Chapter 710
However, Adrian got up and left without explaining anything.***Ivy and the others returned to their respective rooms to get some rest. Probably due to fatigue from the chaos of the past few days. they all slept until twelve midnight, which was when Mya woke them up.The women recalled what Adrian said that morning and were curious about what kind of show Adrian was going to put on, so Ivy, Eira, and the rest got out of their beds and quickly washed their faces. After they were all gathered, Ivy led them to meet up with Adrian, who had already been waiting outside the tower for a long time.The moment they arrived, Mya said, “Your battle suits are inside the vehicle, so gear up, adjust your communicators, and get ready. We’re leaving in ten minutes.”The women took out their gears from the vehicle upon hearing this. They were battle suits that Mya had spent the day getting ready for them.The Ivy Sisters quickly changed into their gear, seeming extremely excited while doing so a

These were women who had been living in the shadows for a long time, so it made sense they would be extra sensitive to anything or anyone outside of their lives.They did not need to be moved, nor did they need anyone’s trust.What they needed was to stay alive.The reason why Eira questioned Ivy was that she and the others did not understand Adrian’s ways. In fact, they did not even hold any high hopes for him.They were only staying with him as a means to their survival.“Eira’s right, Ivy. Draco’s clearly a bad person to have around. Who knows what will happen to us if we stay here,” one of the other women said with her lips pursed.“We’re all displeased with Draco, plus, we don’t even know what Wyvern Peak wants.”“I mean, are we supposed to help him if Wyvern Peak wants us to clean up Internal Affairs and overthrow the emperor?”The women began making wild assumptions, causing Ivy to sigh helplessly. “I know you all have your grievances, but we’re completely out of options

An explosion suddenly erupted from the street, making a deafening boom.Everyone looked over and saw that the SUV driving on the streets had exploded with thick smoke coming from it. The entire street instantly crumbled, leaving the vehicle stuck in between the cracks that opened up.At that moment, a voice spoke through everyone’s communicators, “They’re here, sir!”Naturally, Eira and the others heard this since they were all wearing their communicators.‘They?’The women seemed confused for a moment, while Adrian stood up and said, “I see that.”He watched the halted vehicle, from which five men in Wyvern Peak’s battle suits got out. At the same time, more than a hundred assassins swarmed toward them from the forest.These assassins were extremely quick, surrounding them from all directions within seconds.“It’s them!” Ivy said in shock when she saw the assassins.Immediately after she said this, Eira and the other women trembled, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

But when Ivy saw how determined Adrian was, she took a deep breath and said, “Nyssa, Arianne, Phoenix, Jenine… Go assist them. But do be careful.”The women locked their sights on the battle below. Immediately upon receiving their orders, they drew their daggers and sped down the mountains toward the street.The other women started trembling when the four left. Some were even tearing up.Ivy was most definitely in tears as she looked at Adrian. “Surely there are other ways to have us killed, right? You’ve clearly sent the four of them to their deaths. They’re naturally frightened of assassins and can’t muster up any fighting spirit under such circumstances!”Adrian chose not to answer Ivy’s question.Evident from their swooping shadow, Nyssa and the others were almost at the battlefield. Ivy saw this and became even more anxious. “Why aren’t you answering me? We’re all pitiful women who were bullied back in Bloody Rose, but that’s fine. Why would you do such a thing to us after we

The women seemed a lot calmer now, perhaps due to the arrival of Wyvern Peak’s soldiers. Even Ivy seemed a lot more docile.She immediately gave out an order, “Nyssa, the legate has ordered that you four retrieve the book from the car immediately.”“Understood!” replied the four in unison.Four beautiful figures swooped toward the car amidst the thousands of Wyvern Peak soldiers.Ivy put down her communicator and turned toward Adrian. “Are you crazy? Is there even a need for that many soldiers just to go up against a hundred assassins? Why would you cause such a huge ruckus?”Still, Adrian refused to answer.Mya shot Ivy a glance and asked, “Do you think we’re all as emotional as you are? Now stop uttering nonsense and keep quiet.”Ivy was stumped by Mya’s words, while the other women quietly watched the scene unfold.Bloody Rose’s hundred assassins were instantly dispatched when Wyvern Peak’s soldiers showed up, leaving them stunned.On the distant mountaintop, a sudden intim

A loud “boom” was heard the moment both punches connected, followed by a powerful shockwave that spread in all directions.Everyone found it hard to keep their eyes open at that moment.Immediately after that, the figure took a few steps back and abruptly stopped in its tracks.Nyssa opened her eyes after the shockwave was over and realized that Adrian was standing before her and had received the punch that would have otherwise taken her life. Stunned, her legs gave way as she gasped heavily.Watching from atop the mountains, Ivy heaved a sigh of relief when she saw what had happened. She and the others only realized that Adrian was no longer sitting there when they turned around.They thought Nyssa was a dead woman for sure, but were now surprised had Adrian chosen to save her.“Are you all right, Nyssa?” Arianne, Phoenix, and Jenine ran over to help Nyssa on her feet.Nyssa merely shook her head and gazed at Adrian’s back in a daze. She then looked toward the woman who was dre

Upon hearing Eternity’s voice, Ivy warned Adrian, “Something’s off about her, Draco. There’s no way she’d show up here alone. I’m sure there are other people from Bloody Rose somewhere nearby.”Adrian said nothing but stood before Eternity with his hands behind his back.When Eternity laid her eyes on Ivy, she smiled and said, “Looks like Bloody Rose has been too kind to you all. I’m going to deal with all the Navian women when I get back.”“You wouldn’t!” Ivy yelled.Eternity merely smiled in return.Eira gripped her dagger tightly as she said, “You killed our families and took everything from us. If you dare harm any of our sisters back there, we’ll come for you for vengeance. This I swear!”“In that case, shall we see if you all are actually capable of doing so?”After that, Eternity turned toward Adrian and continued, “I’ve heard so much about you, War Legate Draco. Looks like I really underestimated you. I didn’t think you’d be capable of forcing me to show myself.“But un

“Why else would I make you show yourself?” Adrian asked.Eternity was now enraged. In her mind, Adrian should be a lot more anxious and helpless at the sight of her appearing. Yet, it was obvious he was completely ignoring her power.Eternity would never face such treatment back in the outlands. But now, she has experienced it, thanks to Adrian.‘He’s looking down on me.’At that moment, Eternity’s fists were clenched as she unleashed her rage.Seeing this, Mya, Storm, Ivy, and the others clenched their fists, ready to fight.“Stand back, all of you,” Adrian commanded.“But she’s Eternity. You can’t—”“Stand back!” Adrian cut Ivy off.Ivy and the others gradually released their clenched fists when they heard this and stood back. So did Mya and Storm.When Eternity saw this, she coldly said, “Is this the stance you’re going to take, Draco? To be honest, I’ve never thought of you people as a threat, and naturally, nor have I ever regarded you as some kind of hotshot.“But…are
