Buck was killed at the scene of what was supposed to be a joyous wedding.Everyone in the hall was astounded and dumbstruck after witnessing what happened.Joel, Megan, and Wiley looked at Adrian in astonishment. They felt extremely puzzled, shocked, and emotional in their hearts.They were emotional because this man deserved to die. However, the Snows were terrified at the sight of Buck’s corpse.“H-He killed him.”“Yeah, he’s a cold-blooded killer. Who is he? He killed Buck out of nowhere.”“He’s a cruel man who does exactly what he says.”A number of people were discussing softly.The ballroom was filled with a series of noises. Countless people were discussing softly while Joel hurriedly made his way to Adrian. He bowed to Adrian before he asked, “Y-Young man, why did you kill Buck? Internal Affairs will surely punish you for it. Your actions might also implicate my family.”Joel sounded nervous. Adrian meticulously looked him up and down. Joel was only a little over sixty

“What did you say?!” Maverick shouted as he shot up from his seat.He was so shocked that he almost dropped his mouse.The snivelly man breathed heavily and answered, “Your nephew, Buck, was killed at Yelloton Hotel. I just received the news, and it’s a hundred percent true.”Maverick was stunned. Soon afterward, he flew into a great rage. He yelled, “Which son of a b*tch has the audacity to kill my nephew?! Was it Joel’s family? I heard that they’ve been engaging in heated quarrels with Buck recently because of the land.”“It wasn’t Joel’s family. Buck was killed by a young man and a young woman at the scene.”“I don’t care if it was Joels’ f*cking family or not. All I know is that this matter is closely related to the Snows. Capture every member of the Snow family this instant. Bring them over and place them in the death prison. I want them to suffer and wish they were dead!” roared Maverick.After he was done roaring, he pulled out a gun from the drawer and stormed out of Inte

Noticing the beer Mya brought over, Adrian said, “We still have official duties to attend to. Let’s not drink, okay?”Mya answered, “It’s rare for you to go on business trips so don’t you want to enjoy the ambiance here? I bet you haven’t had a good meal out in years after becoming the legate, right?”“Not really. I had tacos with Samantha and Joanna not too long ago,” Adrian answered.Mya sniggered, flipped her hair, and said, “That’s because you don’t have a woman whose name ends with a ‘ria’ around you. Did I remind you of Gloria somehow?”Adrian was stunned and looked at Mya with widened eyes.Mya chuckled and said, “Why are you staring at me? Was I wrong?”Adrian did not comment and poured himself a glass of beer.Then, Mya said, “I remember that Gloria got you drunk many years ago and slept with you when you were intoxicated. Then, she left for eternity the next day. Do you believe me if I tell you that I’ll get you drunk like Gloria?”Adrian said, “Gloria is a much bette

With those words, Adrian caressed Mya’s long hair as he smiled.Mya cracked a bitter smile at Adrian and stopped speaking.Both of them ate their fill at the barbecue joint. Soon after, they checked into a motel and planned to return to Southrive with the Snows early the next morning.***It was late at night and Yelloton was enshrouded in darkness. Megan was hastily packing her suitcases at home. She was both emotional and jubilant as she imagined reuniting with her daughter who had been missing for years tomorrow.Joel was sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette. He looked calm and composed. “Who were those two today? Do they really know where Eira is?”He was doubtful about Adrian and Mya’s identities and wondered if this was just some sort of ploy.Megan said as she continued to pack, “We have to confirm in person if it’s true or not. Now that we have information on Eira, how could we possibly not go?”Joel nodded.Wiley then walked into the room with his wife and said, “Fa

All the women glared at Adrian with their big, bright eyes as if they despised him.Adrian walked into the room and made a “calm down” hand gesture as he said, “Ladies, please take a seat and listen to what I have to say.”Upon hearing this, all the women spread out and sat everywhere including the bed, table, and wardrobe. They filled up the space and stared at him, their long legs swinging in the air.Ivy said, “You by the name of Draco, free us or kill us. What’s the point of imprisoning us here? Are we supposed to be your pets?”“Firstly, I’d like to emphasize that my name is not Draco. My name is Adrian. Adrian Xander,” he said as he looked toward Ivy.The women gasped in surprise.Adrian smiled and said, “I empathize with what happened to you, ladies. Hence, I’d like to befriend you, but you haven’t given me the chance to do so. Let’s discuss that today, all right? I’d like to offer you my support, and in exchange, you’ll work for me. What do you think?”“F*ck!” the women
