The situation in Ciawales was dangerous. If they weren’t careful, Primeria could take advantage of the situation.Looking at the ministers before him, Basil said, "What are the best strategies? Gentlemen? At this point, we should be receiving news from the borders soon.”Upon hearing this, many of the ministers lowered their heads and didn’t dare to speak up. After all, some of them had no real power. They were only in their positions because of their family’s influence in the court. Their strength was limited, so they chose to remain silent, fearing that Basil would send them to fight. If they were to face Primeria’s forces in a life-and-death struggle, it would probably be death for them."Your Majesty, I humbly request that you send troops to march on Primeria. They have gone too far. We must defeat them and make them flee. Thirty years ago, Ciawales commanded respect, and thirty years later, we will make them fear us again and force them to surrender," an elderly minister spoke

Michael smiled faintly and said, "Don’t worry, Renee. Although my strength isn’t great, anyone who wants to kill me will have to see if they’re strong enough."Michael’s strength was considerable, and at this moment, he was very clear about what he intended to do next. He had his thoughts and plans.Renee showed a hint of helplessness. She knew that if Michael said this, then he must have made up his mind. There was no point in saying more as it would only be futile.Looking at him, she said helplessly, "Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t stop you. I just hope you stay safe wherever you go. And don’t do anything reckless. If there’s any danger, make sure to retreat. Besides, Primeria hasn’t even decided where to send their troops from, so you don’t need to rush into things.”Michael smiled. "I believe it’ll be soon."Thud, thud, thud…Just as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. One of Michael’s subordinates rushed in, looking extremely flustered.M

Michael was astonished by the unexpected comfort he felt, alongside the strange memories that didn’t belong to him. The images, the training methods in those memories… They were all foreign to him, yet they felt so real.He looked at Adrian, his eyes filled with excitement and gratitude. "How can I thank you, Sir Adrian? This training method you gave me is something I’ve never heard of or seen before. I can’t believe such a powerful technique exists."Michael was utterly shocked. He couldn’t find the words to express his astonishment. All he could do was stare at Adrian, completely overwhelmed.Adrian smiled. "Don’t mention it. You’re safe now, and you understand my purpose. So, we’re just helping each other out." His tone was calm and nonchalant as if it was something as simple as handing over a tool. To him, it was indeed nothing, just a simple gesture.Michael looked at Adrian with even greater gratitude, his eyes filled with so much emotion that he couldn’t even speak.Renee w

Half a month passed in the blink as Adrian trained. Meanwhile, he also investigated the Sixth Courtyard. Although his strength had steadily risen, he did not know what to say about it.During that time, Renee grew closer to Adrian. It was like she wanted to show him that she would be beside him the whole time. But even so, she did not fully understand the situation.Adrian had experienced a significant strength increase, which greatly surprised Renee. She was astonished to see him making so much progress in such a short time. After all, he had improved so quickly in just half a month.Soon after, news spread like wildfire throughout Ciawales. Primeria had defeated Michael, and his whereabouts were unknown. The news shocked everyone as they never expected Michael to lose.Ciawales City was in chaos and panic. People speculated that Primeria’s warriors had killed Michael.In the Sixth Courtyard, Renee looked at Adrian and said, "What should we do, Sir Adrian? Michael has disappeared

Ricky thought he no longer needed to be polite, considering Adrian’s unreasonable attitude. The air grew heavy as if both sides were about to clash. They stared at each other, seemingly ready to strike each other down.Renee, caught in the middle, appeared anxious and conflicted. She understood the situation perfectly. Adrian’s status was undoubtedly high, and his strength proved he was fearless in any challenge.In contrast, Ricky was favored by the king. He was arrogant and haughty with whoever he dealt with. Bystanders would even misunderstand the situation and think Ricky and Adrian had beef.Renee quickly defused the tension, saying, “Don’t be stubborn, Mr. Ricky. Please inform my father that Sir Adrian and I have come to discuss the situation regarding Michael.”Ricky’s brows rose when he heard this. After all, Michael’s disappearance had caused a great stir, meaning Renee’s message was not a simple matter. Ricky could see how serious she was as he sighed and said reluctantly
