“You attended that university, didn’t you? Has it been helpful to you so far?”Adrian had made that statement very casually, but it was enough to cause Samantha’s expression to darken.She instantly grabbed Adrian’s ear and shot a glare at him as she said, “Are you trying to insinuate that I’m a useless person? Is there a problem with me being a graduate of Southrive University? At least I managed to start my own company.”Adrian, whose mouth twitched from the pain of having his ear pulled, said, “That’s not what I meant. I’m just trying to say that going to university isn’t the only way in life. Juno’s a talented girl, so don’t you think it’d be a huge shame for her to live her life as an ordinary person?”“But your mother prefers that kind of life for her. You’ve got an extraordinary life, but have you actually been able to enjoy life so far? Sometimes, I’d rather you not be the legate, to be honest,” Samantha said.Although Samantha had her point, Adrian still thought Juno shou

Rue would do this every year without fail.She believed that it was Saint Elmer who had been protecting Adrian and their entire family all this time.When Adrian heard this, he looked up in confusion. “Is the event happening tomorrow? It’s been so many years since I’ve been to St. Elmer’s Church.”Back when Adrian was still a little boy, Rue would take him there with her every year. Time seemed to freeze whenever he thought about the church.Meanwhile, Samantha smiled and said, “Mother’s been taking me there every year while you were away, dear.”“Looks like she hasn’t changed her habits,” Adrian said with a smile.Rue was not a very capable woman per se, but she strongly believed that Saint Elmer could protect them, and it was the only consolation she had over her years of hardships.Juno then said, “I heard they’ve invited a group of choir singers from Azure Creek. I hear they’re really famous.”St. Elmer’s Church would hire a group of local choir singers every year, which wa

Soon, they got to the end of the line.Rue said, “Let’s head inside.”Samantha and the others nodded and were about to go into the church when Adrian suddenly said, “I’m going to pass on the prayer session, Mother. I’ll be outside.”“Why?” Rue asked in confusion.At that moment, Juno smiled and said, “There’s a rule at Wyvern Peak where its soldiers are forbidden to kneel before anyone except for their parents and benefactors.” It was then Rue understood why Adrian was skipping the session.“All right then. You go ahead and wait for us outside. Don’t go off without us, okay?”After Adrian acknowledged her instructions, Rue brought Samantha and the others in while Adrian waited outside. He was watching the stage when he suddenly heard the voices of children saying…“I want a doll.”“Me too.”“Me three!”Adrian instantly looked toward the source of the voices.At a spot not too far from the church, a group of children were surrounding a very old-looking man. The man had a bl

Without thinking too much into the matter, Adrian nodded and said, “Let’s go.”After that, the group headed to the stage and were planning on listening to the choir’s performance before they left.Although he did not seem like he cared much, Adrian knew that the prophecy was not an accident.‘I’m sure the knowledge of a seer isn’t without grounds.’At that moment, all Adrian could do was find the woman in the prophecy.***Adrian and the others arrived below the stage, where many people were sitting and enjoying the show. The choir’s presence at the event had attracted the attention of many, and the seats were almost fully filled.Countless people were sitting there, silently listening to the choir’s singing.The choir had finished half of their act by the time Adrian and the others arrived. Due to the songs being in a foreign language, Samantha and Joanna were unable to understand the meaning of the songs, but Rue seemed to be engrossed by them.After listening for a while, J

Immediately upon receiving their orders from Oswald, the men he brought charged onto the stage.Franzen was pretty badly shaken, while the other choir singers and the spectators were running for their lives. Oswald took a few steps back and his subordinates were just about to take action when a figure suddenly jumped onto the stage, followed by a few painful groans.Immediately after, Oswald’s men were sent flying off from the stage, landing on the ground with heavy thuds. Many gasped in shock at how suddenly all of that happened. Even Oswald took a few steps back.At that moment, the figure landed in front of Oswald, revealing it to be Adrian.“Holy sh*t! How fast can Adrian run?! When did he even get there?!” Joanna, still beneath the stage, was shocked at how Adrian, who was just next to her a moment ago, had disappeared and reappeared on stage in the blink of an eye.Many people were stunned, while Oswald took a look at Adrian before he coldly said, “Who are you? How dare you
