Renee stared at Adrian, realizing that he had already thought through what he was going to say. She hadn’t expected him to be so prepared. This was truly surprising.At this moment, Renee could only feel astonishment. Adrian was indeed more meticulous and careful than anyone else, ensuring that he could handle any unexpected situations better.Basil’s pupils glinted with a cold light, seemingly dissatisfied with Adrian’s words. With a cold expression, he said, "What identity do you plan to use when you go on this mission, Sir Adrian?"Adrian smiled. He hadn’t expected Basil to pose such a question about the roles of monarch and subject. He naturally didn’t want to be bound by any constraints, and Basil’s attempt to tie him down was futile.Adrian replied calmly, "Whatever identity you wish to give me, I will accept, Your Majesty. However, in terms of numbers, I will need some people to accompany me as I can’t guarantee my safety without them. I certainly don’t have the ability to s

As Adrian felt increasingly surprised, the air before him fell into stillness once more. The fluctuations that had occurred earlier were nowhere to be seen.Adrian’s gaze grew even more solemn. He couldn’t believe that something unknown was happening in his own territory. This certainly surprised him. It was hard to imagine what this hidden force was.Adrian extended his hand.Bang! Bang! Bang!The force struck the air, and violent energy exploded outward, causing the space to ripple once more. Yet, there was no response from the surroundings, leaving a chilling sense of fear.Adrian’s eyes narrowed. "What are you? Come out!" His tone was icy, unwilling to tolerate anything he couldn’t control in his territory. Anyone in his position would likely feel the same way.However, no matter how furious Adrian was, the air remained eerily still. It was as if everything had come to a standstill, leaving an atmosphere of both surprise and fear.Adrian remained calm, his gaze cold. He unde

"Don't worry, Mr. Adrian. My father will definitely grant you a title to better lead the fifty thousand soldiers," Renee told Adrian, as if offering him peace of mind.Hearing this, Adrian smiled calmly and replied, "It's fine. Titles aren't important. Just give me a chance, and I can bring Ciawales to new heights."His words stunned Renee. Her gaze shifted, now focused on Adrian with newfound intensity.If what he said was true, and with Adrian at the helm, perhaps Ciawales would indeed experience an extraordinary transformation.Renee clearly recognized that Adrian possessed a unique and transformative power."I believe in you!"Suddenly, Renee spoke with unwavering conviction, her eyes reflecting a trust that bordered on reverence. She looked at Adrian as though he were the only divine being she could depend on.Adrian smiled slightly in response. "Thank you. Let's go. Don't worry. The Second Prince will be fine."Renee froze for a moment.Adrian's confident tone made it se

Renee couldn't quite grasp the importance of Adrian's newly granted title. Did it signify her father's full recognition of him?A first-rank ministerial position was no small matter, but it wasn't overwhelming either.The ambiguity surrounding it left people puzzled. Yet, Adrian remained completely unfazed, showing no concern for the situation unfolding before him.For Adrian, after all, a title was all that mattered. His leadership style was far from conventional—whether the soldiers chose to follow his orders or not was their business.If they didn't, though, they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless."Mr. Adrian, what do you think? Are these elite troops sufficient? Michael's safety is now in your hands," King Basil asked, his eyes sharp but clouded, clearly gauging Adrian's response.The implication was clear: "I am entrusting fifty thousand elite soldiers to you. You must rescue my son. If you fail, don't expect mercy."Adrian met King Basil's gaze and responded with a fa

Adrian stunned everyone with a simple statement.They couldn't comprehend his meaning. Was he claiming to have extensive military experience?The crowd stared at him, unable to grasp the source of his confidence."Mr. Adrian, you are indeed impressive. However, when it comes to warfare, I won't back down. I've been in the military for twenty years, making me a seasoned veteran. In terms of strategy and tactics, I shouldn't be lacking," Tyler Dennis declared, his dissatisfaction clear.Adrian smiled upon hearing this. It was exactly as he had anticipated. He knew gaining the respect of these soldiers and generals wouldn't be easy.To establish his authority among them, he had to make a bold statement. Without it, maintaining control in the long run would be nearly impossible."Sir Tyler, is it? Since you're so confident, how about we have a military competition?" Adrian suggested, his gaze steady as he addressed the general.Tyler was taken aback, momentarily stunned. He hadn't e
