Harold, Leonard, and Wilfred were instantly infuriated when they saw Adrian entering the mansion.They bottled to their feet in unison.Leonard pointed at Adrian and shouted, “Who gave you permission to enter, Adrian?! Get out of here right now!”Adrian glanced at Leonard and made his way toward Harold.He did not sit down but he said, “Grandfather, the Xanders have been rather close with Southrive’s River family recently. I’m here today to tell you…”“What do you have to tell me?” asked Harold nonchalantly with a cold expression.“I would like to tell you that the Battle Warrior Department has linked the Luposia incident yesterday to the Rivers. I recommend you keep a distance from the Rivers in the upcoming days. If they are found to have committed treachery, your family will be affected too.“I know a thing or two about this situation so don’t say I didn’t warn you if things go south.”Upon saying that, Adrian turned around and left, leaving the Xanders with no chance to sco

Samantha had not expected Adrian to have such vast knowledge related to the Battle Warrior Department.It made her realize his strong points.They chatted for a while more until Samantha stood up and said, “All right. Enough with the chit-chat. Go get ready. We’re going out to eat tonight.“Riley, Elara, and the others have decided to hold a celebratory dinner tonight for New Paraiso’s move into Swallow Central. We can go after I’ve taken a shower.”Samantha was in a good mood today. She was happy that New Paraiso had gotten a spot in Swallow Central.Adrian nodded.Samantha said to Rue. “Come with us, Mother!”Rue gladly accepted the invite.***Samantha headed out with Adrian and Rue at eight in the evening after getting ready.She had instructed Elara and Riley to book a reservation at the hotel’s restaurant.The attendees of tonight’s dinner were the members of Mandy’s management team so it was rather important for Samantha.She realized that they had some time to spare

The onlookers turned to look at Adrian right after he said that.When Samantha saw Adrian walking toward her, all of the grief she felt turned into tears that flowed down her cheeks non-stop.Adrian pulled her into his embrace and looked at Shuri. “Do you know what happens to those who look down on others, pretty lady?“Answer me this… How do you know we can’t afford the bag?”Shuri folded her arms and sized Adrian up before smirking coldly. “You’re her husband, aren’t you? You should keep your woman in check and make her stop touching things she can’t afford. I doubt she’d be able to cover the cost of dirtying my bags even if she became a prostitute.”Shuri had an expression of pure disgust, while Adrian began to laugh.“You keep going on and on about how we aren’t able to afford the bag. Why don’t you just tell me how much it costs?”Shuri could not stop herself from letting out a cold sneer. “You sound like you’re actually going to buy it. If I tell you the price, you might g

After exiting the mall and stepping into the brightly-lit street, Samantha felt as though she was in a dream.She had a bag worth eighty-two thousand dollars in her hand that helped her regain her dignity after being insulted. She was having trouble getting accustomed to the situation.Next to her, Rue also felt a slight sting in her heart. ‘Eighty-two thousand dollars… That’s a whole lot of money!’“Where did you get so much money, Adrian? What happened back there?” Samantha asked, no longer able to contain the curiosity she felt inside.Of course, Samantha was overjoyed that Adrian had helped her regain her dignity. But the money spent as a result was just…However, Adrian simply looked at her and smiled. “I'll be honest. It took me years to accumulate all that money.”“What?”Samantha was shocked, while Rue looked at her son in confusion.“How did you manage to save that much money?” Rue asked.Adrian explained by saying, “As you both know, soldiers get paid quite well. I’v

Barry suspected that the Rivers had been in contact with the Luposians for a very long time.This was why he had been tracking Jaden, wanting to investigate whether his theory was correct.‘I’m sure the legate will take me in as his apprentice if I find out the truth behind the Luposians’ infiltration!’After Jaden disappeared into the elevator, Barry took note of the floor Jaden got off and headed up the stairs.***Meanwhile, Jaden arrived at the topmost floor and entered the main hall after donning a set of heavy armor.“Jaden, you’re here.”A middle-aged man stood inside. He had a powerful, masculine temperament with the intimidating presence of a veteran fighter.Jaden shuddered when he saw him and said, “I’m really sorry the plan failed, War Legate Hydra. Something went wrong in Swallowston and War Legate Draco was here. Nobody saw this coming!”The man called War Legate Hydra squinted his eyes.Luposia’s military ranks reflected that of Navia—made up of ten battle warr
