The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 118

Adrian picked up the call. “Yes?”

“Sir, we spotted some Luposians in Southrive today. I secretly looked into them and I speculate that they’re assassins sent by Luposia,” said Daniel.

“How many?” asked Adrian.

Daniel said, “As of this moment, I’m not too sure. I’m still investigating. Lucas won’t be in Swallowston for the next two days so my advice is to keep a close watch over your wife, sir.”

Luposia had always been hostile against Navia. They had lost quite many people in the incessant wars over the past two years. It was highly plausible that they would send assassins to Southrive.

As for their motive, Daniel was still trying to figure out if they were sent to assassinate Adrian or Lucas.

Adrian said, “Noted. Continue your investigation and notify me immediately if there are any updates.”

“Yes, sir.” Daniel hung up the call upon saying that.

Meanwhile, Samantha walked out of the bathroom wearing a pale blue–colored nightgown and asked in puzzlement, “Who were you talking to on the phone? What do you mean ‘notify you immediately if there are any updates?”

“What do you mean?”

Adrian was startled by Samantha’s sudden questioning and hastily answered, “A friend of mine told me there will be a raffle event happening in a newly–opened mall near South Street. I told him to notify me immediately when the mall opens.”

Samantha paid little attention to his explanation and said, “Okay, it’s getting late. I’m going to bed. You should too.”

Adrian nodded

Samantha was kept busy over the next few days.

She began searching for a location for the new company and was joined by Elara and the others. In the end, she chose to set up the company near Swallowston’s South Business Street. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

This place used to be an electronic company but it had already gone out of business. The building was up

for lease.

Samantha discussed this with Elara and the rest before they decided on this location.

Soon after, Samantha, Elara, and the others went their separate ways to begin the renovation process.

Samantha was tasked with the company’s business registration.

Riley received a call from Samantha to check on the company’s location and Riley gave some opinions

on the renovation.

Within a few short days, Samantha’s company was registered and the company was officially named New Paralso.”

Samantha was so occupied the last few days that she did not even have the time to eat.

She was busy with the company’s affairs and Adrian could not offer much help. Hence, he spent the next few days monitoring the construction workers on the renovation works.

On the afternoon of the third day, Mandy sent over a set of perfect office tables, chairs, sofas, lighting, and other office necessities from Swallowston Bank. This saved Samantha a huge chunk in expenditures.

She was extremely grateful for Mandy’s help.

Meanwhile, on the same afternoon, Samantha was in a meeting with Elara, Riley, and the others in New Paraiso when all of a sudden, a Porsche SUV drove into the company’s compound with a few trucks in tow. This drew Samantha’s attention.

She quickly headed downstairs and arrived at the ground level of the building.

The door of the Porsche opened and a few middle–aged men got out of the car..

“Ms. Samantha,” greeted the leading middle–aged man as he smiled at her.

“Sorry, but may I know who you gentlemen are?” Samantha asked in puzzlement.

The middle–aged man said, “We’re from Nine Kings. Our employer, Mr. Liam, heard that you’re opening at new company so he has sent over two thousand computers, Ms. Samantha

“Please sign to acknowledge the receipt so we can inform him of the successful delivery when we get back.”
