Asher’s death had taught Harial of the legate’s methods.He knew that the legate was not joking around, and now understood that the legate was the devil!Adrian nonchalantly looked at Harial, who was on his knees, before him. He picked up the information gathered from Daniel’s investigation.“Harial, according to this file, you haven’t committed any serious crimes. Based on my investigation, you have not been involved in any particularly serious situation.“However, you now understand that I don’t tolerate any mistakes, right?” Adrian asked Harial in a low tone.Harial nodded profusely. “Yes, sir. Absolutely. I’ll do anything that you ask of me from now on. Your request is my command, Legate!”Harial was scared out of his wits. He initially wanted to put on a strong front like Asher but reality had proved that Asher was a fool. There were times when one needed to yield to survive.Harial did not deserve to be killed so Adrian had no intention of doing so. However, he wanted to s
Adrian then stood up, shook his head, and said, “Not being able to receive treatment when one is sick… I am responsible for ensuring that such a thing never happens again.”Upon saying this, Adrian moved toward the door. Daniel quickly followed after him with his subordinates.Suddenly, Adrian stopped in his tracks and said, “Oh right. Take these company presidents away and teach them a good lesson. I loathe those who form connections with others through money.”“Yes, sir.” Daniel waved his hand to summon a few subordinates and tasked them to detain these people.Soon after, Adrian left the private room. The young women kneeling on the ground had tears in their eyes. They gazed after his departing silhouette with frightened eyes and a few of them had even wet themselves.Soon, no one else was left in the room.War Legate Draco vanished from people’s sight.Mya had yet to leave. She lowered her head to look at the young women on the floor and said, “We’re all women but the differ
With that, Adrian left the Battle Warrior Department.However, he knew all too well that he was in control of Wyvern Peak’s future. There was no telling what would happen to its three million soldiers.***Adrian got rid of the distracting thoughts in his head and returned home. Night had fallen by then.When he arrived in the yard, he saw two brand-new Maserati Quattroporte parked there. The sounds of joyous laughter were heard coming from the sky garden above.Adrian was caught by surprise. He made his way to the sky garden and found Joanna, Samantha, and Sarah sitting on the man-made beach in the sky garden, happily chatting away.Adrian was stunned. ‘What’s going on?’“You’re home, dear.” After noticing Adrian, Samantha immediately stopped talking to Joanna and Sarah and turned her head as she smiled.Adrian was puzzled by Sarah’s presence. He walked over and asked in puzzlement, “What brings you here, Sarah?”“Hey, Godpa!” Sarah called out.“Godpa!” Joanna called out in
Adrian and Samantha headed downstairs and entered their bedroom.Samantha sat on the bed and asked Adrian while she unbuttoned her top, “Oh, dear. How did everything go?”Adrian nodded and tucked Samantha into bed.“I killed Asher, and Wyvern Peak is the predominant power of Swallowston as of this moment,” Adrian answered.“There’s no objection from Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters?” Samantha was slightly worried.Swallowston’s Internal Affairs had been wiped out so Wyvern Peak had full control over the city. But that was definitely not good news for Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters.Adrian smiled at Samantha and said, “There’s no need for you to worry about these things. We’ll deal with it with proper measures when it comes.”Samantha said, “But I don’t get it. Why do you have to do this?”Adrian’s methods in Swallowston recently shocked everyone. Even Samantha was having trouble understanding his reasoning. There was no doubt that he was challenging Internal A
It was late at night, and Swallowston was peaceful as ever.Meanwhile in Novemton…This city held great power in the country. The headquarters of the country’s major departments were set up here.A meeting had been called to order in Internal Affairs’ headquarters that controlled the country’s ten states. The leader of Internal Affairs’ headquarters and prefect leader of the Prefect Sentry, Chase Gardner, was sitting on the main seat.The departmental leaders of Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters were present as well. There were congressmen, colonels, chief secretaries, first guardians, and others at the scene.It was an emergency meeting of three great factions.Chase said, “I received a ciphered telegram from Swallowston earlier that War Legate Draco has taken down Asher Chumber following Wallace and Byron’s murders. What is your opinion on this matter, everyone?”The crowd whispered to one another as Chase’s voice faded.Someone said, “Mr. Chase, Draco’s actions in Swa
Rue answered, “If my son can’t sleep, how can I as a mother sleep peacefully?”Adrian chuckled and removed his jacket, draping it over Rue’s shoulders. He said, “It’s nothing really. I was thinking about Father. How nice would it be if he were still alive.”“Your father is already dead and you’re the head of this house now,” Rue said.Adrian did not respond. He had no idea when it started but he had lost the sense of security of when his father had been around.Meanwhile, Rue said, “Wyvern Peak’s three million soldiers have assembled. Your achievements as the legate are so great that your superiors feel insecure. You’re worried about the future of Wyvern Peak, right?”Adrian was surprised. He had not expected Rue to notice this. She was a homemaker, yet she could see this clearer than anybody else.“How did you know, Mother?” Adrian asked.“I used to be a top student back in my day. I’d have pursued a doctorate if I didn’t meet your father. However, I didn’t figure this out. Jun
Shortly after Adrian made the call, all the major departments of Wyvern Peak in the country received the information.Some were confused, some were surprised, and some were stunned.Adrian's phone started blowing up. Call after call came through, and message after message was delivered.“Legate, why are you dissolving Wyvern Peak?”“Sir, what will our people do if Wyvern Peak is dissolved?”“Sir…”An endless stream of messages was delivered to his phone, but Adrian did not reply to any of them. Soon, this information reached Wyvern Peak’s headquarters.Rue stood next to Adrian and kept him company.In a moment, another call came in. It was from Lucas.Adrian picked up and Lucas said, “Sir, did you suddenly dispatch an order to dissolve Wyvern Peak? Why, sir? If Wyvern Peak is dissolved, our soldiers will be hunted down and killed by Internal Affairs one by one.”Adrian said, “Execute the order and make sure Wyvern Hall is empty before sunrise. Every Wyvern Peak soldier is to
Juno said, “Frankly, I’ve been wanting to tell you that Wyvern Peak has already lost its relevance. Since it has lost its relevance, why hasn’t it been dismantled yet?“Dismissal is a good thing for Wyvern Peak. It may not necessarily be a good thing to keep it running.”Juno was being very serious.Adrian tutted. Her train of thought was exactly the same as his. He could not help being impressed and felt like he was just truly getting to know her. He found that she was very gifted in this area.Adrian asked, “Tell me about the advantages of dissolving Wyvern Peak and the disadvantages of keeping it.”Juno said, “I will talk about the disadvantages first. Internal Affairs will soon cut off your supplies if Wyvern Peak isn’t dismantled. Not having adequate resources is a disadvantage to Wyvern Peak.“The second disadvantage is that Internal Affairs will spare no effort in ruining Wyvern Peak’s reputation so that you will be trapped in a vortex of negative public opinion.“The thi
