Chapter 665
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

Upon hearing Adrian's words, Kayn looked up and struggled to find the words.The living room was quiet as everyone waited for him to speak.After a while, Shirley urged him, “Go on? What are you waiting for?”Kayn stopped keeping everyone in suspense and lowered his head as he said, “Sir, I was indeed the one who gave Chase’s father that book. It was also me who leaked the information to Chase. It was all my doing.”Upon hearing this, Shirley widened her eyes in disbelief.Adrian had already suspected as much, so he was not surprised.Mya asked, “I know that you know full well what you’ve been doing, so why did you do it?”“Because Wyvern Peak killed my lover,” Kayn replied.“We killed your lover?”Kayn nodded, while Shirley furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Is this the lover Mother mentioned before?”Kayn did not refute and said, “Yes, that’s her. She died in the hands of those from Wyvern Peak, so I wanted to avenge her.”“Do you know how many deaths you’ve caused out of y

He said, “Millie was beautiful. The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. However, she was beheaded by Wyvern Peak, and I saw it with my own eyes.”“Carry on.” Mya urged.“After her death, I fled back home with nothing else but vengeance in my mind. Later on, I stumbled upon Heroes of Wyvern Peak. It was given to me by a farmer who lived in the mountains.”“Who’s the author of the book? What is it based on?” Adrian asked.Kayn thought for a long time before he answered, “According to the farmer, he found the book in the mountains. After doing some research on it, I suspected that the book was written by a powerful master who was proficient in astrology. Moreover, the book was written just as Wyvern Peak was established. I searched through various ancient books and historical records. Finally, I was able to deduce that the author of the book was Hannibal Hurst.”“Hannibal Hurst?” Mya frowned.Adrian explained, “Hannibal was famous for his military strategies. He once helped the emp

Kayn lowered his head and said nothing.Christina was so angry that she wanted to go up and slap him. However, Adrian stepped in and said, “Stand back, Christina. I still have some questions for him.”After Christina stepped back as she was told, Adrian continued, “That time more than a decade ago when you first saw me at St. Elmer’s Church… Why did you tell my father what you said?”Kayn recalled and shook his head. “I was researching the book from behind the scenes and you just so happen to come up during my investigations. Everything I said to your father at the time was based on the prophecy, but I never thought it’d be referring to you.”“Did you intentionally try to meet me a few days ago?” Adrian asked.“You could say that. I was broke and went to Charles’ church to seek help. I unexpectedly met you there again. That’s when I thought I’d try to show off a little. I wasn’t expecting for you to be so cautious that you'd start investigating me because of the things I said,” Ka

“Joanne, Nadine, Adaline… Their names all crop up in the prophecy. And the only way to save them is to know what the prophecy is. I believe you wouldn’t disregard your own family now, would you?” Kayn smiled.It sounded like he had brought out some substantial leverage.Yet, just as Kayn thought Adrian would not dare kill him, Adrian sliced his palm across Kayn’s neck, causing his gaze to fade away and his body to tremble as his head rolled onto the floor.“Aah!”“Aah!”Christina and Shirley screamed the moment they realized what had happened.Kayn had died within seconds, leaving Christina stunned.Shirley felt her scalp tingle as she yelled, “Father!”Yet, Kayn’s head remained lifelessly still.At that moment, the mother and daughter stared at Adrian and realized he had turned into a completely different man.“Nobody is allowed to hold any leverage over me,” Adrian said as he brought out a napkin to wipe the blood off his hand. “If I were Kayn, I would’ve recorded the conte

The mother and daughter were stunned and speechless when they heard this.In their mind, they always thought of Adrian as a kind and mature man. Yet, on that very day, he had shown them his cruel side, causing the two to see him in a totally different light.They merely stared at Adrian silently as he walked away.***That night, a huge incident happened at St. Elmer’s Church in Swallowston.Mya personally led Wyvern Peak’s soldiers to surround the church before ordering more than a hundred men to dig three feet under the church to see if Kayn had left anything there.It was already late at night, and nobody in Swallowston knew what was happening. Under the cover of darkness, Adrian stood outside the church with his hands behind his back, seeming extremely calm.The soldiers quickly searched through the church. Blade walked over and said, “Sir, we’ve searched through the entire church but found nothing suspicious. Is it possible that he didn’t leave it here?”Adrian believed th

Just as Blade was about to lead a few men down to the hidden room, a silhouette rushed out from within.“Be careful!” Adrian shouted.The person down there was so quick that Blade could not react in time. Adrian quickly pulled Blade backward when he saw that the person was about to attack him. Then, the person came out of the hidden room, dressed in white and wearing a ponytail.The person had no plans of staying there for much longer and quickly dismantled the soldiers and beat them unconscious.“Bye-bye, my friends from Wyvern Peak.”The voice definitely belonged to a woman, and she instantly disappeared, followed by a cloud of smoke.“Get down!” Adrian said.Everyone’s first instinct upon hearing this was to lay low, while Adrian turned around to evade the incoming attack. An explosion happened right after, but nobody was hurt since the blast radius was small.As the smoke subsided, Blade angrily yelled, “F*ck! It was a woman! How dare she get in our way! I’m going to make h
