Chapter 728
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

After that, Nyssa held Terry’s hand and said, “Come on. Let’s go to your room. I’d like to have a look at it!”Terry nodded, and the siblings headed for the dormitories. When they arrived there, they spoke for quite a while, with Nyssa giving him a lot of life lessons.After sitting for a while, Nyssa noticed that her time with Terry was almost up, so she took out a card and handed it to him.“Here’s some money I’ve been saving over the years at Bloody Rose. I want you to take it. The passcode is your birthday. I have to head back to Swallowston with the legate soon.”“But we only just met. I thought we could have a meal together…” Terry said, reluctant to see his sister leave.However, Nyssa shook her head and said, “You’ve grown so much and have gotten used to living without me. You should have your own dreams now.“I’m now working at Wyvern Peak. Plus I would be dead if not for the legate, which is why I’ve got to go back. I’ll leave you my contact so that we can always stay i

Even though Nyssa had no idea what the book predicted, she believed that there was an enormous plot behind all this.Soon after, Adrian and Nyssa returned to Swallowston.Nyssa returned to Battle Warrior Tower to meet up with Ivy and the others while Adrian headed to Swallowston Hospital.Eternity was still recovering in the hospital after being defeated by him. He believed that he should be able to acquire some information from her.***Adrian arrived at the hospital and found that the place was guarded by Wyvern Peak’s members.“Sir, you’re here,” Blade said hastily. He was guarding Eternity in the hospital when he saw Adrian.“How is she?” Adrian asked.Blade joined Adrian in walking into an elevator. He said, “She’s awake and her limbs have been reattached. However, she has refused to speak. She won’t answer anything that we ask her.”Just as Adrian had speculated, the current Eternity was not the real Eternity but one in disguise. Her refusal to speak signified that she h

Upon hearing Emily’s remark, Adrian said, “Don’t worry, Emily. No one will treat you like an animal. You’ve seen what happened to Ivy and the others. Aren’t they living a good life now?”“They’re from Navia while I’m from Shaydon. My homeland and yours are bound by enmity. Aren’t you going to exact revenge on me now that you’ve captured me?”“You would already be dead if I wanted to seek revenge on you. You wouldn’t be lying in a hospital,” said Adrian.He then added, “There’s no difference in territory when it comes to life. You can be from Shaydon or Navia, but you’re still a life that’s a part of this world. Besides, I can see that you’re inherently kind.”“I…” Tears streamed down Emily’s face. No one had spoken to her in this manner for many years.She turned to look at Adrian and asked sincerely, “You’re Wyvern Peak’s leader, and many of your subordinates were killed at Shaydon. Don’t you hate those from Shaydon?”“I told you that there’s no difference in territory when it c

Adrian thought it was impossible that the Eight Hollows had appeared, as it was not the time for them to do so.Emily refuted this by saying, “Bloody Rose investigated this matter and came to a conclusion that it was them who showed up in the outlands, but we have no idea what the Eight Hollows were trying to achieve. You may look into this matter yourself.”Adrian furrowed his eyebrows. He had never paid attention to the Eight Hollows in the past because they had not shown up since Wyvern Peak was founded. They were untraceable throughout Navia’s history. However, that did not mean that they did not exist.“What else do you know?” asked Adrian.Emily answered without even thinking twice, “Bloody Rose is mutually built by many countries in the outlands, and Internal Affairs’ Chase holds a ten percent share in Bloody Rose.“Chase and Bloody Rose are working together. Their goal is to destroy Wyvern Peak. Hence, Bloody Rose is to assassinate those whose names appear in the prophecy.

“Wyvern Peak has yet to come to its demise. Neither have there been any orders from you and the ten elders. What could they possibly be up to? Out for some fresh air?”Adrian shook his head. “You shouldn’t put it that way. There’s no absolution in many situations.“I shall leave Southrive to you, Blade, and Storm. I’ll be heading to ACMA to figure out the Eight Hollows’ current location.”Mya nodded, understanding that if the Eight Hollows really had appeared, it was not a good omen. She said, “Understood, sir. I shall reach out to Lucas and the rest. When will you be departing?”“This afternoon.”Upon saying that, Adrian walked out of Battle Warrior Tower and entrusted Mya with a task by saying, “Alert me immediately if anything happens in Southrive during my absence.”***Adrian returned to One Jewel Road after he left Battle Warrior Tower. He wanted to inform Samantha before departing to Azure Creek in the afternoon.He told Samantha and Rue about his trip to Azure Creek whe

Adrian traveled all night long and arrived at Azure Creek the next morning.A man wearing a general’s insignia on the shoulder of his uniform was waiting at the entrance of the city with a troop of subordinates.The man was Daniel. Adrian had transferred him to Azure Creek, and he had not left since.Daniel led a troop of subordinates to welcome Adrian after he heard about Adrian’s purpose for visiting the city.“Welcome, sir.” He approached Adrian with his subordinates as soon as Adrian arrived in his car.Adrian said, “Let’s head to ACMA. We’ll talk on the way.”“Sure. Please get in, sir.” Daniel beckoned at a car.Adrian and Daniel got in and drove to Azure Creek University.As they entered the city, Adrian discovered many citizens were standing by the sides of the road. They were waving at him enthusiastically.Daniel chuckled and said after witnessing the scene, “The citizens of Azure Creek gathered on their own initiative to welcome your arrival hearing that War Legate D
