The Return of the War Legate/Celestial Clouds

These people put their phones away and stood up when they saw Christina arriving.After Christina stopped her car, she turned around and said, “I’ll pay them the money and leave, so I want you all to stay in here.”The youngsters immediately surrounded her when she got out. The leader among them was a young man with a crew cut, an earring on one ear, and a dragon tattoo on his neck.He said, “I’ve been waiting for you for more than half an hour, Ms. Christina. Have you no respect for me?”Christina smiled wryly and replied, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Nash. I was caught in traffic.”“Bullsh*t!” Nash scowled.His full name was Nash Lockley, and his uncle was a member of Internal Affairs’ Southeast Branch. This lent Nash a notorious reputation within the area.He had recruited a group of people and would loiter around the area to extort money from a few companies. This had been going on for a few years, and none of the nearby shops dared to disobey him.This time, Nash got bolder and

The men fled as far as they could since their lives depended on it.Almost instantly, the alley became completely empty, aside from Nash’s body. Christina looked at Adrian in a daze, her mouth hung ajar. She trembled as she looked at him.“Y-You killed him,” she said in shock.Adrian was wiping the blood off his hands, completely unaffected by the kill he just made because of how used he was to such things. Then, he smiled at Christina and said, “This is nothing to feel alarmed about, Ms. Christina. He deserved to die anyway, so it was only a matter of time before someone got to him.”Adrian picked up the case filled with money and handed it over to Christina before getting back into the car.Shirley, who seemed even more infatuated with Adrian now, said, “That was awesome, sir!” Adrian merely smiled at her, while Mya had already made a call to ask someone to take care of the corpse. Shortly after, Christina got back into the car, still shaken from everything that just happened.

Christina replied, “What other reason could there be? He said he wanted to study abroad after we got married, and I let him. In the end, he chose not to return after going there.“I became pregnant with Shirley shortly after he left, and he didn’t come back to visit us until she was born.”“Shirley told us he had another lover. Is this true?” Mya asked.“Yes. I went to look for him in the past and found out he was in a relationship with a foreign student. I saw it with my own eyes… But I think she died.“After she passed, Kayn came back to the country and stayed at Southeast University.”Adrian exchanged looks with Mya as though they had just found a clue.Adrian then said, “Where did he study? How did that woman die?”Without even thinking about her answer, Christina replied, “He was at Sormbay. I heard there was a riot happening over there, and it was Wyvern Peak who helped to resolve it. That woman died amid the chaos.”“The Sormbay 148 incident.” Mya looked at Adrian.The

It was only then did Christina and Shirley understand the severity of the situation.In truth, this was definitely not good news for Wyvern Peak.Christina fell silent, while Shirley seemed helpless. As anxious as she was, there was nothing she could do to help.Once again, Adrian looked at Christina and asked a few more questions, all of which he received no answers to. In the end, he was not able to find anything to aid his cause.Not wanting to waste any more time, Adrian stood up and said, “I’ve told you most of the situation, Ms. Christina. Please feel free to call me if you think of something. I’ll leave you in peace now.”Christina quickly got up and seemed embarrassed as she said, “I’m truly sorry I couldn’t be of much help to you, Adrian. I genuinely have no idea what Kayn’s been doing after our divorce.”She clearly felt bad for not being of much help, but Adrian merely smiled in response.He and Mya left the hotel after that.***It was already evening by the time A

Kyle replied, “One time, when Kayn and I were drinking, he mentioned the book’s name after getting drunk. The book contains the names of hundreds of Wyvern Peak’s future legates. I suppose you could say they are predictions made by Wyvern Peak’s ancestors.”“Hundreds?”Adrian was slightly surprised, while Mya was extremely shocked.A prediction made by the ancestors? But how accurate were these predictions? But based on everything Kayn had done so far, it was clear that he was right since…Adrian became the legate.Mya turned toward Adrian and said, “If this is true, then the next legate is in danger. If someone else gets their hands on this book, they’re not going to be using it to produce a movie.”Mya was right. The outlanders wouldn’t be using the book to film a movie if they got their hands on it.Adrian remained deep in thought for a while before he looked at Kyle and asked, “Do you know when this book began circulating?”Kyle pondered for a bit before saying, “I’m not sure

Adrian and Samantha talked for a while longer before they slept.The next morning, Adrian received a call from Mya as soon as dawn broke. According to a dependable source, Southrive’s Fowler House had indeed auctioned off a book about ten years ago.After ending the call, he quickly got ready and made his way to the downhill part of Jewel Road. After waiting at the bottom of the hill for a bit, Mya arrived in a car.Adrian got into the car without any hesitation. Mya stepped on the pedal and they headed off to Southrive.***Along the way, Mya updated Adrian on the information she discovered from last night’s investigation.Mya said, “I reached out to Donald of Southrive’s Kushner Group last night. He’s the richest man in Southrive and has visited Fowler House on multiple occasions. Donald vividly remembers that a book was auctioned off at Fowler House ten years ago. He can’t remember who purchased the book but he knew that the person did not look like he was from Navia.”“It wa

Soon, Donald drove into the compounds of an enormous mountain resort on Southrive’s outskirts.The majestic mountain resort was dotted with numerous mansions and villas. There were more than a hundred cleaning staff and gardeners working here.Donald stopped the car when they arrived at the checkpoint of the resort’s entrance. He said, “Please wait here. An access pass distributed at the bottom of the mountain is needed to enter Fowler House. Each person must hold a pass. Otherwise, the person won’t be allowed to enter.“I shall go over and talk to the guard.”Adrian nodded and Donald went to negotiate with the guard at the door. Five minutes later, he came back, shaking his head as he said, “Mr. Xander, the resort’s security is too strict. I’m allowed to enter but you’re not.”Upon hearing Donald’s remark, Adrian said, “This place exists because of the war that I fought. I refuse to believe that there’s even a single place in Navia that I can’t enter.”Upon saying that, Adrian g

The sound of the gunshot was heard all across Fowler House.The administrative personnel of Fowler House was instantly alerted.“Where did that gunshot come from?”“Send someone to check it out at once.”Fowler House was thrown into chaos by the gunshot.Soon after, the security personnel of Fowler House charged onto the scene from all over the resort. These people carried guns and ballistic shields as they approached the entrance.“Um…”“This is umm…”Donald backed away two steps in shock upon seeing the numerous people gathering around them. He had heard about Fowler House’s strict security. The guards here were all seasoned professionals who were employed from battlefields in the outlands.In comparison, the people surrounding them were hired from a few countries in the outlands. One could say that the security personnel of Fowler House was considered the highest quality guards in Southrive.“Mr. Xander, they have the strength in numbers. We should leave!” Donald hastily s

“You’re that confident of yourself huh?” Adrian inquired closely.“That is of course,” answered Romain.However, just as Romain’s voice faded, the sound of roaring car engines was heard. Then, a few tens of Wyvern Peak’s cross-country vehicles of the same color swiftly drove in from the distance.These cars stopped and the doors flung open. Wyvern Peak’s soldiers carrying loaded weapons got out of the vehicles. There were more than five hundred of them, and they surrounded Romain and the others with their guns at ready.The change in situation happened so unexpectedly.Romain’s expression froze. He never expected the situation would change so suddenly.“Um… Ah…”Romain turned his head and saw hundreds of people wearing Wyvern Peak’s battle suit surrounding him. For a moment, he was stunned by these people carrying fully loaded weapons. The next moment, he felt embarrassed.Romain’s subordinates were shocked upon seeing Wyvern Peak’s people. In fact, a few of them had already pu

“Wh-What?”‘Get rid of me?’Romain’s eyes filled with boundless fear and he felt like he was trapped in a nightmare.“Gah!” Romain roared, “No…don’t!”Splat!A splat was heard when Romain’s chest was pierced with a sharp blade.Mya pulled out the sharp blade and said nonchalantly, “Get rid of him.”“Yes, ma’am.”Two people came forward and dragged Romain into the car. He was taken away.Everything happened and ended quickly.Donald witnessed the scene before him and came to truly understand War Legate Draco’s mercilessness. ‘Are all the members of Wyvern Peak so cruel?’“Let’s go inside. Take me to Nadine Gardner.”Before Donald could recover from his shock, he heard Adrian’s voice commanding him. He inhaled a deep breath and made an invitatory gesture at Adrian. “Please follow me, Legate.”The entrance of Fowler House was now unobstructed, and Adrian and Mya followed Donald in.***Meanwhile, in a woman’s boudoir located in a villa of Fowler House.A woman about thirty
