Chapter 466
“I never planned to lean on any of you. If Siam refuses to accept this, they can come find me. However many they send, I, Adrian, will cut down the lot.”The thunder of it made the three vice chairmen frown.“Boy, you are strong, yes—but far too arrogant. Today’s fault is yours. How do you intend to wriggle free of it?”Victor Reed and Walter Simpson could not shake the dread gnawing at them as they thought of the Siamese elites who lay dead on their grounds. If Siam came to demand blood, what then? The boy was formidable, but he bowed to no one. Better to hand him over and cool Siam’s fury than keep such a wild blade within their walls.Vincent Adams stood by, brows knit, silent—watching.Adrian knew exactly what was running through their minds, and the knowledge made him laugh.“Vice chairmen of the association’s headquarters—yet nothing but cowards. So what if Siam marches over in outrage? I have the strength to make them stay. You’ve lived most of your lives and still don’t grasp

“I am Sean, the Steel Gun King of Siam!”“I am Mario, the Battle Axe of Siam!”“I am—”Adrian waved a hand, impatient. “Spare me the introductions. To me, you’re already dead men walking. Names don’t matter.”His words snapped the six of them like a whip. They roared and charged.Adrian stood his ground at the center of the arena. A golden barrier flared around him, solid as a sunlit bastion, swallowing the storm of their assault.These six were stronger than those before—one at the very peak of the Mythical Tier, the others at mid-Mythical. Together, their onslaught was something even the three vice chairmen wouldn’t dare take head-on.Yet Adrian endured it—flat-footed, unharmed. The shield didn’t so much as quiver.“This kid’s strength is absurd. Someone this powerful and this young—we’ve never even heard of him,” Vincent Adams breathed.“Absurd or not, he dies here,” Walter Simpson said, eyes like ice.It was plain now: Walter Simpson and Victor Reed had set their hearts on killing

“What you’ve done—never mind the Kingdom of Siam—even within our own Novaland Republic Martial Association, you will not be easily forgiven.”Adrian burst into wild laughter.It was laughter steeped in scorn, laced with a bleak, simmering fury.He pointed at Conrad Tate and the others standing off to the side with folded arms, watching the spectacle, and his voice rang out like iron striking stone. “Who slaughtered the innocent? Who sinned first? They know the answer better than anyone.”Conrad Tate’s reply was cold as steel. “Boy, you murdered the venerable master of the Ivory Elephant Temple of Siam and countless monks. That is an ironclad fact. What’s left to argue?”The dead could not speak, and the earth had already claimed them. He did not believe Adrian could possibly exonerate himself now.In Novaland, the dead are to be honored.“Aren’t you curious?” Adrian’s gaze swept across them. “Then I’ll lay out exactly what happened. Remember this: I, Adrian, am not afraid. I am restor

“You showing up here today is disappointment enough,” Iris Lloyd said coldly. “If there’s nothing else, you should leave.”Caught between loyalty and duty, Benson Doyle and his two companions stood in an impossible spot. They trusted Adrian more—but they were men of the Association. At this point, there was no good choice.They sighed, said their farewells, and left the villa.The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Adrian meant to go to the capital’s Association alone, but Octavia and the others insisted on accompanying him. He relented and brought them along.At the airport, Daisy calmly straightened his collar. “I can’t stop you from doing what you’ve decided to do. I only want one thing—that you come back safe.”Adrian kissed her cheek. “I promise.”Near noon, they landed in the capital.The moment they stepped off the plane, four members of the capital branch were waiting for them.Adrian’s mouth curled into a dry laugh.Benson Doyle greeted them awkwardly, the

“This is beyond insulting,” Vincent Adams snapped. “We should meet them head-on and be done with it!”The other two hurried to restrain him.“Mr. Adams, don’t be rash,” Victor Reed urged, glancing at Walter Simpson. “It isn’t worth igniting a martial conflict between two nations over an unknown youth. Better to hand him over.”Walter nodded. “Agreed. If this escalates, many disciples will be hurt. That’s on us.”Vincent exhaled hard, bitterness etched on his face. “Fine. Have it your way.”They left the study to find Conrad Tate standing at the door, all arrogant poise. The sight stoked their ire.“Well? Have you decided? Surrender the man or prepare for war.”Victor shot Vincent a look, then forced a smile. “Fighting over a matter like this would be foolish. We’ll hand him over. But you must give us a few days. We—”“Days?” Conrad cut him off. “We don’t have time to waste. We want him by noon tomorrow. I trust you know what to do.”He swept them with a warning glance and strode off.

“But judging by their bluster, it can’t be anything good.”The young disciple’s addendum only deepened the elders’ confusion.There was little overlap between Siam and the Novaland Republic in martial affairs. Why appear out of the blue now?“Let’s go and see. We’ll answer move with move,” Vincent Adams said.The other two agreed, and the trio strode out.At the gates, they met the incoming party head-on: Conrad Tate, president of Siam’s Martial Association. He cut a fearsome figure—near two meters tall, skin like oiled teak, cords of muscle straining his clothes.Nine experts from the Siamese association trailed him, along with a dozen monks.It was, unmistakably, a show of force.The three vice presidents exchanged a look, none the wiser.“Welcome, welcome,” Vincent ventured. “Guests from afar are always an honor.”“This is how you receive guests in the Novaland Republic?” Conrad shot back. “Aren’t you going to invite us in?”The rebuke left the trio awkward.“Of course—this way, pl
