Chapter 427
Just as the Battle Warrior Department’s press conference ended and the people of Swallowston were monitoring Mandy’s abduction case closely, the Battle Warrior Department suddenly received calls from the City Guardian Division and Internal Affairs.The City Guardian Division and Internal Affairs requested for War Legate Draco to stand down and for Daniel to make a public apology to them. They wanted the Battle Warrior Department to focus on its own duties and not intervene with unrelated matters.Daniel did not make any substantial reply when he received the requests.Meanwhile, in the watchful eyes of Swallowston’s citizens, the car that Mandy was in had already been towed away from the mountain road in the northern suburbs.A gang was stationed behind a pile of boulders on Mount Cirro. There were people on guard in the surrounding forest who were watching the area vigilantly with their guns out.Mandy, dressed in her formal business suit, was bound and laying on the ground. The

Their nuptial room was the hospital’s ward.After the wedding, Mandy spent her days caring for her sick husband until his ultimate passing two years later. Even though she was widowed at the mere age of thirty-one, her chastity still remained today because her husband had been bedridden from illness.She began to step into the business world after she was done with her husband’s funeral. A few years later, she rose to become one of Southrive’s wealthiest but she did not remarry all this time because of her late husband.Mandy, whose chastity was upheld and who led an honest, clean life, had experienced too much frustration and misery. Now that she heard Sheldon mentioning her past, she became infuriated.She took a deep breath and said, “You may kill me if you want. If you don’t want to kill me, then release me. Otherwise, you won’t be able to kill me when the enforcement team gets here.”Sheldon tutted. He shook his head and heaved a sigh. “Ms. Mandy, I sympathize with your situa

“Do you dare accept the bet?”Mandy clenched her teeth as she spoke her last sentence.Her remark instantly ignited Sheldon’s anger.Sheldon had always been rampant and flew into a great rage when he was provoked in such a bold manner. He spoke through tightly-clenched teeth, “So you want to make a bet huh? Sure, I’ll bet with you. However, you should understand that no one in Swallowston can touch me.“Let me repeat myself. I’m matchless in Swallowston.”Mandy looked at Sheldon and said, “And I will repeat myself too. You won’t live past an hour. Do you want to bet on it?”“What if you lose?” Sheldon said.“If I lose, I will work with you. I will make it so that the whole bank and all the businesses I invested in will help you,” Mandy answered.Sheldon laughed upon hearing this. He said, “What if you win then?”“If I win?” Mandy smiled nonchalantly. “If I win, you’ll be dead!”Sheldon’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. That was exactly it. He would be dead i

At this point, Mandy started trembling in excitement.She was ecstatic. ‘He’s finally here!’“Ms. Mandy, an hour has passed. Aren’t you going to say something?” Sheldon asked as he checked the time and stood up.At that very moment…“Who’s there?!”Sheldon’s subordinates noticed something unusual and raised their guns. Yet, before they could fire their weapons, a sharp blade flew over and instantly slashed more than twenty people in the throat.They instantly collapsed dead on the ground.Surprised gasps came from Sheldon’s subordinates one after another until they were all dead.“What?” Sheldon was startled.Mandy said, “I told you someone is coming to deal with you.”Sheldon turned around upon hearing Mandy’s remark and saw a man wearing a battle suit walking toward him slowly.He instantly turned pale with fear. He pulled out his walkie-talkie and roared into it, “Everyone, gather at my spot! Gather at my spot!”Although Sheldon was roaring his lungs out, not a single vo

Sheldon aimed the gun at Adrian.At this very moment, his pounding heart slowly calmed down. He became much more spirited knowing that he had a gun in his hand.Sheldon sneered and said to Adrian, “Boy, tell me who you are. Otherwise, I’m going to blast your head open!”Adrian put his hands into the pockets of his battle suit upon hearing Sheldon’s remark. He said without answering Sheldon’s question, “Who are you collaborating with? How many people in Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division are working with the Luposians? Who are those involved? What is their purpose?”Sheldon was rather surprised because a person in Adrian’s position would kneel down and beg for mercy when a gun was pointed at them. It was apparently not the case with this man before his eyes.Sheldon swung his gun and berated angrily, “F*ck! Don’t you understand what I’m saying?! I bet you have no idea who I am. I shot fifty-four people to death on the streets seven years ago. That’s pretty impressive,

Sheldon’s jaw dropped and he was no longer capable of remaining composed.Adrian said, “Tell me, who’s your Luposian correspondent? Where is he? What are the names of the people from Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division who are working with Luposia?”Sheldon took a shaky breath and said, “Friend… Please don’t be so impulsive and listen to me first, will you? I—”Bang!Another shot was fired. This time, the bullet penetrated Sheldon’s left leg.Sheldon howled in pain.Adrian said, “Just answer my questions and spare me the small talk. I won’t listen to your pleas and will send you to Hell you’re done.”Sheldon roared, “I said, don’t kill me! Please spare my life!”Bang!Another shot was heard and Sheldon’s other leg was shot through as well.“Gahhhh!” Sheldon screamed. He had never expected this to happen to him.He had never encountered a person like Adrian who refused to give him a chance to speak and attacked without any pause.“My Luposian correspondent is nam
Chapter 433
Sheldon was dead.The whole incident totaled to less than two hours from the time he abducted Mandy.The person, who was regarded as a troublesome person by Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division in the past had died so easily in Adrian’s hands.However, Adrian felt no sense of calm as there were many things happening in the country without anyone’s notice. He exhaled deeply and made a call to Daniel and told him to someone to clean up the corpses.Soon after, the Battle Warrior Department announced that War Legate Draco had killed Sheldon. Moreover, the media journalists were invited to the crime scene to take photos of the corpse as verification.Sheldon’s death resolved the threat hanging over everyone.The legate’s reputation spread across Swallowston once again!***Soon, Adrian and Mandy left the scene.Mandy was feeling rather anxious as if she had yet to recover from the shock.They went to a small diner in Swallowston and sat down. She was starving from bein

“What illness did he have?”“They couldn’t find the cause of it but his body tissues were degenerating and he sweated blood. He looked extremely sallow and was barely surviving on intravenous nutrition at times,” Mandy said.Adrian tutted. He felt rather surprised because he had no idea Mandy had such a backstory. The woman was so noble that she was out of this world. She had taken it upon herself to marry the ill, bedridden man to take care of him.However, Adrian noticed something strange in the story.He asked, “Did he suddenly fall ill? If a healthy person falls sick, there should be a process to it, right?”Mandy raised her head to look at Adrian and said with a smile, “I shared the same thought as you in the past. I read through so much information but there wasn’t a proper explanation. In fact, I wondered if something did this to him at one point. However, I’ve failed to find any evidence.”Adrian shook his head in frustration. It was just the way life was at times.He sa
