The Return of the War Legate Chapter 224
Upon hearing Adrian’s remark, Harold sordidly stared at Henry’s lonely-looking headstone.Even though there was bad blood between Harold and Adrian, and though he despised Rue, it was still his son buried in this grave.Ever since Henry was buried here, Harold had barely come to visit. He suddenly felt a tug of pain in his heart when he learned about the incident that had taken place in Dream City tonight.He had always assumed that his son died from an illness, but he suddenly learned that someone had murdered his son.Harold had been very fond of Henry because Henry established Paraiso all by himself and built a strong foundation for the Xander’s influence. In fact, Henry had also helped him to establish the Xander Group which was ranked among the top most powerful enterprises.Harold vaguely remembered how he had cried hysterically when he learned about Henry’s illness.Afterward, Leonard and Wilfred came to see him about Henry’s inheritance.Leonard and Wilfred felt that Adr

Harold suddenly realized that this young grandson of his was now a fully grown man.“I’ve already lost your father. I didn’t want to lose my other two sons,” Harold answered in a trembling voice.Adrian found Harold’s remark amusing. He got on his knees and pulled out the weeds that were growing around Henry’s grave. “You used my mother, my sister, and seven years of my life to exchange for a luxurious life for Leonard and Wilfred’s families.“Harold, you did well. You did very well indeed.”“W-Will you forgive me?” Harold asked, “Adrian, Cedric, and Jacob are already injured from you beating them up. I admit that I shouldn’t have done what I did, but I only did it for your two uncles.“Can we go back to the way we were before?” Harold pleaded.“I always thought that your father died from an illness. I only learned today that someone caused his death. If I had known, I would’ve looked into it. Rue didn’t tell me about any of this.”Harold was still trying to defend himself.He

Leonard and Wilfred were planning something that would affect their future.***Leonard and Wilfred immediately went looking for Harold when the latter returned the next day.Leonard asked, “Where did you go, Father? You were out all night.”Wilfred continued, “Yeah, we were worried sick.”Harold was in a foul mood.His third son’s killer had gotten off scot-free over the past seven years despite everything he had done, causing Harold, the father, to be struck with a heavy blow.“Am I supposed to report my whereabouts to you?” Harold said, sounding extremely displeased.After that, he continued and said, “I went to visit Henry’s grave. How did neither of you realize that someone had gotten him killed? And you two call yourselves his brothers?“Have you no shame?”Leonard and Wilfred were overcome with shame.Leonard then said, “How could we have known, Father? Rue was the one who chose not to tell us when she clearly knew the truth.“We swear Richie wouldn’t have gotten awa

“Agreed!”***Something very strange happened in Swallowston over the next two days.Harold called for a board meeting at the Xander Group. He announced his retirement and that Leonard, his eldest son, would become the next director, while Wilfred would handle all matters related to Paraiso.The board of directors objected to Harold’s decision, but that was when something strange happened.Jaden from the River family pumped in another seven million and three hundred thousand dollars into the Xander Group, buying out the majority of the shares and kicking out almost everyone on the board.Shortly after, Jaden came to hold forty-nine percent share within just two days, owning only two percent less than Leonard.A lot of people unrelated to the company were shocked when they heard this, believing that the Xander Group would be taken over by the River Group very soon.Two days later, as Samantha and Adrian were having breakfast, Samantha learned about what was happening at the Xand

Adrian left home after that.Samantha was originally planning on stopping him but decided against it in the end.‘Ever since he came home, he seems very confident in himself every time he says he’s going to do something…’***Meanwhile, Riley happened to run into Adrian, the latter having just left the neighborhood.She stopped her car and rolled down her window. “Where are you going, Adrian?”Seeing Riley, Adrian walked toward her car and said, “I’m just about to head over to Paraiso. What are you doing here?”“I was just about to go looking for you.”Adrian gestured and Riley nodded before they left the neighborhood together.Inside the car, Riley said as she drove, “Do you know that both Paraiso and the Xander Group have been handed over to my father and Uncle Wilfred?”Adrian nodded his head. “I do.”Riley continued, “Jaden has booted all of the company’s investors, turning himself into the second largest investor. You know what he’s aiming for, don’t you?”Jaden wanted

“Sigh…” Jack heaved a sigh and shook his head helplessly.A few employees walked over to Jack’s side, surrounding Riley.“What’s going on, Ms. Riley? We’ve worked here for so many years. I’m sure our work ethics are unquestionable.”“Yet, something’s wrong with Leonard today! He fired all of us!”“We’re going to have to look for new jobs.”A few employees began complaining to Riley, who could only heave a sigh as she turned to look at Adrian.“Aren’t you Henry’s son?” Jack hurriedly said when he recognized Adrian.“Let me introduce you, Adrian. This is Jack Creek, a senior employee of Paraiso. He’s been working here since he was in his twenties, and that was twenty years ago. He was really close to your father too,” Riley said.“Hello, Uncle Jack.” Adrian stretched out his hand toward Jack.After Jack shook Adrian’s hand, he said, “Paraiso’s been on a really steep downhill trend. I can’t even remember when was the last time it was as glorious as it was back when Mr. Henry was

After a brief moment, the employee, with Jack in the lead, suddenly surrounded Adrian in excitement.“I’m willing to join New Paraiso, Adrian. Let’s restore Paraiso’s former glory together!”“Me too, Adrian!”“I’d like to go too if you don’t mind.”Everyone began to voice their decision.They had a dream, and Paraiso was it.Many of them believed that a day would come when Paraiso would be restored to its former glory, and this turning point seemed to have arrived.After all, Adrian, Henry’s son, had returned.“What should we do, Adrian? How can we help?” Jack spoke up when he saw so many of them agreeing to join New Paraiso.Riley was touched when she saw this scene.‘Henry may be dead, but he left so much behind. These people are fiercely loyal to him, making them a part of his legacy.’Adrian said, “I need you to take everyone to New Paraiso and report in for duty, Uncle Jack. Samantha, my wife, will arrange jobs for you all. If we work together, I promise you it won’t be

“You’re not welcomed here, Adrian,” Leonard and Wilfred said.Ignoring them, Adrian pulled out a chair and sat down, while Riley stood quietly by his side.After sitting down, Adrian picked up a copy of the documents before him and looked through them. ‘These must be Paraiso’s latest operation plans.’Seeing this, Wilfred and Leonard exchanged looks, confused as to what Adrian was planning to do.Meanwhile, Jaden rested against his chair and was all smiles. He was actually curious about what Adrian planned to do.At that moment, Leonard asked, “Why have you brought him here, Riley? Get him out of here this instant!”Riley replied, “You’ve become the most powerful shareholder ever since you obtained all of Paraiso’s shares from Grandfather. Do you still not see what’s happening here?”“What are you trying to say, Riley?” Leonard asked in a furious tone.Riley chose to remain silent, knowing that Leonard would not listen to a word she said at that moment. After all, both Wilfred
