A thought seemed to cross his mind, his gaze darkening slightly, though his tone shifted to sound incredibly generous. "As for that Blackwood Crown Prince... I can let it slide."
"As long as you behave from now on, I'm willing to accept you again."
His entire speech was dripping with an absurd level of self-assurance.
It was so ridiculous that a mocking sneer surfaced in Serena's eyes.
In fact, she actually laughed out loud.
Her cool, indifferent eyes looked at Adrian as if she were staring at a certified lunatic.
Lydia and the rest of the team felt like their eyes were about to pop out of their skulls.
They had seen delusional narcissists before, but never one of this catastrophic magnitude.
Was there something clinically wrong with his brain?
Unable to hold back, Lydia let out a loud, highly exaggerated gag.
She slammed her hands on the table, shooting up to her feet and pointing directly at Adrian. "Listen here, mister, are you out of your mind? Who the hell loves you? Have you looked in a mirror recently?"
"You're ugly as sin, but your delusions are beautiful."
Vanessa stood up right beside her. "Exactly! Why would our Captain ever need your protection? Is your head entirely full of crap? Did you forget to pack your brain when you left the house today?"
"What do you mean 'pathetic dorms' and 'garbage lab'? Are you blind?"
"And you think you can even compare to Nicholas? You're not even fit to shine his shoes! Where do you get the nerve to play the savior here?"
They unleashed a relentless barrage of insults without pausing for a single breath.
The two of them bounced off each other effortlessly, trading lethal, blood-drawing blows without even having to curse.
The verbal assault was explosive!
Adrian's face instantly turned pitch black, the veins on his forehead throbbing violently.
He curled the hands resting on the table into tight fists, glaring at Lydia and Vanessa with murderous intent. He ground his teeth together. "You..."
You filthy, uneducated hicks!
"Mr. Cole."
Caleb pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and immediately stood, placing himself squarely in front of Lydia.
