“Bring it here,” said Adrian.“Yes, sir,” Martin answered and procured the book.Adrian placed it on the table, beckoned, and said, “Take a look, everyone. We shall discuss strategy after everyone is done reading.”The battle warriors stood around the book and read it in silence while Adrian continued to eat.About fifteen minutes later, Lucas put down the book and said, “We’re done, sir.”Adrian asked, “Any opinion?”Lucas inhaled a deep breath. “My only opinion is that the book is amazing. How can someone in the past possibly know the future like the back of their hand? In fact, this person knew about us as well.”Caine said, “You’re right. It’s clear that this has surpassed our logical thinking and is way beyond our thinking methods. The contents of the book are unbelievable.”Adrian smiled upon hearing these opinions and then looked toward the elders, observing their expressions.When the elders were done reading, Adrian smiled and said, “Elders, do you find the book incre
The elders nodded upon hearing Adrian’s orders.The current situation was confusing, and Wyvern Peak could only investigate the situation after eliminating Chase and gaining full authority. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to do anything with Internal Affairs obstructing their way.The tenth elder said, “In view of the current situation, we should prioritize Internal Affairs’ Chase. We elders will investigate the Eight Hollows while you eliminate Chase as soon as possible, Draco.”The first elder said, “Looks like that that's the only way now. However, your two-year term of being the legate is almost up, Draco. Wyvern Peak has already been dissolved now, so there’s no way to choose a new one. We have discussed it and decided to extend your term to four years according to our usual practice.”In the past, the next generation’s war legate was chosen through various tryouts. However, the tryouts could not be held in Wyvern Peak for the time being so the election of a new war
As the women giggled, Juno left the female dormitory. She asked a janitorial staff and found the location of Adrian’s residence.She knocked on the door upon arriving at his room. “Adrian, open up. It’s me.”Adrian opened the door and found Juno standing outside. He said in puzzlement, “It’s late. Why aren’t you back in your dorm sleeping yet?”Juno walked into the room and immediately sat at Adrian’s bedside. She said, “I just ended the day’s training. I’m so exhausted that I’m about to crumble!”Upon saying that, Juno laid down on the bed and stretched her body. “What brought you to Azure Creek, Brother? I heard that the battle warriors are here too. Tell me. Maybe I can come up with some ideas for you.”Adrian poured a glass of water for Juno and said, “You shouldn’t bother yourself with this matter. Concentrate on your assignments so that you can take over my position in the future.”Juno stuck out her tongue at Adrian. She took the glass of water from him and said, “Are you
Adrian and Juno chatted for a while more before Juno returned to her dorm to rest.The next day, Adrian did not plan to stay any longer in Azure Creek and so parted ways with Lucas and the rest. Before he left Azure Creek, he ordered Lucas, Raquel, and the others to return to Swallowston while he departed from Azure Creek to Windton.After briefing Lucas and the others, Adrian said, “Go back and tell Mya that I will meet her in Windton two days from now.”Lucas nodded. “All right, we shall part ways here. There are some of our people at Windton too.”Adrian did not comment further and got into the car. However, he remembered someone and asked, “Oh right, Lucas. Where’s Barry?”Lucas answered, “I sent the lad back to Swallowston. He’s there currently.”“Okay. See you later.”Upon saying that, Adrian drove away.After watching him depart, Lucas turned around to look at the others. “We should head to Swallowston now that the legate has left. I heard that there are a few Bloody Ros
After two days of arduous traveling, Adrian was starving.He looked over the hotel and walked into the building.“Welcome, handsome!” a woman wearing a uniform approached him and said with a respectful smile.Adrian sized up the hotel and found that although it was small, there were quite a number of people eating there. He found himself a table and took a seat. He raised his head and said to the beautiful woman, “Uh, pretty miss, I’d like to meet your boss. Can you please help me to get him?”The woman was stunned and smiled at Adrian while she said, “Handsome, I’m the owner of this establishment.”“What?” Adrian rubbed his eyes and said in a gloomy tone, “Mya didn’t tell me that Blaze was a woman. Don’t tell me that you’re a man who has undergone gender-reassignment surgery.”The woman sniggered and said, “Ah, I see. You’re looking for Blaze huh? You should’ve told me earlier. That’s my husband. Are you his comrade?”Adrian was enlightened and hastily said, “Uh, I’m sorry for
Phoebe could not refrain herself from complimenting War Legate Draco because it was her first time meeting him.Adrian was not bothered by this. Blaze and he began sipping coffee.Blaze said, “Sir, there are ten houses in Windton comprised of Easter House, Vega House, Cook, King, Westfall, Dunn, and others. Eighty-five percent of the people in this city have these last names and Chase’s spies are everywhere here. It won’t be easy to conduct an investigation here.”This was precisely the mischief that Chase was up to in secret.The people from the ten houses made up eighty-five percent of the city’s total population and the ten houses followed Chase’s leadership. If he grows powerful here, it would have a significant impact on the country.One could say that Chase was the wealthiest man in the country and that he had no lack of money.Adrian took a sip of coffee and looked at Blaze. “How many comrades do we have in Windton?”“Four to five thousand,” answered Blaze.When Wyvern P
Blaze said, “If I’m not mistaken, they keep their information hidden underground. They’ve fortified their basements with traps and keep it very well-hidden so that they can’t be found easily.”Upon hearing this, Adrian glanced at Blaze. “So, one would need to acquire the information openly for sure. Or, we should say that one would need to do it by force.”Blaze agreed. However, he added by saying, “The problem is, they’ll burn the information without any hesitation if they find out about our motive. So, we have a bit of a dilemma.”Adrian shrugged. Things would not work out if they were to do it sneakily due to the vast amount of information. But if they were to do it openly and forcefully, their efforts would be in vain if the houses were to burn the information.Adrian kept quiet for a long time. After a while, he said to Blade, “Go and meet Alan tonight while I take a stroll around Windton to figure out a plan.”“Okay, sir. I’ll meet up with Alan tonight.”Adrian nodded and d
Alan jumped up from the sofa upon receiving the text and called out to his sister who was in her room. “Elaine, I’m heading out!”Elaine walked out of her room and asked, “Where are you going?”“Blaze invited me out for a drink,” answered Alan.Elaine stamped her foot in rage upon hearing this. She said to Alan, “Will you please make some normal friends? You should stay away from Wyvern Peak’s members. Don’t associate with them because it’s not good for you!”Elaine did not have a favorable impression of Wyvern Peak because she was born into Cook house. She heard from her grandfather that Wyvern Peak was their enemy. Hence, she had always felt unsettled about Alan’s identity as a soldier of Wyvern Peak.She wanted Alan to distance himself from Wyvern Peak.Alan did not mind Elaine’s remark and answered casually, “We’re just going for some drinks. I’ll be going now!”He headed downstairs upon saying that.Elaine heaved a sigh. However, she could not rest easy knowing that Alan w
