Chapter 181 Anticipation

Chapter 181 Anticipation

The group of orcs were stunned by Adam's speed. All of them were Neural Stage Magi, so as a result, their eyesights were greatly enhanced.

Despite that, they were unable to see through the youth's movements!

But so what?

Having the puny human look down on them so arrogantly really struck their nerves. At once, the orcs brandished their weapons and angrily hurled insults and were ready to attack any moment now.

"Human trash!"

"You dare look down on us?!"

"I'll rip your damn throat!"

Adam didn't reply to them. Instead, he stood there with his arms crossed and made an extremely condescending face that screamed 'You want some? Come get some!'

Seeing his expression, the orcs were livid. They were about to charge at him when suddenly, the leader of the group, Kurdan, stopped them in their tracks. "I forbid you to engage him in battle."

"But, leader, look what he did to Gorgo!"

"How can we let him go just like that?"

"Besides, he's just one person."

Kurdan instantly put an end to this discussion by releasing his mana, putting the orcs under such pressure that they couldn't help but take a step back.

His cold gaze fell on each one of them and he flatly muttered, "That is an order."

When Adam witnessed this scene, he was slightly surprised. With raised eyebrows, he glanced at Kurdan, impressed. This guy's pretty strong.

As the orcs reluctantly sheathed back their weapons, Kurdan glanced at Gorgo and then finally at Adam. "Thank you for going easy on him."

Once again, Adam was taken by surprise. He couldn't help but think to himself, He's quite coolheaded for an orc. I thought they were all barbarians.

He replied with a shrug, "Eh, no problem. I don't like to kill unnecessarily."

Kurdan deeply looked at the human youth and then nodded. "We will be taking a different route to the pyramid." New novel chapters are published on

She then glanced at the twins and was full of praise. "You guys' coordinated attack was amazing—"

Suddenly, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the direction of the forest. Thinking that it was yet another enemy attack, the four of them instantly turned vigilant and got ready to fight.

But when they looked in the direction of the forest, they were flabbergasted. It wasn't an enemy at all.

"Rawr~"

Valerian ran toward them, taking tiny steps. He growled menacingly at the four, but all that did was melt their hearts.

"Val!" A bright smile bloomed on Lisa's face. She ran toward the young dragon cheerfully. She knelt on the ground and welcomed him with open arms.

"Myu!" Valerian jumped into her arms and then started to lick her cheeks fondly.

The next moment, the little guy caught sight of Edward approaching. Seeing him, Valerian got very excited. He quickly ran away from Lisa and agilely climbed Edward.

"Myuuu!" The young dragon put his arms around Edward's neck and hugged him with eyes tight shut.

"Hahaha!" Edward gently patted Valerian's back and smiled warmly. "Did you miss me, Little Val?"

"Myu~" Valerian nodded cutely. Out of all of Adam's friends, he was the closest to Edward.

After all, Edward and Adam spent most of their time together, so naturally Valerian too had gotten very attached to the blue-

eyed boy.

"By the way, where's that guy?" Edward asked curiously, his tone laced with a hint of excitement.

Valerian opened his eyes and then pointed in the distance. "Myu!"

The four kids turned their heads in the direction the little guy was pointing toward. There, they saw a lone figure slowly walking out of the forest.

He was wearing a crude, black cloak and was walking with his arms clasped behind his back, and a faint smile adorning his face.

Seeing this familiar person approaching them, the four of them couldn't help but be filled with anticipation, especially Edward and Lisa. After all, they had been away from each other for close to a year now.

But their expression gradually darkened as Adam came closer and closer. Until finally, their jaws dropped and they screamed in unison.

"Who the hell are you?!"
