“Let go of me! Let go!”Kayn was lifted up and dragged by a group of soldiers. A wave of fear overcame him, causing him to struggle relentlessly.Yet, his struggles were obviously in vain.Soon enough, Kayn was dragged in front of Adrian. When he saw Adrian, he was clearly not as calm as he was in the past. Instead, a wave of panic shrouded him.After Kayn was thrown to the ground, he raised his head and looked at Adrian in horror.“We meet again, Clayman,” Adrian smiled at him.Kayn, not knowing what to say, just nodded his head in agreement.Seeing this, Adrian laughed, “It’s unfortunate that we’re meeting under such circumstances despite how mysterious I thought you were when we last met.”Kayn breathed heavily and said, “Sir, I helped you take over Wyvern Peak. You should be thanking me. Is this how you treat your benefactor?”“My benefactor?” Adrian chuckled. “Have you seriously been under that impression this whole time? Come to think of it, I once thought you were the t

However, the reason for the cordoning of St. Elmer's Church was not disclosed, which became a hot topic of discussion among the public.***It was already eleven in the evening by the time Adrian returned home, and Samantha had already fallen asleep. Since getting pregnant, Samantha’s belly had been growing by the day, and so was the baby she was carrying.Adrian took a cold shower before getting into bed, ready to get some rest. However, his phone rang right at that moment.Daniel had sent him a message with a video attached to it. Adrian clicked on the video and discovered that it was about Juno.In the video, Juno was undergoing physical training at ACMA, and it was very evident she was working hard. Despite her legs trembling and her clothes soaked with sweat, she persisted and constantly pushed herself to her limits.After watching the video, Adrian put down his phone and lay down next to Samantha.“Did you find Kayn?” Samantha's voice came just as he lay down.Adrian was

After a whole night of sleep, Adrian had breakfast and headed to the Battle Warrior headquarters in Swallowston.As soon as Adrian arrived downstairs at the department, he saw Shirley anxiously waiting for him.The moment Shirley saw Adrian approaching, she hurried over and said, “Adrian, you're here! I've been waiting for you for so long.”Shirley and her mother, Christina, had moved from Southeast to Swallowston and were temporarily staying at the department, courtesy of Adrian.Last night, Shirley heard that Adrian had managed to apprehend Kayn, which was why she was waiting for Adrian this morning.“What's up?” Adrian asked her.Shirley bit her lip and grabbed Adrian's arm, saying, “I heard that you found Kayn. I’d like to see him. Is that okay? I mean, he's my father, after all.”Adrian took a moment to think before answering Shirley’s question. He shook his head and said, “I can’t let you see him yet.”“Why not?” Shirley said, dissatisfied. “He’s my father. Why can’t I se

“One time when we were drinking, he told me something about Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs. He said that he predicted who the legate of Wyvern Peak would be, and that War Legate Draco owed his position all to his prophecy.“He also said that the next legate of Wyvern Peak would be a woman,” Charles confessed.Mya looked at Adrian and furrowed her brows. “Sir, does this really mean Juno is going to become the next legate?”Adrian did not reply as the decision ultimately rested with him. Ignoring Mya's question, he turned to Charles and said, “So, you’re a drinker, huh? I thought I heard you’ve sworn off alcohol?”Charles replied awkwardly, “Yes, I did. but who could possibly resist having a drink or two sometimes?”“I understand.” Adrian laughed. “So, did you put on that entire show last night just to prove to the world that I’d submit to you?”Charles did not dare to speak.Adrian continued, “Looks like you and I both have a penchant for putting on shows, but that’s not an iss

“The future?”Kayn heaved a sigh of relief and seemed to relax a little. With a smile, he said, “Surely there’s no need for all this if talking about the future’s all you want, sir. I was able to predict you becoming the legate more than a decade ago, which means I’m able to predict your future now. However, you’re aware this is a secret, aren’t you?“I lost my legs because of that first secret I leaked to you.”Kayn patted his phantom legs as he spoke.Seeing this, Adrian said, “You’ve mentioned multiple times how you’re able to predict my future. But the question now is are you able to predict your own future?”Kayn was slightly startled, clearly not expecting Adrian to ask that. He pondered for a long time as though he did not have an answer.“That’s a very good question, sir. In fact, I have predicted my own future not too long ago. However, I can’t tell you what I surmised.”Kayn wanted to maintain his air of mystery for Adrian to believe that he did indeed possess powers.

Adrian's face was filled with a smile, but his smile made Kayn feel very uneasy—terrified even.Kayn's expression had completely changed at this point because Adrian's words made him feel like he was going to suffer a crisis. He said, “I may be proficient in astrology, but I’m unable to help the dead pass on. You should find someone more suitable for this job.”Adrian replied, “No worries, Kayn. However, I am curious from whom you learned your abilities. I recall a woman named Christina saying she had no idea you possessed such powers.”“What?!”Kayn was taken aback, while Adrian continued, “I met a girl named Shirley a few days ago. She’s a rather nice girl who’s actually here right now. She even pestered me to take her out for some sightseeing. Do you know who she is?”Kayn turned pale and trembled, no longer able to remain calm at this point.“Wh-What are you doing?” he asked.“Oh! It’s not me who’s going to do anything. It’s you. Are you aware of the times we live in right n

Kayn trembled. The development of his situation had clearly exceeded his imagination.He was now able to tell that Adrian was suspicious of him, but he had never even considered the possibility of all that happening. In his mind, Heroes of Wyvern Peak was supposed to be untraceable, so he wondered how Adrian found out about it.While Kayn took a deep breath, Adrian tapped the table with his index finger, waiting for a response.After a long while, Kayn said, “I wasn’t expecting you to be this smart, sir. I thought you would think of me as a benefactor after I showed up in front of you last time. I wasn't expecting you to suspect me."Adrian's expression remained calm and did not answer.Meanwhile, Mya said, “The legate is a man of principles and has never believed in unscientific stuff like being able to predict the future. So, do you regret your actions now? All you’ve done in your life is make mistake after mistake. I bet you weren’t expecting the legate to look into your backgr

Shirley, who was wearing a long dress, anxiously ran into the lobby.When she saw Kayn on the sofa, she froze. On the other hand, Kayn’s fierce expression changed the moment he turned his head around and locked eyes with his daughter.“S-Shirley... Is it really you?” Kayn said excitedly when he saw her.Shirley stood there in a daze. Her last memory of Kayn, her father, was back when she was in her teens. Now that she was in her twenties, it has been almost a decade since she last saw him.At that moment, Shirley covered her mouth with one hand as tears welled up in her eyes.“Shirley,” Kayn called out again.Despite his divorce from Christina, Shirley was still his daughter at the end of the day, and his only living relative in the world.For a moment, Shirley had no idea what to say in that situation. She wiped her tears and turned to Adrian, asking, “Is he Kayn, Adrian? Why does he look so disheveled?”Adrian nodded and motioned for Shirley to sit next to him.Obediently, S
