All Chapters of The Return of the War Legate: Chapter 401 - Chapter 410

Their screams of agony echoed throughout the hospital.Their blood and tears mixed together, dripping onto the floor as despair and helplessness filled their minds. Neither of the Cooks ever expected to end up in such a state, especially after how invincible they thought they were over the years.Reiss and Rue were too scared to even watch, while something seemed to have triggered within Chuck’s heart. He recalled how the father and son had treated him worse than an animal. They beat him up whenever they wanted, constantly threatened to end his life, and even pulled strings from behind the scenes to get him thrown into Prison 14.He never thought he would live to see the day Wallace and Cormac would face even greater despair than he did.“Sir, please… Please spare me! I’m sorry, sir… I was wrong… I’m a member of Internal Affairs… You can’t do this to me!” Wallace yelled as fresh wounds continued to be inflicted on him. He was in such immense pain that he had broken down entirely.

Reiss silently stared at Adrian, her eyes brimming with tears.Thus, Adrian answered his own question and said, “Your brother didn’t think he had done anything wrong after killing Simon. Instead, he thought that Simon deserved it. Plus, he tried to cover up the matter, which is why he never realized his mistake and became even worse.“So, why is he allowed to be so cruel when taking someone’s life while I can’t do the same to him after I find out the truth?“Do you understand what I’m trying to say?” Adrian asked.Reiss shook her head at first but nodded after some thought.Adrian took a deep breath and wiped the tears off Reiss’ face. “There’s a time and place for when we have to be fair and kind. If we show kindness to our enemies, they’ll only end up taking advantage of us. By being kind to our enemies, we’re exposing ourselves to even greater dangers. This is why I’ve always lived by the code of making criminals understand how much worse I am compared to them.”Reiss finally

“We should always remember our roots, as people always say. No matter how successful Adrian has become, it doesn’t change the fact that he and Chubbs have known each other since they were little.“Plus, Chubbs values his friendships very much so Adrian helping him also means he’s helping himself.“Also, Adrian’s the legate so how is he supposed to face the entire country if he doesn’t do something that simple?”Joanna let off a wry smile. ‘She’s right.’At that thought, Joanna said, “You’re right. I sincerely hope there aren’t that many Wallaces in the world, or God knows how bad things will get for everyone else.”Samantha nodded and said, “By the way, Adrian, how’s Chubbs? I was planning on visiting him but I was so busy with work. Plus, Mother’s there with him.”“He’s fine now,” Adrian replied.Samantha nodded before she asked, “What exactly happened between Chubbs and Wallace? It doesn’t make sense why Wallace would hurt him this badly for no good reason.”Joanna thought it

At that moment, Adrian signaled for his men to proceed.Iron Hammer noticed this and immediately brought his men over to surround Laurel.When she saw the group of people suddenly surrounding her, Laurel was shocked and confused for a moment as she trembled.“Who are you people?” she asked, but nobody answered.When Adrian walked over, Samantha grabbed his hand and said, “Are you really going to arrest her, dear? By the looks of it, her baby can’t be more than a few months old. Can you really arrest her when her baby still needs to be fed?”Adrian hesitated for a moment but did not reply. Instead, he walked over and stood before Laurel.When Laurel saw Adrian in his black battle suit, she recalled the famous War Legate Draco that she had heard so much about recently. She trembled as she looked at Adrian in confusion.“Are you Laurel Nolan?”Laurel wiped her hands against her apron and said, “Y-Yes, that’s me. Who are you people?”“We’re here because of what happened to Chuck W

“After that, Cormac came up with a plan to con Chuck out of the house he had bought for our marriage. Because of this, Chuck’s mother was hospitalized and passed away.”At that point, Samantha was wiping her tears, and so was Joanna.Samantha asked, “Did Cormac pay you?”Laurel shook her head. “No, he didn’t. He promised to give me seven and a half thousand dollars, holding up his end. He gave me quite a sum of money to try and keep me happy but the amount was just the tip of the iceberg compared to what my father needed.“Cormac said he’d pay me another forty-five thousand if I did as he asked, but after I did what he asked and asked him for my payment, he told me to let him have his way with me one more time. Again, I allowed him to do it for the sake of the money.“After that came the incident at the bar. Cormac became interested in a few female students but they refused to play along. They ended up being beaten to death because of how drunk he was and he later pinned it all on
