Adrian stood in front of the table with his hands bevind his back, staring at the in silence
Then slowly, a faint smile curved at the corner of his lips.
He remembered the moment clearly
The instant the servant brought the frAY CAR
The instant the gold pieces were revealed.
He had knowT
Not guessed
Not suspected,
Known
The real one had been obvious to him the moment his eyes landed on it. The awa, the texture, the faint but mistakable fluctuation hidden beneath its surface–none of it could escape his senses.
But he had pretended
He had pretended to hesitate
Pretended to analyze
Pretended to “gamble.”
In reality, the result had been decided from the very beginning
“Two hundred million.” he murmured, then shook his head lightly. “What a troublesome night.”
Still, the outcome had been worth it.
Not because of the money
But because of what the gold represented.
Because of the reaction it had caused.
Because of the people it had drawn out.
Adrian’s eyes darkened slightly as his thoughts drifted
Just then-
Knock Knock
“Come in,” he said calmly.

The door opened and at walked in
Pit,” Palesid respectfully, “Elder sites is here.”
Adrian’s brows lifted sindutiv
“Eider Silas?” he repeated “Did we have an appointment?”
Kai shands his head “Bo He came suddenly. He said what he has to tell you is very important.”
For a talet moment, Adrian was silent
Then he turned away from the table of gold.
“Bring him to the living room.”
“Alright”
Adrian took one last glance at the gold pieces, then walked out.
The living room was quiet and elegant.
Eldey Silas was already standing there when Adrian entered.
He was still wearing his usual plain robe, his posture straight, his eyes deep and calm–but there was something different about him tonight.
Something heavy.
The moment he saw Adrian, he bowed slightly.
“Master.”
Adrian nodded. “You don’t usually come without notice. What happened?”
Elder Silas did not waste time.
“The situation is becoming tense,” he said slowly.
Adrian’s eyes narrowed a little. “Explain.”
Elder Silas took a breath.
“I went into the cultivation world,”
That sentence alone was enough to make the atmosphere change.
“And?” Adrian asked.
“And I found something troubling,” Elder Silas continued. “Many cultivators. Many hidden experts. Even elders from several major pavilions… are all moving.”
“Moving toward where?” Adrian asked calmly.
” Toward you.”
The air seemed to freeze for a second.
“They are gathering,” Elder Silas said. “Quietly. Carefully. But in large numbers.”
Adrian’s expression did not change.
“Why?”
Elder Silas looked at him “Recaner of a ring. ”
Adrian’s gaze sharpened instantly
“Yes,” Elder Silas said. “That ring.”
For a moment, neither of them spoke
Then Adrian said, “How do they know about #7”
“I was also puzzled at first,” Elder Silas replied. “You never revealed it. You were very carefid solved got”
“And?”
Elder Silas’s expression became complicated.
“It traces back to your mother.”
Addian’s fingers slowly tightened.
“Copn”
“After the incident back then,” Elder Silas said, “your mother went to Kal’s father,”
Adrian looked at him.
“She told him she had obtained a ring.” Elder Silas continued. “But she didn’t know the true extent of its power.”
Adrian’s eyes darkened.
“What extent?”
Elder Silas spoke slowly, each word heavy.
“That ring can throw the world into chaos.”
“It can influence minds.”
“It can distort perception.”
“And it can also….” he paused, “…be used to create illness instead of curing it.”
The temperature in the room seemed to drop.
Adrian’s voice was low. “Where did she get it?”
“From her superior,” Elder Silas said. “From someone very high up,”
tle hesitated slightly, then added, “Your mother’s superior had taken it from others. Because if it stayed in the wrong hands. the entire world would be turned upside down.”
Adrian fell silent.
“So she kept it,” he said.
“Yes,” Elder Silas nodded. “But she didn’t fully understand it. And after her death, some traces were inevitably left behind.”
“Enough for people to follow,” Adrian said coldly.
Elder Silas nodded. “Yes,”
Adrian walked to the window and looked outside.
“So now,” he said, “they’re all coming.”
“Yes,” Elder Silas said. “And not just one faction. Several.”
“Do they know it’s with me?”
“They’re not sure,” Elder Silas admitted. “But they’re narrowing it down.”
Adrian was quiet for a long time.
Then he asked, “Is there a way to mislead them?”
Elder Silas’s eyes lit up slightly.
“There is.”
“You can redirect the ring’s signal.”
“To another place.”
Adrian turned back to him. “For how long?”
“Long enough,” Elder Silas said. “To buy time. To confuse them. To split them.”
“And in that time?” Adrian asked.
“We search,” Elder Silas said. “Double the search.”
“Search for what?” Adrian already knew the answer.
“The man who sealed your brain.”
Adrian’s eyes became deep and cold.
“The only one who knows everything,” Elder Silas said. “The only one who might understand the ring completely.”
Adrian laughed softly.
“I’ve been looking for him.”
“And now,” Elder Silas said, “we have no choice but to find him faster.”
Adrian was silent.
Then he said, “Do it.”
“Redirect the signal.”
“Push it far away.”
“Let them chase ghosts.”
Elder Silas nodded. “And you?”
“I’ll stay low,” Adrian said. “For now.”
