Adrian raced toward Medicis Manor.Hendrick, who was working in the herb field, immediately shouted when he saw Adrian, "Where’s Arlo?""I don’t know!" Adrian did not stop and charged on.Hendrick was puzzled, but just as he was about to ask further, Adrian had already passed the field and showed no intention of engaging in conversation.The horse had not even come to a complete stop when Adrian and Rozi both jumped off it and headed straight for Medicis Manor. The first thing that caught their eyes was the resident watchdog that was lying dead on the ground.Rozi exclaimed in shock, "Someone attacked Medicis Manor! Let’s head to study right away!""No!" Adrian had figured it out. What Shaquille wanted was the herbs and to warn them not to act recklessly while he was at it. "We have to go to the cellar. We can’t let them get the herbs."Rozi was frustrated. Lionel had regarded the study as a part of his life and loved studying the ancient tomes there. He had claimed that the tom

“So, Hennessy’s the real perpetrator behind those deaths!" Adrian gnashed his teeth in anger. "I won’t let him get away with this. Anyone who dares to plot against me will pay the price!""Save me!" Igor pleaded feebly.Adrian picked Igor up and rushed to the Thousand Herbs Study. Lionel would be able to save Igor. However, the study was empty with not a soul in sight. Even after calling out several times, there was no response.‘Now what?’ Adrian put Igor down and pulled the silver needle out from Igor’s chest.The tip of the needle was black, and though only a few short moments had passed, Igor’s life was already hanging by a thread."This is the only method I can think of." After saying this, Adrian dug a hole under the peony bush and placed Igor in it. He then turned to Rozi. "Stay here and watch over him. I’m going to find Mr. Lionel.""Please be careful." Rozi was worried as their opponent this time around was ruthless. The person would do anything and would not give up so

The men panicked. Now that they were cornered, they could only wait for an opportunity to escape."We won’t tell you anything," one of them said, "If you have the guts, come at us. We’ll see who walks out of here in one piece."They wanted to continue to resist, but this was not an option in Adrian’s books.Adrian looked at Claude. "Go help Lionel. He’s injured."Claude was shocked. Bucky had been protecting Lionel, so did they lose to those men?"I’ll go find them!" Claude hurried off.Seeing Claude trying to leave, one of the men took out a bow and arrow from behind his back and took a shot at Claude. Adrian saw this, and of course, would not allow it to happen. He leaped into the air, caught the arrow, and flung it back at the shooter."You people are lawless!" Adrian rebuked, "Why turn to such means to kill an apothecary?!"Stab!The shooter got hit by the arrow that Adrian had thrown back. He dropped off the roof and landed on the ground.The other two men trembled in fe

"I’m cruel?" Adrian scoffed. "You lot came here to destroy Medicis Manor. I was simply defending myself."Quinn fell silent. Bucky then came up to them, "Impressive as always, sir! You managed to capture a live one. Please, allow me to interrogate him.”"Sure." Adrian threw Quinn to Bucky.As long as Rozi was safe, everything else was not a problem. He was not scared of these people since they did not even have the guts to face him directly. Bucky looked Quinn up and down, then he was stunned. "Mr. Quinn? What're you doing here?""Let me go and my father will reward you generously," Quinn urged, "He might even give you a place within the Langley family.""Hah!" Buckley sneered, unable to believe that Quinn was trying to bribe him.The last thing Bucky wanted to do was betray Adrian though as he had great confidence in Adrian and was determined to follow him."Thanks but no thanks, Mr. Quinn. I'm just a lowly homeless guy. You treated me like a dog in the past and barely even

Quinn's eyes nearly popped out of his sockets. Adrian indeed was more formidable than he had imagined. He desperately suppressed his fear and pleaded pitifully, “I've confessed everything. Can you please let me go? That’s the only way for me to return home."Adrian shook his head. He was determined not to be Shaquille's scapegoat. If Quinn was just one of Shaquille's pawns, things might get troublesome if he let Quinn go. "I'm worried you'll be silenced to cover up the crime,” Adrian said."Really?" Quinn covered his chest and found that his wound had already scabbed over. "What medicine did you use on me?""I'm not telling." Adrian did not have time to bother with Quinn right now.After the men in black had been buried, Rozi hurriedly ran over. "Adrian, Igor has recovered. He said he wishes to give the Purple Scimitar to you as a token for saving him. He has already left."Adrian was overwhelmed with joy. Possessing a formidable weapon boosted his confidence even further. If Sh
