“All I knew was his name was Adrian,” James said. “Not long ago, an epidemic broke out in a town in the Sun Never Sets Kingdom. Mr.Doyle treated more than three hundred patients and eradicated the disease in a single day. When I heard, I went to his hotel to thank him in person. But I was too late. He’d just left. So I came to Skyline City to find him.”Speaking at such length in Chinese clearly took effort. James paused several times, but he persisted without an interpreter. Clayton Adams and Henry Hamilton appreciated the gesture.The two exchanged astonished looks. Neither had known Adrian had done anything so remarkable overseas—he’d cured more than three hundred patients in one go.Then again, thinking it over, perhaps it wasn’t so surprising.To be certain they were talking about the same man, Clayton showed James a photo of Adrian. James recognized him immediately, and the two men relaxed.“That makes things easy,” Clayton said. “We know Mr. Doyle. I can call him now.”James br

“If dual cultivation does us this much good, why don’t we try again?”Adrian was so startled he stammered. “Uh, Senior Sister, shouldn’t you rest? Isn’t this a little—”Before he could finish, Nora pushed him onto the bed.Half an hour later, they lay side by side. Nora Simpson checked the energy within her and frowned. “Adrian, did you advance?”Adrian checked his own cultivation. “It’s increased, but—”Nora rolled over and pinned him down again. “If you haven’t advanced, let’s try one more time!”An hour later, Nora finally had to admit they weren’t going to break through again. She looked disappointed.“Why did it work last night but not today? What changed?”“Cultivation takes time,” Adrian said, trying to comfort her. “An increase is already a good sign. You probably have a special constitution that hasn’t fully awakened yet.”Nora sighed. “All right. It’s getting late. Let’s wash up and go have breakfast. The others are probably downstairs already.”She was right. By the time th

Mystic Rakshasa looked at Elder Yaksha. “With the seventh elder going, we stand a good chance. But to make certain, another elder should go with him. That boy is too dangerous. We must strike with overwhelming force and kill him in one blow.”Another elder stepped forward. He wore rough linen, and a tattoo covered half his homely face.“Chief, I’ll go with Yaksha.”He was Ancient Fork, the Rakshasa clan’s tenth elder, and a formidable fighter in his own right.Mystic Rakshasa nodded with satisfaction. “With both of you going, I can rest easier. I’ve also contacted the Azure Lotus Sword Sect. They have a blood feud with the boy, so we’ll work together to kill him.”The others nodded. The Azure Lotus Sword Sect was one of the leading powers in the ancient martial arts world. With both sides joining forces, killing one young man should be simple....At the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, a grim mood hung over the vast compound.Sect Master Sebastian Lin slammed his palm down, shattering the cha

“But let’s be clear: I’ll make the introductions. Whether anything comes of them is up to you.”Daisy smiled. “Don’t worry, Sis. You’re doing this for me, so I’ll work hard. I won’t let you down.”They drove to Nora Simpson’s villa.Emptiness, Octavia, and Iris Lloyd stared at the estate in disbelief. The grounds were enormous, with everything they could think of: a playground, a golf course, even a private airfield.“Wow. This place must have cost a fortune. Nora, you really don’t hold back!”Nora Simpson smiled and waved a hand. “It’s nothing much. Just over two billion. If you like it, I can introduce you to the developer. You could get one too.”The others fell silent. There was no way they could afford that.At the largest, most luxurious villa in the center of the estate, Adrian helped Nora Simpson out of the car.“The whole place is empty except for my room, so take whichever rooms you like. Make yourselves at home. If you don’t have plans for the next few days, stay and have s

Pink balloons began to rise into the sky.Hundreds, then thousands floated overhead, each carrying a birthday wish for Nora Simpson. The sight was so beautiful no one wanted to look away.Gasps rippled through the crowd. As the fireworks formed one final message across the sky, they faded out.“Nora Simpson, happy birthday. May every year bring you a day as wonderful as this one.”Adrian softly read the words to her.The rooftop restaurant fell silent. Everyone was still caught up in the romance of it all.“Adrian!”An angry roar shattered the moment.The crowd turned toward Abel Brooks. His eyes were red with fury, and he looked like a trapped animal.He was the young master of the Brooks family in the capital. He’d had everything his way since birth, grown up surrounded by admirers, and gone on to rule the northern underworld. No woman he wanted had ever been out of reach.Yet this brat had just made him look like a fool. Abel couldn’t bear the humiliation.Nora Simpson stepped in f

The crowd wasn’t the only one stunned. Daisy and Nora Simpson could hardly believe their eyes.Now Daisy understood why none of her calls to Adrian had gone through today. He’d been busy preparing this enormous surprise.How much must he care about Nora to do all this?The thought, the love, the tenderness—and the connections it must have taken. He’d put it all together in barely more than a day.Adrian was giving Nora Simpson a birthday celebration from all of Brocade City. It was his way of telling her how he felt.Daisy’s emotions tangled together. She was happy for them, but she couldn’t help feeling a pang of jealousy.Nora Simpson gazed up at the sky, tears in her eyes and happiness all over her face.The falling rose petals brought back a promise Adrian had made when they were children.Nora had loved roses back then, but she could only admire the ones other people had. Adrian, small and skinny at the time, had told her that when he grew up, he’d find a way to give her a rain o
