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
The number of people was significant, and they were formidable. The lineup was substantial; even an average eighth-level would be in dire straits when facing such a situation.There were at least ten eighth-levels, along with numerous skilled experts aiding them. Even for an expert at the eighth level, the only viable option would be to flee from this place as quickly as possible when confronted with such a scenario.But Adrian was different; he had already detected the presence of the others. Although running away should have been the best chance for escape, this option was never on his list of choices."Mr. Caleb, that guy has discovered us," said a man dressed in a gray robe, appearing hunched and sinister. He stood next to a sturdy and tall man, both of them concealed within the forest's shadows. Alongside them were a large number of warriors, who kept a vigilant watch on Adrian.The one addressed as Mr. Caleb turned to the sinister-looking man and chuckled softly. Stepping out
Caleb’s suggestion for Adrian to abandon the Divine Frost Slayer Blade was nothing but a taunt."You want me to leave my sword behind? Are you prepared to part with your weapon?" Adrian challenged."Indeed, you won't give up your weapon either. Now I understand why you've been able to eliminate so many of our Morning Star members," Caleb remarked."Morning Star? You're from Morning Star?" Adrian was slightly surprised; the situation seemed different from what he had expected."Indeed I am, but I'm hired by the Celestria Restorationists. So, your assumption is correct. Don't panic now," Caleb said, gazing at Adrian as if he had already seen through his thoughts.Adrian smiled faintly. Panic? Such an emotion would never surface within him. "Let's begin, then," he said.With these casual words from Adrian, he drew the Divine Frost Slayer Blade. Whether it was Morning Star or Celestria, they were all adversaries to him. And in the face of adversaries, there was only one outcome—death
"Release them, and I'll let you deal with me however you like," Caleb proposed, his tone less fierce than before. As he spoke, his blade remained sheathed, signaling a move he was preparing."If I kill them, you'll still die. You’re not worthy enough to negotiate with me," Adrian replied with a slight smile.Caleb frowned. He had intended to intimidate Adrian with this move, which would also be his final one, but he realized that Adrian's strength far surpassed his own. It seemed that no matter what he did, everyone tonight was doomed to perish."We know many secrets. If you want to know… Ack..." The speaker suddenly choked, blood spilling from his mouth. Shock crossed his face as he fell to the ground, silenced."What I want to know, I'll find out for myself. Don't try to threaten me," Adrian declared."Everyone, attack together!"Whether in Obscura City or Silverboa City, anyone who opposed Adrian would eventually discover they were facing someone extraordinary. He was like a g
But Caleb dared not voice this. If he admitted his ignorance, would Adrian simply kill him on the spot?Adrian waved his hand dismissively. "Forget it. Just go."With that, Caleb departed in silence. Adrian emerged from the forest and cast a contemptuous glance at the brightly illuminated Remington mansion, smirking faintly. He glanced down at the Divine Frost Slayer Blade in his hand."Do you desire to consume this blade?" he asked the sword.However, the Hellblade emanated an intensely violent will as if angrily roaring at the Divine Frost Slayer Blade.Adrian shook his head. "Seems like it's not willing to let you consume it."The Divine Frost Slayer Blade sensed Adrian's reluctance for it to consume the other blade, and it became agitated. The swords hanging on both sides of Adrian began to hum. Now, he seemed like a walking battlefield of hellish weapons. Even ordinary individuals who approached too closely might be overwhelmed by the frenzied aura of the swords."That's en
Someone approached the guard who had led the interception against Adrian earlier and quietly asked, "Captain, they've left. What should we do?""Notify Mr. Thobias in ten minutes.""Why ten minutes?"The captain of the surveillance team only sighed in response. The others hesitated for a moment, likely understanding their captain's thoughts, and they all looked regretful. It was evident to everyone who had contributed to the country between Adrian and Thobias. However, Adrian was now facing pressure from the Governor's Mansion due to certain circumstances. As members of the Governor's Mansion, they didn't want that to happen, so they could only provide as much convenience as possible. For instance, delaying the notification to Thobias for a little while, allowing Adrian and the others to get as far away as possible.*Ten minutes later, Kevin frowned. "We've alerted the enemy," he said, looking at his father.Thobias sat in a large chair, stroking his chin, lost in thought. This
