บททั้งหมดของ The Return of the War Legate: บทที่ 461 - บทที่ 470

Tanner tried to leave but a dagger was suddenly pressed against his neck before he could do so.“Nobody is leaving this place without the legate’s permission. Anyone who tries will be executed.”Tanner trembled profusely but tried to put on a strong front as he retreated. He was surrounded, his text messages blocked, and his orders unable to be dispatched. The only thing he could do now was to wait and pray that his men down there would be able to kill the legate. Otherwise, he was in for a whole lot of trouble.Seeing this, Daniel could not stop himself from letting out a laugh and said, “I get the feeling that you’re treating us locals like idiots, Mr. Tanner. Anyway, today is a good opportunity to show you just how powerful our legate is.”Tanner pretended to not understand what Daniel was saying and sounded a lot friendlier as he said, “General Daniel, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between us? Since the legate is here, why don

Maybe they decided to change their strategy.Twenty minutes later, the trio left the tunnel and arrived at a brightly lit cavern. It was revealed to be a huge underground hub with many rooms leading off of it. There were all kinds of stuff inside the hub, including daily necessities, food, and weapons.It was clear that this place had constantly been inhabited, with a lot of tenants no less.Adrian stopped and signaled for Vivian and Bram to stay back. ‘It’s too quiet here… Something is off.’“You two stay here and wait for me.” Adrian walked into the hub and climbed on top of some crates to scan the area.Vivian whispered, “Be careful, Adrian! There might be people around the area!”Bram held his breath as well.At that moment, the door of the surrounding rooms got kicked down, followed by countless gunshots as men showed up one after the other. All of the gunfire was aimed in Adrian’s direction in a net formation.Without a moment’s hesitation, Adrian jumped off the crates an

Daniel’s subordinates quickly got to work.Soon after, an unprecedented chase began. The whole of Swallowston was on guard and every person was strictly vetted before being allowed to enter or leave the city.The Luposians hiding in Swallowston started to panic as the Battle Warrior Department’s personnel showed up on the streets to pursue them one by one.Havoc reigned over all of Swallowston that night.***Over at SK, Adrian stepped out of Scorpio Hub with Vivian and Bram. Soon afterward, the place was sealed off and Daniel’s subordinates were dispatched to clean it up. SK was always shut down and would not be opening its doors any time soon.A stretcher was brought over. Adrian placed Bram on it, held his hand, and said, “Brother, go to the hospital and recuperate in peace. Thank you so much for what you did today.”Bram waved at Adrian and said, “Sir, please don’t forget about me. Remember that I gave my life for Wyvern Peak.”Vivian was amused by Bram’s statement.Then,

Adrian said, “I’ve always acted deceitfully in the face of an enemy army. You should know this very well. Hence, my words may not necessarily be trustable.”“You…”Byron’s entire body was shaking from anger. Adrian smiled at him, but in his eyes, Adrian’s smile looked like the smile of the devil.Then, Adrian shifted his gaze to Tanner and said, “How about you, Tanner? I’d like to know if you were pleasantly surprised. Did I catch you off guard?”Tanner’s face was drenched in sweat. Large droplets dripped onto the floor. He would be lying if he said he was not scared.No one would be able to remain calm in the face of death.However, Tanner suppressed his fear with great effort and answered, “Sir, I don’t know if I made a mistake at some point but I’ve always been very cautious over the years. How did you find out about this?”Adrian sipped his coffee and shook his head. “I haven’t been in Swallowston over the past few years.”Tanner broke down upon hearing this revelation. He

She admonished, “Sam, can you please not paint everyone with the same brush? I am. I am one of them!”Samantha hastily corrected herself, “Oh, right, right. There’s only one out of ten women who are like Joanna. It will be very difficult to find one.”Joanna shrugged and said, “However, I don’t like chubby men. I like men like Adrian who have stubble on their face, are mature, handsome, and also good at uplifting women.”Adrian silently glared at Joanna.Samantha asked him, “How about it? Should I bring it up with Mitty? It doesn’t matter if they end up not liking each other, but what if they do hit it off?”“All right, I’ll meet with him later while you go to the company and seek out this woman’s opinion. I’ll get them a gift as a blessing if the set-up is a success,” Adrian said.“What will you give them as a gift?” Samantha was puzzled.“A thirty-thousand-dollar car. Bram helped me a great deal, after all. He’s quite courageous and is very dependable.”Samantha considered fo
