Chapter 186
Adrian sat down and let out a breath. "There were many traps in there. I was forced to release my power."Jade stared at Adrian in amazement. He still remembered how Adrian had been unaffected by Ruby's energy blast. And not long ago he had felt an earthquake that made the river churn because of Adrian."You are very strong, Mr. Reid."Adrian smiled faintly. "Thank you."Jade began to move the oars away from the waterfall. His curiosity about Ronin and the secret villa made him ask, "What did you find in there?"Adrian let out a breath. "A lot. Too much."He took out the maps and Ronin's notebook from inside his jacket. Jade's eyes widened when he saw the maps."That... that belongs to Ronin?"Adrian nodded. "He stored everything. Data about the child mutant modification laboratories, photos of the victims, a list of targets and so on."Jade received one of the maps and opened it. Inside were photos of child mutants who had become victims. Jade covered his mouth. His eyes welled up wi

Adrian slid down with the collapsing floor. He landed on a large, soft bed.For a moment he let out a breath and did not want to get up."This place is completely insane."Dust was still flying above him, but down here the air was different. Drier. Cleaner. As if there was a ventilation system still working.Adrian got up from the bed. He turned to the nightstand. There was a wedding photo of Ronin and Elsa. The room was also quite spacious with good, expensive furniture like a VIP room in a five-star hotel.If the room were photographed, people would not believe it was inside a cave and had almost killed him.On the other side of the room there was a sofa and also a grand piano.Adrian's eyebrows furrowed. Yes, he was not seeing things. There really was a grand piano in that room.In his heart Adrian wondered and could not fathom why Ronin would have thought to bring a grand piano to a place like this.Because he was tired, Adrian finally decided to sit on the chair in front of the p

Both of Adrian's hands clenched tightly. "Damn it."Then he said, "I am a messenger from the Harvey family. Can you not make those traps stop working?"Bony shook his head. "Unfortunately I cannot."Adrian asked again, "Why is that?""Even though I am not an intruder.""I am the person sent by the Harvey family to restore Ronin's name."Bony did not answer right away and the blue light in both eye sockets blinked. "It is not that I do not want to help you or assist you.""But I was simply not equipped with the program to activate and stop the traps.""That means being allowed to enter does not mean you will definitely be able to leave safely.""Only Mr. Ronin can stop those traps."Even so Adrian was not afraid and looked at Bony. "I understand.""Now please open the villa door for me."Bony nodded, then said, "Open the door."Not long after, the stone behind Bony creaked and revealed a door.Before entering, Adrian turned to Bony. "Is there another robot or another person inside?"Bo

Jade brought Adrian to the waterfall. Not long after, they arrived at the waterfall.A gentle breeze brushed against Adrian and Jade, making their hair flutter. The atmosphere around the waterfall was very calm and the air was very cool.Jade said after pulling his rowboat to the side. "We have arrived."Adrian nodded. "Thank you.""Please wait for me until the afternoon. If the sun has set and I have not returned, just leave me. It is fine."Jade answered firmly, "Understood."Adrian walked carefully on the slippery rocks, then passed through the waterfall. From his boat, Jade could not see what happened to Adrian.Suddenly Jade wanted to say something. "Mr. Reid!"But Adrian could no longer hear him.Behind the waterfall, Adrian observed the high stone wall. At a glance the stone wall looked ordinary. There was no special carving, no button, and no place to insert a key or scan the dog tag that supposedly had a chip inside it.Adrian felt around the wall. Then he found a different s

Adrian and Jade sat together on a worn-out carpet. Ruby went to the kitchen and returned with a plate full of grilled fish.Ruby placed the plate in front of Adrian and Jade, then he went back to the kitchen and returned with a pitcher of water, three glasses, three plates, and three forks and three knives.Jade stared in astonishment. "You really grilled fish."Ruby laughed as he went to the kitchen. "Of course."Not long after, Ruby returned again and placed a basket of blackberries on the table."Please enjoy the meal."Adrian took one of the grilled fish from the top and tasted it. "Ruby, your grilled fish is delicious."Ruby smiled broadly. "Thank you.""You can eat as much as you like."Adrian laughed softly, then continued his breakfast.Jade took two grilled fish and placed them on two plates. Then, spontaneously, Jade cut up the fish on Ruby's plate.Ruby took his plate. "What are you doing?""Do you think I am a kindergarten kid who needs to be served?"Jade was not offended

"You bastard, it hurts so much!"Both of Ruby's eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. He thrashed and released an energy blast. Jade was thrown and crashed into the wooden wall of the treehouse until it broke."Brak!"Adrian pressed Ruby's chest. "Stay still!"Ruby was still thrashing, but he could not move at all.After that Adrian ran toward the hole in the wall and jumped down. "Jade!"The blond man was lying on the ground and vomiting blood.Adrian approached him. "Do not move yet."Adrian checked Jade's pulse. "Hold on a moment, you have internal injuries.""I will use acupuncture."Jade did not say anything and only nodded. Then Adrian inserted four needles into Jade's chest and stomach.Adrian looked up. From below Ruby's screams were clearly heard. But because his body was locked, he was safe enough to be left alone.He asked, "Does Ruby often go berserk like that?"Jade nodded weakly. "Yes. But I am used to it and can handle his anger."For a moment n
