The men fled as far as they could since their lives depended on it.

Almost instantly, the alley became completely empty, aside from Nash’s body. Christina looked at Adrian in a daze, her mouth hung ajar. She trembled as she looked at him.

“Y-You killed him,” she said in shock

Adrian was wiping the blood off his hands, completely unaffected by the kill he just made because of how used he was to such things. Then, he smiled at Christina and said, “This is nothing to feel alarmed about, Ms. Christina. Fir deserved to die anyway, so it was only a matter of time before someone got to him.”

Adrian picked up the case filled with money and handed it over to Christina before getting back into the car.

Shirley, who seemed even more infatuated with Adrian now, said, “That was awesome, sir!”

Adrian merely smiled at her, while Mya had already made a call to ask someone to take care of the corpse. Shortly after, Christina got back into the car, still shaken from everything that just happened.

“Mother, allow me to introduce you… This is War Legate Draco!” Shirley introduced Adrian after realizing her mother was still pretty badly shaken.

Christina turned her head the moment she heard this and looked at Adrian with wide eyes.

Meanwhile, Adrian said, “Let’s find somewhere to have a chat, Ms. Christina. There’s something I’d like to ask you about. It has to do with Kayn, your ex-husband.”

“Let’s talk someplace else.”

“okay.”

Christina drove to a business hotel in Southeast City, her mind filled with questions. Once they were seated in the hotel’s. restaurant, she asked, “What’s happened to Kayn, sir? I haven’t heard anything about him being in trouble though.”

Adrian swirled his coffee mug and looked at her. “Please, just call me Adrian.”

“Okay, Adrian.” Christina corrected herself. “I didn’t know that was your name. Also, you’re much younger than 1 imagined. You’re only in your twenties, aren’t you?”

“Twenty-six, to be exact.”

“You’re three years older than me. Just the right age to be my husband, Shirley said with a huge smile on her face.

“I’m already married.” Adrian looked at Shirley.

“What?!” Shirley gasped in shock. “You’re married?! Seriously?!”

She seemed slightly disappointed at this revelation.

Adrian held his hands in the air and smiled. “Let’s get back to business. How long has it been since you last spoke to Kayn, Christina?”

Christina pondered for a minent before she replied, “I haven’t been in touch with him much since we got divorced more than
