“All right.” Adrian ended the communication upon saying that.Mya turned around and looked toward him. “It seems that the meteorite is indeed a huge problem. Will we be informing Crystal about this matter? We have to seal Isle 416 and not let the meteorite fall into the possession of the outland organizations. Otherwise, there’s no telling what will happen.”Adrian nodded and said, “The island is a site of scientific interest. However, we can’t handle this matter casually. Figure out a way to reach out to the elders and draft up a set of scientific plans. We have to send people in batches to perform field study on the island.”“Yes, sir,” Mya answered and exited the sick bay.Adrian and Gloria were left alone in the sick bay. Noticing that Mya had left, Gloria said, “I can see the girl is very loyal to you. I can see that you’re everything to her.”Adrian walked over and sat down in front of Gloria. He stretched out his hand to hold Gloria’s hand and said, “Mya is the heiress of S
After that?Adrian stretched out his hand and pushed back the hair on Gloria’s face. He said, “After that, I went back to see Sam. Then, Internal Affairs’ Chase Gardner began to oppress Wyvern Peak and stopped the supplies coming into Wyvern Peak. In the end, I dissolved Wyvern Peak and stayed dormant for half a year before reassembling it. We stormed into Novemton, eliminated Chase, and overthrew the monarch. The current monarch is Reagan Nave’s daughter, Crystal Nave.”“Crystal?” asked Gloria in surprise.“Yes.”Gloria said, “Crystal and I were in the military school together, and we were close for a little over three months. So it turns out she became the monarch.”Adrian said, “In my opinion, Crystal is the only person capable of holding the post. After she took the position, I handed my authority to the elders and prepared to return home without any thought of meddling in politics anymore. I then decided to come to the island to retrieve your body, never expecting to discover
Other than that, everything else remained unchanged.Three days later, at the harbor where Jacky was stationed, hundreds of people were standing in a line along the coast. There were scientists, doctors, scholars, and chemists among these people, and they were all waiting for NS Trinaga to dock.The headquarters’ medical center had also brought in the most advanced medical equipment in the country in preparation for Gloria’s full body examination and treatment.This morning, Jacky had led the crowd of people to wait quietly at the harbor. Some time passed, then a boat appeared on the horizon.“It’s here!”“War Legate Draco is back!”“Get ready! Get ready everyone. All the troops and the medical professionals!”Honk, honk, honk!NS Trinaga emitted a siren throughout the sea to tell everyone at the harbor that the boat was about to dock in the harbor.Everyone held their breath. This was an earth-shattering, shocking matter to them. A person who was supposedly dead five years ag
Soon afterward, the staff members branched into two teams and immediately began their operation in Jacky’s headquarters. The medical team was in charge of examining Gloria’s body while the scientific research team led by Shane began studying the rock in the laboratory.The scholars gathered information and searched for any sources related to the meteorite.***Adrian entered Jacky’s command post and sat down. He inquired with Jacky about the situation in Novemton.Jacky said, “Apart from protecting the coastline, Her Majesty has given me the order to spare no effort in helping you. On the other hand, she should be arriving with the first elder, third elder, and sixth elder soon.“Her Majesty cares about this matter very much, possibly because this matter will affect our country’s future. We can’t allow the outlands to enter Isle 416. We must gain control of the island.”Adrian listened to Jacky’s report but made no comment.Meanwhile, Celene walked into the room. “Legate, Comman
Crystal said, “What countermeasures do you think we should take right now?”Adrian said, “It’s too early to talk about countermeasures. However, we do have to take control of 416 for the time being. We can use it to our advantage once the meteorite’s mystery has been unveiled and if it is beneficial for us. If it’s both beneficial and harmful to us, we shall sink the island and won’t ever leak this matter to the outside world.”Crystal kept silent.Meanwhile, Celene walked over once again and said, “Your Majesty, Legate, there’s a result from the treatment room. Professor Winslow is asking for all of you.”“All right.”“Let’s go take a look.”Adrian was the first to stand up, and he was joined by Crystal and the others as they headed to the treatment room. More than ten professors and thirty students were having a discussion in the treatment room.Adrian and Crystal walked in.The leader of the medical team was Winslow Moore.Noticing Adrian and Crystal, the crowd said in succ
Upon hearing Adrian’s instructions, Winslow kept quiet for a moment. He then stood up and said, “Sir, this is my duty. I will put in my best efforts to figure out a solution and treat the condition.”“I don’t have much medical knowledge so we’re counting on you.”“Leave it to me, sir,” answered Winslow in determination.Adrian did not comment further. He got up and walked to the room in the treatment room.Noticing that Adrian was leaving, Crystal hastily said, “Adrian, we’ll need you to take the lead on the matters related to Isle 416. I’ve discussed with the elders and have decided to reinstate you as the legate and hand over the authority once again—”Adrian interrupted Crystal, “The head position is yours now. I can set my mind at ease knowing that you’re here.”Crystal had not expected Adrian to decline so quickly. She hastily said, “But you’re the only person capable of leading Wyvern Peak under the current circumstances. I don’t know anything…”Adrian said, “You may consu
The nurses teased Gloria, and she humored them by joining their laughter. Then, the nurses stopped bothering them and left the room.Adrian sat down. Gloria looked at Adrian and said, “I’d like to go out for a walk and tour the city. I want to visit my parents’ graves and see my sister.”Adrian nodded. “Sure. I’ll take you to do it all one by one.”Gloria said, “Most importantly, I’d like to meet Samantha.”“Sure,” Adrian immediately agreed, “I’ll take you to meet her when you’re fully recovered.”Gloria answered with an “mm-hm.”Crystal, the third elder, and the sixth elder walked in. Gloria's gaze fell on Crystal when she saw them. She said in astonishment, “Crystal, is that you?”“It’s been such a long time since we last met, Gloria,” said Crystal smilingly.“It…It has been a long time indeed. It’s been about seven years since we were in military school together, right?” said Gloria.“Yes, about there.”Crystal and Gloria were acquaintances and they used to spend time with
Crystal and the elders left to head back to Novemtom.Adrian and Gloria were left to themselves in the treatment room. They exchanged one glance in unison.Gloria looked at Adrian with a frustrated gaze. Her gaze was filled with an array of emotions. There was the joy of being reunited and the carefreeness of two close friends.Adrian had not felt that for five years.“You sure you won’t regret this?” Gloria asked him.“Regret what?” asked Adrian.Gloria stretched out her hand to straighten Adrian’s collar as she rolled her eyes. “You spent a lot of effort to secure the position of legate. It’s something that many people will spare no effort in becoming, yet you choose to retire after four years. You’re the first legate in the Wyvern Peak’s history to step down after just four years, other than those who died in wars.”Adrian smiled at Gloria and said, “Four years is quite a long time. Also, my body is becoming weaker. There will be a candidate from Wyvern Peak who’s better suit
