Adrian held the Divine Frost Slayer Blade in his hands as he asked the question, stunning Llyod greatly. He had not expected Adrian to be a Grandmaster—even 100 of him would not stand a chance against Adrian."I... I didn't mean it that way..." Llyod stammered.Adrian chuckled, intending to teach Llyod a lesson. He wanted to show him that even as governor's son, he was still just trash in this world.Just then, someone entered through the entrance of the banquet hall. It was a middle-aged man dressed in formal attire. Even though he had gray hair gracing his temples, his eyes were sharp—individuals like him were often more complex than they seemed."Who's bullying my son?" the man asked as he entered. A dozen young men in formal attire followed him, each carrying various gifts."Uh... Mr. Ivan, things aren't what you think. It's just a minor dispute between young people!" Herald said as he nervously walked up to him.Their relationship had been fairly amicable before, but Ivan ha

"Then do you know who I am?" Adrian asked back, and Ivan's expression turned dark. Truth be told, he did not want to antagonize a Grandmaster. However, the Pintzers were important to him. Without them, it would be hard to secure his position in this chaotic era. Therefore, he had to ensure Llyod married Sherri.As a consequence, Adrian naturally became their enemy. It was a choice he had to make. What he did not anticipate was that Adrian seemed unaware of the consequences of provoking him.Ivan glared at Adrian. "You'll know the consequences of crossing me!"He would not dare to confront Adrian directly because he was a Grandmaster. The people around him were no match for Adrian. However, he could get even more formidable individuals to deal with Adrian. Since Rufus had become the mayor of Leafall, Ivan naturally had to maintain a good relationship with him. The two had been almost inseparable during this time. Being an outsider, Rufus hoped to solidify his position as the mayo

Ivan and Lloyd turned their heads to look at Adrian coldly as if saying to him that he was doomed."Greetings, Mr. Rufus!" As the host of the banquet, Herald greeted Rufus with Ivan. Rufus was not clad in armor today. Instead, he wore the traditional warrior attire of Obscura City. His aide, Ilyas, was walking next to him.Upon seeing Ivan, Rufus smiled. He had a good impression of Ivan. On the first day of his tenure, Ivan had sent him over a dozen crates of gold, silver, and jewels. Therefore, when he received the notification from Ivan, he promptly came.In addition to aiding Ivan, Rufus sought to assert his authority. His tenure as mayor was brief, and with Quintin's prolonged presence, he lacked the chance to assert himself. He aimed to demonstrate his leadership once Quintin departed.When a conflict emerged with his governor, Rufus perceived it as an ideal moment to establish dominance over the troublemaker."Hail the mayor!""Long live, Mr. Rufus!" Rufus smiled in sat

Many attended the party to entertain themselves, but now they realized that they were going to get implicated as well. No one was innocent during a war."Mr. Adrian, in my view, tonight's incident is just a misunderstanding," Ilyas said as Rufus had become too nervous to speak. "Really? And how is it a misunderstanding?" Adrian asked calmly. Ilyas was stumped because he had no idea what had happened tonight. When he saw Sherri by Adrian's side, as well as Lloyd on the other side, he instantly understood everything."Lloyd! Come here and explain to Mr. Adrian what exactly happened!" Ilyas suddenly turned around and pointed to Lloyd, who stood there silently.Lloyd did not hesitate and nervously walked over. He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Adrian, it was all a misunderstanding. My feelings for Sherri have completely dissipated now. You two can be together without any interference from me in the future!"Sherri glanced at Lloyd disdainfully, her certainty about him solidifying

However, it was nothing but a scratch for Adrian. "Is one punch enough? The entire Obscura, including Leafall, have deep enmity with me," Adrian said.Sherri's tears flowed down. She still liked Adrian, and this contradiction left her deeply conflicted. Unfortunately, she could not change the fact that she was a resident of Obscura.This punch was just a means of venting, and Adrian's words shattered her last bit of fantasy. They indeed had deep enmity with Adrian. This was something no one could change, not even Adrian himself."Why? Aren't you the heartless great devil of Silverboa who kills without blinking? Why didn't you kill me?" Sherri snarled.Adrian chuckled. "Why would I kill you? While there are instances when I resorted to killing, I'm not indiscriminate in my actions. In this world, some people deserve to die, and some have to be killed. But you, my friend, aren't one of them. So I'm not going to kill you."Anyway, I'm leaving. Live well in the future. With my influ
