Ivy giggled. "They curse you and your entire family every single night! Okay, I'm kidding. I've never seen them so happy. Every day is like a fresh start for us. Now that we've got this job, we feel incredibly happy whenever we catch a criminal" she said."Congratulations on finally reclaiming your lives," Adrian said sincerely.Ivy smiled. "Congratulations to you too. We've met your daughter, and she's a really cute one. You may become history in the future, but me and my sisters will always work hard for Swallowston's sake. We'll make sure there are no more criminals in this city. This job is now our dream, and we've never been happier. In fact, a few of us have even gotten into romantic relationships," she said as she chuckled.Adrian, on the other hand, was slightly stunned. 'They're in relationships?'He clicked his tongue and said, "You ladies sure move fast. I'm surprised you've managed to find boyfriends that quickly. Tell me, who are the ones in love right now?"Ivy ponde

It was at that moment Ivy finally understood why Adrian wanted to leave Wyvern Peak.'I see… His body's no longer as strong as it used to be.'She looked at the man in front of her in astonishment and suddenly realized just how great of a man he was. Adrian has spent up his entire prime for Wyvern Peak's sake, for Navia's sake. When his body was beginning to deteriorate, he chose to give up all of his glory and future in Wyvern Peak, Navia even, and retired without a second thought.There were very few men who were able to do such a thing willingly.'Adrian's definitely capable of continuing to be the legate. In fact, he could've taken over Crystal's place and ruled over the entire world. Yet, he didn't do it.'For some reason, Ivy suddenly felt like crying. She bowed to Adrian to show him how much she respected him."All right, seeing you all living your lives so happily means I've fulfilled my promise to you all. I'll be leaving now." Having no intention to stay much longer, Ad

"It's an inevitable fight," Adrian replied as he nodded.Gloria continued, "We’d be at a disadvantage if they team up during the fight. If we look at the entire situation, they’ll probably try to stop our men out at sea, effectively making it a naval battle."Adrian pondered for a moment.Meanwhile, Samantha curiously asked, "I thought the purpose of this expedition was to defend Isle 416 so that our scientists, doctors, and research groups can conduct their field investigation. What will happen if they’re surrounded by enemies?"Adrian twitched his lips. "If I were in their shoes, I’d start a fight after Wyvern Peak has entered the island. Over the years, countless people have sent men to Isle 416, but they'd all be killed by the worms. So, they're going to study whether our men can survive on the island or not. In other words, they won't attack until they're sure about what's happening.""If they attack us on the island, the environment could be used to our advantage. However, y

Gloria and Samantha got up and headed toward the kitchen to help Rue set up the table. After that, the entire family sat down for dinner.***Late that night, Gloria and Samantha headed back to their room to take care of Nova. Adrian went up to the rooftop garden alone. There, he made a phone call to Novemton's headquarters to request for Leonard, Wilfred, Jacob, Cedric, and all of his other imprisoned relatives to be released.Ever since both families were thrown into prison, Harold retreated back to his hometown, and his health was deteriorating by the day. Although Adrian had an entire series of grudges against them, they were not enough for him to kill them. After all, they were all a part of the Xander family.Initially, he thought about releasing Clara, Samantha's cousin, too. However, she was the one who murdered Simon, and Danton would surely object to her release. Thus, he did not even consider releasing the murderer.The phone call soon reached Novemton's headquarters, w

Samantha said, “Also, even if you’re not doing this for them, think about your grandfather. His health is deteriorating by the day and he’s aging. You can’t take care of him so someone else has to care for him. I’m just going to say this bluntly. If he were to pass away someday, he wouldn't have even one of his children by his side.”Adrian cracked a heartfelt smile and stretched out his hand to caress Samantha’s face upon hearing her educated and reasonable remark.Samantha rolled her eyes at Adrian in a gentle manner. “You can finally move on from the burden in your mind now, right? Gloria and I have already discussed and agreed that we won’t make things difficult for you. Where else are you ever going to find a good wife like me?”“Thank you, Sam,” Adrian said, “Gloria doesn’t have any other choice, and I don’t want to abandon her.”Samantha answered with an “mm-hm” and replied, “Yes, my war legate. I understand what you mean. All right, let’s not talk about this anymore. Do you

A call was made from Novemton’s administration department to Skyton Prison’s guard station.Skyton Prison was built on the northern outskirts of Skyton in a forest. It was extremely huge and there were all sorts of factories there, including a steel mill, clothing factory, machinery factory, and others. Even Gracia’s Glovern Group of Drogoton owned Factory 47 which was built inside Skyton Prison.It was compulsory for the prisoners of Skyton Prison to work eight hours, undergo one hour of ideological education, and get one hour of exercise every day.Some said that Skyton Prison was the largest prison in Navia. The prison was divided into two parts, one part for female prisoners and the other part for male prisoners. The male and female prisoners were separated. Skyton’s battle warrior department played the main role in managing Skyton Prison in a hierarchical manner, and the warden’s name was Dawson Rock.Meanwhile, Dawson was working overtime in his office when he received the ca

The steel mill of Skyton Prison was brightly lit and the sounds of steel smelting were heard coming from the inside. Prisoners would be assigned to work in the steel mill if their physiques were up to standards. Even though the closing time had already been set, there were prisoners who would work overtime endlessly so they could get a sentence reduction.Meanwhile, two middle-aged men and two young men were lifting a gigantic steel plate strenuously in the steel mill. The four of them joined hands to lift the steel plate with great effort. They were exhausted, drenched in sweat, and breathing heavily.“Be careful!”“Okay, okay!”“Put it down here!”Clang!The four of them loosened their grip in unison and the steel plate was placed at a suitable spot. The two young men immediately sat on the ground. They were drenched in so much sweat that their clothes looked like they just came out of a wash.One of the young men wiped his tears and said sobbing, “Father, Uncle Wilfred… I mis

Garfield was the boss of the prison and everyone was scared of him. Wilfred, Leonard, Cedric, and Jacob did not have the courage to procrastinate and continued with their work.But just as they were fear-stricken, Garfield approached them and barked, “Wilfred, Leonard, Cedric, Jacob!”“Yes, sir!”They answered in unison and hastily walked toward Garfield, who suddenly smiled. The smile felt like the dawn of the apocalypse to Leonard and the others.Leonard hastily said, “Garfield, I’m sorry. My son was a bit tired earlier so we took a short break. Please forgive us.”They hastily explained in fear that Garfield had noticed them sitting and talking earlier.Upon hearing that, Garfield stretched out his hand and patted Leonard’s shoulder. He said, “Leonard, oh, Leonard. It’s your fault that you have a hard life, but it’s also your fault for having a good life. Congratulations to all of you. You’re being released. Don’t forget to be good after you leave this place and put in a good
