Chapter 231

“You’re not welcomed here, Adrian,” Leonard and Wilfred said.Ignoring them, Adrian pulled out a chair and sat down, while Riley stood quietly by his side.After sitting down, Adrian picked up a copy of the documents before him and looked through them. ‘These must be Paraiso’s latest operation plans.’Seeing this, Wilfred and Leonard exchanged looks, confused as to what Adrian was planning to do.Meanwhile, Jaden rested against his chair and was all smiles. He was actually curious about what Adrian planned to do.At that moment, Leonard asked, “Why have you brought him here, Riley? Get him out of here this instant!”Riley replied, “You’ve become the most powerful shareholder ever since you obtained all of Paraiso’s shares from Grandfather. Do you still not see what’s happening here?”“What are you trying to say, Riley?” Leonard asked in a furious tone.Riley chose to remain silent, knowing that Leonard would not listen to a word she said at that moment. After all, both Wilfred

Leonard became enraged when he saw how adamant Riley was.He became so infuriated with his daughter that he desperately wanted to walk up to her and give her a slap.However, before he could act on his thoughts, Adrian finished reading the documents before him and raised his head. Looking at Jaden, he said, “You’re Jaden Rivers, correct? Answer me this. What kind of status do you think the Rivers hold in Southrive at the moment?”Adrian put down the documents and prepared himself for a major discussion with Jaden.Not expecting Adrian to ask such a thing, Jaden laughed and said, “Is that even a valid question? The Rivers are the most powerful family in Southrive right now. My grandfather can not only bring about huge changes to the place, but he can even cause its economy to tremble with a single word.“The Rivers are considered to be a large family, with my relatives spread across all of Southrive. All it would take is a single order and we can instantly become the face of Southr

Jaden sneered and continued, “If you ask me, I’m afraid I’ll end up killing your entire family if you fail to kill me. I’ve been hoping to get my hands on both your wife and your little sister for a really long time.”Surprisingly, Adrian was not enraged when he heard this. Riley, on the other hand, was so infuriated that she desperately hoped to kill Jaden right where he was. Yet, Adrian stayed so calm that others seemed to have ignored his presence.‘How could he be so calm after hearing all that?’ Riley wondered.Riley chose not to say anything since Adrian did not seem the least bit angry. She wanted to see what Adrian was going to do next.“Didn’t you say you were going to kill me, b*stard? What’s stopping you?” Jaden asked once more when he saw Adrian remain silent.Once again, Adrian refused to answer his question. Instead, he turned to look at Riley. “What time is it?”Riley took a look at her watch and replied, “It’s almost eleven.”Hearing this, Adrian went back to bei

Hydra needed to live like an ordinary citizen if he wanted to execute his grand scheme in Swallowston, and Paraiso was to be his base of operations.Hence, Jaden’s plan was to help Hydra secure a foothold within Swallowston.If Hydra had a company here, he would be able to become a legal citizen of Swallowston instead of having to live in hiding.Everyone inside the boardroom could sense Hydra’s extraordinary presence when he walked in.He exuded the temperament of a powerful veteran—a fearless one for that matter.Even Riley could not stop herself from taking a few steps back at the sight of this ferocious man.***“War Legate Hydra…”Jaden smiled and turned around, introducing the people within. “This is Leonard and Wilfred from the Xander family. A minor mishap has happened here today… Adrian, the son of this company’s late owner, is here.“But don’t worry, sir. I’ll handle this!”‘War Legate Hydra?’ Leonard and WIlfred were both confused when they heard this.“Who is thi

“Jaden tricked me, Riley. You have to believe me,” Leonard said in a panic to his tearful daughter.Riley had been constantly advising Leonard of what was happening, but he just would not listen to her.Crying, Riley said, “What else do you think is going to happen now, Father? You two should confess to your sins at the Battle Warrior Department later and hope that you’ll get a lighter sentence!”“I-I…”Both Leonard and Wilfred were completely dumbfounded, trembling away at what they just heard.Meanwhile, Jaden laughed uproariously and said, “None of you are getting away with this. Leonard, Wilfred, we’re now on the same side, which means you’re my accomplices. In other words, it won’t be easy for either of you to get away scot-free.”“I’m going to f*cking kill you!” Leonard yelled as he charged toward Jaden.However, a bodyguard stepped out and threw Leonard onto the floor.“Father!” Riley yelled and ran over, helping Leonard back to his feet.Leonard yelled, “I trusted you,

“Ah, Draco huh?” Jaden said dismissively as he sniggered.‘This man’s not that impressive.’However, Jaden’s expression changed drastically when he suddenly realized something. “What? You’re known as Draco?”Jaden was so shocked that he abruptly took a few steps back. He raised his head and froze where he stood.‘Draco?’ he felt a shiver travel down his spine. ‘What Draco?’Jaden was astonished. And it was not just him. Leonard and Wilfred, too, abruptly raised their heads as well. They stared at Adrian who was seated on the chair.Riley looked dumbfounded as well as her gaze landed on Adrian.‘His moniker is Draco? Why does that name sound so familiar?’Everyone in the room was familiar with this name. It belonged to the highest-level leader of Wyvern Peak—War Legate Draco, who was the finest war legate in all of Navia.All at once, the boardroom fell deathly silent. Everyone stared at Adrian in shock and was so astonished that they could not utter a single word.On the othe

“I am Thor.”“Zagan.”“Serpent.”“Magus.”“Awaiting orders, War Legate Draco!” Daniel and the other four people said in unison.Jaden was shaking violently and he was immensely shocked upon hearing this greeting. He broke down and instantly got on his knees. He was so hopeless and terrified that tears were streaming down his face.Leonard was astounded, and so was Wilfred.‘War Legate Draco? Adrian truly is War Legate Draco!’The siblings broke down too.Their nephew Adrian was the renowned War Legate Draco.“Oh god!”“What has the family done?”Leonard and Wilfred were beating their chests in anguish and crying profusely. They were filled with boundless remorse at this very moment.Riley stood by with her little mouth hanging wide open in shock. She never imagined that Adrian would be someone so powerful.***The boardroom fell silent once again.Jaden’s face was drenched in tears as he knelt on the ground.Leonard and Wilfred were sobbing audibly with their mouths ag

One arm?Everyone was stupefied.Hydra inhaled sharply and said as he stared at Adrian, “You’re quite the talker, Draco. I’d like to see how you’re going to fight me, a war legate, with just one arm.”Adrian smiled.“Step back, Riley,” he said.Riley acknowledged with an “ah” and quickly went to stand behind him.At this very moment, Adrian started exuding an overbearingness that made any ordinary person fear him.The fight was about to break out in the boardroom at any moment.Hydra let out an angry grunt before he threw a punch at Adrian as if he could not bear to be insulted. His fist was known for breaking boulders in Luposia and his moniker of Hydra was well-known across the country. In fact, he was Luposia’s pride and glory.The pride of Luposia, War Legate Hydra, launched a ferocious attack at Navia’s War Legate Draco.However, a thud followed by a muffled groan was heard before everyone could ascertain what had happened. Then, Hydra, who was charging toward Adrian ear

Adrian inhaled a deep breath and shut his eyes upon hearing Leonard’s answer.Riley shut her eyes as well.Adrian said, “Leonard, we have the same blood coursing through our veins. I thought that despite your awful personality, you’d never put Sam in harm’s way.“Looks like I was sorely mistaken. You attempted to kill your niece-in-law. That shows how malicious your heart is.”Adrian was deeply disappointed.Leonard instantly got on his knees upon hearing Adrian’s remark. He slapped himself over and over and said through his tears, “I’m the one in the wrong, Adrian. I’m shameless. I’m an animal.“I’ve disappointed Henry, and you even more, Adrian. But please give me a chance to change for the better. I'm begging you.“I’m begging you, Adrian.”Leonard began to bow repeatedly.Adrian thundered, “Stop him, Daniel!”Daniel nodded. He walked over and lifted Leonard to his feet as he said angrily, “Leonard, you shouldn’t be bowing to a junior member of your family no matter how mu

Riley was stunned.She felt as if she was in the middle of the world’s biggest joke.If Leonard and Wilfred had found out that Adrian was War Legate Draco from the start, they would most certainly have worshiped him like he was a god.However, they were utterly unaware of this fact, and hence, missed the best person that could have been a part of their lives.Was that not ridiculous?Riley smiled bitterly, shook her head, and walked out of the meeting room.***The same morning, Swallowston’s Paraiso was shut down by the Battle Warrior Department.Then, word spread across the whole of Swallowston.Jaden from Southrive’s River family had joined forces with Luposians and endangered Southrive. The Battle Warrior Department had already dealt with them. Luposia’s War Legate Hydra was killed by War Legate Draco in Paraiso’s office building.Soon after, Southrive’s Battle Warrior Department set out to detain the Rivers and they were subjected to legal treatment.Leonard and Wilfred
