The Return of the War Legate Chapter 242
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

The address was that of Swallowston’s top high school. Kendall’s hometown was in Pane County, but he was working as a teacher in Swallowston.‘Looks like Kendall isn’t doing so well in life.’Adrian reported to Samantha after obtaining Kendall’s address, who marked it down with the intention of looking for Kendall.He had planned to go with her but she had other plans for him. Instead, she asked Adrian to meet up with Riley to discuss Paraiso and the Xander Group.Now that Riley was in charge of the Xander Group, they could consider it having successfully prevented the company from falling into foreign hands.Of course, the Xander family would undergo massive changes now that Riley had taken over. Hence, Samantha prepared to collaborate with the Xanders, but this would be something that would be more reliable if she knew Adrian and Riley were working together.Hearing this, Adrian decided not to refuse her instructions and made an appointment with Riley to meet up that afternoo

She then continued, “The research team won’t pan out if Kendall refuses to join us. There are just some things we can’t work out.”Adrian asked, ‘What did Danton say?”Samantha replied, “He suggested we visit him again after a few days. There’s a chance he might know about something unspeakable about what happened that year.”‘Since Kendall was a very important person in the previous research team, it should only be logical that he knows very well what happened at the time.’At that thought, Adrian decided he should make a trip down there himself.***Swallowston was once again shrouded in darkness, with bright lights filling the streets, making the city really beautiful.Adrian drove Samantha’s car toward Swallowston High.When he arrived at the teacher’s accommodations late that night, he saw a middle-aged man squatting at the rear campus field with a cigarette in his mouth. There were many cigarette butts on the floor.This man was none other than Kendall Leaf.It was obvi

Kendall remained silent and went back to smoking his cigarette.Adrian accompanied him for a while before turning around to look at the room behind him. “Why don’t we go inside and sit down? You were my father’s best friend after all.”Kendall’s expression changed very slightly before he threw away his cigarette.“Come on then.”After that, he walked into his room and turned on the lights, with Adrian following behind him.Kendall’s room was not that big, but there was a lot of stuff inside, making it seem like the home of an old man. There were many picture frames on the wall, most likely awards earned by his students.Adrian even saw a portrait among them. It was of a young man in uniform with his back to the painting.The young man had a cape around his neck and a rifle in his hands, looking very majestic and courageous. Although it was just a painting, he looked like a ferocious tiger.He was standing at the mountaintop with countless corpses of his enemies piled up around

Adrian shook his head when he heard this. “Poor girl.”Kendall handed the cup of coffee to Adrian, who said, “All right, enough about her. Let’s talk about you instead. The research team was disbanded after my father died, and you’re under threat of being attacked right now.“Are you really just going to give up? After all, cancer tortures the lives of many.”Kendall remained silent for a while before he said, “That’s your father’s dream and has nothing to do with me.”“Are you sure it’s not your dream too? I refuse to believe you will willingly abandon it all,” Adrian said.Kendall trembled when he heard this, his eyes turning slightly red.Perhaps there were a lot of unspeakable things pent up inside his heart, or he had his reasons for not wanting to say anything.Kendall lit up another cigarette and said, “Do you know what it feels like to watch your colleague die in a lab as a deeply experienced cancer researcher?“It’s my fault that your father is dead, Adrian. I was the
