The Return of the War Legate Chapter 567
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

Adrian held his arms in the air. “Sure, but you can’t show anyone the picture or post it online.”“Okay, okay!”Overwhelmed by excitement, Shirley quickly wrapped her arms around Adrian’s after asking Mya to help take a picture of them. After they were done, Shirley looked at the photo gleefully.“This is awesome! This will be the most important photo of my life, sir!“By the way, will Wyvern Peak be rebuilt? A lot of my friends, myself included, are huge fans of you guys.“Can I treat you to a meal perhaps?”Shirley’s relentless flurry of questions left Adrian startled. Next to him, Mya smiled and said, “Shirley, the legate has really important matters to attend to right now, so he currently doesn’t have the time. However, on his behalf, I promise he’ll come to buy you a meal when he has time in the future. For now, I need you to tell me where your mother is.”Shirley understood and tidied her hair as he recalled Adrian mentioning her father’s name a moment ago.“Is my father

When they arrived downstairs, Mya took the wheel while Shirley led them toward Christina’s workplace.Christina was an engineer who was in charge of building a school accommodation.Half an hour later, Mya drove into a worksite in the western parts of Southeast City and parked her car. Shirley quickly got out and spotted Christina, who was wearing a safety helmet and uniform, about to leave the worksite.Shirley rushed toward her. “Mother! Wait!”Christina, who was far away, stopped right outside the worksite entrance and turned around curiously when she heard Shirley’s voice. She became even more confused when she saw Shirley running in her direction.“Shirley? What are you doing here?” Christina asked.Shirley said with a smile, “I have two friends who are here to see you. They said it’s important.”Following that, Mya and Adrian walked over.The moment Christina saw Mya and Adrian, she said, “There’s something urgent I need to look into right now, Shirley. Come see me after

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
