Adrian sneered in disgust at Cedric, who was acting like a hero. "Are you sure you're the one who saved her?"To gain Elysia's trust, Cedric answered without hesitation, "Do you think I came here with my team to play around?""You're mistaken if you think the Rios family is like that."Then he turned to Elysia and spoke gently, "Earlier your brother, Maverick, contacted me. He asked me to get you out of here."Although the sentence was spoken gently, Elysia immediately realized the weight and pressure of that statement on her family. She knew very well what the Rios family was like and how they viewed third-class families like hers.Unexpectedly, Cedric removed the jacket he was wearing and wrapped Elysia's body. "Don't let those perverted eyes stare at you carelessly."Then without waiting for Elysia's approval, Cedric ordered the medical team to take Elysia to the stretcher and head to the ambulance.Adrian stood in front of Elysia. "Stop. She can't be taken away now."Cedric, who w

Adrian turned and observed the man. With a flat voice, Adrian said, "Let me guess. You must be the leader of the Red Eagle Guild."The man laughed dryly. "Yes. I'm Anders Cole."Adrian commented, "Oh, so you're the one they call The Horned Crocodile."Anders didn't deny it and only smiled coldly.The name Anders Cole was quite famous in Vecredal's underground circles. He wasn't just a martial arts guild leader, but also had wide influence due to his unusual powers and was known as The Horned Crocodile.Even so, Adrian wasn't intimidated in the slightest. He spoke cynically, "So you're the mastermind who wrecked my shop and almost killed my friend."The corner of Anders's lips lifted. He spoke indifferently, "I was just working."Both of Anders's hands clenched tightly and his muscles tensed. Then he spoke in a low, oppressive tone. "But you slaughtered my men in my territory."Adrian answered indifferently, "I was just protecting myself."Anders looked at Adrian with disgust. "Is that

Anders's mind was in chaos. Just moments ago he had felt he would win and receive a large reward because of his brilliant tactics. But in reality, not only could Adrian survive at the bottom of the pool, but he could also deliver a counterattack to him. As someone respected by guild members and Vecredal's underground world, Anders felt deeply struck and humiliated. Adrian spoke indifferently, "So is that all the power The Horned Crocodile has?" "Are the rumors that have been circulating all this time just exaggerated?" Anders's forehead furrowed. He was truly on the brink of death, but Adrian showed no signs of difficulty at all after being submerged in the pool. Anders's breathing sounded like a drowning person even though he was already on land. With a hoarse voice and gasping breath, "You... can't possibly be an ordinary human..." "Tell me you're a mutant." Adrian didn't answer that question. Instead, his cold eyes scanned the injured Anders. "Ability to breathe in water. D

Adrian fell silent, understanding very well every detail Anders described. But then he asked, "Are you sure you want to hear my diagnosis?" "Because it might not be what you've thought all this time." Anders's forehead furrowed. Actually he wasn't too sure, but the doctors' words that often trivialized his complaints made him always want to seek other alternatives. And this time in front of Adrian he nodded. "Yes, just say it. Whatever it is. I'll listen." Adrian nodded. "You said your daughter was weak, right? She's not the only cause of Leo's special condition." The furrow on Anders's forehead deepened. "What do you mean?" "What you mentioned earlier aren't symptoms of a disease." Adrian explained, "What's actually happening is Leo inherited special powers from his father, but he inherited a weak body from his mother." "He was born with high-level psionic abilities. Abilities that should be possessed by a Sigma-class mutant or even higher." "In the future, if he survives and

After Anders left, Adrian left Warehouse 7 and rode his motorcycle to his flower shop. Upon arriving there, the scene that greeted him was truly chaotic. The flowers that had previously bloomed beautifully were now trampled, broken, or wilting pitifully on the floor. Adrian stood in the middle of the destruction, his face cold but his eyes radiating a rarely seen flash of anger. He walked slowly, avoiding broken glass, checking every corner of the destroyed shop. His main focus was securing the flower plants that might still be saved. With careful hands, he lifted a plant with roots that were still intact. Its leaves were tattered, but there were signs of life at the base of the stem. "I think this Plixine can still be saved." Then, he placed it carefully on the safe side. And so on. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain. After checking the entire shop, Adrian concluded that more than 90% of his collection was totally damaged. Not just ordinary flowers for sale, but what real

Meanwhile at the Harvey family mansion, a tall man with wet clothes and holes in several parts entered the yard.Upon seeing him, the Harvey family guards nodded respectfully in surprise at the man's unusual appearance. Even so, none of them dared to ask.At that time the atmosphere in the mansion was still tense because Ansel hadn't shown any signs of improvement at all. Therefore, they all couldn't sleep until early morning.Upon seeing Anders's arrival, the patriarch's face looked increasingly tense."What's wrong, Anders? Why are you like this?""Did you bring that bastard here?"Anders shook his head and spoke firmly. "Sorry, Mr. Harvey. No. I didn't manage to bring him here."Both of Theron's hands clenched tightly. "What, did you say?""How could that be?"Anders admitted, "He defeated me in combat.""Then, he sent me to deliver his message to you, Mr. Harvey."Anders's statement was like a thunderclap in the Harvey family's ears. They had never imagined that the flower seller t

Evelina's statement shocked the Harvey family.Cressida spoke angrily, "Are you crazy? How can you trust someone who easily slaughters others?"Theron nodded in agreement. "A healer shouldn't spill blood so easily. He's just a thug who wants to extort us!"Evelina objected, "But we have no other choice!""Please, Dad, do something! Get that pill for Ansel!""I want Ansel to recover! I don't want him to keep suffering!"Marcel snapped, "Stop your whining!""You think you're the only one who wants Ansel to recover?""We've all made various efforts to cure Ansel!""Can't you see that?""And can you take responsibility if that medicine doesn't work on Ansel!""Don't easily trust strangers if you don't want to be deceived!"Evelina objected again, "But Mr. Cole wasn't deceived! He successfully recovered because of that pill!""Don't you see his body returned to fitness after almost dying?""What more proof do you need?""We don't have much time! The longer we delay getting that pill, the l

Cressida's eyes narrowed full of suspicion, she immediately added, "Even if he really has money to rent a room at the Grand Vecredal hotel, it's still suspicious." Theron looked at his wife. "What do you mean?" Cressida answered with full conviction, "The Grand Vecredal Hotel is a hotel for the elite. If he has money to stay there, it means he has income other than from his small flower shop." Cressida's shoulders lifted, then she spoke cynically, "Like deceiving and extorting wealthy families, for example." Marcel nodded quickly, feeling he had found a reasonable explanation. "Right! His money must be from extortion or dirty business! That explains everything." "He's not a flower seller! But a criminal in disguise!" "And now he's showing off his wealth to make us afraid!" Although all those accusations sounded reasonable, something in Evelina's chest churned. She still remembered how accurately Adrian diagnosed Ansel's illness. Then his terrible prediction really came true. And

Evelina fell silent, understanding Adrian's words.With a regretful expression she said, "I'm sorry about what happened to your friend.""He certainly didn't deserve such treatment.""I... on behalf of the Harvey family, I apologize for your friend's condition.""I'll pay whatever you think is appropriate for him."The green-eyed woman fell silent again as if choosing her words carefully.Then she spoke in a firm tone, "But your statement that your flower shop's losses are greater than the Harvey family's wealth and business network is unreasonable!"She stated, "I'm not afraid to pay compensation. But I'm also not foolish enough to be easily extorted by you!"Adrian folded his arms across his chest. "You think I'm lying?""The value of that shop building is indeed nothing compared to your family's wealth.""But have you ever thought that my collection of rare plants, which are also ingredients for making Kandila, were also completely destroyed?"Evelina froze. The name Kandila remind

Evelina's mind raced frantically behind her tear-filled eyes. Adrian's demands through Anders flashed through her memory. Impossible. But Ansel was dying. The doctors had given up. She had nothing left.Except…There was one thing she still had. One thing she could offer that required no wealth, no influence. Herself.The thought made bile rise in her throat, but desperation drowned out shame.Evelina bit her lip momentarily, then continued, "Don't worry.""I-I don't have a boyfriend and I'm still a virgin."Her grip on Adrian's knees tightened. That confession was the most humiliating thing Evelina had ever said. In her heart she wished the marble floor beneath her would swallow her whole.Yet Adrian didn't say a single word. And that only made Evelina feel even more ashamed.The woman quickly shook her head. "I-I'm not asking for any relationship from you.""I'm just giving you an offer...""I mean I'm negotiating."Evelina swallowed with difficulty. "Please, don't be stubborn!""An
