The Return of the War Legate Chapter 655
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. Eve

Charles was dissatisfied.He gave a cold snort, dusted off his long sleeves, and said, "Hmph, I can't believe it. The mighty War Legate Draco is devoid of manners. St. Elmer's Church is a sacred place, and I won’t allow anyone to trample on it."Blade was furious and wanted to take action, but Mya stopped him.Adrian said, "Father, are you using St. Elmer's Church to assert your dominance over me? You should know that the previous legates of Wyvern Peak, including myself, have bad tempers."Charles sneered, "This is where Saint Elmer rests, and no one has the right to act recklessly here. Not even the emperor himself if he graced us with his presence."Although Charles did not explicitly state his intentions, he had made himself clear to everyone. He wanted to use the church to assert himself in front of War Legate Draco and gain a sense of superiority.This was something Adrian was clearly able to see through.When Charles showed no sign of backing down, Adrian sat on a chair i

For a moment, Charles had no idea what to do. He never thought that War Legate Draco would order his execution.Watching Blade walking toward him with a short blade in hand, Charles panicked and begged, "War Legate Draco, have mercy. P-Please forgive me for my rash behavior!”Adrian chuckled and asked, "What’s the matter? Not going to bring up St. Elmer's Church anymore?"Charles was on the verge of tears. He had only wanted to appear impressive in front of the legate. He never expected to be completely disregarded.He sweated profusely and trembled as he stammered, "I-I was wrong, sir. P-Please forgive me for being rude to you.""Are you scared?" Adrian asked, but Charles did not respond.Seeing this, Adrian sat down and said, "Fine. I’ll give you a chance on account of Saint Elmer’s contributions. Now, where’s Kayn Cross?"Charles gulped and said, "Those of the church would never dare get involved in a war between Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs. I—"“Just answer my question

“Let go of me! Let go!”Kayn was lifted up and dragged by a group of soldiers. A wave of fear overcame him, causing him to struggle relentlessly.Yet, his struggles were obviously in vain.Soon enough, Kayn was dragged in front of Adrian. When he saw Adrian, he was clearly not as calm as he was in the past. Instead, a wave of panic shrouded him.After Kayn was thrown to the ground, he raised his head and looked at Adrian in horror.“We meet again, Clayman,” Adrian smiled at him.Kayn, not knowing what to say, just nodded his head in agreement.Seeing this, Adrian laughed, “It’s unfortunate that we’re meeting under such circumstances despite how mysterious I thought you were when we last met.”Kayn breathed heavily and said, “Sir, I helped you take over Wyvern Peak. You should be thanking me. Is this how you treat your benefactor?”“My benefactor?” Adrian chuckled. “Have you seriously been under that impression this whole time? Come to think of it, I once thought you were the t

However, the reason for the cordoning of St. Elmer's Church was not disclosed, which became a hot topic of discussion among the public.***It was already eleven in the evening by the time Adrian returned home, and Samantha had already fallen asleep. Since getting pregnant, Samantha’s belly had been growing by the day, and so was the baby she was carrying.Adrian took a cold shower before getting into bed, ready to get some rest. However, his phone rang right at that moment.Daniel had sent him a message with a video attached to it. Adrian clicked on the video and discovered that it was about Juno.In the video, Juno was undergoing physical training at ACMA, and it was very evident she was working hard. Despite her legs trembling and her clothes soaked with sweat, she persisted and constantly pushed herself to her limits.After watching the video, Adrian put down his phone and lay down next to Samantha.“Did you find Kayn?” Samantha's voice came just as he lay down.Adrian was

After a whole night of sleep, Adrian had breakfast and headed to the Battle Warrior headquarters in Swallowston.As soon as Adrian arrived downstairs at the department, he saw Shirley anxiously waiting for him.The moment Shirley saw Adrian approaching, she hurried over and said, “Adrian, you're here! I've been waiting for you for so long.”Shirley and her mother, Christina, had moved from Southeast to Swallowston and were temporarily staying at the department, courtesy of Adrian.Last night, Shirley heard that Adrian had managed to apprehend Kayn, which was why she was waiting for Adrian this morning.“What's up?” Adrian asked her.Shirley bit her lip and grabbed Adrian's arm, saying, “I heard that you found Kayn. I’d like to see him. Is that okay? I mean, he's my father, after all.”Adrian took a moment to think before answering Shirley’s question. He shook his head and said, “I can’t let you see him yet.”“Why not?” Shirley said, dissatisfied. “He’s my father. Why can’t I se

“One time when we were drinking, he told me something about Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs. He said that he predicted who the legate of Wyvern Peak would be, and that War Legate Draco owed his position all to his prophecy.“He also said that the next legate of Wyvern Peak would be a woman,” Charles confessed.Mya looked at Adrian and furrowed her brows. “Sir, does this really mean Juno is going to become the next legate?”Adrian did not reply as the decision ultimately rested with him. Ignoring Mya's question, he turned to Charles and said, “So, you’re a drinker, huh? I thought I heard you’ve sworn off alcohol?”Charles replied awkwardly, “Yes, I did. but who could possibly resist having a drink or two sometimes?”“I understand.” Adrian laughed. “So, did you put on that entire show last night just to prove to the world that I’d submit to you?”Charles did not dare to speak.Adrian continued, “Looks like you and I both have a penchant for putting on shows, but that’s not an iss
