Chapter 733
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

After some time, Adrian arrived at Azure Creek University.This university was the largest in Navia, with the military academy and other faculties encased within it. The scale of the university was massive and was divided into eight campuses, and each campus was an independent school.The university had close to three million students.After entering Azure Creek University, Adrian got out of the car and said to Daniel, “Assign people to investigate the matter and inform the elders that we’ll be joining them for dinner tonight.”“All right, I’ll go do that now.”Daniel drove away upon saying that.Adrian walked toward the military academy campus with the gifts prepared by Rue and Samantha.There were thousands of students undergoing training at the training grounds. The sound of shouts was heard coming from the various training grounds and all the instructors were staring sternly at the students.Soon enough, Adrian spotted Juno’s training camp and walked toward it. The students

After briefly speaking to Kaiden, Adrian fell silent and stood there, watching Juno’s training.The second team had already completed the forced march around the training ground. All the students were bending over and breathing heavily. Meanwhile, someone noticed Kaiden and Adrian standing not far away.A female student tapped Juno’s shoulder and said softly, “Look, Juno. That man standing next to our instructor is really good-looking. They seem to be watching you.”All women enjoyed gossiping. A few female students looked over in unison and chimed in the conversation.“You’re right. That man is really handsome. He’s so manly!”“Is there such a person in our academy?”The women had a lively discussion.Juno looked over in puzzlement and was instantly stunned when she saw Adrian standing next to Kaiden. She recognized him at a glance. Juno was rather astonished and had not expected Adrian to show up in the academy.Noticing that Adrian was looking at her, Juno smiled, stood up

Adrian and Juno walked to the side.He asked, “You’ve been here for a few months now. How do you feel? Do you regret coming here? If you do, I can take you home.”Juno shook her head smilingly and said, “I don’t regret it. Why would I? I’m having a ball of a time here in the academy. Moreover, my mates are really nice. We train and learn together every day and go out to eat, chill, and have fun after class. I’ve never been happier.”Adrian patted Juno’s shoulder. “When Isla entrusted you to me, I didn’t expect that it’d turn out like this one day. This is a difficult path but I hope that you can persist.”“Why did you have to bring up my mother?” said Juno while pouting.“You have to remember her at all times. After all, it wasn’t easy for her. You have to learn to choose wisely, think thoroughly, and learn to control your emotions from now on.“I heard from Kai about your condition earlier. If your legs hurt, don’t force yourself. Remember to tell Kai in a timely manner, okay?”

A few battle warriors expressed their opinions in succession.Adrian ate silently.The ten elders watched him and waited for him to speak, including Martin.Adrian ate for a while, then said, “What’s your opinion, elders? Let’s hear it.”The elders exchanged glances with each other. The first elder said, “We won’t go along with this matter and worry ourselves. It’s your duty to deal with Chase. I believe that you’ll make the decision regarding Windton. We’re here today to discuss the Eight Hollows.”The severity of the situation with the Eight Hollows had surpassed the problem with Chase, and that was all the elders were interested in.Adrian beckoned the first elder to continue speaking while he ate his meal.“We already had a meeting to discuss the matter after receiving news from you today. It’s possible that the Eight Hollows are out and about because we’ve noticed some signs of disturbances as well,” said the first elder.Adrian raised his head to look toward the first eld

“Bring it here,” said Adrian.“Yes, sir,” Martin answered and procured the book.Adrian placed it on the table, beckoned, and said, “Take a look, everyone. We shall discuss strategy after everyone is done reading.”The battle warriors stood around the book and read it in silence while Adrian continued to eat.About fifteen minutes later, Lucas put down the book and said, “We’re done, sir.”Adrian asked, “Any opinion?”Lucas inhaled a deep breath. “My only opinion is that the book is amazing. How can someone in the past possibly know the future like the back of their hand? In fact, this person knew about us as well.”Caine said, “You’re right. It’s clear that this has surpassed our logical thinking and is way beyond our thinking methods. The contents of the book are unbelievable.”Adrian smiled upon hearing these opinions and then looked toward the elders, observing their expressions.When the elders were done reading, Adrian smiled and said, “Elders, do you find the book incre
