Her daughter’s departure saddened Dahlia. She realized that this was Sage’s destiny, and she hoped that Sage would fulfill her dream. Jamie walked out of the room and asked, “Has she left?”Dahlia nodded. “Yeah.”“Are the invitations still here?Sage had previously given them invitation letters to watch the selection.Dahlia looked at Jamie in puzzlement. “Do you want to go?”Jamie said determinedly, “Let’s pack up and bring all that we have to Northbound. It’s the only thing we can do for her.”Dahlia was pleasantly surprised and nodded. “Sure, I’ll get to packing right away!”***Many hopeful candidates headed to their assigned competition regions. The six selected cities—Cawthorn County, Rusouth, Rivton, Drogoton, Dillonia, and Northbound—were under full lockdown. All those entering and leaving had to go through strict inspections.The whole country was watching the selection closely, wondering who the new leader would be. The candidates were eager, and so were the people
Chapter 1230
Wolfsbane lost an arm in an unfortunate accident during a Wyvern Peak rescue mission four years ago. He was then forced to retire and return to his family home. Wyvern Peak awarded him with the highest honor and bereavement allowance but he decided to donate all the money. He instead made a living by working in construction and stopped intervening in Wyvern Peak’s affairs. “Faster, Curtis. We’re in a rush!” the foreman shouted from a distance. Curtis and the other workers picked up the pace. He carried a few bags of cement with one arm in one go and loaded them onto the truck. Meanwhile, Mya got out of a nearby car. As removed her shades and flipped her hair, observing Curtis loading the cement bags in silence. Curtis was a courageous, fearless man. He had known that the rescue mission four years ago was highly dangerous and that he risked losing his life. Yet, he did not cower. He had been trapped within the enemy group and was rescued by his comrades, losing his arm to an exp

Curtis smiled upon hearing this and rummaged in his pockets for a lighter to light his cigarette. Mya swiftly produced her lighter and lit it for him. He took a puff before heading toward the work site. Mya followed behind him. "The Department came looking for me a couple of times, but I rejected them every time. I don’t want to be Wyvern Peak's burden while I'm still able to work. I've already spent quite a lot of their money on my medical bills when I got injured.”"But you deserve every cent of it," Mya said. Curtis shook his head and kept walking. "My wife doesn't wish to rely on others for help either. She said she wants to feel like she's living a full life by earning everything on her own.""You're married?" Mya was surprised. "Yes, I am, and I have a three-year-old daughter."Mya smiled, still slightly surprised. "Who would've thought you’d start a family one day? Congrats. You finally found someone who wants to be with you."Curtis smiled back. "All right, enough abo

“Adrian knows he'll destroy Wyvern Peak if he doesn’t relinquish his position. Also, the next legate will surely surpass him. The new generation should surpass the old for the world to progress. In fact, he's been nurturing a few candidates he deemed worthy.""For example?" Curtis asked.Mya pondered for a while before replying, "One of them is Jerome Yahn. They say he's the reincarnation of five legates, and Adrian has been guiding him to the right path. There's another by the name of Polaris Ryan. Adrian chose him three years ago, and he's been shown promise. He also guided a third boy called Remy Johnston, and one girl, Juno Byrd. She's very competent, and I believe she has a good shot.""You're saying he's been planning for Wyvern Peak's future a long time because he knew he couldn’t continue being the legate for much longer?"Mya nodded. "I've been following him for many years, so no one else knows him better than me, including his wife. Although he doesn't say it out loud, he

It was clear that the woman was deeply devoted to Curtis from the way she looked at him. Holding his daughter in his arms, Curtis said, "Mya, this is Mary Wunder, my daughter, and my wife, Lorelei Martins. Say hello, Mary." Mary gazed at Mya for a while before smiling. "Hello, Mya. Wow, you’re so pretty.”Mya chuckled as she patted Mary's head. "Thank you, Mary. You're really pretty too." Mary then stood up and looked at her mother.Curtis gestured and said, "Lori, this is Mya. She's the woman who works by War Legate Draco's side that I always talk about."Lorelei stretched out her hand and smiled. "Hey, Mya. Curtis has told me so much about you. I even saw you on the news during the Serpent's Haven rescue mission."After they shook hands, Curtis opened up the basket and looked at the sandwich. "These look really good. Have you eaten, Mya? Would you like some?""No, thank you." Mya stared at him before continuing, "Remember to be there a day before the selection, understand?

At that moment, a phone call came from Rusouth."Sir, we've caught two outlander spies," reported a staff member in charge of the preliminary venue in Rusouth.Adrian was not surprised in the slightest when he heard this. After all, it was impossible for the outlanders to stay put in such a situation. He instructed, "Lock them up. I'll interrogate them personally when I get there." "Yes, sir.”Adrian hung up and said, "Come on, Mya. We're heading to Rusouth."Confused, Mya asked, "Why? Are you planning to oversee their written exam? Shouldn't you stay here to see the overall results?" "Two outlander spies have been caught there.”Mya then fell silent and followed Adrian to Rusouth.***Rusouth was an old city inside of Novemton, with many ruins left behind by the land’s ancestors. It was not a tier-one city, but it was famous for its heritage status. Adrian arrived at Rusouth the next day and headed straight for the administrative center. Battle Warrior Gale was in charge

Adrian gestured toward them and asked, "Who sent you here? What's your mission?"The Rondoniers stammered and retreated. Neither of them had expected this to happen when they took on this mission. They wanted to prove how loyal they were with their silence.Mya, an unpleasant woman to have as an enemy, stepped forward and said, "I have all the time in the world to play with you two, so why don't we start with your fingers? Hmm… How about your toes? I’ll let you guys decide." Alas, Rondoniers were spineless cowards. When threatened, they immediately broke down. One of them stammered, "A-Agarov… Agarov sent us.""Agarov?" Mya mumbled the name, then looked toward Adrian. Adrian knew who Agarov was. He was a man notorious for instigating trouble, the spark that set off most of the conflicts in the outlands. Agarov wandered around various places within the outlands, driving in wedges between people to stir up problems, a skill he was excellent at. "Good boy." Mya snickered. Were

"Have they all been captured?" Adrian asked. The preliminary venues were heavily guarded, enabling them to catch even a fly, let alone intruders.Tina nodded. "All six venues have been combed and a total of twenty-five Rondonier spies were caught. How would you like them to be dealt with?"Adrian said without hesitation, "I want them sent to the natural moat. Have them kneel before their nation's live broadcast and execute them. I want them to die as excruciatingly as possible."When the two Rondoniers in the room heard this, they were so shocked that they fainted. Mya and Tina were also shaken by this order.Mya quickly said, "Adrian, we're currently in transition for the new legate to take over. Whoever takes over your role will have to fight a war for offending them so thoroughly. I'm worried they may end up dead before…"Tina added, "She's right, sir. We should execute them discreetly instead. I'm worried the public will be unhappy if we execute them at the moat. The new leg
