Adrian instantly sensed the threat of the bullet.He shoved Reiss out of the way and the bullet grazed her top.“Gah!” Reiss shrieked.The bullet failed to hurt her and hit the lamppost because Adrian had shoved her to the ground.“What?! F*ck!” the middle-aged man in the car cussed after noticing that he missed his shot. He shouted at the driver, “F*ck! Stop the car! I’m going to shoot him to death!”The Mercedes Benz stopped and the man clambered out of the sunroof before aiming his gun once again.Adrian furrowed his eyebrows upon witnessing the scene. “D*mn it!”Upon saying this, he moved so swiftly that he turned into shadows.Adrian reached the car and grabbed the man’s arm before he could fire his second shot. A ripping sound was heard and the man’s right arm was ripped away from his shoulder.“Gahhhh!” The man let out a heartbreaking, agonizing scream. He was dragged out through the sunroof before crashing heavily into the ground.“Aaargh!”The sound of his agonizing

As soon as Reiss sat down, she turned to Adrian and said, "Thank you for saving me earlier."In response, Adrian warned, "Roman and your father are headed for a bad ending. Do you have any plans for the future? I suggest you don't go back to Northrive."Reiss fell silent.Adrian then proceeded to ask her about other matters. He learned that she lost her mother at an early age and was raised by her grandmother. Now that she was grown up, her stepmother was plotting to use her to advance the De Forrest family's power in Northrive.For the past few years, Reiss had lived under her stepmother's shadow. Including this time, when she was sent to Swallowston to assassinate Adrian in revenge for Seth's death.Adrian tried to persuade Reiss to reconsider her situation, but their conversation was interrupted by a phone call from Daniel."Sir, Roman has been disposed of," Daniel said urgently, "As per your request, he's now mincemeat. We've sent people to apprehend his subordinates.""Exce

Adrian led Reiss to the Battle Warrior Department."Here we are. You can go inside and ask someone for assistance. I have to go now. Take care!" Adrian said."Okay, see you later," Reiss replied with a smile.Adrian returned the smile.Suddenly, Reiss extended her small, fair hand to Adrian. Without hesitation, he shook her hand.As Reiss walked into the tower, Adrian picked up his phone and made a call. "Hey Daniel, a girl named Reiss just went to the department. She’s Seth's sister and is here to retrieve his ashes. Can you arrange for someone to provide her with a pass so that she can enter the funeral parlor?""Got it," Daniel replied.The arrangements were made swiftly, and once they were settled, Adrian went back to One Jewel Road. When he got home, Samantha was already back and was cooking with Joanna.Upon seeing Adrian, Joanna exclaimed, "Adrian, where have you been?"Joanna spoke in a huff while Samantha chuckled.Adrian grinned and said, "My apologies. I ran into a

Rue vividly remembered Chuck—the chubby boy who knew his way around words.Adrian exclaimed, "Yes, that's him!""I haven't seen him in a while," Rue said, "Did you know that when you left, Chuck used to come to our house every day asking if you had come back? This went on for over a year."Adrian took a deep breath. He was surprised to hear this as he never expected Chuck to look for him so persistently."What happened after that?" Adrian asked.Rue replied, "Chuck would bring gifts every time he came to our house. He knew that our family was bankrupt so he bought a lot of study supplies for Ada. But then, after more than a year, he stopped coming.""Do you know where he went?" Adrian wondered."I asked around and it seems that Chuck's father was crushed to death when a building collapsed during his construction work. I don't know how it was handled in the end. Since then, I have not seen him." Rue revealed the sad news to Adrian.Adrian's face fell from shock and disbelief."

Mya did not say anything else, and Reiss left the Battle Warrior Tower with the pass in hand.Reiss took a taxi directly to the funeral parlor located on the outskirts of Swallowston, which was quite far away. Unbeknownst to her, she was being targeted by two young men who were in a car behind her."That woman is Seth's sister. D*mn it! How dare she struts into Swallowston so openly. We'll give her a lesson later," one of the young men muttered angrily, looking at Reiss in her car.The other young man nodded in agreement and suggested, "Let's follow her and show her what happens when she messes with us."These two young men, named Cliff and Marlin Black, were cousins of Simon and part of the Black family. They had set their eyes on Reiss when she appeared near the Battle Warrior Department.Simon’s death greatly impacted the Blacks and they could not tolerate the humiliation. Cliff immediately made a phone call and quickly arranged for several people to follow Reiss.***Half an

Upon saying that, Marlin snatched the urn from Reiss’ hands.Reiss shrieked, “Don’t do anything to him!“Gahhh!”Reiss screamed. She was having trouble accepting this.In a fit, she cried and shouted, “I won’t let you get away with this, you b*stards!”Unable to withstand the agony, Reiss charged toward Marlin in a fit of hysteria.Already boiling with anger since the start, Marlin roared, “Beat her up!”More than twenty people immediately ran over and swung at Reiss with the clubs in their hands.Reiss was shaking all over and was at loss for what to do.However, the moment these people moved to attack her, a loud shout was suddenly heard. “Stop!”The shout made Marlin and Cliff stop what they were doing and turned around to look over in puzzlement.Reiss looked in the direction where the roar came from, her face covered in tears. She saw Adrian coming from a distance to stop the attack.She was overcome with emotion when she saw him.Cliff recognized Adrian and raised an

Reiss crouched on the floor in helplessness as she watched Seth’s ashes blow away with the wind before vanishing into the crowd.‘Is this retribution for what he did?’Reiss had no idea what she should do because everything happened too quickly. On all fours, she cried until her face was covered in tears.“This is his life. You don’t have to be too upset,” Adrian said upon seeing Reiss crying on the floor.Adrian was supposed to be resting at home yet he received a call from the department claiming that someone was following Reiss.Reiss looked at the urn on the ground in a daze, her body shaking.“He’s dead and didn’t even get to leave behind a pinch of his ashes. Is this his retribution?” Reiss sobbed.Seth had committed all sorts of heinous acts when he was alive. In his death, he received the retribution that he deserved.Reiss had always believed that good and evil would always be rewarded. It was only a matter of time. And Seth was no exception.Adrian patted her shoulde

Hearing these words, Reiss felt much better.She had not expected her old schoolmate to be rather good at comforting women.Reiss said, “I’ll remember what you told me. Don’t worry, I won’t let myself be affected.”Adrian smiled. “Great. Well then, let’s eat!”Reiss was starving. She picked up her cutlery and began eating. Adrian sat opposite and watched her scoff down her food. The meal passed in silence.Reiss would occasionally wipe away tears as she ate. Adrian poured her a glass of water and asked, “Do you have any plans for the future?”Reiss inhaled a deep breath and flipped her silky hair.“I have no idea, I might return to Northrive but I don’t feel like going back. My parents have already been brainwashed. If I go back now, I’ll probably be heading toward the end of my life,” said Reiss with a bitter smile.“What do you mean?” Adrian asked.“My father has never been a kind person. Ever since Seth’s death, my parents have been hell-bent on avenging him. My father is p
