The group walked into the backyard. Upon seeing the bodies in the pit, Adrian furrowed his brow."I saw these three people last night. They must have the clues that we need!" Adrian said. He knew there had to be something in the backyard, but he had not expected to find only three corpses. Besides the lead about the casino in the south of the city he obtained from Kevin, there seemed to be no other leads.Adrian's expression soured a bit as he walked out of the backyard, while Dominique continued to keep his eyes on the three men."Did you kill them?" Adrian asked."They committed suicide. After they failed to kill you, they realized things were hopeless and killed themselves," Kevin replied. Adrian nodded. He knew that the Celestrians were known for their fearless spirit. "Apart from the casino where we can find the contact person for the restorationists, do you have any other information about them?" Adrian asked.Shaking his head, Kevin replied, "No, although we provide the
Adrian glanced at the server. From the man’s features, Adrian could tell that he was a Celestrian."You're a Celestrian?" Adrian asked.The server seemed accustomed to such questions and nodded with a smile. "Indeed, I am of Celestrian descent. Even this casino is owned by Celestrians.""Can you take me to your boss?" Adrian asked. He was not afraid of alarming anyone as they had already found the place and the person could not escape. "What are you here for? Why do you want to see our boss?" the server asked cautiously,"Hehe! I suspect you are related to the restorationists, so I want to see your boss," Adrian replied. "Why you…" The server was annoyed, and Adrian could tell from his attitude that this server was probably not the contact person."Kurt! There's someone causing trouble here. Escort them out!" The server's smile disappeared, replaced by a grim expression as he yelled toward the guards stationed at the door.The surrounding gamblers paid no mind to the commotio
Adrian had to admit that the woman before him was one of the prettiest women he had ever seen in his life. From her features to her figure, everything about her was impeccable. More importantly, he noticed some semblance of Celestrians in her facial features. She was probably of mixed Silverboan and Celestrian ancestry.As the woman stepped out of the room and saw Adrian and Lillian, she raised her hand slightly and gestured to the server not to panic. With a smile, she walked up to Adrian and Lillian and asked, "May I ask what brings you two here?""Where is the headquarters of the Celestrian Restorationists?" Adrian asked."Celestrian Restorationists?" The woman's brows furrowed slightly. "Are you kidding me, young man? We are running a legitimate business here, with a business license issued by the state government. There are no restorationists here.""The state government? The Remingtons and Gaius from the Stormwatch Legion have been arrested by the Frontier Force. No one is go
"Seriously? You must be delusional. Are you sure there are eight people here?" Wallace asked. Latitia was stunned for a moment. She turned to the waiter and asked in a stern voice, "Where's Garcia?""Wh-What? H-he was just here…" the server stammered.Latitia's face sank. "What is that old guy doing? He's not doing anything fishy behind my back, is he?" she mumbled.Meanwhile, Adrian observed the casino as they began searching for Garcia. Suddenly, he asked, "Is he wearing a red robe?""How did you know? Have you seen him?" Latitia asked."Well, not quite, but I know where he is now," Adrian said, then suddenly disappeared from where he stood.Latitia froze in place. She was skeptical when Adrian said he could summon the Frontier Force, but witnessing his demonstrated power now sparked doubt in her mind. "Is he one of those strong individuals from the Frontier Force?" she mumbled.Latitia knew that if Garcia was one of the restorationists, there was no way she could continue o
"Sorry, my patience is limited," Adrian said.Latitia sighed helplessly. Garcia had been her employee for several years. He presented himself as loyal and faithful, so she never expected him to be connected to the restorationists. "Where's Rozi? You'd better tell us the truth. Otherwise, your fate will be a lot worse than death," Adrian said coldly.Gritting his teeth, Garcia growled, "Silverboan, don't think you can make me submit so easily! If you want me to spill the truth, you can try!""I’ll take you up on that.”Adrian was never one to show mercy to his enemies. He covered the entire backyard with his Draco Force, causing both Latitia and the other Celestrians to pale. It felt as though a guillotine hung over their heads, waiting to slice their neck at any moment.Garcia was not in a good shape either. He was already injured, and now he could barely withstand Adrian's Draco Force. He managed to hold on for a whole minute, but his already weakened state caused him to almost
Lillian started investigating the estate. After a few minutes, she grimly stated, "This Windshield Mansion is very mysterious. Nobody knows who controls it and many experts have been seen here. It's highly likely to be territory belonging to the Celestria Restorationists.""Is it their stronghold though? Let's find out." Adrian smirked. After a whole day of running around, he was getting closer to where Rozi was supposed to be. If all went as planned, he would find Rozi today.After half an hour, they arrived at the estate outside the city. When they reached the end, they saw a magnificent complex of buildings ahead."I didn't expect the capital to have such scenic spots. These Celestrians really know how to enjoy themselves." Wallace sighed, while Adrian sneered.However, as they tried to enter the estate, they were stopped. A burly Celestrian man at the gate intercepted them. "This is private property. Outsiders are not invited and are prohibited from entering," the man stated st
As they advanced, many Celestrians crossed their path but didn't obstruct Adrian and the others. Instead, they scattered in various directions, likely realizing they stood no chance against Adrian. Since they posed no threat, he refrained from acting against them.Rozi had momentarily appeared in a courtyard deep within the estate, but she vanished before Adrian could pinpoint her location. He entered the courtyard to search but found nothing."Could she have been taken away?" Lillian scowled.Adrian’s brows furrowed. From above, he detected a faint aura of Origin Power. After some deliberation, he surmised the other party likely used a secret technique to flee from the manor. Confronted with this situation, Adrian sighed. "Wait here. I may need to leave for a while. If I don’t return in an hour, seek out Dominique.""What do you mean?" Wallace asked, puzzled.Adrian shook his head. Origin Power was ubiquitous. He sensed residual power in the courtyard, which he could still utiliz
The inability to wield the Draco Force left Adrian compromised in terms of strength. While he had faced situations where his abilities were hindered before, this instance was the most thorough—his Draco Force was utterly gone.Now, Adrian's sole reliance was on the weapons on him. However, the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and Hellblade were not compatible. The Divine Frost Slayer Blade seemed constantly poised to consume the Hellblade, yet the enigmatic Hellblade was clearly formidable. Thus, the Divine Frost Slayer Blade waited for an opportunity.Adrian frowned, thinking this place might not be the world he knew. "Have I stumbled into another Silverboa?" he wondered.His profound unease halted his search for Rozi. The surreal surroundings made him question the wisdom of impulsively seeking her out. What irked him further was the unexpected turn of events—tracing the Origin Power had led him to this inexplicable place.Though Adrian momentarily abandoned the pursuit, remaining stagna
