"Why are you here?" Adam asked while observing Abel's expression.
"Just visiting," Abel said impassively. He did not show any emotion on his face either.
Adam thought he was not here to investigate the matter about Alana.
"Hmph," he grunted softly. As much as he resented Abel for injuring him at his birthday party, he had to admit none
of that would have happened if he did not attempt to drug Abel.
Abel put the gifts on the table and sat down on the chair.
"I'm also here to apologize for accidentally injuring you. I couldn't control myself at your party," he said.
"You must have done that on purpose, didn't you?" Adam narrowed his gaze. "Didn't you recognize your own
cousin?"
Abel smirked. "I could ask the same of you. Why did you invite people who would drug me on that occasion?"
"You can't blame me if every woman wants to get in your pants," Adam said. "You should've gotten used to it by

regardless of whether you're married or not. You should know that I have a nest of those women myself, don't you?
I find them very troublesome."
"Why did you invite them to the party if you find them troublesome? You're only troubling yourself," Abel said.
"It's my birthday party. What's a birthday party without women?" Adam said and rolled his eyes. "If it's all men, we'd
just be staring at each other!"
"…"
He realized he could not win an argument against Adam.
"Don't dwell on it too much. You nearly killed the woman too, didn't you?" Adam said, trying to end the topic.
Abel thought for a while and realized it was the case.
He tossed the woman when she clung to him. She seemed to be seriously injured too.
"I've already compensated her," Adam said annoyedly. "You don't have to worry about it."
"No. I injured her, so I should be responsible. Give me the bill, and I'll transfer the money to you, including yours,"
Abel did not want to owe Adam a favor.
"Never mind," Adam waved his hand dismissively. "It's all pocket change to me anyway. Let's just consider this
settled."
Abel smiled. "You're pretty generous this time, Adam."
Why can't I be generous? If I dwell on the topic too much, you might find out something!
"I don't want to nag you, but why did you have to be so violent toward her? You could've enjoyed the ride," Adam
said.
"Heh, I'm not like you, Adam. I already have Emmeline, and I don't want another woman to touch me," Abel said
with a smile.
Adam was silent.
If he had Emmeline, he would do the same as Abel.

Adam seemed displeased.
What's so great about having a loving wife anyway?
Suddenly, Abel reached toward his face.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Adam was surprised. He slapped Abel's hand away.
"Your beard… looks strange," Abel said while looking intently at Adam's face.
Adam covered his chin with his hand. "I slept on it earlier. Don't tease me."
"You should get it groomed. It looks very thick," Abel said.
"That's none of your business. Alright, I want to nap for a bit. You should go now," Adam said.
"By the way, Adam," Abel abruptly said, "Do you know Anthony Green?"
Adam was surprised. "Yes, I do?"
Abel was equally surprised. It can't be that easy to find a lead on the owner of the Imperial Palace, right?
"Do you really know Anthony Green?"
