    Chapter 705


    Five million people?


    That was a huge organization. Moreover, that number was just a rough estimation.


    Adrian pursed his lips but he did not speak.


    Ivy stood up, looked at him, and said, “Bloody Rose is scarier than Chase. Moreover, if I’m not


    mistaken, Chase has been colluding with Bloody Rose in secret for a long time. It’s just that Wyvern


    Peak hasn’t noticed because you guys were busy fighting wars.”


    Adrianposed his train of thoughts. Ivy and the others showed up because they were assigned to


    do so by Bloody Rose. On the other hand, the person behind Bloody Rose was named Eternity, and no


    one had seen her before.


    The part that puzzled him was that Eternity knew about Kayn, and she knew that he was investigating


    Heroes of Wyvern Peak’s whereabouts. Did she send her people to retrieve the book Kayn left behind


    so that Adrian would not see it?


    If that was the case, Eternity had been watching him all this time. It could be said that his every action


    was within her control. In light of that, there were surely countless connections between Eternity and


    Chase. However, everything that happened narrowed down to one thing–Wyvern Peak written by


    Hannibal.


    Was this a game? Some sort of plot?


    He would have to investigate thoroughly.


    “I understand everything you’ve just told me,” Adrian said to the two women afterposing himself.


    Ivy said, “They’ve surely killed Louisa when we failed the mission. What’s your n, Draco? You


    promised you’d protect us.”


    Adrian smiled and answered, “Did I? I don’t remember promising such a thing.”


    “Why you…” Ivy was rendered speechless as she pointed a finger at Adrian.


    Adrian sipped his coffee.


    Ivy said in exasperation, “We’ve already told you what we’re supposed to. You promised that you’d


    protect us, and now you’re trying to go back on your own word? If that’s how you want to do this, you


    might as well kill us!”


    “How could I bring myself to kill you when you’re all so pretty?”


    “Protect us then,” said Ivy coldly.


    Adrian crossed his legs. He decided that he would tease these two women a little more. He chuckled


    and said, “Bloody Rose is now pursuing you and trying to kill you. If I harbored you, wouldn’t I be


    provoking Bloody Rose? You know that I’m busy dealing with Chase, so how will I have the time to help


    you?”


    Ivy stamped her foot in rage. “How could you do this?! You said you’d protect us! Moreover, do you


    think that Bloody Rose won’t target you if we’re gone? That book was solid evidence. Also, you burned


    such an important book. Are you sick in the head or something?!”


    Ivy berated Adrian in exasperation.


    “Not only did he burn the book, but he also killed the few people involved.


    “Frankly, sir, you shouldn’t have killed Kayn or Charles so early because I’m certain that they had


    things that they had yet to reveal.”


    Mya walked into the room and leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed over her chest.


    Ivy was enlightened upon hearing this. “It’s no wonder Wyvern Peak is on the constant decline this


    year. It’s because you have a fool for a leader. It’d be strange if Wyvern Peak ever rises again.”


    Adrian chuckled.


    Ivy said angrily, “Why are youughing? What’s so funny?”

    Adrian stopped smiling and became serious all of a sudden. “I have a condition to propose.”


    Ivy and Eira exchanged nces.


    “What condition is that?” Ivy asked with a frown.
