Tanner tried to leave but a dagger was suddenly pressed against his neck before he could do so.“Nobody is leaving this place without the legate’s permission. Anyone who tries will be executed.”Tanner trembled profusely but tried to put on a strong front as he retreated. He was surrounded, his text messages blocked, and his orders unable to be dispatched. The only thing he could do now was to wait and pray that his men down there would be able to kill the legate. Otherwise, he was in for a whole lot of trouble.Seeing this, Daniel could not stop himself from letting out a laugh and said, “I get the feeling that you’re treating us locals like idiots, Mr. Tanner. Anyway, today is a good opportunity to show you just how powerful our legate is.”Tanner pretended to not understand what Daniel was saying and sounded a lot friendlier as he said, “General Daniel, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between us? Since the legate is here, why don
“Move, move, move! They should be just up ahead!” yelled the leading Luposian.More than ten thousand people then rushed into the tunnel. However, as they charged in completely unguarded, a figure suddenly showed up out of nowhere and was followed by a flash of light.Instantly, screams of agony could be heard along with blood splatters as dozens of their numbers fell to the ground. This sudden turn of events caused the others to feel helpless.In fact, they could not even tell who had attacked them.Then, Adrian rushed out and charged toward the group of Luposians. Some of them were so spooked they began to fire their guns randomly, killing their own comrades as a result. At the end of the day, this tunnel was not suited for gun combat due to how enclosed it was.Adrian’s surprise attack instantly threw the entire place into chaos.“What the hell! What’s going on?!” yelled a Luposian who could not wrap his head around what was happening.“Where is he?!”“Where’d he go?!”Some
Maybe they decided to change their strategy.Twenty minutes later, the trio left the tunnel and arrived at a brightly lit cavern. It was revealed to be a huge underground hub with many rooms leading off of it. There were all kinds of stuff inside the hub, including daily necessities, food, and weapons.It was clear that this place had constantly been inhabited, with a lot of tenants no less.Adrian stopped and signaled for Vivian and Bram to stay back. ‘It’s too quiet here… Something is off.’“You two stay here and wait for me.” Adrian walked into the hub and climbed on top of some crates to scan the area.Vivian whispered, “Be careful, Adrian! There might be people around the area!”Bram held his breath as well.At that moment, the door of the surrounding rooms got kicked down, followed by countless gunshots as men showed up one after the other. All of the gunfire was aimed in Adrian’s direction in a net formation.Without a moment’s hesitation, Adrian jumped off the crates an
A historical event was taking place inside the underground SK hub.The Luposians had been hiding inside Scorpio Hub for many years, lying in wait till the day they executed their plans. Yet, Adrian’s sudden appearance had turned their plans to ashes.These Luposians sent from the outlands had never experienced what a true battlefield was like so they had no idea what a real massacre was.After half an hour’s worth of gore and slaughter, all that was left were heaps of bodies on the floor. As Adrian broke the neck of the last man, there were no longer any Luposians standing on their feet within Scorpio Hub.There were a few more who were struggling to get up but Adrian mercilessly snapped their necks beneath his feet, thus ending the battle. As he tossed away his daggers and scanned his surroundings, he saw that Scorpio Hub was a huge mess.Vivan rushed toward him in glee and said, “That was intense, Adrian! You did great out there! You’ve just made me a huge fan!”Adrian shot a g
Daniel’s subordinates quickly got to work.Soon after, an unprecedented chase began. The whole of Swallowston was on guard and every person was strictly vetted before being allowed to enter or leave the city.The Luposians hiding in Swallowston started to panic as the Battle Warrior Department’s personnel showed up on the streets to pursue them one by one.Havoc reigned over all of Swallowston that night.***Over at SK, Adrian stepped out of Scorpio Hub with Vivian and Bram. Soon afterward, the place was sealed off and Daniel’s subordinates were dispatched to clean it up. SK was always shut down and would not be opening its doors any time soon.A stretcher was brought over. Adrian placed Bram on it, held his hand, and said, “Brother, go to the hospital and recuperate in peace. Thank you so much for what you did today.”Bram waved at Adrian and said, “Sir, please don’t forget about me. Remember that I gave my life for Wyvern Peak.”Vivian was amused by Bram’s statement.Then,
The next morning was a bright and sunny day.It was a long holiday weekend so Samantha did not need to go to work.The first thing Adrian wanted to do was head to the Battle Warrior Department. The SK incident that had turned the night upside down would come to an end today.Samantha insisted on following him because she was bored at home.Adrian could not bring himself to reject her so he took Samantha with him to the Battle Warrior Department.***Adrian and Samantha walked into the Battle Warrior Tower of Swallowston. It was her first time entering the building as War Legate Draco’s wife.She felt that the Battle Warrior Tower was especially cordial at this moment and she figured that it was due to Adrian’s identity.Daniel, Mya, Serpent, Magus, and the others were in a meeting. Adrian made his way to the meeting room right away. The group sprung to their feet at the sight of him.“War Legate Draco!”“War Legate Draco!”They greeted him.Adrian beckoned at Daniel and sai
Adrian said, “I’ve always acted deceitfully in the face of an enemy army. You should know this very well. Hence, my words may not necessarily be trustable.”“You…”Byron’s entire body was shaking from anger. Adrian smiled at him, but in his eyes, Adrian’s smile looked like the smile of the devil.Then, Adrian shifted his gaze to Tanner and said, “How about you, Tanner? I’d like to know if you were pleasantly surprised. Did I catch you off guard?”Tanner’s face was drenched in sweat. Large droplets dripped onto the floor. He would be lying if he said he was not scared.No one would be able to remain calm in the face of death.However, Tanner suppressed his fear with great effort and answered, “Sir, I don’t know if I made a mistake at some point but I’ve always been very cautious over the years. How did you find out about this?”Adrian sipped his coffee and shook his head. “I haven’t been in Swallowston over the past few years.”Tanner broke down upon hearing this revelation. He
Joanna widened her eyes in surprise as she continued to eat.She asked, “Adrian, why are you looking to befriend a single woman? Are you planning to remarry? Come to me if you wish to remarry. I’m single. What do you think?”Adrian glared at Joanna. In truth, he had considered Joanna before but realized that she and Bram would not make a good match.Adrian had promised Bram that he would set Bram up with a girl. As War Legate Draco, he had to keep his word to his own people.Vivian told Adrian that Bram would be discharged from the hospital this afternoon and he recalled that he had to set Bram up with a date. Hence, he asked Samantha about that.Adrian said, “Jojo, will you please stop thinking about such nonsense? Why would I want to remarry out of nowhere? Also, where would I find someone else as beautiful as Sam?”“If you don’t wish to remarry, why are you asking about single women? I am single though…” Joanna muttered.Adrian smacked his forehead and then told the group abo
