The group studied Cedric. He was well known at the club.One of them asked, "You sure?"Instead of agreement or praise, they just laughed at him."Dude, you're drunk.""No way the Rios family's elite guards could take down the Red Eagle Guild, right?"They laughed again at Cedric's boast.Cedric's hands clenched into fists.The group went back to their conversation."You're right. The Red Eagle Guild wasn't just some ordinary mercenaries. They were under The Horned Crocodile's command.""Who doesn't know The Horned Crocodile? He's famous in Vecredal's underworld.""I heard he's a mutant too. No way he got taken down easily.""Especially not by the Rios family's elite guards.""You're right. They're no match for the Red Eagle Guild.""Our young master here really has had too much to drink."They doubled over, holding their stomachs as they laughed.A brunet with tattoos on his right arm sneered, "If he weren't drunk, he wouldn't dare spout nonsense like that.""Look at him. Typical spo

The driver floored the gas pedal. The SUV shot forward at full speed.The man beside him chanted eagerly, "Hit him, hit him, hit him!"Meanwhile, a passenger in the back watched the biker who stood completely motionless, seemingly unshaken even as a speeding SUV bore down on him, ready to pulverize him.The man warned, "Be careful!"Just as the vehicle was about to strike Adrian, he kicked the front of the car. The SUV launched into the air.The driver cursed in shock. "What the hell was that?"ARRGHHH!They screamed.BOOM!The car crumpled as it slammed into a building wall.The convoy behind slowed down."What happened? Why did that car fly off the road?""God, who is that bastard?""What? Did he cause that car to get thrown like that?""No doubt about it. It was him."Once they confirmed Adrian was responsible for sending their comrade's vehicle flying, they sped up again and stopped right in front of him. Dozens of SUVs lined up, blocking the road.The doors opened, revealing brut

The largest man, wearing a red earring beside the blue-earring one, spoke up. "Viper, enough of this nonsense.""The boss won't believe anything without proof."The yellow-earring man, Phantom, nodded in agreement. "Titan's right. We should finish this quickly before that damn flower seller runs off."Adrian answered dismissively. "So you're choosing to move forward?"He laughed flatly. "A stupid leader really does attract stupid followers."The yellow-earring man warned in a low, threatening tone. "Insult our master one more time, and I'll make sure you melt into human pulp."But Adrian showed no fear at all."Stupid people always get defensive when their stupidity is exposed.""Clearly, you can't even understand what I'm explaining."Adrian's gaze fixed on the three white-haired men with glossy black skin. Without being told, he knew they were the mutant triplets called the Savage Scorpions. "Do I need to learn scorpion language since you don't understand human speech?"Phantom snap
Chapter 64
Alexander's words echoed in his mind.What if he really could bring Vivian back?But who can bring the dead back to life?Damn it.Still, his fury at being deceived hadn't cooled. He issued a command. "Bring that swindler here."Moments later, a bespectacled man with a partially bald head was dragged before Alexander. One of Alexander's men kicked his knee, forcing him to kneel.Alexander's voice cut through the air like a blade. "Did you steal that mushroom from Adrian Reid? Or did you buy it?"The man's face went pale. "I... I got it from his shop—"SLAP!A heavy blow landed on his cheek, knocking his glasses off.Alexander snarled. "That's not what I asked."The man prostrated himself immediately. "Forgive me, Sir. I... I took it from there."Alexander grabbed his collar and yanked him up. "You took it without permission?""Say it. You stole it."The man stammered, "I-I thought the plant was being thrown out. It was behind the shop—"Alexander shoved him hard, sending him sprawling

That same morning in Ucrousal, Alexander hadn't touched his breakfast. His gaze remained fixed on the empty chair across from him. Vivian's chair.A servant approached hesitantly. "Sir, your food is getting cold. Shall I warm it up?""Take it."The servant lifted the plate, but Alexander didn't look at him. His eyes stayed on that empty chair.In his mind, one line from Adrian kept repeating.Have him bring his daughter's body if she hasn't been buried yet. I'll examine her.Alexander muttered under his breath. "Crazy man."Still, his thoughts wouldn't stop questioning. What if he actually could?He's a collector of rare plants. Maybe he knows something.And he owned that mushroom. Maybe there's still a chance.Besides, someone like him wouldn't just casually ask to see a dead body, right?Soon, one of his men approached and saluted."My Lord, we found that flower shop. But it's already destroyed."Alexander lifted his head. "Destroyed?"This information was strange. He had assumed the

Adrian rode his motorcycle back to his mansion at The Magnificent Vecredal.As his bike entered the courtyard, Landyn announced, "That's him. Mr. Reid."Everyone turned to look at Adrian.Alexander's brow furrowed deeply as he took in the contrast between the lavish mansion Adrian owned and the motorcycle he rode.The faces of Alexander's men, however, went pale. Even though they hadn't seen Adrian's face behind the helmet, they recognized that motorcycle. It was the same bike ridden by that mysterious, incredibly powerful man they had encountered just hours ago.And when Adrian removed his helmet and walked toward his guests, Landyn greeted him respectfully. "Welcome home, Sir."Everything became painfully clear to the mafia members."What? He's Adrian Reid?""We're doomed.""I thought it was just my imagination, but—"One of Alexander's men, the closest to him, whispered, "My Lord, he's the powerful man we encountered."The information made Alexander flinch inwardly, though he maint

Having secured Alexander's permission, Adrian said nothing. He pulled out a cloth bundle containing his silver needles.His focus returned to the body in the coffin. His hand reached for the collar of Vivian's dress and tore it open down to her stomach.Rip!Alexander's eyes went wide. "What the hell are you doing?""Are you trying to defile my daughter's corpse?""You sick bastard!"Without thinking, Alexander ordered his men. "Beat that bastard!"His men hesitated, caught between fear and confusion.They didn't dare disobey Alexander. But at the same time, they didn't dare fight Adrian, who had already proven he could defeat the Savage Scorpions singlehandedly.Adrian turned to face Alexander."Mr. Russell, didn't you give me permission to treat her?""I'm about to perform acupuncture on specific points to break the Blue Jelly Morel's poison seal. After that, I'll target the points that can revive her and stabilize her condition."Adrian noticed the fear on the faces of Alexander's
Chapter 68
Alexander glanced at Adrian, silently pleading for understanding.Then he answered softly. "He's Adrian Reid. The man who treated you.""He saved you from death."Vivian's brow furrowed. "That's his method? Tearing a girl's clothes off?"Alexander shook his head. "No. It's not what you think."He recounted everything that had just happened.He gently patted Vivian's shoulder. "You owe him your life. Go thank him."Vivian processed her father's words while clutching her torn dress tightly. She glanced at Adrian, who still stood near the coffin, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever for ripping her gown.Oh God. He's my savior.Why was I so harsh with him?At least he doesn't seem bothered by it.Still, a faint blush crept onto Vivian's cheeks.Alexander quickly removed his jacket and draped it over her. It didn't fully cover the large tear across her chest and stomach, but it was better than nothing. At least it provided some warmth."Thank you, Dad."Alexander simply nodded.Vivian trie

Vivian screamed hysterically, "Dad!"But her panic only made the electrical current stronger.Alexander needs to be saved. If this continues, he'll die.Adrian quickly pulled Alexander's hand away from Vivian's body, completely unaffected by the electric shock.He carried the blond man out of the bathroom. Alexander lay on the floor just outside the door, his body still trembling but no longer connected to the current.Adrian checked his pulse. "Luckily, he's just stunned."He pressed a few points on Alexander's chest. Moments later, Alexander's body relaxed, though his eyes remained closed.After confirming Alexander was stable, Adrian gave the order. "Landyn. Take Mr. Russell to a guest room."The green-suited butler hurried over. "Right away, Sir."Soon, several men arrived and carried Alexander to another guest room.Adrian turned to Vivian. She was crying, face down, arms wrapped tightly around herself."What do you want?""Go away!""I'm a monster!""I hurt my own dad!"Adrian d

Vivian kept her eyes closed, trying to concentrate. But it wasn't as easy as she'd imagined.She muttered, "I don't feel anything."Adrian commented, "You're still not focused. Don't think about anything else. Just feel yourself."Vivian didn't give up. She tried to focus her mind and feel every part of her body. Sweat began to form on her forehead."I... I... feel heat in my stomach.""What kind of heat?""Like there's a small ball of fire churning there."Adrian smiled."That's your energy source. Keep it there."Vivian obeyed.Adrian continued. "Now, move that energy to your right hand."Vivian frowned. "How?"Adrian answered patiently. "With your mind. You're the one in control here. Do it."Vivian concentrated again and slowly guided the energy through her arm until it reached her right hand. Small sparks began to flicker around her fingers.Adrian nodded. "Good.""Now move it to your left hand."Still keeping her eyes closed, Vivian followed his instruction. The electrical energ
