The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 136

Adrian made no further comment after he was done briefing them.

Mya recognized Suzy and Shiloh’s fighting skills, and it was Adrian’s first time showing such meticulous care to Adaline.

And the whole time, Adaline was at a loss for words.

Adrian assigned Suzy and Shiloh to stay while Mya made arrangements for other affairs.

Adrian found Samantha sitting on a bench on the field.

Noticing Adrian’s arrival, she stood up and said, “What did you say to Ada? Why won’t you let me listen?”

Adrian smiled and answered, “If you were there, she’d feel like you’re on her side. Hence, I sent you away so I could reprimand her properly.”

Samantha did not comment further because she knew that Adrian did it because he cared for Adaline.

They then left Swallowston University.

Upon arriving home, they found Rue growing restless.

She hastily ran to them when she spotted them. “Adrian, Sam, how’s everything? Is Ada okay?”

“Don’t worry, Mother. It’s been dealt with,” said Adrian while nodding. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Samantha said, “Everything’s fine, Mother. Ada’s fine now and she’s unharmed.”

Rue was relieved upon hearing that.

Adrian turned his head and said to Samantha, “Sam, you have New Paraiso’s opening ceremony tomorrow to prepare for. You should check if there’s anything else you need to handle. Do it now while you still have the time.”

Samantha nodded.

She called Riley and Elara to inquire about the preparations for tomorrow’s opening ceremony.

The list of the companies attending the ceremony had already been compiled. Nine Kings, the Battle Warrior Department, Swallowston Bank, and a few other companies would be in attendance.

Samantha made the decision to head back to the company so she could check if anything else needed her attention. She could not allow even the smallest margin for error in this matter.

Adrian was supposed to go with Samantha. However, he received a call from Daniel.

Daniel said through the phone, “Sir, we spoke about Luposlans entering Southrive previously. I just received the most updated news that they’ve entered Swallowston.”

Adrian furrowed his eyebrows. “Su soon? Do you know their destination?

Daniel replied, “I’m not too sure about that. The results acquired from the Battle Warrior Department’s investigation are that hundred and they’re here in Swallowston for the sole purpose of killing Battle Warrior Locas because he once annihilated fifty thousand Lupusian soldiers.

“We speculate that the Luposians are trying to wreak havoc in Swallowston to flush out Battle Warrior Lucas. However, it’s possible that they don’t know that you’re in Swallowston, sir.”

H

Lucas and the Luposians were bound by enmity. In fact, the Luposians loathed Lucas and wished that they could chop him up.

The Luposians‘ goal of entering Swallowston was clear.

Adrian said, “Is Lucas not in Swallowston right now?”

Daniel said, “No, sir. Lucas left Swallowston two days ago on a mission. How shall we proceed, sir?”

Adrian said straightforwardly, “Let’s not act rashly and alert the enemy. Just keep watching them for now. Find out how they entered Southrive.”

“Yes, sir.”

Samantha walked over as soon as Adrian hung up the phone and looked at him in puzzlement. “Who called you, Adrian?”

Adrian smiled and said, “Just an old friend. All right, let’s go.”

Samantha answered with a “hmm” and they set off to New Paraiso together.

Adrian and Samantha headed toward the company.
