Sheldon aimed the gun at Adrian.At this very moment, his pounding heart slowly calmed down. He became much more spirited knowing that he had a gun in his hand.Sheldon sneered and said to Adrian, “Boy, tell me who you are. Otherwise, I’m going to blast your head open!”Adrian put his hands into the pockets of his battle suit upon hearing Sheldon’s remark. He said without answering Sheldon’s question, “Who are you collaborating with? How many people in Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division are working with the Luposians? Who are those involved? What is their purpose?”Sheldon was rather surprised because a person in Adrian’s position would kneel down and beg for mercy when a gun was pointed at them. It was apparently not the case with this man before his eyes.Sheldon swung his gun and berated angrily, “F*ck! Don’t you understand what I’m saying?! I bet you have no idea who I am. I shot fifty-four people to death on the streets seven years ago. That’s pretty impressive,

Sheldon’s jaw dropped and he was no longer capable of remaining composed.Adrian said, “Tell me, who’s your Luposian correspondent? Where is he? What are the names of the people from Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division who are working with Luposia?”Sheldon took a shaky breath and said, “Friend… Please don’t be so impulsive and listen to me first, will you? I—”Bang!Another shot was fired. This time, the bullet penetrated Sheldon’s left leg.Sheldon howled in pain.Adrian said, “Just answer my questions and spare me the small talk. I won’t listen to your pleas and will send you to Hell you’re done.”Sheldon roared, “I said, don’t kill me! Please spare my life!”Bang!Another shot was heard and Sheldon’s other leg was shot through as well.“Gahhhh!” Sheldon screamed. He had never expected this to happen to him.He had never encountered a person like Adrian who refused to give him a chance to speak and attacked without any pause.“My Luposian correspondent is nam

Sheldon was dead.The whole incident totaled to less than two hours from the time he abducted Mandy.The person, who was regarded as a troublesome person by Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division in the past had died so easily in Adrian’s hands.However, Adrian felt no sense of calm as there were many things happening in the country without anyone’s notice. He exhaled deeply and made a call to Daniel and told him to someone to clean up the corpses.Soon after, the Battle Warrior Department announced that War Legate Draco had killed Sheldon. Moreover, the media journalists were invited to the crime scene to take photos of the corpse as verification.Sheldon’s death resolved the threat hanging over everyone.The legate’s reputation spread across Swallowston once again!***Soon, Adrian and Mandy left the scene.Mandy was feeling rather anxious as if she had yet to recover from the shock.They went to a small diner in Swallowston and sat down. She was starving from bein

“What illness did he have?”“They couldn’t find the cause of it but his body tissues were degenerating and he sweated blood. He looked extremely sallow and was barely surviving on intravenous nutrition at times,” Mandy said.Adrian tutted. He felt rather surprised because he had no idea Mandy had such a backstory. The woman was so noble that she was out of this world. She had taken it upon herself to marry the ill, bedridden man to take care of him.However, Adrian noticed something strange in the story.He asked, “Did he suddenly fall ill? If a healthy person falls sick, there should be a process to it, right?”Mandy raised her head to look at Adrian and said with a smile, “I shared the same thought as you in the past. I read through so much information but there wasn’t a proper explanation. In fact, I wondered if something did this to him at one point. However, I’ve failed to find any evidence.”Adrian shook his head in frustration. It was just the way life was at times.He sa

Adrian sent Mandy off after she finished her meal.He drove Mandy back to Swallowston Bank.Mandy got out of the car and smiled at Adrian. “Legate, thank you for your help and for saving my life. I owe you a life.”Mandy said this in a solemn manner.Adrian, “I shall remember that!”“Heh…” Mandy chuckled but did not comment any further and walked into Swallowston Bank.Adrian returned to New Paraiso.Samantha and Joanna had already seen the related information in the news from New Paraiso’s office. They learned that War Legate Draco had killed Sheldon and all the escaped prisoners had been executed. The Battle Warrior Department had already cleaned up the scene.As soon as Adrian walked into the office, Joanna smiled and said, “Our big hero is back.”Samantha looked at Adrian with a bright smile. “Dear, we saw the news.”Adrian asked, “How did I do?”Samantha nodded and gave him a thumbs-up.Joanna said in a sarcastic tone, “How did you do? Are you fishing for compliments?

‘It’s been so many years… The young man who would poke at hornet’s nests with me has now become a famous general.‘Meanwhile, I'm nobody.’Chuck always felt inferior in comparison to Adrian.‘But, if I think of it, the fact that we've been best friends since little hasn’t changed even though he’s super famous now.’At that thought, Chuck handed the broom back to Adrian with a smile and said, “I completely forgot. I keep thinking that you’re War Legate Draco and have been feeling very distant from you so I’ve been on my toes.”“Didn’t your father teach you not to forget your roots? My dad taught me that. He said I should never forget who I am no matter what I become.”“You’re right. Does this mean we’re still best friends?”Adrian nodded. “Of course, we are.”The two looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, another voice said, “What about me?”Reiss, wearing a pair of shorts, walked in and looked at the two men.“Reiss? What are you doing here? Didn’t you return to Northrive

Adrian, Reiss, and Chuck began to clean up the house.Reiss was a natural-born perfectionist so she managed to clean up the house that had been left uninhabited for two years until it was squeaky clean. In the midst of cleaning, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, what are your plans now, Chubbs? Do you have something in mind?”Chuck was now a free man and needed to reenter society.Hearing this question, he sighed and said, “I haven’t decided on anything yet. I don’t know what I should do now. I was thinking of getting a job at a factory first since I haven’t got any skills to speak of.”Reiss shot a look at Adrian before saying, “You’ve got a rich friend right over there so there’s nothing for you to worry about. I’m sure you’ll be set for life if he decides to help you.”Chuck smiled when he heard this, also turning to glance at Adrian. “As rich as he is, I can’t possibly ask him to take care of me for the rest of my life, can I? I still have to work and e

Chuck went out to buy some food and beers from a nearby sundry shop to celebrate the night with Adrian and Reiss.Meanwhile, Adrian sent Samantha a text that he was going to be home late to spend the night with Chuck. Naturally, Samantha gave him her blessing but also reminded him not to drink too much.The trio sat down to eat when Chuck returned. Although it was not a tableful of delicacies, they still enjoyed themselves very much.Reiss was able to accept the reality she was now in. She felt happy from the bottom of her heart and was able to drink freely.Keeping an eye on the amount they were consuming, the trio drank and chatted, mostly about Adrian’s past, present, and future.While they were drinking, they suddenly heard the sound of a car’s engine coming from outside the house, followed by the sound of its doors opening and closing. After that, two middle-aged men in suits walked in with around a dozen construction workers.“Since when was this place occupied? I thought n

The workers Dale brought with him immediately trudged in and were about to drag the trio out of the place.However, they were all sent flying by a mysterious gust of wind the moment they entered the house and fell onto their backs. None of them had any clue what had just happened.“Arghh!!!”The workers were all sent sprawling to the ground and cried out in agony before they could even enter the place. Dale was dumbfounded upon witnessing this.As Chuck and Reiss stood up, Adrian had already walked over and was standing before Dale.Dale was completely unaware that Adrian was so well-versed in combat that he was able to send his workers flying in an instant. For a moment, he even felt fearful of Adrian.Suddenly, Adrian raised his hand and gave Dale a tight slap. “You’ve got some nerve speaking to me so rudely. Looks like you need to be taught a lesson.”Dale was trembling from the slap but quickly became furious as he tried to retaliate. Adrian kicked him in the stomach before

‘That’s exactly what I’ve been planning to do!‘It doesn’t matter who you are. Internal Affairs is going to drag you away the moment they arrive!’At that thought, Dale hurriedly picked up his cell phone and called Byron on his personal number.***Byron had just gotten out from a shower in his luxurious villa in Windy Bay. He received Dale’s phone call just as he was about to have some fun with the new mistress he had just started relations with.Dale said, “Mr. Byron, I was beaten up by a few guys. You need to come to Southern Plains immediately. The owner of the house whose deed you voided before has returned. He and his friends beat me up and refuse to let me tear down the place.”“What did you say? F*cking idiot, does he have a death wish?!” Byron yelled.“Please get here as soon as you can, Mr. Byron. They’re going to ruin my face if you don’t.”Byron immediately said, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”After that, he put on his clothes and was about to rush over when a seduct
