Adrian saw a middle-aged man who sported elegantly arched brows and bright blue eyes. There was also a golden hairpin on his head that quivered slightly with each movement he made. Adrian did not know the guy, but he could tell the latter was a polite person. Even if they were foes, courtesy seemed to be the order of the day."I'm honored that you have come down here to welcome me, Mr. Urias. However, I'm not here for a social visit. I'm just here to ask a few questions," Adrian said as he went for a handshake.Claude was surprised. Adrian had never seen Urias, yet he recognized the person at a glance. He stood behind Adrian, remaining silent.With a smile on his face, Urias shook Adrian’s hand and said, "I apologize on my apprentice's behalf, Mr. Adrian. He can be quite unruly at times. Today's encounter will serve as a valuable lesson for him."Adrian’s brows went up. 'Rather than blaming me, he's surprisingly understanding,’ he thought. However, he refused to believe this and wa

Just when Urias was about to say something, Irvin came over holding the Wyrmstrike in his hand.Irvin said indignantly, "Sir, my sword has been damaged. You must seek justice for me." He turned to look at Adrian angrily.Adrian shrugged indifferently and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" "You have to compensate me for damaging my sword!" Irvin roared."Shut up!" Urias said through gritted teeth. Just now, he asked Irvin to send Claude away. He had not expected Irvin to fail the task. "Have you not given me enough trouble?!" Urias snarled, stunning Irvin. Urias had always shown Irvin great affection and gentleness. Today was the first time he raised his voice at him, and Irvin was startled. In his heart, he wondered, 'Why is Mr. Urias letting them go? Wouldn't that damage our faction’s reputation?'Adrian ignored Irvin, turned back to Urias, and asked, "So, are you agreeable to my earlier proposal of issuing a warrant for Shay?”"Sure," Urias replied readily. Afte

"That's right," Claude chimed in, "I would never do something that wicked!”Juleen refused to believe them. "Hah! No one would ever admit their wrongdoings. You must have figured out that my family obtained an extraordinary herb, and that's why you resorted to such despicable means!”Adrian knew Claude very well. There was no way he would resort to killing to gain something. The Randell Manor massacre was definitely someone else’s handiwork. However, if this girl managed to escape unharmed, it meant that she knew a lot."Ms. Juleen, I can assure you that Claude has nothing to do with the massacre of your family," Adrian said. Claude was stunned. Adrian's sincere words instantly eliminated all the resentment and jealousy in his heart. He trusted Adrian, and he certainly could not miss out on such a straightforward friend."Thank you, Adrian,” Claude said.Juleen got up from the ground. She bit her lip and her eyes glistened with tears. "Then who's the murderer?""Get into the ca

Adrian opened his eyes. He had just found the solution for Rozi's aging issue, and now it felt out of reach again.“Are you serious?” Adrian asked."Of course, I'm serious," Juleen said, "Why would I lie to you?"Claude sighed. The Green Plum Grass was hard to come by, and the Randells should have sought advice from him when they obtained such a treasure. "You've wasted a precious treasure,” he chided. "It's none of your business!" Juleen rolled her eyes at Claude.But the next second, she began weeping. It went without saying that she understood that the tragedy that happened to Randall Manor was likely due to the Green Plum Grass. Adrian collected himself. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch and such valuable things could not be easily obtained. "Who else knows that your family has the Green Plum Grass?" he questioned."No one knows." Juleen pouted. "I now believe that Claude isn't the murderer. He has no knowledge of this information." She glanced at Claude

Adrian knew that Juleen had misunderstood him and gestured for her to sit down before continuing, "I want to know everything about Randell Manor, and I hope you will tell me the whole truth."Juleen sat back down, casting a wry glance at Marissa standing behind Adrian. She felt particularly displeased with this girl who stuck to Adrian like glue."I can talk, but..." Juleen paused and looked at Marissa.Adrian quickly grasped Juleen's meaning and patted Marissa, "Go outside and guard the door. Don't let anyone near the study. I need space to talk with Ms. Juleen.""She's trying to seduce you!" Marissa exclaimed, "I won’t be able to save you if you fall for her trap.""Don't worry," Adrian said calmly, "Even though Ms. Juleen is pretty, I'm married. I promise to never betray my wife."Marissa left happily.Juleen did not believe Adrian's words. She was determined to make him fall in love with her and to never leave her."All the Randells are members of the Greenhursts, and all o
