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
Thobias' hand trembled as he turned to his son, gesturing for him to open the door. Kevin was trembling all over, unaware of what had happened outside. But under his father's intimidating gaze, he had no choice but to comply. As he tremblingly opened the door, the sight before him almost made him vomit his dinner.An old man sat between the two bodies on the floor, a dagger dripping with blood in his hand. A deep wound on his neck gushed blood like boiling water.Patio and another merchant were already dead, but the old man named Moran was barely alive. "Do you know why you two weren't killed?" He looked at Thobias and Kevin.Thobias tentatively asked, "Because we are still useful to Celestria?"The old man smiled. "Because you don't know the exact location of our organization."Kevin frowned, glancing at his father subconsciously. The guilt on his father's face made Moran's dying face turn pale.Moran widened his eyes and struggled to get up, probably wanting to continue killing
Although there were many speculations about the Stormwatch Legion's actions from the outside world, Adrian and his group paid little attention to it."The Remingtons are like timid mice," Wallace remarked disdainfully as they walked down the street.Adrian didn't need to think twice to understand why Thobias had taken such actions. It was undoubtedly because something Adrian had done at Thobias' banquet had unnerved them. As they passed by the Stormwatch Legion, Adrian frowned, appearing to contemplate something. "Have you found out the addresses of those Celestrian merchants?" he asked after leaving the hospital, prompting the group to begin investigating the residences of Patio and the others. Having learned from the party that they were likely associated with the Celestria Restorationists, Adrian focused their efforts on finding Rozi through them."We have. These Celestrians reside in Phoenix Hill Manor," Lillian replied.As well-known merchants in Cras Island, discovering the
Adrian had sent the guard in to report just to test the waters. With the current critical situation, gaining entry to the Governor’s Mansion wouldn't be easy."What should we do now?" Lillian asked, but Adrian responded with silence. He had no other viable options at the moment. They could force their way in, which was not out of the question, but it would result in casualties. Stirring up trouble with the Stormwatch Legion in a crucial location like Cras Island would only complicate matters further. It wouldn't just be about rescuing Rozi; it would escalate into more complex issues.‘We're too distant from the Stormwatchers, and Ines is even less useful now. Do we have to find a way to sneak in?’ Adrian pondered.Meanwhile, in the Governor’s Mansion, three people sat in the reception hall engaged in conversation: Thobias, Kevin, and Gaius."Hahaha. We owe you thanks for this, Mr. Gaius. Otherwise, my son and I would be in a bind." Thobias chuckled, offering praise to the big-beard
"Working with the Celestrians?" Gaius rose from his seat, his expression growing serious as he scrutinized the father and son before him. Though he had suspected as much, hearing the words directly from them was still shocking.Thobias chuckled lightly and reassured Gaius, "Indeed. This is no jest."Gaius was taken aback. "Then you...""Mr. Gaius, are you only realizing this now? It seems I've overestimated you," Thobias deflected abruptly, shifting the focus onto Gaius.Gaius wore a pensive expression. He had sensed something amiss long ago. However, Thobias was a lord, and confronting him directly over suspicions wasn't an option. Even with military power at his disposal, he doubted he could match Thobias in a direct confrontation."What does today's matter have to do with your collaboration with the Celestrians?" Gaius inquired, having rushed over upon receiving the notice. Yet, Thobias had never explained the situation to him.Thobias and Kevin exchanged a glance, both sighin
