Adrian's gaze was sharp. The moment the silver needle was drawn, it reflected the sunlight straight into his eyes."Urias, make your third move,” he said."I concede.” Urias believed there was no need to continue the fight, fearing for his life if that were to pass. "I won't meddle in your affairs."Payton was in despair. He had planned to strike Adrian during the third move, but now the opportunity was gone, and he was sure Adrian would not let him off."Sir, I can help you!" Payton urged."Idiot!" Urias scolded, thoroughly disgusted with his apprentice. He would not have been embarrassed if not for him. "What exactly did you do that night?" he questioned.Payton, in pain, tried to confront Adrian. But as he moved, pain shot through his legs. "I didn't do anything. All I did was to try and please Juleen!" he answered."Hmph!" Juleen saw through his true colors and believed he was lying. "I'll find out the truth even if you refuse to spill it."Urias took out a pill. "This is

Adrian crouched down and asked patiently, "How does one go about joining this hunting group?""You probably don't qualify," Payton replied, too scared to look at Adrian. "We only accept people with our skin color. That is the purpose of this group—to protect our interests."Urias became even more upset. Matson had controlled everything in the Greenhursts, and everyone was willing to follow him, leaving Urias essentially powerless. Thankfully, Adrian had killed Matson."You're despicable!" Adrian was beginning to understand. He had thought Four Great Factions had collaborated in destroying the Randell family, but now he saw that was not the case."Matson was one of you, wasn't he?""Sort of," Payton answered weakly, "He was a high-level member involved in their plans, while I’m just a small fry who had just entered their ranks."Adrian took a deep breath. The hunting group was not only widespread but also powerful, gaining support by purporting to protect the interests of those fr

The person who came was Bucky.He had slept well the night before and woke up to find Adrian missing. Feeling guilty, he knew Adrian had gone to Greenhurst Mountain and immediately followed on horseback. Unfamiliar with the road, Bucky had taken a wrong turn. After asking several people, he finally found the right path and rode on to the Greenhursts. He became alert upon spotting a large pit ahead and slowed down. "Sir Adrian, did you fall down there?" Bucky called out from a distance, cautious not to approach, knowing that there could be an ambush.Adrian's spirits lifted upon hearing Bucky’s voice. He jumped onto the rock, stopping Bucky's advance. "Turn around and go!""Okay!" Bucky turned the horse around skillfully.Adrian immediately hopped on behind him, urging, "Go!"The men in black reacted too late. By the time they emerged from their hiding spots, Adrian and Bucky had already galloped a hundred meters away, beyond the reach of their arrows.Bucky, frowning, asked w

Adrian hid behind a tree. ‘Axel looks fixated on the dragon bone under the bush. Is he trying to steal it?’ he wondered.Axel then reached out for the dragon bone, but the windows to the study suddenly opened, revealing Claude’s face.“Are you experienced in removing poisons, Mr. Axel?” Claude asked.“Ugh, you b*stard!” Axel patted his chest Upset, he scolded, “You scared me. Why were you being so sneaky?”“Were you—”Axel shushed Claude just as the latter was about to speak, gesturing him to not alert Lionel.Claude shut his mouth right away.‘Interesting.’ Adrian considered exposing Axel right then and there. Watching the pair so in sync, he could not tell which of them truly belonged to the Wolf Fangs.The pair were communicating with just their eyes, and it seemed to be going well. Adrian could not guess what they were talking about.A familiar voice then came from behind Adrian. “Why are you hiding behind a tree, Battle Warrior?”Adrian turned around to find Joe who was

Lionel said, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’ve already found the antidote. We don’t need the dragon bone any longer. Thanks for your help, I guess?”Axel shuddered. He found Lionel terribly annoying. He never expected Lionel to be so capable. This fact made Axel furious.“Go to hell!” Axel shouted.Whoosh! Whoosh!Though Axel was heavy, he proved pretty agile. He retrieved a sword from his waist and stabbed at Lionel’s throat, showing no mercy. Unfortunately for him, Adrian moved faster than he did.Adrian had been watching him and knew he was going to attack Lionel. Adrian grabbed hold of Axel’s arm and twisted it, effectively locking him in place.“You're trying to kill Mr. Lionel?” Adrian stared daggers at Axel. “You’re not worthy.”Axel remained calm. Since he failed to achieve his goal, he kicked Adrian in an attempt to crush the latter’s chest. He thought he had the upper hand in a close-range fight.“I’ll kill you since you’re asking for it!” Axel said that viciousl
