Samantha and Rue were shocked upon hearing the gunshots.“Where did that come from?” Samantha reflexively turned toward the source of the sound.Rue panicked and said, “Now’s not the time, Sam. We need to get out of here.”Samantha quickly started up the car and was just about to drive off when Adrian suddenly grabbed the steering wheel.“Don’t move!”Samantha turned her head in confusion and asked, “Why not?”Adrian opened the door and got out. “Wait here. There’s surely something happening if there are gunshots this late at night. I’m going over there to check it out.”“Why are you going there? Are you crazy?!”“Get back here this instant, Adrian!”Rue and Samantha shouted but Adrian was so focused on the gunshots that he ignored them.He dashed off and disappeared into the distance. It was not until he was really far away that they noticed that he was already gone and had disappeared from their sight before they could say anything more.The women had no choice but to sit

Barry scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this.Indeed, he had been too naive, but he was amazed at how calmly Adrian was able to analyze the situation.After getting Barry to the hospital, Adrian told Samantha and Rue to head home while he waited there. After the women had left, Adrian dialed Daniel’s number, asking him to bring a few men to where he was.Daniel and his men arrived at the hospital in under ten minutes.Adrian explained the situation to Daniel and the others at the hospital’s stairwell. “Find an inmate on death row and execute him. After that, put Barry’s clothes on the body and leave it on the alley’s roof.“Someone should find it soon enough and report it to the department. Make sure that Jaden is aware and thinks that the man from last night is dead.”Adrian did this because he wanted Jaden and the Luposians to lower their guard.Daniel nodded upon receiving his instructions and said, “Understood, sir.”“Arrange for a few men to pay a visit to

Samantha slept fitfully.It was most probably due to Adrian’s company.Samantha discovered that she was lying in Adrian’s arms when she woke up the next morning and her head was on Adrian’s arm.Her face blushed ever so slightly and she hastily sat up. She was afraid that Adrian would wake up and tease her.Samantha took a shower and put on a business suit. She went to wake Adrian after she was done.“Wake up.” She shook him gently.Adrian woke up and rubbed his eyes. His eyes lit up when he saw Samantha standing in front of him.The sight of her was breathtaking to him. She had a button nose and cherry-red lips and exuded a mature presence. Anyone who laid eyes upon her would not be able to help but stare at her because of her beautiful face which looked great from all angles.Adrian was no exception, of course.“Are you a fairy?” Adrian asked in a surprised tone.“What nonsense. Get up, quick. Mother has prepared breakfast.” Samantha glared at him.Adrian was becoming more

Samantha was taken aback upon hearing Danton’s request.She said, “I’m unaware that my father-in-law left behind any information when he was still alive. I have no clue about this.”Samantha shook her head. She knew that Henry had been in the pharmaceutical business in the past, yet she had no idea that he had made any sort of breakthrough.“Samantha, you were still young at that time so it’s understandable that you don’t know about it,” said Danton.Then, he added, “Adrian and you were probably eleven or twelve when Henry was involved in this. His research lasted for seven years so he must have discovered something important.“Even though we have yet to develop a special medicine that can cure cancer at this point, I believe that Henry can help us avoid taking detours and shorten the timeline by a few years.“We need that data.”Samantha was very surprised and said, “Mr. Danton, I do not have the slightest clue about this matter. However, even if Henry did leave behind that kin

Rue never expected that this matter from all those years to be brought up again someday.The majority of the participants from that time had already vanished without a trace.Rue kept the matter to herself and she was not prepared to tell anyone about it. Yet, she had not expected Danton would pay a visit to Samantha and ignite her curiosity like a fuse lighter.“Tell us, Mother!” Adrian could not refrain from saying again after seeing Rue’s miserable state.Rue wiped away her tears and said, “Your father told me to keep this matter to myself before he passed away. Adaline and you are absolutely not allowed to investigate this matter.“Adrian, there’s an influential person involved in this matter that we can’t afford to offend or contend with. Even if I were to tell you, you won’t be able to find him.”Adrian said, “I will mobilize the ten battle warriors and turn over all of Navia if I have to. Those who I seek won’t be able to run away for long. Just tell me!”Rue wiped her te
