Hearing these words, Reiss felt much better.She had not expected her old schoolmate to be rather good at comforting women.Reiss said, “I’ll remember what you told me. Don’t worry, I won’t let myself be affected.”Adrian smiled. “Great. Well then, let’s eat!”Reiss was starving. She picked up her cutlery and began eating. Adrian sat opposite and watched her scoff down her food. The meal passed in silence.Reiss would occasionally wipe away tears as she ate. Adrian poured her a glass of water and asked, “Do you have any plans for the future?”Reiss inhaled a deep breath and flipped her silky hair.“I have no idea, I might return to Northrive but I don’t feel like going back. My parents have already been brainwashed. If I go back now, I’ll probably be heading toward the end of my life,” said Reiss with a bitter smile.“What do you mean?” Adrian asked.“My father has never been a kind person. Ever since Seth’s death, my parents have been hell-bent on avenging him. My father is p

“Great. Let’s go!”Adrian and Reiss walked out of the restaurant. He made a call and instructed Daniel to send him a car.Five minutes later, an MPV stopped next to Adrian. He got into the car and beckoned Reiss to get in.When she had settled in, Adrian sped out of Swallowton’s city center.***Dragonshire Prison 14 was five hundred kilometers away from Swallowston through mountainous roads.The location of the prison was very secluded. A person would not be able to find its specific location without a thorough knowledge of the mountain.Other than that, there was no signal coverage on the mountain. There was only Intranet available in the area nearby the prison. Moreover, the intranet was under constant monitoring by the governor’s office.Adrian was burning with anxiety on the way there. He knew that Chuck would have to endure more torment every minute he took to get there.He had no idea what sort of crime Chuck had committed over the years. However, he believed that his f

Paul’s idea was very simple. Even if the legate wished to enter the prison, he would need approval from the governor’s office as he did not have a lot of authority when it came to internal affairs.Adrian answered, “I’ll get the Battle Warrior Department to send you a set of the needed documents.”Paul was relieved. “All right… Great then. Please come in!”Paul made an invitatory gesture.Adrian immediately walked into the building beyond the enclosing wall. It was the living space for the staff members guarding Prison 14.Paul took him to the control room. The surveillance here covered every inch of the prison, even the toilets. It was because the prisoners here did not have the right to privacy.“Hand over the information of all the prisoners here,” Adrian told Paul after he took a seat in the control room.Paul was stunned. He hastily said, “Sir, you don’t have the authority to read the prisoners’ information.”Adrian looked at Paul. “What if I insist on reading it?”Paul s

Wallace said, “Connect me to Daniel.”“Yes, sir.”Soon, the operator dialed Daniel’s office phone and said, “General Daniel, Governor Wallace would like to speak with you.”Daniel was sitting in the office when he learned about the call. He said, “Put the call through.”“Yes, sir.”The call was instantly patched through.Daniel said with a smile as he continued to read a document, “Governor Wallace, what made you think of me? Why are you calling me in such a rush?”Wallace sneered and said in a querying tone, “Daniel, I’d like to know what the heck the Battle Warrior Department is doing. I’m warning you. Don’t stir up trouble. Otherwise, you’d be better off returning to Wyvern Peak!”The act of setting up battle warrior branches in main cities was Imperial Capital’s governor’s headquarters nod of recognition toward the Battle Warrior Department. It could be said that the Battle Warrior Department set up stations in the governor’s territories.If one were to examine the level o

While Adrian was giving out the order, a chain reaction happened deep within the mountains in a faraway place. This was the closest populated area to Prison 14.“We’ve been ordered by the legate to destroy Prison 14!”“We’ve been ordered by the legate to destroy Prison 14!”What followed were the sounds of whirring…***At the same time, the sounds of guns firing rang out within Prison 14, followed by the bodies of the imprisoned criminals falling onto the ground, riddled with holes by the flurry of bullets.The same went for Scorpio. He was among the bodies lying in pools of their own blood despite maintaining communication with Wallace from inside his prison cell.Yet, Adrian’s fury still was not quelled. He wanted everyone remotely involved with the matter killed!At that moment, as Reiss looked at how furious Adrian was and the endless sound of bullets entered her ear, she finally understood just what kind of person Adrian truly was. She felt that the Adrian she was looking
