It was evident that the girl wasn't an assassin; her demeanor and casual attire set her apart from the formally dressed women in the crowd. Clad in just a long shirt, she stood out even more, contrasting with Adrian's attire.Approaching Adrian, she whispered something softly, prompting a brief hesitation from Adrian before he nodded in understanding. Relief washed over the girl as she took hold of his hand. He had noticed others at the banquet also searching for someone, besides himself.A group of muscular men, more intimidating than the guards, had evidently located their target after scanning the crowd. Making their way toward Adrian, they disrupted the harmonious atmosphere of the banquet.The attendees, wealthy and noble, viewed the Unicorn Society with disdain, considering them merely a group of thugs. The presence of the guards raised suspicions among some. Since none had brought their own guards to the engagement ceremony, many wondered if the Unicorn Society had ulterior m

This was not a simple matter for her or Adrian, but the young lady had no other choice. If time had been sufficient, she would have pleaded with Adrian and had him play the role of her lover. Unfortunately, judging from his previous attitude, this seemed impossible. Yet, he spoke those somewhat ambiguous words, surprising everyone present."The relationship between your miss and me? That's for her to answer." Adrian smirked, his expression slightly smug. His words heightened the surrounding people's curiosity, making this engagement ceremony more intriguing than ever."He...He's my lover," the girl admitted, blushing involuntarily. Though she had planned this beforehand and even considered asking Adrian to play the role of her lover, confessing that a man was her lover proved challenging for someone who had never had intimate contact with any man in over the twenty years she had been alive.Adrian smiled, seemingly unsurprised by Lottie's declaration."Lover?" The banquet guests er

Events had unfolded beyond Blake’s expectations. The leader of the Universe Brotherhood came to cause them trouble. However, he had to get rid of Adrian first. Blake turned to Lottie and said, "Ms. Lottie, this engagement ceremony was arranged just for you. Is it appropriate for you to act like this?" He was miffed by Lottie's behavior, but he managed to restrain his anger. He was one of the titans of the underworld, and Lottie's actions were simply a humiliation to him."You agreed to an engagement with my father without my consent. That's even more inappropriate," Lottie countered. She held a negative opinion of Blake, so she had no intention of showing him any respect.Seeing how firm Lottie was, Blake turned to Adrian and asked, "Young man, who do you think you are?" "Old man, do you not know who I am?" Adrian asked back while pulling Lottie closer to him. Lottie's face flushed. However, since they had already started acting, she had no choice but to play along.Blake clen

"Are you Adrian Xander?" Terry asked.Terry was a calmer man than Blake in such situations. When Adrian nodded, Terry's legs went weak. He walked over to Lottie and pulled her away from Adrian. After learning Adrian's identity, he discarded the thought of making Adrian marry his daughter. His only thought was to survive under Adrian's control.The reception hall suddenly burst open as an elegantly dressed young man barged in. "Lottie, you already have someone in your heart?! I want to duel him!" he declared.It was none other than Blake's son, Aran Daniels. He seemed unaware of what was going on. He learned from the guests that Lottie had another man in her heart. This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for Aran, and he thought of the simplest and most brutal solution: to kill Adrian. As the youngest level eight in Sandstone, he believed in his strength. Therefore, he did not think he would lose to Adrian in a one-on-one fight. Unfortunately, he was also misled by the guests outs

After all, Sid was not a fool. If they wanted to disable the defense barriers, they had to first break through the defensive forces he had established around the barriers, and there were no other forces in the city that could contend with the army.However, it was not entirely impossible either. As the governor of Sandstone for twenty years, Terry was shrewd enough to see through Adrian's plan. After some thought, he turned to Blake and he took on a horrified expression."You want us to help you? Are you saying that the ones who will act will be...""You are a smart person." Adrian stood up from his chair, looking at Terry with amusement. "That's right! The only forces within Sandstone I can use right now are the members of underground organizations.”"But why would they ever obey your orders to attack the barriers?" Terry asked. "They don't need to. I just need them to play a role in distraction," Adrian said. Terry thought of some of the news that had come from Leafall and re
