Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 661 - Bab 670

After a whole night of sleep, Adrian had breakfast and headed to the Battle Warrior headquarters in Swallowston.As soon as Adrian arrived downstairs at the department, he saw Shirley anxiously waiting for him.The moment Shirley saw Adrian approaching, she hurried over and said, “Adrian, you're here! I've been waiting for you for so long.”Shirley and her mother, Christina, had moved from Southeast to Swallowston and were temporarily staying at the department, courtesy of Adrian.Last night, Shirley heard that Adrian had managed to apprehend Kayn, which was why she was waiting for Adrian this morning.“What's up?” Adrian asked her.Shirley bit her lip and grabbed Adrian's arm, saying, “I heard that you found Kayn. I’d like to see him. Is that okay? I mean, he's my father, after all.”Adrian took a moment to think before answering Shirley’s question. He shook his head and said, “I can’t let you see him yet.”“Why not?” Shirley said, dissatisfied. “He’s my father. Why can’t I se

“The future?”Kayn heaved a sigh of relief and seemed to relax a little. With a smile, he said, “Surely there’s no need for all this if talking about the future’s all you want, sir. I was able to predict you becoming the legate more than a decade ago, which means I’m able to predict your future now. However, you’re aware this is a secret, aren’t you?“I lost my legs because of that first secret I leaked to you.”Kayn patted his phantom legs as he spoke.Seeing this, Adrian said, “You’ve mentioned multiple times how you’re able to predict my future. But the question now is are you able to predict your own future?”Kayn was slightly startled, clearly not expecting Adrian to ask that. He pondered for a long time as though he did not have an answer.“That’s a very good question, sir. In fact, I have predicted my own future not too long ago. However, I can’t tell you what I surmised.”Kayn wanted to maintain his air of mystery for Adrian to believe that he did indeed possess powers.

Kayn trembled. The development of his situation had clearly exceeded his imagination.He was now able to tell that Adrian was suspicious of him, but he had never even considered the possibility of all that happening. In his mind, Heroes of Wyvern Peak was supposed to be untraceable, so he wondered how Adrian found out about it.While Kayn took a deep breath, Adrian tapped the table with his index finger, waiting for a response.After a long while, Kayn said, “I wasn’t expecting you to be this smart, sir. I thought you would think of me as a benefactor after I showed up in front of you last time. I wasn't expecting you to suspect me."Adrian's expression remained calm and did not answer.Meanwhile, Mya said, “The legate is a man of principles and has never believed in unscientific stuff like being able to predict the future. So, do you regret your actions now? All you’ve done in your life is make mistake after mistake. I bet you weren’t expecting the legate to look into your backgr

Upon hearing Adrian's words, Kayn looked up and struggled to find the words.The living room was quiet as everyone waited for him to speak.After a while, Shirley urged him, “Go on? What are you waiting for?”Kayn stopped keeping everyone in suspense and lowered his head as he said, “Sir, I was indeed the one who gave Chase’s father that book. It was also me who leaked the information to Chase. It was all my doing.”Upon hearing this, Shirley widened her eyes in disbelief.Adrian had already suspected as much, so he was not surprised.Mya asked, “I know that you know full well what you’ve been doing, so why did you do it?”“Because Wyvern Peak killed my lover,” Kayn replied.“We killed your lover?”Kayn nodded, while Shirley furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Is this the lover Mother mentioned before?”Kayn did not refute and said, “Yes, that’s her. She died in the hands of those from Wyvern Peak, so I wanted to avenge her.”“Do you know how many deaths you’ve caused out of y

Kayn lowered his head and said nothing.Christina was so angry that she wanted to go up and slap him. However, Adrian stepped in and said, “Stand back, Christina. I still have some questions for him.”After Christina stepped back as she was told, Adrian continued, “That time more than a decade ago when you first saw me at St. Elmer’s Church… Why did you tell my father what you said?”Kayn recalled and shook his head. “I was researching the book from behind the scenes and you just so happen to come up during my investigations. Everything I said to your father at the time was based on the prophecy, but I never thought it’d be referring to you.”“Did you intentionally try to meet me a few days ago?” Adrian asked.“You could say that. I was broke and went to Charles’ church to seek help. I unexpectedly met you there again. That’s when I thought I’d try to show off a little. I wasn’t expecting for you to be so cautious that you'd start investigating me because of the things I said,” Ka
