Chapter 130
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

Some people had planned on posting these events to their social media accounts to show their friends.However, they immediately deleted whatever photos and videos they had after hearing Mya’s words.Everyone knew they needed to keep their mouths shut and never tell a single soul about what transpired here today.After all, no one dared to joke around when their lives were on the line.Soon, the scene was cleaned up. The Laymans had entered the campus with arrogant looks on their faces but were lifeless corpses when they left.Everyone learned a valuable life lesson that day—arrogance will not be met in kind.***While Adrian dealt with the Laymans, many others watched the events unfold from the girl’s dormitory but they could not see clearly due to how far away they were.However, they all knew they had heard gunshots.At that moment, Samantha felt extremely worried about the uncertainty of what was happening.“What’s happening over there, Ada? Why are there gunshots? Is your
Chapter 135
Samantha was shocked when she heard this.She quietly looked at Adrian, not expecting things to have ended up the way they had.Samantha was terrified as she drove to campus that she had not thought about doing what Adrian had done.However, to her, things were probably not as simple as they seemed.‘Adrian’s probably the one who called them here.’Hearing this, Samantha smiled and said, “Looks like you really do have a few tricks up your sleeve. I completely forgot about that plan, It’s no wonder you were so calm earlier.”“Nobody could possibly behave so arrogantly and get away with it,” Adrian said.“Sam, could you wait for me over there for a moment, please? There are a few things I’d like to say to Ada alone. She’s going to get a stern lecture from me today.”Samantha sighed. She, too, thought that Adaline had behaved recklessly.‘She shouldn’t have raised her hand at Dylan, no matter how overboard he had been with her.‘What would she have done if Dylan had retaliated r

Adrian made no further comment after he was done briefing them.Mya recognized Suzy and Shiloh’s fighting skills, and it was Adrian's first time showing such meticulous care to Adaline.And the whole time, Adaline was at a loss for words.***Adrian assigned Suzy and Shiloh to stay while Mya made arrangements for other affairs.Adrian found Samantha sitting on a bench on the field.Noticing Adrian’s arrival, she stood up and said, “What did you say to Ada? Why won’t you let me listen?”Adrian smiled and answered, “If you were there, she’d feel like you’re on her side. Hence, I sent you away so I could reprimand her properly.”Samantha did not comment further because she knew that Adrian did it because he cared for Adaline.They then left Swallowston University.Upon arriving home, they found Rue growing restless.She hastily ran to them when she spotted them. “Adrian, Sam, how’s everything? Is Ada okay?”“Don’t worry, Mother. It’s been dealt with,” said Adrian while nodding

Something happened at Xander Manor this afternoon that excited all the Xanders.Harold was sitting at home when Leonard walked into the house in excitement. “Father, the heir of Southrive’s River family, Jaden, is here in Swallowston. I’ve invited him to our home.”Harold immediately raised his head upon hearing that. “Are you serious, Leonard? You managed to invite Jaden to our home?”Harold was beyond excited.The River family was listed as the most influential family in Southrive.Back in those years, Harold and the patriarch of the Rivers had been acquaintances. Afterward, the Rivers grew more powerful and Harold failed to keep in touch with him because Harold was beneath their level.He had not expected Leonard would successfully invite Jaden to their home.Meanwhile, the Xanders rushed into the house as Wilfred announced, “Father, Mr. Jaden is here!”A young man wearing a suit walked into the house.Noticing the situation, Harold hastily stood up and said, “You’re here,
