“Are you really that strong?”Reagan’s eyes locked onto Adrian.The fact that Adrian remained undefeated over the past four years was enough to prove that he was one of the strongest legates throughout Wyvern Peak’s history.Reagan lamented and said, “Times really have changed. In the past, all of the legates of Wyvern Peak were mature-looking men. Who would’ve thought a young man like yourself would end up being selected? You’re probably the youngest person to become famous in Wyvern Peak to date.“Your undefeated record is probably tough for anyone to beat, even for Achelous!”Despite the years he had spent in the world and how far away he was, his loyalty toward Wyvern Peak remained unwavering. Although he himself was not a member of Wyvern Peak, his brotherhood with Achelous began because of it.“It’s a pity that Wyvern Peak ended up being dissolved despite how famous War Legate Draco is,” Mya said after heaving a sigh.Reagan was instantly stunned when he heard this. “What
“No!”Reagan shook his head. “You can’t just sit back and do nothing, Draco. You do realize that there’s a chance these people may be in control of Dragon Peak if the Eight Hollows have revealed themselves. When that happens, the world will be in chaos. Are you really able to watch as countless lives are lost and their blood spill all over our lands by not having Wyvern Peak take action?”“I’ve done what I should and everything I could. I don’t belong to anyone from now on, nor does anyone own me.“Cheers!” Adrian smiled and held up his mug before clinking it with Reagan’s. After that, he downed his drink once more.Helpless, Reagan heaved a sigh and said, “We live in such a cold world. Everyone’s willing to follow the person who wants them dead but refuses to listen to the one who’s capable of protecting them. The world’s becoming more and more realistic by the day.”Samantha looked up at Reagan all of a sudden. “Mr. Reagan, the only ones in the world who’d protect you with their
Meanwhile, Adrian departed from Reagan’s place with Samantha and Mya.Mya could not refrain from asking hesitantly, “Sir, why did you come to see Reagan today? I can see that he has already lost all hope in life.”Since Reagan had chosen to live in seclusion, it meant that he was not planning to return to the modern world anymore. For a person born into a powerful, influential family, his personality was closely associated with that of weaklings.“Only a person who has lost all hope can create hope again,” said Adrian while he walked.Mya was extremely puzzled.“What do you mean? Could Reagan bring some sort of hope to the people?” asked Mya.“Reagan still has it in him so if he can bring himself to leave Mount Pallor, he will still be able to draw support from many Navians,” said Adrian.Mya rolled her eyes. In truth, she did not regard Reagan as the man he was back in those years. She said, “I don’t agree. In my perception, Reagan’s willpower is gone. Even if he were to leave
Samantha asked, “How do you know about Reagan’s daughter, dear? You haven’t joined Wyvern Peak yet at that time, right?”Adrian answered, “In truth, I began investigating the incident when I joined Wyvern Peak, and I found out that Reagan has a living daughter. I already sent someone to protect her in secret at her place of residence a few years ago.”Mya was enlightened. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “So what’s your intention? Are you really planning on getting the women to do things for you? That seems insane to me.”“Nothing is insane in this world. There’s only right or wrong,” said Adrian.“Even if that is the case, I feel that it’s not realistic for you to serve a woman. God knows what sort of person Crystal is. What if she is a deadbeat?” Mya refuted.Adrian looked toward Mya, “Based on my understanding, Crystal is a wise, capable woman. Her view of the world is different from yours and others. Moreover, I’ve already chosen her.”Samantha said, “Is the act of serving Cr
Adrian and the others entered the forest and arrived at an area near the commotion.There was a campsite in the forest ahead and there were a few tents scattered around the area. There was no doubt that the screams came from the campsite.Adrian spotted more than ten guards in suits around the campsite and a mountain bike parked nearby. The sound of women’s screaming was heard coming from the tents. It sounded like they were trying to resist something.All of a sudden, a series of screams was heard followed by someone’s raging roar. A few young men were dragged out of their tents by the guards. The women in the tents were still screaming and sounds of men’s angry scolding could be heard occasionally.Ayden was among the young men pulled out by the guards.“What’s going on? What happened?” Samantha was puzzled by the scene that she was witnessing.Mya instantly recognized Ayden. She turned her head and glanced at Adrian. “Sir, it seems like those people who came with us earlier ha
Ayden was unsettled.The young men with him who boasted about hiring online commenters to scold War Legate Draco were completely dumbfounded.They were rendered speechless.***Meanwhile, Adrian and the others who witnessed everything from nearby had already figured out the situation.Mya turned her head and asked Adrian, “Sir, should we get involved?”“Don’t meddle in other people’s matters.”Upon saying that, Adrian urged Samantha to keep walking.Adrian, Samantha, and Mya walked into the campsite. His intention was not to meddle in the situation, but this was the only path to return to Mount Pallor’s tourist spot.bodyguards and Ayden were shocked to find three people suddenly showing up in the forest.Ayden immediately recognized Adrian as soon as he saw Adrian. ‘Isn’t that the man who drove us here?’“Sir, my girlfriend isn’t pretty. Look at those two women. They’re absolutely stunning. Mr. Levi will like them for sure.” Ayden pointed at the approaching Samantha and Mya
“Aaah!”The sound of agonizing screams was heard coming from the forest as Adrian walked further away.One could imagine what was happening in the forest based on the agonizing screams.Samantha wanted to get Adrian to help them because of her kind nature. But she then recalled that when he protected the people, they insulted him, so she gave up on the idea.Mya was similarly frustrated.The people took it upon themselves to instigate public opinion online and forced the dismissal of Wyvern Peak. Today, they were hurt by Internal Affairs that they supported.It was Ayden’s most regretful decision he had ever made.***Soon, Adrian led Samantha and Mya out of the forest and arrived at Mount Pallor’s tourist spot. It was crowded with people as usual, and no one knew what was happening in the forest.With no plans to stay on Mount Pallor any longer, Adrian took the two women back to the hotel.Adrian went to take a shower upon arriving at the hotel. Samantha sat on the bed watch
Following the widespread of this incident in Pallorton, someone posted something on the same night.It was a post about War Legate Draco, who had been missing for close to a month, suddenly showing up in Mount Pallor’s restricted zone this afternoon.Moreover, a photo was attached.The people of Novemton were shocked upon receiving the news.Someone leaked the information that War Legate Draco had shown up at the murder scene of Mount Pallor’s eight murder cases. The online community berated him harshly as soon as the information came to light.Someone thought that these eight people were not attacked by a wolf pack but were murdered by War Legate Draco.The online community was flooded with public opinions and invectives once again.Countless people were condemning Draco with harsh abuses.Someone posted, “F*ck. I knew that Draco was not a good man. He went missing for such a long time. Turns out he’s been hiding in Mount Pallor’s restricted zone. And now, he has killed so man
