Chapter 1205
These words came out of a nineteen-year-old girl. Adrian vowed to treat the young woman before him in a different light from now on. Nineteen was the peak of one's youth, yet Sage chose not to date and get into a relationship like others. Instead, she pushed herself to her limits in pursuit of her dreams. Everything she said was from the depths of her heart. She refused to live her life as an ordinary woman. She wanted to be better.Adrian fell silent, startled by Sage's words. He felt as though she had just taught him a lesson. She did not seem like a nineteen-year-old no matter how one looked at her. She was far more mature than that."Will you regret your decision in the future?" Adrian asked. Sage shook her head but then nodded. Finally, she said, "Nobody can predict what happens in the future. Maybe I will, maybe I won't, but one thing I’ll surely regret is missing this opportunity.”She could not predict what would happen to her after the selection but she was sure what woul

Sage said, “Luposia is the closest country to us and they have connections with Excenom and Hangton. My first undertaking will be to lure Excenom, Hangton, Luposia, and other outland countries to invade us.“Then, I will issue a warning for them to withdraw. In view of their view and that I’ll be a woman leading Wyvern Peak, the outlanders won’t back down. Hence, we’ll have a reason to destroy them.“I’ll send out two troops to pretend to attack Excenom and Hangton. When Luposia is providing assistance to those two countries, I’ll dispatch my main troop to take out Luposia’s Pegasuton.”Sage pointed at the closest outland city to Navia, Pegasuton. This was Luposia’s transit station closest to Navia. If Pegasuton were to fall, Luposia would have to withdraw at least five hundred kilometers. They would lose Pegasuton as a transit station, impeding their effort to invade Navia again.Adrian already had this plan in mind all along. He wanted to shock all the outland organizations with

“In the future, I hope you won’t forget the words you’ve said today. I wish you all the success in the world.” Adrian smiled at Sage. She hastily nodded. “Thank you, sir. May I leave if there’s nothing else?”“Go ahead! Work hard!” Adrian waved. Sage left the office. As soon as she left, Raquel walked in. Leaning against the door frame, she asked, “How did it go? How was the discussion? What do you think of the girl? Anything you’re dissatisfied with?”Adrian pondered for a while before answering, “She’s too confident.”“Isn’t that a good thing?” asked Raquel. Adrian did not refute her but instead said, “It’s a good thing to be confident, but it depends on the circumstances. There are times when we can’t just be blindly confident. We need to find out if she understands this principle. But she did pretty well in the overall assessment. After all, no one’s perfect.”Raquel giggled so hard that she almost bent over in laughter. “I bet you’re recalling how you were when you fir

Adrian shrugged helplessly. Raquel said, “Don’t you worry. I know my situation very well. I’ll return to my family home after I’ve retired. Someone’s waiting for me there.”“Is that so?” Adrian’s interest was piqued. He said smilingly, “Tell me, who is it? What’s he like?”Raquel said, “He’s a friend of mine from high school, and he lives in the neighboring village. You can call him a childhood friend. We didn’t keep in touch but we bumped into each other a few months ago.”“What kind of person is he?” asked Adrian. “He was obedient when younger and is a nice person. We’ve been talking recently and I learned that he’s been starting up new businesses but none have proven successful. No one has accepted his feelings either so he’s still single.”“Is it because he’s ugly?” Adrian asked. Raquel said, “He’s better than you.”Adrian burst out in laughter. “I’m serious, he really is better looking than you. His father fell ill recently so he’s back in his family home to take care
Chapter 1209
After the rally, Adrian realized that this year’s candidates were much stronger than he had been, and he was deeply gratified over this. He took comfort in this rather than worry the candidates would be problematic. His concern was not the candidates’ standards, but the innermost thoughts that they kept hidden. Adrian recalled the saying of new talents emerging in their own way with the passage of time. The saying “The student has surpassed the master” was highly appropriate in this situation. Many of these candidates surpassed the attitude he had when he was a candidate himself.***As night fell, the lights of Songton shone brightly, exuding splendor and magnificence. Adrian arrived at Lake Solunar and stood on the bridge of the lake, watching the passersby, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart. He felt like a lonely hero from ancient times that was about to go into hiding.He had stepped back, and anything that happened in Novemton from now on would no longer be associate

Juno moved her legs and said, “They’re fine. I fully recovered a long time ago. Stop worrying about my legs and just wait to see me perform.”Adrian nodded and asked, “Will you regret it if you don’t make it to the finals?”Juno smiled. “I’ll still try my best. I won’t regret it if I don’t make it into the finals. Wyvern Peak’s leader is supposed to be a capable person. If I’m not capable enough, I’ll give the worthy one my blessings.”“It’s great that you think that way. Have you thought about your future?” he asked. She nodded. “I already thought about it. If I don’t make it to the finals, I’ll do my best to score well in my exams and join Wyvern Peak for six years. Then, I’ll go home and take care of Mother.”“Are those really your thoughts?” asked Adrian smilingly. Juno nodded and replied, “Of course. Why would I lie?”Adrian smiled. “Great. I can set my mind at ease now that I know what you’re thinking. Let me give you some advice, just do your best. Don’t force it if you

Adrian approved of these six candidates. They had a much higher probability of entering the finals as compared to the others. Adrian’s intention was clear. He did not wish for these six to encounter each other during the prelims and challenger rounds. If they did, one of them would be eliminated and the quality of the finals would be affected. This was the last thing Adrian would do for Wyvern Peak. He had trouble identifying which one of them would become the new leader of Wyvern Peak, but he knew that these six had the highest probability.The elders understood Adrian’s intention. The first elder said, “In that case, we’ll divide the regions according to these six. However, the final outcome will depend on them.”Adrian nodded. “Thank you for taking the trouble to do this. One more thing. Do you still remember Hannibal’s Heroes of Wyvern Peak?”The elders exchanged glances. “Are you talking about where Juno is predicted to end Wyvern Peak’s reign and establish Apotheosium? It

The cleaner raised him until he was five before passing away from an illness.Jerome was once again orphaned.
