Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 601 - Bab 610

Adrian’s words struck Felix’s heart like a ferocious and relentless blade.The Gardners were all in shock, and Nadine’s face turned bright red as she pinched Adrian’s waist.The Gardners began to hurl their comments.“I never knew you were such a sl*t, Naddy.”“How great could this man possibly be for you to give yourself to him?”“You were Southrive’s goddess!”The Gardners all looked at Nadine as if she was a cheap woman, while Felix’s expression was absolutely hideous. He had dreamt of sleeping with her, but that was now going to remain a dream forever. On top of that, no sane person could withstand the thought of the one they love sleeping with another.Louis spat on the floor and said, “I’m appalled, Naddy. I wasn’t expecting such behavior from you. You’d seem so cool and distant most of the time, yet you’ve actually given yourself to a man like him?”Nadine was thoroughly enraged by Louis’ remark. She extricated herself from Adrian’s arms and said, “Shut up! All of you! M

After kicking up all that fuss, Louis and Felix had nothing to show for it.Originally, Adrian planned to stay in the old man’s courtyard for a while longer, but that plan was ruined. He had no choice but to leave with Nadine for the time being. He let go of Nadine’s waist once they were out of the rear courtyard. She grew displeased the moment he retracted his arm.“Why are you letting go?”Adrian looked down, shot her a glare, and pushed her away. After that, he walked off into the distance. Nadine stamped her foot angrily and gritted her teeth as she stared at him. With a cold snort, she said, “Fine! I will make you mine one of these days. Just wait and see.“Hmph!” She then caught up with Adrian and they strolled around the rest of the estate until the sky turned dark.Adrian paid Nadine zero attention. He focused solely on coming up with a plan to enter the old man’s residence and have a look around.The sky had turned completely dark by the time Adrian and Nadine arri

Adrian hung up the phone and looked at Nadine, who was squatting in front of him.She was biting her lip, seeming both anxious and impatient.“Did you find anything?” Nadine asked.This was important to her because she wanted to know what kind of man her father had been. She might even turn out to be the daughter of a Wyvern Peak legate. If this proved true, her whole identity would change.Adrian patted her shoulder and said, “I’ve asked someone to look into it, but I’m afraid it’ll take some time.”Nadine fell silent and sat with her lips pursed. After a while, she said to Adrian, “What do you think I should do if my father really is War Legate Achelous?”Adrian thought this was laughable and said, “What can you do? Just let it slide. However, if he really is the legate, your identity will be completely different from what it is now. You will go from being an ordinary girl to a goddess.”“Please, I’ve always been a goddess. I may be a bit up there in age, but my looks and phys

Adrian continued, “When I saw your father’s photo and compared it against War Legate Achelous’ statue, I thought they looked similar. With everything said, I suddenly feel that behind your mother’s mask lies a temperament befitting a legate’s wife, plus this veteran I’m talking about has been by her side this whole time. Only this time, she was the one who called him over.”“What’s Mother planning to do?” Nadine asked.“It’s simple, really. If I’m correct, your mother already knows who I am but is putting on an act.”“What?” Nadine was so shocked her legs gave way. “Are you saying that she knows you’re War Legate Draco? Why would she play along with our act then?”Adrian smiled, “There’s only one answer, and that is because your father was War Legate Achelous and she’s his wife. On top of that, she knows why we’re here and is keeping a close eye on us.”“No, no… No… You can’t be right.” Nadine waved her hands desperately. “What’s the big idea with this drugged chicken soup then?”

The main control room of the Gardner residence was in chaos as everyone on duty scrambled to shut down the virus. This was not something that could be resolved within minutes.Meanwhile, the lights in the courtyard dimmed, leaving behind only lights powered by solar panels. As Adrian and Nadine headed for the rear court, Daniel’s voice came from Adrian’s communicator.“Sir, their surveillance systems are down. But we can’t keep this up for too long, or Internal Affairs might catch on to us. You have half an hour before we have to make a full retreat and erase all our traces.”“Got it.”Adrian took off his communicator and turned toward Nadine. She shot him a glare and said, “Well done, *sshole. You managed to plant a virus in my home all the way from Azure Creek. Wyvern Peak will be held fully responsible if you’re caught.”“You talk too much,” Adrian said, causing Nadine to grunt at him.“There will be guards at the rear court, so how are you planning on getting in?”“I’ll bust
