Paul’s idea was very simple. Even if the legate wished to enter the prison, he would need approval from the governor’s office as he did not have a lot of authority when it came to internal affairs.Adrian answered, “I’ll get the Battle Warrior Department to send you a set of the needed documents.”Paul was relieved. “All right… Great then. Please come in!”Paul made an invitatory gesture.Adrian immediately walked into the building beyond the enclosing wall. It was the living space for the staff members guarding Prison 14.Paul took him to the control room. The surveillance here covered every inch of the prison, even the toilets. It was because the prisoners here did not have the right to privacy.“Hand over the information of all the prisoners here,” Adrian told Paul after he took a seat in the control room.Paul was stunned. He hastily said, “Sir, you don’t have the authority to read the prisoners’ information.”Adrian looked at Paul. “What if I insist on reading it?”Paul s
Paul’s entire body shook when he witnessed this scene. He could not help shivering profusely.Paul never expected the legate to mobilize four of the five battle warriors and instruct them to come here. He was under the assumption that he could use the governor’s name to reject Adrian from doing anything in Prison 14.He never expected this to happen.Adrian’s behavior was without a doubt akin to going above the governor’s head.The situation was out of control.Paul said in a panic, “You have the right to mobilize the battle warriors to investigate Prison 14 but according to our rules, I have the right to notify the governor’s office too. I hope you won’t make things difficult for me.”As Paul was speaking, he made a call to the governor’s office.***In Swallowston’s governor's office, Southrive, the staff member was dozing off at this very moment when a call came in.“Hello. Swallowston’s governor office.”“Hello. My name is Paul Gaul. Please inform the governor that War Le
Wallace said, “Connect me to Daniel.”“Yes, sir.”Soon, the operator dialed Daniel’s office phone and said, “General Daniel, Governor Wallace would like to speak with you.”Daniel was sitting in the office when he learned about the call. He said, “Put the call through.”“Yes, sir.”The call was instantly patched through.Daniel said with a smile as he continued to read a document, “Governor Wallace, what made you think of me? Why are you calling me in such a rush?”Wallace sneered and said in a querying tone, “Daniel, I’d like to know what the heck the Battle Warrior Department is doing. I’m warning you. Don’t stir up trouble. Otherwise, you’d be better off returning to Wyvern Peak!”The act of setting up battle warrior branches in main cities was Imperial Capital’s governor’s headquarters nod of recognition toward the Battle Warrior Department. It could be said that the Battle Warrior Department set up stations in the governor’s territories.If one were to examine the level o
Daniel shook his head and chuckled as he put the phone back on the cradle.Meanwhile, Wallace abruptly flipped the table in his office and roared in anger, “F*ck! He’s such a bully! A big f*cking bully!”The staff did not have the courage to speak as they watched Wallace lose his temper from outside his office.Meanwhile, Wallace said with a malicious expression, “How dare you meddle in other people’s business, Legate. Very well. We’ll see who will be the last man standing today!”As he spoke, Wallace made another call.“Scorpio, eliminate Chuck. Do it now!”“Understood.”***In Prison 14, Adrian was going through the surveillance camera in the control room. He was observing every corner of the prison in search of Chuck.Paul had already tampered with Chuck’s location and placed him in a spot without any cameras. It was clear that Adrian could not find him.Reiss stood by the side and watched the scene. At this moment, she had already figured out who Adrian was. From the seri
While Adrian was giving out the order, a chain reaction happened deep within the mountains in a faraway place. This was the closest populated area to Prison 14.“We’ve been ordered by the legate to destroy Prison 14!”“We’ve been ordered by the legate to destroy Prison 14!”What followed were the sounds of whirring…***At the same time, the sounds of guns firing rang out within Prison 14, followed by the bodies of the imprisoned criminals falling onto the ground, riddled with holes by the flurry of bullets.The same went for Scorpio. He was among the bodies lying in pools of their own blood despite maintaining communication with Wallace from inside his prison cell.Yet, Adrian’s fury still was not quelled. He wanted everyone remotely involved with the matter killed!At that moment, as Reiss looked at how furious Adrian was and the endless sound of bullets entered her ear, she finally understood just what kind of person Adrian truly was. She felt that the Adrian she was looking
However, a sudden explosion shocked them all.People quickly turned toward the forest deep within the mountains, wondering what had just happened there.More explosions followed…Meanwhile, within the governor’s office in Swallowston, Wallace seemed anxious as he sat in his office. His face quickly turned pale and he trembled the moment he heard the explosions.“What’s happening out there?!” Wallace yelled, and an employee walked in.“Sir, the Battle Warrior Department just blew up Prison 14!”“Wh-What?!” Wallace was so stunned that he collapsed onto the ground.‘Prison 14’s been blown up? The department can actually do such a thing?’Wallace was terrified, never expecting that the legate would be such a reckless man.‘He showed the governor’s office not the slightest bit of courtesy and blew up Prison 14???”Wallace’s mouth was ajar, stunned as he asked, “Wh-What happened to the people in there?”“They were all killed, including Paul.”“Wh-What about Chuck Wilson?”“He’s
Adrian wanted to chase after her, but on second thought, chose not to.‘She probably needs some time to calm down. After all, even I need some time to myself sometimes.’Thus, Adrian continued to wait in the hospital hallway.After around twenty minutes, the clacking of high-heeled shoes could be heard. Samantha, who was in her uniform, now stood next to Adrian.Adrian was quite surprised to see her here. “Sam? What are you doing here?”Samantha’s face was slightly flushed as she asked, “What are you doing here all on your own?”She had no idea Adrian was at the hospital at that moment, and neither did he know that she was there too.“A friend is in the emergency ward and I’m waiting for him to come out. What about you?”“I’m here for a check-up.” Samantha’s face turned red as she said this.“What kind of check-up?”“A preconception checkup!”Samantha’s voice suddenly turned extremely soft as she continued, “I was originally planning on asking you to come with me but you sai
Adrian clenched his fist slightly as his gaze turned ice cold.He swore, “I’ll get to the bottom of this… I’m going to find out who it was that put him in this bed.”After taking a deep breath, Samantha lamented, “I never thought he’d end up like this… He’s such a nice man and has done nothing to deserve this.”At that moment, Raquel Zayn, the battle warrior from Serpenshire, walked in with a few of her men. She was the only woman among the top ten strongest battle warriors and was only twenty-nine years old.Her abilities as a warrior were comparable to that of her male compatriots. Coupled with her beauty, she was regarded as the modern Deborah Sampson.“Have Lucas and the others left?” Adrian asked when he saw her walk in.“Lucas has returned to Southrive. Caine and Gale have also left on urgent matters, so I’m here to see if you need me for anything else since I’ve got time on my hands.”Adrian replied, “Have our men stationed at every single exit in Swallowston and conduct
