The Return of the War Legate Chapter 649
Gabriel’s earlier arrogance had completely vanished, and in its place was boundless fear.The situation had far surpassed his imagination. This was supposed to be an easy task but judging by the current situation, Shirley had no need to fear him anymore.He should be the one fearing her now.Shirley was disgusted by the sight of Gabriel. This was the man who claimed to be a king earlier. But now, he was kneeling on the ground like a coward.There was a saying, “There is nothing permanent except change.”“Sigh!” Shirley shook her head and let out a long sigh, feeling emotional.On the other hand, Gabriel was trembling like a leaf. Large droplets of sweat streamed down his face and tears were continuously flowing from his eyes.Noticing that Adrian was quiet, he continued to beg for mercy. “Sir, I’ve truly realized that I was wrong. I was too rash in handling this matter today. Please spare me, sir!”Gabriel burst into tears. His subordinates had already backed out of the room in

Adrian chuckled and said, “Even if Chase himself were here, he wouldn’t get any respect from me, let alone you.”Gabriel panicked and bowed to beg for mercy. “Please, Legate!”Adrian said upon seeing him bow, “No need to panic. I’m not planning to kill you.”Gabriel was relieved upon hearing Adrian’s words.Adrian then asked, “Tell me, Gabriel. Has Internal Affairs located Kayn yet?”Gabriel said without any hesitation, “Sir, Chase dispatched the order all over the country to search for Kayn. However, his whereabouts are yet to be located. Hence, Chase ordered us to capture Shirley and her mother so Kayn would be compelled to show up.”“What are the places you’ve searched?” Adrian questioned.Gabriel thought about it and quickly answered, “We’ve been looking all over Southeast, and almost all of Internal Affairs were mobilized for the task. We’re also searching within Southrive but we don’t dare to draw attention because that place is mostly under your organization’s control.”

Gabriel inhaled a deep breath upon hearing Adrian’s remark.Gabriel asked, “So, you said Wyvern Peak will protect me. Is your promise still valid, Legate? If Chase finds out that I told you, he’ll surely kill me.”Adrian stood up and said, “Take your family, relatives, and money to Swallowston. Half of Southrive’s areas are guarded by Wyvern Peak. Chase won’t be able to kill you there.”“Thank you, sir. Umm… I shall make a move then.”Upon saying that, Gabriel hastily stood up and ran home to pack. Today was the day that his life had changed so drastically.Adrian stood up after Gabriel and the others were gone. Shirley grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, “Sir, how’s my mother? Did you find her?”Adrian answered, “Don’t worry. My people have already picked her up and she’s on the way here. She should be home in about an hour.”“Thank goodness.”Shirley was relieved. Suddenly, she was struck by an idea and muttered, “There’s still another hour. That’s plenty of time.”As she s

Coke?Adrian was stunned. He looked at Shirley in puzzlement. “What’s a coke?”“It’s cola!”“What’s a cola?” Adrian was still puzzled.“Dumbo. It’s Coca-cola.” Shirley felt speechless. “You’re War Legate Draco, yet you don’t know what coke is?”Adrian was well-versed in astronomy, geography, and history and was even skilled in various trades and mystiques. Yet, he did not know what coke was.Adrian ignored Shirley. However, the girl tirelessly brought up topic after topic, pushing him to frustration. He came to realize that Shirley was more bothersome than Nadine.Nadine was just slightly more spontaneous and not as talkative. Shirley, on the other, was just talkative.While being bombarded by Shirley’s questions, Adrian found for the first time in his life that time could pass so slowly.Meanwhile, Shirley giggled and said, “Sir, I have a few best friends who admire you very, very much. I also have a best friend who has a photo of you in your battle suit hanging in her room.

On the way back to Swallowston after leaving Southeast, Blade drove while he and Adrian chatted.Their topic of conversation revolved around Windton’s ten houses.Christina and Shirley listened to their conversation but could not join in.Judging by the current situation, Windton’s ten houses were Chase’s stronghold. Even if Chase were to suffer a setback in his current position, he still had a route of retreat.It was apparent that the ten houses would serve as his retreat.According to what Gabriel said earlier, these ten houses had been recruiting members—people with the same last names throughout Navia. It looked like they were planning on forming a country that belonged to them in Windton.Adrian managed to figure this out.***Blade and Adrian talked for a while before Blade asked Adrian about his next step as he continued to drive.He asked, “Judging by the current situation, Chase has already planned a route of retreat for himself, sir. Windton’s houses are his route o

Adrian did not answer her directly.Instead, he smiled and said, “Don’t overthink this, Mrs. Christina. There are certain things that are beyond your understanding at times.”Christina stopped speaking and leaned into Shirley’s embrace.***On the same afternoon, Adrian returned to Swallowston with the mother and daughter. Upon arriving, he arranged for them to stay in the original Battle Warrior Tower.Adrian instructed Christina to look for a rental house and to get a stable job as soon as possible so they could live in Swallowston from now on. After that, he called Mya and ordered her to continue the search for Kayn. He told her that he would go over immediately if there was any update.Adrian returned home after he was done managing these matters. It was already dusk by now.In One Jewel Road, Samantha, Joanna, and Rue were preparing to have dinner when Adrian walked into the villa.Noticing that Adrian was home, Joanna hastily said, “Yikes! You’re home, big hero. I thought

Rue’s remark puzzled Adrian, Samantha, and Joanna for a moment.The three of them looked toward her in unison.Rue sat down while Samantha asked, “Mother, where is this place that you’re referring to?”“Yeah. Where is it?” Joanna urged.Rue smiled and looked toward Adrian. “Adrian, do you still remember where you met Kayn on two separate occasions?”Adrian was astounded. However, he was enlightened the next moment.He said, “Mother, are you referring to St. Elmer’s Church?”Rue nodded smilingly. “That’s right. If Kayn is still in Swallowston, it’s possible that St. Elmer’s Church is his only hiding spot. I know that there are a few basements in the back of the church.”“That’s right. Why haven’t I thought of that? The most dangerous place can be the safest at times. Kayn is surely hiding in the church.” Joanna was enlightened too.Samantha hastily nodded. “Mother is right. Adrian, go and check out the place quickly. Perhaps, he really is hiding at the church.”One could say t

Before the deacon said another word, the sound of car engines could be heard outside, indicating that several cars had parked outside the church.Charles slowly stood up from his meditation cushion and clasped his hands together."Stay here. I’ll handle this man from Wyvern Peak," he said to his deacon.The deacon obediently stepped back.As Charles walked out of the meditation room, he heard footsteps outside. A dozen guards were already stationed outside the room. Just then, Adrian, dressed in his battle suit and with a mask covering his face, strode in with Mya and Blade."Are you the priest of St. Elmer's Church?" Adrian asked as his eyes swept the room.Charles nodded. "That’s correct. I go by the name of Cassius. What brings you here at this hour of the night, War Legate Draco?""I'm looking for Kayn Cross," Adrian replied.Charles remained expressionless and his hands clasped together as he said, "There are only two people here at St. Elmer's Church—me and my deacon.
