Chapter 719
Eternity laid on the ground with her eyes closed, causing others to feel slightly heartbroken for her.Ivy got down on one knee and looked at Eternity’s cold yet beautiful face and heaved a long sigh. “Who would’ve thought that the woman we were so afraid of actually looks like this… Looks like she feels fear too, after all.”“You’re right, Ivy. In the past, I thought she was a fearless woman.” Eira smiled with her lips pursed.“She’s an evil woman. There’s no need for us to feel any sympathy for her. Let’s just kill her and be over with this.” Jenine pursed her lips.The women started discussing Eternity’s looks. However, right at that moment, Adrian got down on one knee and touched her abdomen.When Eira saw this, she quickly looked at Adrian and asked, “What are you doing? Surely you’re not going to sexually harass her while she’s unconscious, are you? I know she’s not a pretty woman, but—”Adrian said nothing and proceeded to unzip Eternity’s clothes to reveal her abdomen, re

“Which serves you…how?”“My soldiers captured their assassins alive, which forced them to come up with a new idea to obtain the book. So, I had my men stand back while Nyssa and the others returned with the book so that she could have a chance to take the book herself,” Adrian replied.“I see…” Ivy seemed enlightened as she pointed at Adrian and said, “I get it now. You caused all that ruckus to lure her out into the open, didn’t you?”Adrian smiled, “Looks like there’s hope for you after all!”“Shut up.”“I’m serious!”Ivy seemed very sincere as she said, “I thought you wanted to make us your cannon fodder. I didn’t think about anything like this. You made me seem like I’ve been rather petty.”“I’m glad you realized that.”Ivy said nothing more.However, it was exactly because of this incident that her opinion toward Adrian had changed, very slightly.***Everyone soon arrived back at Battle Warrior Tower.Mya headed off to deal with the woman they arrested, while Adrian l

Nyssa’s face was completely drenched at this point, filled with grief.Her outpouring of emotions pulled on Adrian’s heartstrings.‘This is the thing most people would ask for in this world.’Looking at Nyssa, Adrian pursed his lips and reached out his hand to pull her back to her feet. “Go back and get some rest. I’ll find your brother in five days, I promise.”“Thank you, sir!” Nyssa cried.Adrian smiled and said, “Go on.”Thus, Nyssa happily returned to the tower, while Adrian left.***Over the next few days, Adrian trained his attention on “Eternity,” the one that was lying in the hospital. He asked Mya to keep tabs on her status at all times so that he could interrogate her whenever.Aside from that, he had also asked Blade and Storm to look into Terry’s whereabouts.Perhaps due to the operation a few days ago, Ivy and the other women now saw Adrian in a new light, causing them to be a lot more obedient, especially Nyssa.In fact, Nyssa now saw Adrian in a completely d

Nyssa happily jogged to her room and changed into a short skirt.Ten minutes later, she walked out of the tower, where Adrian had been waiting in his car.Adrian punched the accelerator after Nyssa got in. Inside, he said, “Terry’s not even seventeen this year, is he?”Nyssa hummed in acknowledgment. “He’s just celebrated his sixteenth birthday, so he isn’t seventeen yet. Where is he, sir?”With a smile, Adrian said, “He’s been living pretty well actually. He wandered around in Wellborough for a few years before the headmaster of Wellborough High took him in out of pity, even sponsoring his studies. Terry’s just got into high school. He’s in his first year.”Wellborough was within Southrive, the same as Swallowston. Moreover, Wyvern Peak was in control of all of Southrive.Nyssa became extremely excited when she heard Adrian’s words. “He’s been alone ever since our parents died. I’m surprised to see he has managed to stay strong all these years. I’m also surprised he crossed path
Chapter 723
The old woman was Cheshire Tate, Owen’s wife, who had experienced many helpless situations throughout her life with Owen.Hearing this, Owen turned around and asked, “Why don’t you have money to buy meat? Didn’t I just give you some money yesterday?”Cheshire felt a wave of helplessness when she heard this.“Have you forgotten that money was used to pay off our water and electricity bills? You spend most of your salary on your students. When are you going to start saving it up a little?“Just look at yourself. None of your children are willing to take care of you, and we don’t even have the money to buy something as simple as meat!”Cheshire was on the verge of tears. This was because Owen spent most of his salary on his students, which caused his son and daughter to abandon him.However, Cheshire’s words did not seem to faze Owen, who continued to water the plants as he said, “Ask our daughter to lend us some money. I’ll pay her back when I get my salary in a few days' time.”“

Owen followed up and said, “Let’s talk inside, sir!”“I’m actually here for two things, Mr. Owen. First, I’m here for a student of yours. Second, I’m here to give you a sponsorship.”“What?”Amid Owen’s confusion, Adrian snapped his fingers. Immediately after that, more than a dozen people got out of the cars, each carrying two briefcases, which were all placed in front of Owen.“There’s a total of fifteen million dollars here.”“Fifteen million dollars?!” Cheshire’s eyes widened.“Why would you give me this much money?” Owen asked.“It’s a gesture from Wyvern Peak. I know you’ve sponsored many orphans so that they get the chance to study, and that you’ve spent a lot of money and effort doing so. Thus, this money is a gesture from Wyvern Peak, and we hope you’ll be able to continue using this money on your students’ studies.”“What?!”Owen became nervous, while Cheshire said, “B-But this is too much, we will never finish spending it. Please take it back with you. We haven’t do
Chapter 725
Cheshire was about to say something, but Adrian had walked away from her to walk alongside Owen.Thus, she sighed and dragged all the briefcases inside the house.***Adrian, Nyssa, and Owen headed to one of the classrooms on campus.The two listened to Owen talk about Terry along the way, and Nyssa felt extremely excited upon hearing all of it.At that moment, a young man around sixteen years old was sitting inside a classroom meant for first-years. It was a Sunday today, so most students had gone home. He was the only one sitting inside, focused on his studies.This young man was, no doubt, Terry Jade.Terry’s life was different from others, what with losing his parents at an early age, and his older sister he had been relying on disappeared when he was ten. He dreamt of going through every city when he grew up and was capable enough to look for her, which was the only thing that was keeping him going.It was also his only reason to live.He wanted to find his sister, dead o

Nyssa looked at him and asked, “Terry Jade, Do you really not know who I am?”Startled once more, Terry turned around to look at Nyssa, whose eyes seemed to have turned red as she struggled to hold back her tears.At that moment, Terry stood up and took a closer look at Nyssa. He did feel that she was familiar, yet he was unable to recall who she was.“You…You look very much like someone I know,” Terry said.Nyssa wiped her tears and asked, “Go on. Who do I look like?”“You look like my sister. My biological older sister. She disappeared six years ago, and I haven’t seen her since. You look a lot like her, but different at the same time, it’s strange…”Nyssa took a deep breath when she heard this. After that, she pulled her long hair back, revealing her forehead. After that, she tied her hair into a ponytail with a hairband.“Look again and see if you can recognize me now.”Terry did as he was told, but this time, his entire body trembled as he was stunned.Seeming to be in di
