Semua Bab The Return of the War Legate: Bab 771 - Bab 780

“We will, don’t worry. By the way, how do you plan on dealing with Emily? I just visited her at the hospital this morning, and she’s almost fully recovered now.”“Bring her here to live with you.”“Understood,” Ivy said nothing more after that.Samantha exited the bedroom shortly after that, dragging a suitcase behind her.“All packed, dear. When are we leaving?”Adrian got up. “Let’s leave right away. We’re picking someone up at Southrive and will head for Southrive Airport early tomorrow morning.”Samantha nodded.Adrian said, “We’re leaving now, Mother. Take care of yourself.”After that, he turned toward Ivy and added, “I’m leaving this place in your hands.”“Don’t worry, I’ll be sure not to disappoint you. Safe travels, and come back soon!”Adrian smiled and picked up the suitcase before they both left.As Ivy and Rue watched them leave, Samantha turned around and said, “Oh, Ivy, could you please help me tell Jojo that we had to leave in a hurry and couldn’t inform her

In truth, he was hiding deep within Mount Pallor.“Are you saying Reagan’s in Mount Pallor? Why would you want to see him?” Samantha seemed extremely surprised.The people did not know much about Reagan, but he had been a mature man who was in his forties at the time. Over the years, Internal Affairs had erased almost all information about him.Mya smiled. “Don’t you get it, Sam? Reagan’s Adrian’s ace in the hole. The only thing he can do now is to help Reagan rise to the top.”Samantha shot a glare at Adrian. “Didn’t you say you aren’t going to get involved anymore? Why do you want to start now? Have you not had enough of the world insulting and cursing you?”It was evident that Wyvern Peak had been overthrown after the incident at Windton. Hence, Samantha was slightly furious that Adrian was still trying to get involved with the matter.Noticing her anger, Adrian said, “This isn’t what you think, sweetheart. I suppose you could say Reagan’s a friend of mine. I came here to meet

As the trio walked away, Elsa led Ayden and the others down the mountain road and into the forest.Before they left, Adrian heard a few of the young men cursing at how a fine woman had been wasted on him. He paid them no attention and said, “Reagan lives in a wooden hut not too far from here. We’ll be there after a short walk. Let me carry you there, sweetheart.”“That’s—”However, Adrian already picked her up before she could even finish.Feeling helpless, Samantha wrapped her arms around Adrian’s neck.Meanwhile, Mya said, “I’m so jealous of you, Sam.”Samantha smiled, while Adrian ignored her.The reason they did not leave Samantha at the hotel was that Adrian could not rest easy with her out of his sight. To him, Samantha would be safest by his side.Adrian carried Samantha for more than an hour.It was two in the afternoon when they arrived at a wooden hut in the forest. It had three entrances to the east, south, and west and a little fenced courtyard. There were turkeys,

“I see. It’s really you, rookie! What’s your codename?”“Draco.”“I see. Draco, huh? It’s been six years since we last met. You’ve changed so much. Looks like you’ve grown a lot,” Reagan said.Adrian smiled, while Reagan quickly said, “Wait here a moment.”He got up and headed inside the hut. He then brought out two kegs of alcohol.“Nobody’s been here since you left after recovering from your wounds, rookie. Now that you’re here, how about a sip of my special brew? Here!”Reagan poured out a large mug of alcohol and passed it to Adrian, who clinked mugs with him before downing it completely.“Excellent!” Reagan laughed and tore off the boar’s hind for Adrian. “Now then, rookie. Tell me everything that has happened over the past few years. I’ve been living in this hut for so long that I can feel myself close to becoming a barbarian!“Tell me. Where’s Achelous now? Why hasn’t he come to visit me yet?”Reagan and Achelous were blood brothers, but Reagan left the city after losin

“No!”Reagan shook his head. “You can’t just sit back and do nothing, Draco. You do realize that there’s a chance these people may be in control of Dragon Peak if the Eight Hollows have revealed themselves. When that happens, the world will be in chaos. Are you really able to watch as countless lives are lost and their blood spill all over our lands by not having Wyvern Peak take action?”“I’ve done what I should and everything I could. I don’t belong to anyone from now on, nor does anyone own me.“Cheers!” Adrian smiled and held up his mug before clinking it with Reagan’s. After that, he downed his drink once more.Helpless, Reagan heaved a sigh and said, “We live in such a cold world. Everyone’s willing to follow the person who wants them dead but refuses to listen to the one who’s capable of protecting them. The world’s becoming more and more realistic by the day.”Samantha looked up at Reagan all of a sudden. “Mr. Reagan, the only ones in the world who’d protect you with their
