Adrian said gratefully, “Senior Sister, you’ve been through a lot. Thank you for always keeping me in your thoughts.”“Oh, spare me. Who do you think is as heartless as you?” Nora Simpson retorted, half annoyed, half amused.Adrian scratched his head. “I lost my memory, remember? Otherwise, how could I not have contacted you?”“Enough. Tell me about your life now,” Nora Simpson said, letting the matter drop.“My life now? Well… I recently got myself a beautiful fiancée…”Nora Simpson let out a soft sigh. “You even have a fiancée now. I suppose you truly have grown up.”The little boy who once trailed behind her at every step was, in the blink of an eye, on the verge of starting a family of his own.It stirred in her a quiet sense of time’s passing—how everything changes before one realizes it.Still, there was one thing she found highly unsatisfactory.“Your fiancée has you working as her assistant?”Adrian stiffened, forcing an awkward smile. “Not exactly. She transferred twenty perc

Their acceptance of Adrian was not founded solely on Nora Simpson’s declaration, but on the strength he had demonstrated.Before true power, people were naturally inclined to yield—to admire it, to follow it.Nora summoned Vermilion Bird and instructed calmly, “Bring me the Dragon Emblem.”Vermilion Bird bowed respectfully and withdrew, returning shortly thereafter.In her hands she carried a small, square box.It appeared unremarkable, yet no one dared regard it lightly; on the contrary, a hush of reverence settled over the room.The Dragon Emblem signified Lord Buddha’s personal authority. Wherever it appeared within the Novaland Republic, its bearer wielded her power.For Lord Buddha to bestow it upon Adrian was proof beyond doubt of her trust and esteem.Had he not truly been her junior disciple, such a gesture would have been inconceivable.Quentin Newman shot Drew Morvek a sidelong glare, silently grateful he had stopped him from speaking earlier.Nora accepted the box and withd

Adrian let out a quiet sigh and soon drifted off to sleep.It was a dreamless night.They did not wake until after nine the next morning. Vermilion Bird had already prepared breakfast and was simply waiting for Adrian and Nora Simpson to come downstairs before serving the meal.“Lord Buddha.”Vermilion Bird inclined her head in greeting as she placed a freshly prepared dish on the table.Nora Simpson had barely taken a few bites with Adrian when Vermilion Bird returned, looking faintly exhausted.“Lord Buddha, the hall is nearly overflowing.”Nora appeared long accustomed to such scenes and merely nodded indifferently.Adrian looked up in curiosity. “The hall? Why are there so many people there?”Vermilion Bird explained, “Lord Buddha visits Skyline City less and less frequently. Whenever she does return, various local forces seize the opportunity to pay their respects.”“Of course, most of them are seeking cooperation with Lord Buddha—but few ever succeed.”Only then did Adrian under

Nora Simpson had been looking at Adrian with a gaze of shared suffering, fully expecting him to grasp the torment she had endured earlier.The moment his words fell, however, she went utterly still—then fixed him with an icy stare.Even without turning around, Adrian could feel it.It was no longer mere resentment.It was on the verge of becoming murderous intent.He did not dare look back. With a stiff smile, he escorted Clayton Adams to the door.Unaware of the undercurrent between the two, Clayton beamed like an overgrown child who had just been promised a long-desired gift.“Then I’ll return this afternoon. Thank you—truly, thank you!”Once the mayor had gone, Adrian found himself frozen in place. One step forward meant escaping through the door. One step back meant returning to—A chill ran down his spine.“Senior Sister, I’m full. I should head to work! Don’t worry—I’ll let Daisy know you’re coming to see her!”He bolted before the words had fully left his mouth, only to have No

“That young lady seems quite promising as well. Who is she?”Adrian, reluctant to reveal Octavia’s true background, answered quickly, “She’s Daisy’s assistant—part-time bodyguard.”“A trained fighter?”Adrian nodded candidly.Octavia sat neatly on the sofa and offered a polite smile. “Hello, Senior Sister. My name is Octavia.”Nora Simpson returned the smile warmly. Just then, a faint aroma drifted through the air, and Octavia sprang to her feet.“Oh! I nearly forgot there’s porridge still on the stove!”On ordinary days, a housekeeper prepared breakfast. When she was absent, Adrian usually took over.He hadn’t seen the housekeeper this morning and hadn’t expected them to have cooked instead of ordering delivery.“You can cook?” Adrian followed Octavia into the kitchen.Millet porridge simmered gently in the pot, accompanied by several delicately arranged side dishes.Octavia laughed shyly. “Not me. Sister Hill was worried half the night when you didn’t come home. She said if you retu

Only then did Daisy nod in understanding.So she was a formidable businesswoman. That commanding presence suddenly made perfect sense.After all, the marketplace was its own kind of battlefield. Those who thrived in it inevitably carried an uncommon air of authority.Octavia poked her head forward. “Adrian, is your senior sister connected to Lord Buddha?”Adrian paused.“Didn’t you go to see Lord Buddha yesterday?” Octavia continued. “And this morning you brought your senior sister back with you. Doesn’t that mean she’s from Lord Buddha’s side?”Before Adrian could devise a response, Daisy smacked her forehead.Adrian had been taken away by Lord Buddha’s people. Who knew whether there had been conflict?Lord Buddha was not known for her gentleness.“That’s right—you went to see Lord Buddha. How did it go? Did they give you any trouble?”Adrian shook his head with a faint smile.He could hardly tell them that Lord Buddha was his senior sister.That would frighten them—and potentially i

“Really? I look good dressed like this?”Adrian’s compliment had clearly delighted Tabitha Grant; she asked again and again for reassurance.He laughed and nodded. “When someone is beautiful, anything she wears suits her.”She accepted his words without the slightest doubt, her mood brightening even further.She drove straight toward the city center, and Adrian finally asked, “Where exactly are we going?”“You’ll see when we get there,” she replied mysteriously.Since he couldn’t guess her intentions, he decided not to waste the effort. He idly scrolled through his phone until the car came to a stop, and the towering commercial complex outside the window came into view.“Today I need you to accompany me somewhere very important,” Tabitha said. “But we can’t arrive empty-handed. Let’s pick up a few things first.”At the mere mention of shopping, Adrian’s expression stiffened.He had not forgotten previous excursions to the mall—exhausting affairs in which he had served as little more t

Tabitha Grant swallowed the moisture in her eyes and clasped Director Grant’s hand with a gentle smile.“I brought some daily necessities and snacks for the children this time. There’s more in the car—perhaps the staff could help carry them down and hand them out.”Director Grant sighed, gratitude written all over her face.“You’ve already done so much for them. You bring things every few days without fail. The children will always remember your kindness.”Tabitha shook her head. She had never done any of it to be remembered; she simply wanted, from the bottom of her heart, to help these children.“Director, I brought along the doctor who’s been treating me. I’d like him to examine you later. I hope you’ll stay healthy and safe.”Director Grant had noticed Adrian earlier. He was now surrounded by a few children, patiently playing with toys, and had blended in with them in no time.“It means more than you know that you care so much,” the director said softly. “But this illness of mine

The moment Tabitha Grant stepped back, Peach Blossom grew even more smug.With no other choice, Ms. Montgomery selected another little girl.Peach Blossom turned around and began barking orders at the staff behind her, imperious and sharp.“Get ready. We’re starting immediately.”Even if some of them were privately displeased, no one dared contradict her. They hoisted their equipment and prepared to film.“We’re ready. You can begin.”At the cue, Peach Blossom instantly replaced her irritation with a syrupy smile. Bending down, she waved at the children.“Hi, sweethearts! Big sister brought you gifts and snacks. Come here—let’s play some games together!”Children are exquisitely sensitive; they can tell warmth from disdain in a single glance.After what had just happened, they were even less inclined to go near her.Instead of stepping forward, they shuffled back.The smile froze on Peach Blossom’s face, vanishing into a sheet of cold indifference. She turned sharply toward Director G

Adrian had already found them distasteful. Staging a charitable visit for show was bad enough—but to carry it to such an extent was nothing short of an insult.Tabitha Grant did not hold back.“As a media company, you arrive with such fanfare, disrupt everyone for hours, and in the end donate two thousand dollars? Aren’t you ashamed to call that generosity?”Peach Blossom cast her a contemptuous glance and let out a cold laugh.“Bringing them gifts is already an act of kindness. If it weren’t for the company’s directive, I wouldn’t have given even that two thousand.”Her words only fanned the flames. Tabitha was so furious she laughed.“If you never intended to donate, why does the banner say two hundred thousand dollars? That’s false advertising—blatant deception.”Peach Blossom looked at her as though she were hopelessly naive.“You’ve clearly never run a company.”“Banners like that are standard practice. Who actually donates that much?”“And who are you, meddling like this? If you
