Since he was such a high-society elite.
Surely, four hundred million wasn't asking too much, right?
If he couldn't even scrounge up that much, what kind of billionaire was he?
"Serena! Serena!"
Seeing her, Adrian's eyes instantly lit up with desperate hope.
He called out to her frantically, waving his hands.
If the oversight guards hadn't been blocking him, he would have thrown his pride away and crawled to her feet to beg.
She was so powerful now.
She could operate the only Sovereign-X Dragon in the country, and she had the absolute respect of Mr. Harrison, who treated her like a scientific oracle.
If... if she was willing to help him.
If she could just ask Mr. Harrison to intervene.
Wouldn't this four-hundred-million-dollar debt be wiped clean?
Then he wouldn't have to face the consequences?
"Serena, you have to save me!" he screamed, his voice cracking with desperation.
Lydia glanced over. "Captain, he's begging you."
Serena lazily lifted her gaze, giving Adrian a passing glance.
She didn't say a word.
Her sheer indifference sent Adrian into a blind panic. "Serena, please, for the sake of what we used to have, help me!"
"You're close with Mr. Harrison! If you just say the word, if you just ask him to step in and explain things..."
"Help me! If you just help me, my family and I will be eternally grateful. I'll give you whatever you want!"
"I promise! I promise from now on I'll listen to you, I'll be your faithful servant. I won't even mind what you have going on with... with Nicholas! As long as you save me, I won't care about any of it..."
His pathetic groveling earned shocked stares from the surrounding competitors, all eyes shifting toward Serena.
Ever since Adrian had arrived on the island, he had put on the ultimate billionaire playboy act.
Every word out of his mouth had been dripping with arrogance.
