The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 147

Adrian said, “Grandmother, Father, it’s been seven years since I last visited. I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. Too many things have happened ever since you two left.”

Too many unexpected things had happened to Adrian over the past seven years, and now that he was. able to see the people he wanted, they were no longer around.

Adrian reminisced about the past and felt nostalgic. Yet, unfortunately, those times would never return.

He recalled how his father was a kind–hearted man who always taught him to be a normal man when he

grew up.

Adrian shook his head and smiled when he thought about this. “Father, I remember how you always told me to be a man who contributed to society when I was little.

“Well, I’ve come here today to tell you that I’ve done it.”

With a smile, Adrian took out a medallion and five rings from his pocket. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The medallion had the words “War Legate” carved onto it.

“This is the War Legate Medallion, the most powerful item in all of Navia. With this, I’m able to

o command the ten most powerful battle warriors and millions of soldiers. Over the past seven years, I’ve obtained five War Legate Rings.

“These rings represent the utmost honor a man could achieve. It’s said that the holder of these five rings shall be known as invincible for as long as they live.

“So, now that your son is the mighty war legate with five rings and can command the ten most powerful battle warriors… Are you proud of me?”

Adrian smiled, placing one of the rings before Henry’s grave.

“Honestly, this honor means nothing to me. My greatest wish right now is to see you standing in front of me. Then, you’ll pat my shoulder and tell me how proud you are to be my father.”

At that moment, Adrian revealed a helpless smile and fell silent for a moment.

He then turned toward Layla’s grave and said, “Grandmother, perhaps the one and only mistake you made throughout your entire life was marrying Harold. This was the very choice that ended up ruining your life.

“Even so, I remember you telling me you had no regrets because you had us.

“To tell you the truth, I’m glad you aren’t here to see the Xanders‘ fall. Still, Harold, who lost you, won’t last much longer. Watch over him from up there.”

While Adrian was at the cemetery, New Paraiso’s official opening was about to begin, and there was a huge turnout.

Many major companies throughout Swallowston were there to congratulate the company on its opening.

Among them, Mandy from Swallowston Bank and Liam from Nine Kings had brought a number of their friends

In truth, there were a few who came to congratulate Samantha just because they wanted to get closer to Liam and Mandy, hence why New Paraiso had become the most crowded place today.

As its founder, Samantha, along with Riley and Elara, personally, welcomed everyone who was there to

congratulate New Paraiso’s opening.

“Ms. Samantha, I’m from the Biocause Group. Congratulations on your company’s opening.”

“Ms. Samantha, I’m from the Eastside Group. Congratulations.”

Many more people were continuously arriving at New Paraiso’s main hall. All smiles, Samantha welcomed each and every one of them. “Thank you, everyone. Thank you for coming to our opening event. We’re very grateful to each and every one of you!”

The people who had been welcomed into the main hall grouped up and chatted away with one another.

Samantha picked up a glass of red wine and headed in Mandy’s direction, who was chatting with Liam and a few of Swallowston’s big shots.

“Mandy, I really must thank you for New Paraiso being able to open today. Cheers!”

Mandy stood up and smiled at Samantha. “You’re most welcome, Sam.”

After they clinked glasses, Samantha turned to Liam and said, “Mr. Liam, we’re very thankful for the computers you’ve donated. Cheers!”

After that; Samantha went around toasting a number of other people at the scene.

At that moment, Mandy asked, “By the way, Sam. Didn’t you say the Battle Warrior Department will be here? It’s almost three now, so why isn’t General Daniel here yet?”

“Perhaps he’s busy with work, so my guess is that someone else might be replacing him. They should be here soon.”

Mandy nodded and said nothing.

Suddenly, while the crowd was celebrating, some uninvited guests showed up before the people from the Battle Warrior Department did.
