When Samantha woke up, she found Adrian sitting on the sofa. He had acquired pen and paper from Juno’s school bag and was writing something.Samantha was puzzled. “Dear, what are you writing?”Adrian smiled at Samantha and said, “I’m writing a letter to Criminal Affairs to appeal on Laurel’s behalf.”Joanna, who had just exited her room, was extremely surprised to hear this. She noticed that this was not the legate’s usual style of dealing with matters. She chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect the great War Legate Draco to be such a sentimental person. I was under the assumption that people like you only cared about evidence.”Adrian said with a smile, “There are times when a person is helpless and their choices trump everything else.”Joanna gave him a thumbs up.Samantha chuckled and said, “There are times when a person’s choices trump everything else indeed. Oh right, Chubbs will be discharged this afternoon. Why don’t we make a reservation at a hotel restaurant to celebrate hi

Adrian and Chuck soon arrived at the Eastway Hotel.As they walked into the private room, a loud bang rang out. Adrian reacted swiftly and pulled out his gun from his waist. However, he did not see any bullet coming toward him. The only thing he saw was a large cloud of confetti falling from the sky.Samantha and Joanna were holding up their confetti poppers with bright smiles on their faces.“What the heck are you doing?” Joanna was instantly furious when she saw the gun in Adrian’s hand.She haughtily walked over and knocked Adrian on the head with her confetti popper as she berated, “You *ss! You thought we were assassins trying to attack you huh? You’ve even pulled out your gun! How over-cautious are you?”Adrian giggled and put away his gun.Samantha was extremely surprised because she had not expected him to react so quickly. She rolled her eyes. “Adrian, how could you carry something so dangerous on you? What if you misfire and hurt someone?”Adrian shrugged. “I reacted i

The group began drinking.They enjoyed themselves a little too much because they were in a good mood. Even Samantha’s face flushed from drinking so much.Joanna asked her, “Oh, Sam, aren’t you planning to conceive? I heard that one shouldn’t drink when trying to conceive. Why are you drinking then?”Samantha was startled. “I forgot about that!”Joanna was rendered speechless. “Oh well. Your preparation is rendered useless now that you’ve drunk. In that case, just drink to your heart’s content!”They began drinking again.Perhaps Joanna was in a good mood or was affected by her difficult past so she drank so much that she was drunk. Samantha fared a little better. Even though she was tipsy, she was still composed.And it was apparent that Reiss could hold her alcohol well so she was fine. On the other hand, Chuck did not drink much because he was still recovering.Joanna was drunk so she had already begun to indulge in nonsensical talk. Samantha canceled the karaoke session that

Adrian headed to the Battle Warrior Department after leaving home.Daniel was in a meeting when Adrian walked into the room. The former quickly ended the meeting and beckoned everyone to leave. He made his way to Adrian and asked, “Sir, is there anything I can help you with?”Adrian asked, “Has the woman named Reiss returned to Northrive?”He had ordered Daniel to arrange for someone to watch Reiss over the past few days. After all, Adrian did not know Reiss’ innermost thoughts because she was still a part of the De Forrest family.Adrian would kill her without the slightest hesitation if she wished to protect her father. He would not make others sacrifice themselves because of this matter even if they had a personal relationship with him.Daniel said, “She hasn’t returned to Northrive but she spent the night in north Swallowston’s Cloucliff yesterday. She’s still there and hasn’t left.”“Cloucliff?”“Yes, sir.”Cloucliff was a cliff on Swallowston’s Mount Cirro. It was a sceni

“Aaaah!” Reiss instinctively screamed when she sensed herself falling.Cloucliff was fifty meters in height at the very least. Even if one were to survive the fall, one would be seriously injured.Adrian grabbed Reiss’ arms as their bodies were suspended in midair. Then, he exerted strength to fling her upward.Reiss crashed into the ground above while Adrian dropped straight down.“Adrian!” Reiss shouted as she lay on the ground.All of a sudden, a glint was seen emanating from the bottom of the cliff. In the next moment, Adrian had already risen into the air and landed steadily in front of Reiss.In fact, Reiss did not even have the time to understand the situation before Adrian was already back up on the cliff.He casually placed a call. “Cloucliff collapsed. Barricade the area with caution tape to prevent people from coming in.”“Yes, sir.”Reiss glared at him but made no comment. Instead, she asked, “Who are you taking me to meet?”“You’ll know when we get there.”***
