Chapter 260Isla was startled by the commotion and Juno hastily came out of the kitchen.Adrian turned around and sized up the people who had entered the house.1/2“Ah? You have a visitor today, Isla? Is he your boy toy?“There’s a saying that widows are always up to no good. Are you playing with your boy toy […]
Chapter 259Just as Adrian said, there was no better way to prove his identity than the medallion.There was no other unit or department in this warld that could produce such a medallion other than Wyvern Peak.At this point, Isla suddenly bowed to Adrian.“War Legate Draco, in honor of my late husband, please help me,” Isla
Chapter 258Isla stopped Adrian at the door right away.As a mother, she would instinctively protect her child and Adrian could understand why.Juno came out of the kitchen and pulled Isla to the side.“Mother, this is War Legate Draco. Don’t be rude to him.”“Please come in,” Juno said as she pulled Adrian into the house.“Juno…” Isla
Chapter 257It was an old house that was built more than two decades ago.It was already dark out and the lights inside the house were turned on. A gaunt middle-aged woman was bustling about in thekitchen.The door flew open and Juno entered the house in her wheelchair. “I’m home, Mother!”The woman came out of the
Chapter 256Samantha quickly tidied up her hair to conceal her embarrassment.She turned around and looked at Adrian. “All right, it’s getting late. Let’s go home.”Adrian stood up. “I’ll send you home, but I myself will be home a little late tonight. I have some matters to attend to.”Samantha felt disappointed. She felt that their relationship
Chapter 255 However, Adnan was not going to play dumb this With a smile, he said, “Judging by how happy you look. I’m sure that Kendall showed up, right?” “Huh?” Samantha was surprised. That’s insane. How did you even guess that?” Adrian merely smiled, and Samantha instantly understood what had happened. I see. You went to see him, didn’t you? Why would he come here all of a sudden otherwise?” 1 Adrian nodded 1 did go to see him this morning. I told him some stuff about my father, which I’m guessing was just the push he needed to come here “Looks like you’ve got a knack for saying the night stuff at the right time. Color me surprised ” Samantha sounded rather coquett sh when she said this Adran chuckled “Not am I only good at saying the night stuff at the night time, but I’ve also get a knack for doing the right things at the right time” Samantha was startled for a moment. What do you For a moment, she was unable to comprehend what Adrian just said. However, her face instantly turned red when she realized what he meant. She walked up to him and grabbed his ear. With a mocking grin, she said. “You’ve surprised me once again Adrian.. You must’ve had a lot of fun with many women over the past few years, haven’t you? After all, you’ve got all this experience that prompts you to do the right thing at the right time. “Tell me hanestly. How many women have you slept with? “You’re the only woman I’ve ever wanted, but you keep rejecting me,” Adrian replied honestly “Are you sure?” Samantha asked skeptically. 1 swear I’d never lie to you.” Samantha finally released Adrian’s ear, but she fell silent for a moment with her face still blushing. As a woman and Adrian’s wife, Samartha thought it was only rommal for her to get involved in such activity with her husband, which was a natural instinct for all men On top of that, it was not unreasonable for Adrian to have had relations with another woman after he was done with the war since they were not together for the past seven years. At that thought, Samantha sat in front of Adrian and said, “You should see the look of shock on your face. I don’t mind if you’ve slept with numerous women. After all, that’s normal for men, isn’t it? I can understand that you had your needs while I wasn’t with you. “But as much as I don’t care how many women you’ve been with in the past, you’re only allowed to sleep with me now that you’re back by my side, understand? never forgive you if you fool around now. Got it?” The sudden gentleness in Samantha’s voice gave Adrian a fright, but her words left such a deep impact in his mind. ‘She’s thinking about my needs and is ignoring her own feelings.” Adrian smiled. “Why would you think such foolish thoughts, sweetheart? I’ve never been with a single woman over the past seven years, and that’s because you’re the only one for me.” “Really?” Samantha asked. Although she said she did not mind, there was no woman in the world who could actually accept something like that willingly. She had only been thinking about it from Adrian’s perspective, so of course she was happy to know that he had not done anything to betray her. Adrian nodded. “Really. You’ve taken up all of the space I have in my heart, which means you’re my everything.” Samantha felt a tremor in her heart, causing her tears to flow down her cheek as she hugged Adrian. She buried her face in his chest and said, “You’re my everything too. Adrian I love you… So, so much.” “Then.. Does this mean we’re going to..” Adrian chuckled as he asked. Samantha was startled for a moment before her entire face turned red. She pushed him away before saying. That depends on your behavior.”
Chapter 254 The underground research facility had just been built recently, courtesy of Samantha, Danton, and a few pharmaceutical groups. Samantha had the biggest investment in this organization and so was their leader. Since the research facility was beneath New Paraiso, it was tightly sealed. This was a safety feature that prevented any gasses within the facility from leaking out should an accident occur. At that moment, the new research team had already been formed, each one of them going through the documents retrieved from the abandoned nursing home. Samantha, Danton, and the directors from a few pharmaceutical companies, wearing protective gear, were huddled together in the facility. The other members of the team were pouring through the documents Henry had left behind. In fact, they had already created a preliminary vaccine based on the recipe he left behind. At that moment, Samantha and the others were conducting an experiment on a lab rat. They injected the vaccine into the rat before observing its reaction After approximately five minutes, the rat within the container suddenly fell over and died. “Sigh we’ve failed” Danton took a deep breath and removed his mask, revealing the beads of sweat on his forehead. ΠΗ Samantha took off her mask too before saying. We’ve created the vaccine according to the recipe father left behind, so what could the problem be? My father and his team should have already perfected the recipe. Everyone from the research team was confused, not understanding what could’ve gone wrong Danton then said, “Let’s try it again. We’ll keep a record of all the data we get.” The others nodded before suddenly hearing a voice from outside. “Even if you repeated the same thing a hundred times over, you’d only be wasting your time and energy.” Everyone turned to look toward the source of the voice, while Samantha was overjoyed. “Kendall, you’re here!” That’s right, the man who just arrived was none other than Kendall himself. Danton hurried over and said, “Welcome, Mr. Kendall!” Despite Danton holding out his hand, Kendall ignored it and said, “If I am to join you guys, I want you to heed all my instructions. Otherwise, you’d only be wasting your efforts as we did in the past.” Samantha looked at Kendall and said, “Mr. Kendall, I promise that you’ll be fully in charge of everything that goes on here if you join us ” “This research isn’t something that can be completed within a short time. I had a few case studies that I discussed with Henry in the past. We’ll be able to save a lot of time with those.” “Let’s get right to it!” The entire facility became much livelier now that Kendall had joined the team. Although Samantha did not know the reason he had shown up there, she was overjoyed that he had agreed to join them. For the entire afternoon, thanks to Kendall’s Instructions, the research team became a shadow of what it was when Henry was still alive. Meanwhile, Samantha was able to free up her time to resume company matters. The evening soon arrived, and Samantha found Adrian sitting in her office when she returned after being occupied the whole afternoon. She smiled and said. “I’ve got some good news for you, dear. Would you like to guess what it is?” “Women sure love to play guessing games, Adrian thought.
Chapter 253“Please take your seats, everyone. Do you believe that I’m the legate now?”All of them nodded silently as they stared at Adrian.“1 may be the legate, but I too have parents like you guys. I even sat in a classroom like this and went through my studies when I was your age.“Each and every
Chapter 252 Kendall’s class became a stage for Adrian, while all the students listened intently to the story of a wheelchair–bound girl’s father who fought in the war, Cold Steel was a soldier from Wyvern Peak who may not have had a very high rank, but he was indeed a soldier who sacrificed himself in the battle against Luposia, Hence, his story was still fresh in Adrian’s mind. During that class, Adrian told everyone the story of how a soldier from Wyvern Peak fought passionately to resist the invasion of Luposia, and everyone listened intently. Juno was in tears. She never knew that her father was such a heroic, courageous, and fearless man. At the end of the story. Adrian said, “During the final push to drive the enemy away, Cold Steel received an order to provide support to the fourth squad at Northdesert–an assault squad, so to speak. “But when he and his squad entered the desert area, the Luposians ambushed them. Cold Steel led his squad to slay three hundred men and they fought valiantly till their deaths.” That was where the story ended. Adrian looked at the students below the podium and said, “Juno’s father was a brave and fearless soldier, so let’s all give her a round of applause on his behalf, class!” All of the students looked at Juno and clapped their hands when Adrian said this, with Adrian joining in as well. Meanwhile, Juno sat there, frozen stiff. She felt as though she had been a part of her father’s world for a moment. Even Kendall was clapping his hands, and the commotion went on for quite a long time. When it finally stopped, Adrian gestured for everyone to remain quiet before he said, “Class, I’ve just told you all stories about Juno’s father, so I’m free to answer any questions you may have.” At that moment, a little girl stood up. “Sir, you said that Juno’s father was your subordinate, so who are you? How do you know all these things?” Adrian smiled and replied. “That’s because I’m War Legate Draco.” The entire classroom was in an uproar when they heard this, even Kendall shut his eyes. The students began to chatter among themselves. “He’s the legate?” “Seriously?” “Why would he be in our school?” The students were rather skeptical. The girl who asked that question stood up once again and said, “Do you have anything to prove your identity, sir? I heard that the legate owns a medallion. One that allows him to command the millions of soldiers at Wyvern Peak.” Adrian smiled before proceeding to take out his medallion. “She’s right. The War Legate Medallion is indeed capable of commanding the soldiers at Wyvern peak. I will satisfy all of your curiosities today by passing around my medallion.” He then handed over the medallion to a student in the front row. A few others scooched over for a look before it was passed to the row behind them. All of them took a really good look at the medallion, which had a falcon, a dragon, a unicorn, and a phoenix engraved on it. After all, the War Legate Medallion was one of a kind. “Could the last student please return the medallion to me? It’s useless in your hands and it might even put your lives in danger just by carrying it,” Adrian said as he smiled A plump little bay walked up to Adrian and handed over the medallion with both hands. “Thank you” Adrian said with a smile.
Chapter 251Unperturbed by the students’ gazes, Adrian began, “War Legate Draco, born Adrian Xander, hails from Swallowston and joined Wyvern Peak as a soldier when he was eighteen.”‘Adrian Xander?”The students’ ears perked up when they heard this, while Kendall was stunned.The students began to chatter among themselves.“The legate’s name is Adrian? And he’s from Swallowston
