Shaquille looked proud. He said happily while holding the Green Plum Grass, “I win.”“You’re shameless!” Rozi dared not move as there was a dagger right at her back. “You won’t win even if you kill me.”Adrian’s face sank. He glanced at Lionel who was lying next to the carriage and felt horrible. He should not have been reckless since he knew that Shaquille was not an easy man.“I feel embarrassed for you,” Adrian growled.“I’ll kill her!” Shaquille said ferociously, “Since you wish to destroy me, I will not show mercy!”Adrian felt his breath hitch. He could not lose Rozi, but if he looked desperate now, Shaquille would have leverage on him.He said coldly, “And I’ll thank you for that. There are many women all over Debonaire anyway. This is the perfect opportunity for me to get a new woman.”Shaquille squinted. Adrian was simply heartless. One would truly show their true colors in desperate times.However, Shaquille refused to accept the fact that he would lose. “Hear that, M
Chapter 2190
Adrian was shocked by Shaquille’s real face. There were tiny bumps all over and it was distorted. He was terrifying to look at.“What happened to him?” Adrian asked.“He’s sick.” Lionel sighed. “It’s a type of toxin. He became like this after years of negligence.”Marissa, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled. “I’ve finally gotten my revenge. This man tortured me so badly that I have yet to recover from the ordeal.”Jim squeezed through the crowd and approached Adrian. “Please come to my house, Mr. Adrian. This b*stard was such a pest, and we never dared to fight back against him.”“What about Mr. Leeroy?” Adrian asked, “Couldn't you have complained to him?”“Mr. Leeroy is ill, so he doesn’t have the time to deal with such insignificant matters,” Jim said pitifully, “My daughter refuses to leave if you don’t come to our house. She wants to thank you for saving her life.”Adrian looked at Rozi. They could not return to Medicis Manor yet as she was still recovering. On top of t

Adrian was well aware of the situation. With the Green Plum Grass taken away and Andre’s decline in status, Leeroy clearly did not trust him."I was just speculating,” Adrian said."You scared me." Andre let out a sigh of relief. If Adrian could read minds, that would be terrifying. He would not dare to interact with such a person. "I have no home now."Was the situation that serious? Adrian could not believe it. Leeroy was a wise person. Even if he did not favor Andre, he should not be so heartless."Why?" Adrian questioned."Mr. Leeroy has taken a liking to Matteo," Andre said gloomily, "He claims that I’m not as skilled as Matteo. I was dissatisfied at first, but now I understand. To cure an illness, you have to also soothe the patient's heart.""Hehe!" Lionel looked triumphant. "Don't worry about it. Why not take in more apprentices and pass on your skills?"Speaking of apprentices, Andre's eyes lit up. He had an apprentice with extraordinary talent, but they had wanted to l

"It’s not poisonous?" Andre asked."Rozi already drunk a mixture boiled from the plant." Adrian turned to look at Rozi and was simply overjoyed. "Wow, your appearance has already been restored!"Andre was bewildered. He looked to Lionel, who simply shrugged. He too was a little confused, but the books had said that the Green Plum Grass was a treasure."I don't know,” Lionel said."I think I understand." Adrian thought back to the earlier events. "This is probably a conspiracy Shaquille concocted. He wanted to poison Mr. Leeroy through your hands."Andre suddenly realized the truth. No wonder Leeroy was so ruthless. Not only did Leeroy not let him return home, but he even kicked him out of Debonaire City."Who's the spy?" Andre asked."Nico,” Adrian answered, "He’s a very clever old man who’s playing both sides to make more money."Andre regretted deeply. Nico had followed him for many years, and he thought of Nico as family. He never expected this to be Nico’s handiwork."I wa

The guard could not object. After all, Adrian had done him a great favor. He had just been promoted today because of Adrian's excellent command."Make it quick,” the guard whispered back."I will,” Adrian promised. Jim then regained his wits. The pair entered Debonaire City, boarded a carriage, and headed straight for Andre's house. As they approached their destination, Adrian noticed billowing smoke ahead. He was surprised. Leeroy's methods were simply ruthless. He had burned down Andre's house, clearly not wanting him to return. The carriage was forced to a stop as there were many onlookers ahead. It could not get past the crowd. When Adrian peeked out and saw the huge fire, he knew that the Green Plum Grass was gone. Fortunately, they had one. They could rely on it to slowly reproduce.Adrian then ordered the carriage to turn around. There was no need to stay here and watch. Jim grumbled, "Dr. Andre is really kind. Every time I went to him for help, he’d give me some pill
Chapter 2194
‘He refused?’ Matteo was a little dumbfounded. After Shaquille's death, many people wanted to cooperate with him. He looked down on everyone though and thought that they were not qualified.“I advise you to think this over carefully,” Matteo said.After a moment, Adrian said, "Okay, done. It’s still a no.” He looked at Matteo in disdain. Shaquille had been a hated foe, but at least he was only acting for personal gain. Matteo was different. He pursued power and status, and his methods were simply ruthless. If such a person continued to exist, it would spell trouble.Matteo narrowed his eyes. Adrian's straightforward rejection made him feel upset. "Since you can’t appreciate a good thing when offered, don't blame me for being rude.”"Do you plan to fight me?" Adrian was prepared. Unable to find a weapon at the moment, he grabbed the coachman’s whip. "Feel free to attack me."Matteo stepped aside, and two people brandishing swords jumped down from his carriage. Seeing that Adria

Adrian silently waved.The guard dared not continue to watch the scene. He simply smiled at Adrian and went away.When Matteo saw Adrian, he became terrified. "Stay away from me!""If my guess is correct…" Adrian grabbed him by the collar as he smiled coldly. "You’re the true mastermind behind the Wolf Fangs."“That’s utter nonsense!" Matteo was terrified, but he refused to admit it. "Shaquille’s the mastermind! I'm just a doctor!"Adrian shook his head. Although Shaquille was clever, he was just someone else's pawn. The Moon Tribe always looked down on him, and he was only worthy of being a lapdog."It's useless for you to shift the blame." Adrian pressed the tip of his sword against Matteo’s chest. The sword was his spoils of the fight with the two idiots earlier. "Don’t worry, I won't kill you."Matteo was overjoyed. As long as Adrian did not kill him, he could escape back into Debonaire City. Then, everything would be under his control, and he would make Adrian pay. He had t

The guard was stunned. Matteo was someone Leeroy trusted. If Leeroy saw Matteo in his state, he might get into trouble."What has he done?" the guard asked."Take a look." Adrian pointed at Matteo's chest. "He's the leader of the Wolf Fangs, and he wants to replace Mr. Leeroy. I believe Mr. Leeroy won't let him off easily."The guard was filled with excitement. What Adrian said must be true. Regardless of its authenticity, he needed to bring Matteo before Leeroy. Even if it cost him his job, it was a small price to pay."I'll go immediately," the guard said.Adrian left the city, heading to catch up with Andre and the others. When he reached Peach Blossom Forest, he saw a whole fleet of carriages.Adrian’s eyes nearly popped out. "What’s going on here, Dr. Andre?" he asked."This isn’t my fault." Andre waved frantically. "They insisted on following us. I tried my best to talk them out, but they wouldn’t listen!" He pointed to the people sticking their heads out of the carriages,
