Chapter 1324 - 1264: Patience Is a Virtue

At that moment, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared at the corner, and the alert Marion almost shot him.

"Don’t shoot, I’m one of us."

The man raised his hands and didn’t approach, only then did Marion not open fire.

"Who are you?"

"I’m under Sixth Master, follow me." The man didn’t rush out but stood in the hidden corner, waving to them.

Marion was doubtful of him. Before coming here, Adrian hadn’t mentioned that there were their people here.

"What are you hesitating for? If we don’t leave now, I can’t save you either." The man saw Marion and others standing still and urged hurriedly.

Indeed, not only were there some troublesome individuals behind, but many soldiers were running in their direction.

Sabrina Conner said, "Let’s go." After all, if they didn’t leave now, it would be impossible to leave later.

Marion and Sabrina followed the stranger’s lead, fortunately, it was nighttime, and the complex structure of the mansion made hiding easy.

"Huh? Why did Li take people back?" While running, Sabrina noticed Li was retreating with others.

The man said, "Because they can’t be seen in the light."

"What do you mean?"

"They have been hiding in the shadows, and the General doesn’t know they are lurking in the General’s Residence. If discovered, Night Owl will also be expelled from the General’s Residence."

Sabrina mischievously said, "Then can’t we reveal Night Owl’s actions to the General, have him expel Night Owl, and then add insult to injury..."

The man led them to a simple set of houses in the Northeast corner, presumably for the servants.

There were still horses in the stable, and Sabrina had her eye on a black horse.

"Come in."

Marion held his gun, didn’t move, seeing their caution, the man went in first and turned on the light.

Marion stood at the door looking inside, it was empty without any hiding place, only then did Marion enter.

"Sit down."

"Who are you?" Marion asked.

"My name is Walter Stewart, doctor. Now I’m Night Owl’s exclusive doctor." Walter introduced himself.

"An enemy’s friend is our enemy, doesn’t that make us enemies?" Sabrina joked.

"I’m under Sixth Master."

Prior to coming, Adrian hadn’t mentioned Walter, making Marion suspicious of the man’s identity, "Sixth Master hasn’t mentioned it."

"That I don’t know."

"Do you know the grievances between Sixth Master and Night Owl?" Marion asked.

"Yes."

"Sixth Master wishes Night Owl dead, so why would he send you to treat Night Owl if you’re under Sixth Master?" Marion questioned the most baffling thing.

Walter said, "Sixth Master didn’t want me to heal Night Owl, Sixth Master wanted me to cripple Night Owl."

Sabrina understood, "I get it, Sixth Master thinks Night Owl dying too easily isn’t enough, so he deliberately sent you."

Walter chuckled, "That I don’t know, but following Sixth Master’s instructions, Night Owl’s legs are now crippled, even with the plaster removed, he can’t stand."

Sabrina noted that Adrian’s people, like Marion and Walter, followed orders without question.

"Heh, for a man, being paralyzed is as good as dead." Sabrina imagined Night Owl’s devastated face upon learning the truth.

His beloved wishing for his death, his legs paralyzed... eventually, taking down Night Owl’s subordinates...

"Sixth Master, such wisdom and prowess!" Sabrina flattered.

At that moment, Adrian’s phone rang, Marion quickly answered.

"Sixth Master, the recording has been played for Night Owl, he is very angry." Marion reported to Adrian, "...Sixth Master, Li and others around Night Owl are there, the information was incorrect."

"I just received the news."

Forty bounty hunters’ bodies were discovered near the coast, brutally murdered, some missing arms, missing legs, some without heads, the death pose horrifyingly gruesome.

The remaining bounty hunters’ fates unknown, presumed killed, not even bodies were found.

Though they severely injured Night Owl, they didn’t gain any advantage.

"Are you two alright?"

"Sabrina and I are fine." Marion looked at Walter, confirming Walter’s identity with Adrian, learning Walter was indeed one of them, Marion completely let down his guard against Walter.

"Glad you’re okay."

The information was incorrect, Adrian only got the definite news now.

"Sixth Master, what should we do next?"

Adrian ordered, "Kill all of Night Owl’s people, one by one!" Adrian wanted to pull out Night Owl’s claws.

Without claws, without fangs, he wanted to see Night Owl’s fate.

He wouldn’t kill Night Owl with one strike, it would be too easy for him and wouldn’t ease Adrian’s resentment. He would torment him slowly, make him regret opposing him.

"Yes, Sixth Master."

"Be careful."

"We will.

...

Oak Tree Hotel,

Due to an incident, Adrian and Sienna Johnson were temporarily staying here.

Sienna stepped out, saw Adrian had been on the phone, as soon as she came out, Adrian hung up.

"Didn’t you say you had to go out? How come you haven’t left yet?"

"Awake now." Adrian approached her, seeing her struggling with the cane, lifted her.

"Why not sleep a little longer?"

"Sleeping all the time, there’s no way I could sleep any more."

In the room, Sienna finally didn’t have to wear the black robe, in a light, breathable lotus-colored pleated skirt with a sweetheart neckline, Adrian lowered his head to gaze upon a delightful sight.

Seeing him staring at her chest, eyes fierce, she sarcastically said, "What are you staring at? What’s so interesting about it..."

Adrian directly reached out, roughly kneading, Sienna slapped a few times, unable to stop him.

"Didn’t you say you were meeting friends? Why aren’t you leaving?"

Adrian lifted her skirt, Sienna yelled, "No way!"

"Why not?"

"My Auntie is visiting."

Naturally, Adrian understood "Auntie," regrettably caressing her smooth legs, saying, "Your Auntie’s timing is unfortunate."

"Stop thinking about unproductive things, hurry and resolve Night Owl’s issue, so we can return to Sileria City."

"Impatience won’t cook the tofu!"

Sienna grabbed Adrian’s ear, shouting at him, "I’m giving you one month, within a month, whether you’ve dealt with Night Owl or not, I’m going back to Sileria City!"
