The tall man who had stepped down from the helicopter casually patted the sniper standing beside it on the shoulder.“Tower, I didn’t expect even you to miss. I thought you’d finish him in a single shot and save us the trouble.”Tower shrugged his hand off at once, shooting him a sidelong glare.The man only shrugged. “I’m just stating facts. The legendary sharpshooter who never misses—guess that reputation ends here, huh?”Tower let out a cold snort, his eyes fixed on Adrian with unmistakable caution.“If I couldn’t hit him, it might not be a matter of skill. I have a feeling… even if I had, it wouldn’t have hurt him.”The others paid no attention to his words, dismissing them as excuses from someone unwilling to admit failure.They turned their gaze back to Adrian, their expressions indifferent, as though he were already a dead man.After confirming there were only five of them, Adrian felt a flicker of disappointment.He had expected a larger crowd, given the commotion he had stirr
Chapter 259
Adrian pushed himself to train with relentless urgency, driven by Daisy’s concerns. He had far too many enemies now.Not to mention the assassins lurking on the dark web—there were already countless people in Skyline City, both in the open and in the shadows, who wanted him dead.And on top of that, there was the looming threat of revenge from Siam.Adrian let out a quiet sigh. If only there were a way to draw them all out at once—numbers wouldn’t matter if it meant avoiding the hassle of dealing with them one by one.Just as he was lamenting the lack of a perfect plan, his peripheral vision caught a small red dot resting on Octavia’s head.His pupils shrank sharply. “Watch out!”In the next instant, he appeared at her side and shoved her away.Octavia barely had time to react before a bullet struck the ground, leaving a small crater where she had just stood.“A sniper?”She locked eyes with Adrian. “It must be those dark web assassins—they’ve already reached Skyline City!”Adrian nod

“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
Chapter 255
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
