Chapter 365
As Clara was taken away, the rest of the Cowells lay limply on the ground. None of them were able to utter a single word, including Violet.Instead, she simply shed a few tears for Clara’s sake.After that, Samantha rushed up to Violet and said, “I doubt you’ll want to live anymore once Clara is dead. As harsh as this may sound, you’re the sole reason why Clara is in this mess today. The same goes for Hugo and Nathan. You’re also to blame for how they turned out.“You chose to look down on others you see as lesser than you. Plus, you squandered all of Grandfather’s inheritance. Despite all this, you refused to realize your mistake and even thought you were a very successful person. However, there is one thing that you’ve successfully achieved…“You’ve damned a perfectly good family all on your own.”Samantha was no longer holding back her punches against Violet. Instead, she spoke the words that have been lingering in her mind for the longest time. After all, she now had the chanc
Chapter 366
Samantha initially wanted to show them mercy but she realized that the Cowells did not deserve her sympathy.Soon, the Cowells left. Samantha sat on the sofa and cried into her hands.Joanna approached Samantha to comfort her.Rue heaved a sigh and said, “Sam, do you think that you’ve gone too far with what you said earlier? After all…”“Gone too far?” Samantha interrupted Rue, “They hurt, scolded, and humiliated me over and over again for the past seven years. Yet, I went back to please them time and time again. Grandmother would repeatedly kick me out of the family and claimed to have disowned me.“Seven years. They’ve gone too far with me for seven years. How have I gone too far when all I did was say something that I should have said?”Rue was at a loss for speech.Joanna said, “Mdm. Rue, Sam hasn’t gone too far at all. Though her words were unpleasant, she was telling the truth. In addition, I would’ve wanted Violet to die earlier if I were Sam.“I’d like to see if she wil

The next day, Samantha cast away the distracting thoughts in her head and returned to work with Joanna.The situation with the Cowells was calm and no one came to find Samantha.Adrian called Daniel early in the morning. He asked, “Has Seth been apprehended?”Daniel answered, “He has. However, he insisted that Clara is the murderer and he isn’t involved. Moreover, the De Forrest family found a bunch of witnesses to provide him with alibis. We don’t have adequate evidence right now so we have no choice but to release him.”The Battle Warrior Department did not have the authority to detain a person for more than twelve hours without adequate evidence.“Also, Seth's father, Tristan De Forrest, is rushing over to take him back to Northrive. If we don’t produce solid evidence, the boy will flee.”“Where is Seth now?” asked Adrian.“Swallowston Bar.”“All right, I’ll go look for him,” said Adrian.After hanging up the call, Adrian drove straight to Swallowston Bar.***Meanwhile,

Clara’s best friends planned on sucking up to Seth so they could gain some benefits, never expecting this to happenThe women shrieked loudly and they started to tremble from head to toe.Seth looked at Adrian with narrowed eyes.“Legate, what are you doing here? You should be fighting enemies in the outlands instead. Are you here to arrest me?“Are you looking to get yourself into trouble because you’re bored?” Seth asked with an arrogant expression on his face.He had one too many drinks and assumed that what he said was perfectly reasonable. ‘Even if you wish to get me in trouble, you’ll need to produce the evidence.’But it became apparent that Seth was not qualified to quibble with Adrian.Adrian said, “Seth, my goal of coming here today is simple. You only need to answer one question I have for you. Is Simon Black’s death related to you?”“Hahaha!” Seth raised his head and laughed as he said, “Bullsh*t. Give me the f*cking evidence if you wish to accuse me. Just f*ck off
Chapter 369
Seth never expected the legate to be so violent.If he had known, he would not have had the courage to oppose the legate.Seth thoroughly regretted his action. Even if he were to live, he would be a cripple without arms. What would be the point of living that way?It was a grave error in misjudgment.Seth had no idea that one error could destroy his entire life.Under such unnerving circumstances, he began to break down.***Under the close watch of everyone in the bar, Seth was arrested and taken to the Battle Warrior Department.Soon after, Clara and Seth were transferred to Internal Affairs and Simon’s murder case became widely known throughout Swallowston.The department presented evidence to Internal Affairs that Clara and Simon were the culprits in the case.Over the next few days, many people in Swallowston followed the case closely.Three days later, Internal Affairs announced that Clara and Seth had been convicted of murdering Simon. Moreover, it was revealed that t

Adrian nodded at Samantha who remained in the car.He got out and his gaze swept over the people around them. The young man walked over and lit himself a cigarette. He beckoned at Adrian. “You’re War Legate Draco, right? F*ck, you’re behaving so atrociously in Swallowston when you’re supposed to be dealing with wars in the outlands.”Adrian was rather surprised because it was his first time encountering someone who still had the audacity to behave in this manner after learning about his identity. His interest in this person was instantly piqued.“Are you talking to me?” Adrian said. The young man burst out laughing and assumed a righteous mannerism. One could see boundless pride in his gaze.“War Legate Draco, do you know who I am?”Without giving Adrian the chance to answer, the young man chuckled and said, “I am Thomas De Forrest. Seth is my younger brother. I have five thousand subordinates in Northrive and they all five thousand of them will kill without leaving a trace wi
Chapter 371
Adrian had already figured out Thomas’ identity.Then, he said, “I’m rather overwhelmed by your choice of words. ‘Pay with my blood,’ ‘an eye for an eye.’ Impressive!“You’re pretty confident in yourself.”Thomas must be confident to say such words to War Legate Draco.However, it was possible that one would have to face something that would make one regret being overconfident for the rest of their life.In a display to Adrian, Thomas beckoned at the five hundred people surrounding them. He said after chuckling, “I’ve always been confident. War Legate Draco. I’m afraid that you’re in trouble today.“I have more than five hundred professionally-trained subordinates here. Though you are formidable, do you think you can escape while you’re all alone? I’m afraid that that won’t be easy.”“Is that so?” Adrian shrugged.Thomas chuckled once again. “Don Roman will spread his influence to Southrive and work with Internal Affairs after I kill you. Wyvern Peak will then be relieved of it
Chapter 372
“Wh-What?”Thomas was instantly shocked and he took a few steps back. His earlier arrogant expression had left his face.Thomas was dumbfounded. The scene before his eyes played out completely differently from what he had imagined. In his imagination, these five hundred people would pin War Legate Draco against the ground and beat him to death.He never expected the scene before his eyes to happen.“H-How is this possible?”Thomas started to panic. He could not make sense of what just happened. He assumed that there was strength in numbers and that War Legate Draco, no matter how powerful he was, was just one man.‘How is this happening?’ he thought.“Oh no, oh no…” Thomas broke down and burst into tears. He never imagined that something like this would happen.Thomas frantically backed away as Adrian walked step by step toward him like the grim reaper.Every step Adrian took was like a torrential river. He exuded a monstrous presence that could not be weakened. The presence b
