The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Adrian Desmond had clashed with Night Owl many times, and he understood Night Owl’s temperament well.

Night Owl must have sensed his dangerous situation, using a tactic of feinting east and striking west, making them believe he had left the Imperial Palace.

His gaze rested on Doctor X, Adrian Desmond sneered, "Old man, this time Night Owl discarded you like useless chess piece."

Doctor X looked at Adrian Desmond and said, "I don’t understand, what are you talking about?"

"It means Night Owl used you as bait to escape. You two are always inseparable, Night Owl deliberately made me think he left the Imperial Palace..." Adrian paused and said, "Actually, he’s still in the Imperial Palace."

Doctor X chuckled, "Haha, Bill, you’re trying to get information from me, but I won’t fall for it."

Adrian Desmond squatted down, looking at the elderly man whose face was becoming increasingly pale due to excessive blood loss.

At such an advanced age, not knowing when he’ll kick the bucket, not enjoying his twilight years, but still thinking about his scientific research, truly a madman.

"Earlier, Kiya told me the car you left together with exploded. If Night Owl was really in it, do you think he’d commit suicide?"

Doctor X fell silent.

"Some tricks work once, but lose their effectiveness the second time."

"..."

"Old man, a person who even harms his own kin, how good can he be to others?"

"..."

"To him, you were just a chess piece. Once you’re no longer useful, it’s time to be discarded."

"Goodbye, old man!" Adrian Desmond glanced at Doctor X, stood up, "If you meet Let, say hello for me.

If there’s a next life, don’t become brothers with someone as insane as Night Owl."

Adrian Desmond turned to leave, Doctor X watched Adrian’s silhouette, his eyes moved, then suddenly said, "Bill, for old times’ sake, let me give you a keepsake."

"Thanks, but I’ll pass."

Doctor X pulled off a pendant from his neck, shaped like a bullet, looking quite ordinary.

"Take it, it’s my lucky charm, hope it brings you luck too."

Doctor X tossed the pendant to Adrian Desmond, who caught it, looked at it with disdain, "If this thing could really bring you luck, you wouldn’t be dying."

"Kid, I’ve lived to over eighty, isn’t that lucky enough?"

"..."

"Let, I feel so sorry for him."

"Now you feel sorry for him, what were you thinking before?"

Regarding Doctor X’s final regrets before dying, Adrian Desmond felt no sympathy, it was just crocodile tears.

Adrian Desmond got in the car and left.

Doctor X looked at his continuously bleeding leg, knowing he wouldn’t live much longer. He was already old, and this ordeal only made things worse.

Actually, Adrian Desmond’s words, Doctor X believed them.

Night Owl, that man has no feelings, once he lost his usefulness to Night Owl, Night Owl would abandon him without hesitation.

Throwing him out was only to confuse Adrian Desmond.

Sabrina Conner carried Doctor X into Barnes Smythe’s car, Doctor X smiled warmly and said, "Young man, I’m dying, if you want to torture me, better hurry."

"Haha, I won’t let you die that easily."

Sabrina Conner injected Doctor X with a drug, this new type of drug could keep a person excited for 24 hours.

hours was enough time for this old man to taste his methods.

"Where to?" Barnes Smythe asked.

"Hell!"

Barnes Smythe: ...

...

Kiya used the excuse of a thief entering the Imperial Palace to conduct a midnight search, disappointingly, no trace of Night Owl was found.

He could have just called Adrian Desmond to inform him of the news, but instead Kiya came to Desmond Manor personally to tell Adrian Desmond.

"Without finding the body, I can’t believe he’s dead." Adrian Desmond said.

"..."

"Are you sure he’s not in the Imperial Palace?" Adrian Desmond asked.

"The Imperial Palace is huge, although I searched everywhere, I can’t be one hundred percent certain Night Owl isn’t there."

Shariff Royal Palace is the largest palace in the world, covering a vast area with over 1700 rooms, if Night Owl wanted to hide, it would be really hard to find him.

"Night Owl and Gulit are in cahoots, with Gulit’s help, hiding in the palace was easy for him. Without Gulit’s help, Night Owl wants to completely conceal his tracks won’t be easy, have the guards keep an eye out, if Night Owl is really still in the palace, he will be exposed sooner or later." Adrian Desmond said.

"I know."

Everyone in the palace was familiar with each other, Night Owl might be able to hide for a while, but given enough time, he’d surely be exposed.

"What do you plan to do with Gulit?"

"My Queen Mother likes her." Kiya replied.

"And then?"

"Naturally keep her, to be a good daughter-in-law for my Queen Mother."

Paige Desmond’s suggestion, although Kiya found it imprudent upon reflection, was feasible.

As long as Gulit remained peaceful, he wouldn’t mind letting Gulit’s unborn child become the Sultan of Abyanabad.

Even though, the child might not be his.

It’s because his son didn’t want to be a prince, his Princess Consort didn’t want to live in the Imperial Palace.

Kiya absentmindedly chatted with Adrian Desmond for a bit, then went to find Paige.

Paige was packing her things, Kiya held a bouquet of roses, seeing Paige about to go out, he snatched the clothing from her hands and asked,

"Where are you going again?"

"Returning to Sileria City, to see my son."

"Can’t you bring Dylan back to Abyanabad?"

Due to Kiya’s status, he couldn’t easily visit Orienta.

"Dylan wants to stay in Orienta for New Year."

Seeing Kiya’s disappointed look, Paige said, "After Orienta’s Lantern Festival, I’ll bring Dylan back."

"Paige." Kiya, hearing Paige’s words, happily hugged her.

"Put me down quickly."

"I won’t."

Paige began to tug at Kiya’s small mustache, which hurt him, causing him to grimace as he put Paige down.

"Can’t you shave off this mustache?"

"Why?"

"I don’t like men with beards. You’re already much older than me, with the beard you look even older."

Kiya felt hurt, "A man being a little older, mature, is better than those young and immature lads."

Paige chuckled twice and said no more.

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

"So soon."

Paige returned to Abyanabad because of Kiya, once Kiya got swept up with retirement fever, naturally Paige would return to Orienta to be with her son.

"Since you’re leaving tomorrow, I’ll spend the night with you." Kiya took the chance to say.

Paige glanced at him without speaking.

"These roses are for you. Do you like them?"

"I like them, thank you."

Kiya, looking at Paige’s smile, though not dazzling, felt it enough to make him happy, "You don’t know, just a smile from you makes me so happy."
