Chapter 1294 - 1234: Driving Out the Night Owl

Adrian Desmond looked at the injured Sabrina Conner. Although he was dissatisfied with him, considering his loyalty, he did not scold him too harshly.

"You go to meet the Night Owl at Senorom Pier now," Adrian ordered.

"Yes, Sixth Master."

Adrian looked at Sabrina, uneasy, and detailed his instructions, "When you see the Night Owl, if they ask why you didn’t bring Sienna Johnson over, what will you say?"

Sabrina hesitated for a moment, "Sixth Master, what should I say?" Sabrina thought it best not to make decisions himself and to listen to Adrian.

Adrian frowned and instructed, "You were ambushed by my men, faked your death, and Sienna Johnson was taken by me. You returned alone.

Understood?"

Sabrina thought it over and asked, "Sixth Master, what if there’s still one of Night Owl’s men with Madam? Won’t a single call from Night Owl expose me?"

"Last night’s situation, Night Owl escaped from the Imperial Palace in confusion. If there was a confidant by Sienna’s side, they would have just taken her to the pier. Why send you and Beryllium?"

Sabrina realized this made sense, "Sixth Master, you’re right."

"Night Owl suffered significant losses this time and only has a dozen men. If you sense something wrong, escape immediately."

"Understood, I’ve got it," Sabrina agreed to everything.

Adrian looked at Sabrina’s injuries, thinking that looking like he’d been beaten so badly would not arouse suspicion. Sabrina indeed appeared to have barely escaped with his life.

"Beryllium, speaks very little. Do you know what speaking little means?" Adrian firmly patted Sabrina’s shoulder.

Looking at Sabrina, Adrian decided it was better to explain more thoroughly.

"Beryllium answers your questions in one word if one will suffice. You should adhere to this principle when speaking. Understood?"

Adrian suspected it was Sabrina’s verbosity that aroused suspicion from Silicone, and he solemnly reminded Sabrina, "We know far too little about Beryllium’s affairs, so you must speak less, do not slip up. Understood?"

"..."

"The more you speak, the more mistakes you make. Speak less, and you make fewer mistakes. Speak less!"

Adrian emphasized this several times, and Sabrina, usually rebellious, was surprisingly obedient this time.

"Go."

"Yes."

"Wait..." Adrian suddenly thought of something else and called him back, "If you don’t get important information, don’t contact me. Night Owl is very cautious and cunning. I’m afraid they’ll find out about you."

"Yes."

"When you are with the Night Owl, you are Beryllium. Don’t consider yourself Sabrina anymore, got it?"

"I’ve memorized it all, Sixth Master."

Adrian waved his hand, letting Sabrina leave.

On the ground lay the body of Silicone, who must have known he wouldn’t survive once in Adrian’s hands, and so took his own life.

The hard-earned clue was lost once again, and Adrian was deeply frustrated.

Brandon Potter walked over and asked, "Sixth Master, should we return?"

Adrian said to Marion, "Dispose of Silicone’s body first!"

"Yes, Sixth Master."

Marion and another person carried away the body of Silicone, dug a pit nearby, and buried it.

Adrian watched the surrounding scenery, a highway stretched straight ahead. On this path, Sienna Johnson was somewhere on the road ahead, leaving Adrian both excited and helpless.

Brandon, seeing Adrian looking so melancholy, offered comfort, "Sixth Master, we will find Madam for sure."

At this time, Tatu called Adrian and informed him that Kiya had stabilized the situation. Two hours later, there would be a press conference to inform the media about what happened during the disappearance and denounce Night Owl, even issuing an Arrest Warrant!

Kiya had stabilized the situation, driving Night Owl from the Imperial Palace. The remaining matters were for Kiya to handle, leaving Adrian without concern.

His only concern now was where Sienna Johnson was at this moment.

"Tatu, mobilize all the manpower. I want a thorough search of Abyanabad everywhere!" Adrian ordered.

Sienna Johnson had to be in Abyanabad, but although the specific location was unknown, at least the area was limited.

Adrian vowed to find her, even if he had to dig three feet deep.

"Yes, Sixth Master."

...

In the Abyanabad Imperial Palace,

Before the press conference, Kiya specifically went to see the Queen Mother. Night Owl, resenting the Queen Mother’s meddling in political affairs, had broken her leg and confined her.

Knowing the Queen Mother’s situation made Kiya’s heart heavy.

The Queen Mother, born into a prestigious family in Abyanabad, later married Kiya’s father. She enjoyed a lifetime of glory and prestige, never once experiencing such destitution.

The Queen Mother’s palace was especially desolate. Initially, there were some of Night Owl’s people monitoring her, but they had all left now.

Kiya walked inside, where an elderly woman lay on a luxurious large bed.

"Queen Mother!" Kiya moved to the Queen Mother’s bedside, calling softly.

The Queen Mother lay there, one side of her body already paralyzed, unable to move. Her once voluptuous body had withered, eyes sunken and murky, lacking the sharpness they once had.

"Kiya?" The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, exclaiming when she saw Kiya.

"..."

"Am I dreaming again?"

She moved her fingers, seeming to want to reach out and touch the man in front of her to see if he was real, but she didn’t even have the strength to raise her hand.

"Queen Mother, it’s me. I’m back." Kiya held his mother’s hand, finding it gaunt and skeletal, squeezing his heart painfully.

"Kiya, is it really you?"

"It’s me, Queen Mother, I’ve returned."

Despite the Queen Mother’s many faults, she was still his mother, and Kiya still had feelings for her.

"...you didn’t die?" The Queen Mother could not believe her eyes, her son was really in front of her, alive, not the mangled, blood-stained corpse.

"I didn’t die, it was my stand-in who did. Queen Mother, I’m alive, I’ve come back to see you."

The Queen Mother burst into tears, "Allah be praised, Allah be praised..."

The Queen Mother was in a complicated mood, crying for her son and herself, never having been in such destitution in her life.

If her son hadn’t come back, she would have died there.

"Kiya, that cousin of Gulit wants to torture me to death... He drove away those serving me, I can’t even get a drink of water..."

Kiya consoled her, "Queen Mother, I’ve already driven him out of the palace. Rest assured, no one will bully you again."

"No, you can’t let him off so easily. He should go to prison and never come out!"
