Chapter 438
Chuck went out to buy some food and beers from a nearby sundry shop to celebrate the night with Adrian and Reiss.Meanwhile, Adrian sent Samantha a text that he was going to be home late to spend the night with Chuck. Naturally, Samantha gave him her blessing but also reminded him not to drink too much.The trio sat down to eat when Chuck returned. Although it was not a tableful of delicacies, they still enjoyed themselves very much.Reiss was able to accept the reality she was now in. She felt happy from the bottom of her heart and was able to drink freely.Keeping an eye on the amount they were consuming, the trio drank and chatted, mostly about Adrian’s past, present, and future.While they were drinking, they suddenly heard the sound of a car’s engine coming from outside the house, followed by the sound of its doors opening and closing. After that, two middle-aged men in suits walked in with around a dozen construction workers.“Since when was this place occupied? I thought n

The workers Dale brought with him immediately trudged in and were about to drag the trio out of the place.However, they were all sent flying by a mysterious gust of wind the moment they entered the house and fell onto their backs. None of them had any clue what had just happened.“Arghh!!!”The workers were all sent sprawling to the ground and cried out in agony before they could even enter the place. Dale was dumbfounded upon witnessing this.As Chuck and Reiss stood up, Adrian had already walked over and was standing before Dale.Dale was completely unaware that Adrian was so well-versed in combat that he was able to send his workers flying in an instant. For a moment, he even felt fearful of Adrian.Suddenly, Adrian raised his hand and gave Dale a tight slap. “You’ve got some nerve speaking to me so rudely. Looks like you need to be taught a lesson.”Dale was trembling from the slap but quickly became furious as he tried to retaliate. Adrian kicked him in the stomach before

‘That’s exactly what I’ve been planning to do!‘It doesn’t matter who you are. Internal Affairs is going to drag you away the moment they arrive!’At that thought, Dale hurriedly picked up his cell phone and called Byron on his personal number.***Byron had just gotten out from a shower in his luxurious villa in Windy Bay. He received Dale’s phone call just as he was about to have some fun with the new mistress he had just started relations with.Dale said, “Mr. Byron, I was beaten up by a few guys. You need to come to Southern Plains immediately. The owner of the house whose deed you voided before has returned. He and his friends beat me up and refuse to let me tear down the place.”“What did you say? F*cking idiot, does he have a death wish?!” Byron yelled.“Please get here as soon as you can, Mr. Byron. They’re going to ruin my face if you don’t.”Byron immediately said, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”After that, he put on his clothes and was about to rush over when a seduct

Thud! Thud! Thud!Shortly after the car doors were closed, the enforcement team from Internal Affairs rushed into the house. The person leading the team was Rupert Greece.Dale was elated when he saw them. “Captain Rupert, you’re here! Has Mr. Byron told you what’s happened?”Rupert nodded and glanced at Adrian and the other two.“Nobody would dare to cause trouble in Internal Affairs’ territory. Mr. Byron has already ordered this house to be demolished, yet you’re trying to seek compensation. I suggest you extort that money in prison instead!“You three have severely broken Internal Affairs’ rules, plus one of you even laid your hands on another person. This alone will be enough to charge you with years of imprisonment,” Rupert said to the trio.He was being straightforward because he already got the gist of the situation from Byron.Meanwhile, Adrian seemed slightly infuriated by Byron’s absence. Eyebrows furrowed, he said, “Byron should be here to deal with his own matters, y

Dale trembled in fear after realizing that he had offended the legate.‘What the…’Both men were overcome by fear as they knelt.Looking at Rupert, Adrian looked at a guy next to the former and said, “Hand me your rod.”The guy dared not disobey the legate’s command and handed over his weapon. Grabbing it tight, Adrian threw a huge swing at Rupert’s face.“Argh!” Rupert sprawled onto the floor, teeth and blood flying out of his mouth.“Please forgive me, sir! I was just doing as I was told!” he screamed as he trembled.“You were just doing as you were told, eh?” Adrian snickered and continued, “I think you’re just taking advantage of your status to flex your authority though.”Adrian swung the rod once more after saying this, causing Rupert’s face to become very badly bruised.Dale did not dare utter a single word despite how badly Rupert was crying out. In this way, he thought he would be able to escape being punished, but Adrian suddenly swung the stick at his face as well.

Rupert trembled when he heard this.‘Three seconds? Are you kidding me? That’s literally not time at all!’However, he immediately shouted when Adrian started counting down, “I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”After that, he was trembling even more vigorously as his sweat drenched his clothes.Adrian smiled and said, “In that case, have your men sent to Byron’s residence immediately. I’ll be right there.“And remember. No press.”“Yes, sir!” Rupert shouted and waved. “Let’s go!”Rupert and his men immediately ran out of the house and did as they were told. However, Dale was still on his knees, not daring to get up without Adrian’s permission. He trembled even more after Rupert left.“Are you still going to tear down this house tomorrow?” Adrian asked as he looked at Dale.Dale immediately shook his head. “I-I’m not going to tear down this place anymore, sir. I won’t do it no matter what!”“You know, I’m not an unreasonable man. You’re free to tear down the place once you’ve compensated

Rupert’s face was still bruised. Although he had already done simple first aid on his injuries, he was still in really bad shape on the whole.Adrian made a gesture and said, “Go.”“Yes, sir!”Rupert waved his hand as he gave his order, followed by the first team kicking down Byron’s door and charging inside. Adrian and Rupert followed behind them.At that very moment, Byron was still having fun with an exquisite-looking woman upstairs when his door was suddenly kicked down. More than a dozen men charged into the room with their guns aimed at him and his woman.Byron was so shocked when the door was kicked down that he started shaking, while the woman shrieked and covered herself with the blanket.Bryon scurried to grab his clothes to put them on as looked at the people in front of him. “What are you guys doing?! Are you all mad?! How dare you barge into my room!”He could instantly tell that the men before him were from Internal Affairs based on their battle suits, which was wh

Byron was stunned when he heard this.‘Working with the Luposians? Providing them support?’Byron was just calmly sitting in his office hours ago, not expecting to end up being arrested by the Battle Warrior Department. Because of this, he was furious.‘I’m the deputy chief secretary of Internal Affairs! I won’t allow anyone to step over my authority!’“How dare you accuse me, Draco! Our departments have never been at odds with one another so how dare you meddle in my affairs!” Byron stood on the bed and yelled at Adrian.“Silence!” Rupert suddenly swung a punch at Byron’s face, causing the latter to collapse onto the bed in pain. In fact, a few of his teeth had fallen off from that ferocious punch.“Are you still going to pretend that you’re a decent man, Byron? You’re hereby under arrest by War Legate Draco himself. Nobody is going to come and save you now!”Byron’s fury meter finally reached its peak, unable to believe that he had just been punched by his subordinate. “Rupert
