Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 3021 - Bab 3030

Initially, Rufus had presented himself with composure, but Quintin discerned his true nature and elicited profound terror from him during their exchange. Conversely, Illya appeared equally frightened, yet Quintin detected a subtle difference in the former’s demeanor.The enigma lay in why Illya felt compelled to feign nervousness. Before long, Quintin unraveled the mystery. Illya deliberately projected an image of incompetence to divert attention from himself and prevent Rufus from feeling slighted. Upon this revelation, Quintin couldn't help but stifle a chuckle. Illya's strategic maneuver added an intriguing twist to the situation.'Ah, it appears Mr. Adrian was correct. Illya truly possesses talent,' Quintin mused inwardly.Despite being a commoner, Illya not only displayed fearlessness in Quintin's presence but also executed the pretense of fear with remarkable conviction. This suggested that Illya's cunning might surpass Quintin's initial estimation. It occurred to Quintin that

After meeting with Quintin, Adrian exited the lord's residence. As he strolled along the newly renovated streets, he observed that while most of the residents of Leafall appeared relatively relaxed, some still seemed quite worried. This was natural given the current period of turmoil; it would be odd if they weren't concerned about the future.Fortunately, Adrian rarely appeared in Leafall, and most of those who had seen him before had already passed away. Thus, he could now walk peacefully along the streets. Otherwise, his presence would surely cause people to flee at the mere sight of him.Adrian donned the training uniform of the Silverboa City Frontier Force, with a sword at his waist. Anyone who saw him would recognize that he was not to be underestimated. The residents of Leafall who knew him would undoubtedly be filled with fear, while those who didn't admire his unique demeanor and steal a few glances at him.These were undoubtedly the prevailing views of the vast majority,

As Hilary had anticipated, Sherri didn't feel offended; instead, she felt grateful yet embarrassed for forgetting something so important."Right! My birthday is coming up in a few days. Maybe you could find the time to come to my party?" Sherri asked.Adrian was taken aback. He couldn't quite grasp why Sherri wanted to invite him to her party, but he sensed her feelings for him. However, not wanting to hurt her feelings, he reluctantly agreed. "Okay, I'll come. Where's the venue?""It'll be at the Blazing Leaf, the best restaurant in Leafall!" Sherri exclaimed.In truth, they hadn't yet decided on a venue for her birthday party. After all, the event was still a few days away, and Sherri's family hadn't even begun planning. She simply didn't want to miss the opportunity and mentioned a location offhand.Adrian nodded, then turned to leave. As he departed, Sherri watched him go with a hint of disappointment. Meanwhile, Hilary chuckled softly. Leaning in close to Sherri, she whispere

If they followed Adrian, all the wealth and glory would mean nothing. Because staying by his side and continuing to wage war was itself a kind of honor. Moreover, as Adrian went further, their glory would only increase.*Several days later, Adrian wrapped up the brief special training session.On the final day, whether they were individuals like Talan, who had been part of the elite troops before, or newcomers like Roy and the others, everyone was filled with awe. Adrian's teachings were incredibly potent.Even though they hadn't engaged in practical combat training yet, they understood that these 300 individuals would wield formidable power once they entered the battlefield. In critical moments, they could even sway the outcome of battles involving hundreds of thousands.Adrian looked at them and nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left the street. This area had already been completely sealed off and become their private domain. Since they had seized this city, giving them a

Adrian's words were like divine decrees. Mortals dared not disobey the words of the gods!Ultimately, they were doing this all for a paycheck. To risk one's life for such a meager salary was foolish. This was truly a case of the cost outweighing the benefits.After hearing Adrian's words, the few security guards looked at each other and chose to remain silent unanimously.After passing through the guard posts of a few unperceptive security guards, Adrian entered the Blazing Leaf Restaurant.Leafall could only be considered a small city. It was quite inferior compared to the cities in Silverboa City, let alone Adrian's hometown. Although the population was large, various facilities were far behind. Thus, in Adrian's eyes, this top hotel in Leafall seemed a bit too ordinary.Fortunately, Adrian was not the kind of person who sought pleasure. He came out today just to relax himself.Upon entering the somewhat luxurious hotel lobby, he saw many people. They were all decently dressed,
