"I've just returned. Rest for now, we'll leave here soon," Adrian said.Thobias was slightly taken aback. He approached Adrian and carefully examined Lillian. All her injuries had indeed improved significantly. With a smile, he said, "Not only are you renowned for your military achievements, but you also seem quite adept in the field of medicine! However, I still advise you to remain here. Let us handle the search. After all, a hospital environment is more conducive to Ms. Lillian's recovery."Thobias was still trying his best to keep Lillian here, but since Adrian was suspicious of Thobias' intentions, he would not allow that to happen. "No need to worry. I'll be taking her with me," Adrian said.Thobias fell into silence. He would not mind killing Adrian right here, but Adrian's unpredictable strength and his immense contributions made him think twice. If he killed Adrian here on Cras Island, it could have repercussions for him.Resignedly, Thobias sighed and said, "It seems like
Upon hearing this, Adrian turned to look at Lillian lying on the hospital bed. Compared to Wallace's assessment, Adrian had more trust in Lillian's words regarding the Celestrians. After all, Wallace could be quite erratic at times. Lillian nodded in agreement and said, "Seven days ago, we suddenly found many local government officials around us. They claimed to have noticed that the Celestrians were keeping an eye on us and might take action against us, but we suspected that it was Rozi who had been discovered by the Celestrians again, so we accepted the protection of the local government forces."At that time, we didn't suspect them. It's because of this that we relaxed our guard. We thought we were safe under the local government’s protection, but when the Celestrians arrived, the officials were too weak to withstand them. The Celestrians defeated them and took Rozi away.”Wallace sighed. "If we knew that the Celestrians had found us again, we would’ve escaped. We were tricked b
Unlike his father, Kevin seemed more highly experienced to deal with Adrian and his companions. If he could only wipe away the faint air of arrogance on himself, his act would seem more natural.After getting a brief rundown of the situation, Adrian knew that they would likely have to start from Thobias if they wanted to find Rozi. Therefore, he did not show any resistance in his interaction with Kevin."Mr. Adrian, were there many warriors in Obscura? It must’ve been very dangerous for you to conquer Leafall with so few people," Kevin said.Adrian smiled and shook his head. "There were indeed many warriors in Obscura, but I was fortunate not to encounter any true experts. In Leafall, there was only one Grandmaster, and he was the type who was just waiting to die. I managed to kill him without much trouble."Kevin fell into a pensive silence. After a while, he continued, "May I know what level you are at now, Mr. Adrian? You know, I'm just an ordinary person, but I'm quite curious
"Celestria has fallen, so how could it have a princess? The reason I want to find her is because no one should touch anything and anyone under my wing without my consent,” Adrian said coldly.Kevin suddenly realized his mistake and shook his head. "My apologies. Indeed, Celestria has fallen, so there couldn't possibly be a princess, but there's another issue. It won't be easy for you to find her, Mr. Adrian. After all, their organization is very secretive, and those targeted by them are difficult to locate.""It sounds to me that you know where to find them," Adrian replied."I don't," Kevin said, "but I can create an opportunity for you to make contact with them. Do you want to hear about it?""Really? I'm all ears, then," Adrian said."The government of Cras Island is going to hold a party tonight, and some merchants from Celestria will be attending. They’ve been doing business with Silverboa before their country fell, so they can be trusted. As Celestrians and wealthy merchants
For the time being, Adrian halted the discussions of plans with Lillian and Wallace. As they chatted, they steered clear of topics that involved the Cras Island government. The only thing he spoke of was what they would do next."Are we really not leaving this hospital?" Lillian asked.During Adrian's absence, Wallace and she had to make decisions on their own, but many issues were challenging without Adrian's help. They had faced quite a bit of hardship during that time.Adrian shook his head and whispered, "We will leave, but not right now. As of this moment, our goal is to make the Cras Island government relax their vigilance toward us as much as possible. As for what will happen next, we'll have to wait for tonight's party."Adrian smirked. He was confident that Kevin's inquiry about his strength held hidden intentions. Therefore, he knew that something would happen at the party. Perhaps they might even try to attempt an assassination. However, nobody knew his true strength exc
A fierce gleam flashed through Kevin's eyes as if he had made a decision. "Don't think you're so great just because you're a level eight at such a young age," he muttered under his breath before catching up to Adrian.As Adrian entered the building, he felt like he had stepped into a different world. The situation inside was different compared to the serene atmosphere outside. The hall was grandiose and filled with people. He scanned the crowd and noticed several Celestrians wearing vibrant attire and had confident smiles on their faces, indicating they were not ordinary. Over the years, Celestrians had faced much discrimination in most parts of Silverboa. Yet, these individuals not only avoided such treatment but also garnered a degree of respect from the Silverboans."These Celestrians are the business giants in our city. They have a presence not only in the government but also in almost every aspect of life in Cras Island and neighboring regions. They are like gods of wealth to th
"Come, Mr. Adrian, let's have a drink!" Patio stepped forward enthusiastically, raising his glass to toast Adrian.However, Adrian was not inclined to indulge himself. Instead, he stared at Patio and asked, "You are a Celestrian. Your country was destroyed by Silverboa, but yet you admire the soldiers of Silverboa?" Everyone around was stunned, including Kevin. Meanwhile, the face of the man behind Patio sank. It was obvious that Adrian was taunting them. However, Patio remained calm.After a moment of surprise, Patio stroked his beard and shook his head. "You're mistaken, Mr. Adrian. Although I'm a Celestrian, I've long integrated into Silverboa. I consider myself a Silverboan now.""I see. Then do you happen to know anything about the Celestrian Restorationists, Mr. Patio?" Adrian asked.Kevin shook his head in dismay. According to his plan, he would first introduce Adrian to Patio and have the two make merry before delving into the real business to avoid offending Patio. Howev
"Kevin, it makes sense that they did those things since they’re from Celestria. But you’re a native of Silverboa City. If you get involved, your outcome will only be more tragic than theirs. You need to be cautious," Adrian said coldly, eyeing the other party.Meeting Adrian's gaze, Kevin felt a bit weak in the legs. Before he could snap out of it, Adrian had already left the banquet hall. After Adrian departed, it took Kevin a full two to three minutes to regain his composure."How dare a lowly commoner speak to me like this! Are you threatening me, Adrian?" Kevin glared in the direction Adrian had left, his eyes filled with hatred.Patio approached Kevin seriously and said, "Kevin, this guy is a bit different from what you described.""He was testing you. Your reaction has already made him suspect certain things, even implicating me." Kevin expressed dissatisfaction.Adrian's test was obvious. After all, under normal circumstances, a stranger wouldn't display such obvious hostil
