“Mr. Doyle, Miss Daisy, I’ll get back to work now.”With a polite smile, Vermilion Bird turned and resumed directing the movers.Adrian spread his hands, while Daisy arched a brow.“Seems your senior sister doesn’t quite trust me?”Adrian quickly shook his head. “How could that be? My senior sister likes you very much.”“Besides, even though she may not look approachable, she’s actually very easy to get along with. Don’t worry.”Daisy glanced at the workers bustling back and forth. “It’s nothing serious. At worst, I’ll just be a bit more mindful in the future.”Adrian reached out, ruffling her hair before lightly pinching her cheek.Daisy’s face flushed instantly, her gaze darting toward Octavia, who stood beside her.Octavia immediately covered her eyes, though she left a gap between her fingers.“I didn’t see anything—I saw nothing at all!”The smile tugging at her lips, however, betrayed her completely.The three of them returned to the villa, preparing to tidy up and head to the c

“Master, even if the chances are slim, there’s always that one possibility. What if you suffer another setback?”When the old monk had returned in defeat from the Novaland Republic, it had shaken the entire Ivory Elephant Temple.Their fear of that expert from the Novaland Republic was no less than his own.If that person were to catch wind of this, he would surely appear again. And by then, with such vast distances between them, even if they wished to help, they would be powerless to do so.“Prepare my things.”The old monk let out a quiet sigh, his tone resolute. Seeing that neither senior nor junior could dissuade him, the younger disciple could only accept the order and withdraw.The old monk’s intention was simple—personally slay the Novaland Republic martial artist who had killed four of his disciples, and return immediately. He would not allow any further entanglements.Meanwhile, deep within the mountains of Hinoku.Young disciples wielded wooden swords, their shouts of exerti

Daisy didn’t dwell on the fact that he had killed them. She had witnessed everything with her own eyes—if Adrian hadn’t acted, he would have been the one lying dead.“But what if their sect comes after you for revenge?”Adrian spread his hands and shrugged, lips curling in indifference.“Then let them come. What else can I do?”“Don’t worry about it. Whoever shows up, I’ll deal with them. None of them are a match for me. And if they all come at once, I’ll wipe them out entirely.”“It’s not like I went looking for trouble. Can’t blame me for that.”Adrian spoke with startling ease. Octavia immediately nodded in agreement.“Exactly, exactly! Big Brother Adrian is so strong—he’ll take them all down!”Daisy shook her head. She wasn’t entirely reassured, but seeing Adrian and Octavia so at ease did ease her mind, if only a little.If they believed it wasn’t a serious problem, then all she could do was hope it truly wasn’t.Fortunately, they were only about a ten-minute drive from the Hill

Adrian’s words infuriated the elder, yet he dared not act rashly. He feared that the moment he lost control, the suppressed surge of blood within him would erupt.“How is this possible!”He forced the words out through clenched teeth, his face twisting into something almost grotesque.The sorcerer who had been kneeling struggled to his feet, swaying unsteadily.“I can’t discern his level…”The elder let out a cold snort but said nothing.Because he couldn’t either.Adrian had shattered two of his formations in succession—his cultivation was likely above his own.The elder tightened his grip on the staff once more, murmuring an incantation under his breath.Adrian dug a finger into his ear, visibly bored.“That’s enough. These parlor tricks of yours are beneath notice. Let me show you something real.”The elder’s eyes widened suddenly.A moment ago, Adrian had been standing before him—yet now his voice sounded right behind him, close enough to feel his breath.By the time he turned aro

Adrian stepped out of the protective barrier without hesitation. The moment he emerged, the three men lunged at him.A chilling killing intent erupted. Their eyes burned with focus, while Adrian regarded them with a faint, almost amused smile. Along with them surged countless black spirits.Yet Adrian’s attention was no longer on the spirits, nor on the two flanking figures—his gaze locked solely onto the elder in the center. Raising his fist, he shouted:“Heavenly Dragon Palm!”A thunderous dragon’s roar split the air as Adrian’s strike tore forward with devastating force. His punch manifested into a translucent palm, fingers pressed together as it crashed down.Sensing the power of the attack, the three men hastily retreated.The elder hurled his staff forward, but before it could reach Adrian, it was repelled by an invisible barrier and snapped back into his grasp.The ground before them, however, was blasted into a deep crater.The elder’s expression darkened, his gaze sharp and p

Just as Daisy and Octavia were completely unprepared, the car came to a sudden, violent stop. Adrian’s brows drew together sharply.Daisy lurched forward, nearly thrown from the passenger seat, saved only by her seatbelt.Octavia wasn’t so fortunate—she slammed straight into Adrian’s seat, baring her teeth as she clutched the swelling bump on her head.“My head… what happened?”Before Daisy could respond, she too noticed something was off outside.An eerie atmosphere filled the car. Octavia pressed against the window and peered out.“That’s strange… when did it get so foggy? And this dense!”Daisy turned to Adrian, confusion written across her face. Adrian remained composed, though his expression had turned unusually grave.“Fog at this hour?”Adrian nodded.“Night fog isn’t unusual—but not to this extent.”Beyond a meter, visibility dropped to nearly nothing. This level of density was far from normal.Octavia’s expression grew serious as well. She could sense a thick, suffocating kil
