The Return of the War Legate Chapter 577
Soon, Donald drove into the compounds of an enormous mountain resort on Southrive’s outskirts.The majestic mountain resort was dotted with numerous mansions and villas. There were more than a hundred cleaning staff and gardeners working here.Donald stopped the car when they arrived at the checkpoint of the resort’s entrance. He said, “Please wait here. An access pass distributed at the bottom of the mountain is needed to enter Fowler House. Each person must hold a pass. Otherwise, the person won’t be allowed to enter.“I shall go over and talk to the guard.”Adrian nodded and Donald went to negotiate with the guard at the door. Five minutes later, he came back, shaking his head as he said, “Mr. Xander, the resort’s security is too strict. I’m allowed to enter but you’re not.”Upon hearing Donald’s remark, Adrian said, “This place exists because of the war that I fought. I refuse to believe that there’s even a single place in Navia that I can’t enter.”Upon saying that, Adrian g

The sound of the gunshot was heard all across Fowler House.The administrative personnel of Fowler House was instantly alerted.“Where did that gunshot come from?”“Send someone to check it out at once.”Fowler House was thrown into chaos by the gunshot.Soon after, the security personnel of Fowler House charged onto the scene from all over the resort. These people carried guns and ballistic shields as they approached the entrance.“Um…”“This is umm…”Donald backed away two steps in shock upon seeing the numerous people gathering around them. He had heard about Fowler House’s strict security. The guards here were all seasoned professionals who were employed from battlefields in the outlands.In comparison, the people surrounding them were hired from a few countries in the outlands. One could say that the security personnel of Fowler House was considered the highest quality guards in Southrive.“Mr. Xander, they have the strength in numbers. We should leave!” Donald hastily s

“You’re that confident of yourself huh?” Adrian inquired closely.“That is of course,” answered Romain.However, just as Romain’s voice faded, the sound of roaring car engines was heard. Then, a few tens of Wyvern Peak’s cross-country vehicles of the same color swiftly drove in from the distance.These cars stopped and the doors flung open. Wyvern Peak’s soldiers carrying loaded weapons got out of the vehicles. There were more than five hundred of them, and they surrounded Romain and the others with their guns at ready.The change in situation happened so unexpectedly.Romain’s expression froze. He never expected the situation would change so suddenly.“Um… Ah…”Romain turned his head and saw hundreds of people wearing Wyvern Peak’s battle suit surrounding him. For a moment, he was stunned by these people carrying fully loaded weapons. The next moment, he felt embarrassed.Romain’s subordinates were shocked upon seeing Wyvern Peak’s people. In fact, a few of them had already pu

“Wh-What?”‘Get rid of me?’Romain’s eyes filled with boundless fear and he felt like he was trapped in a nightmare.“Gah!” Romain roared, “No…don’t!”Splat!A splat was heard when Romain’s chest was pierced with a sharp blade.Mya pulled out the sharp blade and said nonchalantly, “Get rid of him.”“Yes, ma’am.”Two people came forward and dragged Romain into the car. He was taken away.Everything happened and ended quickly.Donald witnessed the scene before him and came to truly understand War Legate Draco’s mercilessness. ‘Are all the members of Wyvern Peak so cruel?’“Let’s go inside. Take me to Nadine Gardner.”Before Donald could recover from his shock, he heard Adrian’s voice commanding him. He inhaled a deep breath and made an invitatory gesture at Adrian. “Please follow me, Legate.”The entrance of Fowler House was now unobstructed, and Adrian and Mya followed Donald in.***Meanwhile, in a woman’s boudoir located in a villa of Fowler House.A woman about thirty

Before Fraser could speak any further, the sound of footsteps came from downstairs.Soon after, Adrian and the others arrived in the living room of Nadine’s private residence.Fraser’s expression froze. “Miss, they’re here...”Nadine looked unbothered as Adrian took a seat in the living room and casually rifled through the magazine on the coffee table.Donald said, “Ms. Nadine, Wyvern Peak’s specially-assigned personnel is here to see you. Please come out to meet them.”Fraser walked out first. He observed Adrian seated on the sofa with a tense expression. He said, “Sir, please wait a moment. Ms. Nadine is getting changed inside and will be here shortly.”Adrian waited. In less than ten minutes, Nadine walked out of her boudoir in a bright red gown and red strappy heels.She was astonished ever so slightly by the sight of Adrian.“You’re a handsome one,” she commented.Adrian glanced at Nadine. She looked amused.Taking a seat across from Adrian, she asked, “What’s going on w

The heiress of the Gardner family had unique foresight and a keen eye, able to easily discern those who are of capable means.But judging by her attitude, she appeared to not be taking the matter seriously.Mya was furious. In view of her temper, she would most certainly give Nadine a few slaps if Adrian was not around.However, it was apparent that Adrian planned to ignore Nadine’s remark. “I don’t wish to repeat myself. I’d like to look into Fowler House’s sales record from about ten years ago.”“Could you be a little gentler with your words?” Nadine assumed a coy mannerism.Adrian said, “I said it before. Don’t make me repeat myself.”Nadine was no fool either. She did not have the courage to misbehave anymore upon sensing Adrian’s determination. She flipped her hair and sat back down.“You may look at Fowler House’s sales records but according to the rules, you’ll have to show evidence of Internal Affairs’ permission. Even though you’re War Legate Draco, you still need to fo

Adrian would not have dissolved Wyvern Peak if he could not stand losing.He would not have dismissed his own people if he had not considered that the country would be in chaos because of them. It was just that his actions were regarded as losing to Chase in the eyes of outsiders.Mya wanted to say something but Adrian stopped her.He looked at Nadine and said, “Ms. Nadine, you may think that you’re right about everything but I’d like to remind you that there is also more than one side to a story. You’re in charge of Fowler, so I believe that you have better foresight than others.“I don’t wish to discuss anything else with you today. I just want to find out who purchased the book Fowler House auctioned off in the past and what were the contents of that book.”Nadine shook her head. She exhaled a deep breath and sneered at Adrian. “Dream on, Legate. I won’t tell you that. You won’t be getting any answers out of me.”In truth, Nadine was very curious about Adrian's purpose in inve

Nadine lay on the sofa, her face sinking further into the cushions.She showed no unwillingness. Instead, her eyes were filled with fury. She said, “Unless you kill me, I won’t provide you with any of Fowler House’s sales information.”A woman had challenged Adrian’s authority for the first time. He would have killed her without the slightest hesitation if she were any other criminal, but he currently could not find the slightest blemish on her other than her being Chase’s niece. Thus, he could not kill her.However, it was rather difficult to handle a feisty woman with a temperament such as Nadine’s.“Are you sure you won’t tell me?” Adrian did not remove his leg from Nadine’s face as he looked at the woman laying underneath his foot arrogantly from above.Nadine was rendered incapable of doing anything. Her face was scrunched up as she answered, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell you anything and Wyvern Peak will never rise again. Even if you kill me, you won’t get any information.”Na
