The person was surprised to see Adrian remained calm and seated. It seemed to him that Adrian was not afraid of him, and this intrigued him. With a faint smile, he asked, "I'm Zephyr Stormwatcher. I didn't expect you to be so calm. Aren't you afraid of me?"Adrian laughed and said nonchalantly, "Afraid? What’s there to be afraid of? Are you going to eat me alive or kill me?"The person continued, "There were members of Stormwatchers among the ten people you killed earlier. Now that I've found you, you should be afraid of me."Understanding instantly dawned upon Adrian. It seemed to him that this man was here to avenge those people. However, he remained calm and replied indifferently, "I thought you were here for some other reason. No matter. Since I managed to kill those experts, I surely can deal with you. So, if you don't mind, I'm willing to have a little showdown with you."Everyone was stunned when they heard what Adrian said. The onlookers believed that Zephyr would surely

The man said, "It's simple really. I want to cooperate with you." Adrian was stunned. "Cooperate?" He had not anticipated the man to suddenly propose such an idea.The man continued, "Yes, I want to cooperate with you. I just hope you will agree to it." Adrian remained silent. After a moment, he let out a snort and said, "Fine, tell me about your proposition."The man seemed satisfied with this answer and nodded. He then signaled for Zephyr to leave, but Zephyr was reluctant to do so. The man urged him to leave, and with no alternative, Zephyr stamped his foot in annoyance before turning away and departing from the scene. Now, only two individuals remained on the scene—Adrian and the man. The other cafe patrons had retreated as well and were waiting outside the inn."What do you think? Is this enough to show my sincerity?" the man asked.Adrian replied, "I'll accept it. Now, tell me what this cooperation is about.”The person laughed. "Great. Let's discuss the details then.”

Adrian answered, "What I want to know is simple. Tell me about your idea of cooperation. If I find it suitable, I'll be willing to cooperate. Otherwise, I won't. After that, I don't mind if you try to kill me."Orion seemed surprised by Adrian's words as he had never encountered someone making such a request. Voluntarily asking him and his family to kill him was beyond his comprehension. Nevertheless, Orion remained unruffled. After all, there were all kinds of people in this world, and maybe Adrian was unique.Since Adrian insisted on hearing his thoughts, Orion said, "All right, since you asked, I'll tell you. The reason we want to cooperate with you is to jointly deal with a person. Or rather...a group of people."Afraid that Adrian would decline, Orion continued, "This group of people is related to you, Mr. Adrian. They harbor some animosity toward you, and they want you dead too." Adrian cocked an eyebrow and said, "I'm new here, so why would anyone want me dead? Unless that

But no matter how unbelievable they found it, things still unfolded the way they did. Therefore, people had no choice but to believe it. As for Adrian himself, he didn't care about what outsiders thought. After all, he wasn't negotiating with random people; he was negotiating with the Stormwatchers. Whatever conditions they gave him were entirely unrelated to outsiders.Following Orion, Adrian arrived at the Stormwatcher residence. The residence was situated within Heaven's End City, occupying a vast area. The enormous estate looked magnificent and grand.Adrian knew that as a major force within Heaven's End, the Stormwatchers undoubtedly possessed formidable influence. Outside the Stormwatcher estate were numerous guards, all standing ready and not allowing outsiders to easily enter.When Orion and others returned, these guards saluted. As they prepared to conduct a thorough inspection of Adrian, Orion said, "I hope you won’t mind, Mr. Adrian. We have no choice but to do this for s

Though they couldn’t figure out the entire situation, a little deduction allowed them to discern the basics. Therefore, the people present had no more questions.However, Zephyr still appeared visibly dissatisfied and questioned, "What? Are you doubting the strength of our family?" Orion shook his head. "Of course not. Why would I doubt the abilities of my own family? I'm just providing a basic comparison. If anyone thinks that our family can deal with him, then I have nothing to say." He seemed calm and indifferent to the situation.Zephyr grimaced, but he didn’t elaborate any further. Though he expressed his disagreement, he understood the implications of Orion’s words.No one in the crowd stood up to refute Orion. This was a testament that those present knew the difference in strength between the Stormwatchers and Adrian. The head of the family, Achilles Stormwatcher, spoke up, "That kid is very strong, and we have all witnessed it. But even so, we can’t let his strength over
