He was the type who was always frank about speaking his mind. When he didn’t have a positive feeling about something, he would immediately act against it. Now, most people in the room could feel his aura as if he were a god who could decide a business’s fate.

He would harshly dismiss people’s years of hard work and say their business couldn’t succeed, all because he didn’t see enough potential. But this time, his words seemed aimed at Adrian, his gaze fixed on him, and Adrian knowing that he also returned a fixed gaze to him, with a knowing look that even Gabriel couldn’t ignore.

And yes—he did mean Adrian the most. Though he acted the same way with everyone, Adrian seemed to be his main target for now.

He knew it would sound a bit off if he suddenly told the others that Adrian wasn’t the right choice for them. After all, he was the one who had first brought Adrian up, after seeing how much money Ad

    This sounded too good to be true to Evan, who was attentively listening. He couldn’t believe she just said she’d let him take her points. It wasn’t against the rules to go in groups of more than five for a mission, but people tried to keep it as minimal as possible so they could get enough points from the hunt. If too many people went, it’d be almost useless because the points would be split—except if someone was willing to give their points, just like she had said now. “Wow, are you serious?” Evan asked, trying to be sure he wasn’t hearing something else, or perhaps she meant another thing entirely. Not like he really wanted to hear her say no, though. “My name is Fay. If we must work together, I’d like to know your names as well,” she said as she stretched out her hand to Felix for a shake. Her voice sounded soft but carried confidence, matching the quiet breeze flowing through the open training field around them. Felix looked at her hand and didn’t even make a move. It was alm

  • The Underestimated Ex   Chapter 322

    For some reason, whenever a new member was to be welcomed into the faction, they’d always make sure to put them up against someone strong and test the person’s full strength. In a way, they tended to use this to prove their faction wasn’t weak at all. And beyond that, the people were currently in low spirits. The reason why more people had gathered than usual to watch them test a new member wasn’t because many normally gathered around. Most of them had just lost their best friends and people they saw as family in their last mission. This kind of mission didn’t come often in their system, and it was done to test their strength and remind them they needed to level up and grow stronger. So once in a while, they’d send more dangerous beasts to them like this. Now it had greatly caused the people to feel down, and some were even afraid of ever going out to fight another beast, as the image of their fallen friends was still fresh in their minds. The arena felt heavier than usual, the du

    “Just hope you don’t get too badly injured, friend.” Jax mumbled.He already knew this would not be like other days where Bay would show his strength and get people to respect him more. He’s just too full of pride, unlike Jax.He could really be said to be a good leader. He always kept things fair with the people and took them like real family. He cared for all of them equally and would always be nice to them, even when they sometimes didn’t seem like they really believed in his true strength. Jax only goes all out whenever they’re on a tough mission.Unlike others who’d come to a faction and then leave to another—maybe there’s a little argument or misunderstanding and they feel they can no longer remain in a faction—they’d ask the leader that they want out of the faction. And the leader would have to let them go to not cause any form of war between factions. It’s the least they’d ever need.But for people like Jax and Bay, they’ve been in th

    Jax walked up to Evan and stretched his hand to shake him. It took every ounce in Evan’s body not to voice out what was on his mind, as he couldn’t imagine holding on if Jax tried what he did to Felix. Of course, he knew that for Jax to openly say Felix was strong, it meant he had used almost all his strength, and when he saw no reaction from Felix, he believed Felix truly was strong. But the problem was, because they were friends, he might just as well try to see if Evan was as strong as his friend too. However, all his fear washed away in an instant as he only felt a light shake. “What’s the name?” Jax asked. “Evan,” he replied. “Okay, you two come with me for a little spar,” Jax said as he led the way, taking them to one of the rooms they had passed when coming here earlier. As for Linda, she headed off to a room just behind the office where she had h

    Felix isn’t the only one that’s on a mission here in the Bree family. Adrian had sent him and some others as well. He indeed made it all look as though he was setting them free from the duty of serving in the kingdom, but in reality these people were his most trusted team and friends, and he had confidence in them that they could make it through this mission. And the reason he didn’t let Steve in on this plan is because Steve was acting more like someone who’s strictly for the role of playing protective guardian to Adrian, so he felt like Steve not knowing would only help his plan work more efficiently. Adrian needed to be sure that no one else knew of his plan. This is because many years back everyone had believed that Mr. Bree was dead and forgotten in fact, but then only for Adrian to find out about this secretive island, and now from his investigation through his team that’s there now, he found out that Mr. B

    Emily went ahead and explained herself, that she only intended to check to know where things went wrong with his Kareth ability, so that at least if she was able to know what the problem was, she’d be able to find a way to reverse whatever was the cause and help him get back his powers. She said it in a convincing tone. And at this point Adrian just didn’t know if it was actually right that he was angry at her in the first place. He could understand Steve’s reason for acting this way and inviting Emily without him knowing; it was because he wanted to help him. He truly could say that he appreciated the fact that he wanted to help him even when he was not asking for it. Maybe I was not supposed to tell him about my Kareth in the first place, Adrian thought. Finally, he resolved his anger. Right now, he still could trust that Emily was an ally. “I hope you understan
