Chapter 34
Adrian fell silent, understanding very well every detail Anders described. But then he asked, "Are you sure you want to hear my diagnosis?""Because it might not be what you've thought all this time."Anders's forehead furrowed. Actually he wasn't too sure, but the doctors' words that often trivialized his complaints made him always want to seek other alternatives.And this time in front of Adrian he nodded. "Yes, just say it. Whatever it is. I'll listen."Adrian nodded. "You said your daughter was weak, right? She's not the only cause of Leo's special condition."The furrow on Anders's forehead deepened. "What do you mean?""What you mentioned earlier aren't symptoms of a disease."Adrian explained, "What's actually happening is Leo inherited special powers from his father, but he inherited a weak body from his mother.""He was born with high-level psionic abilities. Abilities that should be possessed by a Sigma-class mutant or even higher.""In the future, if he survives and is able

Anders's mind was in chaos. Just moments ago he had felt he would win and receive a large reward because of his brilliant tactics.But in reality, not only could Adrian survive at the bottom of the pool, but he could also deliver a counterattack to him.As someone respected by guild members and Vecredal's underground world, Anders felt deeply struck and humiliated.Adrian spoke indifferently, "So is that all the power The Horned Crocodile has?""Are the rumors that have been circulating all this time just exaggerated?"Anders's forehead furrowed. He was truly on the brink of death, but Adrian showed no signs of difficulty at all after being submerged in the pool.Anders's breathing sounded like a drowning person even though he was already on land. With a hoarse voice and gasping breath, "You... can't possibly be an ordinary human...""Tell me you're a mutant."Adrian didn't answer that question. Instead, his cold eyes scanned the injured Anders."Ability to breathe in water. Delta-typ

Adrian turned and observed the man. With a flat voice, Adrian said, "Let me guess. You must be the leader of the Red Eagle Guild."The man laughed dryly. "Yes. I'm Anders Cole."Adrian commented, "Oh, so you're the one they call The Horned Crocodile."Anders didn't deny it and only smiled coldly.The name Anders Cole was quite famous in Vecredal's underground circles. He wasn't just a martial arts guild leader, but also had wide influence due to his unusual powers and was known as The Horned Crocodile.Even so, Adrian wasn't intimidated in the slightest. He spoke cynically, "So you're the mastermind who wrecked my shop and almost killed my friend."The corner of Anders's lips lifted. He spoke indifferently, "I was just working."Both of Anders's hands clenched tightly and his muscles tensed. Then he spoke in a low, oppressive tone. "But you slaughtered my men in my territory."Adrian answered indifferently, "I was just protecting myself."Anders looked at Adrian with disgust. "Is that
Chapter 31
Adrian sneered in disgust at Cedric, who was acting like a hero. "Are you sure you're the one who saved her?"To gain Elysia's trust, Cedric answered without hesitation, "Do you think I came here with my team to play around?""You're mistaken if you think the Rios family is like that."Then he turned to Elysia and spoke gently, "Earlier your brother, Maverick, contacted me. He asked me to get you out of here."Although the sentence was spoken gently, Elysia immediately realized the weight and pressure of that statement on her family. She knew very well what the Rios family was like and how they viewed third-class families like hers.Unexpectedly, Cedric removed the jacket he was wearing and wrapped Elysia's body. "Don't let those perverted eyes stare at you carelessly."Then without waiting for Elysia's approval, Cedric ordered the medical team to take Elysia to the stretcher and head to the ambulance.Adrian stood in front of Elysia. "Stop. She can't be taken away now."Cedric, who w

The pool water began filling Elysia's lungs.At death's doorstep, Elysia found herself remembering fragments of moments she had spent with Adrian and Alistair, like watching a documentary film.In her memories, Adrian was indeed not a man from a wealthy family. Even so, he was always there.In fact, Adrian had motivated her to realize AEON, which originally started because she wanted to heal depression patients, just as she had once been depressed after Alistair's death.It could be said that AEON was Elysia's monument of love for Alistair.But none of that mattered now, because in a moment she would leave this world forever.Meanwhile, after breaking through the last corridor, Adrian found the pool.Adrian's chest tightened when he saw the hand hanging with the head already fully submerged beneath the surface of the black water.From above, no movement was visible at all. Only occasionally did small air bubbles rise to the surface."Elys!"Without a second thought, Adrian plunged int

The man in the black leather jacket then stepped out of the Vecredal Hospital lobby. Outside was already quiet, but he saw an elderly, large-built man with a thick mustache who had just parked his Harley-Davidson Fat Boy.Without a second thought, Adrian approached the old man."Good evening, sir, sorry to bother you. I'd like to borrow your bike until morning. Is it possible? I'll give a $5000 deposit and my ID."The old man frowned, looking Adrian up and down. "Borrow? Who are you? I don't know you.""It's an emergency, sir," Adrian answered curtly.His eyes quickly scanned the bike's condition. It still looked good. "In that case, I'll just buy it."The old man's eyes widened. "Buy? This is a new bike—""$25,000, I'll transfer it now." Adrian had already taken out his smartphone and opened the banking app.Hearing that number, the old man's face changed. It was more than the price of his new bike. "Are you sure?""Yes." Adrian nodded firmly. "I'm not tricking you. I'll make the tra
