Halfway through his protest, Emptiness realized how it sounded. He tried to explain, but no words came.Octavia Isaacson’s face had gone dark as thunderclouds. If not for Adrian’s presence, she might already have struck him.Adrian stepped in with a rueful smile. “That’s Tristan. His gift is reading the truth in people’s thoughts. You’ll get used to it—eventually.”Watching Emptiness flounder—so familiar, so startled—Adrian was reminded of his own first day in the Dark Chamber, and he couldn’t help but feel a touch of schadenfreude.Emptiness scratched his head and managed a sheepish grin. “The world really is full of wonders. Guess I learned something new tonight.”Octavia snorted. “Big Brother Adrian, who are these people?”“They’re friends of mine—Octavia, Emptiness, and Iris Lloyd. They’re here to help.”Then Adrian glanced at Naomi and added casually, “Captain Norris, he’s also wondering how a ‘little loli’ ended up in charge.”The eased tension snapped taut again.Emptiness shot

By evening, Adrian and his companions chose not to rush out of the capital. They would stay one night, then return.After dinner, they retired to their rooms.He had just settled cross-legged to cultivate when Benson Doyle called.“Mr. Doyle, are you asleep?”Adrian’s voice held a cool distance. “Not yet. What is it, Chairman Doyle? Don’t tell me it’s still about those two muddleheaded vice chairmen.”Benson hurried to reassure him. “Mr. Doyle, you saved my life—I stand firmly with you. I’ve heard the three vice chairmen mean to report everything to the chairman when he returns and let him decide. I’m worried this may bring you trouble.”Adrian frowned. “It’s all the same to me. If the chairman’s as waterlogged in the head as those three old men, I won’t mind giving him a proper rinse.”Benson jolted. “Mr. Doyle—the chairman is very strong. Exceptionally so. You’re formidable, but if you two cross paths, I can’t promise you’ll remain unbeaten. I called to warn you—to make preparations

“I never planned to lean on any of you. If Siam refuses to accept this, they can come find me. However many they send, I, Adrian, will cut down the lot.”The thunder of it made the three vice chairmen frown.“Boy, you are strong, yes—but far too arrogant. Today’s fault is yours. How do you intend to wriggle free of it?”Victor Reed and Walter Simpson could not shake the dread gnawing at them as they thought of the Siamese elites who lay dead on their grounds. If Siam came to demand blood, what then? The boy was formidable, but he bowed to no one. Better to hand him over and cool Siam’s fury than keep such a wild blade within their walls.Vincent Adams stood by, brows knit, silent—watching.Adrian knew exactly what was running through their minds, and the knowledge made him laugh.“Vice chairmen of the association’s headquarters—yet nothing but cowards. So what if Siam marches over in outrage? I have the strength to make them stay. You’ve lived most of your lives and still don’t grasp

“I am Sean, the Steel Gun King of Siam!”“I am Mario, the Battle Axe of Siam!”“I am—”Adrian waved a hand, impatient. “Spare me the introductions. To me, you’re already dead men walking. Names don’t matter.”His words snapped the six of them like a whip. They roared and charged.Adrian stood his ground at the center of the arena. A golden barrier flared around him, solid as a sunlit bastion, swallowing the storm of their assault.These six were stronger than those before—one at the very peak of the Mythical Tier, the others at mid-Mythical. Together, their onslaught was something even the three vice chairmen wouldn’t dare take head-on.Yet Adrian endured it—flat-footed, unharmed. The shield didn’t so much as quiver.“This kid’s strength is absurd. Someone this powerful and this young—we’ve never even heard of him,” Vincent Adams breathed.“Absurd or not, he dies here,” Walter Simpson said, eyes like ice.It was plain now: Walter Simpson and Victor Reed had set their hearts on killing

“What you’ve done—never mind the Kingdom of Siam—even within our own Novaland Republic Martial Association, you will not be easily forgiven.”Adrian burst into wild laughter.It was laughter steeped in scorn, laced with a bleak, simmering fury.He pointed at Conrad Tate and the others standing off to the side with folded arms, watching the spectacle, and his voice rang out like iron striking stone. “Who slaughtered the innocent? Who sinned first? They know the answer better than anyone.”Conrad Tate’s reply was cold as steel. “Boy, you murdered the venerable master of the Ivory Elephant Temple of Siam and countless monks. That is an ironclad fact. What’s left to argue?”The dead could not speak, and the earth had already claimed them. He did not believe Adrian could possibly exonerate himself now.In Novaland, the dead are to be honored.“Aren’t you curious?” Adrian’s gaze swept across them. “Then I’ll lay out exactly what happened. Remember this: I, Adrian, am not afraid. I am restor

“You showing up here today is disappointment enough,” Iris Lloyd said coldly. “If there’s nothing else, you should leave.”Caught between loyalty and duty, Benson Doyle and his two companions stood in an impossible spot. They trusted Adrian more—but they were men of the Association. At this point, there was no good choice.They sighed, said their farewells, and left the villa.The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Adrian meant to go to the capital’s Association alone, but Octavia and the others insisted on accompanying him. He relented and brought them along.At the airport, Daisy calmly straightened his collar. “I can’t stop you from doing what you’ve decided to do. I only want one thing—that you come back safe.”Adrian kissed her cheek. “I promise.”Near noon, they landed in the capital.The moment they stepped off the plane, four members of the capital branch were waiting for them.Adrian’s mouth curled into a dry laugh.Benson Doyle greeted them awkwardly, the
