Chapter 155
The moment Adrian spoke, the crowd erupted in disbelief.“How could a decent young woman possibly smear you in public by risking her own reputation?”“Exactly. Take a look at yourself first. Do you really think you’re some irresistible charmer?”“Stop arguing and apologize already. Make it right with this young lady!”At once, several men stepped forward, looking very much like a pack of self-appointed knights in shining armor.Even the restaurant manager let out a sigh.“Sir, to admit one’s fault and correct it is a virtue. If you’ve done something wrong, you must take responsibility for your actions.”Adrian’s expression hardened as he shot back coldly.“You’re right. Anyone who makes a mistake should bear the consequences. But I didn’t do anything wrong.”“Didn’t you already send someone to retrieve the surveillance footage? Then let’s wait until it’s brought back before passing judgment.”His words made those who had been condemning him—including the manager—hesitate.He didn’t lo

Adrian couldn’t help but frown. Not only did Lydia Nolan show no restraint, she pressed even further.“All it takes is one word from you. Anything is possible…”Without drawing attention, Adrian slid his chair back slightly.“Aren’t you worried that when Philip Mason gets out, he’ll despise you? Look down on you for this?”Lydia Nolan shook her head with absolute confidence. “He won’t despise me. He’ll be happy that I was willing to do this for him.”Adrian truly couldn’t understand her—nor her way of thinking.He even suspected Philip Mason had fed this woman something strange.No matter how you looked at it, how could a young woman sacrifice her own reputation so completely for someone else?Adrian couldn’t help feeling a trace of emotion.“He isn’t worth treating yourself this way. You should think carefully about what you actually like about him—and what it is you truly want.”Lydia Nolan completely misunderstood Adrian’s sincere advice. She took it as a sign that he was about to

Daisy looked at Adrian in confusion, then turned her gaze to Lydia Nolan.Yet no one offered her any explanation.“It’s been so long since the last incident. It shouldn’t be such a big deal anymore. But what does Commander Hamilton have to do with Philip Mason?”Daisy was certain something serious had happened. She knew a little about Commander Hamilton, but Philip Mason was a name she had never heard before.Her questioning eyes settled on Adrian.Adrian let out a quiet sigh and, with no other choice, recounted everything that had happened to Philip Mason in the hospital, including how he had secretly pulled out the silver needles from Commander Hamilton’s body.As for the three Taoist priests and the Siamese dark sorcerer, Adrian summed them up in a single, passing remark.Daisy didn’t probe further.But when she learned that Philip Mason’s actions had nearly cost Commander Hamilton his life, her expression darkened instantly.Especially knowing that Philip Mason had done all this s

“Are you certain there will be an acupuncture bronze figure?”Adrian looked at Vincent Wallace, his interest in attending the World Medical Exchange Summit finally stirred.Vincent Wallace nodded vigorously. “Absolutely. The information I received is definitely reliable!”“Is the registration complicated?”The moment Adrian asked that, everyone immediately understood.Adrian was willing to attend the World Medical Exchange Summit!With Adrian there, securing a top ranking would be effortless.“Not complicated at all. Leave it to us,” Jasper Emerson said cheerfully. “When the time comes, Dr. Doyle can just go with peace of mind—we’ll all go together!”Lorenzo Watson was equally delighted. After all, Adrian was his master.“If my master goes, even first place would be easy!”Lorenzo Watson said this with great pride, but Adrian only smiled and shook his head.“There’s always someone better out there. I don’t plan on taking first place. Let’s see what it takes to obtain the acupuncture b

A few more minutes passed, and Maxwell North’s trembling gradually subsided.Yet his lips were still twitching, and his limbs continued to jerk uncontrollably against the floor.Adrian crouched down and examined Maxwell North carefully. After a short while, he nodded.“That should do it.”Lorenzo Watson nudged William Lane with his elbow. “Old Lane, can you tell what state he’s in?”William Lane shook his head seriously. Although he and Maxwell North were fellow disciples, his research into poisons was nowhere near Maxwell North’s level.What’s more, this was a concoction prepared by Adrian—he couldn’t even begin to imagine its properties.In his eyes, those were merely three ordinary medicinal herbs, neither rare nor toxic in the slightest.“I can’t tell.”Adrian gave them a reassuring look. “Don’t worry. He’ll be fine in a moment.”Fine?The people in the hall exchanged puzzled glances, no one understanding what Adrian meant.Yet just as everyone stood bewildered, Maxwell North’s

The moment Maxwell North heard Adrian agree, he hurried toward the rows of medicine cabinets at the back of the Benevolence Clinic’s main hall. With practiced ease, he pulled open drawer after drawer, grabbing precise amounts of herbs without weighing them.After years of handling medicinal ingredients, he no longer needed scales—he knew the exact quantities by instinct.As if eager to prove himself, Maxwell North moved with remarkable speed.Watching him take herb after herb, Vincent Wallace’s expression grew steadily darker.It wasn’t that the ingredients themselves were particularly precious, but that the number of herbs in the clinic suitable for crafting poisons through complementary and opposing properties was extremely limited.The most potent ones had all been taken by Maxwell North. Even if Adrian used the same ingredients, it would be impossible for him to produce a stronger poison.Vincent Wallace let out a quiet sigh. “Maxwell North truly is a master of poison… all the str
