Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 2261 - Bab 2270

Adrian was no fool. He let out a sly smile and turned to Mihika. "Since he's not saying anything, you can go ahead and kill him.."Mihika wanted to laugh. She knew Adrian was jerking Morok’s strings. However, she pretended to be serious and replied, "Alright, let's get this done then."She once again swung the frosty sword, slashing toward Morok.As he was about to be struck, Morok closed his eyes and cried out, "Aaaahhh! Wait!" Swish...The sword came to a halt, stopping less than ten centimeters from Morok."I'll talk! I’ll talk!" Morok said, "I'll tell you everything I know. Please don't kill me..."Adrian cocked an eyebrow. "All right, go on then." He sat before Morok, looking at the latter as if he was ready to listen to a story.Morok gulped and said, "But before I tell you anything, you have to promise me something.”"What?" Adrian seemed a little impatient.Morok glanced around, then said, "You have to protect, or else I won't say anything.""Fine, we’ll protect you

After a long sigh, Adrian explained the situation to Vardala in detail. When he was done, he asked, "Do you know what's going on, Vardala? Who are the people from the Burning Sky tribe and why are they after you? If you know the reason behind all this, please tell me."Vardala’s brows furrowed tightly and he bit his lips until they almost bled. Adrian could sense that he had something on his mind."I know you have some troubles, but this matter needs to be resolved. If it's left unattended, those from Burning Sky might send someone after you again. They might even attack you personally. You have to be prepared for the worst and consider the pros and cons carefully,” Adrian advised.Vardala’s frown deepened.As Adrian had said all he could, he did not interfere further. He had to wait for Vardala to disclose the details willingly to ensure it was the most genuine information. He waited silently for Vardala to speak.After a while, Vardala finally sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Sir Ad

Helping Vardala was equivalent to gaining a huge favor. Even if Adrian couldn't win over Burning Sky in the end, obtaining some benefits from them would still be valuable. The resources from such a powerful tribe would undoubtedly be extraordinary. Therefore, Adrian felt a sense of obligation to assist Vardala, both morally and practically.Seeing Adrian’s firm stance, Vardala smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Adrian."Knowing that this matter wouldn't be easy, Adrian replied, "Vardala, it's still too early to thank me. Just hearing your story made me realize how challenging this task is. We need to consider our next steps carefully."Adrian was correct. Their adversaries were formidable. The strength of the rebels was unknown, but Adrian and his team were currently unequipped to face them. This was an uphill battle, and Adrian had to plan carefully.Despite his determination, Adrian knew this was not a situation where they could rush in blindly. He decided to set aside the matter a

Seeing Adrian appear, Vardala and the others breathed a sigh of relief. The individuals in the opposing group also turned their attention to him."Wow, you actually dared to show up!" the leader said in a stern voice.As Adrian observed the situation, he noticed that the opposing group had quite a substantial number of members. By his rough estimation, there were several hundred of them. This posed quite a challenge.However, Adrian wasn’t easily intimidated. Despite the circumstances, he still smiled as if he didn't take them seriously."If I’m not mistaken, we’re complete strangers. Since we have no grudges, why have you come looking for trouble?" Adrian asked flatly.The leader coldly snorted, "Whether you genuinely don't know or are just pretending doesn't matter. Your alchemy business in Summoner City has affected our trade.""Oh?" Adrian's brows furrowed. His group had indeed been making a living by making and selling pills, but he hadn't expected this to offend the other s

After thinking for a moment, the leader agreed. He then asked, "So, how do you propose we cooperate?""It's very simple. You use your advantages and I use mine. We help each other out to achieve mutual benefits. How does that sound?" Adrian suggested.The leader fell silent, and Adrian did not push the matter. At this point, he needed to give the other party some time to consider."All right, I agree," the leader finally said after thinking things through."That’s great to hear. I hope we’ll have a pleasant cooperation." Adrian extended his hand for a handshake.The leader was puzzled by the gesture, but Adrian just smiled and didn't make an issue out of it.Both parties then engaged in a series of negotiations. From their discussions, Adrian finally learned who the leader was—Fabio, a notable figure within Summoner City. With this cooperation, they formed a strong alliance....Several days later, Adrian’s group was gathered in a rainforest near Summoner City. They had heard r
