The Return of the War Legate Chapter 238
One arm?Everyone was stupefied.Hydra inhaled sharply and said as he stared at Adrian, “You’re quite the talker, Draco. I’d like to see how you’re going to fight me, a war legate, with just one arm.”Adrian smiled.“Step back, Riley,” he said.Riley acknowledged with an “ah” and quickly went to stand behind him.At this very moment, Adrian started exuding an overbearingness that made any ordinary person fear him.The fight was about to break out in the boardroom at any moment.Hydra let out an angry grunt before he threw a punch at Adrian as if he could not bear to be insulted. His fist was known for breaking boulders in Luposia and his moniker of Hydra was well-known across the country. In fact, he was Luposia’s pride and glory.The pride of Luposia, War Legate Hydra, launched a ferocious attack at Navia’s War Legate Draco.However, a thud followed by a muffled groan was heard before everyone could ascertain what had happened. Then, Hydra, who was charging toward Adrian ear

Adrian inhaled a deep breath and shut his eyes upon hearing Leonard’s answer.Riley shut her eyes as well.Adrian said, “Leonard, we have the same blood coursing through our veins. I thought that despite your awful personality, you’d never put Sam in harm’s way.“Looks like I was sorely mistaken. You attempted to kill your niece-in-law. That shows how malicious your heart is.”Adrian was deeply disappointed.Leonard instantly got on his knees upon hearing Adrian’s remark. He slapped himself over and over and said through his tears, “I’m the one in the wrong, Adrian. I’m shameless. I’m an animal.“I’ve disappointed Henry, and you even more, Adrian. But please give me a chance to change for the better. I'm begging you.“I’m begging you, Adrian.”Leonard began to bow repeatedly.Adrian thundered, “Stop him, Daniel!”Daniel nodded. He walked over and lifted Leonard to his feet as he said angrily, “Leonard, you shouldn’t be bowing to a junior member of your family no matter how mu

Riley was stunned.She felt as if she was in the middle of the world’s biggest joke.If Leonard and Wilfred had found out that Adrian was War Legate Draco from the start, they would most certainly have worshiped him like he was a god.However, they were utterly unaware of this fact, and hence, missed the best person that could have been a part of their lives.Was that not ridiculous?Riley smiled bitterly, shook her head, and walked out of the meeting room.***The same morning, Swallowston’s Paraiso was shut down by the Battle Warrior Department.Then, word spread across the whole of Swallowston.Jaden from Southrive’s River family had joined forces with Luposians and endangered Southrive. The Battle Warrior Department had already dealt with them. Luposia’s War Legate Hydra was killed by War Legate Draco in Paraiso’s office building.Soon after, Southrive’s Battle Warrior Department set out to detain the Rivers and they were subjected to legal treatment.Leonard and Wilfred

Harold did not speak but he nodded.“You knew huh?” Riley huffed.Harold nodded again.Riley inhaled a deep breath and said, “Grandfather, Sam is your granddaughter-in-law. You can scold her, but how could you bring yourself to have her killed?”Harold did not know how to answer her. He was utterly incapable of answering this question.Riley inhaled a deep breath and wiped her tears as she exclaimed, “Adrian is War Legate Draco!”The Xanders’ heads whipped up upon hearing this, including Harold.“What did you say, Riley?” Cecelia asked in astonishment.“Adrian is War Legate Draco. It was he who saved the hostages from the hotel the other day. It was also he who killed Luposia’s War Legate Hydra today.“You’ve made a horrible mistake, Grandfather. All of you did!”Cecilia’s jaw dropped.Faye’s mouth hung wide open, and so did Cedric’s and Jacob’s.Harold looked at Riley in a daze and said, “Repeat that, Riley… Did you say that Adrian is War Legate Draco? H-How is that possib

Harold made the decision to return to the old family home in Pane so they could live a normal life as Riley had requested.Riley lingered in Xander Manor for a long time before leaving.Meanwhile, Samantha was at home, laying in bed. She could barely sleep because Adrian had yet to come home since he left this morning, and she could not reach him by phone either.The Xanders were in trouble and the Battle Warrior Department had shut down Paraiso. Everything had happened too quickly.Samantha’s head was a chaotic mess. She had dark circles under her eyes when she woke up the next day.“Hasn’t Adrian come home, Sam?”Rue asked when Samantha got up for breakfast in the morning.Samantha shook her head and took a seat. “I don’t know where he is and he isn’t picking up his phone. It’s possible that he’s busy.”Rue took a seat and let out a sigh. “Your uncles-in-law were sent to prison and the Xanders are in trouble. There’s no telling what Paraiso's situation is now.“Where do you

Riley took over Leonard’s position to consolidate the Xander Group and became the topic of conversation for many businessmen in Swallowston.Samantha and Riley were busy handling the companies’ matters the entire day.At noon, Rue was tending to the laundry. Suddenly, someone walked into the front yard.Rue quickly spotted the man when she carried the laundry out to the yard to dry.“Father!” Rue dropped the laundry basket and hurried to his side.The person standing there was Harold.Rue made her way to him and said, “What brings you here, Father? Come. Come inside.”“No, no. I will not be going in.” Harold took a few steps back, his expression filled with embarrassment.He felt extremely remorseful and guilty toward Rue and was too ashamed to step foot into her home.Rue removed her apron and said, “Father, was it something that brought you here?”Rue felt as if Harold had changed. He appeared to have aged substantially and all his hair had turned gray.Harold nodded. He h

Rue stood frozen to the spot as she watched Harold walking away.She only recovered from her surprise when Harold’s departing silhouette vanished completely.She went back into the house and sat on the sofa. Her mind was filled with the things Harold had told her.Adrian was the war legate—the world-renowned “War Legate Draco!”Rue had never imagined this to be true. She had always assumed that her son was just an ordinary person, but in reality, his achievements had surpassed his father’s by a few fold.War Legate Draco!The moniker was a myth and a legend throughout all of Navia.Yet, Rue had now found out that this myth, this legend, was her son.She was astonished and had trouble making sense of all this. She could not calm down and did nothing all morning but sat on the sofa in quiet contemplation. She even forgot to feed herself.Adrian returned at noon.“I’m home, Mother. Is lunch ready?” Adrian asked as soon as he entered the house.However, he discovered that Rue wa

“She does.”“Good.”Rue nodded heavily. She behaved as if she was a different person at this very moment.Rue stood up and took hold of Adrian’s hand. “Also, don’t let anybody else find out about this. You have so many enemies out there. If others were to know, they would certainly figure out a way to assassinate you like the Luposians attempted to do.“Also, always remember that you’re the legate and that you carry the heavy responsibility of protecting our country, my son. Always take good care of your health so that you can perform more meritorious services to Navia!”Adrian nodded in agreement.Rue chuckled and teared up a little. “When you were a child, your father used to worry about what you’ll do when you’re older. If your father was still here and learned that you’re the legate, he would’ve been over the moon.“Henry, Henry, you see this? Our son has made something of himself.”With trembling footsteps, Rue made her way to Henry’s photo and said with a face full of tea
