Chapter 1649
Kena's face soured, "How could the boss possibly issue such an order? He would love nothing more than to see the end of the four major families!"
"You better ask him yourself, I don't have time to waste here with you."
James didn't even give Kena a glance before he turned and left the valley.
Watching James's retreating figure, Kena muttered to herself, "How could the boss possibly issue such an order... This is clearly a golden opportunity to get rid of them!"
Before Kena could sort things out, someone from outside the valley came running in, "Miss, it's bad! Someone else is coming!"
"Who else?"
Kena was getting impatient.
Apart from Sophie and Colby, there wasn't anyone else from the four major families that could be of use to them.
"It seems... it seems to be someone from the Tredgold family..."
"The Tredgold family's? Adler?"
Kena frowned, "What is that loser doing here?"
As soon as Kena finished speaking, a figure was kicked into the mist.
The person screamed miserably, and then Adler emerged from the mist, his face rarely showing such a ferocious expression. Kena immediately signaled for her people to be on guard. Seeing Adler appear, everyone exchanged bewildered looks.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
In Devonport, among the four major families, there was such a weakling, but no one told them that this so-called weakling was actually so capable of fighting.
The guards outside the valley were
all taken down by Adler alone, and the most outrageous part was that none of the valley's security systems were triggered. This meant that the intruder had completely memorized the layout of the valley and found the safest route, avoiding all security devices, showing a very strong counter-surveillance awareness.
Kena sized up Adler from head to toe.
She had seen this man before, but it was the first time she felt that this young master of the Tredgold family was so unfamiliar.
"Good, capture him. With him in our hands, I don't believe Sophie and Colby won't obediently hand over the gemstone." "Yes!"
Upon receiving Kena's orders, her subordinates moved towards Adler.
Adler couldn't be bothered to waste his energy on these people. The mercenaries outside the valley had already been taken down by him, not to mention these few insignificant foes.
Adler easily made his way through the crowd blocking him and appeared in front of Kena without any hindrance.
Kena only felt a sharp pain on her neck, soon realizing that Adler had pressed a Swiss Army knife against her throat, especially since he didn't seem inclined to be gentle; the blade had drawn blood, clearly on purpose.
"Take me to Jenna."
Adler's tone was cold, as if he would cut her throat the next second.
Kena coolly said, "Mr. Adler, trying to save your sweetheart? But do you dare to go in there with me alone?"
There was a dense allure in Kena's
tone, a familiarity to Adler, that of a world-weary seduction. Seeing Adler remain silent, Kena audaciously wrapped her delicate hand around
Adler's waist.

In response, Adler didn't indulge her. His hand also reached for Kena's back, sliding down her spine, quickly causing Kena to stiffen.
He was no fool. Kena was trying to reach for a vital spot on his spine while he was distracted, so he simply struck first.
