Chapter 356
Now that Adrian had learned what he needed to know, there was no reason to keep questioning Arthur Barrett.But as though the memories of that day had triggered him all over again, Arthur Barrett began muttering to himself without pause.That was no longer something medicine alone could solve."Director Barrett needs psychological treatment now. You'll have to send him to a professional."Though Adrian addressed the officials present, his eyes were fixed on Ophelia.Ophelia let out a sigh. "I hate it when people speak to me in a commanding tone."Even so, she still instructed several staff members to take Arthur Barrett away for proper psychiatric care.With matters here more or less settled, Adrian took Daisy to the place where Russell Sanders had cornered them that day.By the time their group arrived, Quentin Newman had already sent people to search the area thoroughly."Mr. Doyle, we haven't found anything useful here. It's as if every trace was wiped away."Since he had failed to

"Good. I'll send you an address. Head there shortly."Adrian then gave them a brief account of what had happened to Iris Lloyd before ending the call.The group got into the car, but the route they took was not the one leading to the place where Iris Lloyd had fought those two Taoist priests."Brother Adrian, are we heading to the company?"Octavia did not understand why they were making for the company first, and Adrian answered calmly."Let's go take a look. I have a feeling the Sanders family's target isn't just the Hill family."If the Sanders family were merely settling old scores with the Hill family, then however deep the grudge might have been, such minor friction would never justify this kind of exterminating blow.After all, the Hill family was still one of Skyline City's four great families.But if the matter touched upon the Sanders family's standing in Skyline City, then using such ruthless methods would not be out of character at all."I'm afraid the Sanders family has o

Only when they stepped into the hospital room did they realize there were already several people inside.Adrian knew them as well—Vincent Wallace and the others, all famed physicians in their own right.The moment Vincent Wallace saw Adrian, he hurried over and began reporting on the condition of the two elderly men."Mr. Doyle, the three of us have already examined them. Both gentlemen ended up like this because they were poisoned."William Lane, Lorenzo Watson, and Yè immediately came over as well."Our abilities are limited. We could tell it was poisoning, but we couldn't determine what kind."William Lane spoke with visible guilt, while Lorenzo Watson wore a look of utter defeat."Those people have gone too far."Adrian had not even waited for them to finish before he had already reached old Mr. Hill's bedside.The old man's face was twisted in pain, his complexion dark and bruised with a bluish-black cast. It was obvious the affliction had tormented him cruelly.Adrian reached ou

“How utterly deranged. If you like someone, you pursue her—yet you chose to drug her instead?”Emptiness sighed, closing his eyes as he shook his head.Hopeless. This man was beyond saving.“In such a state, even a monk would find you contemptible.”He exchanged a glance with Adrian, who gave a slight nod.Understanding at once, Emptiness drew a breath, lifted his leg, and kicked Timothy Lane clean off his feet.This time, the force far exceeded even Adrian’s earlier strike.Timothy Lane was sent soaring, his back crashing into the floor-to-ceiling window of the presidential suite.In the next instant, the glass shattered completely. Before he could even process what was happening, the sensation of weightlessness seized him—so overwhelming he couldn’t even scream.Fifty floors.More than enough to end a life.“Amitabha… may mercy prevail…”Adrian glanced at the blood covering Emptiness and couldn’t help but feel a flicker of speechlessness.Of all that blood, not a single drop belonge

The martial artists were infuriated by Emptiness’s attitude, each one cracking their knuckles, eager to teach him a lesson.As for Emptiness—he truly did not take them seriously at all.The presidential suite was well soundproofed. Despite the fierce clash outside—though, in truth, it had been nothing more than Adrian’s one-sided domination—not a single sound reached Timothy Lane.Steam filled the bathroom as he hummed in high spirits, while in the bedroom, Tabitha Grant lay sprawled across the bed.Timothy Lane had a habit of showering beforehand. Tabitha had simply been tossed onto the bed without ceremony.By the time he stepped out, wrapped in nothing but a towel, Tabitha was just beginning to stir.The first thing she saw was him.In an instant, she realized what had happened. She struggled to rise—but her body refused to respond.Even moving a finger felt impossibly difficult.“You drugged the wine?”The moment she looked at him, disgust spilled uncontrollably into her eyes.Thi

As soon as the call connected, Adrian spoke first.“Hello. Adrian speaking.”Clayton Adams, who had been in the middle of a meeting, immediately halted proceedings the moment he heard Adrian’s voice and stepped out of the conference room.“Mr. Doyle—what’s happened?”Over the past few days, overwhelmed with official duties, Clayton Adams had been deliberately kept in the dark by certain parties. He had no idea Skyline City had already undergone a drastic shift.Nor did he know what the Hill family was facing.After Adrian laid out the situation in concise terms, Clayton Adams’s expression grew increasingly grave.“I’m sorry—I truly didn’t expect something like this to happen.”“Mr. Doyle, do what you must. Within the scope of my authority, I will give you my fullest support.”That was all Adrian needed to hear.What he required was precisely this stance—so that when he acted, there would be no restraints holding him back.Clayton Adams added a final warning.“For them to act so brazen
