Chapter 1174
A few more people were now out of contact…"F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!!!" Wolfclaw was enraged and confused about what was happening.Adrian was right before his eyes, and he had no intention of letting go of this big chance to assassinate him. Wolfclaw ignored everything and continued to order his men to strike. The more gunshots were fired, the more men were taken down, and the slower Adrian walked. In just half an hour, Wolfclaw lost contact with the majority of the men he had brought. "Can anyone tell me what the f*ck is happening? Is Draco dead?" He paced angrily as only a handful of people were still responding to him.He yelled, "You'd better not fail me, Thunderclap! Kill him!" Bang! Bang! Bang!!!Adrian still remained unscathed despite the continuous rain of gunshots, while Thunderclap and the others ceased contact.Wolfclaw was stunned. He thought he had come up with the perfect plan—the perfect cover. He thought Adrian was as good as dead the moment he ordered a rain of fire

Wolfclaw never expected to die at the hands of the man he thought was not even worth mentioning. None of the Rondoniers knew what hit them. After Wolfclaw died, Adrian clapped his hands and said, "Let's go." "Yes, sir.”Upon seeing the throwing stars as they left the building, Adrian was rather surprised to see someone so well-versed in such an old-fashioned technique. He said smilingly, "You're even better with your throwing stars than Mya is with her marksmanship. Who taught you how to use them?"Brett scratched his head and smiled. "My grandfather was a blacksmith, and he loved forging these sorts of weapons. I treated throwing stars as my toys since I had nothing better to do. Over time, I became adept at them and realized they were indispensable to my life."Adrian was surprised. Brett’s skills were on par with Mya and Gloria's sniping skills, and there were times when throwing stars was more practical in combat. Enemies would find it difficult to catch onto the throwers'

Mya pointed to one of the beds. "Gloria and I will share a bed. You sleep over there."***The rest of the night passed without incident. The next morning, Enzo arrived at the hotel shortly after Adrian’s group finished breakfast. He greeted, "How was your night, sir? Did you sleep well?"Mya stepped forward and replied, "We were ambushed by Rondoniers last night. Why didn't you notice them?"Enzo frowned. "How dare they… Those Rondoniers don’t know when to back down until they're killed. Are you guys okay? Was anyone injured?""We wouldn't be standing here if we weren't okay." Mya rolled her eyes."Enough chatter. We should hurry along." Adrian interrupted.Enzo led Adrian’s group to the car before speeding off to the airport. Adrian’s group would fly to Sormbay, then return to Novemton from there. The journey would take them more than a day."This is as far as I can take you, sir. Someone will be at Sormbay to pick you up and arrange transport for your journey back to Novem

Reuben and Casey had smiles on their faces. In truth, Reuben liked Gloria very much. He had been mesmerized by her maturity and gorgeousness the moment he laid eyes on her. After all, he had not come into contact with many women. To him, Gloria was like an angel. Sadly, she was not meant for him.He said excitedly, "Hey guys, it’s been a while. Did you just get back from Bortuguesa?"Casey added, "You look well, Theo.""Thank you for everything you did for us before, Casey." Adrian was referring to the suitcases.Casey smiled and replied, "Don't mention it. It's the least we could do. By the way, how are you feeling, Ms. Sia? Was the treatment successful?"Reuben added, "That's right, how's your illness? You look much better than back on the ship."Gloria chuckled. "I'm fine. I'm completely cured now. Thank you for asking.""That's good." Casey nodded. He then gestured and continued, "Let's get to the car. We'll talk more on the way. I’ll be taking you to a private jet that’ll

"Thank you, Casey,” Adrian said before getting out of the car.Casey smiled at them. "It's been an honor to be of service, War Legate Draco. All right, we'll be off now. See you soon!"He was aware of his nephew's feelings for Gloria, so he did not want to stay there any longer than necessary, afraid it would prolong Reuben's heartbreak. After all, his nephew was just beginning to understand what being in love meant, so he was inevitably attracted by a woman's every move.After they left, Casey said, "You should stop thinking about someone you can never have. Gloria is one of the top ten most powerful people in Wyvern Peak, plus she's a reputable general. She’s out of your league." He seemed slightly disappointed as he looked at Reuben. He was not deliberately trying to embarrass Reuben, but it was a fact that Gloria was far too great to be with a man like him. "I never said I have feelings for Ms. Sia. Also, am I not allowed to just admire her? Who says I have to get together w

At four in the afternoon, a private jet landed at Novemton's international airport. Crystal and a few core members had arrived half an hour earlier, while reporters and social media platform representatives took pictures. As Adrian’s group stepped onto Novemton soil, Gloria shut her eyes to feel the breeze of her motherland. She suddenly realized there was no place better than home. And this time, she was back in Novemton with renewed hope for the future. She was over the moon."Finally, we're home!" Mya exclaimed. Brett, too, smiled as he gazed around the airport. Adrian said, "This has been a fruitful trip, but there's one last thing I need to do before I can retire for good."Gloria and Mya smiled.Crystal and the core members approached when Adrian and the others walked out of the airport. She shot a glance at him before looking toward Gloria and saying, "Welcome home, Gloria!" Surprised, Gloria quickly shook Crystal's hand before proceeding to hug her. "Thank you for ar

Dominic stood up and said, "According to what the elders have discussed, the selection will be carried out in six locations—Cawthorn County, Rusouth, Rivton, Drogoton, Dillonia, and Northbound. "The preliminary round will be carried out in the six locations simultaneously, where half of the candidates will be disqualified. We’ll then hold the challenger round in Novemton to select the finalists."The final round will be held at Wyvern Peak, where War Legate Draco will personally announce who the next War Legate of Wyvern Peak will be two days after the finals are concluded."In the past, the selection would always be held at Wyvern Peak. This time, they had taken into consideration that Wyvern Peak's headquarters was in the outlands. It would be inconvenient to hold such a large-scale event there in case the outlanders attacked. Thus, the ten elders decided that the selection would be held at six different locations across Novemton.After listening to Dominic's report, Adrian said

Adrian and Crystal discussed Novemton's internal affairs over the banquet. After all, she was inexperienced in many areas since she had just become the monarch. Adrian shared with her some skills to be a more effective leader.The pair talked for a long time well into the night, when the banquet finally ended.***Novemton's cities were brightly lit against the darkened sky.Crystal had arranged for Adrian and Gloria to stay nearby Navia Palace. She instructed drivers to drop them off at their accommodations.Along the way, Brett said, "Sir, I have other matters to attend to now that we’re back in Novemton. This is where we part ways.”"Are you not planning on going to Wyvern Peak with me?""Not this time. My grandfather's death anniversary is coming up. I’ll be going to pay my respects. But don't worry, sir. I'll be sure to attend the selection and witness the whole thing. Feel free to call should you need me."Adrian nodded. "Okay, till we meet again then."The car stopped,
