Adrian did not respond to Samantha, and instead said to Jenny, "How's my recovery going, Jen? Can I be discharged?""What? You want to be discharged?" Stunned, Jenny continued, "Are you kidding me, sir? You’ll need at least another hundred days before your bones and muscles are repaired. There’s no way I'm not letting you out of here,” she said sternly. "But it’d be the same if I rested at home," Adrian replied. "How is that the same? Here, you've got me, a professional nurse, taking care of you and tending to your wounds. You won't have me if you go home, let alone someone as professional as me," Jenny said with a smirk. Adrian’s eyes twitched. "There's something really important I need to do, Jen. I can't stay here any longer."Jenny became very displeased. "What could be more important than your own health? No means no. You're far from being allowed to be discharged by hospital standards.""This is really important. The whole world depends on it. I can't postpone my dischar

Adrian nodded, and Jenny went off. ***Darius Wilkins and Emma Lotz, Jenny's parents, were preparing lunch when Jenny got home. She darted into her room and packed her stuff. Her parents looked at each other."What are you doing, Jen? Have you been transferred or are you heading out on a business trip?" Emma asked in confusion."Yes, Mother. I'm going out on a business trip, but I'm not sure for how long." This made her parents even more confused. Darius asked, "What's going on? Why would the hospital send an inexperienced nurse on a business trip? I'm sure your leader has made a mistake somehow."Darius loved teasing his daughter, and Jenny stuck her tongue out when she heard this. "It's not a mistake. I'm the best nurse there in Swallowston Hospital.""You are?" Emma said in disbelief."Your mother's right. How could you be the best nurse in Swallowston Hospital with that feisty temper of yours and your inexperience? I doubt the hospital's any good if you’re the best th

Samantha and Jenny returned to Swallowston Hospital where Adrian was waiting.Samantha said, "I've spoken to the director, so we can leave now. But he says you still need to remain in your wheelchair for another month or it'll affect your recovery.""Okay, I’ll do that. Come on, Jen. Let's go."***Samantha drove Adrian and Jenny to One Jewel Road. This was Jenny’s first time in their house. Her mouth hung wide open when she saw how luxurious and beautiful the place was. She curiously observed everything she could set her eyes on as they strolled through the courtyard.Gloria, Rue, Adaline, and Juno were sitting in the yard, with Nova in Adaline's arms. She was trying to get Nova to speak. "Adrian? Why have you come home?" Gloria asked when she saw Adrian get out of the car. "Ada, could you help me get Adrian into his wheelchair please?” Samantha asked."I’ll do it." Juno got up and carried Adrian out of the car and into the wheelchair. Adrian said, "Nicholas sent me a le

Mya shot Adrian a fierce glare. "This man's an immortal who can do anything you can think of. He was born in a village and helps the villagers excavate rocks. He has an ailing grandmother who needs round-the-clock care. He refused my invitation because he has to take care of her.""An immortal?" Adrian was surprised. Mya nodded. "That's right. I confirmed this with the locals who’ve seen lights coming out of his body while he’s meditating. Some have even seen him levitating. But the locals call him a monster or a mutant.”"Interesting…" Adrian's interests were piqued.The chances of an immortal living in hiding within Novemton were very low. Jerome would have had fierce competition if that man had participated in the legate selection.Adrian asked, "What's his name and how old is he?""His name's Strider Hicks and he's twenty this year. He also has an eighteen-year-old sister by the name of Caitlyn Thorne. I've done some digging and found that Strider grew up with his grandfat

Gloria packed some clothes for Adrian, while Jenny grabbed all the medication he would need for the trip.The trio left for Strider Mountain an hour later, a place fabled to be one of the ten immortal mountains of Navia. It was said that many become immortals atop Strider Mountain a long time ago, and these people were recorded in history as legends with their own unique stories.The mountain was located on Navia's southern border. Surrounded by numerous mountains, this place fell under the jurisdiction of Knoxville. At the foot of the mountain sat Strider Village, and there were fifty kilometers of mountainous roads between the village and Knoxville.About fifty families lived in Strider Village, and the place only obtained electricity after Crystal became the monarch. Living a life of poverty, the people there got by as rock excavators and sellers.Before leaving for Strider Mountain, Adrian had Mya bring along a few more people with them to meet Strider.***Jerome was sitting

Sage said, "Mya has been searching throughout Novemton for people of various talents. It does look like War Legate Draco has been forming a team to head out to the Uduma Desert and Mount Shangspar."Crystal nodded. "We think so too. Based on the information we currently have, we suspect Gostia and Partingia are somehow related to the events that took place at Isle 416.""Are you saying the meteorites at Isle 416 exist at these ancient ruins too?" Sage asked."Exactly.” Sage turned to Jerome. "We've got all the meteorites on Isle 416 locked up in storage. We can’t allow the outlanders to get ahold of something similar before we get to the bottom of its secrets. Otherwise, they may come up with something that could harm this whole world."Crystal said, "Correction. The outlanders will surely put whatever resources they can into researching these meteorites should they get their hands on them. This isn't a matter to be taken lightly." She looked at Jerome. "What do you think? Should
Chapter 1335
Jerome fell silent.The threat posed by Mount Shangspar was imminent. Coupled with the emergence of the Gostia and Partingia ruins, the events of the past were now public knowledge. There was a chance the tragic events that took place in the two countries would spread to the rest of the world. Someone needed to stand up and stop this from happening.Jerome hoped this someone would be himself and not Adrian. "It'll be suicide for you to go to Shangspar in your current condition, so I've come to stop you. I'll help you finish this mission instead. Please go home!" he pleaded.Adrian patted Jerome's shoulder. "You've only just taken over Wyvern Peak, and the battle warriors have only just been appointed. Now isn't the time for you to leave Novemton. You should focus on leading your men instead." He then shot Mya a signal, to which the latter picked him up and placed him inside the car. Mya turned around and said, "Adrian’s right, Jerome. Your foundation isn't strong enough right now,

His plan was, of course, to eliminate Luposia. This was an objective he had set for himself when he became the legate. Everyone in Novemton was affected by Jerome's motivation, with several teams getting ready for an event that would shake the world. It was not long before this plan came into effect. ***Adrian, Mya, and Jenny arrived at Knoxville that afternoon and decided to grab something to eat. Knoxville was not a large place, but it had a market with traders selling all kinds of rocks purchased by people who needed them. As such was Strider Village’s livelihood. These traders were mostly old men who stored and transported their products in tattered trishaws, waiting for buyers to come by. There were a few clean-looking buyers looking through the rocks, asking for prices and inspecting the quality of their selected rocks. Most tradesmen had samples on display for their buyers to choose from. Whenever there was a demand, they would return to the village and instruct their me
