Chapter 625
Stomp, stomp, stomp!The sound of footsteps could be heard as soldiers in Wyvern Peak’s battle suits swiftly covered all the exits. At the same time, the Gardners quickly left the courtyard and discussed among themselves.“What’s going on?”“Why would Wyvern Peak surround our house all of a sudden?”“What’s happening?”“I don’t know!”The younger members of the family were exchanging confused looks, when someone suddenly yelled, “Quick! We have to inform Uncle Chase and the others!”They quickly took out their phones and made several calls.After a moment, the older Gardners rushed back home upon receiving calls. Within minutes, everyone, including the head of the Gardner, the family’s daughters, sons-in-law, and other relatives arrived at the residence.“They’re here!” someone yelled out when a number of luxurious cars drove into the courtyard.Louis had been waiting anxiously. The cars stopped and the older Gardners stepped out.“Father!”“Uncle!”The youngsters yelled o

Chase was holding a conference with the higher-ups of Internal Affairs at the Novemton headquarters while all this went down.“Sir, we’ve just received word that the men who gathered in Southrive have now surrounded your family residence,” a voice on the phone said.Chase was completely stunned when he heard this.“What did you say?! Wyvern Peak has surrounded my family residence?!”“Yes, sir. Right now, Lennon and the others are outside talking it out with the men from Wyvern Peak, but we still don’t know why your house was surrounded.”“Nonsense!” Chase yelled, “I’m the chief secretary of Novemton’s Internal Affairs! How dare War Legate Draco orders his men to surround my family!“You there! Get me a helicopter! I’m going to my family right now!”Chase instantly ended the conference and furiously stormed out of the conference room after yelling out his orders.After that, a chopper flew out of Novemton toward Southrive.***Meanwhile, the situation at the Gardner residence

Stomp!Lennon immediately took a step forward to stop anyone who tried to get through the main door after hearing what Adrian said.As the leader of his family, Lennon seemed to have the moral high ground as he said, “War Legate Draco, I’m afraid we don’t have anything you may want. If you still wish to enter my home, you’re going to have to go over my dead body!”“Mine too.” Louis took a step forward as well.“You’ll have to kill all of us!”“Otherwise, you’re not entering our family residence!”Nate and Ethan moved to stand by Lennon’s side.Over the years, Chase had been so busy at Internal Affairs that Lennon was the one who had been handling family matters, both big and small. He had done a pretty good job of taking care of the family, managing to get them to stand united.At that moment, all the Gardners resolutely blocked the entrance. The legate was going to have to kill them all if Wyvern Peak wished to enter.Lennon predicted that War Legate Draco would not be brave

Lennon was taken aback.Out of all the brothers, Lennon respected Chad, his elder brother, the most. Chad was eight years older than Lennon and had taken very good care of the latter.Although Chad was no longer alive, Lennon still took good care of Nadine and Carlene. Otherwise, there was no way Nadine could have come to manage Fowler House.“Why do you ask, Naddy?” Lennon asked in confusion.Nadine took a deep breath and wiped a tear from the edge of her eye as she said, “Uncle Lennon, your eldest brother’s corpse currently lies inside our family residence. Even Grandfather’s corpse is still here. War Legate Draco has come here today because he’d like to retrieve his body.”“What did you say?! That’s nonsense!” Lennon furiously said, “I love you very much, Naddy, but you should never say something so outrageous, understood?”Nadine shook her head. “I’m telling you the truth, Uncle Lennon.”“I won’t say anything about your father’s corpse since I myself couldn’t find it, but I

The Gardners were stunned when they heard Nadine say this.They all thought of it before, but none of them expected this to be the answer.Looking at how shocked they were, Mya said, “Mr. Lennon, Chase will arrive in a little more than two hours. What will you do when he returns?”Lennon took a deep breath, but Nadine hurriedly said, “Please stop hesitating, Uncle Lennon. I swear to you that everything I’ve said is true, and that’s because I went in there and saw it myself. Do you still remember that blackout that happened at our home a few days ago? That’s when I snuck in.”Lennon turned toward Nadine with a fierce expression, who nodded her head at him. At that moment, he said, “Okay, I’ll go inside with you. However, I will say this first. If we go in there and nothing you’ve said is true, Chase will kill you, Naddy.”“I’m not afraid,” Nadine replied, “I want Father to have a proper burial, and I will stop at nothing to see that happen.”“Fine,” Lennon then turned toward Adria

“Father!”“Father!”Nadine’s aunts wailed.Outside the villa, Adrian and Mya stood in the courtyard, silently listening to the voices coming from within the villa.Mya was clearly shocked as she said, “I’m surprised that the heroic War Legate Achelous wasn’t given a proper burial after his valiant sacrifices.”Adrian remained silent, while Mya turned around to wipe her tears.Approximately ten minutes later, Lennon walked out of the living room, his body trembling vigorously. He led the younger Gardners, whose eyes were also reddened, and stood before Adrian.“What’s going on here, War Legate Draco? Why were my brother's and father’s corpses left inside the villa?”“I’m investigating this matter personally right now, but I don’t have a clear answer for you yet. What I do know is that Chase seems to be looking for something but hasn’t succeeded yet. Moreover, the thing he’s looking for might be around this area, and he was afraid that it might end up being buried with them, henc

Nadine sincerely wanted to leave with Adrian.She did not wish to stay with her family anymore.Adrian looked at Nadine and kept quiet. After a while, he said to her, “Come on then.”Nadine stood up and made her way to Adrian with a joyous expression.Adrian led Nadine to the car and left the Gardner residence.On the other hand, Carlene kept quiet as she watched War Legate Draco departing with her daughter from the villa balcony. In her mind, the prophecy was closer to coming true.Nadine left with Adrian, just as prophesied.Soon afterward, a piece of important information spread throughout Southrive. It was about a group of Wyvern Peak personnel escorting the transportation of a glass coffin to the south. It was rumored that War Legate Draco would bury War Legate Achelous in Heroes Cemetery in the south.This information influenced Southrive.***Not long after Adrian left, a helicopter landed in the courtyard of the Gardner residence. Chase got out with two bodyguards, hi

Chase had been acting as the leader of the family over the years.But even though he was the head of the family, it was really Lennon who sacrificed himself for the family.It was clear that Chase had not expected the situation would be so awkward. He instantly furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Very well. Sisters, it seems that you feel the same way as Lennon, right? You choose to betray me in the end after all that I’ve done for the family.”Chase’s elder sister, Yara, said, “We didn’t betray you. It was you who betrayed the family. You hid our father’s and elder brother’s bodies here and refused to bury them so they may rest in peace. You’ve deceived everyone yet you still haven’t realized what you’ve done.”“I said that I was doing it for the family.”“No, you didn’t do it for the family, but for yourself. You did this so Internal Affairs could deprive the monarch of his roles then you’ll take Novemton for yourself. Let me tell you this. You’re a selfish person who will do anyth
