The Gardners were stunned when they heard Nadine say this.They all thought of it before, but none of them expected this to be the answer.Looking at how shocked they were, Mya said, “Mr. Lennon, Chase will arrive in a little more than two hours. What will you do when he returns?”Lennon took a deep breath, but Nadine hurriedly said, “Please stop hesitating, Uncle Lennon. I swear to you that everything I’ve said is true, and that’s because I went in there and saw it myself. Do you still remember that blackout that happened at our home a few days ago? That’s when I snuck in.”Lennon turned toward Nadine with a fierce expression, who nodded her head at him. At that moment, he said, “Okay, I’ll go inside with you. However, I will say this first. If we go in there and nothing you’ve said is true, Chase will kill you, Naddy.”“I’m not afraid,” Nadine replied, “I want Father to have a proper burial, and I will stop at nothing to see that happen.”“Fine,” Lennon then turned toward Adria
“Father!”“Father!”Nadine’s aunts wailed.Outside the villa, Adrian and Mya stood in the courtyard, silently listening to the voices coming from within the villa.Mya was clearly shocked as she said, “I’m surprised that the heroic War Legate Achelous wasn’t given a proper burial after his valiant sacrifices.”Adrian remained silent, while Mya turned around to wipe her tears.Approximately ten minutes later, Lennon walked out of the living room, his body trembling vigorously. He led the younger Gardners, whose eyes were also reddened, and stood before Adrian.“What’s going on here, War Legate Draco? Why were my brother's and father’s corpses left inside the villa?”“I’m investigating this matter personally right now, but I don’t have a clear answer for you yet. What I do know is that Chase seems to be looking for something but hasn’t succeeded yet. Moreover, the thing he’s looking for might be around this area, and he was afraid that it might end up being buried with them, henc
Nadine sincerely wanted to leave with Adrian.She did not wish to stay with her family anymore.Adrian looked at Nadine and kept quiet. After a while, he said to her, “Come on then.”Nadine stood up and made her way to Adrian with a joyous expression.Adrian led Nadine to the car and left the Gardner residence.On the other hand, Carlene kept quiet as she watched War Legate Draco departing with her daughter from the villa balcony. In her mind, the prophecy was closer to coming true.Nadine left with Adrian, just as prophesied.Soon afterward, a piece of important information spread throughout Southrive. It was about a group of Wyvern Peak personnel escorting the transportation of a glass coffin to the south. It was rumored that War Legate Draco would bury War Legate Achelous in Heroes Cemetery in the south.This information influenced Southrive.***Not long after Adrian left, a helicopter landed in the courtyard of the Gardner residence. Chase got out with two bodyguards, hi
Chase had been acting as the leader of the family over the years.But even though he was the head of the family, it was really Lennon who sacrificed himself for the family.It was clear that Chase had not expected the situation would be so awkward. He instantly furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Very well. Sisters, it seems that you feel the same way as Lennon, right? You choose to betray me in the end after all that I’ve done for the family.”Chase’s elder sister, Yara, said, “We didn’t betray you. It was you who betrayed the family. You hid our father’s and elder brother’s bodies here and refused to bury them so they may rest in peace. You’ve deceived everyone yet you still haven’t realized what you’ve done.”“I said that I was doing it for the family.”“No, you didn’t do it for the family, but for yourself. You did this so Internal Affairs could deprive the monarch of his roles then you’ll take Novemton for yourself. Let me tell you this. You’re a selfish person who will do anyth
Someone was coming.Thiago’s figure shifted and he instantly vanished from the living room. Following his departure, Chase led a few people into the villa from the outside.Carlene composed herself and looked toward the man. “You’re here, Chase.”Chase furrowed his eyebrows. “Who were you talking to earlier, Carlene?”Carlene smiled. “No one. Naddy called me and told me that she couldn’t find her party dress. Why? What brings you to me?”It was apparent that Chase did not believe Carlene but there was nothing he could do to her for the time being. He glanced around the room and said, “Carlene, you should know that it won’t end well for you to lie to me. If you tell me the whereabouts of the Dragon Medallion, perhaps Naddy and you will need not worry about anything else for the rest of your lives.”“How many times have I told you about Chad’s sudden passing? I didn’t even manage to see him one last time. I have no idea about the Dragon Medallion,” Carlene replied.“It’d be best i
Black Nergal was one of the five major organizations in the outlands.It was founded by Navia’s enemy countries in the outlands to resist Wyvern Peak. One could describe Black Nergal as Wyvern Peak’s destroyer.The organization was established by the different enemy countries and was ruled by a board of directors. A large number of soldiers were trained to fight against Navia’s Wyvern Peak.Meanwhile, a meeting was called to order in Black Nergal’s headquarters in the outlands. It was chaired by Black Nergal’s middle management, Silas Dragan.Meanwhile, a video call came in and startled everyone in the meeting room.“Where is this call coming from?” Silas stopped speaking, turned around, and asked.“It’s from Navia’s Gardner family, Draking.”“Is it from Chase?”Silas was shocked and puzzled. He immediately ordered his subordinate to connect the call. When the video came through, Chase showed up on the screen.Noticing the situation, Silas asked, “Mr. Chase, it has been a long
Northzone was located at the border of Navia.Heroes Cemetery was built here and countless of Wyvern Peak’s outstanding soldiers had been buried here.It was snowing heavily in Northzone this morning and the winds that blew through were piercingly cold. Endless white snow covered the mountainous area of Northzone. The tombstones and headstones in Heroes Cemetery located halfway up the mountain were also completely covered in snow.Heroes Cemetery, which was usually calm, appeared unusually oppressive today. More than ten soldiers carrying a glass coffin trudged through the cemetery, leaving footprints in the snow. A few other soldiers were digging a grave with great effort.Mya directed these soldiers to create a resting place for War Legate Achelous. Dressed in his war legate’s battle suit, Adrian stood quietly outside the cemetery.Next to him was Nadine who was clad in a cotton jacket. She covered her mouth and felt helpless in the face of the situation.“Legate, the grave has
“Is that a Luposian?” Nadine widened her eyes in disbelief.A Luposian managed to show up in Navia’s Northzone territory. Where were Internal Affairs’ federation guards?“B*stard!” Nadine cussed.Adrian did not speak. He gazed in the direction of the natural moat nonchalantly as if there was a huge responsibility waiting for him there.“I hope you’re well, Draco.”A voice came into Adrian’s ears. The approaching man walked into the cemetery, threw away the bazooka in his hands, and greeted Adrian with a smile.It was Lonewolf.Just as Chase had mentioned, he had opened up the entrance in Northzone and let Lonewolf in. A group of enemies from the outlands were watching the scene as well.Lonewolf’s mission was to kill Draco.Upon hearing Lonewolf’s remark, Adrian shifted his gaze from the natural moat ever so slightly and landed on Lonewolf. He said, “Is Black Nergal losing its members? Haven’t you given up on this so-called dream of yours by now?”Adrian was not acquainted wi
