Adrian and Samantha headed downstairs and entered their bedroom.Samantha sat on the bed and asked Adrian while she unbuttoned her top, “Oh, dear. How did everything go?”Adrian nodded and tucked Samantha into bed.“I killed Asher, and Wyvern Peak is the predominant power of Swallowston as of this moment,” Adrian answered.“There’s no objection from Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters?” Samantha was slightly worried.Swallowston’s Internal Affairs had been wiped out so Wyvern Peak had full control over the city. But that was definitely not good news for Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters.Adrian smiled at Samantha and said, “There’s no need for you to worry about these things. We’ll deal with it with proper measures when it comes.”Samantha said, “But I don’t get it. Why do you have to do this?”Adrian’s methods in Swallowston recently shocked everyone. Even Samantha was having trouble understanding his reasoning. There was no doubt that he was challenging Internal A

It was late at night, and Swallowston was peaceful as ever.Meanwhile in Novemton…This city held great power in the country. The headquarters of the country’s major departments were set up here.A meeting had been called to order in Internal Affairs’ headquarters that controlled the country’s ten states. The leader of Internal Affairs’ headquarters and prefect leader of the Prefect Sentry, Chase Gardner, was sitting on the main seat.The departmental leaders of Novemton’s Internal Affairs headquarters were present as well. There were congressmen, colonels, chief secretaries, first guardians, and others at the scene.It was an emergency meeting of three great factions.Chase said, “I received a ciphered telegram from Swallowston earlier that War Legate Draco has taken down Asher Chumber following Wallace and Byron’s murders. What is your opinion on this matter, everyone?”The crowd whispered to one another as Chase’s voice faded.Someone said, “Mr. Chase, Draco’s actions in Swa

Rue answered, “If my son can’t sleep, how can I as a mother sleep peacefully?”Adrian chuckled and removed his jacket, draping it over Rue’s shoulders. He said, “It’s nothing really. I was thinking about Father. How nice would it be if he were still alive.”“Your father is already dead and you’re the head of this house now,” Rue said.Adrian did not respond. He had no idea when it started but he had lost the sense of security of when his father had been around.Meanwhile, Rue said, “Wyvern Peak’s three million soldiers have assembled. Your achievements as the legate are so great that your superiors feel insecure. You’re worried about the future of Wyvern Peak, right?”Adrian was surprised. He had not expected Rue to notice this. She was a homemaker, yet she could see this clearer than anybody else.“How did you know, Mother?” Adrian asked.“I used to be a top student back in my day. I’d have pursued a doctorate if I didn’t meet your father. However, I didn’t figure this out. Jun

Shortly after Adrian made the call, all the major departments of Wyvern Peak in the country received the information.Some were confused, some were surprised, and some were stunned.Adrian's phone started blowing up. Call after call came through, and message after message was delivered.“Legate, why are you dissolving Wyvern Peak?”“Sir, what will our people do if Wyvern Peak is dissolved?”“Sir…”An endless stream of messages was delivered to his phone, but Adrian did not reply to any of them. Soon, this information reached Wyvern Peak’s headquarters.Rue stood next to Adrian and kept him company.In a moment, another call came in. It was from Lucas.Adrian picked up and Lucas said, “Sir, did you suddenly dispatch an order to dissolve Wyvern Peak? Why, sir? If Wyvern Peak is dissolved, our soldiers will be hunted down and killed by Internal Affairs one by one.”Adrian said, “Execute the order and make sure Wyvern Hall is empty before sunrise. Every Wyvern Peak soldier is to

Juno said, “Frankly, I’ve been wanting to tell you that Wyvern Peak has already lost its relevance. Since it has lost its relevance, why hasn’t it been dismantled yet?“Dismissal is a good thing for Wyvern Peak. It may not necessarily be a good thing to keep it running.”Juno was being very serious.Adrian tutted. Her train of thought was exactly the same as his. He could not help being impressed and felt like he was just truly getting to know her. He found that she was very gifted in this area.Adrian asked, “Tell me about the advantages of dissolving Wyvern Peak and the disadvantages of keeping it.”Juno said, “I will talk about the disadvantages first. Internal Affairs will soon cut off your supplies if Wyvern Peak isn’t dismantled. Not having adequate resources is a disadvantage to Wyvern Peak.“The second disadvantage is that Internal Affairs will spare no effort in ruining Wyvern Peak’s reputation so that you will be trapped in a vortex of negative public opinion.“The thi

Relief washed over Adrian when he heard Juno’s words.He was shocked by her. He had not expected an eighteen-year-old to be capable of such deep thoughts.Juno continued to giggle as she looked at Adrian. Her thinking was already on par with his, and he felt like he had the mentality of an eighteen-year-old.“Did I hit the mark?” Juno wanted to know Adrian’s opinion.At this point, Adrian could not come up with any other response than to nod his head. He said, “You truly surprise me, Juno. Since you’re the one who came up with the idea, why don’t you write the letter to Novemton on my behalf? You can do it.”Juno pouted and asked, “What benefits do I get from writing the letter?”Adrian was stunned. He was initially rather proud of Juno, yet was rendered speechless when she started seeking benefits.“Go on then. What sort of benefits would you like? As long as it is not too much, you can have it,” Adrian said.“I’d like a new dress,” Juno said.Adrian's eyes instantly went wid

Adrian was walking backward ahead of Samantha, his front facing her.He felt rather puzzled upon hearing her question. “What son? How do you know that it’s a son in your belly? What if it’s a daughter?”Samantha rubbed her belly. “He’s in my belly so how can I not know his gender? I’m very confident that it’s a son. Would you like to make a bet?”“What are we betting on?” Adrian asked.Samantha thought about it and said, “If it’s a son, you’ll wash my clothes for the rest of your life. If it’s a daughter, I’ll wash yours. What do you think?”Adrian had the awareness to know that it was just clothes.Adrian said smilingly, “Let’s not bet. I’ll handle the task of washing your clothes for the rest of your life.”Samantha glared at Adrian. “That sounds good. However, if I’m right about the baby being a son, what’re you going to name him?”Adrian said without the slightest hesitation, “His name will be Neo Xander. If it’s a girl, you can name her.”“Neo Xander?” Samantha chuckled.
Chapter 545
Everyone, including the monarch, was stunned when they heard the news.Wyvern Peak had already been dissolved? They had shut down operations before the monarch even issued the order to do so.The monarch had an awkward look on his face as the officers and civilians at the scene began to whisper to one another.“Why did Wyvern Peak take the initiative to dissolve itself? Is this beneficial to Draco?”“It has always been hard to figure out his train of thought. He dissolved Wyvern Peak so suddenly. Is it because he received some sort of information that we didn’t?”“What’s going on?”Many people were puzzled. In light of Draco’s usual domineering personality, they did not think he would dissolve Wyvern Peak.The crowd continued to discuss at great length.Meanwhile, Chase said, “Draco is no fool. I believe that he acquired some information and knows that Internal Affairs was about to vote out Wyvern Peak. That’s why he dissolved the organization so suddenly. Rather than wait for
