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

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

Faced with her brother’s hatred, Nyssa was at a loss for a moment.With her face drenched in her tears, she grabbed Terry’s hand and said, “Please, Terry… Please forgive me. Please!”Maybe Terry could not accept his sister abandoning him, or he was trying to release all of the hatred he had pent up deep inside of him. He pushed Nyssa’s hand away and ran out of the classroom.However, he immediately bumped into Adrian right upon exiting the classroom, sending him to the floor.Terry covered his forehead, which was causing him a lot of pain at that moment.“Terry!” Nyssa ran over to help her little brother to his feet.Terry stared at Adrian for a few seconds after he got back up before asking, “Who are you? Could you please let me go through?”However, Adrian did not budge.Nyssa quickly said, “Mind your words, Terry. Hurry up and greet War Legate Draco properly.”“War Legate Draco?”Terry felt shocked and stared at Adrian for a while longer.It was well-known that War Legate

Without saying a word, Terry followed Adrian to the field.There, Adrian stopped and turned to Terry. “Actually, there’s no rich or poor when it comes to dreams. Plus, who told you Azure Creek is a poor place? I can say with confidence that Azure Creek is the wealthiest place in our country.”Terry replied, “I’m not an idiot, you know. Azure Creek has gone through more than a thousand battles with many sacrifices, so how do you expect a place like that to be wealthy?”Adrian thought that this statement was funny.‘Looks like Terry’s been reading up on his history.’At that thought, he smiled and said, “Sometimes, having money doesn’t mean that place is wealthy. Instead, it’s the mentality that makes one truly wealthy.”“What do you mean? I don’t understand.” Terry shook his head.“One’s mental wealth originates from their hearts—their dreams. Would one even be considered human if they don’t have any dreams?”Terry thought about it for a while and replied, “I get what you mean n

Terry stood there in a daze. He turned to look at Nyssa once more, who was smiling at him.He then turned back and asked, “Who kidnapped Nyssa? Why would they do such a thing?”Adrian replied honestly, “It was Bloody Rose—an organization from the outlands. They’ve kidnapped many young women to nurture them into killers. Your sister was only one of many.”Terry took a deep breath, not expecting to hear that answer. Even though Nyssa left him six years ago, he had no idea she had been kidnapped.He walked over to Nyssa before getting down on his knees. “I’m sorry, Nyssa. I had no idea you’ve gone through so much. I’m sorry for what I said before.”Nyssa smiled and stroked Terry’s hair. “It’s all right, I’m fine now. War Legate Draco saved me, and I’m doing much better by working for him.”Terry got up and turned toward Adrian. “Will I be able to change everything if I get into ACMA? Will I be able to destroy Bloody Rose to avenge my sister and all the other women?”“That’s only if
