"It's okay, let him talk. Men always have a strong desire to show off!" Even though they had lowered their voices, Adrian still clearly heard their conversation. He squinted. When he first saw Hilary, he felt that something was off. Because her attitude didn't seem like that of an ordinary best friend. After all, for her, he was a completely unfamiliar person.Yet she was still finding various ways to encourage Sherri to approach him. If she were really Sherri's best friend, why would she do such a thing? Could it be that her intention was to make him reject Sherri, thus making Sherri sad or humiliating her?He was very familiar with the culture of Obscura City. If he didn't understand his enemies, how could he defeat them?Thinking of this, he realized that tonight's events might develop into something more complicated. He then smiled coldly.Following Hilary's suggestion, Sherri sat next to Adrian. She maintained an elegant posture and softly asked, "Mr. Adrian, your sword seem
Sherri seemed completely unaware of Hilary's thoughts. After hearing Adrian's words, her face instantly turned red.This time her blush was not due to embarrassment as before. Previously, facing Adrian's cold attitude, Sherri had indeed felt very embarrassed. But this time, she was completely taken aback by Adrian's affectionate words.She shyly lowered her head. If the girls from the academy saw Sherri like this, they would surely be very surprised. After all, they considered her their senior. But tonight, because of Adrian's words, she had turned into such a demure maiden! It was truly astonishing.Sherri was too shy to speak because of Adrian.As for Hilary, she also knew that it was not the right time for her to speak. Although she had been thinking that Adrian would reject Sherri, she knew that her plan had failed due to Adrian's attitude change. Now it was impossible to embarrass Sherri using the previous method. Thus, she could only rely on Lloyd!Lloyd had been childhood f
"I didn't expect to run into such a weirdo just as I came here to relax!" Adrian muttered in the Silverboan language.Sherri was stunned for a moment. Did he just speak in the Silverboan language? But because the situation was quite tense now, Sherri didn't dwell on it.Lloyd was relentless, pointing at Adrian and roaring, "Sherri is mine! If you want to take her away from me, then you'll have to duel with me!""You're talking nonsense!" Sherri also became angry and, without hesitation, jumped up from the sofa.After rebuking him, she realized that her behavior was exceedingly unladylike and would bring shame to her family. She blushed, covered her mouth with embarrassment, and glanced at Adrian, wondering if this would ruin her image in his eyes."What's going on here?" A man in the Obscuran warrior attire stood out with his towering stature as he approached. Notably, he bore a saber at his waist, a sight quite uncommon in the current Leafall.Ever since Quintin assumed control
Sigmund instantly drew his saber from his waist.For him, going to the battlefield would be a difficult task. After all, when it came to real combat, his legs would go weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have surrendered.Still, dealing with a young man around 20 years old, especially one without any significant background, was not difficult for him at all!Even if the man had an influential background, so what? Standing beside him was the son of the newly appointed governor of Leafall. If something happened, it would be his responsibility.Approaching Adrian with his blade, Sigmund almost put the blade to Adrian's neck.How could Adrian let someone put a weapon to his neck? He stood up and dodged Sigmund's attack."Do you want to fight me?" Adrian asked in a chilling tone.Sigmund smiled coldly. Fight with this guy from Silverboa City? That wasn't a good idea!No matter what background he had, the people of the Obscura City wouldn't dare to lay hands on someone from Silverboa City wi
But if these two individuals were the son of the Governor of Leafall and an unidentified person from Silverboa City, it would be a headache for them."Don't mind me! It’s your daughter's birthday banquet. Let's have a duel between warriors to make the celebration more lively, shall we?" Sigmund said cruelly.He didn't intend to kill Adrian. After all, he was from Silverboa City. But swords and sabers couldn’t differentiate that. If Adrian got injured in some way and spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair, it wouldn't be his fault, right? Hence, the biggest problem now was how to get Adrian to agree to this challenge. Others thought Adrian was afraid because he hadn't spoken. Now standing in front of him was the captain of the Leafall guard, an eighth-level expert, and beside him was the governor's son. From both individual strength and background, it seemed like he was at a disadvantage. Naturally, if Adrian surrendered, no one would find it strange!But the next moment, somet
"How dare you!" Sigmund shouted.Although many people knew him as a coward who only knew how to surrender, he did not have much choice in that situation since anyone who did not surrender was doomed. In order to survive, he had to surrender. However, it did not mean he lacked courage. Surrendering was a means of staying alive, and staying alive meant the chance for a better future.For someone willing to endure humiliation to survive, he would only yield to those who were stronger and had higher status than him. He would never take those ordinary people seriously, and Adrian happened to be someone he could bully in his eyes. After hearing Adrian's belittling words, he roared, "Since you've decided to accept my challenge, then you can't blame me for whatever happens next!" He then rushed toward Adrian with the saber in his hand."What a piece of trash!" Adrian said.Even though Adrian was using the Silverboan language, Sigmund understood him perfectly and was enraged. Just as
Adrian held the Divine Frost Slayer Blade in his hands as he asked the question, stunning Llyod greatly. He had not expected Adrian to be a Grandmaster—even 100 of him would not stand a chance against Adrian."I... I didn't mean it that way..." Llyod stammered.Adrian chuckled, intending to teach Llyod a lesson. He wanted to show him that even as governor's son, he was still just trash in this world.Just then, someone entered through the entrance of the banquet hall. It was a middle-aged man dressed in formal attire. Even though he had gray hair gracing his temples, his eyes were sharp—individuals like him were often more complex than they seemed."Who's bullying my son?" the man asked as he entered. A dozen young men in formal attire followed him, each carrying various gifts."Uh... Mr. Ivan, things aren't what you think. It's just a minor dispute between young people!" Herald said as he nervously walked up to him.Their relationship had been fairly amicable before, but Ivan ha
Herald knew he could not afford to miss a key opportunity for the prosperity of their family, even though he cherished his daughter."No! I don't agree! Have you even asked for my opinion?" Sherri shouted. She had not expected her birthday party to turn into this."Sherri, I understand you're still young, so I won't force you. But you and my son have known each other for over a decade now. You both should be very familiar with each other. You can trust him!" Ivan said firmly, "So, let's set the date for three years from now. Let's proceed with the engagement tonight!" Sherri blushed with anger.Just when she was about to speak, Llyod beat her to it. "Sherri, rest assured. I'll definitely treat you well.""Sherri, why don't you just be with Llyod? It's good for both your families and for you!" Hilary chimed in, looking amused.She knew Sherri was a rebellious girl at school, and that her rebellion was fueled by her desire to break free from her family's control. They wanted her t
