The cleaner raised him until he was five before passing away from an illness.Jerome was once again orphaned. Gorgonshire’s Vangles Orphanage took Jerome in, and he attended elementary and junior high in Vanglesville. Due to his extraordinary talent, photographic memory, and excellent academic performance, he ranked first in the entire Gorgonshire. He was accepted into the best high school in Gorgonshire—Gorgonshire High. However, Chase was conducting internal reforms within the country at the time and Jerome’s life was affected. The orphanage was shut down and he became homeless.At the age of fourteen, Jerome sustained himself by trash picking on the streets at night and studying hard at school during the day. The principal of Gorgonshire High, Saul Cassidy, took notice of Jerome’s plight and decided to take him under his wing. Jerome then became Saul’s student, bringing an

For the first time, Adrian was filled with so much anticipation. He looked forward to Juno, Sage, and also Jerome’s performance. This year’s legate selection would be the most exciting and powerful throughout Wyvern Peak’s history. Society progressed, technologies advanced, and people moved forward. The candidates became more outstanding as the years went by. The current students might even easily break Adrian’s past records.Adrian and Raquel flew to Gorgonshire that very night. Adrian wanted to meet Jerome in person.***Many people were gathered at the Gorgonshire Academy of Gorgonton. There was news that the elderly principal, Saul, was deathly ill and would pass soon. The orphans he had adopted over the years, the people he had helped, and his numerous students came as soon as possible to see him one last time.Saul had been a military advisor of Wyvern Peak many years ago, serving the legate two offices before Adrian. He had helped War Legate Achelous lead the troops to two

Saul started calling out. The people in the room panicked. Saul’s son got up and shouted, “Call Jerome! Find out where he is now!”“Jerome’s back!” A voice came from outside the room. A nineteen-year-old young man ran into the room. He made his way to the bedside and dropped to his knees, his hands clutching Saul’s hands. It was Jerome, the babe found in the War Legate Shrine who had encountered countless hardships while growing up yet never gave up hope. “I’m back, sir,” said Jerome shakily, clutching tightly to Saul’s hands. He trembled and tears blurred his vision as he gazed at his esteemed mentor who was at death’s door. Saul turned and stretched out a hand to cup Jerome’s face. “You’re back, my child.”“Yes, I am,” said Jerome with tears. He felt powerless in the face of his mentor’s failing condition. He could only watch with tears in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Saul said weakly, “You’ve seen War Legate Draco, right?”Jerome nodded. “Yes, I have, si

“Father!”“Mr. Saul!”A cacophony of cries followed Saul’s passing. His two children and the students he had supported broke down in tears.He was gone. Saul had enjoyed telling people that he was a commoner who wanted to live an uncommon life. He joined Wyvern Peak at twenty and he attended Azure Creek University for two years. He was then transferred to Wyvern Peak and given the position of military advisor for the Leo Squad. Within a year, the legate promoted him to Wyvern Peak’s chief military advisor, he led the organization to numerous victories.His health then deteriorated and he left Wyvern Peak. However, Saul did not become sluggish because of this. He founded a school, financially supported poor students, and educated many people. He had trained numerous talents for Wyvern Peak every year. There were currently at least seventy Wyvern Peak members who used to be Saul’s students.“Father!” Saul’s children bawled. Jerome clenched his fists tightly. He remained kneeling

Raquel was acquainted with Saul and even attended one of his lectures. Though it was only an hour, it benefitted Raquel for the rest of her life. She never expected to see the day such a highly-respected scholar and military advisor leave this world.“I still recall Saul’s lecture from when I first joined Wyvern Peak. I found it enlightening, and his words still affect me up to this day.”Raquel shook her head, feeling rather powerless. It was inevitable that Saul would pass away one day, but it was just too sudden “Is that Jerome?” she asked. Adrian nodded and gazed at the person holding an urn in the frontmost car. “Yes. Jerome gives me the impression of a very calm person. He’s rather mature and his mentality has far surpassed his peers due to lack of parents.”“He exudes a kingly presence that not even you had when you first became legate.” Raquel had been there from the moment Adrian became Wyvern Peak’s leader. She was merely stating the truth. She turned to him and said

It was Adrian. He wanted to guide Jerome on the final path. Jerome failed to notice Adrian, simply standing quietly by the river and gazing out at the darkness ahead, feeling the wind in his hair. Adrian stopped in his tracks and said, “Have you ever considered that the darkness ahead you can’t perceive is your future?”Jerome was startled upon hearing the voice. He whipped around and took two steps back upon noticing Adrian. “W-War Legate Draco? What brought you here?” said Jerome in astonishment. He had just returned from Songton, so theoretically, the legate should be there. How was Adrian here right now?Jerome scrutinized Adrian and was convinced that it was indeed War Legate Draco who was standing before him right now. He recalled Saul saying that everything had been arranged by War Legate Draco. It was War Legate Draco who opened this path for him and brought him to where he was today while Saul was just the person who guided him down the path. Jerome said in shock, “W

Adrian asked, “Do you think that you’re the reincarnation of five legates?”Jerome shook his head. “I’m not. I was just abandoned by my parents. I am myself—a unique and one-of-a-kind individual.”Adrian patted Jerome’s shoulder. “The reality is that you can surpass the five legates and show the world your capabilities.”“I-I can surpass the five legates?” Jerome pointed at himself in disbelief. The five legates were regarded as god-like entities throughout history. Their extraordinary achievements were recognized by all. Jerome was flattered by Adrian’s aspiring words. “Did Saul tell you to do better?” asked Adrian. “Yes, he did,” Jerome said, “He told me not to pursue the best, but to do better in everything. He wanted me to be even better than the best.”Adrian said, “Do you believe you’re capable of that?”“I…” Jerome lowered his head and stared at his hands, questioning if he had the ability to do so. Adrian said, “Everyone has their aspirations and pursuits. However,

Adrian’s words guided Jerome to move forward like an invisible force. The passion that Jerome had kept hidden in his heart erupted. It ignited a fire of strong determination and grand ambitions in him.Jerome had been stirred.***After meeting Jerome, Adrian and Raquel headed to the airport to leave Gorgonshire. Raquel asked Adrian while she drove, “How’s the boy? Do you think he’s qualified?”One would need not only capability but also awareness, courage, and great character to lead Wyvern Peak. Adrian had observed every candidate and was trying to understand them so that he could choose a suitable successor. After all, this was no trivial matter. “I shall hold back my assessment for the time being,” Adrian replied. There were things that were inappropriate to say for the time being because he placed his hope on not only Jerome. Other than their skills, there were many other factors that influenced one’s ability to lead Wyvern Peak.Noticing Adrian’s reluctance to comment,
