Chapter 1260
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

When Reena tried to switch topics, Mya called her out and embarrassed her. Instantly, she said, "War Legate Draco, we're here to discuss about my son being beaten up, not who my daughter knows or doesn't know. I know this is Wyvern Peak's territory, but you won’t protect the assailant, will you?"She tried to pressure Adrian into playing to her tune for the sake of her son, who was her everything. Wesley added, "Sir, Wyvern Peak should be held responsible for my son being beaten up. According to the rules, we deserve an explanation for the matter."The couple were using Wyvern Peak's rules to keep Adrian in check. However, they had no idea that their actions made them even more laughable. "You two should—" Mya went up to stop the rude couple from speaking any further, but Adrian raised his hand to stop her. He turned toward Reena and asked, "Tell me, Mdm. Reena, what sort of resolution are you expecting from Wyvern Peak over this matter?""I’ve already told you, I want the ass

Smack!Mya gave Reena a slap the moment the latter spoke. Reena was left dumbfounded, and the same went for Wesley. "I'm only going to say this one more time, so stop testing my patience. Shut your mouth until War Legate Draco speaks to you.” Mya sounded chillingly cold when she spoke.Reena started crying out, "She hit me! Wyvern Peak is a bunch of bullies who lay their hands on old and harmless citizens! Somebody, help me! Help me! They're going to kill me!" She sat on the floor and yelled at the top of her lungs, intending to attract a crowd. Mya said upon realizing what Reena was up to, "No one will come no matter how loud you scream. The most powerful person in Novemton is standing right here. It’s within our rights to execute you for simply disobeying our orders. Don't say I didn't warn you."Reena trembled when she heard this menacing warning. Everyone here worked for Wyvern Peak, so it was impossible for anyone to come to her aid no matter how much she yelled. Fear gripp

They were being put under the microscope, but Reena was somehow able to make herself and her family the victims.With all the time in the world, Adrian replied, "So you're now saying that Kieran has falsely accused you, is that right?""Y-Yeah! That's right!" Adrian nodded. "I see. One last thing then. Please confirm that everything you've said to me is true.""I… I…" Reena hesitated for a moment before blushing profusely. Clearing her throat, she said, "Of course, it’s all true. That little brat is falsely accusing us. We don't have a grudge against Connie, so why would we break his leg?"Adrian turned toward Wesley. "What about you? Are you going to stick with your wife’s story?"Wesley, too, hesitated for a while before saying, "Yes, sir. We have absolutely nothing to do with what happened to Connie. They're accusing us because Connie's love for Anna turned into hatred after they broke up." Adrian nodded once more. "I'm sure you both understand that this matter is now relat

"No matter.” Adrian gestured toward Anna. "You read it then. Remember that you're no longer a child, so don't let a bad decision ruin your life forever."Anna read out the words in the file, "Victor Hasting. Healthy with no recorded illnesses, heart conditions, contagious viruses, or chronic diseases. No scars were found, excelled in the physical test, and no inherent deficiencies or conditions were detected. Pass."After she finished reading, Anna stared at Adrian, who turned toward Reena. "So, tell me, Mdm. Reena. Is the profile in my hands wrong, or did you and your husband give us false information? If the profile is wrong, the person who prepared it will be executed after this is over. However, if you two are the ones who gave us false information, it would indicate that you two are hiding something. I wonder which it is?"The couple panicked and were unable to find the words to say.Adrian, having no plans to let them explain themselves, said, "I've asked Southrive headquarte

Reena and Wesley were dumbfounded by how determined Adrian was. "I-I…" She could not utter a single word and thoroughly regretted her decision to cause a scene with War Legate Draco. She pleaded, "Please, sir. We truly want to drop this matter. Please look past all this and find it in your heart to let it go?"Adrian smiled. "Mdm. Reena, nobody would've paid any attention to this if you hadn't come here and caused such a huge commotion. Do you have any idea what the media will write about me if they don't get a conclusive resolution?”"But I…""You should calm down. You seemed very sure of yourself when you said you had nothing to do with Connie's broken leg, so there's nothing for you to be afraid of. We'll find out the truth when Wayne and Roland get here tomorrow.”Adrian turned toward Mya and continued, "Oh, I almost forgot. Please inform the Battle Warrior Department to have Connie and his parents flown here in a helicopter.”"Yes, sir,” Mya replied.Adrian then stood up a
Chapter 1266
Roland was the person in charge of Southrive's Internal Affairs. Following Crystal’s ascension, he retired to his hometown after being fired. And Wayne was his subordinate, who was hired by Novemton's Battle Warrior Department for some reason. The cameras turned toward them as they walked in with their heads lowered. Neither of them dared to show their faces to the cameras. "Danny Walker, Vera Stiles, and Connie Walker have arrived." Following the announcement, a couple in their fifties and a young man with thick stubble and a crutch walked in. The young man was Kieran’s brother and the couple were his parents. Following their entrance, Reena, Wesley, and Anna were brought in as well. Connie and Anna looked to the floor after quickly glancing at one another.When everyone was seated, Adrian said, "Kieran Walker and Victor Hasting's fight from last night garnered the attention of many. Wyvern Peak's legate selection is an important event in which only the most elite students are

Adrian said, "Wayne, you used to be a member of Internal Affairs and Roland's subordinate. You now work for the Battle Warrior Department. My intel states that it was you who verified Victor Hasting's particulars. Is this correct?"Wayne hung his head, seeming a little nervous. Adrian already knew how capable Victor was based on his performance during the last few exams. Thus, the details inside his personal file were of no value. Wayne finally replied, "Yes, sir." He did not dare lie to Adrian because it was a cold hard fact that it was he who approved Victor's registration. "In that case, I’ll question you later. For now, it's time to get to the main topic."Adrian fell silent for a moment. Nobody knew what he was thinking, but everyone, other than the ones being interrogated, was on their toes. Then, Mya walked in and handed Adrian a folder."Sir, this contains all the information Southrive's Battle Warrior Department uncovered. Everything that happened that year is inside.
