The Return of the War Legate Chapter 611
Nadine covered her mouth, feeling a tingle on her scalp and cold sweat trickling down her back.Perhaps the coffin had shocked her nerves with its tremendous impact that her legs trembled profusely and gave way.Under the light, the glass coffin was revealed to contain a corpse, one that was drying up.“What’s a coffin doing in here?” Adrian frowned and snapped a photo of it.Nadine, who stood next to him, was stunned. The floor beneath her, including her high heels, was already drenched.Adrian turned around and looked at the floor in confusion. “Did you just wet yourself out of shock?”Nadine was in tears and red in the face. “I-I… I tend to… Wh-When I get too nervous…”Adrian heaved a sigh and picked Nadine off the floor.‘Her muscles are all tensed up. Looks like she really is nervous.’Adrian then patted her body and helped move her limbs around. “You shouldn’t have come here. Anyway, it’s just a corpse. You’ve got me here, don’t you?”Finally, Nadine relaxed a little, b

Nadine pointed upstairs, and Adrian brought her with him to the old man’s study without a second thought.When he opened the door and shone his flashlight inside, he suddenly saw a man sitting before the desk. This man’s presence was enough to cause Nadine’s scalp to tingle and her legs to tremble once more.Adrian held her by the waist and stood outside the door as he looked at the man.The man was wearing a coat, with his elbows against the desk and his palms against his head. The man had completely decomposed, leaving behind a layer of darkened skin that had freckles all over it.His nails were long and blackish-purple in color.“Grandfather?” Nadine immediately said when she took a good look.“This is your grandfather?” Adrian asked.Nadine nodded profusely as she replied, “That’s him, but isn’t he buried? I was there when they buried his coffin. What’s he doing here?”She was stunned, wondering how a man who should have been buried was doing in his own study as a corpse.

A dense musty and humid smell came out from within.The secret room was not big, to begin with. In fact, it could not even fit a single person inside. However, there was a rectangular little table with a book sitting on it, covered by a piece of tarpaulin.Adrian took a deep breath and reached out to pick up the book, while Nadine seemed filled with shock and anxiously wanted to open it up.After flipping through a couple of pages, Adrian said, “This is a copy written in pen by your grandfather. I believe it’s Heroes of Wyvern Peak that was auctioned off at Fowler House.”Nadine became even more eager when she heard this. “Hurry up and take a look at what’s inside.”Adrian nodded and was just about to take a better look at its contents when he suddenly heard a voice say, “What’s going on here?! What the f*ck are you guys doing on the floor?! Are you all dozing off?!“Get up! Get up right now!”Adrian immediately turned his flashlight off when he heard the voice. The next shift o

“Just one kiss.” Nadine held up a finger.Feeling helpless, Adrian held the back of Nadine’s head and kissed her on the forehead. After that, he let go of her and disappeared into the night without a trace, leaving Nadine standing there in a daze, touching the part of her forehead he had kissed.After a long time, Nadine looked in the direction he had disappeared and said, “I really, really, really want to have you, but I know you’re not mine… If only we met each other a little sooner…”She then heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “But it’s okay. You may not belong to me, but I belong to you. I’ll be your woman for the rest of my life.”At the same time, Carlene was standing on the balcony upstairs, silently watching her daughter with an extremely pained expression on her face.Nadine had no idea her mother was watching her and soon returned to her room.***Adrian left the Gardner family residence at two in the morning and arrived at a nearby square, where a car had been parked

‘Before, Kayn gave me a female-looking wooden doll and said that she was going to be the next legate of Wyvern Peak.‘Now, this book that the old man wrote states that Juno is going to be Wyvern Peak’s legate in the future, codenamed White Crane.’Adrian believed in the book’s contents since the prophecy about him becoming the legate came true. However, the old man had not copied the entire prophecy. In fact, there were only bits and pieces of it.He fell into deep thought at that moment.***“What does it say, sir?” Daniel asked when he saw Adrian’s expression.Hearing this, Adrian handed the book over to Daniel, who glanced through it before finding the same line.After reading it, Daniel seemed really surprised and said, “What the… This can’t be true, can it? Is Juno Byrd going to become a legate in the future? The same Juno in your family?”Daniel was extremely shocked, especially since he knew about Adrian’s family matters.“Let me have a look.” Mya took the book and look

Adrian planned to return to his room since the sun was not up yet. Yet, the moment he entered the living room, he ran into Joanna, who was in her pajamas.Joanna bumped her head against Adrian’s chest and hissed in pain. When she looked up and saw that it was Adrian, she said, “Are you crazy? What are you doing walking around so quietly in the middle of the night?”Adrian turned the lights on and turned toward her. “I think that should be my line. What are you doing out here at five in the morning?”Joanna rolled her eyes. “That’s none of your business.”Through the corner of his eyes, Adrian saw that the fridge’s door was ajar and Joanna’s hands were behind her back.‘I see what’s happening here.’“Are you getting a snack?” Adrian asked with a smile.Feeling exposed, Joanna chose not to hide anymore. Actually, she was famished and wanted to grab something to eat.“I’m hungry because I didn’t eat last night,” she replied.Adrian thought it was funny and shook his head as he he

Samantha fell silent, thinking that Adrian was right.However, there were times when one had to be very brave before making certain decisions.Adrian was already considered to be of old age to Wyvern Peak—with all of his capabilities gradually deteriorating. What they needed was a new legate with excellent reflexes and a clear mental state to manage them.Hence, he was searching for such a person.The question was whether Juno was truly capable of becoming the legate of Wyvern Peak. Indeed, if she became the legate, she would be the first in Wyvern Peak’s history—Navia’s even.Samantha took a deep breath and said, “I support you, dear, but you’re still going to have to persuade Mother…”“I’ll talk to her about it later.”Samantha said nothing more about the matter.***Adrian gave out orders over the next few days to all of Wyvern Peak’s soldiers that were scattered across the country to be on standby.Meanwhile, he made preparations to retrieve War Legate Achelous’ corpse fr

Nadine looked at her mother and asked, “What else are you hiding from me? Am I really your daughter, for starters? Why won’t you tell me anything?”Hearing this, Carlene knew Nadine was already aware of everything. She was already prepared for Nadine to find out the truth ever since Adrian showed up.“Come and sit, Naddy. Let’s sleep together tonight.” Carlene smiled as she patted her bed.Nadine walked over but knelt by the bedside and said, “I’m no longer a child, Mother. I’m thirty now. How long are you planning on hiding the truth from me?She then asked, “That corpse in the glass coffin at Grandfather’s villa… It’s Father, isn’t it? Don’t you think it’s just ridiculous for a daughter to wet herself from the shock of seeing her father’s corpse? After all, you know that happens to me whenever I get overly anxious…”“I thought this would all be over, but War Legate Draco has found out about it in the end… You see, Naddy. I sincerely wished for history not to repeat itself. Many
