All Chapters of The Return of the War Legate: Chapter 3181 - Chapter 3190

Thobias' hand trembled as he turned to his son, gesturing for him to open the door. Kevin was trembling all over, unaware of what had happened outside. But under his father's intimidating gaze, he had no choice but to comply. As he tremblingly opened the door, the sight before him almost made him vomit his dinner.An old man sat between the two bodies on the floor, a dagger dripping with blood in his hand. A deep wound on his neck gushed blood like boiling water.Patio and another merchant were already dead, but the old man named Moran was barely alive. "Do you know why you two weren't killed?" He looked at Thobias and Kevin.Thobias tentatively asked, "Because we are still useful to Celestria?"The old man smiled. "Because you don't know the exact location of our organization."Kevin frowned, glancing at his father subconsciously. The guilt on his father's face made Moran's dying face turn pale.Moran widened his eyes and struggled to get up, probably wanting to continue killing

Adrian had sent the guard in to report just to test the waters. With the current critical situation, gaining entry to the Governor’s Mansion wouldn't be easy."What should we do now?" Lillian asked, but Adrian responded with silence. He had no other viable options at the moment. They could force their way in, which was not out of the question, but it would result in casualties. Stirring up trouble with the Stormwatch Legion in a crucial location like Cras Island would only complicate matters further. It wouldn't just be about rescuing Rozi; it would escalate into more complex issues.‘We're too distant from the Stormwatchers, and Ines is even less useful now. Do we have to find a way to sneak in?’ Adrian pondered.Meanwhile, in the Governor’s Mansion, three people sat in the reception hall engaged in conversation: Thobias, Kevin, and Gaius."Hahaha. We owe you thanks for this, Mr. Gaius. Otherwise, my son and I would be in a bind." Thobias chuckled, offering praise to the big-beard

Gaius wasn't afraid because everyone knew the only ones the Remingtons could rely on were the army under his command. Without him, they were doomed.When Gaius signaled he wanted to leave, Thobias hastily stood up to stop him.Gaius questioned, "What's the matter? Are you trying to force me to stay, Lord Thobias?"Thobias assured him, "No, not at all. We don't have immediate benefits at hand, but..."Greed flickered in Gaius' eyes. "But what?"Thobias hesitated slightly. "But the Celestrians provide us with over a billion gold every year..."Upon hearing this, Gaius frowned deeply. "Where has all that money gone?"Thobias grimaced. Over the years, the money collected by the Governor's Mansion had been spent on various matters. After sorting out the relationships in Cras Island and several surrounding counties, they also provided the Celestrians with a hidden residence on Cras Island. Nearly all the money had been depleted.Thobias believed that once the Celestrians got a footho

Gaius and the Remingtons were discussing when Adrian might depart and brainstorming methods to encourage his departure when someone abruptly barged in, claiming they had urgent news."What's your business here?" Gaius, engrossed in thoughts of future prosperity with the Celestrians, was visibly annoyed by the interruption."Sir, that young man has reappeared. This time, he presented us with a token.""A token? What kind of token?" Gaius was intrigued, as were Kevin and Thobias, who exchanged a glance."The token is black, adorned with unusual patterns, including a coiled dragon..."Thobias frowned. Neither he, Kevin, nor Gaius recognized the significance of the token."Lord Tobias, do you have any knowledge of this token?" Sensing potential importance, Gaius turned to Thobias for insight.Thobias responded without hesitation, shaking his head and smiling slightly. "What significant possession could someone like that have? It's likely just a token from the Frontier Force, unrelat

Gaius eyed Thobias suspiciously, but the latter remained tight-lipped, refusing to divulge anything. Gaius sensed Thobias' reticence and understood that he held crucial information but chose to keep it hidden. Thoughts raced through Gaius' mind. What significance could that token hold?Meanwhile, Thobias contemplated the potential repercussions if Adrian indeed mobilized the Frontier Force. However, revealing the token's true origin to Gaius was out of the question. Having observed Gaius for some time, he had discerned the former’s true nature. Despite his outward bravado, Gaius was fundamentally timid. In the event of a conflict involving the Frontier Force, Thobias believed Gaius would cower in submission.In Silverboa, the Stormwatch Legion and the Frontier Force occupied distinct circles, with the latter commanding greater strength and prestige. In any confrontation, it would be the Stormwatch Legion that suffered. Thus, Gaius harbored no desire for conflict with the Frontier For
