“How is the Hill Group also holding their launch tomorrow at nine?”“What are we supposed to do now? I already promised the Sanders I’d attend theirs!”“I need to rethink this. The Hill Group’s momentum is just too strong.”“I’m definitely going with the Hill Group. You can cross anyone, but you don’t cross money.”“I should weigh it carefully. The Sanders are partnering with Aurelion City’s pharmaceutical firm this time—what if they really outpace the Hill Group?”“…”In an instant, all of Skyline City felt aflame.No one could sleep. No one could think straight. The tension had their heads pounding.By morning, the Tai’an Grand Hotel was decked out in full regalia.The Sanders Company’s logo blazed across the banners—an impressive show of force.Yet the cavernous hall held barely twenty people, scattered here and there.They were, for the most part, old allies of the Sanders. Truth be told, few had wanted to come, but it was hard to refuse for the sake of appearances and ties.Since

“Good news is good news, sure—but if even Master Xavier of the Xavier Monastery couldn’t handle Adrian, they’d better send someone truly formidable.”Patrick Davidson’s cool returned quickly. Master Xavier had been one of the monastery’s finest.If he’d died at Adrian’s hands, anyone weaker would be walking to their death.No point pinning hopes there.Kane Taylor had the look of a man who already knew more.“Relax. If we can see it, the Xavier Monastery certainly can.”He spoke with deliberate calm.“They’re sending their strongest elder—and a few of their most gifted disciples.”“Bear in mind, their top disciples are each a force in their own right—and their techniques are anything but ordinary.”That eased both Patrick and Russell Sanders.They knew the Xavier Monastery didn’t play by common rules. Their methods were anything but simple.If Adrian still survived this time, it would be sheer, outrageous luck.“All right, the launch is about to start. Let’s table this.”Russell rose,

Over at the Sanders venue, the laptop feeding the big screen crashed. The staffer, drenched in sweat, jabbed at keys to kill the feed—no use.Marcus Sanders’s face had gone a dangerous shade. His mood was plain for all to see.Almost everyone was sneaking glances at the massive display. When the famed physicians of Skyline City appeared on screen, expressions shifted.Then came shots of prominent officials. Restlessness rippled through the hall.With the Hill Group’s affair playing out in crisp detail, the contrast was impossible to ignore.Plenty of those present hadn’t truly wanted to be here to begin with—and now, watching the Hill Group’s roaring turnout with their own eyes, the itch to leave grew unbearable.One man stood.“Mr. Sanders, my wife’s gone into labor. I have to get to the hospital—now.”Marcus knew better. The man’s wife had given birth last month. A second emergency? Not a chance.Where there’s a first, a second follows.“Mr. Sanders, I’m so sorry—my father-in-law wa

It wasn’t that Adrian balked at making the old man show himself inside Skyline City; he simply couldn’t guarantee the carnage wouldn’t spill over to innocents.Those black sorcerers had no moral compass to speak of.The disciples alone had tied most people in knots—who knew what realm their master had reached?Adrian stepped outside, flagged a cab, and sped off.By the time Daisy finished her round and looked for him, he was already gone.She frowned slightly and turned to Freya and Octavia. “Where’s Adrian?”They shook their heads in unison.“No idea. Didn’t see him,” Freya said, glancing at Octavia, who added, “I saw him slip out earlier—looked like something urgent.”Hearing that he’d left on business set a tremor of worry moving through Daisy.Adrian had crossed too many people, and she knew only fragments.The thought left her faintly hollow.“Did he say what it was, or what happened?”“I don’t know. He didn’t say a word,” Octavia replied.If even Octavia had been kept in the dar

For the first time, he was truly wounded, and Adrian had no choice but to move with greater caution.What stunned Kadana most was that this young martial artist from the Novaland Republic could actually fight him to a standstill.“I’ve heard you practice both martial and arcane arts?”A muscle beneath Kadana’s eye twitched, and the malice in him surged. A faint black miasma began to seep from his body.He was all but certain that even if Adrian was a prodigy in combat, his sorcery would be lacking.Talent alone means little in the arcane. Without years of discipline, reaching true mastery is nigh impossible.All the more so with black witchcraft—where rules are few and lines are meant to be crossed.Adrian’s gaze tightened. He knew Kadana intended to kill him with a spell.Sure enough, as if to confirm his suspicion, Kadana pressed his palms together and began to chant.Adrian couldn’t understand a word, but he could see the world around them shift.As the black vapor coalesced, Kadan

Daisy knew guesswork would get her nowhere. Flustered, she fumbled for her phone and called Adrian.She tried several times. Every call failed to connect.Her anxiety spiked. With Adrian out of touch, she grew ever more certain that the tremor earlier had everything to do with him.Silvermist Peak—once towering and majestic—had been reduced to a ruin unrecognizable.Through the drifting dust, a lone figure took shape.Adrian sat amid the wreckage in a state of disarray, his body latticed with wounds—frightening enough at a glance.Not ten meters away, Kadana lay on the ground.Half his body was gone; only his upper torso remained.His chest heaved violently, and he knew, with grim clarity, that he would not survive this.Still, disbelief gnawed at him: a young man from the Novaland Republic—an obscure nobody—had actually managed to kill him.Kadana’s spirit dimmed as he stared into the distant sky, as though peering across lifetimes.“How can this be? It’s impossible—this isn’t how it

Daisy dabbed ointment on Adrian’s wounds, her gaze sweeping his face with grave intensity.Under the scrutiny, Adrian finally let out a sheepish chuckle. “I’m really fine...”But Daisy wasn’t interested in placations. “What happened? Who were you fighting?”He was about to toss out some harmless excuse when Daisy cut him off. “Not this time. No deflecting. I want the truth, from start to finish.”Adrian pressed his lips together. It wasn’t that he couldn’t tell them—he was weighing whether to share everything with the three of them.But Daisy’s eyes were unwavering. He sighed. Clearly, he wouldn’t be talking his way out of it tonight.“Give me a moment to put things in order. I’m not even sure where to begin.”Daisy and Freya nodded, patient and unpressing.They were telling him, in no uncertain terms, to take his time—and to tell the whole story.Especially Daisy, whose gaze felt like a ruler held to every word.Adrian began slowly, starting with how he had saved Commander Hamilton.

Hearing the voice from inside, the assistant eased the door open.Quentin Richards turned, immediately spotting the file in the assistant’s hands.The assistant presented it with both hands and remained in a respectful bow.Quentin flipped through the pages—and his brow creased at once. “This is all?”Seeing his displeasure, the assistant bent even lower.He knew too well the cost of Quentin’s anger. “It isn’t for lack of effort. We tapped every channel available, but there’s only this much on Adrian.”He hesitated, then voiced what he’d been thinking. “From what we can tell, Adrian before graduation and Adrian now are two different people.”“If this isn’t deliberate concealment, the discrepancy makes no sense.”From the data they’d gathered, Adrian had to have powerful backing—otherwise he wouldn’t be moving with such ease across so many spheres.All the more if Lord Buddha had taken an interest.Or perhaps Adrian was far deeper than he appeared—so deep that even their network came u

Stuart Thompson rubbed his hands together, as delighted as Daisy to see Hill Group’s products tearing up the market. “Hill Group’s the undisputed leader in Skyline City now. Have you thought about where we go from here, Miss Daisy?”When it came to connections, no one in the room rivaled Bianca Irving.As president of the Skyline Chamber of Commerce, her network had only grown broader—and since becoming a distributor for Hill Group’s new releases, business friends from other provinces had been reaching out nonstop.Adrian had once saved her daughter’s life; Bianca kept that debt close to her heart. If there was a way to help Hill Group soar, she would back it a thousandfold.Even if Stuart hadn’t asked, Bianca would have. “Have you considered expanding beyond the province, Miss Daisy?”“Exactly,” Sullivan Parker chimed in after signing. “Our products are flying off the shelves. If we open up out-of-province markets, the upside will be enormous.”Watching the three of them more eager t

Adrian leaned on the railing for a long while, still no closer to understanding why Daisy always feared he would one day leave.He gave up and headed back to the assistants’ office, where Octavia was glued to a mindless soap opera on her computer.She glanced up as he walked in. “What’s with the long face, Brother Adrian?”Maybe girls understood girls better.With that thought, he laid it all out. Octavia perked up at once, abandoning the show entirely.“I know exactly why. You’ve triggered a sense of crisis in Sister Hill.”“A sense of crisis?”He was even more at sea. Why would Daisy feel that?Octavia grinned like a cat that had found cream. “Men—always so literal. Even a near-perfect man like you is a certified blockhead.”Adrian was speechless. He didn’t keep up with online slang, but he knew an insult when he heard one.“Do you have a way to set Daisy’s mind at ease?”Octavia adopted a sage expression—she was, after all, a woman who’d watched dozens of romance dramas. “Now you’r
