Chapter 558
Without thinking too much into the matter, Adrian nodded and said, “Let’s go.”After that, the group headed to the stage and were planning on listening to the choir’s performance before they left.Although he did not seem like he cared much, Adrian knew that the prophecy was not an accident.‘I’m sure the knowledge of a seer isn’t without grounds.’At that moment, all Adrian could do was find the woman in the prophecy.***Adrian and the others arrived below the stage, where many people were sitting and enjoying the show. The choir’s presence at the event had attracted the attention of many, and the seats were almost fully filled.Countless people were sitting there, silently listening to the choir’s singing.The choir had finished half of their act by the time Adrian and the others arrived. Due to the songs being in a foreign language, Samantha and Joanna were unable to understand the meaning of the songs, but Rue seemed to be engrossed by them.After listening for a while, J

“What’s going on? What are the imperial guards doing here?”“Did something happen?”“Are they here to listen to the choir too?”The confused crowd began discussing with one another when they saw who had arrived. Everyone was now watching the people from Internal Affairs, including Adrian and his family.Juno instantly said, “Looks like something unexpected is going on. I think Chase Gardner sent them to stop the Tenshore Choir from singing about Wyvern Peak’s history.”And she was right.Under everyone’s curious gaze, Elmer Branch’s chief judge, Oswald Manning, led a team of people toward the stage and said, “Stop singing right now. That’s enough from you lot.”“Stop! Stop!” Franzen quickly stopped his people upon hearing Oswald’s command.Oswald then walked up to the stage and Franzen immediately went up to welcome him, saying, “Is there something wrong, sir? Why did you ask us to stop?”Oswald paced the stage as he growled angrily, “Are you the owner of this choir group? You

Immediately upon receiving their orders from Oswald, the men he brought charged onto the stage.Franzen was pretty badly shaken, while the other choir singers and the spectators were running for their lives. Oswald took a few steps back and his subordinates were just about to take action when a figure suddenly jumped onto the stage, followed by a few painful groans.Immediately after, Oswald’s men were sent flying off from the stage, landing on the ground with heavy thuds. Many gasped in shock at how suddenly all of that happened. Even Oswald took a few steps back.At that moment, the figure landed in front of Oswald, revealing it to be Adrian.“Holy sh*t! How fast can Adrian run?! When did he even get there?!” Joanna, still beneath the stage, was shocked at how Adrian, who was just next to her a moment ago, had disappeared and reappeared on stage in the blink of an eye.Many people were stunned, while Oswald took a look at Adrian before he coldly said, “Who are you? How dare you

With a loud “pow,” Oswald’s body trembled as his innards turned to mush from the force of impact. His heart was initially racing but stopped beating as time passed.Oswald’s mouth was wide open as he looked up toward Adrian with glazed eyes. He then fell over a moment later. Needless to say, he was dead.Adrian then gestured toward Oswald’s men and said, “Take him away.”“Yes, sir!” Oswald’s men quickly answered and dragged Oswald’s body out of there before frantically making their escape.After they drove off into the distance, Adrian turned around toward Franzen and said, “You and your group are pretty good. Please, continue.”Grateful to Adrian, Franzen bowed and said, “Thank you, sir!”Adrian nodded and walked off the stage, returning to Samantha’s side.The people beneath the stage had a short discussion before leaving what just happened behind them. After all, they had no idea what happened on stage. The choir resumed their singing and were even more serious about it now t

Franzen became visibly ecstatic when he heard this.Adrian was telling him that Wyvern Peak would rebuild when the time was right.As a descendant of a member of Dracolier’s Den, this was something Franzen looked forward to seeing very much.***After Adrian and his family had some of Swallowston’s most famous street food, they shopped for a while and returned home at eleven.Samantha and Adrian went back to their bedroom. He accompanied her into the bathroom to take a shower. Adrian stayed by her side the whole time because he was concerned that Samantha might slip and fall while the floor was slippery.Although they were a married couple, Samantha still felt a little shy and uncomfortable with him being there.The couple went to bed after their shower.Samantha sat on the bed in her pajamas, towel-drying her hair as she asked, “What did you and Carver talk about, dear? Didn’t you say he’s really good at fortune-telling?“Did you not ask him who’s going to become the next leg

Some people of the past had made use of these coincidences, claiming it to be a prophecy.“What I need to do now is find out who Carver really is. After that, I have to find out the source of this prophecy he overheard.”“Do you believe in prophecies, dear?” Samantha asked.Prophecies held a cultural significance of their own. It did not matter if people believed in them or not. Sometimes, things were destined to happen one way or another.Adrian smiled. “There exist some things that just can’t be explained through science.”Being a learned person herself, Samantha agreed with Adrian’s statement and nodded in agreement.“I believe the first thing you should do is find the source of the prophecy. It won’t bring any harm if it can point you in the right direction.”“You’re right.” Adrian agreed.They both chatted for a while longer until Samantha became sleepy and nuzzled into Adrian’s arms, falling fast asleep. He pulled the blanket over them and folded her into his arms.The n

Hearing this, Samantha replied, “Where else could he go? He’s off to find Carver, of course. Adrian told me that Carver probably came across some prophecies somewhere.”“Prophecies?” Joanna seemed puzzled.“What are prophecies?” Rue asked, not knowing what that was.Joanna then said, “Juno, could you explain it to your mother please?”Juno said, “Prophecies are told by seers that foretell something that may happen in the future. People of the past used to believe in such things. Nobody talks about such things in our current times, but that doesn’t mean that the technique is lost forever.”“I still don’t understand.” Rue shook her head.Juno smiled and elaborated further. “If, for example, I’d like to start a rebellion in the past, I’d find a lot of capable people to write a few books before I mobilize my armies. These books would contain hints that point to me becoming the future emperor, which would then in turn be known as a prophecy.“Prophecies were made up by men, and peopl

After Adrian got out of the car, he asked, “How have you been? Well, I hope.”Mya nodded in acknowledgment before they walked into the university together.“Southeast University is affiliated with Internal Affairs and Bowen Mercer’s the principal here. I’ve already contacted him beforehand, so we can head straight to his office.”“All right,” Adrian said with a nod.As they strode past the campus field, they came across all manner of students. This showed just how popular the university was with its fifty years of history. The university had undergone renovation work around five times, both major and minor.Adrian and Mya soon arrived at Bowen’s office. Due to the bad blood between Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs, Mya had set up the meeting with Bowen using her family name instead. Hence, Adrian’s identity as the legate remained a secret.When Mya knocked on the office door, a man who looked to be more than fifty years old opened it. This man was Bowen Mercer, Southeast Universi
