The Return of the War Legate Chapter 570
When they arrived downstairs, Mya took the wheel while Shirley led them toward Christina’s workplace.Christina was an engineer who was in charge of building a school accommodation.Half an hour later, Mya drove into a worksite in the western parts of Southeast City and parked her car. Shirley quickly got out and spotted Christina, who was wearing a safety helmet and uniform, about to leave the worksite.Shirley rushed toward her. “Mother! Wait!”Christina, who was far away, stopped right outside the worksite entrance and turned around curiously when she heard Shirley’s voice. She became even more confused when she saw Shirley running in her direction.“Shirley? What are you doing here?” Christina asked.Shirley said with a smile, “I have two friends who are here to see you. They said it’s important.”Following that, Mya and Adrian walked over.The moment Christina saw Mya and Adrian, she said, “There’s something urgent I need to look into right now, Shirley. Come see me after

These people put their phones away and stood up when they saw Christina arriving.After Christina stopped her car, she turned around and said, “I’ll pay them the money and leave, so I want you all to stay in here.”The youngsters immediately surrounded her when she got out. The leader among them was a young man with a crew cut, an earring on one ear, and a dragon tattoo on his neck.He said, “I’ve been waiting for you for more than half an hour, Ms. Christina. Have you no respect for me?”Christina smiled wryly and replied, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Nash. I was caught in traffic.”“Bullsh*t!” Nash scowled.His full name was Nash Lockley, and his uncle was a member of Internal Affairs’ Southeast Branch. This lent Nash a notorious reputation within the area.He had recruited a group of people and would loiter around the area to extort money from a few companies. This had been going on for a few years, and none of the nearby shops dared to disobey him.This time, Nash got bolder and

The men fled as far as they could since their lives depended on it.Almost instantly, the alley became completely empty, aside from Nash’s body. Christina looked at Adrian in a daze, her mouth hung ajar. She trembled as she looked at him.“Y-You killed him,” she said in shock.Adrian was wiping the blood off his hands, completely unaffected by the kill he just made because of how used he was to such things. Then, he smiled at Christina and said, “This is nothing to feel alarmed about, Ms. Christina. He deserved to die anyway, so it was only a matter of time before someone got to him.”Adrian picked up the case filled with money and handed it over to Christina before getting back into the car.Shirley, who seemed even more infatuated with Adrian now, said, “That was awesome, sir!” Adrian merely smiled at her, while Mya had already made a call to ask someone to take care of the corpse. Shortly after, Christina got back into the car, still shaken from everything that just happened.

Christina replied, “What other reason could there be? He said he wanted to study abroad after we got married, and I let him. In the end, he chose not to return after going there.“I became pregnant with Shirley shortly after he left, and he didn’t come back to visit us until she was born.”“Shirley told us he had another lover. Is this true?” Mya asked.“Yes. I went to look for him in the past and found out he was in a relationship with a foreign student. I saw it with my own eyes… But I think she died.“After she passed, Kayn came back to the country and stayed at Southeast University.”Adrian exchanged looks with Mya as though they had just found a clue.Adrian then said, “Where did he study? How did that woman die?”Without even thinking about her answer, Christina replied, “He was at Sormbay. I heard there was a riot happening over there, and it was Wyvern Peak who helped to resolve it. That woman died amid the chaos.”“The Sormbay 148 incident.” Mya looked at Adrian.The

It was only then did Christina and Shirley understand the severity of the situation.In truth, this was definitely not good news for Wyvern Peak.Christina fell silent, while Shirley seemed helpless. As anxious as she was, there was nothing she could do to help.Once again, Adrian looked at Christina and asked a few more questions, all of which he received no answers to. In the end, he was not able to find anything to aid his cause.Not wanting to waste any more time, Adrian stood up and said, “I’ve told you most of the situation, Ms. Christina. Please feel free to call me if you think of something. I’ll leave you in peace now.”Christina quickly got up and seemed embarrassed as she said, “I’m truly sorry I couldn’t be of much help to you, Adrian. I genuinely have no idea what Kayn’s been doing after our divorce.”She clearly felt bad for not being of much help, but Adrian merely smiled in response.He and Mya left the hotel after that.***It was already evening by the time A

Kyle replied, “One time, when Kayn and I were drinking, he mentioned the book’s name after getting drunk. The book contains the names of hundreds of Wyvern Peak’s future legates. I suppose you could say they are predictions made by Wyvern Peak’s ancestors.”“Hundreds?”Adrian was slightly surprised, while Mya was extremely shocked.A prediction made by the ancestors? But how accurate were these predictions? But based on everything Kayn had done so far, it was clear that he was right since…Adrian became the legate.Mya turned toward Adrian and said, “If this is true, then the next legate is in danger. If someone else gets their hands on this book, they’re not going to be using it to produce a movie.”Mya was right. The outlanders wouldn’t be using the book to film a movie if they got their hands on it.Adrian remained deep in thought for a while before he looked at Kyle and asked, “Do you know when this book began circulating?”Kyle pondered for a bit before saying, “I’m not sure

Adrian and Samantha talked for a while longer before they slept.The next morning, Adrian received a call from Mya as soon as dawn broke. According to a dependable source, Southrive’s Fowler House had indeed auctioned off a book about ten years ago.After ending the call, he quickly got ready and made his way to the downhill part of Jewel Road. After waiting at the bottom of the hill for a bit, Mya arrived in a car.Adrian got into the car without any hesitation. Mya stepped on the pedal and they headed off to Southrive.***Along the way, Mya updated Adrian on the information she discovered from last night’s investigation.Mya said, “I reached out to Donald of Southrive’s Kushner Group last night. He’s the richest man in Southrive and has visited Fowler House on multiple occasions. Donald vividly remembers that a book was auctioned off at Fowler House ten years ago. He can’t remember who purchased the book but he knew that the person did not look like he was from Navia.”“It wa

Soon, Donald drove into the compounds of an enormous mountain resort on Southrive’s outskirts.The majestic mountain resort was dotted with numerous mansions and villas. There were more than a hundred cleaning staff and gardeners working here.Donald stopped the car when they arrived at the checkpoint of the resort’s entrance. He said, “Please wait here. An access pass distributed at the bottom of the mountain is needed to enter Fowler House. Each person must hold a pass. Otherwise, the person won’t be allowed to enter.“I shall go over and talk to the guard.”Adrian nodded and Donald went to negotiate with the guard at the door. Five minutes later, he came back, shaking his head as he said, “Mr. Xander, the resort’s security is too strict. I’m allowed to enter but you’re not.”Upon hearing Donald’s remark, Adrian said, “This place exists because of the war that I fought. I refuse to believe that there’s even a single place in Navia that I can’t enter.”Upon saying that, Adrian g
