The Return of the War Legate Chapter 587
The journey took five hours and a few hundred kilometers.Nadine had no idea where Adrian was taking her. She tried to ask, but he gave no reply.After driving into the mountain forest, Nadine could not hold back anymore. She said to Adrian with a frown, “Stop the car. I’m about to wet myself.”Adrian instantly stopped the car. Nadine turned her head and looked at the surroundings. “Not a single toilet is to be found in this desolated mountain. Where am I supposed to do my business?”“There’s no one in the forest so no one will see you if you go in the bush,” Adrian said.“Are you even human?” Nadine asked.“You may consider me as not human. Go, but keep an eye out. There are poisonous snakes here.”“Where the heck are we?”“Mount Syrax.”“Why did you take me here?”“Are you going or not? We’re leaving if you’re not.”Nadine swiftly dove behind a bush and her eyes darted about out of fear of finding animals or insects underneath her. She freaked out for nothing.She returne

In the next moment, Nadine shifted her astounded gaze to Adrian.War Legate Draco’s real name was Adrian Xander, and many of the people buried in this cemetery had the name ‘Adrian Xander’ as well.It was as if there was some sort of pattern—a huge scheme hidden within.Nadine was in complete shock at this very moment. She suddenly found that everything was not as simple as she had imagined them to be. She said in a daze, “Your name is Adrian Xander? What’s up with all this then? Why do so many of the deceased here share the same first and last names as you?”This was no coincidence.Adrian smiled and took a seat on the ground outside the cemetery. Nadine stood by his side and lowered her head to look at him.He said, “All the Adrians here were not killed on the same day or even the same year. After roughly over twenty years, so many people who shared the same name as me are now dead.”“Why is that?” asked Nadine in confusion.Adrian raised his head and looked at her. “Do you s

Nadine finally understood everything, never expecting such a thing to be happening.She inhaled a deep breath and said, “It’s no wonder so many people by the same name were killed and buried here. It turns out that they were assassinated according to someone’s hit list. Hence, you came to see me because you suspect that they were assassinating Wyvern Peak’s soldiers based on the book auctioned by Fowler House ten years ago, right?”Adrian said, “That book is the only clue I have now. If the people behind this have a skilled professional to perform precise calculations and all sorts of complicated predictions, it is highly possible that they can predict the name of the next legate. Then, they will assassinate everyone who shares the same name.”“I understand now,” Nadine said.“If Wyvern Peak is dissolved, do you think Novemton’s Internal Affairs has the ability to protect the country? Ms. Nadine, frankly, it’s not that I refuse to admit defeat. Novemton’s Internal Affairs and I are

Nadine said this in a very sincere tone.She did not wish to die as she still had plenty of items to check off her bucket list. However, if Chase found out about this, she would surely be killed.Adrian smiled and pulled Nadine to her feet. “Don’t worry. No one’s going to kill you.”Nadine smiled at him. She exhaled a deep breath, gazed at their surroundings, and said with a smile, “This is a good place for a date if not for the cemetery. I’ve never been on a date before.”“You’ll meet someone at the right time. Come one. We should get going,” Adrian said.Nadine did not comment further and unwillingly left with Adrian. She had grown fond of this place with its blooming flowers and scenic view. However, it was apparent that this place was not for one to linger at.***Nadine and Adrian returned to Southrive. He immediately sent her back to Fowler House.Adrian called Samantha to inform her that he was not planning to return to Swallowston and would be staying in Southrive for a

Carlene headed back to the kitchen.Nadine pulled out her foundation and applied some on her face to conceal the skin that got bruised when Adrian stepped on her. Then, she got up to check herself in the mirror.She began to think about excuses that she could use to invite Adrian to the family home tomorrow.It took only a short time before Carlene returned with dinner. She added some extra side dishes because her daughter was eating too.The mother and daughter sat at the dining table and began to eat. Meanwhile, Carlene said, “Go on, Naddy. You’re home because you have something to tell me, right?”Carlene knew her daughter very well. She knew that something had to be wrong for her daughter to suddenly come home.Nadine giggled and said, “You make it sound like I don’t come home without a reason, Mother. However, I do have something to talk to you about. I’d like to know if Grandfather left anything behind before he passed away?”Carlene glanced at Nadine. “Why are you asking
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 592
Nadine went one whole circle until she arrived back at this topic.Carlene glanced at Nadine a few times before asking, “What prompted you to ask this?”Nadine made up an excuse. “Something happened at Fowler House today and I failed to handle the situation well. Grandfather used to be the one who handled this situation in the past. So it got me thinking about what Grandfather would have done if he was there.”Carlene pondered for a moment. She did not think too long before she said to Nadine, “Do your best in handling the matter since you’re already on it. You shouldn’t be looking for a way to quick success and instant benefits.”“Yes, I know. Tell me about Grandfather, quick.” Nadine urged.“He did leave behind quite a number of things before he passed away and they’re all stored in his residence. However, your Uncle Chase has already locked up his residence and no one is allowed to enter.“The cleaning staff are allowed to enter the house daily for cleaning works but Chase set

Meanwhile, Adrian had just left the Dean family home when he received Nadine’s call.He said, “How’s everything, Ms. Nadine?”Perhaps it was due to the dream she had last night, Nadine’s face blushed ever so slightly when she heard Adrian’s voice. She answered, “It’s done. Where are you now? I’ll pick you up and we can go over together.”“Let’s meet at Southrive Avenue,” Adrian suggested.“Okay.”Ten minutes later, Adrian arrived at Southrive Avenue. Nadine was already waiting by the roadside. He got out of his car, walked to Nadine’s, and got in.Nadine’s feminine scent permeated the car. Adrian noticed that she was all dressed up, wearing a red bodycon dress that accentuated her figure. However, he merely took a glance before shifting his gaze to the scenery outside.Noticing the situation, Nadine furrowed her beautiful eyebrows. “Hey, are you that disgusted by the sight of me? Will it kill you to take one more glance at me? I put on my nicest outfit today to meet you, you kno
The Return of the War Legate Chapter 594
Upon hearing Adrian’s words, Nadine suddenly realized that she knew less compared to him even though she was a few years older.Contradiction was the one trait that all humans shared at times indeed. It was an indisputable truth.Perhaps her grandfather was a man who contradicted himself.***Afterward, Nadine told Adrian about some dos and don'ts in the car before heading to her family home. She sternly told him to follow whatever she said. After all, she knew the family home like the back of her hand.Adrian naturally agreed to follow Nadine’s instructions. Then, they purchased some gifts from a mall nearby and were going to pass them off as Adrian’s gifts to Nadine’s mother as Nadine’s boyfriend.After purchasing the gifts, Nadine drove toward her family home. Many of the Gardners were aware that she was coming with her boyfriend because Carlene had informed the family. There were orders that Adrian was not to be stopped from entering the home, thus he and Nadine entered the e
