He got someone to inform Shaquille to take Caroline back, but Shaquille did not show up even after three days. In the end, Dieter took Caroline in and raised her as his own daughter."Shaquille has a heart of stone.” Dieter sneered."No, he doesn’t," Adrian refuted. The reason he said so was because Shaquille had not dealt the final blow to Arlo when he was on his last breath. Arlo managed to make it to Medicis Manor mainly because of Caroline. "I don't believe that Shaquille is heartless.""He isn’t worthy of being called a human!" Arwen interjected. When he had learned the truth, he went to confront Shaquille. He never expected Shaquille to look at him disdainfully and nearly kill him.Caroline lowered her head. Feeling her hatred toward Shaquille growing, she wished she could make him not her father. Every time she thought about him, she felt like a knife had been stabbed into her heart.Adrian approached Caroline and said, "The reason Arlo made it to Medicis Manor was because

Adrian rubbed her head and calmly said, "Just talk to him normally and state your purpose clearly. You don't have to try to be charming. Shaquille will find it repulsive."Caroline nodded. She then climbed a large rock and stood there with her arms crossed in front of her chest. The night breeze pulled at her clothes, and she trembled from the cold air.Arwen sighed. "I hope you're right about Shaquille. Otherwise, I'll hate myself even more."As soon as he had finished speaking, lights flickered in the sky. Arwen tensed up and leaned toward Adrian, whispering, "He's coming.”Caroline asked, "Who are you?""I am Shaquille," Shaquille answered coldly, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"Caroline’s trembling became even worse, and she involuntarily backed up. She wanted to keep her distance from Shaquille. "I’m here to save Ivory Cloud."Shaquille laughed. This daughter of his, who was always playing pranks, was finally showing a bit of intelligence. "Okay, I’ll

Arwen then clapped his hands together in understanding, and he plunged from the sky. Luckily, Adrian reacted quickly and grabbed him.Arwen's face paled with fright. He did not have many items on him right now, and he would certainly fall to his death if Adrian had not caught him."You truly are my lucky star!" Arwen cried."Shut up!" Adrian said before looking at Caroline worriedly. He was certain that Dieter was going to be angry with them. "Keep everything that happened today a secret,” he warned.Just as he expected, when Dieter saw that Caroline was injured, he flew into a rage and chewed Arwen out. He did not even give Arwen a chance to explain anything. "Hey! Why am I the one being scolded? It's like I'm a dog you picked up on the streets. Have you ever considered my feelings? I don't want to stay here!” Arwen lamented.Adrian chuckled. Dieter had wanted to scold him too, but Caroline defended him by shifting all the blame to Arwen.Upon learning that Sylvas was retreati

"Okay, okay. I'll take it," Adrian relented. He had to save Marissa and find the Green Plum Grass. He did not have time to stay in Ivory Cloud.After bidding everyone goodbye, he led Rozi and Bucky to Greenhurst City. They thought that no one would be out and about since it was the middle of the night. However, as they approached the city, the sounds of musical instruments and the lively clamor of people playing games reached their ears."Wow!" Bucky exclaimed, "Life is pretty good for those guys. It's already midnight, and they're still awake?""Pipe down, will you?" Adrian chided.They then spotted someone standing at the entrance of the town, his clothes fluttering in the wind. The person waited silently until Adrian and his group neared him.Looking at Adrian, Shaquille said casually, "I’ve been waiting for an hour. I didn't expect you to be so late. You're not worthy of being my opponent." "Where's Marissa?" Adrian questioned. Shaquille turned around, and numerous torches

Adrian delivered a punch to the man's chest. The latter collapsed on the ground, his face contorted with pain but too scared to scream.“S-Stay away from me!" he stammered.Adrian halted. He stared at the man and asked, "Have you seen a girl named Marissa?""I don't know who you’re talking about!" the man replied, looking at Adrian fearfully. "All of the girls here use nicknames. What's hers?" Adrian stepped on his chest and said, "She's from the Sun Tribe."The man grimaced in pain, then fell unconscious. Another guy behind him said, "Please don't kill him. We're just trying to make a living. The girl you're looking for is in the second private room in the right wing. She's entertaining a guest, and I suggest you don’t disturb them."Turning around, Adrian cast a cold glance at the man and asked, "Why shouldn't I disturb them?""They're the honorary members of the Moonlit faction," the man explained, "They've ordered that no one is allowed in.""The Moonlit faction?"
