Herald knew he could not afford to miss a key opportunity for the prosperity of their family, even though he cherished his daughter."No! I don't agree! Have you even asked for my opinion?" Sherri shouted. She had not expected her birthday party to turn into this."Sherri, I understand you're still young, so I won't force you. But you and my son have known each other for over a decade now. You both should be very familiar with each other. You can trust him!" Ivan said firmly, "So, let's set the date for three years from now. Let's proceed with the engagement tonight!" Sherri blushed with anger.Just when she was about to speak, Llyod beat her to it. "Sherri, rest assured. I'll definitely treat you well.""Sherri, why don't you just be with Llyod? It's good for both your families and for you!" Hilary chimed in, looking amused.She knew Sherri was a rebellious girl at school, and that her rebellion was fueled by her desire to break free from her family's control. They wanted her t

"Then do you know who I am?" Adrian asked back, and Ivan's expression turned dark. Truth be told, he did not want to antagonize a Grandmaster. However, the Pintzers were important to him. Without them, it would be hard to secure his position in this chaotic era. Therefore, he had to ensure Llyod married Sherri.As a consequence, Adrian naturally became their enemy. It was a choice he had to make. What he did not anticipate was that Adrian seemed unaware of the consequences of provoking him.Ivan glared at Adrian. "You'll know the consequences of crossing me!"He would not dare to confront Adrian directly because he was a Grandmaster. The people around him were no match for Adrian. However, he could get even more formidable individuals to deal with Adrian. Since Rufus had become the mayor of Leafall, Ivan naturally had to maintain a good relationship with him. The two had been almost inseparable during this time. Being an outsider, Rufus hoped to solidify his position as the mayo

After sitting down next to Adrian, Sherri lowered her head and began to contemplate the events unfolding before her. She felt that tonight's events were far beyond her expectations.However, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, but neither Ivan nor Lloyd were the cause.Whether it was Lloyd, Ivan, or even her father, she had anticipated their actions. She had long sensed Lloyd's feelings for her, and the recent developments with his family seemed like pieces fitting into a puzzle. What unsettled her was Adrian.On the one hand, it was Adrian's sudden change in attitude toward her.Thinking about this, Sherri turned her head and glanced at Hilary. She frowned as she noticed a hint of schadenfreude on Hilary's face. However, she shook her head as she felt these were all trivial matters. Yet she could not shake the feeling that she had missed some important piece of information.On the other hand, it was Adrian's background. He was from Silverboa, and he arrived i

Ivan and Lloyd turned their heads to look at Adrian coldly as if saying to him that he was doomed."Greetings, Mr. Rufus!" As the host of the banquet, Herald greeted Rufus with Ivan. Rufus was not clad in armor today. Instead, he wore the traditional warrior attire of Obscura City. His aide, Ilyas, was walking next to him.Upon seeing Ivan, Rufus smiled. He had a good impression of Ivan. On the first day of his tenure, Ivan had sent him over a dozen crates of gold, silver, and jewels. Therefore, when he received the notification from Ivan, he promptly came.In addition to aiding Ivan, Rufus sought to assert his authority. His tenure as mayor was brief, and with Quintin's prolonged presence, he lacked the chance to assert himself. He aimed to demonstrate his leadership once Quintin departed.When a conflict emerged with his governor, Rufus perceived it as an ideal moment to establish dominance over the troublemaker."Hail the mayor!""Long live, Mr. Rufus!" Rufus smiled in sat

None of the people in the hall had noticed the expression changes on Ilya and Rufus's faces. "That young man is done for!" "Of course, Mr. Rufus is here already. Besides, that fellow is from Silverboa. Who gives him the right to act arrogantly here?" "Shh! Don't say such things in the future!"Adrian smiled as he quietly listened to the discussions around him. It seemed these people still did not grasp the severity of the situation yet. They did not grasp the true nature of war.When Silverboa assembled a massive force to seize control of Obscura's territory, it was not just about maintaining their citizenship in Obscura anymore."How could you offend him?!" Rufus roared and slapped Ivan's face.Ivan was sent flying like a ragdoll, crashing into several tables before landing on the ground.Ilya stood by and watched coldly.The rest of the people were shocked. They did not expect Rufus to slap Ivan's face.Meanwhile, Ivan remained on the ground and could not get up no matte

Many attended the party to entertain themselves, but now they realized that they were going to get implicated as well. No one was innocent during a war."Mr. Adrian, in my view, tonight's incident is just a misunderstanding," Ilyas said as Rufus had become too nervous to speak. "Really? And how is it a misunderstanding?" Adrian asked calmly. Ilyas was stumped because he had no idea what had happened tonight. When he saw Sherri by Adrian's side, as well as Lloyd on the other side, he instantly understood everything."Lloyd! Come here and explain to Mr. Adrian what exactly happened!" Ilyas suddenly turned around and pointed to Lloyd, who stood there silently.Lloyd did not hesitate and nervously walked over. He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Adrian, it was all a misunderstanding. My feelings for Sherri have completely dissipated now. You two can be together without any interference from me in the future!"Sherri glanced at Lloyd disdainfully, her certainty about him solidifying

"But because tonight is Sherri's birthday, and to prevent any undesirable incidents on such a joyous occasion, I have decided to let you all off the hook for now," Adrian said. Sherri lifted her head and gazed at Adrian.As for the others, while they breathed a sigh of relief, they carefully pondered the meaning behind Adrian's earlier words and eventually came to a realization.When Silverboa captured Leafall, control of the city slipped from their grasp. Here, Leafall's inhabitants were not the foremost figures, not even Rufus or Ilyas held sway. The true masters were the Silverboans, a truth Adrian aimed to impress upon them.Silence descended as the realization dawned. Quintin's leniency had shielded them from this truth. It was only when they faced Adrian that they understood not every Silverboan would treat them kindly.In defeat, their feelings held no weight. It became evident that despite Quintin's benevolence, he wouldn't side with them in conflicts.At this point, the

However, it was nothing but a scratch for Adrian. "Is one punch enough? The entire Obscura, including Leafall, have deep enmity with me," Adrian said.Sherri's tears flowed down. She still liked Adrian, and this contradiction left her deeply conflicted. Unfortunately, she could not change the fact that she was a resident of Obscura.This punch was just a means of venting, and Adrian's words shattered her last bit of fantasy. They indeed had deep enmity with Adrian. This was something no one could change, not even Adrian himself."Why? Aren't you the heartless great devil of Silverboa who kills without blinking? Why didn't you kill me?" Sherri snarled.Adrian chuckled. "Why would I kill you? While there are instances when I resorted to killing, I'm not indiscriminate in my actions. In this world, some people deserve to die, and some have to be killed. But you, my friend, aren't one of them. So I'm not going to kill you."Anyway, I'm leaving. Live well in the future. With my influ
