The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 711

These were women who had been living in the shadows for a long time, so it made sense they would be extra sensitive to anything or anyone outside of their lives.

They did not need to be moved, nor did they need anyone’s trust.

What they needed was to stay alive.

The reason why Eira questioned Ivy was that she and the others did not understand Adrian’s ways. In fact, they did not even hold any high hopes for him.

They were only staying with him as a means to their survival.

“Eira’s right, Ivy. Draco’s clearly a bad person to have around. Who knows what will happen to us if we stay here,” one of the other women said with her lips pursed.

“We’re all displeased with Draco, plus, we don’t even know what Wyvern Peak wants.”

“I mean, are we supposed to help him if Wyvern Peak wants us to clean up Internal Affairs and overthrow the emperor?”

The women began making wild assumptions, causing Ivy to sigh helplessly. “I know you all have your grievances, but we’re completely out of options now. Louisa’s dead, and I don’t want to see any more of you get hurt. Of course, we have to be wary around Draco. We’ll leave if we get the chance, but for now, we should lay low.”

The other women remained silent, but one of them looked up with her reddened eyes and said, “I miss home, Ivy… My parents may not be alive, but I still wish I could go home.”

Ivy held the woman’s hands. “Don’t worry, Nyssa. I’m sure we’ll get that chance. It won’t be long before we all get to go home. Trust me.”

Nyssa nodded.

Soon, Eira and the others realized that Adrian’s car had stopped at the edge of Swallowston’s city area. The outskirts were extremely quiet since it was midnight, with only street lamps lighting up the place. They would be leaving the city if they continued to move onwards, where there were tall mountains ahead.

“Stop the car. I think we’re here. I don’t know why Draco brought us here though,” Ivy said when she saw this.

The SUVS gradually came to a halt, and Ivy led the other women over toward Adrian. Meanwhile, he and Mya walked out of the city toward the ountains. Ivy and the others followed them with confused looks on their faces.

Eira frowned, “Why has he brought us here, Ivy? What are we supposed to do here so late at night?”

Ivy shook her. “In any case, we should all be careful.”

Half an hour later, Eira and the others entered the mountains and stopped at the final stop atop the mountains. From there, they could see the streets below. It was extremely quiet up here, and everything seemed to be bathed in moonlight. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Adrian sat down on a boulder and looked into the distance, while Ivy and the rest continued to look at him, extremely confused. They looked in the direction Adrian was looking toward before Ivy asked, “What are we doing here so late at night? Surely we’re not here to admire the scenery, are we? What sort of scenery is there to look at so late at night anyway?”

Mya replied, “Just wait and see for yourselves.”

As she spoke, Mya looked at her watch. “It’s almost time, sir. They should be here by now.”

Adrian nodded when he heard this.

At that moment, a car drove through the quiet streets at speeds. It was heading toward Southrive from Swallowston.

Eira, Ivy, and the others looked at the car in confusion when suddenly…

Boom!
