Her Majestic Battle Cry

2/2

Chapter 1360

The black–clad assailants‘ Lightfoot Skills were extraordinary, and they scattered in all directions. Adrian could have pursued one of them, but catching all of them was impossible.

However, he chose not to pursue anyone at all. Emerging from the shadows, his hand darted out and grabbed Carissa by the ear, twisting it until she yelped in pain.

“So bold of you, wasn’t it? To engage without proper defenses? Do you think you’re invincible? Haven’t you heard the saying that there’s always someone stronger out there?

Carissa shrieked and flailed in protest as the lamps were lit by Jacob, illuminating the courtyard and revealing the bloodstains on everyone’s bodies.

Only then did Adrian notice the wounds on Carissa. Yet instead of softening, his grip on her ear tightened, and he hissed, “You couldn’t guess what Nicholas was planning? And you didn’t think to write for reinforcements from Meadow Ridge? Are you so arrogant now that you’ve forgotten basic caution? Just wait until your martial uncle arrives–you’ll regret it!”

It was the first time Adrian had ever been so furious with Carissa. No matter how much trouble she caused when she was younger, he would always bow, offer gifts, and apologize on her behalf.

Now, it was Carissa’s turn to bow and beg for forgiveness.

“I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me, Sage Adrian!”

Adrian kicked her on a spot with no blood–right on the knee. He didn’t use much force, but to Kyle and the others, it looked harsh.

None of them dared to speak up. It was Jacob who finally stepped forward, bowing as he tried to mediate.
