“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
Crack!An intense shock radiated through Lonewolf’s body. He felt as if his internal organs were shattered by the shock at this very moment and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.Lonewolf’s mouth widened in surprise and he tried to get up on his feet with great effort. However, Adrian stepped on his shoulder until he could not budge.A gush of surging force suppressed Lonewolf. This was the first time feeling such an irresistible force that restrained his body so ferociously despite his years of training in Black Nergal.He was in complete shock at this very moment. He never expected Draco to be so tough.“Gah!” Lonewolf let out another agonizing scream from the force Adrian exerted on him.Soon afterward, Adrian continued to push his foot down until Lonewolf’s shoulder was completely broken and a spray of fresh blood spurted out from the wound. Only then did he stop ever so slightly.Lonewolf was already shaking profusely. He figured that it would be difficult for him to stand
Then, he stopped at Luposia’s natural moat and shouted to Adrian who stood at Heroes Cemetery, “Frankly, you’re nothing, Draco. I’m not in good condition today. I’ll make sure you die the next time we meet!”He roared, “I will kill you to avenge my father! Hah-hah-hah!”When he was done roaring, Lonewolf tilted his head back and laughed maniacally. Then, he turned around and ran toward Luposia.However, just as he turned around, he suddenly slammed into someone and almost fell to the ground.“Who is it?!” Lonewolf roared.He got to his feet and was about to berate the person when he saw who was standing before him. He was instantly astounded and became stunned.Adrian had appeared within Luposia’s territory without his notice and was looking at him with a calm expression.Lonewolf shook profusely. He was under the assumption that he had escaped from War Legate Draco earlier so he could not refrain from making righteous remarks at Adrian.He had not expected War Legate Draco to
Lonewolf was no longer laughing.He looked down at the arm penetrating his chest, then up at Adrian standing before him. Overcome by shock, he started to break down.Lonewolf regretted his action at last. From his expression, it was clear that he was filled with fear. In fact, he had burst into tears.He had no idea what to do now and would not have taunted Adrian after running away if he knew this would happen. His being in this situation was a result of his own actions.Although Adrian was expressionless, Lonewolf could feel the cold, murderous intent emanating from him.Lonewolf never expected this to happen. Tears of fear and despair streamed down his face and he said in a shaky voice, “W-War Legate Draco, I-I was wrong. I was wrong!”Lonewolf was crying profusely. He never expected this.“Are you comfortable?” asked Adrian.Adrian’s voice was nonchalant and casual, but to Lonewolf, it sounded like a voice from hell.Lonewolf trembled from head to toe. “War Legate Draco, I
Nadine was stunned.She appeared puzzled by Adrian’s sudden question.“What are you talking about? What do you mean ‘where’s the item?’” asked Nadine in puzzlement.Mya looked at Nadine with a smile on her face. She shook her head but made no comment.Adrian said, “Where’s the item that your mother hid away?”Nadine was still rather confused. However, she slowly came to understand his question.Adrian was referring to the medallion.Nadine said, “Are you talking about the Dragon Medallion?”Adrian nodded.Nadine said in astonishment, “How do you find out about the medallion? My mother hasn’t breathed a word of it to you.”Adrian looked at Nadine as if he was looking at a fool.Mya sniggered and said, “Ms. Nadine, Draco is the leader of Wyvern Peak. If Chase, who isn’t a member of Wyvern Peak, knows about the Dragon Medallion, how could War Legate Draco possibly not know about it?”“Since all of you know about the Dragon Medallion, why did you act like you didn’t? What’s goi
Adrian had barely spoken this whole time, and Nadine was having a hard time reading his mind.She kept quiet for a while upon hearing Mya’s statement. A few minutes later, she asked, “How about the rest of the Gardners?”“Chase has imprisoned them too,” Adrian replied.Nadine appeared to be rather dejected and lowered her head once again.Perhaps understanding what Nadine was thinking, Adrian said, “Come back to Swallowston with me and we’ll plan what to do next.”Nadine nodded and did not comment further. Her life had taken a drastic turn all of a sudden and had no idea what her future looked like.The only thing she knew was that she was now all alone.***The helicopter landed in Swallowston at three in the afternoon.Adrian took Nadine to Swallowston and planned to let her stay here for a while. He tasked Mya with continuing the investigation into the related matters.Meanwhile, Adrian took Nadine to One Jewel Road after both of them disembarked the helicopter.Along the
Just as the trio was chatting away happily, Nadine walked over.She greeted, “Umm… Hey, everyone!”The three women turned their heads in unison upon hearing this and looked at Nadine. Joanna and Sarah immediately whispered to one another upon seeing the woman.Joanna said, “Are you seeing this, Sarah? Your godpa brought home a woman.”Sarah said, “She’s very pretty and much more mature than me.”Joanna grunted. “A beautiful woman usually isn’t a good woman.”Sarah looked at Joanna in a daze upon hearing this remark.Joanna hastily corrected herself as if she had noticed her slip of the tongue, “Umm, aside from the three of us, other beautiful women are not good women.”Sarah was rendered speechless.As the two whispered to one another, Samantha stood up and said, “You’re Nadine, right?”Samantha had called Adrian five times daily at the very least over the past few days. Being a competent wife, she had learned about this woman from the phone calls.Nadine sized up Samantha.
The three women burst out in laughter upon hearing Joanna’s remark.Joanna was a bubbly person and would only show this side of her to people who were sincere to her.Adrian was rendered speechless by Joanna’s words.Samantha was laughing so hard that she was bent over double.On the other hand, Joanna was still glaring at Adrian provokingly. He surrendered by ignoring her and said to Sarah, “Aren’t you living on your own, Sarah? How about having Nadine accompany you? Let her stay at your place for a bit.”“Okay, godpa.” Sarah made an okay hand gesture and winked at him.“Godpa?” Nadine’s eyes widened in surprise.Joanna chuckled and said, “Oh, you don’t know, Nadine. On the surface, Sarah appears cold and arrogant. But on the inside, she’s a masochist.”Nadine was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.Adrian was rendered completely speechless by these two. One would always bring up explicit topics during conversations while the other non-stop addressed him as “godpa.” He had
