I-I can't… I'm afraid! I can't do it!" Riley cried."You have to face it even if you're afraid. You're going to have to move forward no matter how scared you are. I can't promise that I can cure him, but I can promise that I’ll do everything in my power to save him as long as he's still alive. However, I don't wish to see you like this, understand?" Adrian said softly.Riley‘s only reply was she crying.After holding her in his embrace for a long time, Adrian helped Riley to her feet. He held her face and looked her in the eyes. "Remember Riley… I will be with you all the way, no matter what happens. You're a member of the Xa
Once Rue and Riley were inside the villa, Gloria folded her arms and looked at Adrian. "I might have a way to help cure cancer, but I'm not sure if it'll work.""What is it?" Adrian asked."We could use my blood as a cure."Adrian was slightly dazed when he heard this. 'Gloria's blood cells are definitely superhuman, and it's still undergoing mutation. It's like she can’t get sick right now. Maybe we could extract the cells in her blood, which might be able to kill cancer cells.'He smiled when he heard Gloria's idea and said, "You seem pretty dumb, but you come up with splendid ideas when it comes down to it. I underestimated you.""F*ck off!" Gloria glared at him."Get change. I'm taking you to New Paraiso. We'll contact Winslow's medical team and ask them to provide some data. Let's see if your idea actually pans out."Gloria nodded and followed Adrian into the villa. As she went to change, Adrian waited for her in the living room. Rue made a plate of pasta and Riley ate it w
Adrian suddenly seemed a little weak after hanging up. A moment later, he spat out an entire mouthful of blood before falling limp against the couch."Adrian!""Adrian!""Adrian!"Rue, Riley, and Gloria instantly rushed to Adrian's side and helped him up. His eyes were in a daze, and his pupils seemed to be filled with an endless void.Meanwhile, Novemton News continued to broadcast."Lucas Jenner, Steel, and two more battle warriors from Wyvern Peak are currently trapped inside Serpent's Haven. Novemton has already called for an urgent conference at headquarters…"The series of news echoed throughout every single nerve within Adrian.The Eight Hollows had appeared.The eight-man group and Dragon Peak had finally taken action against Wyvern Peak. This was going to be the biggest internal strife Wyvern Peak would have ever been through.And Daniel had fallen in battle.Adrian could not understand why, but he felt extremely helpless at that moment. He had no idea what to do or
After a while, Gloria exited the room and said, "Take care of him, Mother. Riley and I will take a trip down to New Paraiso, but please make sure he waits for me to get back when he wakes up."Rue, holding Nova in her arms, nodded when she heard what Gloria said. "Okay, go on. I'll stay here and take care of him."Gloria hummed in acknowledgment and said, "Could you take me to Sam's research lab, Riley? I've come up with a plan that might save your boyfriend, but I don't know the way to the lab."Riley remained silent. Daniel's death… Lucas, Steel, and the others trapped inside of Serpent's Haven, battling against Dragon Peak… All of this suddenly made her feel that there were indeed things in the world that Adrian could not do. Otherwise, Daniel would not have had to sacrifice himself."Gloria, I think we should leave my stuff aside for the time being. Just look at the condition Adrian's in…" RIley pursed her lips."Right now, the only thing we can do is solve whatever problem we
The moment Gloria's blood cells came into contact with the cancer cells, the blood cell immediately launched a series of attacks against the cancer cells. Within mere minutes, all of the cancer cells had been killed.This phenomenon caused everyone to feel astonished, including Kendall."Unbelievable… Truly, this is unbelievable! I never thought I'd witness such a miracle in my lifetime!" Kendall exclaimed in shock.Danton said, "This is unbelievable. Ms. Gloria's cells are far more powerful than ordinary human cells by ten, maybe even twenty times."Gloria smiled when she saw the results. "Looks like my plan works. Those worms produced by the meteorite changed my body, which is why I'm different from ordinary humans. You can use my blood and turn it into medicine.""That's right, your blood is the most powerful cure against cancer, Ms. Gloria," Kendall said excitedly."Let's begin then. However, there is one point to consider, and that's the fact that my mutation hasn't stopped.
Suddenly, a voice spoke up, unbeknownst who it was.Shortly after that, everyone yelled, "You can do it, War Legate Draco!""We know you can!""Kill them all!"Everyone knew that War Legate Draco was about to head to Serpent's Haven to save Lucas, Steel, and the others. They all knew that he would never give up at such a critical moment. Thus, they were all there to see him off.Without saying a word, Adrian headed all the way down the mountain. Behind him, Nova, who was in Rue's arms, cried as though she could not bear having to part ways with her father.At that moment, under everyone's gazes, Gloria drove over and stopped in front of Adrian. Dressed in tight, black shorts, she got out of her car and stood before him. "I'm going with you."Adrian stopped and looked at her. As their eyes met, he could see how sincere Gloria seemed and how determined she was. Gloria had gotten changed before driving here, putting on leather shorts and a matching fitting black top with a black ja
The only way to help Lucas, Steel, and the others was to send in a small number of elite expendables through a paradrop. Yet, most of the elites at Wyvern Peak had already been sent to Isle 416, so they were going to need a little more time to gather suitable candidates.But Lucas was running short on time.***Adrian and Gloria were about to leave Swallowston. They wanted to get to the biggest Wyvern Peak base in Navia within the shortest amount of time, which was located at Azure Creek. Yet, just as they left One Jewel Road, another car drove in, its driver revealed to be Mya.She immediately got out of her car and ran toward Rue. Anxiously, she asked, "Where's Adrian? Where did he go?"Rue had no idea why Mya was so anxious, so she quickly replied, "He and Gloria just left for Serpent's Haven to help. Why do you ask?""Why didn't you stop him?! He can't go. He mustn't!" Mya exclaimed anxiously.Rue felt her heart drop at that moment. "Why can't he go, Mya?""The elders from
The women all gathered around and said the same thing to Adrian.Gloria glanced at Adrian and said, "What do you think?""I think…let's all go together," Adrian said.As soon as the words fell, the women excitedly jumped up and down. This was their first time truly contributing to Navia.Ivy quickly clapped her hands and shouted, "Let's not waste any more time and get in! It's going to be really dangerous up ahead, but we're not afraid because we will succeed."The women promptly got into the parked car by the roadside, and so did Adrian, his car leading the others to Azure Creek.***Meanwhile, in present-day Windton, the ten powerful houses had been purged, allowing the city to return to normal. There were many people inside Blaze's hotel, constantly talking about Serpent's Haven as they ate.All of this happened while Blaze sat at the counter, quietly watching the news being broadcasted on television. Phoebe, who was pregnant, walked over and asked, "Is something on your min
