It felt as if the entire city halted to a stop for Adrian.The citizens stopped working on their tasks so they could focus on the event that was about to take place at north Swallowston’s public square.Lessons at school were also stopped. The televisions hanging on the wall of the classrooms were playing the news.All the students silently watched the domineering War Legate Draco in his military uniform on the screen, and Juno was no exception.Her eyes were filled with the light of patriotism as she stared at the television in her classroom. She could feel her blood boiling even though she was just a young girl.The students in the class were silently cheering on War Legate Draco.To enlighten the students about today’s event, the teacher said, “Students, this man on the screen is our war legate, War Legate Draco. He had hunted down and killed the Luposians a few days ago for stirring up trouble in Swallowston.“The school has just received notification from above that the Lup
Watching the assassins get closer and closer, Adrian remained steadfast as he heard the chants cheering him on and the whirring of the drones above him.At that moment, Samantha covered her mouth with both hands, realizing that everything had changed.Her husband truly was the strongest man in the world!He was the heroic man called Draco, who controls Wyvern Peak, protects his country, and had an extremely powerful legacy. So much so that everyone knew who he was.‘He’s the legate… I’m sure of it now.’Samantha never connected Adrian to being the legate before, but she suddenly recalled how Adrian had indeed told her that he was the legate when he first returned. However, she had not believed him at the time.After taking in a deep breath, Samantha wiped her tears and said in a low voice, “Go get ‘em, Legate.”She knew that countless countries from the outer regions were watching Adrian’s battle too. This battle would decide their country’s fate.If Adrian lost, everyone would
“He’s doing it!”Countless screams could be heard throughout the city.“He’s making his move! He looks so cool!”“Oh, my God! How is he able to move so quickly?!”“I’m sure he must be God reincarnated! That speed is just incredible!”Everyone covered their mouths as they witnessed Adrian spring into action after having stood so still just a moment ago.Meanwhile, Samantha saw Adrian charge directly into the volley of bullets. Behind him, he had left behind a mirage of himself as he swiftly jumped up and down, instantly covering the more than a hundred meters between him and his enemies.On the other hand, everyone else saw the legate dodging bullet after bullet at a speed so fast that they had to replay the recording in slow motion.Thanks to this video function, they were able to see how Adrian continuously brushed past the bullets while moving forward as quickly as lightning.Immediately after that, he lifted his guns and spread them wide open.Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!Mo
The thunderous applause was accompanied by deafening cheers.After all, the legate had just killed all of the assassins sent by the top three assassin organizations right before everyone’s eyes.This was a glorious achievement and an unparalleled honor. The War Legate Draco’s reputation had now traveled far and wide as the strongest war legate that hails from Navia.This moment would go down in history!Countless people were cheering and celebrating on Adrian’s behalf. The legate had not only proven his own prowess, but also how powerful Navia was to the outer regions. He had proven that the soldiers of Navia were all courageous, fearless, and proud.Samantha’s hands clasped her mouth as she heard the cheers and applause coming from all directions, soaking everything in.Time seemed to have stopped at that very moment.A female reporter stood before the camera and cheered in a passionate voice. Excited, she yelled, “Did you see that?! The legate killed all of the assassins from
Without saying a word to Samantha, Adrian turned around and said to Lucas, “Gather the corpses and throw them all into Luposia’s borders. Also, send another team to the outer regions. Warn them that we’ll throw everything we have at them should Luposia commit the same mistake.”“Yes, sir,” Lucas replied.“And get me out of here,” Adrian said.When Lucas waved his hand, an ordinary-looking jeep drove toward them.Adrian gestured toward Barry, who was some ways away, to stay behind and help out before getting into the jeep with Samantha.Everything returned to normal after the jeep pulled away from the scene.The legate disappeared after eliminating all the assassins. As it stood, nobody had seen his true face yet. He would only reveal his eyes whenever he showed up, which was why nobody knew what he looked like.The battle was over, and Lucas and his men cleaned up the battlefield while Adrian and Samantha left.***Adrian took a deep breath as the car sped away. After taking o
Women had a habit of overthinking things.Samantha was beginning to let her thoughts run wild. At that moment, she could see how great the distance between them was—with one being a great hero, while the other was nothing more than an ordinary woman.How could the two of them possibly be a good match for one another?Adrian did not answer her question directly. Instead, he held her hands and said, “The way I see it, a woman who’s willing to wait for me for seven whole years is definitely no ordinary woman.“Stop those silly thoughts of yours.”Samantha fell silent and buried her face into his chest.The couple soon arrived home. Rue was sitting on the sofa when Samantha called out, “We’re home, Mother.”Rue sprung to her feet and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Adrian in one piece. “Are you okay, my son?” Adrian nodded.“Huh? Why do you sound like you already know about his identity?” Samantha sounded slightly startled as she asked.Rue heaved a sigh and grabbed Samanth
Rue knew that Samantha must have a lot of things to say to Adrian after all they have been through.After all, Rue was a woman who had gone through a similar experience. It was only natural that she knew when it was time for her to excuse herself.As Adrian and Samantha returned to their room, Rue rode her motorcycle to the market. On the way there, she gave Adaline a call, telling her to return home as soon as her classes were over.***Samantha sat by the bedside, her face slightly reddened and stiff like when she first married into the family.This was probably due to Adrian’s true identity.For a moment, she felt as though she was facing a complete stranger after finding out that Adrian was the legate. She felt like she needed to face him all over again.“What’s the matter?” Adrian asked when he saw how stiff she was.Samantha’s earlobes reddened. She turned around and stared at Adrian for a long time before she suddenly threw herself into his arms and they both fell onto t
When Rue returned with the groceries that afternoon, Samantha joined her in the kitchen to help prepare dinner.Adrian did not stay home for long. He headed back out to the Battle Warrior Department and was there the entire afternoon.Samantha naturally did not interfere now that she knew about Adrian’s job. Instead, she stayed home to prepare dinner and waited for him to return.The ladies prepared a scrumptious meal for that night, and when it was almost evening, Rue said, “Juno’s about to finish school, Sam. I’ll handle the rest myself. You go ahead and pick her up.”“I’ll just give Adrian a call and tell him to pick Juno. He should be on his way back anyhow.”Samantha then picked up her phone and called Adrian, asking him to pick Juno up from school.After hanging up the call, Adrian headed to Swallowston High and waited at the entrance. After waiting for just five minutes, Juno came out in her wheelchair, chatting away happily with her friends.When she saw Adrian, she said
