Chapter 405 Adrian Was Forcibly Awakened

Adam's trio of bodyguards surged into action, forming a living barricade between the imminent danger and their charges. Armed with nothing but their determination, they could only rely on their own bodies, standing resolutely as human shields against the looming threat.

A cold smirk curved his lips as he taunted, "You’ve got guts making this kind of scene in Astonville! Let’s find out who’s quicker on the draw—you or me!" The room froze in a harrowing standoff, tension coiling tighter with every passing second. Both sides held their ground, neither willing to yield nor fire the first shot, but the weight of unspoken threats hung heavily in the air, thick enough to choke. The stakes were undeniable—bullets don't care who they hit! A glancing wound could cripple, and a single shot could end a life!
