Adrian stood alone on the balcony outside the main corridor, the cool night air brushing lightly against his face.

His phone vibrated softly in his hand.

Adrian glanced at the screen before answering immediately. “Report.”

Director Isabella Reyes’ voice came through the line, calm but carrying a trace of exhaustion beneath her professionalism. “Chairman.” She paused briefly before continuing.

“The company has been holding. Operations remain stable, and revenue flow hasn’t collapsed despite

    Adrian and Kai walked into the room that had been prepared for them.Princess Lila followed behind and gestured toward the luxurious suite."Chairman Cole, I hope this arrangement is to your liking," she said politely.She glanced around the room before continuing."I personally inspected everything to make sure you would be comfortable. You are important guests of the Prescott Family, and I would feel as though I had failed in my duties if your stay here was unpleasant."Adrian nodded slightly. "Thank you, Princess. The room is excellent."Relief flashed across her face. "I'm glad to hear that."She hesitated briefly. "Do you need anything else?""Yes," Adrian replied. "I need incense and several medicinal herbs."He listed the names one after another. Princess Lila memorized them carefully before nodding."Understood. I'll make sure they're delivered immediately, Chairman Cole."She offered a respectful bow. "Please excuse me."With that, she left the room.The door closed softly be

    Adrian checked the King's pulse one final time and nodded slightly.The pulse was no longer chaotic.It had stabilized.The cold energy that had been disrupting his circulation was gradually fading.Without wasting another second, Adrian carefully removed the silver needles one after another.Each needle slid out smoothly.As the final needle left the King's chest, a powerful rush of blood and energy flowed through his body.The King's fingers twitched.Then his chest rose noticeably.Everyone in the room froze.Prince Robert nearly stepped forward. "Father?"Adrian immediately raised a hand. "Don't disturb him yet."The room fell silent again.The King's pale complexion slowly regained some color. The stiffness in his muscles began easing as his body's natural circulation returned.A few moments later, a deep cough erupted from the King's throat. "Cough! Cough!"His body jerked violently. Then a mouthful of dark blood spilled onto the side of the bed.Several people gasped.Queen Du

    After leaving the old man behind, they all returned to the King's palace.When they arrived, they found Queen Dugan already waiting there alongside Princess Lila.Adrian's eyes briefly settled on Queen Dugan.He couldn't help but wonder if he had misunderstood something.From the moment they arrived, she hadn't made a single suspicious move. She hadn't attempted anything against the King, nor had she shown any obvious signs of panic.For a brief moment, Adrian questioned whether his suspicions had been wrong.But something still felt off.And he wasn't ready to dismiss his instincts yet."Chairman Cole, you're done examining my father-in-law?" Queen Dugan asked, her voice carrying a hint of anticipation.Before Adrian could answer, Princess Lila stepped forward.Her beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety. "Chairman Cole, is there a solution? Can Grandfather be saved?"The entire room fell silent. Everyone was waiting for an answer.Prince Harry finally spoke. "Yes. There is a solutio

    “You don’t need to know who I am,” Adrian said calmly. “You’ll know when the time comes. Just don’t forget your promise to be there for me when I need it.”Prince Harry immediately nodded. “Of course, Chairman Cole. If you don’t wish to reveal it yet, we won’t press the matter.”“You can go ahead and examine Grandfather now,” Prince Josh added.Adrian stepped closer to the frozen figure.The enormous block of ice radiated an ancient aura, sending a chill through the entire chamber.He slowly formed a series of hand seals before placing his palm against the ice.The moment contact was made, his eyes closed.Silence filled the room.Several seconds passed before Adrian finally spoke.“The vow made by your generation to abandon dark magic is what placed him in this frozen state.”The princes frowned.“What do you mean?” Prince Robert asked immediately.Adrian kept his hand on the ice.“Your grandfather gathered every trace of forbidden magic within the Dragon Clan. To prove the clan's si

    "Here we are, Chairman Cole," Prince Robert said as they arrived at the ancestral tomb where the former king lay preserved within a cocoon of dense terrestrial energy.The atmosphere was solemn.Ancient stone pillars surrounded the area, each engraved with dragon symbols that had weathered countless generations. The air itself seemed heavier, carrying a pressure that ordinary people would struggle to withstand.Adrian's eyes settled on the massive sealed entrance."The place is locked?" he asked.Robert nodded. "Prince Harry will open it."Adrian glanced at the eldest prince. "Prince Harry is in charge?""Yes," Robert replied. "He's the eldest. Father entrusted him with more responsibilities than the rest of us.""Aside from keeping the younger ones united," Kai muttered.Unfortunately for him, his voice carried farther than intended.Prince Harry turned immediately. "What did you say?"Kai forced a smile. "What I meant is that unity among siblings is important. If a family remains un

    Adrian stepped closer to the King and quietly examined him.A few moments later, he withdrew his hand. "We should leave already," he said calmly to Prince Robert.Kai immediately walked closer and lowered his voice. "Aren't you going to tell me what's going on? I know you have a plan, but I'm completely in the dark here."Without warning, Adrian lightly struck Kai on the chest.The impact wasn't strong, but it caused Kai to stumble back slightly. At that exact moment, his eyes landed on something within the courtyard.His expression changed.A formation. An ancient formation was hidden around the King's residence.Kai's heart skipped a beat.He couldn't understand how he had missed it before.Carefully studying it, he noticed strands of fox-like energy lingering around the King's surroundings.His eyes widened. For a moment, he couldn't understand why Adrian would use such a technique.Even if it was meant to distract someone, it was still dangerous."Chairman Kai, are you alright?" t
