After Duncan and his gang left, Adrian turned around to look at William, Swallowston University’s principal.Adrian had met William once at Wyvern Peak years ago. That was when Vell, his eldest son, died in battle. William was there to see Vell one last time.‘It hasn’t been that long but William looks so much older now.’“Long time no see, Mr. William,” Adrian said.William took a good look at Adrian and was finally able to recognize him. William seemed elated and said, “It’s you, sir.”Adrian nodded and glanced at the young man next to William. His name was Reed Falkner, Sandy and William’s second son, and Vell’s little brother. Reed looked about eighteen years old and had a lot of bruises from being beaten up.Noticing Adrian observing Reed, William immediately yelled, “Go to your room. Now! I’ll deal with you later.”Thus, Reed reluctantly went to his room, an ugly expression on his face.When Adrian saw this, he said, “Your son looks like a rebellious one. What happened he

Adrian entered Reed’s room, who was sitting on his bed, looking like his mind was far away.Reed noticed Adrian when the latter pushed the door open. With zero expression on his face, he said, “Thanks for saving me just now.”Adrian smiled and sat opposite Reed. “I heard from your father that your mother and older brother’s deaths had a huge impact on you. But, have you ever stopped to think that you’re William’s only living son now?”Since Reed remained silent, Adrian continued, “Vengeance isn’t as simple as you think it is. There are a lot of factors that can change how it turns out.”Still, Reed refused to say anything, causing Adrian to ask, “What did you do to offend Lopo?”Finally, Reed replied, “He said I laid my hands on his woman when my friends and I were having fun at the bar so he had someone try and pin me down. They found me here after I beat all of his men the first time.”Hearing this, Adrian asked, “Then, have you ever thought about how you’re going to handle Lop

“What?!”Lucius was slightly taken aback as police sirens wailed from all directions.Immediately after that, more than a thousand vehicles from the Battle Warrior Department swarmed toward the courtyard, leaving Lucius and his men stunned. In fact, some of them were already backing away, trying to find a chance to flee.After the cars stopped, hordes of men got out and surrounded Lucius and his men, followed by Mya rushing over with a dozen subordinates. Under everyone’s gaze, she stood before Adrian and said, “Legate, based on our investigations, Lucius’ brother-in-law is currently working at Internal Affairs’ southern branch.”“L-Legate?” Lucius’s expression instantly turned pale when he heard thisMeanwhile, the men he brought with him were dumbfounded and lost their morale in an instant.“Legate?”“If she’s calling him ‘legate,’ does that mean he’s…War Legate Draco?!”Lucius immediately cried out and took a few steps back, dumbfounded at the revelation. Opposite him, Adria

Lex was shocked at the sudden intrusion.Lucia jumped, smearing her makeup in the process.Lex got up from the sofa in confusion when he saw Adrian and Mya walk in.Lucia, who was working on her makeup up until a moment ago, ran over to them and yelled, “Who the f*ck are you two?! How dare you barge into my home and kick down my door! Are you two itching to be thrown in prison?! My husband will gladly oblige you two if that’s the case!”Lucia’s fury stemmed from how shaken she was. She did not have the best of tempers, to begin with, so the sudden intrusion was more than enough to light her anger.Adrian glanced at Lucia and proceeded to look at Lex before he asked, “Are you Lex Dumas?”Lex sounded startled as he asked, “Who are you? What are you doing here? Do you know that you’re intruding on private property and that I’m from Internal Affairs? I’ve got reason to believe that you’re here to cause me harm.”Adrian furrowed his eyebrows, while Lucia relentlessly continued with h

Lucia was now as silent as the grave. After all, being Lex’s wife, she naturally knew who War Legate Draco was.She had never thought that the legate would show up on her doorstep.Lex was trembling as he finally realized what was happening, and why he had been having a sense of foreboding. Stuttering, he said, “L-Legate, I have nothing to do with Lucius’ activities. Also, I’m a member of Internal Affairs, so you have no jurisdiction over my actions.”“And what if I insist on interfering?” Adrian asked.“Um…”Lex knew better than anyone else he would not be able to stop Adrian if the latter insisted on apprehending him.Lucia was now no longer able to utter a single word, knowing that she was in huge trouble. Never in her life had she felt fear, or become anyone’s target. Yet, on this very day, her entire life was being turned around as despair, regret, and all sorts of other negative emotions clouded her mind.Both husband and wife were trembling so much that they were finding
