Chapter 353: Temptation

Adam was taken aback. "Uh… what?"

"You heard me," Edwin replied with an extremely solemn look. "You're coming with me to the Tower of Daybreak."

Adam's lips twitched, wondering what had suddenly gotten into Edwin to say such things. He gulped hesitantly and said, "But, my lord, I can't confirm that at the moment."

"Why not?" Erwin asked with a slight frown. "Also, why haven't you already declared your acceptance into the Tower in the last two years?"

He paused for a moment before adding, "You do know that I was the one to have personally signed off on the recommendation letters sent to you, Edward, and Lisa, yes?"

Adam was stunned. This was news to him. "You signed them personally?"

Edwin nodded. "It was a given that you and Edward would be given preference when applying—"

He suddenly paused when he realized that his apprentice, Biden was looking at him strangely. Thus, he glared at the youth.
