Daniel’s appearance caused a commotion to break out in the main hall.Everyone pointed at the Xanders and discussed among themselves.None of the Xanders could have ever thought the Battle Warrior Department would show up over something so meager. Every single one of them quietly left the place without making a scene, none of them daring to utter a single word in the process.Very soon, they were all out of the main hall, and Samantha was finally able to heave a long sigh of relief as though a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.Adrian then walked over and grabbed her hand. “Are you all right, Sam?”Samantha shook her head. ‘Thank goodness he arrived just in time. Otherwise, Mandy would’ve ended up taking that slap for me.’“I’m all right now. What are you doing here? Didn’t you say you have something to do?” Samantha asked.‘I came as soon as I was done.”Then, Adrian turned to Mandy and said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done today, Mandy.”Mandy shot a smile

The couple chatted throughout the entire journey home.This was the first time they were able to chat so freely after not seeing each other over the past seven years, although Samantha was the one who did most of the talking.As she drove, she told Adrian all kinds of stuff that had happened. Slowly, but surely, the barriers that were between them slowly tore apart until they were completely gone.As an understanding woman, Samantha was no longer as cold toward her husband as she was before.Samantha said a lot of stuff during their journey. From the rough times she had been through at Xander Manor, to how she originally loved playing the piano, going to the gym, and going for runs.After that, she told him what she wanted to do in the future. It was at this moment Adrian found out what Samantha had thought to herself this whole time.If possible, she wanted to give Adrian two children—a son and a daughter. Then, she would hand over New Paraiso to their son to take over.Samanth

The husband and wife chatted for a long while on the drive.They got home at midnight, and Rue was already asleep.Samantha grabbed her nightgown and headed for the shower.***Meanwhile, Cedric, who had his ribs broken, was lying in one of the wards of Southrive Hospital. His breathing sounded extremely weak due to his recent surgery.The rest of the Xanders were standing around in the room with furious expressions on their faces, especially Leonard. He was filled with boundless anger.Leonard paced back and forth in the room and roared, “Adrian is a f*cking b*stard! I’m going to kill him! I will kill him! I will not let him get away! Never!”Leonard was extremely shocked and furious that his son had been severely injured. He wished he could commission a few people to kill Adrian right there and then.“Calm down and cool your head, Leonard,” Wilfred said upon seeing Leonard’s angered state.“My son was beaten to this extent and even has a few broken ribs. He’ll need a year or

The next day, Leonard and Wilfred met up with Jaden.They wanted to get him to mobilize the Rivers’ resources to deal with Adrian and Samantha.Jaden pondered for a bit upon finding out Leonard and Wilfred’s intentions.He asked, “Mr. Leonard, are you incapable of dealing with someone as lowly as Samantha?”Leonard and Wilfred sighed upon hearing that.“Mr. Jaden, it’s not that we’re incapable of dealing with her but our family is affiliated with Adrian to a certain extent. I’m afraid that the others will gossip about us if we were to deal with her,” said Leonard in frustration.Jaden chuckled. “I understand, Mr. Leonard. So you’re trying to get someone else to take out Samantha, right?“The thing is, I can’t find it within myself to kill her because she’s so beautiful.”Leonard said, “Mr. Jaden, Samantha is by no means a great beauty. Swallowston may not have much but there are plenty of beautiful girls here. One less Samantha will be nothing.“Mr. Jaden, you’re investing in

Upon receiving the call, Adrian bolted up from the bed.He hastily put on his shoes and went to the bathroom to wash up.Adrian asked, “How many people are inside the hotel at the moment?”Daniel answered, “There are more than two hundred people currently. I’ve already instructed my subordinates to put together a name list of all the people there. The Luposians have yet to make a move for now.“However, I believe that it’ll take less than ten minutes for them to seize control of the hotel after the hotel’s management is fully subdued.“Their goal is to force Lucas to appear using the hostages and have him killed.”The Luposians and Lucas were bound by a blood feud.Lucas had annihilated more than a hundred thousand Luposian soldiers on the battlefield in the past.On the other hand, what Adrian was more concerned over was how the Luposians managed to overcome all sorts of obstacles and enter Swallowston fully armed.He asked, “Are the Luposians led by Beowulf Jabbar?”“Yes, s
