Chapter 209
The one who failed to react in time was not only Black Tortoise—even those watching could not discern how Adrian had struck.“Pfft—”A spray of blood burst from her lips as she staggered back several steps and collapsed to the ground.“Impossible… How did you do that?”Adrian rolled his wrist, as though loosening it. After playing with them for so long, he had finally warmed up.“When there is a gulf in cultivation, all those elaborate techniques amount to nothing more than a cat toying with mice.”He flashed them a grin. “So—am I qualified now to face Lord Buddha?”Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird, both still conscious, exchanged a glance.They had underestimated him.Quentin Newman, who had watched everything unfold, felt his legs weaken. It took him a long moment to find his voice.“The Four Guardians are already at the Mythical Tier. Could it be that Adrian has reached… that level as well?”Tessa Dawson remained silent.Sometimes silence is the clearest answer.Drew Morvek fared

The moment Adrian’s great blade of golden light fully took shape, White Tiger felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon him.Even drawing breath became difficult.The smile faded from Adrian’s eyes, replaced by a glacial killing intent.White Tiger could sense it with absolute clarity—Adrian meant to kill him.No matter how composed he prided himself on being, a sheen of cold sweat formed on his brow.As the shadow of death loomed closer, White Tiger involuntarily retreated two steps.Adrian flicked his fingers lightly. “Go.”At his command, the massive blade cleaved through the air. White Tiger thrust both hands forward in haste.“Golden Barrier!”“Buzz—”The blade struck the shimmering shield with a resounding hum so piercing that many instinctively clapped their hands over their ears.Only Nora Simpson, watching from above, showed a trace of astonishment in her eyes.To force White Tiger to deploy the Golden Barrier—Adrian’s strength had clearly surpassed her expectations.When th

Adrian returned to where he had been standing and arched a brow at Quentin Newman and the others.“Well? Is Lord Buddha still not coming out?”Quentin’s expression darkened. Around him, disbelief, hostility, and icy detachment mingled in the various gazes fixed upon Adrian.On the top floor of the central villa, Nora Simpson sat serenely on a sofa, a white Ragdoll cat nestled in her arms.One wall of the room was dominated by an enormous surveillance screen. From it, she could see Adrian with perfect clarity.As she absently smoothed the cat’s fur, the doubt in her heart deepened.According to the information she possessed, Adrian could not possibly be connected to that man.And yet… that face of his—Nora lifted her eyes to the screen, something complex flickering in her gaze.Vermilion Bird knocked and entered. Nora gently set the cat aside.“Lord Buddha, the elder of the Hill family is calling.”Still contemplating the resemblance between Adrian and the figure in her memory, Nora w

The thugs who once loitered everywhere across Mafia territory had vanished without a trace. In their place stood martial artists of considerable skill.The entire estate was now a gathering of formidable experts. Even by merely sensing the fluctuations of their auras, Adrian could discern the latent danger that permeated the grounds.Compared to its former state, the difference was nothing short of staggering.It seemed Lord Buddha’s reputation was not built on flattery alone—she was, without question, a force to be reckoned with.Adrian followed his guide at an unhurried pace, his gaze sweeping calmly across his surroundings.Conrad Owen walked just behind him, his eyes never once leaving Adrian’s back.“Mr. Doyle, is there something in particular you’re observing? If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’ll answer whatever I can.”Adrian cast him a faintly amused glance. Conrad’s reputation for shrewdness was evidently well earned.“Isn’t it you who has something you’d like to

“The legendary Lord Buddha. She has already arrived in Skyline City, and according to reliable sources, Adrian has undoubtedly offended her.”Russell Sanders exchanged a glance with Patrick Davidson; both men broke into broad, knowing smiles.“Mr. Foster, you can rest easy now, can’t you?”Grayson Foster narrowed his eyes and gave a cold snort. Of course he knew the weight of the name Lord Buddha carried. If Adrian had truly provoked her, it was no different from courting death.“I’ll be waiting for the day he dies.”Commerce Tower.After dinner, Adrian followed Daisy and Octavia through the shopping complex for hours on end.There was not a moment’s rest—only an endless procession of stores, with him burdened by shopping bags as he trailed behind.A seasoned martial artist, he had never once felt inferior to women in any regard.Now, however, Adrian was thoroughly humbled.His legs felt as heavy as if filled with molten lead, while Daisy and Octavia appeared inexhaustible, as though

Grayson Foster touched his face, feeling as though the day could not possibly have gone worse.Yet the thought of going to a hospital and letting a crowd of doctors scrutinize his swollen face was utterly intolerable.The captain of his bodyguards edged closer. “Young Master, should we inform the old master at home?”Grayson shot him a withering glare, his tone sharp with irritation. “Report it? I’m not dead out here and you’re already dissatisfied—do you want me dead at home instead? Why not tell the old master directly and have him beat me to death? Would that satisfy you?”The captain felt a chill crawl up his spine at those words and hurriedly lowered his head in apology. “Please calm down, sir. What happened today will not reach the family.”Grayson kicked him in frustration. Securing this trip to Skyline City had taken no small effort.If the patriarch of the Foster family learned that he had lost both money and face out here—stripped of dignity inside and out—he would be the fi
