Chapter 679


    Adrian remained silent for a moment before he said, “These immortals that I speak of are capable of


    living past a thousand years old. Ten thousand, even. Since Hannibal’s a part of this, he must still be


    alive. We have to get to the bottom of this.”


    Mya said, “If all of this is true, we could never go up against an immortal. After all, everyone at Wyvern


    Peak is nothing more than a character in his game.”


    “I want you to keep this a secret from everyone else while I investigate. Also, make sure this piece of


    metal is stored safely. We mustn’t let anyone activate its powers, or the whole city might be destroyed.”

    “Understood.” Mya nodded in acknowledgment.


    At that moment, thendline rang. Mya reached out to grab the phone and said, “Yes?


    “Madam, there’s trouble! Madam Legate has been kidnapped!” a voice said urgently from the other end


    of the line.


    “What?!” Mya was instantly stunned.


    Adrian, too, was shocked.


    “A group of highly trained women charged into One Jewel Road and abducted the legate’s mother, his


    wife, and Ms. Joanna. We already have the ce surrounded right now.”


    “A group of highly trained women?”


    “It’s Bloody Rose.” Adrian immediately stood up.


    ‘Bloody Rose?‘


    “We’ll be right there!” Mya dashed out of the room after saying this, with Adrian leading the way.


    The both of them left the department and rushed straight to One Jewel Road.


    While driving, Mya asked, “Are you sure this is Bloody Rose’s doing, sir? They’ve been in the ounds


    this whole time. When did they even enter our territory?”


    “The woman who appeared at the church two nights ago was Ivy Cox, an assassin from Bloody Rose.


    Looks like she’s determined to get that book.”


    “D*mn b*stards! I’ll have someone pay a visit to the ounds and exterminate Bloody Rose!”


    “They’re a huge organization under the ounds‘ protection, so you shouldn’t do anything to them for


    the time being. Their superiors are all Navians, who will be more beneficial to us alive than dead if we


    y our cards right,” Adrian saki.


    “But these women seem fearless of death. It’s only a matter of time before they choose which side to


    take. You’re not nning on seducing them, are you? You’re not even handsome to start with.”


    Mya tilted her head and looked at Adrian.


    Adrian did not reply to her directly and urged, “Drive”


    “okay!”


    The car sped through the streets, and it was just past midnight.


    Thousands of soldiers from Wyvern Peak had One Jewel Road surrounded, which brought about the


    attention of nearby residents. However, nobody dared to step out of their house to find out what was


    happening due to lowte it was.


    Under the lights at Adrian’s courtyard, more than twenty women in tight shorts were having a standoff


    against the soldiers, with Ivy leading the charge. They were all extremely gorgeous women with both


    exceptional looks and physique yet their eyes were filled with murderous intent.


    At that moment, Ivy was holding Samantha, a dagger resting against thetter’s neck. She was holding


    Samantha hostage!
