Adrian clenched his fist slightly as his gaze turned ice cold.He swore, “I’ll get to the bottom of this… I’m going to find out who it was that put him in this bed.”After taking a deep breath, Samantha lamented, “I never thought he’d end up like this… He’s such a nice man and has done nothing to deserve this.”At that moment, Raquel Zayn, the battle warrior from Serpenshire, walked in with a few of her men. She was the only woman among the top ten strongest battle warriors and was only twenty-nine years old.Her abilities as a warrior were comparable to that of her male compatriots. Coupled with her beauty, she was regarded as the modern Deborah Sampson.“Have Lucas and the others left?” Adrian asked when he saw her walk in.“Lucas has returned to Southrive. Caine and Gale have also left on urgent matters, so I’m here to see if you need me for anything else since I’ve got time on my hands.”Adrian replied, “Have our men stationed at every single exit in Swallowston and conduct

Immediately after Rue said this, Chuck’s finger suddenly twitched.After that, his eyelids flickered as he slowly opened them.Chuck had miraculously awoken from his coma!Rue was instantly overjoyed when she saw this and cried, “Nurse, nurse! He’s awake!”One of the two nurses walked over to Chuck’s bed while the other rushed off to call Robert.Robert soon arrived and checked Chuck’s vitals before nodding his head. “He woke up from his coma and there doesn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary. All that’s left now is for him to get proper rest and let his injuries heal. We can remove the respirator now.”The nurses immediately got to work.An hour later, Chuck’s test results showed that aside from the occasional fluctuation, his breathing was relatively steady. He was fortunate that his windpipe was not slashed, or he would have been dead a long time ago.Chuck’s eyes remained wide open as he silently looked at Rue, who was sitting by his bed. He was still unable to speak

Wallace lived in one of these villas, where the inside was in complete chaos.The Battle Warrior Department blowing up Prison 14 and taking Chuck Wilson with them definitely meant they were looking into the past case.Wallace had never met the legate so he thought that the latter would never dare to go up against the governor’s office despite how powerful he was.Unfortunately, he was very wrong.The legate would be brave enough to even turn Heaven upside down if he was furious enough, let alone a mere governor.“Hello? It’s Wallace. Inform my son to leave Southrive immediately and avoid any public interaction for the time being. He has to do it fast. Make him leave Swallowston tonight!” he yelled through the phone after calling someone.Wallace’s son’s name was Cormac Cook. As the governor of Internal Affairs, he knew that his son had done many unspeakable deeds.Usually, he would allow his son to do whatever he pleased because of how much he loved him. Yet, he had no idea that

It was quite laughable to see the governor of Swallowston fall from grace.After seeing how Chuck was treated, Samantha felt just how unfair the world was.She said nothing more about the matter and continued to lay in Adrian’s arms, quickly falling asleep again because of how tired she was.***The next morning, Samantha headed off to the office with Joanna.Adrian also left home and called someone on the phone as he drove.It was a call to the king of Sormbay.A few years ago, Adrian got acquainted with the king, whose country was in chaos at the time. He had led his soldiers from Wyvern Peak to help resolve the matter. Because of this, the king was very much in Adrian’s debt and he very quickly answered the call.The king’s name was Shavit the 48th.When the call connected, Shavit said, “How can I help you, War Legate Draco?”Speaking fluently in Sormbay’s native language, Adrian said, “I need your help with something, Your Majesty.”“What is it?” Shavit asked.“In about

Chuck said, “You look completely different from seven years ago. You used to look so weak that I could send you flying with a single punch. But now, you’re so much stronger!”Adrian replied, “You’ve lost a lot of weight.”Chuck choked up and was lost for words for a moment.“Just focus on getting better. We’ll go for a drink when you’re back on your feet. For now, I want you to think about nothing except rest.”Chuck wiped his tears. “I heard the whole story… I’m only alive because you donated your blood to me. Thank you, my friend… Thank you for still remembering me despite how long it’s been since we last met.”Adrian patted Chuck on the shoulder with a smile. “Enough with the corny stuff. I should be thanking you for the good memories. I’m here now, Chubbs, so you have nothing to be afraid of.”Chuck trembled the moment he heard this. He had been living in fear for so many years, suffering every single minute, down to the seconds. He never once thought that he would be able to

Chuck’s mouth hung wide open.He was not expecting his old friend whom he had not met for seven years to show up before him once more and announce that he was the great War Legate Draco.He was utterly stunned and fell into deep thought. ‘If Adrian’s the legate, then Wallace is absolutely nothing in front of him!’At that thought, Chuck began to break down. He grabbed Adrian’s hand and cried, “Adrian, you have to avenge me… Please!”Chuck was extremely agitated, letting out all the vengeance and grief he felt inside. He wanted the legate to avenge him!Adrian wished to calm the fear deep within Chuck’s heart. All that he was waiting for was for Chuck to say the word.“Go ahead and tell me the story, Chubbs. What happened? Did you kill anyone?”Chuck shook his head like a madman. “I never killed anyone. They framed me. You have to avenge me, Adrian. You know I’d never lie and that I always admit my mistakes. I never killed anyone, and that’s the truth.”“Okay, I’ll help you get

Nine in the morning in Sormbay City…Sormbay was a country surrounded by the sea, which meant they were in a pretty good situation economically.At that moment, a certain plane made its descent into Sormbay City’s airport. After that, Wallace walked out with his luggage behind him. He exited the airport after going through the security checks.He waited at the airport for a while before…“Father!” a young man called out to Wallace, waving from the other side.Seeing this, Wallace immediately ran toward the young man, who was revealed to be Cormac, his son.“Did you bring your debit card with you?”Cormac nodded. “Relax, Father. I’ve sold everything worth selling so we’ve now got forty-five million dollars in here. It’ll be enough for us to live in Sormbay for a while.”Wallace smiled. “Good. There’s nothing the legate can do to us when we’re overseas, no matter how powerful he is. Come on. Let’s lay low for the time being and return home later.“You know… Sormbay’s women are f

The Sormbayan soldiers threw Wallace and Cormac into the back of a vehicle.Immediately after that, they were sent back to the airport and flown to Southrive’s Swallowston, along with a few soldiers as escorts.***That afternoon, Adrian was at the Battle Warrior Department when he received word from Sormbay that Wallace and Cormac had been delivered.Adrian arranged for them to be sent to the hospital as he got up and rushed over there himself. However, before he did this, he sent Reiss a text.“Chubbs has woken up. Come to the hospital if you’re still in Swallowston.’Meanwhile, Reiss was sitting on a long bench in a certain garden in Swallowston. She had no idea where to go since she was now homeless. At the same time, she did not wish to return to Northrive since that place was no different than a graveyard to her.When she read Adrian’s text, she remained silent for a while before she got up and hailed a cab to the hospital. Coincidentally, she ran into him when she arrived
