“Aaaaah!”The sound of women screaming was heard in the private room as they scurried in fear. In the end, they hid in the corner and shook in fear. The men, too, quickly got to their feet and retreated.All at once, the private room was filled with an icy, gloomy air.Asher abruptly stood up and pointed at Adrian as he roared, “What do you want, Draco?! I’m warning you! Don’t interfere with Internal Affairs’ matters because it won’t be beneficial to you in the slightest!”“Is that so?” Adrian sat back down and chuckled.Harial said, “It’d be best for you to mind your own business, Draco. Don’t meddle with things that you shouldn’t be meddling with. These matters aren’t related to you whatsoever.”Adrian’s nonchalant gaze landed on Harial. “Judging by your tone, you seem to think that Wyvern Peak is looking for trouble in Swallowston through its actions.”Asher and Harial sat down once again.Asher said, “Wyvern Peak is only stationed in Swallowston temporarily. You shouldn’t m

“Hahaha!” Asher suddenly raised his head and laughed out loud.His laughter was tainted with displeasure, or perhaps he felt that the legate enjoyed boasting as well. Who else in this world had the courage to do anything to him other than Internal Affairs’ management?Asher said, “Draco, I have to say. You’re really good at feigning. However, let me tell you this. Your tricks won’t work on me. I refuse to believe that you have the courage to hurt me. If you hurt me, Mr. Chase will instantly exterminate you!”“Would you like to try?” Adrian asked.Asher started to shout, “Touch me and see what—”But mid-sentence, a ripping noise was heard.The sound of a blade piercing into one’s body was heard when Mya made a move. Fresh blood seeped out of Asher’s body. His jaw dropped, followed by his body trembling.The women in the corner screamed, covering their heads and bursting into tears. Asher’s blood splashed onto the company presidents.Harial’s jaw dropped in shock as he slumped in

Harial and Asher were completely taken aback.They had lost their ability to think. In fact, they could not figure out why Adrian would suddenly put them in such a difficult situation all of a sudden. They had planned on walking away unscathed, yet, that now seemed possible judging by the situation.Asher felt a tugging feeling in his heart while Harial was already incapable of enduring the pressure the legate exerted on him. Both of them were at a loss for what to do.Asher had planned on getting away with using Internal Affairs’ name, but Adrian did not seem to hold much respect for Internal Affairs.The scene was in a stalemate.Asher and Harial were trying to figure out how to survive this crisis, but as they were pondering, voices were heard coming from the outside. A woman scolded, “I’ll have you know that my husband is the chief secretary of Internal Affairs. You’re doomed. When I find my husband, he’s going to kill all of you!”“Hahaha, my father is Asher Chumber. I’d lik

“Putting aside all that, just your connection to Tanner is enough to warrant your death.“Your son will also be executed because he has murdered people.“As for your wife, she’s been in the real estate business over the years. She absconded with people’s money after selling a few incomplete projects which indirectly resulted in the homicide of eighteen people.“This is enough to confirm that your whole family is deserving of death. However, the legate is a kind man. If you willingly tell the truth, we may consider setting your daughter free.”As Daniel spoke, he tossed a thick folder at Asher’s face.Asher’s entire body shook in fear. These documents were all the information gathered from Daniel’s investigation.His entire body was shaking profusely after hearing all this. However, he did not wish to die so he said, “You’ve set me up. This is all fake. I didn’t do this!”“Sure, let’s go with the story that you didn’t do any of it... Mya!” Adrian said.A slicing was heard as Adr

Asher’s death had taught Harial of the legate’s methods.He knew that the legate was not joking around, and now understood that the legate was the devil!Adrian nonchalantly looked at Harial, who was on his knees, before him. He picked up the information gathered from Daniel’s investigation.“Harial, according to this file, you haven’t committed any serious crimes. Based on my investigation, you have not been involved in any particularly serious situation.“However, you now understand that I don’t tolerate any mistakes, right?” Adrian asked Harial in a low tone.Harial nodded profusely. “Yes, sir. Absolutely. I’ll do anything that you ask of me from now on. Your request is my command, Legate!”Harial was scared out of his wits. He initially wanted to put on a strong front like Asher but reality had proved that Asher was a fool. There were times when one needed to yield to survive.Harial did not deserve to be killed so Adrian had no intention of doing so. However, he wanted to s

Adrian then stood up, shook his head, and said, “Not being able to receive treatment when one is sick… I am responsible for ensuring that such a thing never happens again.”Upon saying this, Adrian moved toward the door. Daniel quickly followed after him with his subordinates.Suddenly, Adrian stopped in his tracks and said, “Oh right. Take these company presidents away and teach them a good lesson. I loathe those who form connections with others through money.”“Yes, sir.” Daniel waved his hand to summon a few subordinates and tasked them to detain these people.Soon after, Adrian left the private room. The young women kneeling on the ground had tears in their eyes. They gazed after his departing silhouette with frightened eyes and a few of them had even wet themselves.Soon, no one else was left in the room.War Legate Draco vanished from people’s sight.Mya had yet to leave. She lowered her head to look at the young women on the floor and said, “We’re all women but the differ

With that, Adrian left the Battle Warrior Department.However, he knew all too well that he was in control of Wyvern Peak’s future. There was no telling what would happen to its three million soldiers.***Adrian got rid of the distracting thoughts in his head and returned home. Night had fallen by then.When he arrived in the yard, he saw two brand-new Maserati Quattroporte parked there. The sounds of joyous laughter were heard coming from the sky garden above.Adrian was caught by surprise. He made his way to the sky garden and found Joanna, Samantha, and Sarah sitting on the man-made beach in the sky garden, happily chatting away.Adrian was stunned. ‘What’s going on?’“You’re home, dear.” After noticing Adrian, Samantha immediately stopped talking to Joanna and Sarah and turned her head as she smiled.Adrian was puzzled by Sarah’s presence. He walked over and asked in puzzlement, “What brings you here, Sarah?”“Hey, Godpa!” Sarah called out.“Godpa!” Joanna called out in

Adrian and Samantha headed downstairs and entered their bedroom.Samantha sat on the bed and asked Adrian while she unbuttoned her top, “Oh, dear. How did everything go?”Adrian nodded and tucked Samantha into bed.“I killed Asher, and Wyvern Peak is the predominant power of Swallowston as of this moment,” Adrian answered.“There’s no objection from Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters?” Samantha was slightly worried.Swallowston’s Internal Affairs had been wiped out so Wyvern Peak had full control over the city. But that was definitely not good news for Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters.Adrian smiled at Samantha and said, “There’s no need for you to worry about these things. We’ll deal with it with proper measures when it comes.”Samantha said, “But I don’t get it. Why do you have to do this?”Adrian’s methods in Swallowston recently shocked everyone. Even Samantha was having trouble understanding his reasoning. There was no doubt that he was challenging Internal A

It was late at night, and Swallowston was peaceful as ever.Meanwhile in Novemton…This city held great power in the country. The headquarters of the country’s major departments were set up here.A meeting had been called to order in Internal Affairs’ headquarters that controlled the country’s ten states. The leader of Internal Affairs’ headquarters and prefect leader of the Prefect Sentry, Chase Gardner, was sitting on the main seat.The departmental leaders of Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters were present as well. There were congressmen, colonels, chief secretaries, first guardians, and others at the scene.It was an emergency meeting of three great factions.Chase said, “I received a ciphered telegram from Swallowston earlier that War Legate Draco has taken down Asher Chumber following Wallace and Byron’s murders. What is your opinion on this matter, everyone?”The crowd whispered to one another as Chase’s voice faded.Someone said, “Mr. Chase, Draco’s actions in Swa

Rue answered, “If my son can’t sleep, how can I as a mother sleep peacefully?”Adrian chuckled and removed his jacket, draping it over Rue’s shoulders. He said, “It’s nothing really. I was thinking about Father. How nice would it be if he were still alive.”“Your father is already dead and you’re the head of this house now,” Rue said.Adrian did not respond. He had no idea when it started but he had lost the sense of security of when his father had been around.Meanwhile, Rue said, “Wyvern Peak’s three million soldiers have assembled. Your achievements as the legate are so great that your superiors feel insecure. You’re worried about the future of Wyvern Peak, right?”Adrian was surprised. He had not expected Rue to notice this. She was a homemaker, yet she could see this clearer than anybody else.“How did you know, Mother?” Adrian asked.“I used to be a top student back in my day. I’d have pursued a doctorate if I didn’t meet your father. However, I didn’t figure this out. Jun
