‘Get his uncle to come? Isn’t his uncle the original underworld boxing champion, Bo “Boxchamp” Lynch?’Bo was of high status in the underworld. Even though he was a businessman now, he was still held in high regard.If he were to come, Adrian would be made to pay for his action, right?The group was relieved upon hearing that Harry was getting Bo to come over.Stella chuckled and said, “That deadbeat must have grown strong and brutish from being in the construction profession. That’s why Harry is no match for him. He’s doomed now that Bo is coming.”Yes, that was the only explanation for this situation. She heard that one could get strong by working manual labor jobs at construction sites.Kevan said, “How dare a brat who does manual labor in construction sites for years fight against Harry. We’re in for a good show.”The group smiled because they needed not to be afraid now that Harry was bringing over Bo. After all, Bo was a big shot.“We’re going to get a good show today.”
In their opinion, not only Adrian would be doomed when Bo got here. Perhaps Adaline and her sister-in-law, Samantha, would become Harry’s playthings too.The men in the group envied Harry. They were jealous because Adaline and her sister-in-law were the rare beauties of Swallowston.Adaline held tightly onto Adrian’s hand as she listened to the conversation around her. She kept her head lowered. Her pearly whites clenched tight as she trembled. She regretted coming here with Stella.Suddenly, a commotion was heard coming from outside the hotel. The group was puzzled and did not know what was happening.Kevan motioned for one of the waiters and asked, “You there, what’s going on outside the hotel? What’s with the chaos and noise?”The waiter explained, “Our company’s president came and notified us to escort out all of the restaurant’s guests earlier. The hotel has also been sealed off. It seems that something bad has happened to the hotel. However, your group is the only exception.
At last, the waiter opened the door of the private room.Soon afterward, Bo dressed in a suit walked into the room. Behind him was Kevan’s father, Julian. A large group of bodyguards followed them into the room as well.The entire private room was boiling over with excitement because of these people’s arrival. The group was emotional, excited, and anxious.Suddenly, everyone got up from their seats and perked up.Harry said in excitement, “You’re here, Uncle Bo! Uncle Julian, what have I done to deserve someone like you to support me today?“I’m really grateful!”Harry extended his hand proudly toward Kevan’s father.He had not expected to have such a powerful connection. Then, he said excitedly, “Sorry for troubling you today, Uncle Julian. This deadbeat is abominable and you must punish him properly.”Meanwhile, Kevan saw his father, Julian from the other side and called out, “Father.”Julian nodded.On the other hand, Stella said, “Hello, Mr. Zahn. I’m Kevan’s girlfriend,
Realizing that Adrian still sounded so stubborn, Adaline panicked. “Uncle Julian, Uncle Bo, I’m truly sorry that my brother is so ignorant. Please forgive him and let him go.“He didn’t do it on purpose!”Bo and Julian’s eyes darted toward Adaline in unison. However, it was very apparent that they could not be bothered by her plea.Meanwhile, Bo said, “I don’t care if he did it on purpose or not. My whole life, I’ve thoroughly loathed dealing with trivial matters. Since he’s so stubborn, I’m going to let him experience the consequences of being conceited today.“Don’t touch his legs so that I can break them!” commanded Bo.“Please allow me to make a call before you beat me up,” said Adrian as he smiled.Bo was slightly taken aback. Next to him, Harry sneered and said, “Why? Are you trying to get someone to help you? Hahaha, who’s going to come for someone like you?”Kevan burst out laughing as well.Stella covered her mouth and chuckled incessantly. “That’s really funny. You da
“Hahaha, it’s the…”Julian burst out laughing when he heard the voice, but before he could even finish his sentence, the arrogant smile on his face crumpled.Even Bo, Kevan, Stella, Harry, and the rest were stupefied, while Skylar just stood there, frozen.At that moment, a young man in a military uniform walked into the room with more than a dozen escorts behind him. He possessed a powerful presence, emanating a terrifying demeanor as though he demanded respect from others around him.This very person was Lucas Jenner, the battle warrior of Dragonshire!To top it all off, this god-like man even had Southrive’s General Summers behind him, hitting Bo and Julian with a double whammy.Neither Bo nor Julian seemed as arrogant as they were before. Instead, they humbled themselves so much as they respectfully said, “Mr. Lucas, it’s such an honor to meet you!”“It really is an honor to meet you, Mr. Lucas!”The atmosphere was so intense that everyone felt their jaws drop. None of them
Julian was in tears.He knew there was no way he could turn the situation around—not when Lucas was the person with the highest authority throughout all of Dragonshire. Maybe the world even.Meanwhile, Harry was thoroughly stunned, while Kevan and Stella still could not believe what was happening.Everyone was confused as to how the tables had suddenly turned. Even Adaline was covering her mouth from the surprise.Suddenly, Daniel stormed toward Bo and stomped on his leg so hard that a loud “crack” was heard.“Aaaargh!” Bo screamed hysterically from the pain of his leg being broken.In deep despair, he yelled, “Please! Please, sir! Please tell me what I have done so wrong to deserve this?! What have I done?!”‘Why the hell did he cripple me out of nowhere? Why?!’ Bo thought.“All you need to know is that you’ve offended someone that even I wouldn’t dare offend.” Lucas looked toward Bo and then toward someone else as he spoke.Following his gaze, Bo’s mouth hung agape as he rea
‘He wants all of us turned into cripples as well?!’All of Adaline’s schoolmates were stunned, but then they realized they had also said some mean stuff to gain Kevan and Harry’s favor. They thought those words would not have any implications. But it was exactly because of this that Adrian announced he wanted all of their legs broken.“Ada… Ada, please… Please don’t do this! We’re all schoolmates, Ada!”No longer having scornful looks on their faces, all of Adaline’s schoolmates only showed helplessness and despair. They knew that Adrian would never spare them, so they began to beg Adaline for mercy.In fact, Adaline herself was stunned by the development of the situation. She looked at Adrian before looking at Lucas, confused as to why any of those things were happening.“Go ahead and do as you’re told, General Daniel.” Lucas gestured.“Yes, sir,” Daniel replied and waved his hand, ordering the escorts to move onward.Everyone was now on the floor after their legs had given way
Adaline took a deep breath and looked at Adrian as she said, “Y-You’re the war legate!”This left Adrian slightly surprised, while Adaline felt that everything was like a dream.“What kind of nonsense is that? How could I possibly be the legate?”“I have my reasons to think so,” Adaline confidently said.“Go on…”“Back at Alyanz Tower, General Daniel said that the legate was at the scene. We knew everyone there, which means they can’t possibly be the legate. So if the legate was indeed at the scene, wouldn’t that leave you as the only possibility?”Adaline recalled that she was curious about this question at the time. ‘Looks like Adrian really does have a big connection with the legate.’She then continued, “Also, General Daniel was insistently taking Samantha’s side that day. Why would he possibly help Bailar if you’re not the legate?“Do you still remember what you said before?”Adaline glared at Adrian, who pondered for a moment. He had no idea how to answer her.In truth,
