When Abel saw that Adrien was calling him, he answered the call right away.

"Adrien!"

"Abel, don't come to the hospital. The police are everywhere and they are investigating it," said Adrien weakly.

"How are you, Adrien?"

"I'm fine. I just told the police that I was a guest there. But you're different. You can't show your face here."

"Yes, I know. Thanks, Adrien."

Abel was planning to head to the hospital to extract the bullet from his shoulder. It seemed like that was no longer an option. After the call with Abel, Adrien then called Adam.

"Adrien? Where are you? What's going on?"

"Beat me to it, Adam. There was a gunfight. The police are arresting the suspects. Are you safe?"

"The gunfight had nothing to do with me. It was the Palace Lord's doing. And I'm a lawful citizen," lied Adam.

"Good. You should stay away from the Palace Lord. In case you are thrown under the bus," warned Adrien.


"Don't worry. I don't deal with him. Besides, I only went to him to ask for a small favor. I do not plan to work with him in the future."
When Abel saw that Adrien was calling him, he answered the call right away.





















"Good, good. I have to hang up now. The doctor will put me under to take the bullet out," Adrien stated.

"You were shot, Adrien?" Adam was surprised to hear that.

"Yeah, on my right chest. Fortunately, my vitals are unaffected."

"What the... Who shot you? I'm going to kill whoever shot you."

"Bullets have no eyes, Adam. Emma is safe, at least."

"Yeah, but Abel saved her. Not you," Adam grumbled.

"It's fine. I just want her to be safe. Besides, you got what you wanted, didn't you? Abel and Benjamin both lost hundreds of million dollars," said Adrien.
