The Return of the War Legate Chapter 254
The underground research facility had just been built recently, courtesy of Samantha, Danton, and a few pharmaceutical groups.Samantha had the biggest investment in this organization and so was their leader.Since the research facility was beneath New Paraiso, it was tightly sealed. This was a safety feature that prevented any gasses within the facility from leaking out should an accident occur.At that moment, the new research team had already been formed, each one of them going through the documents retrieved from the abandoned nursing home.***Samantha, Danton, and the directors from a few pharmaceutical companies, wearing protective gear, were huddled together in the facility. The other members of the team were pouring through the documents Henry had left behind.In fact, they had already created a preliminary vaccine based on the recipe he left behind.At that moment, Samantha and the others were conducting an experiment on a lab rat. They injected the vaccine into the ra

However, Adrian was not going to play dumb this time.With a smile, he said, “Judging by how happy you look, I’m sure that Kendall showed up, right?”“Huh?!” Samantha was surprised. “That’s insane… How did you even guess that?”Adrian merely smiled, and Samantha instantly understood what had happened. “I see. You went to see him, didn’t you? Why would he come here all of a sudden otherwise?”Adrian nodded. “I did go to see him this morning. I told him some stuff about my father, which I’m guessing was just the push he needed to come here.”“Looks like you’ve got a knack for saying the right stuff at the right time. Color me surprised.”Samantha sounded rather coquettish when she said this.Adrian chuckled. “Not am I only good at saying the right stuff at the right time, but I’ve also got a knack for doing the right things at the right time.”Samantha was startled for a moment. “What do you mean?”For a moment, she was unable to comprehend what Adrian just said. However, her fa

Samantha quickly tidied up her hair to conceal her embarrassment.She turned around and looked at Adrian. “All right, it’s getting late. Let’s go home.”Adrian stood up. “I’ll send you home, but I myself will be home a little late tonight. I have some matters to attend to.”Samantha felt disappointed. She felt that their relationship had been growing closer. She was already prepared to offer herself to Adrian tonight and consummate their marriage if he were to take some initiative or behave more dominantly.Yet, Adrian was telling her that he would be home late?‘I’ve already come around but…’“Where are you going?” Samantha was rather agitated.“I have a comrade whose daughter is living in Swallowston. I found out that she’s having some financial trouble and I can’t ignore it,” Adrian answered truthfully.“If his daughter is having financial trouble, what is he doing to address that? I believe that he still gets paid by the military no matter how badly he performs, right?”“H

It was an old house that was built more than two decades ago.It was already dark out and the lights inside the house were turned on. A gaunt middle-aged woman was bustling about in the kitchen.The door flew open and Juno entered the house in her wheelchair. “I’m home, Mother!”The woman came out of the kitchen. She said when she saw her daughter, “You’re home, Juno. Go and do your homework. Dinner will be ready soon.”Juno looked at her sickly-looking mother and said smilingly, “A very important guest is coming to our home today, Mother. I’ll cook!”Juno’s mother was named Isla Zabel. Ever since her husband passed, she carried the heavy responsibility of raising her daughter on her own. Afterward, a road accident took her daughter’s legs and Isla almost lost her will to live after going through two soul-crushing incidents.Luckily, Juno had been strong enough to survive the ordeal. She did not give in to despair just because of her disability. On the contrary, it motivated her

Isla stopped Adrian at the door right away.As a mother, she would instinctively protect her child and Adrian could understand why.Juno came out of the kitchen and pulled Isla to the side.“Mother, this is War Legate Draco. Don’t be rude to him.”“Please come in,” Juno said as she pulled Adrian into the house.“Juno…” Isla wanted to say something but stopped herself. She could not bring herself to stop her daughter upon seeing how happy she was.It had been a long time since Juno looked this happy.Adrian entered the house. Juno’s house was shabby but it was clean and tidy. The sofa was so old that it was tattered in various places but it could still be sat on.Juno showed Adrian to a sear and said to him smilingly, “Please sit here. I’ll go get you a coffee!”Adrian stood up. “It’s inconvenient for you to move around so you don’t have to get me anything. I won’t be here long.”“I’ll go get it then.” Isla headed to the kitchen to grab the pot of coffee.Juno was delighted b

Just as Adrian said, there was no better way to prove his identity than the medallion.There was no other unit or department in this world that could produce such a medallion other than Wyvern Peak.At this point, Isla suddenly bowed to Adrian.“War Legate Draco, in honor of my late husband, please help me,” Isla said as she cried.Adrian stretched out his hands and helped Isla to her feet. “Please sit. We can talk slowly.”“I’m begging you,” Isla pleaded.Adrian knew that Isla had something to tell him so he did not stop her. He simply asked, “What’s happening, ma’am?”Isla inhaled a deep breath. “I have cancer and don’t have long left to live.”Adrian was shocked upon hearing this.Juno, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, suddenly froze and felt no pain as the knife cut into her hand. She could vaguely hear the conversation in the living room.“How long have you known?” Adrian asked calmly.“A little over three months ago. I have late-stage lung cancer. According

Isla was startled by the commotion and Juno hastily came out of the kitchen.Adrian turned around and sized up the people who had entered the house.***“Ah? You have a visitor today, Isla? Is he your boy toy?“There’s a saying that widows are always up to no good. Are you playing with your boy toy and cheating on my eldest brother?”The burly man with a full beard was thirty-six years old, but he looked older than he was—like a man over forty.As soon as he entered the house, Isla quickly let go of Adrian’s hand, got to her feet, and said, “What are you doing here, Joshua? You’re not welcome here. Please leave.”The burly man’s name was Joshua Byrd and he was Juno’s second uncle. The woman next to him was Juno’s second aunt and her name was Heather Duran.Isla loathed them. She had received close to a million dollars in death gratuity from Wyvern Peak as compensation. Joshua and Heather had their eyes on the money so they worked with a swindler to cheat her of the money saying

“Get out!” Isla shouted as she pointed at the door.Joshua and Heather refused to leave, of course.Joshua said, “Sign the f*cking contract so I can acquire the land. I have a buyer willing to pay four hundred thousand dollars for it and I have the attorney with me. Hurry up and sign it. Stop dragging this out!”“I refuse!” Isla said in a fury.“You refuse huh? We’ll see!”As Heather spoke, she made her way to Isla in long strides, raised her hand, and proceeded to deliver a slap to Isla’s face.However, Adrian stopped the slap.Upon seeing Adrian stop her, Heather said angrily, “Who the f*ck are you? This is none of your business. Get out of my way!”Adrian loosened his grip over Heather and said to Juno, “Take your mother to get some rest and leave this to me.”Juno took Isla away.Adrian took a few steps forward and said, “If I’m not mistaken, you are Juno’s uncle, right?”He toward Joshua.“Who the heck are you?” Joshua asked angrily.“Who I am is not important,” Adria
