Adrian and Juno chatted for a while more before Juno returned to her dorm to rest.The next day, Adrian did not plan to stay any longer in Azure Creek and so parted ways with Lucas and the rest. Before he left Azure Creek, he ordered Lucas, Raquel, and the others to return to Swallowston while he departed from Azure Creek to Windton.After briefing Lucas and the others, Adrian said, “Go back and tell Mya that I will meet her in Windton two days from now.”Lucas nodded. “All right, we shall part ways here. There are some of our people at Windton too.”Adrian did not comment further and got into the car. However, he remembered someone and asked, “Oh right, Lucas. Where’s Barry?”Lucas answered, “I sent the lad back to Swallowston. He’s there currently.”“Okay. See you later.”Upon saying that, Adrian drove away.After watching him depart, Lucas turned around to look at the others. “We should head to Swallowston now that the legate has left. I heard that there are a few Bloody Ros

After two days of arduous traveling, Adrian was starving.He looked over the hotel and walked into the building.“Welcome, handsome!” a woman wearing a uniform approached him and said with a respectful smile.Adrian sized up the hotel and found that although it was small, there were quite a number of people eating there. He found himself a table and took a seat. He raised his head and said to the beautiful woman, “Uh, pretty miss, I’d like to meet your boss. Can you please help me to get him?”The woman was stunned and smiled at Adrian while she said, “Handsome, I’m the owner of this establishment.”“What?” Adrian rubbed his eyes and said in a gloomy tone, “Mya didn’t tell me that Blaze was a woman. Don’t tell me that you’re a man who has undergone gender-reassignment surgery.”The woman sniggered and said, “Ah, I see. You’re looking for Blaze huh? You should’ve told me earlier. That’s my husband. Are you his comrade?”Adrian was enlightened and hastily said, “Uh, I’m sorry for

Phoebe could not refrain herself from complimenting War Legate Draco because it was her first time meeting him.Adrian was not bothered by this. Blaze and he began sipping coffee.Blaze said, “Sir, there are ten houses in Windton comprised of Easter House, Vega House, Cook, King, Westfall, Dunn, and others. Eighty-five percent of the people in this city have these last names and Chase’s spies are everywhere here. It won’t be easy to conduct an investigation here.”This was precisely the mischief that Chase was up to in secret.The people from the ten houses made up eighty-five percent of the city’s total population and the ten houses followed Chase’s leadership. If he grows powerful here, it would have a significant impact on the country.One could say that Chase was the wealthiest man in the country and that he had no lack of money.Adrian took a sip of coffee and looked at Blaze. “How many comrades do we have in Windton?”“Four to five thousand,” answered Blaze.When Wyvern P

Blaze said, “If I’m not mistaken, they keep their information hidden underground. They’ve fortified their basements with traps and keep it very well-hidden so that they can’t be found easily.”Upon hearing this, Adrian glanced at Blaze. “So, one would need to acquire the information openly for sure. Or, we should say that one would need to do it by force.”Blaze agreed. However, he added by saying, “The problem is, they’ll burn the information without any hesitation if they find out about our motive. So, we have a bit of a dilemma.”Adrian shrugged. Things would not work out if they were to do it sneakily due to the vast amount of information. But if they were to do it openly and forcefully, their efforts would be in vain if the houses were to burn the information.Adrian kept quiet for a long time. After a while, he said to Blade, “Go and meet Alan tonight while I take a stroll around Windton to figure out a plan.”“Okay, sir. I’ll meet up with Alan tonight.”Adrian nodded and d

Alan jumped up from the sofa upon receiving the text and called out to his sister who was in her room. “Elaine, I’m heading out!”Elaine walked out of her room and asked, “Where are you going?”“Blaze invited me out for a drink,” answered Alan.Elaine stamped her foot in rage upon hearing this. She said to Alan, “Will you please make some normal friends? You should stay away from Wyvern Peak’s members. Don’t associate with them because it’s not good for you!”Elaine did not have a favorable impression of Wyvern Peak because she was born into Cook house. She heard from her grandfather that Wyvern Peak was their enemy. Hence, she had always felt unsettled about Alan’s identity as a soldier of Wyvern Peak.She wanted Alan to distance himself from Wyvern Peak.Alan did not mind Elaine’s remark and answered casually, “We’re just going for some drinks. I’ll be going now!”He headed downstairs upon saying that.Elaine heaved a sigh. However, she could not rest easy knowing that Alan w

Blaze shook his head and said, “I’m not looking to borrow money this time. I have something else to talk to you about.”Alan said, “Go ahead, bud. We fought side-by-side in wars, so I’ll take care of anything for you in Windton.”“The legate is here,” said Blaze.Alan was instantly stunned. He looked at Blaze and said, “What did you say?”Blaze repeated, “War Legate Draco is here.”Upon hearing this, Alan inhaled a deep breath, put down his glass, and patted his forehead. He said, “When did he get here? Why am I unaware of this matter?”“No one knows. He came to me directly. Mya’s here too.”“What for?” asked Alan.Blaze took a sip of his drink, tutted, and said, “You know. He’s here for the ten houses because that’s the only way to overthrow Chase. I understand that you may have trouble accepting this as your family will fall too if Chase is eliminated.”Alan took a couple of swigs of his drink before he put down his glass. He appeared to be frustrated. After a long time, he

“Ow!”Elaine and Adrian collided with each other, with her forehead slamming into Adrian’s chin.Elaine toppled over from the impact and was in pain. Adrian instinctively grabbed her hand to prevent her from falling to the ground.Elaine steadied herself and took two steps back. She was about to berate Adrian but was stunned as soon as she laid eyes on him. She felt her heart jump out of her chest.‘He’s… He’s so handsome!’ Elaine thought to herself, her mind running wild.“Are you all right?” Adrian asked Elaine.Elaine was head over heels. She stared at Adrian with her beautiful, shimmering eyes as if she wanted to swallow him whole.Adrian was stunned by the way Elaine was looking at him. He looked her up and down as well. Elaine’s beauty was considered rather outstanding among women in terms of both her facial features and her figure.Elaine’s heart was racing from infatuation at this very moment. As a result, she had not caught a word of what Adrian said.Adrian did not c

Alan and Blaze ended their meetup at eleven o’clock and returned to their homes.Alan returned to the living room of his house, finding Elaine in her pajamas. She was lying on the sofa and staring at her phone screen with one hand propping her chin up. She looked like she was imagining something.Upon noticing the situation, Alan said in puzzlement, “What the heck is going on with you, Elaine? Who’s on the phone? Show it to me!”Alan reached out to snatch Elaine’s phone. She hastily put it away and said, “I won’t tell. Where were you today? I looked everywhere for you.”“I told you that I was meeting a friend for a drink. Let’s not divert the topic of conversation here. I saw a man on your phone’s screen. Who is that? Your boyfriend?” asked Alan.Elaine blushed scarlet as she said shyly, “He’s my crush, and I won’t tell you!”Alan glared at his sister and inquired further in a displeased tone, “You should use me as a standard when it comes to choosing a boyfriend. Look at my abs.
