The next time they met would probably be as rivals.They went their separate ways after their little chat.***Lake Solunar was a beautiful place with breathtaking scenery, but Adrian was still sitting in his office. Mya could no longer hold it and asked, "Will you please come out and get some fresh air? You've been cooped up in here for a few days now. There are a lot of people hanging around Lake Solunar tonight. I'm sure it'll be fun."But Adrian had no time to take a leisurely stroll, not when his entire focus was on the selection. He refused and said, "You go ahead. I want to stay here and go through these answer sheets. Oh, could you make me a cup of coffee before leaving please?""Fine, whatever! You've never seen what Lake Solunar looks like at night, have you? We've been in Songton for so many days, and I was thinking of taking you outside for a break…" Mya said helplessly while brewing a cup of coffee."We'll have all the time in the world for stargazing once the new le
Kieran seemed to be in a maddened frenzy.Victor snorted. "You f*cking piece of sh*t. How dare you hit me.""I'm going to kill you, you b*stard!" Blinded by rage, Kieran pushed the two men trying to hold him back before charging at Victor once more. His fist went for Victor's head, but Adrian managed to catch it before the blow connected.Adrian lifted Kieran off the ground and asked, "Do you have any idea what you're doing right now?"Kieran looked at him and cried, "Please let me do it, sir. I'm going to fight him to the death. That b*stard's a tumor that should be eradicated from this world. It'd be an insult to Novemton and the world if someone like him gets chosen to join Wyvern Peak!" Judging by Kieran’s outburst, the two seemed to have a deep grudge.Adrian released him and said, "Mya, take them to headquarters. I'll talk to them individually."He then left while Mya frowned and said, "Well done, you two. You're probably going to get disqualified after putting up such
Adrian arrived in the other room, where Kieran, swollen in the face, was sobbing. He looked pitiful and failed to notice Adrian walking in. "Ahem!"Mya cleared her throat, startling Kieran. He hastily got up when he saw who it was and said, "Sir. Ms. Mya.” Mya sounded a little frustrated as she asked, "Why are you crying like a baby? Do you think you’ll become the legate of Wyvern Peak with that attitude?"Kieran wiped his tears. "I never once thought of becoming the legate. I came here to fulfill my brother's dream of working here. He always thought of Wyvern Peak as a sacred place where heroes are born.""Is that so?" Adrian asked. Kieran said nothing in reply. His eyes were reddened and his face swollen. "You say you're here to fulfill your brother's dream. Is that why you're in the selection?" Adrian asked.Still sobbing, Kieran replied, "My brother always dreamed of this. He would watch the news about Wyvern Peak and desperately wanted to stand at the frontlines as a s
It was common for couples to not work out due to objections from their families. However, Victor’s family had definitely gone overboard if this all proved to be true. If his parents were indeed such people, Wyvern Peak would definitely need to reconsider whether Victor was worthy of joining them."You swear that everything you've told me is nothing but the truth?" Adrian asked. "I swear, sir. My brother will never be able to use his leg again. He can't even find a wife because of his handicap. Victor and his family are at fault that my brother has to live like this. I wouldn’t have taken offense if they had just forced him into leaving Anna, but they broke his leg!""Did you take them to court?" Adrian asked. Kieran took a deep breath. "Yes, we did. But our local authorities couldn’t handle the case, so it was directed to Southrive's Internal Affairs. Victor's family was in cahoots with Internal Affairs at the time, and my parents lost hope of winning. To make matters worse, Vict
Adrian looked calm when he heard all this, but under his facade was extreme rage. There were many in the world who would twist the laws to cover up their misdeeds. Victor and his parents had clearly committed a heinous crime, yet they managed to gain the upper hand and bully the weak. Victor would be ineligible to participate in the selection because of this, but he was still there. So the question now was, how did he get in?"Something’s wrong. Victor should never have gained admission to Southrive University. Who sent him to the selection venue?" Adrian asked."I did a quick check and found that it was Wayne Tolken from Southrive's Battle Warrior Department who brought him here. Wayne used to work for Chase, and it's possible that Crystal missed out on this fact before hiring him. I smell something fishy about him.""I see." Adrian looked up and continued, "Have Wayne here by five in the afternoon tomorrow. I'll interrogate him myself. To have insulted the selection, he's playin
Still yelling at the top of her lungs, Reena continued, "We'll sue War Legate Draco in the courts of Novemton if he doesn't give us an explanation this instant! We've got all the money to hire the best lawyers! I'll pay whatever amount necessary!" To Reena, everything could be solved with money. They managed to get people to break Connie's leg without having to get personally involved by lining the appropriate pockets. And through using money, they also managed to sure Connie's parents for seventy thousand dollars.Neither Reena nor Wesley seemed to care about War Legate Draco's authority. They thought they would be able to force him to step down from his position if they paid off the media and started rumors on the Internet. At that moment, Mya walked out and said, "War Legate Draco has summoned all of you. Follow me." Reena and Wesley hastily followed Mya inside, while Anna helplessly trailed after them.***Adrian, sitting in his office, suddenly heard someone yelling, "War
When Reena tried to switch topics, Mya called her out and embarrassed her. Instantly, she said, "War Legate Draco, we're here to discuss about my son being beaten up, not who my daughter knows or doesn't know. I know this is Wyvern Peak's territory, but you won’t protect the assailant, will you?"She tried to pressure Adrian into playing to her tune for the sake of her son, who was her everything. Wesley added, "Sir, Wyvern Peak should be held responsible for my son being beaten up. According to the rules, we deserve an explanation for the matter."The couple were using Wyvern Peak's rules to keep Adrian in check. However, they had no idea that their actions made them even more laughable. "You two should—" Mya went up to stop the rude couple from speaking any further, but Adrian raised his hand to stop her. He turned toward Reena and asked, "Tell me, Mdm. Reena, what sort of resolution are you expecting from Wyvern Peak over this matter?""I’ve already told you, I want the ass
Smack!Mya gave Reena a slap the moment the latter spoke. Reena was left dumbfounded, and the same went for Wesley. "I'm only going to say this one more time, so stop testing my patience. Shut your mouth until War Legate Draco speaks to you.” Mya sounded chillingly cold when she spoke.Reena started crying out, "She hit me! Wyvern Peak is a bunch of bullies who lay their hands on old and harmless citizens! Somebody, help me! Help me! They're going to kill me!" She sat on the floor and yelled at the top of her lungs, intending to attract a crowd. Mya said upon realizing what Reena was up to, "No one will come no matter how loud you scream. The most powerful person in Novemton is standing right here. It’s within our rights to execute you for simply disobeying our orders. Don't say I didn't warn you."Reena trembled when she heard this menacing warning. Everyone here worked for Wyvern Peak, so it was impossible for anyone to come to her aid no matter how much she yelled. Fear gripp
