Although it was slightly embarrassing to have to flee, their lives were far more important. They would have a chance at getting back at Adrian as long as they were alive. After all four of them retreated, Adrian approached Marissa and asked, "What's going on here?" Marissa's eyes had become teary-eyed. She knew Adrian had offended the leaders of Moonlit for her sake, and that he would now be their target of vengeance. "You have to leave. There’s no hope for me. You can't save me,” she said."Why? There is no problem that can't be solved. It's only a matter of whether you're willing to resolve it or not," Adrian said as he grabbed Marissa's shoulders.Marissa hung her head as tears streamed down her face. "I took half a bottle's worth of Sol Pills."Rozi could not believe her ears. "Why would you do such a thing?! You know full well you can break the addiction to those things!”Adrian took a deep breath. He knew that Marissa was a rational woman and would never ingest such thi

Slash!Adrian swiftly dealt with the old lady. She was a malicious person who would only cause more harm than good if allowed to remain alive. Adrian surmised it would be better for her to be dead to prevent other girls from falling into her deceitful schemes.Almond Eyes became delighted. Adrian was conveniently facing away from him, so he dashed with all his might, assured that Adrian was dead meat by the time he was done."Die!" he shouted."Right back at you.” Without even a backward glance, Adrian swung his sword backward and sliced Almond Eyes in half before the latter could even get close.There were now only two men left. They did not dare to fight Adrian and ran away faster than deer. They even dropped their swords.Adrian turned around. Facing Hennessy who was standing in the darkness, he said, "Why are you just standing there? Did you think I wouldn't notice you?"Hennessy wore a grim expression. He had arrived more than ten minutes ago and had yet to make a move. He

Facing danger, Hennessy forgot about Adrian's warning and pulled out the bamboo tube at his waist. Then, he activated the mechanism and aimed it at Adrian's chest.Adrian had already lunged toward the man in purple, and Hennessy's poisoned needles were shot in vain, dispersing like falling stars.Hennessy took aim once again. Meanwhile, Adrian was in a fierce battle with the man in purple, gaining a clear advantage and pushing him backward.Bucky, having just arrived at the scene, witnessed Hennessy attempting to harm Adrian. In a panic, he rushed over and grabbed Hennessy as he shouted, "Watch out, sir!" However, it was too late. Hennessy's poisoned needles had already been released, heading toward Adrian's back. Adrian heard Bucky's warning and stopped his attack. He grabbed the man in purple's hands before flipping him over through brute strength. The man staggered and dropped his sword, not expecting Adrian to use such a tactic. He missed his attack and felt a tightness in h

Francisco looked to Adrian, hoping for an explanation. Adrian chuckled and said, "It's only natural for one to feel angry after realizing they have a treacherous apprentice. He tried to eradicate the menace before he died.”"That’s impossible!" A hurried and breathless voice interrupted. The speaker seemed exhausted, slapping his chest as if trying to catch his breath. "Hennessy was the most outstanding apprentice at Westia!"Adrian glanced at the newcomer. It was the leader of Westia, Gavin Pape. He was a tall and burly man with a fully-grown beard. Moreover, he looked like a hot-tempered man. "What was he outstanding at? Running his mouth maybe?" Adrian mocked. Hennessy's skills were mediocre at best, proven by the fact that he would not have resorted to underhanded tactics if he was indeed skilled. Gavin blushed. Hennessy was good with words, pleasing everyone in Westia with his high EQ."You murderer!" Gavin drew a spiked knife. "You killed the number one apprentice of o

Sonny was the first to react to the situation. Seeing the ruthless look on Adrian's face, he realized how serious Adrian was and switched to sweet-talking."I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, my friend. We were planning to kill him, and you've done us a huge favor. We’re in your debt,” Sonny said.Adrian threw aside Gavin’s spear and glanced at Francisco, who was gripping his weapon tightly. He knew that Francisco was unhappy with what happened and still wished to fight him. "Sir, I thought you were a wise person. I'm surprised to see how huge of a fool you actually are. You willingly became Shaquille's lackey, and you'll never be able to amount to anything in this life,” Adrian commented.Francisco was extremely surprised. He was indeed in cahoots with Shaquille. After all, Shaquille had tremendous influence and had many people serving under him. Apart from the Debonaire Syndicate, no one dared to confront the Wolf Fangs."How did you know?" Francisco asked.Adrian calmly said
