Chapter 753
Elaine felt as if time had stopped.Her survival would be determined at this very moment.Elaine never expected her dream man to be willing to kill a woman. She thought about many things at this crucial juncture of her life. Staring at Adrian, her face covered in tears, she looked extremely aggrieved.But at this very moment, a voice suddenly said, “Please calm down, sir! My sister didn’t know any better. Please spare her!”As the voice faded, Alan ran over from a distance and bowed before Adrian. He bowed repeatedly.Adrian asked in puzzlement upon seeing Alan, “Who are you?”Alan raised his head and said in a panicked tone, “I’m a subordinate of Wyvern Peak’s Battle Warrior Caine, sir. My name is Alan Cook, and my moniker is Scorpio. My sister didn’t know any better and offended you. Please spare her on the account that I’m a member of Wyvern Peak, sir!”Adrian hesitated for a brief moment upon hearing this. Then, he loosened his grip over Elaine’s throat.Elaine fell to the

After a while, Adrian said, “You’re members of the Cook family and a part of the ten houses. I won’t tell you much just because you’re a member of Wyvern Peak. I sent Blaze to meet you because I hope that you can understand why Wyvern Peak is doing everything that it is doing.”“I understand! I understand!” Alan nodded hastily.Elaine said while crying, “What do you understand? It’d be great if Wyvern Peak would just follow Internal Affairs’ management, right? Why do you have to insist on overthrowing Internal Affairs? At the end of the day, you’re just trying to solicit advantages from this!”“Shut your mouth!” Alan roared.Elaine wiped her tears.Upon noticing the situation, Blaze hastily said, “Elaine, the situation is not as simple as you imagine. This is because your vision is limited, and you can’t see the future. However, the legate can.”“His so-called future is built upon others’ corpses. If Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs were to have a fallout, it’s the common people

Elaine was stunned.This was the first time her brother had lost his temper at her like this, and she was at a loss for what to do.This choice could prove fatal to Alan.***Adrian was still walking down a street in Windton when Blaze already caught up to him and said, “Sir, Alan is in a difficult position. He has his family on one side and his comrades on the other. It won’t be easy for him to make a choice.”Adrian knew this, However, he would not make a decision based on one person when Wyvern Peak’s safety was involved.“How are things with Mya?” asked Adrian.Blaze nodded and said, “She has already gathered all the comrades living in Windton. There are a total of five thousand and two hundred people currently gathered in a yard outside of the city. Everyone’s already there.”“Let’s head over,” said Adrian.“Yes, sir.”Upon saying that, Blaze acquired a car and, along with Adrian, drove to the edge of the city.There were more than five thousand Wyvern Peak’s soldiers i

Half an hour later, the pair arrived at a courtyard outside of the city.The place was filled with more than five thousand people standing in an upright and organized manner. They were all dressed in Wyvern Peak battle suits, awaiting Adrian's arrival.Once the engine was shut off, Adrian and Blaze got out of their vehicle. Mya walked over and said, “We’ve gathered everyone from Windton except for Alan Cook.”Adrian nodded and strode over. Everyone looked at him silently.Upon arriving in front of the crowd, Adrian took a deep breath and said, “Comrades, Wyvern Peak has had one unbreakable rule ever since it was founded—defend Navia’s borders. Now, after hundreds of years of wars, this rule still remains unchanged.“Times may have changed, but we haven’t. We’re still standing here, and so long as we remain standing, those from the outlands can forget about wanting to take even one step into our country, can’t they?”“Yes, sir! Wyvern Peak’s original goal remains unchanged, as we

Upon leaving the courtyard, Adrian and Mya returned to Blaze’s hotel, where they were staying while making preparations.Adrian had come up with a plan to eradicate the ten houses during his stroll around Windton.***At that moment, Adrian took down the map on the wall of Blaze’s office and sat on the sofa, continuing with his planning.All of this happened as Blaze and Mya waited in silence. They were both confused why Adrian had suddenly given out such a decree.Eradicating Windton’s ten houses was not as simple as they imagined. Plus, they weren’t just targeting the ten houses, but all of the information they possessed. Thus, this was a tough battle to win.However, they thought that maybe, just maybe, the legate already had a plan in mind.“Excuse me. I just made some food. Please have some.” Phoebe, Blaze’s wife, had walked up the stairs with a tray in her hands.Mya took it and said, “Thank you, Phoebe.”Phoebe smiled, “You’re welcome. You’re all a part of our family. B

Adrian said nothing throughout the entire conversation.Mya, on the other hand, mulled over a lot of things. At the same time, she felt slightly helpless.Adrian looked up and said, “Mya, I need you to contact twenty generals and have them gather here at once. I have a mission for them.”Mya quickly said, “Understood. I’ll get them here right away.”After that, she picked up her phone and made a few phone calls. When the men scattered throughout Windton received her call, they hurried over to Blaze’s hotel despite only just having climbed into bed.Meanwhile, Blaze sat across from Adrian and asked, “Sir, I’m sure Elaine has put out the word about what’s happening, which means the houses will be ready for you. If we act now, I’m afraid we’ll—”“This is our only chance, and I’m not going to miss it. There may be no more Wyvern Peak if we wait this one out.”“Do you have a plan, sir?” Blaze asked.“We’ll discuss further when the others get here.”Within ten minutes, a total of tw

Daemon and the others lowered their heads, falling into silence.To them, this was an unfair disadvantage, but such were their duties as members of Wyvern Peak. They chose to be part of Wyvern Peak, which means they chose to be treated unfairly.However, Blaze felt that Adrian had changed.‘He’s changed so much ever since he’s been in the city.’Mya shared the same thoughts as Blaze did.“I’m not going to force any one of you into doing this. We aren’t going up against the outlanders so you are all free to choose whether you’d like to participate or not. I won’t penalize you all for choosing to back out. I’ll do this myself if nobody will join me.”Adrian’s lifelong wish was to have Chase removed and Navia rise to glory.Internal Affairs had many internal flaws, allowing wealthy families to rise to power. On top of that, these wealthy families were in contact with members of Internal Affairs, pulling the strings of cases where the rich were involved to bully the poor.Aside fro

“Storm, Slayer, you’ll take four hundred men to attack Westfall House.“Divine, Hermit. Four hundred men to Dunn House.“Inviz, Garuda, you two will take King House.“Apollo, Wing. Easter House.“Hawk, Panther. Vega House.”After all ten houses were assigned, Adrian said, “I’ll take a hundred men with me and attack Gardner House in person. Our mission is to locate each house’s secret basement and guard it. After that, Slayer, Hermit, Garuda, Wing, Panther, I want you all to prepare a large truck with a hundred-man squad to enter these basements to transport away everything you can from within.“The intel located inside these rooms will become our biggest asset against Chase. Without them, Wyvern Peak will carry the title of sinners for the rest of time.“When everyone’s ready, Mya will lead a hundred men to open up a path for us to the Northzone. She’ll guard it while all the intel retrieved gets transported out of Windton.”After saying this, Adrian looked up at everyone in fr
