The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 699

All the women glared at Adrian with their big, bright eyes as if they despised him.

Adrian walked into the room and made a “calm down” hand gesture as he said, “Ladies, please take a seat and listen to what I have to say.”

Upon hearing this, all the women spread out and sat everywhere including the bed, table, and wardrobe. They filled up the space and stared at him, their long legs swinging in the air.

Ivy said, “You by the name of Draco, free us or kill us. What’s the point of imprisoning us here? Are we supposed to be your pris?”

“Firstly, I’d like to emphasize that my name is not Draco. My name is Adrian. Adrian Xander,” he said as he looked toward Ivy.

The women gasped in surprise.

Adrian smiled and said, “I empathize with what happened to you, ladies. Hence, I’d like to befriend you, but you haven’t given me the chance to do so. Let’s discuss that today, all right? I’d like to offer you my support, and in exchange, you’ll work for me. What do you

think?!

“F*ck!” the wamen cussed collectively. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He was unbathered and continued smilingly, “You can set your mind at ease when you’re here because I don’t bully women. So

“You don’t bully women huh? You beat up Ivy to that extent yesterday, and yet you claim that you don’t bully women?” admonished one of the women angrily.

“Special circumstances require special treatment,” Adrian said in a serious manner.

“you’re not a good man!” a few women taunted him.

The santle on Adrian’s face remained. He beckoned them to keep quiet then said, “We can resolve the misunderstandings between us today. However, you should eat before we do that. Look at you. I’m sure you’re all starving.”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands together. Blade led a few other people into the room. They were carrying trays of food. They placed the serving trays on the table.

Blade said, “Ladies, we took special care in preparing this meal for you. It’s very nourishing to one’s body. Even the legate can’t bear to enjoy such a high–quality meal on usual days.

“God knows if the food is poisoned,” Eira sald.

“Why you…”

Blade was so furious that he wanted to hit someone while Eira glared at him menacingly. He decidedly pulled back his fist and

backed out of the roun.

Adrian clapped and said smilingly, “All right, ladies. Eat. And when you’re done, I have a surprise for you, Eira Would you like that?”

Eira was stunned and asked, “What’s the surprise? Are you going to suck up to me by showering me with lavish gifts? I’ll have you know that we won’t be alive for much longer, Adrian. We’ll die if we leave

this place, so if you don’t say the proper words today, we won’t let you go.”

Ivy, Eira, and the other women were captured after falling a mission so they were doomed once they left Battle Warrior Tower. The few women were well aware of this.

Upon hearing Eira’s words, Adrian smiled and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll speak sommer or later. However, the surprise that 1 have for you is something that you’d never imagine, Eira I’ll only tell you what it is after you eat.

“All right, eat up. You’ve been starving for at least a day now, so it’s time la eal,”

The women looked at the food laid on the table and gulped. After all, no one in this world could possibly ignore the sight and

smell of food. However, they did not dare to move without Ivy’s order.

Adrian looked toward Ivy and said, “You’re their leader, Can you bear to see your sisters starve? Even if you have to die, wouldn’t you rather die with a full belly? I heard that people who die starving look ugly.”

Tvy pouted. She tumed her head and looked at her sisters who were visibly tempted by the food. Hence, she said, “Eat, everyone. Let’s fill our bellies first and we discuss everything else later. We need strength, so we must eat.”

Upon hearing her remark, the women quickly filed toward the table. They picked up their cutlery and ate their meals standing. The joy on their faces were evident, perhaps due to the prolonged starvation.
