Chuck said, “You look completely different from seven years ago. You used to look so weak that I could send you flying with a single punch. But now, you’re so much stronger!”Adrian replied, “You’ve lost a lot of weight.”Chuck choked up and was lost for words for a moment.“Just focus on getting better. We’ll go for a drink when you’re back on your feet. For now, I want you to think about nothing except rest.”Chuck wiped his tears. “I heard the whole story… I’m only alive because you donated your blood to me. Thank you, my friend… Thank you for still remembering me despite how long it’s been since we last met.”Adrian patted Chuck on the shoulder with a smile. “Enough with the corny stuff. I should be thanking you for the good memories. I’m here now, Chubbs, so you have nothing to be afraid of.”Chuck trembled the moment he heard this. He had been living in fear for so many years, suffering every single minute, down to the seconds. He never once thought that he would be able to

Chuck’s mouth hung wide open.He was not expecting his old friend whom he had not met for seven years to show up before him once more and announce that he was the great War Legate Draco.He was utterly stunned and fell into deep thought. ‘If Adrian’s the legate, then Wallace is absolutely nothing in front of him!’At that thought, Chuck began to break down. He grabbed Adrian’s hand and cried, “Adrian, you have to avenge me… Please!”Chuck was extremely agitated, letting out all the vengeance and grief he felt inside. He wanted the legate to avenge him!Adrian wished to calm the fear deep within Chuck’s heart. All that he was waiting for was for Chuck to say the word.“Go ahead and tell me the story, Chubbs. What happened? Did you kill anyone?”Chuck shook his head like a madman. “I never killed anyone. They framed me. You have to avenge me, Adrian. You know I’d never lie and that I always admit my mistakes. I never killed anyone, and that’s the truth.”“Okay, I’ll help you get

Nine in the morning in Sormbay City…Sormbay was a country surrounded by the sea, which meant they were in a pretty good situation economically.At that moment, a certain plane made its descent into Sormbay City’s airport. After that, Wallace walked out with his luggage behind him. He exited the airport after going through the security checks.He waited at the airport for a while before…“Father!” a young man called out to Wallace, waving from the other side.Seeing this, Wallace immediately ran toward the young man, who was revealed to be Cormac, his son.“Did you bring your debit card with you?”Cormac nodded. “Relax, Father. I’ve sold everything worth selling so we’ve now got forty-five million dollars in here. It’ll be enough for us to live in Sormbay for a while.”Wallace smiled. “Good. There’s nothing the legate can do to us when we’re overseas, no matter how powerful he is. Come on. Let’s lay low for the time being and return home later.“You know… Sormbay’s women are f

The Sormbayan soldiers threw Wallace and Cormac into the back of a vehicle.Immediately after that, they were sent back to the airport and flown to Southrive’s Swallowston, along with a few soldiers as escorts.***That afternoon, Adrian was at the Battle Warrior Department when he received word from Sormbay that Wallace and Cormac had been delivered.Adrian arranged for them to be sent to the hospital as he got up and rushed over there himself. However, before he did this, he sent Reiss a text.“Chubbs has woken up. Come to the hospital if you’re still in Swallowston.’Meanwhile, Reiss was sitting on a long bench in a certain garden in Swallowston. She had no idea where to go since she was now homeless. At the same time, she did not wish to return to Northrive since that place was no different than a graveyard to her.When she read Adrian’s text, she remained silent for a while before she got up and hailed a cab to the hospital. Coincidentally, she ran into him when she arrived

Reiss chuckled. “What does the legate have to do with you? Stop dreaming and focus on recovering. Do you know how terrified I was when I saw you at Prison 14?”“You were there too?” Chuck asked.“I was, I was also the one who told Adrian that you had fallen out of touch two years ago. I doubt he’d remember you if I didn’t. After all, he’s such an important person so he probably forgot about us long ago,” Reiss said, her words seeming to target Adrian.Adrian remained silent.Chucked smiled and said, “Don’t say that, Reiss. He’d never forget about us. He’s just been really busy recently. He came to help me, didn’t he? He’s always been very protective of his friends and that hasn’t changed.”“I see you’re well on his side, but I’m not as forgiving as you.”Chuck smiled at that remark, while someone walked into his ward at that moment. Mya, who was wearing an extremely short pair of pants, walked in and said, “Sir, the Cooks are here.”Anticipation overcame Chuck when he heard this

Their screams of agony echoed throughout the hospital.Their blood and tears mixed together, dripping onto the floor as despair and helplessness filled their minds. Neither of the Cooks ever expected to end up in such a state, especially after how invincible they thought they were over the years.Reiss and Rue were too scared to even watch, while something seemed to have triggered within Chuck’s heart. He recalled how the father and son had treated him worse than an animal. They beat him up whenever they wanted, constantly threatened to end his life, and even pulled strings from behind the scenes to get him thrown into Prison 14.He never thought he would live to see the day Wallace and Cormac would face even greater despair than he did.“Sir, please… Please spare me! I’m sorry, sir… I was wrong… I’m a member of Internal Affairs… You can’t do this to me!” Wallace yelled as fresh wounds continued to be inflicted on him. He was in such immense pain that he had broken down entirely.
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 403
A monster!In Reiss’s mind, Adrian was a monster—a merciless and cold-blooded monster.‘Adrian could’ve just killed Wallace and Cormac rather than torture them first, and the way he did it was something no sane person would be capable of. Maybe he did the same to Seth too before killing him…’Reiss felt as though a boulder was pressing against her chest as she looked at her former classmate. The man she was secretly in love with had turned into a monster.Adrian stopped and turned around. He looked at Reiss and asked, “Do you think I’m cruel? That I’m a monster?”“Are you saying you’re not?” Reiss asked in a hoarse voice.She sobbed and took a step back before wiping away her tears. Her eyes were filled with fear when she looked back at Adrian. She was afraid that he might lay his hands on her out of anger, but that was far from the truth.Instead, Adrian smiled and asked, “So, you do think I’m cruel. Then answer me this. Do you know how our men were tortured when the Luposians
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 404
Reiss silently stared at Adrian, her eyes brimming with tears.Thus, Adrian answered his own question and said, “Your brother didn’t think he had done anything wrong after killing Simon. Instead, he thought that Simon deserved it. Plus, he tried to cover up the matter, which is why he never realized his mistake and became even worse.“So, why is he allowed to be so cruel when taking someone’s life while I can’t do the same to him after I find out the truth?“Do you understand what I’m trying to say?” Adrian asked.Reiss shook her head at first but nodded after some thought.Adrian took a deep breath and wiped the tears off Reiss’ face. “There’s a time and place for when we have to be fair and kind. If we show kindness to our enemies, they’ll only end up taking advantage of us. By being kind to our enemies, we’re exposing ourselves to even greater dangers. This is why I’ve always lived by the code of making criminals understand how much worse I am compared to them.”Reiss finally
