His plan was, of course, to eliminate Luposia. This was an objective he had set for himself when he became the legate. Everyone in Novemton was affected by Jerome's motivation, with several teams getting ready for an event that would shake the world. It was not long before this plan came into effect. ***Adrian, Mya, and Jenny arrived at Knoxville that afternoon and decided to grab something to eat. Knoxville was not a large place, but it had a market with traders selling all kinds of rocks purchased by people who needed them. As such was Strider Village’s livelihood. These traders were mostly old men who stored and transported their products in tattered trishaws, waiting for buyers to come by. There were a few clean-looking buyers looking through the rocks, asking for prices and inspecting the quality of their selected rocks. Most tradesmen had samples on display for their buyers to choose from. Whenever there was a demand, they would return to the village and instruct their me

"Little monster?" Adrian was taken aback by the nickname the locals gave Strider. "What's your name, sir? Why do you call Strider a monster? Is that what you and the other locals call him?"The old man sighed. "My name's Flint Gray. Strider's a pain, a monster. He caused his grandfather's and adoptive parents’ deaths. I hear he's about to get his grandmother killed too."Adrian frowned. Strider was an immortal living in the suburbs, where the locals were poorly educated. It was not much of a surprise for simple-minded people to think of Strider as a monster.Mya whispered, "They're not as open-minded since they’re not highly educated.""Why is Strider called a monster, Mr. Flint?" Adrian asked again.Flint sighed as he lit another cigarette. After taking a puff, he said, "Strider’s grandfather found him among a pack of wolves, who then became very sick after. The man’s son and daughter-in-law too died in the mountains later on.“Strider can jump up to a hundred meters and destroy

As Strider got older, the number of strange incidents surrounding him grew as well. At first, he was like any other human, but the villagers soon noticed that he could leap to the tops of mountains and crush boulders. He was also often spotted radiating with a faint light.All of this caused the villagers to feel frightened and spread rumors that Strider was the she-wolf's offspring that took on a human form to seek vengeance on the villagers. Thus, no one dared to get close to him.After Strider's grandfather passed, his adoptive parents met their demise too, further solidifying the villagers' assumption that Strider was a wolf on a revenge spree.***Adrian was silent after hearing Flint's story. It was indeed easy for the uneducated to think of Strider as a monster after those series of events. Yet, this only made Adrian more interested in Strider."Adrian, as interesting as Flint's story is, there's no way Strider's a wolf's offspring. Someone must’ve deliberately placed him i

Adrian believed this was all a conspiracy the moment immortals came into play. However, he knew nothing more about the matter, and his only choice was to start his investigation at the time of their births.***The trio approached Strider Mountain at four in the afternoon. They could see the village of fifty families from afar. Their houses were all built out of stones, reminiscent of the old times."That's Strider Village," Mya said.Adrian nodded in response.They soon arrived at the village. After parking their car at the village entrance, Mya got Adrian out of the car and placed him into his wheelchair before the trio strode in. Strider Village was mostly quiet, with a few elderly men sitting on the porches of their houses as children ran around. None of them noticed the trio's arrival. Mya pointed at a house on the village outskirts. "That's where Strider lives. Let's go." Strider's house was about six hundred meters away from the village. It could even be considered not

“Who are you and why are you here?" Anita asked in perfect Navillian. Adrian gazed at the beautiful, innocent-looking girl in tattered clothes. This indicated to him that her conditions were not great. Even her house did not have electricity. After a moment of silence, he said, “Hello, my name is Adrian Xander.”Adrian reached out her hand to shake her hand. However, it was customary for the local girls to not have any contact with any men who were not their husbands, especially unmarried women. Thus, Anita did not shake his hand and instead asked, "Who are you?"Adrian smiled. "I've come from Swallowston to see your brother, Strider Hicks. Here's my working license.” He behaved accordingly when he saw how cautious Anita was. "War Legate Draco? Wait, you're War Legate Draco?!" Anita asked in shock. Adrian nodded. "Yes, I am. I've come here for two reasons. The first is to meet your brother, and the other is to help you and your family overcome poverty.""Overcome poverty?" D

Anita hesitated for a moment but then nodded and let them in. Adrian revealed a heartfelt smile as Mya pushed him inside.The stone house only had one room. The living room, kitchen, and bedroom were a combined space of a little over fifty square meters. This was because much of the resources required to build a house were stone. It would take a person about a year to excavate enough rocks to build a single house. On top of that, rocks were precious to them so they could not bring themselves to build elaborate houses. Instead, they would sell off most of the rocks they could gather. Aside from a crude table made of wood, the house did not have much other furniture. There were three beds, one for each family member, but they were really small. There was a curtain made of banana leaves between Anita and Strider's beds, providing Anita the privacy she needed. Cooking was done outside and they had their meals while sitting on the floor as they did not own any chairs. A small mat made ou

Mya took out all of her snacks and spread them out on the banana leaf mat. Smiling, she said to Anita, "You've never had these before, have you? The girls in the city love them. Come try some."She opened up a bag of chips and handed it to Anita, who looked a little nervous as she took it. Still smiling, Mya said, "Try it. It's really tasty. Those are my favorite."Anita nodded and tried a piece. "Do you like it?" Mya asked.Anita nodded once more. "These are all for you. You could eat them every day from now on if you want. Would you like to go to the city and have your own room? Do you want to wear nice clothes and be in a relationship with a dashingly handsome man?" Anita nodded again. Mya stroked Anita's hair with a smile. "I promise to fulfill your every wish. In return, I need you to tell me and Adrian everything about Strider. For example, where is he right now?" While eating, Anita pointed to a mountain and said, "He goes up the mountains before the sun even rises

"Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!" Jenny panicked and ran over when she saw Adrian getting out of his wheelchair. Adrian took a deep breath, withstanding the pain in his legs. After flexing for a moment, he said, "I'm fine. I've been in that wheelchair for more than half a month now. It's time I get some exercise." "Y-You're infuriating! Why do you insist on moving around when you're still recovering?" Jenny scolded. Mya did not seem too surprised. After all, she was used to Adrian's personality after having followed him for so long. She even thought it would be odd for Adrian to sit still in the face of such a situation.Ignoring Jenny's words, Adrian said, "I'm leaving Anita in your care while Mya and I head to Strider Mountain. Wait for us here.""Do you want to lose your legs?" Jenny stomped her foot angrily. "My legs are fine, Jen. Come on, Mya. Let’s go." Adrian then strode out of the house. Mya gave Jenny a pat on the shoulder before following after him. ***
