Adrian's days returned to their usual calm.But a few days later, he heard an urgent knocking at his door. The intensity and urgency of the sound made Adrian's heart skip a beat, and he felt that something might have happened. He immediately set aside what he was doing and hurried to open the door.Lying at the entrance was Zector Kreig, who was covered in blood and looking as if he was at death's door. Seeing him in such a state caused a chill to run through Adrian's heart. After all, Zector was no ordinary person. He was a powerful person, and very few people in this world could fight him. Adrian wondered what kind of opponent could inflict such grievous injuries on him.Adrian quickly helped Zector inside and began to clean his wounds. "Who did this to you, Zector?" he asked."Mr. Adrian, I-I'm sorry… I-I’ve failed you," Zector stammered."Don't worry about it. You're not just my subordinate, but also my friend. Tell me, what happened?"Whoever harmed Zector was challenging Ad

Following Adrian's pointing finger, Zector saw a collapsed mountainside nearby. Adrian approached it, gently moving the rubble away to reveal a narrow, recently excavated passage."A passage?" Zector was bewildered."I told you the Sword Demon's strength is beyond what you imagined," Adrian remarked.Shocked and unsure of how to respond, Zector bowed and said, "Please punish me, Mr. Adrian. It was my incompetence that led to this—"Adrian raised his hand for silence, then gestured for Zector to stand. "This isn't your fault. Although the Sword Demon escaped, he sustained significant injuries from the sword energy here,” he said."How do you know?" Zector asked."Look at the ground. It's covered in blood. This alone shows he was heavily injured," Adrian explained with a smile."I see," Zector said as he noted the trail of blood that extended from Sword Sanctuary into the dark tunnel. "Should we follow this tunnel to catch him?" he asked.Adrian shook his head and replied, "No. H

Asford was a small town near Sword Sanctuary. Although it was said to be the closest town to Sword Sanctuary, it was located at the foot of the mountain which was tens of miles away. The residents there had led ordinary lives for generations. Therefore, they did not know what had happened in Sword Sanctuary. But of course, the residents were unaware that something unusual had happened. For example, recently, they noticed the animals in the nearby mountains acting strangely. Some that were not commonly seen on the mountainside or at the foot of the mountain could now be seen sporadically. Some rarely-seen birds also hovered around Asford, and some elderly residents believed that this was a sign of impending disaster.One day, the peaceful life of Asford was suddenly disrupted by an unexpected event. A family of three—the Pines—living in the town were killed by an unknown assailant. If it were only a simple murder, then this case would have been written off as a home invasion. However

"Elodie," Toval said sharply, glancing at him. He gestured for Elodie to step aside and keep quiet, then turned back to Adrian. "If you really have a way to help us solve this case, I welcome you to discuss it with us."Toval gestured invitingly and led the way back to the station, and Adrian followed him. At Toval's office, he got Adrian a mug of coffee. "What are your thoughts on this case?" he asked.Adrian replied, "I know this case inside out. I know who the murderer is and when he’ll strike again.""You must be joking. Inspector Toval is the most capable inspector throughout all the nearby cities and towns. You’re saying you know something he doesn't? That's ridiculous," Elodie said, not believing a word."Elodie, you don't need to be here right now. Go attend to your duties," Toval said, giving him a pointed look."But sir..." Elodie looked taken aback."Go," Toval insisted, waving him away.Left with no choice, Elodie gave Adrian one more contemptuous glare before turnin

Aaaahhhh!” Everly let out a piercing scream.The person who broke the wall seemed to become even more excited upon hearing the little girl's scream and let out a sinister chuckle."Everly!" Mia tightly embraced her daughter.As the pair trembled with fear in a corner, the person outside grew more violent. He repeatedly slammed into the door and windows, attempting to break them open."Mommy! Help! Help!" Everly cried as she paled with fear.Though scared too, Mia couldn't retreat with her daughter present. She gritted her teeth and prepared to face whatever was coming.Crash!Finally, the wall of tables and chairs blocking one of the windows came crashing down, and the intruder leaped into the house. The mother and daughter saw that it was a man with towering height. Though they couldn’t see his face due to the dim light, they could sense his murderous aura, and it sent shivers down their spines."Who are you? Please, don't kill us. We're just a poor mother and daughter," Mia b
