The next morning, Adam left Leona's place with Fana; he couldn't stay in that location for another moment.
During dinner last night, the Sparta Brothers looked as if they wanted to 'flay' him alive, and their sharp gazes made Adam eat several fewer bites of food.
"Finally, we have the upper hand."
Leon and the other never imagined that Leona and Adam had already shared an intimate moment.
Night raid!
Fana's state seemed off; she had stayed in the room next to Adam's last night, and the string quartet sounds had kept her awake all night.
With two prominent dark circles under her eyes, she walked silently behind Adam.
So sleepy~
...At the Vermillion residence.
"Big sister, how could you be with Adam? You're so much older than him..."
With a 'bang,' a large bump appeared on Leon's head, and Leona said angrily, "Don't you know a woman's age is taboo? You foolish little brother!"
"Besides, you don't need to worry about my affairs; just worry about your own."
Leona walked away without looking back, leaving behind a disgruntled Leon, who clenched his fists tightly.
He was determined to interfere; Leon would never allow his big sister to be with Adam. This matter concerned the Vermillion family's honor.
The Hot-Blooded King, after obtaining the Fire Spirit, seemed to be getting a bit out of hand.
At this time, Leon's good friend Nozel also encountered a problem. Ever since he reconciled with his sister, he desperately wanted to bring Noelle back to the Silver Wing Knight Order and keep her far away from that guy, Adam.
But Noelle refused.
What a pair of difficult brothers!
...At the Wizard King's Palace.
"Everyone truly worked very hard. The battle is over, and everything has come to an end, although I really want to say that..."
Adam, who had just left the Royal Capital, met Asta and others who were on their way to the Wizard King's Palace, so he simply followed along.
Julius, who had turned into a child, still spoke in the same manner.
He loved to keep people in suspense!
"So long-winded..."
Julius held a blank piece of paper; his oversized grimoire had now become like this.
A Magic Emperor without power cannot suppress the royalist faction, and this kingdom will enter an even more turbulent period.
Julius held up three fingers and explained his predictions to everyone.
The cost of the Magic Emperor's disappearance, the downfall of the Clover Kingdom, or the deaths of Adam and Asta.
"You mean Asta and I will be made scapegoats for the Magic Knights' mistakes and face judgment from the Magic Council?"
Adam was amused. Even if he had lost the power of the jade pendant, he was still a man with seven Zodiac Powers.
Moreover, he now had Xiao Shui and Xiao Lan, plus the members of the Akatsuki Organization; this was not something anyone could take advantage of.
"Adam, I don't know when your mysterious power will disappear."
Julius seemed to sense Adam's dangerous thoughts and immediately said, "You must know that the Magic Council is composed of royalty and nobles, especially Council Chairman Dahm. He is one of the three great royal families, a strongman from the King's lineage."
"You can't kill them all!"
Even Asta, who had been momentarily stunned, immediately recovered and said, "Magic Emperor, Adam is not that kind of person, and I believe that if we just talk it out, everyone can understand each other."
Naive!
Adam was a bit disappointed in Asta. People's prejudices are like a great mountain that cannot be moved by effort alone.
You have to blast it with a Dragon Blast, solving the problem in one strike.
Julius's words, however, gave Adam a hint of inspiration. Although he couldn't kill all the high-ranking officials at once like Law, he could keep half of the good ones and eliminate half of the bad ones.
The more Adam thought, the clearer his Ideas became, and a slight curve involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth. Those two unusual auras were no longer felt.
He could be bolder with his actions.
"Thank you, Magic Emperor."
Adam gave Julius a thumbs up. This guy was indeed a sly fox, capable of coming up with any dirty trick.
Uh... Julius watched Adam's retreating back, then turned to Yami and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Boss, that kid is just like that; you don't need to worry too much..." Yami also felt uncertain, always sensing that something big was about to happen.
"Keep an eye on him these next few days. Don't let him blow things out of proportion."
"Yes!"
..."Adam, why is this woman always following you?" Noelle, who had just left the Palace, finally couldn't hold back.
Why was this woman following Adam? Could it be that the two of them...ouch~
"What are you thinking?"
Adam tapped Noelle's head. The young girl quickly covered her head, looking aggrieved.
"She's my little assistant."
Adam looked at Noelle with doting affection, stroking her head as he explained.
The young girl's face instantly flushed, her mind a bit muddled, and her speech became a little incoherent.
"I don't care about her! What's her relationship with you... I don't want to know at all."
Coincidentally, this scene was witnessed by Nozel. This sister-complex brother, on his way to the Knight Order, was practically grinding his teeth.
"Adam, what are you doing?"
Nozel walked over aggressively.
"Brother Nozel!"
Adam looked at Nozel, not even wanting to greet him. He had no good feelings for this guy who had abandoned Noelle to the Black Bulls.
Under the guise of protection, he never actually helped Noelle. Not only did he stand by idly, but he also constantly discouraged her.
"Let's go!"
Adam grabbed Noelle's hand, intending to leave. Nozel quickly grabbed his sister's other hand, refusing to let them go.
"Let go!"
"You let go first!"
Noelle was bewildered, and Fana and the others also looked on, eager for more drama. This kind of scene, with a brother rescuing his sister from a 'blond-haired' guy, was truly uncommon.
"Enough!"
Noelle directly shook off both their hands and, in a fit of anger, ran away.
"You asked for it."
Adam bypassed Nozel and chased after her with a look of disdain.
Everyone quickly followed the two, afraid of incurring Nozel's wrath.
"Damn it!"
The brother, having lost to the 'blond-haired' guy, finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Adam, you just wait!"
...The mess in the Royal Capital needed the Magic Knights to maintain order, so these past few days, Adam followed the Black Bulls, starting to provide relief to the city's residents.
"Lord Xiao Shui, if it weren't for you, this old man would have been crushed by the stone slab."
An old man grasped Xiao Shui's hand and began to cry profusely.
"Is this the divine dragon that saved us? Heaven truly has eyes, allowing us to see you again."
"This is truly a blessing from Heaven for the Clover Kingdom. Lord Adam, please accept our bow."
The Black Bulls members looked at the scene before them, almost in disbelief. Wherever Adam brought the two spirits, the residents reacted as if they had seen a savior, so excited they were almost fainting.
This was worship from the bottom of their hearts!
"Everyone, please rise quickly. This is what we should do."
Adam personally helped the residents up. This approachable scene truly captured everyone's hearts.
The main reason was that Xiao Shui and Xiao Lan were truly powerful, saving people during the chaos. This miracle born from despair was something that could not be exchanged for anything.
"I'm going to rest for a bit."
Adam passed through the enthusiastic crowd, came to a secluded spot, and found a rock to sit on.
"Lord Adam."
Fana also followed. She took out carefully wrapped fruit and offered it to Adam's mouth.
"Hmm... not bad."
Adam ate the fruit Fana fed him, nodding in satisfaction. This little assistant was starting to get into the swing of things.
She was very efficient!
Fana also fed food to the water-blue duo on Adam's shoulder. Although these two little ones didn't need to eat, they also enjoyed the deliciousness of ordinary food.
With a "whoosh," a ninja dressed in black suddenly appeared before Adam and took out a white piece of paper.
"You've worked hard!"
The Shadow Ninja knelt on one knee, lowering his head. These were the red-eyed, green-faced servants, the Shadow Legion from Snake Island.
