As soon as Reiss sat down, she turned to Adrian and said, “Thank you
for saving me earlier.”
In response, Adrian wamed, “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.”
“Excellent,” Adrian replied.
After receiving the news, Adrian looked at Reiss and said, “Roman is dead now.”
Reiss was shocked, “What? Don Roman is dead?”
Adrian nodded. “Yes, he’s gone now. You will need to rethink your future. No one can threaten you anymore!
“I’d like to go to the Battle Warrior Department and retrieve Seth’s ashes first. He was my half-brother so it’s still my responsibility. I’ll make plans after I come back,” Reiss said.
Adrian did not object to this.
Reiss suddenly continued, “By the way, Adrian, do you remember Chubbs? I heard he’s already married. Are you still in contact with him?
Chubbs, whose full name was Chuck Wilson, was Adrian’s best friend in high school. He vaguely remembered how they were inseparable and always played video games together after school
Later in life, Chuck failed to get into university and after Adrian married Samantha, Harold sent Adrian away. The two had not
been in touch for over seven years.
Adrian chuckled, “I haven’t contacted Chubbs since I left.”
Reiss nodded, “I kept in touch with Chubbs for two years after you left. We met up for dinner and drinks. When I mentioned you to him, he became quite emotional. He was very concerned about you but he was powerless to do anything”
“Have you spoken to him recently?” Adrian asked.
Reiss shook her head. “The last time we talked was when he invited me to his wedding Unfortunately, I was too busy to attend so I just sent him a wedding gift through a friend. But I heard from someone that something happened in Chubbs’ family recently but his phone number is no longer in service.”novelbin
Adrian fell silent for a moment, realizing that Chuck was probably his only friend in the world.
At this point, Heiss pulled out her phone and suggested, “Adrian, let’s exchange numbers. After all, we’re practically friends
“Sure!” Adrian nodded, handing his phone to Beiss
They exchanged numbers and added each other un WhatsApp. Once they were done, Beiss returnes the phone to Adrian with at

“Oh, and I saved Chubbs’ number on your phone Luo,” she added, “If you ever manage to get in touch with him, let me know.
Chapter 376
We can meet up and have a few drinks together.
Adrian nodded in agreement, holding onto his phone. “Absolutely I’ll make sure to keep you posted. When do you plan to head back to Northrive?”
“I should be back by tomorrow night, once I have my brother’s ashes,” Reiss responded.
“Sure, I’ll contact him as soon as possible then, Adrian promised.
“All right, it’s getting late Reiss nodded. She then turned back to Adrian and asked, “By the way, can you tell me where Battle Warrior Tower is!”
