In such a crucial period, even a small mistake could lead to someone being removed from their position, let alone serious matters like abuse of power. That aside, there had been incidents of Sable Emblem and the Unicorn Society attacking Scarlet Star that caused chaos within the city. Therefore, Harriett's position as a garrison instructor was on the line.This was the most concerning issue for all officials in Sandstone after learning that Harriett was undergoing questioning by the higher-ups. At this moment, he was in Carsen's residence. Besides Carsen, Carsen, there was another man watching him closely. "Harriett, explain to me about the recent events," Carsen said sternly. Harriett lowered his head. Originally, the situation could have been easily suppressed. However, no one expected the members of the Unicorn Society to act and eliminate all of Clark’s subordinates. The higher-ups had already given Harriett orders to lead the garrison army to suppress the underground forces w

Harriett was still in panic after he left Carsen's mansion. Truth be told, he did not really care about his position as garrison instructor. As a Grandmaster, albeit not of the highest caliber, he could still thrive without that title. He even pondered whether he should take Estelle and leave this dangerous place. However, Sandstone was under lockdown, making entry and exit extremely difficult. Moreover, it seemed that Sid had high regard for him, and Sid would probably be very disappointed if he left now.Thus, Harriett had no choice but to stay and continue serving as the garrison instructor. Although his mistake led to conflicts among the underground forces in Sandstone, Sid ultimately gave him another chance and he managed to retain his position in the end. However, Harriett sighed bitterly. After all, being favored by such a big shot was not necessarily a good thing. If it were not for Sid, things would be much easier for him right now. "Mr. Sid, why keep him when his mistake c

On the way back, Harriett called his daughter. Hearing her voice filled his heart with joy. Despite the dire situation, he was determined to persevere for her sake, no matter how dangerous the path ahead or how difficult life became."How are you Estelle?" he asked."Father, I have some good news." Estelle's voice brimmed with joy."What is it?" Harriett felt somewhat puzzled; his daughter rarely showed such excitement. This seemed different from what he had taught her."I want to introduce a friend to you." Estelle's tone was shy.Harriett paused, considering the possibility. He clenched his fist. Had his daughter found a lover?Suppressing his anger, he asked in a subdued tone, "Is it a boy?"Estelle grew even shyer, but since she had already decided to tell her father about Adrian, there was no need to hide it now."Yes, he's a boy, and is a very good friend of mine," Estelle said softly."No. You're not old enough for that yet." Harriett was livid as what Estelle said was

About half an hour later, Harriett arrived at the Nebula Inn from the direction of the mayor's manor."Why this place?" Harriett felt a headache coming on.Yesterday, a betrothal ceremony between the members of the Unicorn Society and his superior, Terry, took place here. However, something unexpected occurred during the ceremony, complicating matters.Harriett always sensed things were different from what he imagined, perhaps due to his years of experience as a military instructor, which honed his intuition. He hesitated, realizing he should have given it more thought before sharing his problems with Sid earlier.There seemed to be something amiss in the city, and Harriett was on edge, but he couldn't help worrying about his daughter being alone with a stranger. So, he set aside his thoughts and quickly entered the inn.Yesterday's events hadn't spread widely. Although the party attendees were aware, they had all tacitly remained silent. It was one thing to witness Terry and Blak

"One hundred percent Silverboan..." As Harriett grasped the implications of Adrian's words, he felt like he had something lodged in his throat. Though he had had his suspicions and knew they were likely true, he clung to a glimmer of hope. How could someone like Adrian become friends with his daughter?"How did you two meet?" Harriett asked in a deep voice.Regardless of whether the young man before him was the legendary great fiend or not, he knew he had to inform Sid about this, even if it was another misunderstanding. It turned out that what Sid said before about the problem was not groundless speculation. The old man had indeed noticed something was wrong. Harriett had just been too foolish to realize it.Just then, the door of the room opened, and a waiter walked in, starting to serve the food."Mr. Harriett, the food is served. Shouldn't we put an end to this?" Adrian asked.Harriett broke out in a cold sweat. From what Adrian said, Adrian seemed to have read his mind."Fat

Harriett tacitly understood the situation. As he breathed a sigh of relief, he also sensed that the upcoming situation would be very troublesome."Please wait outside, Estelle. I need to discuss official matters with Mr. Adrian," Harriett instructed.Estelle was momentarily stunned and felt suddenly hurt. After all, she had brought Adrian here—didn't she have the right to listen in?"Leave, now," Harriett said firmly, displaying a rare seriousness towards his daughter, which startled Estelle. Following his command, she stood up and exited the private room.Once his daughter had departed, Harriett turned his gaze back to Adrian, staring intently at him. In a deep and low voice, he inquired, "Are you the one who captured Leafall?""That's correct," Adrian confirmed, lifting his teacup for a sip before setting it down.Harriett's complexion suddenly paled, and he asked solemnly, "Did you approach my daughter intentionally...?""It wasn't deliberate. Our meeting seemed fated," Adria

"I hinted for you to let Estelle leave. Don't you understand what I mean? I truly consider her a friend and have no intention of harming her. Therefore, once you assist me in achieving my objective, I will ensure that both you and Estelle can lead prosperous lives and even depart from this troubled place," Adrian remarked casually.He was already being lenient with Estelle. While Adrian saw her as a friend, he recognized the urgency and significance of his mission. Towards Estelle, Adrian's motives leaned more towards utility. Before accomplishing his goal, Adrian wouldn't permit Estelle and Harriett to depart. However, after seizing Sandstone, he was prepared to offer them some assistance.Harriett forced a bitter smile and spoke calmly, "How can I assist you?""In the next three days, Sable Emblem and the Unicorn Society will initiate attacks on other gangs within Leafall, leading to a final showdown between the two. During this period, your garrison should refrain from intervenin
Chapter 3131
After subduing Harriett, Adrian's influence within Sandstone City peaked. With control stretching from the southern Sable Emblem to the eastern Unicorn Society, alongside the forces of the governor's mansion and the garrison, nearly half of Sandstone fell under his sway. However, among these factions, only Sable Emblem and Unicorn Society possessed the capability to assault the city's barrier. Harriett and Terry primarily played supporting roles. Harriett had to tolerate the expansion of these two groups within Sandstone and minimize his intervention while managing the other factions. This task proved exceedingly challenging. Thus, Adrian instructed Terry to collaborate with him and ensure that Harriett retained his position as garrison instructor.Another day passed, and tensions within Sandstone intensified. Harriett found himself summoned by Sid and Carson. Initially, conflict erupted between Sable Emblem and the Unicorn Society, albeit with Adrian's tacit approval. However, it w
