After Duncan and his gang left, Adrian turned around to look at William, Swallowston University’s principal.Adrian had met William once at Wyvern Peak years ago. That was when Vell, his eldest son, died in battle. William was there to see Vell one last time.‘It hasn’t been that long but William looks so much older now.’“Long time no see, Mr. William,” Adrian said.William took a good look at Adrian and was finally able to recognize him. William seemed elated and said, “It’s you, sir.”Adrian nodded and glanced at the young man next to William. His name was Reed Falkner, Sandy and William’s second son, and Vell’s little brother. Reed looked about eighteen years old and had a lot of bruises from being beaten up.Noticing Adrian observing Reed, William immediately yelled, “Go to your room. Now! I’ll deal with you later.”Thus, Reed reluctantly went to his room, an ugly expression on his face.When Adrian saw this, he said, “Your son looks like a rebellious one. What happened he

“He wouldn’t be like this if his mother was still alive. The two of them were really close when he was little,” William lamented. Adrian patted William’s shoulder and said, “You have to be patient when educating him, give him hope. But don’t worry, I’ll help you get through this hurdle.”“Thank you for your kind offer, sir. Since you’re here, could you maybe…help me deal with Lopo? I’m afraid that Reed will be in huge trouble when Lopo and his men return.” ***Right after William said this, Magnus, Swallowston University’s chancellor, arrived at his doorstep. After Magnus got out of his car, he said, “William, quick. You have to take your son with you and lay low for a few days. “Lopo’s here from the south, and he brought more than two thousand men with him. We’ve done everything we can to stop him, including informing the Battle Warrior Department, but they’ll be here eventually. You two need to leave…”William was shocked when he heard this, surprised that Lopo would cause

Adrian entered Reed’s room, who was sitting on his bed, looking like his mind was far away.Reed noticed Adrian when the latter pushed the door open. With zero expression on his face, he said, “Thanks for saving me just now.”Adrian smiled and sat opposite Reed. “I heard from your father that your mother and older brother’s deaths had a huge impact on you. But, have you ever stopped to think that you’re William’s only living son now?”Since Reed remained silent, Adrian continued, “Vengeance isn’t as simple as you think it is. There are a lot of factors that can change how it turns out.”Still, Reed refused to say anything, causing Adrian to ask, “What did you do to offend Lopo?”Finally, Reed replied, “He said I laid my hands on his woman when my friends and I were having fun at the bar so he had someone try and pin me down. They found me here after I beat all of his men the first time.”Hearing this, Adrian asked, “Then, have you ever thought about how you’re going to handle Lop

One of the women wrapped around Lucius’ arms angrily yelled before the man himself even said anything, “You arrogant fool! Don’t you know who Lopo is? Now, get down on your knees and—”Splat!!!A hole suddenly opened up in the woman’s chest while she was speaking and she fell to the floor, dead as a doorknob. Time seemed to freeze that very moment as one of Lucius’ women died without any warning.Opposite them, Adrian was flexing his wrist as though nothing had happened.The entire place fell silent, and Lucius even took a few steps back.“Aaah!”The other woman next to Lucius screamed in fear and ran. She was shocked at the other women’s death and swift death. And, she was not the only one. Everyone else, including William, was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events as well.At that moment, Adrian said, “There are two types of people I hate in this world. The first are hypocrites. The second is immoral women. Anytime I come across one of these types, I’ll only do one thing—ki

“What?!”Lucius was slightly taken aback as police sirens wailed from all directions.Immediately after that, more than a thousand vehicles from the Battle Warrior Department swarmed toward the courtyard, leaving Lucius and his men stunned. In fact, some of them were already backing away, trying to find a chance to flee.After the cars stopped, hordes of men got out and surrounded Lucius and his men, followed by Mya rushing over with a dozen subordinates. Under everyone’s gaze, she stood before Adrian and said, “Legate, based on our investigations, Lucius’ brother-in-law is currently working at Internal Affairs’ southern branch.”“L-Legate?” Lucius’s expression instantly turned pale when he heard thisMeanwhile, the men he brought with him were dumbfounded and lost their morale in an instant.“Legate?”“If she’s calling him ‘legate,’ does that mean he’s…War Legate Draco?!”Lucius immediately cried out and took a few steps back, dumbfounded at the revelation. Opposite him, Adria

“We’re sorry, sir!”“Please!”Adrian knew that Lucius’ subordinates had done all kinds of heinous crimes under the latter’s command, hence his decisiveness. He wanted to ingrain into their minds how they met their demise.Adrian completely ignored their pleas, while Lucius trembled non-stop as he broke down in despair.Mya ordered, “Take them away!”The soldiers began to march and escort the villains into their vehicles. Lucius struggled frantically as he yelled, “Let go of me!”Yet, no matter how he yelled and struggled, he was unable to break free from their grasp.Within minutes, they were all taken away. Even the cars they left behind were taken care of by Mya’s men.***William was finally able to heave a sigh of relief after Lucius and the others had been taken away.“Thank you so much, Adrian. Neither Reed nor myself would be alive if not for—”Adrian interrupted William halfway and said, “I need to look into other matters now, Mr. William. I’ll be back in the afterno

Lex was shocked at the sudden intrusion.Lucia jumped, smearing her makeup in the process.Lex got up from the sofa in confusion when he saw Adrian and Mya walk in.Lucia, who was working on her makeup up until a moment ago, ran over to them and yelled, “Who the f*ck are you two?! How dare you barge into my home and kick down my door! Are you two itching to be thrown in prison?! My husband will gladly oblige you two if that’s the case!”Lucia’s fury stemmed from how shaken she was. She did not have the best of tempers, to begin with, so the sudden intrusion was more than enough to light her anger.Adrian glanced at Lucia and proceeded to look at Lex before he asked, “Are you Lex Dumas?”Lex sounded startled as he asked, “Who are you? What are you doing here? Do you know that you’re intruding on private property and that I’m from Internal Affairs? I’ve got reason to believe that you’re here to cause me harm.”Adrian furrowed his eyebrows, while Lucia relentlessly continued with h

However, Lex paid no attention to her.He knew that something was not quite right with the situation. Instead, he asked back, “What are you trying to say? Could you please come right out and say it?”“You’ve been providing him with a lot of assistance, haven’t you? With the building of his forces and the operations of his illegal entertainment outlets.”“Wh-What are you trying to say?” Lex’s face went slightly pale.‘Those are things we’ve been doing from behind the scenes… It’s going to be really bad if someone discovers them.’Lucia seemed to have understood what was happening and yelled, “What does any of that have to do with you? Listen here, you fool. Your time is up! Your whole family’s going to be sent to prison soon!”Finally unable to hold in her temper, Mya side-eyed Lucia and said, “Is that so? Are you the one who’s running the place though? Also, would you believe me if I said I’ll kill you where you stand right now?”Mya’s gaze suddenly became ice cold, causing Luci

Lucia was now as silent as the grave. After all, being Lex’s wife, she naturally knew who War Legate Draco was.She had never thought that the legate would show up on her doorstep.Lex was trembling as he finally realized what was happening, and why he had been having a sense of foreboding. Stuttering, he said, “L-Legate, I have nothing to do with Lucius’ activities. Also, I’m a member of Internal Affairs, so you have no jurisdiction over my actions.”“And what if I insist on interfering?” Adrian asked.“Um…”Lex knew better than anyone else he would not be able to stop Adrian if the latter insisted on apprehending him.Lucia was now no longer able to utter a single word, knowing that she was in huge trouble. Never in her life had she felt fear, or become anyone’s target. Yet, on this very day, her entire life was being turned around as despair, regret, and all sorts of other negative emotions clouded her mind.Both husband and wife were trembling so much that they were finding

Adrian was giving her a taste of her own medicine.“Sir, please… I’m genuinely sorry for what I did and said. I’ll change. Please… Spare me!” Lucia cried.“Sure, I’ll spare you,” Adrian agreed.“Mya.”Mya walked over upon command, ready to receive her instructions.“It’d be a mercy to kill someone as cruel as her. Why don’t we send her to Black Sands Village in the desert to do some farming for the rest of her life instead? As for her son, I want him sent to an orphanage so that the two of them will never meet again.”“Yes, sir,” Mya answered.“No! Please!” Lucia grabbed at Adrian and cried, but Mya kicked her in the face, sending her rolling across the floor.Adrian got up and headed outside, still hearing Lucia’s horrified screams. Soon after, a few men marched inside to take her away.***After leaving Lex’s residence, Adrian got into the car and was asked by Mya once more, “Where to now, sir?”“Back to the university. The event should be almost over by now.”Mya acknowl
