The woman and her grandson were so close, yet so far…Vincent saluted Mara for a few moments before lowering his still-trembling hand. Tearfully, Mara bid her grandson farewell before the video call cut off. Mya walked over and patted Vincent's shoulder. "Listen to your grandmother and focus on your exams. War Legate Draco traveled all the way here from Songton just to see you, so you can’t disappoint him."Vincent turned toward Adrian and bowed. "Thank you, sir. I won't let you down." After Adrian nodded in acknowledgment, Vincent took a deep breath and walked out of headquarters with a newfound determination. He was going to give his all for his grandmother and himself. He was going to do his best for the rest of the selection. Looking at Vincent’s receding back, Mya sighed. "Such a filial boy… I hope he does well and becomes a respectable person in the future. So, what now?"Adrian got up. "We're heading back to Songton.”The pair returned that very same day. Adrian once a

"Hey girls!" Sage walked over and greeted Juno, Elize, and the others. Juno waved back and smiled. "How did you do in your exams, Sage?"Sage smiled. "I think I did well, but I'm not sure what my results will be like. What about you?"Juno nodded. "The same as you. We'll find out the results tomorrow. Still, I can't shake the feeling that this year's selection is really different. There are so many strong candidates in the running.""What do you mean?" Sage seemed curious. "Do you see that handsome guy over there? That's Jerome Yahn. Many people have been talking about how capable he is. I even heard that he's the reincarnation of five war legates or something like that. Did you hear anything about that?”Jerome was standing on the far end of the lake away from them. When Sage looked in his direction, she said, "You're right. He does give off a very different vibe. I also heard from Uncle Garret that he's someone War Legate Draco handpicked. I'm sure he's a formidable opponent.

The next time they met would probably be as rivals.They went their separate ways after their little chat.***Lake Solunar was a beautiful place with breathtaking scenery, but Adrian was still sitting in his office. Mya could no longer hold it and asked, "Will you please come out and get some fresh air? You've been cooped up in here for a few days now. There are a lot of people hanging around Lake Solunar tonight. I'm sure it'll be fun."But Adrian had no time to take a leisurely stroll, not when his entire focus was on the selection. He refused and said, "You go ahead. I want to stay here and go through these answer sheets. Oh, could you make me a cup of coffee before leaving please?""Fine, whatever! You've never seen what Lake Solunar looks like at night, have you? We've been in Songton for so many days, and I was thinking of taking you outside for a break…" Mya said helplessly while brewing a cup of coffee."We'll have all the time in the world for stargazing once the new le

Kieran seemed to be in a maddened frenzy.Victor snorted. "You f*cking piece of sh*t. How dare you hit me.""I'm going to kill you, you b*stard!" Blinded by rage, Kieran pushed the two men trying to hold him back before charging at Victor once more. His fist went for Victor's head, but Adrian managed to catch it before the blow connected.Adrian lifted Kieran off the ground and asked, "Do you have any idea what you're doing right now?"Kieran looked at him and cried, "Please let me do it, sir. I'm going to fight him to the death. That b*stard's a tumor that should be eradicated from this world. It'd be an insult to Novemton and the world if someone like him gets chosen to join Wyvern Peak!" Judging by Kieran’s outburst, the two seemed to have a deep grudge.Adrian released him and said, "Mya, take them to headquarters. I'll talk to them individually."He then left while Mya frowned and said, "Well done, you two. You're probably going to get disqualified after putting up such

Adrian arrived in the other room, where Kieran, swollen in the face, was sobbing. He looked pitiful and failed to notice Adrian walking in. "Ahem!"Mya cleared her throat, startling Kieran. He hastily got up when he saw who it was and said, "Sir. Ms. Mya.” Mya sounded a little frustrated as she asked, "Why are you crying like a baby? Do you think you’ll become the legate of Wyvern Peak with that attitude?"Kieran wiped his tears. "I never once thought of becoming the legate. I came here to fulfill my brother's dream of working here. He always thought of Wyvern Peak as a sacred place where heroes are born.""Is that so?" Adrian asked. Kieran said nothing in reply. His eyes were reddened and his face swollen. "You say you're here to fulfill your brother's dream. Is that why you're in the selection?" Adrian asked.Still sobbing, Kieran replied, "My brother always dreamed of this. He would watch the news about Wyvern Peak and desperately wanted to stand at the frontlines as a s

It was common for couples to not work out due to objections from their families. However, Victor’s family had definitely gone overboard if this all proved to be true. If his parents were indeed such people, Wyvern Peak would definitely need to reconsider whether Victor was worthy of joining them."You swear that everything you've told me is nothing but the truth?" Adrian asked. "I swear, sir. My brother will never be able to use his leg again. He can't even find a wife because of his handicap. Victor and his family are at fault that my brother has to live like this. I wouldn’t have taken offense if they had just forced him into leaving Anna, but they broke his leg!""Did you take them to court?" Adrian asked. Kieran took a deep breath. "Yes, we did. But our local authorities couldn’t handle the case, so it was directed to Southrive's Internal Affairs. Victor's family was in cahoots with Internal Affairs at the time, and my parents lost hope of winning. To make matters worse, Vict
Chapter 1259
Adrian looked calm when he heard all this, but under his facade was extreme rage. There were many in the world who would twist the laws to cover up their misdeeds. Victor and his parents had clearly committed a heinous crime, yet they managed to gain the upper hand and bully the weak. Victor would be ineligible to participate in the selection because of this, but he was still there. So the question now was, how did he get in?"Something’s wrong. Victor should never have gained admission to Southrive University. Who sent him to the selection venue?" Adrian asked."I did a quick check and found that it was Wayne Tolken from Southrive's Battle Warrior Department who brought him here. Wayne used to work for Chase, and it's possible that Crystal missed out on this fact before hiring him. I smell something fishy about him.""I see." Adrian looked up and continued, "Have Wayne here by five in the afternoon tomorrow. I'll interrogate him myself. To have insulted the selection, he's playin

Still yelling at the top of her lungs, Reena continued, "We'll sue War Legate Draco in the courts of Novemton if he doesn't give us an explanation this instant! We've got all the money to hire the best lawyers! I'll pay whatever amount necessary!" To Reena, everything could be solved with money. They managed to get people to break Connie's leg without having to get personally involved by lining the appropriate pockets. And through using money, they also managed to sure Connie's parents for seventy thousand dollars.Neither Reena nor Wesley seemed to care about War Legate Draco's authority. They thought they would be able to force him to step down from his position if they paid off the media and started rumors on the Internet. At that moment, Mya walked out and said, "War Legate Draco has summoned all of you. Follow me." Reena and Wesley hastily followed Mya inside, while Anna helplessly trailed after them.***Adrian, sitting in his office, suddenly heard someone yelling, "War
