Upon hearing Willow’s words, Adrian wiped away his tears. “He taught you quite a fair bit.”“Yes, he did,” Willow said, “Denzel doted on me and always has since I was young. He’d advise me via phone calls frequently and wanted me to be a useful person when I grow up. Yet, I’ve let him down.”“A useful person?” Adrian asked, “What does it mean to become a useful person?”Willow said, “Denzel said that the act of becoming a useful person is to accomplish one’s dreams. One shouldn’t be tempted by fame and riches and to have their own dreams. One should do the things that they want and dare to do it. That’s what it means to be useful.“Even if one’s efforts are wasted and one is severely injured, one still needs to march forward courageously regardless of nature. This is because every single person is undefeated.”Adrian chuckled in a self-mocking way upon hearing Willow’s words. “Denzel was right. He was a hero of high caliber and an outstanding brother.”“It’s a waste that he’s gon
It was a waste that Draco was no longer.Draco did not exist in this world anymore.Even after the villagers of Hedgeville requested Adrian to leave retirement in a high-spirited manner, it did not change his attitude toward this matter.Denzel was gone, and he had already fulfilled Denzel’s dream of becoming the leader of Wyvern Peak. He realized that Denzel’s so-called dream was just an act of self-gratification when he came to hold this high position.There was already nothing left of this position that Adrian looked forward to.***Adrian turned around and stood facing Denzel’s tomb.Willow and the villagers looked at him in anticipation.However, Adrian did not speak. He bowed to the tomb before turning around and walking into the distance.Willow was stunned, and so were the villagers.On the other hand, Adrian’s figure was moving into the distance.“We’ll die if we lose you, War Legate Draco!” Willow called out and took a few steps forward to go after him.Hedgeville
Internal Affairs’ Prefect Sentries stationed at the campsite were awakened by the explosion. They quickly got up and grabbed their weapons.“We’re under attack!”“We’re under attack!”Wee-woo!The air-raid siren was sounded.The soldiers at the eastern border moat began firing at each other.The people living in the surrounding area were awakened by the intense battle noises.***The next morning, Novemton was in chaos.Countless news of the war flooded all channels.Novemton’s front page story stated, “Luposia carried out a surprise attack on Navia’s eastern border moat last night. The war has begun. The war has begun.”The Luposians were here!When the news had spread over the inlands, everyone widened their eyes in surprise. They were taken aback. No one had expected Luposia would invade the country when it was close to the new year.“F*ck! The Luposians are abominable. How dare they provoke us!”“It’s time for Internal Affairs’ Prefect Sentries to come into the pictur
Ignoring the news, Adrian took Samantha to Swallowston Hospital.Samantha received all sorts of prenatal tests.Adrian kept Samantha company through each of the tests. But even though he kept her company, she did not feel joy because she knew that he was heartbroken despite not mentioning anything.Samantha did not expose him either.In the doctor’s office, the female doctor read Samantha’s test results and said, “Samantha, right? You’re doing rather well. Now’s the time for the baby to grow so you should rest more and set your mind at ease for the delivery.”Samantha cracked a sincere smile upon hearing that and turned her head to look at Adrian.Adrian expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, doctor.”The female doctor smiled in response.Samantha and Adrian left the hospital as they read through the test results.Samantha said, “Our baby will be born in a few more months. I look forward to the baby’s arrival and wonder what they will look like.”Adrian smiled at Samantha and s
Adrian’s plate dropped and shattered on the floor when he heard Ivy’s words.Samantha was stunned as well.Both of them had just left Hedgeville a few days ago, and the villagers there had begged for him to come out of retirement. Yet today, they were killed?“Why is this happening?” Samantha said in a daze.“That’s not all. The eastern border, western border, Southzone, Northzone, and other locations of the moat are under attack. In fact, the outlander’s organizations such as Black Nergal, Luciferism, Bloody Rose, and others have joined hands to take us out,” said Ivy.“There are wars everywhere, and the people are in fear. Internal Affairs’ Chase is furious and the monarch has also dispatched numerous orders to intercept the enemies. However, it seems that the Prefect Sentries won’t be able to hold out for much longer,” Ivy continued.Adrian got another plate and continued to eat.The few women were watching Adrian’s reaction.Eira said, “Two hundred thousand Prefect Sentries
Upon saying that, Joanna pursed her lips and shook her head in frustration.Even though she felt that Adrian’s effort was unworthy, she felt that everyone had to pay a price for everything.Joanna added by saying, “You’re no god, of course. You can’t create miracles. Hence, you don’t need to bother too much. There’s a price to everything in this world. One will never accomplish anything without paying a price.“However, the price that those people have to pay for the current situation is a little high.”Joanna would always defend her point to the end. However, she knew better than anyone else in her heart.She stuck her hands into her jacket pockets and stood in the observatory with Adrian for a long time.All of a sudden, snowflakes floated down from the sky. One could see that it was snowing just by raising one’s head.Joanna stretched out her hand and caught a speck. The snow quickly melted on her hand as she said, “We’re warm, and the snow melts when it comes into contact wi
Upon hearing these words, Chase said, “Are the Prefect Sentries incapable of dealing with a bunch of ruffians and thugs? Dispatch my order. Have the Prefect Sentries from all locations head to the battlefield for support immediately.“Send out the capable Prefect Sentries to protect our moat at all costs.”The crowd exchanged glances with each other upon hearing Chase’s orders.Someone asked, “We’ll need to come up with a strategy, right? If we don’t have a plan, we won’t win no matter how many people we send in.”“That’s right, Mr. Chase. Do you have a good plan to save the country from its difficult situation?”The crowd trusted and followed Chase’s order. However, they knew it was utterly useless to send in people without a plan no matter how much they trusted him.Chase fell into deep thought. He then said, “Organizations like Black Nergal, Luciferism, and Bloody Rose are incapable of threatening us. It’s only a matter of time before we win the battle. We just need to send in
Windton—the city where Chase’s ten houses were located—appeared to be in chaos.The people were dashing about on the streets and cars congested the roads.Honk, honk, honk!The sound of car horns was heard continuously.“I heard that Hangton is about to be invaded soon. They’re less than five hundred miles away from Windton. Pack your things now. We’re going to Southrive to take refuge!”“Reach out to all our families. We have to leave Windton within two days!”“We can’t just do nothing and await our doom here. Let's take refuge in Southrive!”Many sentiments like these were heard throughout Windton. This city was very near to the outlands. If the outlands invaded the city, it would be razed to the ground.No one cared about the ten houses, Internal Affairs, or Wyvern Peak at this very moment. All they cared about was their lives.They wanted to live!***“Chaos. It’s chaos. Every part of Windton is in chaos!”In the Cook family home, Elaine stood on the balcony and gazed a
