Soon afterward, the staff members branched into two teams and immediately began their operation in Jacky’s headquarters. The medical team was in charge of examining Gloria’s body while the scientific research team led by Shane began studying the rock in the laboratory.The scholars gathered information and searched for any sources related to the meteorite.***Adrian entered Jacky’s command post and sat down. He inquired with Jacky about the situation in Novemton.Jacky said, “Apart from protecting the coastline, Her Majesty has given me the order to spare no effort in helping you. On the other hand, she should be arriving with the first elder, third elder, and sixth elder soon.“Her Majesty cares about this matter very much, possibly because this matter will affect our country’s future. We can’t allow the outlands to enter Isle 416. We must gain control of the island.”Adrian listened to Jacky’s report but made no comment.Meanwhile, Celene walked into the room. “Legate, Comman

Crystal said, “What countermeasures do you think we should take right now?”Adrian said, “It’s too early to talk about countermeasures. However, we do have to take control of 416 for the time being. We can use it to our advantage once the meteorite’s mystery has been unveiled and if it is beneficial for us. If it’s both beneficial and harmful to us, we shall sink the island and won’t ever leak this matter to the outside world.”Crystal kept silent.Meanwhile, Celene walked over once again and said, “Your Majesty, Legate, there’s a result from the treatment room. Professor Winslow is asking for all of you.”“All right.”“Let’s go take a look.”Adrian was the first to stand up, and he was joined by Crystal and the others as they headed to the treatment room. More than ten professors and thirty students were having a discussion in the treatment room.Adrian and Crystal walked in.The leader of the medical team was Winslow Moore.Noticing Adrian and Crystal, the crowd said in succ

Upon hearing Adrian’s instructions, Winslow kept quiet for a moment. He then stood up and said, “Sir, this is my duty. I will put in my best efforts to figure out a solution and treat the condition.”“I don’t have much medical knowledge so we’re counting on you.”“Leave it to me, sir,” answered Winslow in determination.Adrian did not comment further. He got up and walked to the room in the treatment room.Noticing that Adrian was leaving, Crystal hastily said, “Adrian, we’ll need you to take the lead on the matters related to Isle 416. I’ve discussed with the elders and have decided to reinstate you as the legate and hand over the authority once again—”Adrian interrupted Crystal, “The head position is yours now. I can set my mind at ease knowing that you’re here.”Crystal had not expected Adrian to decline so quickly. She hastily said, “But you’re the only person capable of leading Wyvern Peak under the current circumstances. I don’t know anything…”Adrian said, “You may consu

The nurses teased Gloria, and she humored them by joining their laughter. Then, the nurses stopped bothering them and left the room.Adrian sat down. Gloria looked at Adrian and said, “I’d like to go out for a walk and tour the city. I want to visit my parents’ graves and see my sister.”Adrian nodded. “Sure. I’ll take you to do it all one by one.”Gloria said, “Most importantly, I’d like to meet Samantha.”“Sure,” Adrian immediately agreed, “I’ll take you to meet her when you’re fully recovered.”Gloria answered with an “mm-hm.”Crystal, the third elder, and the sixth elder walked in. Gloria's gaze fell on Crystal when she saw them. She said in astonishment, “Crystal, is that you?”“It’s been such a long time since we last met, Gloria,” said Crystal smilingly.“It…It has been a long time indeed. It’s been about seven years since we were in military school together, right?” said Gloria.“Yes, about there.”Crystal and Gloria were acquaintances and they used to spend time with

Crystal and the elders left to head back to Novemtom.Adrian and Gloria were left to themselves in the treatment room. They exchanged one glance in unison.Gloria looked at Adrian with a frustrated gaze. Her gaze was filled with an array of emotions. There was the joy of being reunited and the carefreeness of two close friends.Adrian had not felt that for five years.“You sure you won’t regret this?” Gloria asked him.“Regret what?” asked Adrian.Gloria stretched out her hand to straighten Adrian’s collar as she rolled her eyes. “You spent a lot of effort to secure the position of legate. It’s something that many people will spare no effort in becoming, yet you choose to retire after four years. You’re the first legate in the Wyvern Peak’s history to step down after just four years, other than those who died in wars.”Adrian smiled at Gloria and said, “Four years is quite a long time. Also, my body is becoming weaker. There will be a candidate from Wyvern Peak who’s better suit

“Haha…” Gloria chuckled. “Denzel was Adrian’s best friend, and they used to fight a lot. When I was still around, they used to butt heads a lot.”The nurse smiled and said, “Yes, it’s a waste that Battle Warrior Denzel sacrificed himself to save his sister. If he were still alive, there’s no telling who would’ve been chosen as the legate. I heard that Battle Warrior Denzel was even more powerful than War Legate Draco.”Gloria thought about it and said, “They’re about the same, almost equal. However, Denzel was slightly more mature than Adrian. After all, he was two years older than Adrian. Oh right, how’s Denzel’s sister?”The nurse said, “When Excenom invaded the moat last month, Hedgeton was occupied by the enemy. The legate sent troops to protect Hedgeville, and Denzel’s sister was seemingly transported to Yelloton. I don’t know the specific details though.”“He remembered her,” said Gloria.“There was a time not long ago when the whole country was criticizing Wyvern Peak. Howe

Those three short words embodied deep misery and frustration.Gloria’s eyes glistened with tears. On that eventful day five years ago, she was lying in Adrian’s arms and knew she was about to die. She was very conscious before she died. Thinking back to that time, she felt like she had been in a dream. She dreamt that she was trapped in a sealed space and only awakened upon hearing the fighting noises in the outside world, only to discover that five years had already passed.Gloria lowered her head and wiped away her eyes. She badly wanted to cry. Everything felt like a nightmare.She covered her charming face with one hand because she did not want Adrian to see her tears. Adrian used to regard her as a strong woman back when they trained together in Wyvern Peak. She was fearless and would never shed a tear.But she wanted to cry so badly right now.A strong hand gently held her tiny hand. Adrian stood by Gloria and kept her company as they looked out at the boundless sea.Adrian

In the lab, Shane’s student brought over a hazmat suit as soon as Adrian walked in. He said to Adrian, “Sir, please put on the hazmat suit before you enter.”Adrian quickly put it on and walked into the lab.Shane and a group of professors were observing the data analysis of the rock. Upon noticing Adrian, the group of people called out.“Legate!”“You’re here, sir.”Adrian nodded. “What have you found?”Shane said, “We performed an analysis on the rock you brought back from the island. It isn’t made up of Earth’s organic materials and is possibly from outer space. In other words, it’s a meteorite.”“I expected as much,” Adrian said, “What is it made of?”Shane inhaled a deep breath and replied, “We can’t find any related information on the substances found on it. It’s made up of materials that we don’t know of and there’s plenty of room to study it closely.”Adrian glanced at Shane. “Does it emit some sort of radiation?”Shane shook his head. “No.”“No?”“Yes, it isn’t rad
