Chapter 3423

"You know what to do, right?" Adrian asked Mark.

Mark nodded. "Yes, Mr. Adrian." He gestured at the soldiers, and his attendants took the soldiers away to be punished.

With that matter settled, Adrian said, "Lord Mark, we need a place to stay for the night."

"Sure, Mr. Adrian. If I had known you were coming, I would have made preparations," Mark replied eagerly.

"No need for that," Adrian said with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Just arrange a place for us as you would normally."

Mark nodded and promptly arranged accommodations for Adrian and his companions. Once everything was prepared, Adrian dismissed Mark, instructing him to attend to his duties and not to disturb him unless necessary.

As the evening wore on, Adrian prepared to rest. Just then, Machias approached him. "I didn’t expect you to be the man of legend."

Adrian chuckled. "That's right, I am that man. But there's no need for you to feel uneasy. I don't bite."

Machias, who was naturally easygoing, quickly relaxed.
