Adrian said, “I’ve always acted deceitfully in the face of an enemy army. You should know this very well. Hence, my words may not necessarily be trustable.”“You…”Byron’s entire body was shaking from anger. Adrian smiled at him, but in his eyes, Adrian’s smile looked like the smile of the devil.Then, Adrian shifted his gaze to Tanner and said, “How about you, Tanner? I’d like to know if you were pleasantly surprised. Did I catch you off guard?”Tanner’s face was drenched in sweat. Large droplets dripped onto the floor. He would be lying if he said he was not scared.No one would be able to remain calm in the face of death.However, Tanner suppressed his fear with great effort and answered, “Sir, I don’t know if I made a mistake at some point but I’ve always been very cautious over the years. How did you find out about this?”Adrian sipped his coffee and shook his head. “I haven’t been in Swallowston over the past few years.”Tanner broke down upon hearing this revelation. He

Joanna widened her eyes in surprise as she continued to eat.She asked, “Adrian, why are you looking to befriend a single woman? Are you planning to remarry? Come to me if you wish to remarry. I’m single. What do you think?”Adrian glared at Joanna. In truth, he had considered Joanna before but realized that she and Bram would not make a good match.Adrian had promised Bram that he would set Bram up with a girl. As War Legate Draco, he had to keep his word to his own people.Vivian told Adrian that Bram would be discharged from the hospital this afternoon and he recalled that he had to set Bram up with a date. Hence, he asked Samantha about that.Adrian said, “Jojo, will you please stop thinking about such nonsense? Why would I want to remarry out of nowhere? Also, where would I find someone else as beautiful as Sam?”“If you don’t wish to remarry, why are you asking about single women? I am single though…” Joanna muttered.Adrian smacked his forehead and then told the group abo

She admonished, “Sam, can you please not paint everyone with the same brush? I am. I am one of them!”Samantha hastily corrected herself, “Oh, right, right. There’s only one out of ten women who are like Joanna. It will be very difficult to find one.”Joanna shrugged and said, “However, I don’t like chubby men. I like men like Adrian who have stubble on their face, are mature, handsome, and also good at uplifting women.”Adrian silently glared at Joanna.Samantha asked him, “How about it? Should I bring it up with Mitty? It doesn’t matter if they end up not liking each other, but what if they do hit it off?”“All right, I’ll meet with him later while you go to the company and seek out this woman’s opinion. I’ll get them a gift as a blessing if the set-up is a success,” Adrian said.“What will you give them as a gift?” Samantha was puzzled.“A thirty-thousand-dollar car. Bram helped me a great deal, after all. He’s quite courageous and is very dependable.”Samantha considered fo

Amity was caught off guard by Samantha’s offer.‘Ms. Samantha wishes to set me up on a date? That’s surprising.’Amity hastily said, “Please don’t tease me, Ms. Samantha. I come from a poor family and I’m the only child. My ex dumped me because of this.”Samantha said, “You can still date even if your family condition isn’t great. Please allow me to tell you about the man first and you can give it a thought. What do you think?”Amity hastily said, “It’ll be disrespectful of me not to meet the man since you’ve personally extended the invitation, Ms. Samantha. However, what if I’m not interested in him after meeting him? Will you be angry if I don’t want to date him?”“Haha!” Samantha chuckled.“Mitty, you’re free to date whoever you want. I’m only setting you up. I can’t force you to be with someone if you don’t like them, right? I’m not your parent so that’s not going to happen,” Samantha said.“I can set my mind at ease if that’s the case. What does the man do for a living, Ms.

Bram said in an emotional tone, “I can brag about this medal for the rest of my life!”Adrian smiled. Then, he passed them two bank cards and said, “There are thirty thousand dollars in each account. It’s a special reward for you from the Department. The pin is six zeros. You can take out the money from the account when you’re free and then destroy the card.”Both of them were extremely excited to receive thirty thousand dollars each.Vivian flipped her hair and bowed to Adrian. “Thank you. This thirty thousand is so generous!”Bram said, “I’ll buy a car right after I’m discharged. I’m going to drive the new car back to my hometown. My parents will be over the moon!”There were times when a man’s happiness was just as simple as that.Adrian felt happy for both of them from the bottom of his heart. He said, “Go and live a good life with this money. Don’t lead an aimless existence. Bram, get yourself a new set of clothes after you’re discharged because you’ll be meeting with the wo

Adrian and Vivian followed Samantha to the lobby downstairs and sat down for a coffee.Samantha and Vivian chatted and got to know each other. They shared quite a number of common topics. They quickly became comfortable with each other and appeared to have a lot to talk about.They waited downstairs for quite some time.About half an hour later, Bram came out of the office upstairs. It looks like he and Amity were done talking.Samantha waved at him as soon as he came downstairs. “Bram, we’re over here.”Bram hastily walked toward them.Samantha asked him eagerly, “How did it go? How was the date with Mitty?”Bram scratched his head and one could tell from his slightly shy expression that he seemed rather pleased. Just as expected, Bram nodded and said, “I think that she’s great. She’s totally my type but I don’t know if she’s interested in me.”“What did you guys talk about?” Vivian asked because she had experience in this area.“We talked about our hobbies, our families, and

Samantha said all this to Amity.Amity hastily bowed to Samantha. “Thank you, Ms. Samantha.”Bram said with a smile, “Thank you, Madam Legate. Thank you, Legate!”“Legate? What legate?” Amity took a puzzled glance at Bram.However, Adrian walked over before Bram could reply.Adrian said to Amity and Bram, “There’s a saying that it’s sinful to ruin people’s relationships but it’s a joyous occasion to bring two people together. Since it’s a joyous occasion, I shall celebrate with both of you today!”Adrian then clapped. When his voice died away, a brand new Volkswagen Passat drove over and stopped in front of the group. Even though it was not a luxury car, the highest specs of this model cost more than thirty thousand dollars.Bram and Amity looked over after the car stopped.Adrian said, “Bram, Mitty, I’m gifting this car to the both of you and will take it back if you end the relationship. If you guys end up together in the end, the car will be your shared asset.”Bram’s jaw d

In the next few days, not a single disturbance occurred in Swallowston.Swallowston welcomed a momentary moment of peace ever since the Byron and Luposia incident ended.On the other hand, the first guardian and chief secretary of Internal Affairs still could not be reached. There was speculation that these two people had secretly fled a long time ago.Swallowston’s Internal Affairs was taken over by the Battle Warrior Department.The Battle Warrior Department had been constantly busy with taking over Internal Affairs over the past few days so that they could thoroughly overthrow Internal Affairs.The situation caught the attention of Imperial City’s Internal Affairs but they would not be taking any restrictive action within a short period of time.This did not signify that the storm would remain calm for eternity.Adrian did not have anything much to work on over the past few days so he spent most of his time at home keeping Samantha company.Having tasted the sweetness of bei
