After hearing Adrian’s assurance, Sandy regarded him with even greater esteem.If the sensation of acupuncture truly varied with the skill of the practitioner, and Adrian could render it entirely painless, then his mastery must be approaching its pinnacle.The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became that her journey to Skyline City in the Novaland Republic had been the right decision.“Mr. Doyle, I trust you.”Adrian nodded and offered her a warm smile.He knew well how rare it was to earn the trust of a foreigner in an unfamiliar field. Sandy’s willingness to place her faith in him spoke of courage, and he admired her for it.His expression grew focused as he began the treatment. By the time he reached the third needle, he hesitated slightly.“Is something wrong, Mr. Doyle?” Sandy asked.He cleared his throat, a faint stiffness crossing his features. “Well…”“That’s not a problem.”With brisk decisiveness, Sandy lifted the hem of her shirt and pulled off her cropped

Early the next morning, Adrian accompanied Daisy to the office.After giving Octavia a few brief instructions, Daisy immersed herself in work. Adrian, having little to occupy him, idly scrolled through his phone while plotting an escape to the small garden he had grown rather fond of.Just as he was entertaining the idea, the office phone rang.Octavia picked it up casually, then glanced at Adrian. “It’s for you.”He rose and took the receiver from her.The receptionist’s voice drifted through the line. “Assistant Adrian, there’s someone in the lobby asking for you.”Adrian frowned slightly. Who would be looking for him at this hour?“Did she leave a name?”“No. I asked, but she wouldn’t say. She’s sitting on the sofa in the lobby right now. Would you like to come down?”“I’ll be there.”He hung up and spread his hands. “What do you think? An assassin from the dark web finally tracked me down?”Octavia immediately shook her head like a rattle drum. “Impossible. I’ve been monitoring th

Watching Leonard Newman and the others bristle with indignation, Gibson Nathaniel could almost foresee the miserable fate awaiting him. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.The men dragged the unconscious Gibson out of the private room. Freya stared at the figure sprawled on the floor, her expression complicated.Adrian turned to Quentin Newman and the others. “Because of Gibson Nathaniel, loan sharks have been hounding Freya relentlessly. I’d like this matter handled—thoroughly.”Quentin nodded. After bidding Adrian farewell, the group filed out one by one.Outside the clubhouse, Leonard hurried to his father’s side.“Dad, who exactly is that guy? He doesn’t look much older than me. Why are you all treating him with such respect?”Quentin shot his son an exasperated look, silently lamenting his foolishness.“After Lord Buddha arrived in Skyline City, he passed the Dragon Emblem to a young man. You’ve heard about that, haven’t you?”Leonard nodded quickly. “Yeah, I’ve hea

Daisy knew that worry would serve no purpose. If Adrian said it was fine, then he surely had a plan. She steadied herself.Adrian, meanwhile, took her hand and strode straight to the sofa, settling into the very seat Leonard Newman had occupied moments earlier.Octavia cheerfully pulled Freya along, and the four of them claimed the long couch in its entirety. Aside from the overturned furniture damaged in the scuffle, only a small armchair remained in the corner.Leonard edged along the wall and dropped into it.At once, both Adrian and Octavia turned their gaze toward him.Leonard stiffened. “I’m injured!”They chuckled and left him be.Footsteps echoed outside the private room. Mr. Levi hurried out with his men.“My goodness—Mr. Newman is here!”“And President Dawson too! We’re saved!”“What? Mr. Morvek and Mr. Howard as well—they all came together!”Mr. Levi and his lackeys were beside themselves with excitement as they rushed forward to greet them.Leonard and the others bolted ou

Freya’s face was pale, her thoughts unreadable.“Miss Daisy, don’t worry. I know who has truly treated me well.”Gibson Nathaniel clutched at her calf desperately, almost groveling.“Freya, I mean it this time. You have to believe me!”But no plea softened her resolve.Octavia lifted her foot and brought it down on his uninjured shoulder. With a sickening crack, his grip on Freya went slack.“Ah—!”His scream pierced the room. Adrian frowned and rubbed his ear.“Stuff his mouth.”Octavia grabbed a towel and shoved it into Gibson’s mouth without ceremony.“There. Peace at last.”At that moment, the door burst open with a violent kick. Mr. Levi returned, swaggering, triumph written across his face.Seeing him, Gibson began writhing toward him desperately, muffled cries spilling past the towel.One glance at the scene told Mr. Levi everything—Gibson had been crippled.“Well, well. You’re still here?” he sneered at Adrian. “Enjoy it while you can. Today’s your unlucky day. The four young

The others in the private room finally snapped out of their shock and surged forward, surrounding Freya and the others.Octavia stepped onto the table and casually picked up another bottle of liquor.Mr. Levi wiped the sticky blood from his forehead, livid.“You little bitch—are you trying to kill someone?”Gibson Nathaniel hurriedly grabbed towels and gauze, while another thug fumbled with medicine, scrambling to tend to Mr. Levi’s wound.They had invited Mr. Levi for entertainment, and now he was the one bleeding.Gibson pointed at Freya, his expression twisted.“I told you to bring money, and you bring trouble instead? I won’t let you off!”Before he could finish, Daisy seized a glass vase from the table and smashed it over Gibson’s head. With a sharp crack, it shattered, fragments scattering across the floor.Gibson clutched his head and dropped to a crouch, bright red blood seeping through his fingers.Mr. Levi’s rage boiled over. Two of their men were already injured.“Useless
