Relief washed over Adrian when he heard Juno’s words.He was shocked by her. He had not expected an eighteen-year-old to be capable of such deep thoughts.Juno continued to giggle as she looked at Adrian. Her thinking was already on par with his, and he felt like he had the mentality of an eighteen-year-old.“Did I hit the mark?” Juno wanted to know Adrian’s opinion.At this point, Adrian could not come up with any other response than to nod his head. He said, “You truly surprise me, Juno. Since you’re the one who came up with the idea, why don’t you write the letter to Novemton on my behalf? You can do it.”Juno pouted and asked, “What benefits do I get from writing the letter?”Adrian was stunned. He was initially rather proud of Juno, yet was rendered speechless when she started seeking benefits.“Go on then. What sort of benefits would you like? As long as it is not too much, you can have it,” Adrian said.“I’d like a new dress,” Juno said.Adrian's eyes instantly went wid
Adrian was walking backward ahead of Samantha, his front facing her.He felt rather puzzled upon hearing her question. “What son? How do you know that it’s a son in your belly? What if it’s a daughter?”Samantha rubbed her belly. “He’s in my belly so how can I not know his gender? I’m very confident that it’s a son. Would you like to make a bet?”“What are we betting on?” Adrian asked.Samantha thought about it and said, “If it’s a son, you’ll wash my clothes for the rest of your life. If it’s a daughter, I’ll wash yours. What do you think?”Adrian had the awareness to know that it was just clothes.Adrian said smilingly, “Let’s not bet. I’ll handle the task of washing your clothes for the rest of your life.”Samantha glared at Adrian. “That sounds good. However, if I’m right about the baby being a son, what’re you going to name him?”Adrian said without the slightest hesitation, “His name will be Neo Xander. If it’s a girl, you can name her.”“Neo Xander?” Samantha chuckled.
Everyone, including the monarch, was stunned when they heard the news.Wyvern Peak had already been dissolved? They had shut down operations before the monarch even issued the order to do so.The monarch had an awkward look on his face as the officers and civilians at the scene began to whisper to one another.“Why did Wyvern Peak take the initiative to dissolve itself? Is this beneficial to Draco?”“It has always been hard to figure out his train of thought. He dissolved Wyvern Peak so suddenly. Is it because he received some sort of information that we didn’t?”“What’s going on?”Many people were puzzled. In light of Draco’s usual domineering personality, they did not think he would dissolve Wyvern Peak.The crowd continued to discuss at great length.Meanwhile, Chase said, “Draco is no fool. I believe that he acquired some information and knows that Internal Affairs was about to vote out Wyvern Peak. That’s why he dissolved the organization so suddenly. Rather than wait for
Everyone present felt like they were just slapped across the face.A moment ago, they openly stated they were sending out assassins to eliminate the battle warriors and the guardians. Now, that was no longer the case, nor did they dare to make such suggestions anymore.Nobody present could have ever thought that Draco dissolving Wyvern Peak would end up leaving Internal Affairs hanging by a thread. The words “all hell will break loose, every living being will live in misery, and the three million warriors will gather once again” rang over and over in everyone’s ears.Of course, they understood what the legate meant. If anyone from Internal Affairs kills any one of his people, he would turn the whole world upside down and devour them like the merciless sea.For a moment, the meeting room became extremely silent. Nobody dared to make a sound.After a brief silence, the monarch said, “Do you see this? Draco is openly threatening me because he thinks I’m going to kill off his men one
Nobody was able to give the monarch an answer as everything had already come to pass.Out of fear of Wyvern Peak’s growing powers, Internal Affairs had already cut down the resources channeled to Wyvern Peak by half over the past two years. They even came up with a strategy to have Wyvern Peak dissolved.Yet, was exactly what Draco did before they could even act out on their plans.They all thought Draco was a fool who only knew military tactics. In truth, he proved to be far more intelligent than expected, stupefying everyone from Internal Affairs by dissolving Wyvern Peak before they could. On top of that, he threatened to reform Wyvern Peak if Internal Affairs ever harmed any of its soldiers.In other words, he was still in command of the three million people from Wyvern Peak, who were patiently waiting to be brought back together upon command.And at that moment, Internal Affairs no longer had any power over Swallowston. The continuous development of the situation was more tha
Life was no different for Adrian after he dissolved Wyvern Peak.At that moment, he was in the courtyard with Samantha, watering the flowers together. The couple did not seem affected by Novemton’s news. To Samantha, she would support all of Adrian’s decisions no matter what. Plus, she has never interfered with any of his plans that involved Wyvern Peak.At that moment, a jeep drove into their courtyard. The driver was the slender-legged Mya. When she stepped out and saw Adrian watering the plants, she said, “You sure have a peaceful life, sir. You’ve got a beautiful wife to live out your merry life with you.”“Mya, you’re here.” Samantha greeted her with a smile.Mya nodded in return before walking over toward Adrian. “Everyone from Wyvern Peak has gone home. Even the battle warriors have retired and are heading home. I, too, am planning on heading back to Southrive.”“That’s good. You should hurry up and find yourself a decent man to marry when you get home. Remember to invite m
When Adrian and Samantha stepped into the living room, Joanna quickly pulled Samantha away. She wanted Samantha to do a pregnancy exercise she had seen on the television.Adrian walked up to the sky garden alone and reclined on one of the deck chairs. He then opened up a book and read it in peace.The book was a historical record of Wyvern Peak, with the legacies of all war legates written in it. It also contained the number of times Wyvern Peak had been dissolved and brought back together once more.That’s right. This was not the first time Wyvern Peak was dissolved. They had gone through the same process once sixty years ago, that disbandment lasting for three whole years. It was then rebuilt in three days through a secret order sent by War Legate Boreas.On top of that, this action laid down Wyvern Peak’s foundation and was a sign that the now-dissolved Wyvern Peak, which was dissolved for a second time, will eventually rise from the ashes once more.There was a reason why the
Juno squinted her eyes.‘According to the books I’ve read, Herculean Boxing is a mixed martial arts technique unique to Wyvern Peak. It was developed after years of trial and error. I’ve also read that this technique is a must-have for all of Wyvern Peak’s soldiers.It’s probably the most ferocious technique to date.’Juno recalled reading about this technique. So when she heard Adrian’s offer, she quickly said, “But, Brother, I don’t know how to fight even though I know the technique. I’ve read about it before but it’s really difficult to learn.”“Don’t worry, I’ll teach you.” Adrian stood up, pulling Juno to her feet as well.“You’ve got an extraordinary memory, Juno. I’ll demonstrate the technique slowly, and I want you to repeat what I’ve done in all seriousness after you’ve learned it.”Juno nodded, allowing Adrian to begin his demonstration. His movements looked slow, but the force of his punches was filled with vitality and ferocity while his defenses were impeccable, demo
