Chapter 163
The moment Quentin Newman and the others heard this, their faces lit up with undisguised delight.With Vermilion Bird and her guards stepping in, Adrian was bound to suffer a crushing defeat.Under Lord Buddha’s command were twelve elite guardians. Closest to her were the four great protectors—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—each commanding a cadre of highly capable, fiercely loyal retainers.As for the four guardians themselves, their strength was second only to Lord Buddha’s.If Vermilion Bird were to make a move, even if every martial artist in Skyline City banded together, they would still be no match for her.Nora Simpson shook her head lightly. “No need.”“Help me pack. I’ll go there myself.”“What?”Quentin Newman cried out in disbelief, then immediately lowered his head as if he had spoken out of turn. “Lord Buddha, dealing with Adrian hardly requires your personal involvement.”Nora Simpson’s decision caught everyone off guard—even Vermilion Bird

Sullivan Parker was no fool in the world of business. With Adrian paving the way for him, if he still couldn’t close the deal, he might as well pack up and go home to farm.“Mr. Doyle, rest assured—I’ll handle this flawlessly!”Adrian gave a low hum of approval. “As long as you show sincerity, they won’t turn you down.”“I’ve sent you the location. I’ve already spoken with them—any medicinal materials Hill Group needs at this stage can be delivered the very same day.”Sullivan Parker’s eyes widened in disbelief.The same day?His brain short-circuited once again from Adrian’s words.After years of negotiations, even the strongest partnerships rarely allowed for same-day delivery. Everyone had multiple clients to serve; shipments were always scheduled in sequence.“Th-That’s… that’s incredible.”Sullivan Parker could barely find the words. He swallowed hard and bowed deeply to Adrian with solemn gratitude.Adrian smiled faintly and nodded at him.“Go back and prepare.”Sullivan Parker
Chapter 161
Early the next morning, Daisy came downstairs to find Adrian holding a glass of milk, his eyes fixed on his phone.Adrian often scrolled through his phone, but it was rare to see him so absorbed. Curious, Daisy walked over and glanced at the screen.“What are you looking at so intently?”Seeing that Daisy looked energetic and well, Adrian finally relaxed.“Just some news. Let’s head to the office.”Daisy nodded in response, clearly with no intention of pressing further.When Adrian and Daisy arrived at the company, Freya approached them with a grave expression.“Miss Daisy, Mr. Doyle—these are the latest updates the company has gathered.”The seriousness in Freya’s eyes alerted Daisy to the gravity of the situation. She quickly took the documents and reviewed them one by one.Across major media platforms, coverage of the Snow Beauty Secret line had shifted dramatically—from unanimous praise at launch to an avalanche of negative reports, as if the narrative had changed overnight.“Miss

Camden Tate’s heart sank. What Adrian had mentioned was far beyond anything he could control; at most, he could only pass along the message.That said, when facing Adrian, Camden Tate naturally wouldn’t refuse him outright.“Mr. Doyle, I’ll deliver the message as soon as possible, but I can’t guarantee the timing.”“And how long do you think it will take?” Adrian asked.Camden Tate hesitated, his expression troubled.“Well… I can’t say for certain. But by my estimation, it should only be a matter of a few days.”Adrian nodded. He was reasonably satisfied with that answer.“Alright. You can go back now.”With that, Adrian scooped Daisy up in his arms and headed for the entrance of the Black Forest Bar.The people Serena Hill had sent confirmed that Daisy was safe, then drove off.Adrian placed Daisy gently in the back seat of the car she had driven and took the driver’s seat himself.Daisy was dead drunk—there was no way she could drive—so Adrian resigned himself to playing chauffeur.

To everyone else, all they saw was Camden Tate storming into the bar, striding straight toward Adrian.At once, the whispers grew louder.“It’s over. The Mafia is here. That’s Camden Tate—one of the Five Tigers! That kid is done for.”“Of all people to offend, he just had to pick the Mafia. All this over a woman—hardly worth losing your life.”“The Mafia never makes empty threats. If they say they’ll kill someone, they mean it.”“A tragedy… a real tragedy…”Yet in the place no one could see, Camden Tate’s legs were trembling.What had he seen? Who was standing there?He feared his nerves were playing tricks on him, that anxiety had made him imagine Adrian.Camden Tate squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again.The scene before him hadn’t changed in the slightest.It really was Adrian.When the Mafia had joined forces with the other three major powers to invite Crane Sage out of seclusion, Camden Tate had been there from start to finish.He had witnessed Adrian kill Crane Sage on
Chapter 158
Daisy couldn’t quite put her feelings into words. When the bartender saw her finish that glass of Long Island Iced Tea, he merely sighed and turned away, refusing to look at her again.Daisy didn’t think there was anything strange about his reaction, but her cheeks grew increasingly flushed until she felt heat spreading through her body.She touched her burning face, hoping the cool of her hand might lower her temperature.But Daisy had underestimated it.Not only did it fail to cool her down, it only made her feel hotter.She frowned deeply, an inexplicable irritation rising in her chest.She felt an overwhelming urge to resent Adrian—and yet, at the same time, she missed him desperately.Daisy glanced around. Under the dim lights, everything drifted in and out of focus.What she didn’t realize was that what felt like ordinary, unfocused gazes to her looked irresistibly seductive to everyone else.“Mr. Irving, look—she really is a knockout.”Devin Irving was more than satisfied. He p
