The Return of the War Legate Chapter 561
With a loud “pow,” Oswald’s body trembled as his innards turned to mush from the force of impact. His heart was initially racing but stopped beating as time passed.Oswald’s mouth was wide open as he looked up toward Adrian with glazed eyes. He then fell over a moment later. Needless to say, he was dead.Adrian then gestured toward Oswald’s men and said, “Take him away.”“Yes, sir!” Oswald’s men quickly answered and dragged Oswald’s body out of there before frantically making their escape.After they drove off into the distance, Adrian turned around toward Franzen and said, “You and your group are pretty good. Please, continue.”Grateful to Adrian, Franzen bowed and said, “Thank you, sir!”Adrian nodded and walked off the stage, returning to Samantha’s side.The people beneath the stage had a short discussion before leaving what just happened behind them. After all, they had no idea what happened on stage. The choir resumed their singing and were even more serious about it now t

Franzen became visibly ecstatic when he heard this.Adrian was telling him that Wyvern Peak would rebuild when the time was right.As a descendant of a member of Dracolier’s Den, this was something Franzen looked forward to seeing very much.***After Adrian and his family had some of Swallowston’s most famous street food, they shopped for a while and returned home at eleven.Samantha and Adrian went back to their bedroom. He accompanied her into the bathroom to take a shower. Adrian stayed by her side the whole time because he was concerned that Samantha might slip and fall while the floor was slippery.Although they were a married couple, Samantha still felt a little shy and uncomfortable with him being there.The couple went to bed after their shower.Samantha sat on the bed in her pajamas, towel-drying her hair as she asked, “What did you and Carver talk about, dear? Didn’t you say he’s really good at fortune-telling?“Did you not ask him who’s going to become the next leg

Some people of the past had made use of these coincidences, claiming it to be a prophecy.“What I need to do now is find out who Carver really is. After that, I have to find out the source of this prophecy he overheard.”“Do you believe in prophecies, dear?” Samantha asked.Prophecies held a cultural significance of their own. It did not matter if people believed in them or not. Sometimes, things were destined to happen one way or another.Adrian smiled. “There exist some things that just can’t be explained through science.”Being a learned person herself, Samantha agreed with Adrian’s statement and nodded in agreement.“I believe the first thing you should do is find the source of the prophecy. It won’t bring any harm if it can point you in the right direction.”“You’re right.” Adrian agreed.They both chatted for a while longer until Samantha became sleepy and nuzzled into Adrian’s arms, falling fast asleep. He pulled the blanket over them and folded her into his arms.The n

Hearing this, Samantha replied, “Where else could he go? He’s off to find Carver, of course. Adrian told me that Carver probably came across some prophecies somewhere.”“Prophecies?” Joanna seemed puzzled.“What are prophecies?” Rue asked, not knowing what that was.Joanna then said, “Juno, could you explain it to your mother please?”Juno said, “Prophecies are told by seers that foretell something that may happen in the future. People of the past used to believe in such things. Nobody talks about such things in our current times, but that doesn’t mean that the technique is lost forever.”“I still don’t understand.” Rue shook her head.Juno smiled and elaborated further. “If, for example, I’d like to start a rebellion in the past, I’d find a lot of capable people to write a few books before I mobilize my armies. These books would contain hints that point to me becoming the future emperor, which would then in turn be known as a prophecy.“Prophecies were made up by men, and peopl

After Adrian got out of the car, he asked, “How have you been? Well, I hope.”Mya nodded in acknowledgment before they walked into the university together.“Southeast University is affiliated with Internal Affairs and Bowen Mercer’s the principal here. I’ve already contacted him beforehand, so we can head straight to his office.”“All right,” Adrian said with a nod.As they strode past the campus field, they came across all manner of students. This showed just how popular the university was with its fifty years of history. The university had undergone renovation work around five times, both major and minor.Adrian and Mya soon arrived at Bowen’s office. Due to the bad blood between Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs, Mya had set up the meeting with Bowen using her family name instead. Hence, Adrian’s identity as the legate remained a secret.When Mya knocked on the office door, a man who looked to be more than fifty years old opened it. This man was Bowen Mercer, Southeast Universi

Bowen found it difficult to answer Adrian as he did not have a deep impression of Kayn.After a very long time, he finally shook his head and said, “I’m truly sorry, Mr. Adrian, but I don’t know him that well. I’m afraid I can’t answer your questions.“Would it be all right for you to tell me what’s going on?”Having no intentions of keeping Bowen in the dark, Adrian told him about the prophecy. Of course, he left out some parts, just in case.When Bowen heard of the prophecy, he said, “Prophecies have become almost extinct now. In fact, not a single one has appeared in Navia over the past few years.”“Does your university’s library have anything related to this subject?” Adrian asked.Bowen returned to thinking for a while before saying, “None as far as I know. But perhaps there are some ancient records that mentioned something about prophecies, but it’d merely be surface knowledge. That’s all we have, I believe.”Adrian and Mya remained silent for a moment before Mya looked up

The wooden door was locked and had a thick layer of dust covering it. Judging by the dust’s thickness, it was obvious that the place had been uninhabited for at least two months.“Open it,” Adrian said to Mya as he stepped back.Instantly, Mya broke the lock with a single punch. She then pushed the door open, revealing the dense musky smell from within.The room was covered in spiderwebs. Stacks of sealed books, uniforms, and some furniture lay haphazardly all over the place. The lights were still functional, so Mya turned it on and cleared up the cobwebs.“You can come in now,” Mya said.After Adrian entered, he noticed how the room was pretty small—with only a desk, a bookshelf, a cabinet, and a bed. There were old newspaper cuttings from some decades ago plastered to the wall, most of them had since been rendered illegible.“This place is a mess. What clues are we supposed to find here?” Mya wiped the tip of her nose to remove some dust.Adrian went further in, scanning his s

Mya and Adrian continued to search Kayn’s old place for a while longer but found nothing more aside from that newspaper cutting.They then left and asked Bowen to give them the address of Kayn’s ex-wife.***Ten minutes later.Adrian was waiting in his car which was parked in front of the university’s entrance. Mya quickly pulled up in hers and Adrian hopped in.“Thanks to Mr. Bowen, we now know that Kayn’s ex-wife is named Christina Frye. She’s an engineer and is currently living in Palm Springs. She’s working at Epsilon Construction at the moment.”“Where is she now?” Adrian asked.“Let’s visit her house first. If she’s not there, we should be able to find her at work. The western side of Southeast City is currently erecting a few school accommodations, and she’s the person in charge of that project.”“Okay.” Adrian nodded, thinking that this matter with Kayn had become surprisingly important. In fact, it was so important that he needed to drop everything he had on hand to ge
