However, Lex paid no attention to her.He knew that something was not quite right with the situation. Instead, he asked back, “What are you trying to say? Could you please come right out and say it?”“You’ve been providing him with a lot of assistance, haven’t you? With the building of his forces and the operations of his illegal entertainment outlets.”“Wh-What are you trying to say?” Lex’s face went slightly pale.‘Those are things we’ve been doing from behind the scenes… It’s going to be really bad if someone discovers them.’Lucia seemed to have understood what was happening and yelled, “What does any of that have to do with you? Listen here, you fool. Your time is up! Your whole family’s going to be sent to prison soon!”Finally unable to hold in her temper, Mya side-eyed Lucia and said, “Is that so? Are you the one who’s running the place though? Also, would you believe me if I said I’ll kill you where you stand right now?”Mya’s gaze suddenly became ice cold, causing Luci

Lucia was now as silent as the grave. After all, being Lex’s wife, she naturally knew who War Legate Draco was.She had never thought that the legate would show up on her doorstep.Lex was trembling as he finally realized what was happening, and why he had been having a sense of foreboding. Stuttering, he said, “L-Legate, I have nothing to do with Lucius’ activities. Also, I’m a member of Internal Affairs, so you have no jurisdiction over my actions.”“And what if I insist on interfering?” Adrian asked.“Um…”Lex knew better than anyone else he would not be able to stop Adrian if the latter insisted on apprehending him.Lucia was now no longer able to utter a single word, knowing that she was in huge trouble. Never in her life had she felt fear, or become anyone’s target. Yet, on this very day, her entire life was being turned around as despair, regret, and all sorts of other negative emotions clouded her mind.Both husband and wife were trembling so much that they were finding

Adrian was giving her a taste of her own medicine.“Sir, please… I’m genuinely sorry for what I did and said. I’ll change. Please… Spare me!” Lucia cried.“Sure, I’ll spare you,” Adrian agreed.“Mya.”Mya walked over upon command, ready to receive her instructions.“It’d be a mercy to kill someone as cruel as her. Why don’t we send her to Black Sands Village in the desert to do some farming for the rest of her life instead? As for her son, I want him sent to an orphanage so that the two of them will never meet again.”“Yes, sir,” Mya answered.“No! Please!” Lucia grabbed at Adrian and cried, but Mya kicked her in the face, sending her rolling across the floor.Adrian got up and headed outside, still hearing Lucia’s horrified screams. Soon after, a few men marched inside to take her away.***After leaving Lex’s residence, Adrian got into the car and was asked by Mya once more, “Where to now, sir?”“Back to the university. The event should be almost over by now.”Mya acknowl

Sarah had a bright smile on her face.Her parents and she were traveling abroad four years ago when they were caught in a war. At the time, her parents were killed and she thought that she would die too. It was a soldier who carried her out of the war zone to send her to the nearest hospital.From that moment onward, the eighteen-year-old Sarah swore that she would stay by the man’s side for the rest of her life.Four full years had passed since then, and Sarah had put in great effort to become a female celebrity so that she could fulfill her dream of getting the man to notice her.Yet, she later discovered that the man had been promoted to Wyvern Peak’s war legate.***Adrian and Sarah stood gazing at one another.Meanwhile, the concert ended. Samantha and Joanna walked out of the hall and found Adrian and Sarah.However, Samantha did not approach Adrian and left with Joanna first.Adrian and Sarah stood facing one another on the field.After a long while, Adrian said, “You

“Who are you? Do you think you can just come and ask for Sarah’s autograph? Away with you. Don’t bother her.”Julian assumed that Adrian was asking for Sarah’s autograph so he immediately started berating Adrian.Noticing the situation, Sarah furrowed her eyebrows and said, “I should be the one asking you why you’re here, Julian. You should leave if you’re in a rush. I have my own matters to attend to here.”Sarah was not fond of Julian. She would not be here with him if not for the company’s arrangement.However, Julian was not bothered by her remark. He said to Sarah, “You’re a celebrity and are so pretty. It’s not safe for you to be out here by yourself, Sarah. Just look at that guy. What will you do if he suddenly wants to take advantage of you and there’s no one around to protect you?”Julian then pointed at Adrian and said angrily, “Hey you, why are you still here? I told you that you’re not getting an autograph. You should leave. Now.”Sarah was instantly taken aback and f

As soon as Julian’s voice faded away, Sarah swiftly made her way to Adrian’s side and stretched out her hand to rummage through his pocket.The legate would usually bring his War Legate Medallion wherever he went.Sarah soon located the medallion and took it out to show Julian. She said to him, “Are you illiterate, Julian? What are the words written on the medallion? Read it!”Julian looked over. “War Legate Draco’s Medallion!”Upon saying that, he abruptly took a few steps back out of shock. Then, with an “umm,” he raised his head to look at Adrian with his jaw agape. He was completely dumbfounded.In the next moment, Julian felt his face blush scarlet. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could hide himself.He was utterly humiliated.Adrian chuckled and said after seeing the amusing expression on Julian’s face, “Why? Is this how you’re going to react when you meet me?”Julian said awkwardly, “Oh… I’m sorry, Legate. I’m blind for not recognizing you. I’m sorry for offendin

Adrian nodded and said, “Mr. Falkner, I’m here to talk to you about Reed.”William heaved a sigh. “My eldest has already passed, and now my youngest is determined to avenge his mother and brother. I don’t know what to do. He’s too defiant and won’t listen to my advice at all,” William said in a dejected tone.“Actually, the problem stems from you,” Adrian said.“From me?” William hastily inquired.Adrian answered, “Frankly, Reed is only doing what a normal person would do after experiencing trauma. His mother and brother were killed by bad people. Any ordinary person would want revenge. This is completely normal and aligns with the mentality of today’s youngsters.“The person with the problem is you.”William said, “I’m already trying my best to stop him and have tried all sorts of methods. Yet, the more I try to stop him, the more he rebels against me.“Tell me. What am I supposed to do? I’m in a dilemma.”Adrian shook his head. “That is exactly why I’m here today—to talk abou

It was already dark by the time Adrian returned to Jewel Road.Joanna and Samantha were having dinner in the dining room. Noticing that Adrian was home, Joanna narrowed her eyes and said, “Oh? The big hero is home. How are things between you and Sarah?”Samantha looked at Adrian curiously as well.Adrian was stunned. It seemed like the two women had witnessed the interaction between him and Sarah. Then, he told them Sarah’s story.Samantha and Joanna lay on the table and laughed upon hearing Adrian’s story.Joanna said, “You’re quite something, aren’t you? She’s supposed to be your mistress yet she turned into your daughter in the end? That’s impressive!”Adrian felt helpless. However, he figured that he would not be able to get rid of Sarah if he did not do this. He simply shrugged. “I feel very troubled over this too. However, the development of the situation is not unfavorable. We’ll think about how to handle it later.”Joanna gave Adrian a thumbs up. He had found himself a d
