“Understood, sir.”Adrian hung up the phone after saying a few more words to Magnus.“Mother, I’m going to take a trip down to Ada’s campus. Stay here and wait for me,” Adrian said to Rue.Adaline was Rue’s daughter, so it was only natural for her to feel panicked.“I’m going too,” she said.Adrian did not wish for Rue to be present since he would have to suppress his temper if she did.“It isn’t convenient for you to come with me, Mother. Don’t worry, Ada will be fine. I’ll head over there, resolve a few issues, and come home as soon as possible.”Rue wanted to continue insisting on going when Samantha said, “You shouldn’t get too worked up because of your weak heart, Mother. Plus, Adrian’s right. You shouldn’t go with him. I’ll go with him instead, so you stay here and stay calm.”In truth, Adrian was not planning on letting Samantha go with him, but he had no choice but to let her after she said all that.Rue still felt anxious. “But—”“Don’t worry, Mother. I doubt it’s an

‘Mr. Adrian?’Samantha was lost for words when she saw how friendly Magnus was being. She shot a glance at the chancellor and thought that he was rather strange.But before she could say anything, Magnus extended his hand toward his office. “Please come in. You must be Mr. Adrian’s wife, right?”Samantha was slightly stunned when Magnus looked at her, not expecting the friendliness he was showing Adrian.She pursed her lips and said, “Hello, Mr. Magnus. My name is Samantha Cowell. I’m Ada’s sister-in-law.”Magnus nodded and gestured for the couple to enter his office.Samantha behaved courteously, but Adrian had already plopped himself on the sofa while Magnus poured them some coffee.“Who’s the guy?” Adrian went straight to the point.Things were going completely differently from what Samantha had imagined. In her mind, she thought that the chancellor would be on the other party’s side and lash out in anger, while she would have to apologize profusely to try and quell the situ

“You must be hungry, Sam. Come and eat,” Adrian said.“Adrian, I—”But Samantha decided to swallow her words. Everything was proceeding very differently from what she had imagined.She did not know what she should say at that moment, so she shot a glance at Magnus before starting on her food as well.Meanwhile, Magnus sat by the side without uttering a single word.After they were done with lunch, Adrian said, “Why don’t you go take a look at how Ada’s doing, Sam? I’ll handle this.”“But Adrian…” Samantha was briefly stunned, still confused about what Adrian’s thought process was.Adrian merely smiled at her and said, “Relax, I’ve got this covered. I’ll pass up the chance to visit the girl’s dorm. You go ahead and take a look instead.”Samantha heaved a long sigh, imagining just how terrified Adaline must be at that moment.‘He’s right, I should go check up on her.’She then stood up and asked, “Are you sure you’ll be able to handle this?”“Have I ever lied to you? I’ve got

Of course, Adaline knew who she had offended.However, she could no longer tolerate the amount of humiliation Dylan hurled at her, which caused her to retaliate.Adaline started to cry when Samantha reprimanded her. “I’m sorry, Sam. I’m sorry for causing you trouble again.”Samantha shot her an annoyed look.“What do you mean by that? You just stay here and be good. Your brother’s with the chancellor right now. I have no idea how this will be resolved, but he said he’ll handle it. So, there’s nothing for you to worry about,” Samantha consoled.Adaline nodded.Samantha pulled Adaline to a nearby bench where they sat together before continuing their conversation.***Soon, it was four in the afternoon.Adrian was taking a nap in Magnus’ office but was jolted awake by a sudden disturbance before he could wake up naturally.Magnus rushed into his office following the noise.“Bucky brought a few dozen men with him, Mr. Adrian,” he said anxiously.Adrian then stood up and pulled

Bucky was bewildered by how things had spiraled out of his control.For a moment, he felt a hint of cowardice well up inside of him when he saw Adrian. After all, nobody had ever dared make such a huge response to whatever he had done in the past.Bucky was actually afraid of having things blow up and go out of control. And on this day, three of his men had died before he had even personally made a move.Feeling slightly worried, he knew the situation was only going to get worse now that it was out of his control.Meanwhile, the surrounding students were witnessing the turn of events. All of them were staring at Adrian and suddenly realized how different he was.‘I doubt Bucky would dare to kill three people so openly…’“Wh-Who are you?! How dare you kill my men!”Despite how worried Bucky was, he still needed to put up a strong front. Moreover, there were so many onlookers. How else was he supposed to continue his reign of tyranny in Swallowston if he did not do so?On the oth

“Are you asking me for an answer?”“That’s right.” Bucky nodded.Adrian turned to look at him. “My answer is simple, really. Since your son can’t withstand the humiliation of being slapped by my sister, I might as well just kill him. After all, he won’t feel humiliated if he’s dead, right?”“Wh-What?”Bucky was extremely stunned, clearly not expecting Adrian to give him such an answer. He thought Adrian would feel afraid after killing three men. Yet, Adrian’s answer fell like a huge gavel on Bucky’s head instead.Even the surrounding students were dumbfounded.“Holy sh*t! Adaline’s got a really cool brother!”“That was a really awesome answer.”“I never realized Adaline had such a powerful brother!”The chatters went on endlessly. Meanwhile, Bucky was unable to get a read on Adrian’s thought process when he saw how calm Adrian was.Although Dylan had given him his findings on Adaline’s family background, Adrian had killed three people and given Bucky a threatening answer. A

This scene immediately attracted everyone’s attention and they gasped in shock.“Holy sh*t! They’re all driving G Wagons!”“That’s so awesome… And menacing.”“What the f*ck is happening?”Meanwhile, Bucky seemed rather stiff as he turned to look at the G Wagons—all of the same color, followed by the slams of their doors being closed.Instantly, more than a hundred middle-aged men dressed in black suits revealed themselves, all of them wielding a black pistol.The one leading them all was a woman with a curvaceous body and pretty looks. She, too, was wearing the same suit and had on a pair of sunglasses. She emanated a powerful temperament.This woman was none other than Mya Dean.Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, while Bucky was flabbergasted.His son, Dylan, watched with his eyes wide open.The moment Mya walked over and snapped her fingers, all of the men in suits raised their hands and trained their pistols at Bucky and Dylan. This left the father and son terrified

Adrian smiled mockingly. “We’re in the same line of business, you say?”Bucky nodded.“No, no, no, no.” Adrian interrupted Bucky. “You’re into some shady business, but not me. Do you know why I can so openly have this many guns trained on you? It’s because Battle Warrior Lucas would have to address me as his mentor if he were to be here right now.“Right then. I’ll give you some time to explain your actions. Otherwise, you’ll die right here.”“What?”Bucky was now sitting limply on the floor. ‘He’s Battle Warrior Lucas’ mentor?’He was dumbfounded, and so were his son and the rest of the onlookers.They all knew that Lucas governed the whole of Dragonshire’s Southrive, while only one man was higher ranked than him—the war legate who recently arrived!Rumor had it that the war legate was Battle Warrior Lucas’ mentor.At that moment, the crowd started exclaiming in shock.“He… He’s the war legate?!”“Oh my god, Adaline’s brother is the legate!”“Are you serious?!” Everyone
