Theron's knees couldn't support his trembling body. He fell forward with both hands braced on the floor. His heavy, desperate sobs filled the room.

"We're... we're ruined..."

Cressida was no better. Her crying exploded, hysterical. She knelt beside her husband, shaking Theron's shoulders.

"Theron, get up! Do something! He's going to destroy everything!"

But Theron only shook his head weakly. All arrogance, all distrust, had been crushed by reality harder than stone. A Governor who was the pinna

Chapter 123
That morning, as scheduled, Adrian and his group were going to the Golden Cobra Guild headquarters. That same morning, Anders had been discharged from the medical center and came to see Adrian.Evelina asked, "Are you really fully recovered?"Anders nodded. "Yes, I'm fully recovered. Thanks to Mr. Reid's treatment last night, I was able to rest well. And this morning, I've healed."He bowed respectfully to Adrian. Adrian smiled. Then he asked, "How about Mr. Farley? Is he healed?"Anders nodded. "I think so. Early this morning, his family came, and he looked healthier even though he was using a wheelchair."Evelina smiled in relief. "Thank goodness he's alright."However, suddenly Anders's expression turned worried. "Miss Harvey, this morning I saw on the news that there was a fire at the Kagluadal harbor project. Is that true?"Evelina nodded. "Yes, it's true."Anders continued, "I'm sorry I just found out and couldn't help."Adrian answered, "It's okay. You were still recovering la

The firefighters followed Evelina's instructions. The firefighting efforts focused on the west and slowly moved east until all the flames were extinguished, leaving only smoke behind.After the fire was out, Adrian returned to Evelina, who had been waiting for him. They were both drenched in sweat, even though it was night and the wind was blowing quite strong.Evelina asked, her brow arched with concern, "Adrian, are you alright?"Adrian nodded. "Yes, I'm fine."Evelina breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're safe and the fire is out."She looked at the southern part of the harbor, untouched by the flames. "You really saved me from a huge loss."Adrian answered, "I'm a board leader at Strong Harvey Group now. Your loss is my loss too."In the middle of this chaos, Evelina finally smiled, feeling that she wasn't alone.Roran, on the other hand, sneered. "The fire may be out, but the governor will still demand compensation."He looked at Adrian with a cynical stare, then turn

Roran glanced at Adrian, then back at Evelina. "I've booked two rooms. One for me, one for the two of you."Evelina frowned. "The two of us?""Yes. You're partners, aren't you? I thought you'd want to stay together." Roran smiled, but his eyes were cold.Adrian answered casually. "No need. I can book my own room."Roran shrugged. "Suit yourself."They walked toward the hotel across from the stadium. A tall building with warm lights at the entrance. When they reached the reception desk, a woman handed them three key cards.Roran took one. "Get some rest."He entered his room without looking back.Adrian and Evelina walked to their rooms, which were next to each other. At the door, they stopped.Evelina gripped her key card tightly. "Adrian.""Yes?""Thank you. For today."Adrian smiled faintly. "You're welcome. Good night.""Good night."They entered their respective rooms.That night, the fireworks had stopped, and only the city lights still glowed.Evelina took off her shoes and sat

After taking enough photos, Evelina asked, "What's next?"Adrian answered, "Of course, get Vukiofras."Evelina replied, "But Mr. Farley is badly injured.""I don't think it's appropriate to ask for that plant today.""Besides, it's already late at night."Adrian answered, "Actually, we should see Mr. Farley now.""He's in critical condition. If I don't help him soon, he could die."Evelina's brow arched. "Is it really that serious?"Adrian nodded firmly. "Yes."Without wasting time, the two of them left the stage together and disappeared into the stadium corridor.Soon, they arrived at the medical room where tournament participants were treated.The atmosphere in the medical room felt much calmer than the still-roaring stadium. Neon lights flickered softly above the patient beds.Kieran lay on the farthest bed, his body wrapped in bandages, his left arm in a cast. His eyes were open, staring at the ceiling.On the bed next to him, Anders with his crocodile body was also lying there, hi

The crowd's cheers had not yet subsided after the final was announced. Adrian's name was still being shouted from every corner of the stadium. "ADRIAN! ADRIAN! ADRIAN!" But amid the euphoria, other voices began to emerge. Debates were inevitable. "I'm telling you, Adrian's going to win!" "Seriously? He's strong, but he's up against Kieran Farley!" Some spectators looked extremely excited. Their eyes sparkled with conviction. "You saw it yourself earlier, right? Aurox was crushed without a real fight!" "If he could do that to Aurox, it's not impossible he could beat Kieran too!" But not everyone agreed. Others simply shook their heads. "You're jumping to conclusions too quickly." "Adrian is strong, but Kieran is different." "He's not the kind of fighter who can be beaten by strength alone." "Kieran analyzes his opponents." "He doesn't fight carelessly." "And most importantly..." "He hasn't shown his true abilities yet." The debate grew more heated. On one side, Adrian's

BOOM!!All eyes turned toward the shattered stadium wall. For the first time in years since the Strearia Fire Combat Tournament had been held, a participant had been thrown out and broken through the stadium itself.“Was that magic?”“Aurox flew?”“So… is the fight already over?”They looked back toward the ring, and their eyes didn’t deceive them. Aurox was truly gone.“Only Adrian Reid remains in the ring!”In the VIP section, Evelina’s eyes lit up. “Oh my God, that was so fast!”“Thank goodness he’s safe!”Meanwhile, Roran clenched his fists tightly.Damn it! How did Aurox lose?It should’ve been Adrian thrown out of the ring!I can’t let him get any closer to Evelina!Down in the arena, the MC stood frozen for a moment before quickly regaining his composure. He stepped into the center of the ring, glancing once more toward the massive hole in the stadium wall.“Ladies and gentlemen…” he said, his voice carrying both disbelief and excitement.“I… I think we all just witnessed somet
