“Joanne, Nadine, Adaline… Their names all crop up in the prophecy. And the only way to save them is to know what the prophecy is. I believe you wouldn’t disregard your own family now, would you?” Kayn smiled.

It sounded like he had brought out some substantial leverage.

Yet, just as Kayn thought Adrian would not dare kill him, Adrian sliced his palm across Kayn’s neck, causing his gaze to fade away and his body to tremble as his head rolled onto the floor.

“Aah!”

“Aah!”

Christina and Shirley screamed the moment they realized what had happened.

Kayn had died within seconds, leaving Christina stunned.

Yet, Kayn’s head remained lifelessly still.

At that moment, the mother and daughter stared at Adrian and realized he had turned into a completely different man.

“Nobody is allowed to hold any leverage over me,” Adrian said as he brought out a napkin to wipe the blood off his hand. “If I were Kayn, I would’ve recorded the contents of the book. He probably doesn’t keep the notes on him, but it should be somewhere close to wherever he goes.

Adrian did not respond and walked downstairs.

Shirley turned around and cried, “Why did you kill him without any warning?1 I didn’t even get to=”

“That’s enough, Shirley.” Christina pulled her back.

At that moment, Adrian stopped and said without turning his head, “Why shouldn’t I have killed him? Were you planning on celebrating Christmas with him?”
