The men fled as far as they could since their lives depended on it.Almost instantly, the alley became completely empty, aside from Nash’s body. Christina looked at Adrian in a daze, her mouth hung ajar. She trembled as she looked at him.“Y-You killed him,” she said in shock.Adrian was wiping the blood off his hands, completely unaffected by the kill he just made because of how used he was to such things. Then, he smiled at Christina and said, “This is nothing to feel alarmed about, Ms. Christina. He deserved to die anyway, so it was only a matter of time before someone got to him.”Adrian picked up the case filled with money and handed it over to Christina before getting back into the car.Shirley, who seemed even more infatuated with Adrian now, said, “That was awesome, sir!” Adrian merely smiled at her, while Mya had already made a call to ask someone to take care of the corpse. Shortly after, Christina got back into the car, still shaken from everything that just happened.

It was only then did Christina and Shirley understand the severity of the situation.In truth, this was definitely not good news for Wyvern Peak.Christina fell silent, while Shirley seemed helpless. As anxious as she was, there was nothing she could do to help.Once again, Adrian looked at Christina and asked a few more questions, all of which he received no answers to. In the end, he was not able to find anything to aid his cause.Not wanting to waste any more time, Adrian stood up and said, “I’ve told you most of the situation, Ms. Christina. Please feel free to call me if you think of something. I’ll leave you in peace now.”Christina quickly got up and seemed embarrassed as she said, “I’m truly sorry I couldn’t be of much help to you, Adrian. I genuinely have no idea what Kayn’s been doing after our divorce.”She clearly felt bad for not being of much help, but Adrian merely smiled in response.He and Mya left the hotel after that.***It was already evening by the time A

Adrian and Samantha talked for a while longer before they slept.The next morning, Adrian received a call from Mya as soon as dawn broke. According to a dependable source, Southrive’s Fowler House had indeed auctioned off a book about ten years ago.After ending the call, he quickly got ready and made his way to the downhill part of Jewel Road. After waiting at the bottom of the hill for a bit, Mya arrived in a car.Adrian got into the car without any hesitation. Mya stepped on the pedal and they headed off to Southrive.***Along the way, Mya updated Adrian on the information she discovered from last night’s investigation.Mya said, “I reached out to Donald of Southrive’s Kushner Group last night. He’s the richest man in Southrive and has visited Fowler House on multiple occasions. Donald vividly remembers that a book was auctioned off at Fowler House ten years ago. He can’t remember who purchased the book but he knew that the person did not look like he was from Navia.”“It wa

The sound of the gunshot was heard all across Fowler House.The administrative personnel of Fowler House was instantly alerted.“Where did that gunshot come from?”“Send someone to check it out at once.”Fowler House was thrown into chaos by the gunshot.Soon after, the security personnel of Fowler House charged onto the scene from all over the resort. These people carried guns and ballistic shields as they approached the entrance.“Um…”“This is umm…”Donald backed away two steps in shock upon seeing the numerous people gathering around them. He had heard about Fowler House’s strict security. The guards here were all seasoned professionals who were employed from battlefields in the outlands.In comparison, the people surrounding them were hired from a few countries in the outlands. One could say that the security personnel of Fowler House was considered the highest quality guards in Southrive.“Mr. Xander, they have the strength in numbers. We should leave!” Donald hastily s

“Wh-What?”‘Get rid of me?’Romain’s eyes filled with boundless fear and he felt like he was trapped in a nightmare.“Gah!” Romain roared, “No…don’t!”Splat!A splat was heard when Romain’s chest was pierced with a sharp blade.Mya pulled out the sharp blade and said nonchalantly, “Get rid of him.”“Yes, ma’am.”Two people came forward and dragged Romain into the car. He was taken away.Everything happened and ended quickly.Donald witnessed the scene before him and came to truly understand War Legate Draco’s mercilessness. ‘Are all the members of Wyvern Peak so cruel?’“Let’s go inside. Take me to Nadine Gardner.”Before Donald could recover from his shock, he heard Adrian’s voice commanding him. He inhaled a deep breath and made an invitatory gesture at Adrian. “Please follow me, Legate.”The entrance of Fowler House was now unobstructed, and Adrian and Mya followed Donald in.***Meanwhile, in a woman’s boudoir located in a villa of Fowler House.A woman about thirty
