Chapter 883
Five years ago, she died.Five years later, she came back to life.Gloria did not dare dwell on what she had been through over the past five years, nor could she bring herself to think about what her little sister had gone through.But one thing was for certain… The headstone in front of her could now be removed.Adrian reached out his hand and pulled out the headstone that bore Gloria's name. After that, he dug out the grave to retrieve the clothes from within before filling the hole back up.Gloria then got down on her knees before her parents' graves, touching their headstones without saying a word. She had wanted to be a filial daughter to them, but it was a pity they were no longer around to accept her intentions.She felt she had wronged her family, causing them all to be hit with a huge shock when she joined Wyvern Peak.***Yet, right at that moment, a Mercedes-Benz drove into Thompsonville. It was Gracia's car. She had taken some time out of her busy schedule to visit

"Riri!" Gracia yelled as she frantically ran into the cemetery.When Gloria, who stood before two headstones, heard Gracia's voice, she whipped around and saw her little sister running toward her as she yelled out her name."Cici!" Gloria called out and ran toward Gracia without a second thought."Riri!""Riri!""Riri!!!"Gracia yelled out continuously. She tripped and fell over again, but ignoring the pain she felt, she got back on her feet to run again.Gloria, too, was in tears, excitedly running toward her little sister.Finally, the siblings reached each other and enveloped each other in a fierce embrace.Gracia fell limp to the floor, with both hands holding Gloria's arms. She looked up with her drenched face and cried, "Riri, you're alive… You're alive!"Gloria was in tears as well, she got down on her knees before Gracia and held her little sister’s face with both hands. "Yes, I'm alive. I'm sorry for everything I've put you through, Cici!""Aaaah!" Gracia yelled at

Gloria nodded and turned to look at Adrian affectionately. After that, she took hold of Gracia's hand and explained, "I too honestly thought I had died five years ago, but something unexpected happened..."She explained everything to Gracia, starting from what happened five years ago, to Adrian going to the island to find her five years later, and the discovery of the meteorite. All in all, it took Gloria half an hour to finish telling the story.When Gracia heard all of it, she became dazed and had a hard time gathering her thoughts."That's what happened. I genuinely thought I had died five years ago, but it turns out that I've been asleep throughout that entire time. It felt like my soul was stuck in a space, trapping me inside. I wasn't able to wake up until Adrian came for me."Gracia looked up at Adrian and said, "I'm sorry for lashing out at you earlier.""It's all right," Adrian replied.Gracia hugged Gloria as she wiped away her tears, turning them into a smile. She said

Gracia chuckled and pulled Gloria toward the village.Gloria turned her head to Adrian. "Wait for me in Drogoton. I'll contact you when Cici and I get there," she said.Adrian made an "okay" gesture and watched the sisters return to the village. Shortly after, he left Thompsonville and headed back to Drogoton.***The news of Gloria's return caused a sensation in the surrounding area. Many living nearby Thompsonville came to see her. The village had organized a feast and set up over a hundred tables in the square to celebrate her return.Gloria was extremely happy that day and was inseparable from her little sister. Gracia stayed by Gloria's side, even insisting on going to the washroom together. She wanted to cherish every moment she had with the person she thought she had lost.Gracia could finally see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. She had been reunited with her sister, whom she thought she would never see again for the rest of her life. Thus, her lonely life ended,

Gloria followed Gracia back to her place, revealed to be a luxurious and extravagant villa. Gracia had been living here for some time.Gloria was delighted when she arrived at the villa that she explored everything inside, feeling how fresh and new the whole place was. Indeed, as Gracia said, this was the happiest point of Gloria’s life over the past five years.The sisters bathed together, cooked together, sat on the couch in their pajamas chatting, ate snacks, and watched TV together. They only had each other in their minds the whole time. The entire villa was now filled with the joyous laughter of two sisters who had been separated for five long years.***The sisters ended up falling asleep in each other's embrace that night. Meanwhile, Adrian stood on the upper floor of a hotel near the villa, quietly gazing at Gracia's villa, lost in his thoughts.The television in the room was broadcasting a series of news. Recently, news of the Wyvern Peak soldiers assembling had spread th

The night grew darker and darker.The next morning, the weather was especially hot. Summer had unknowingly arrived. Women up and down the street were donning short skirts, showing off their slender legs.Adrian woke up early that morning and pulled open his curtains. He then received a text message from Gloria.[Cici and I will be visiting Glovern today. After that, we're going shopping for some clothes in the afternoon. Cici even said she'd buy me some jewelry. Do you want to come along?]Upon seeing Gloria's message, Adrian quickly replied…[Have fun, but remember we're in a time crunch. We’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.][Okay.]After ending the conversation with Gloria, Adrian left the hotel to head somewhere. He was quite familiar with his way around in Drogoton, and that was because a certain someone lived in the city.This person was Ben Davis, codenamed Draven.Ben was a resident of Drogoton who joined Wyvern Peak five years before Adrian did, thus making him co

Adrian instantly recognized the old man.It was Aiden Davis, Ben's father.Aiden used to be a martial arts instructor, and it was Aiden's influence that led Ben to join Wyvern Peak. Aiden longed to be on the battlefield since he was young. Yet, the former martial arts instructor had grown so old that he found it difficult to even chop firewood."Let me help you with that.” Adrian walked over and took the ax from Aiden's hand, who was slightly taken aback.With one swing of the ax, Adrian managed to split the firewood apart.Aiden took a few steps back and quickly recognized Adrian. "A-Adrian?”"You remember me?" Adrian laughed.Adrian had been to their house with Ben once. Although it was only for a day, Aiden had a sharp eye for faces and had a deep impression of Adrian. Plus, Adrian's fame as War Legate Draco had spread far and wide, which made it much easier for Aiden to recognize him."What are you doing here, sir?" Aiden chuckled. He then took out a cigarette from his pock

"Actually, I heard it from Ben. He's still in contact with a few of his old buddies, and they mentioned it in passing. You’re here to send Gloria home, aren’t you? I suppose that includes this visit?" Aiden asked in response.Adrian nodded. "Yes. I originally didn’t want to come here because I didn't want to see Ben. I always feel a lot of guilt whenever I see him. He must feel really bad not being able to fulfill his dreams.""He has been doing much better over the years. He has gradually come to accept the life he's in and often speaks very highly of you. Still, I wasn't expecting you to become the legate," Aiden said."It’s all thanks to the alcohol he brought me back in the day." Adrian chuckled.Upon hearing this, Aiden laughed and clapped his hands. "Goodness me. I would’ve forgotten about that if you hadn't mentioned it. Let's have a drink while you're here. It's been a really long time since I've gotten a few drinks in my system. My wife always stopped me, you see.""Sure,
