Chapter 10: Escape
The Blake family was also one of the twelve great families. They were one of the three great families that occupied the southern region of the floating cloud continent alongside the Thornes and Vyre.
They conducted regular trade with the Thorne family, and both sides were on relatively good terms. The biggest reason was that his fiancée was a member of the Blake family.
Adrian believed that as long as he could obtain the help of the Blake family alongside the sage's inheritance, it would only be a matter of time before he would be able to rebuild the Thorne family.
This thought finally relieved him of his burdens, and he was finally able to get some sleep while still sitting in the chair.
However, reality would prove to be far crueler than he imagined, as he wouldn't expect the next turn of events.
After waking up early as usual, Adrian did some light cultivation to prepare himself for the day as it was going to be a long one. He knew that they had to leave the city today. The residents were starting to suspect something was up as they hadn't seen the people from the Thorne family since the previous day.
Even though they could see evidence of activity within the residence, no one had come out. The black robes men were becoming increasingly disruptive and were causing problems within the city.
However, after thinking that no one could take action without the approval of the Thorne family, the residents decided to hold it in until they could complain to the Thorne family.
In the house of Thorne, the people from the demonic faction were becoming increasingly restless. They had already been here for more than a day without anything to show for it. Despite their seemingly foolproof assault plan, they knew that they were walking on thin ice.
