Just as Blade was about to lead a few men down to the hidden room, a silhouette rushed out from within.“Be careful!” Adrian shouted.The person down there was so quick that Blade could not react in time. Adrian quickly pulled Blade backward when he saw that the person was about to attack him. Then, the person came out of the hidden room, dressed in white and wearing a ponytail.The person had no plans of staying there for much longer and quickly dismantled the soldiers and beat them unconscious.“Bye-bye, my friends from Wyvern Peak.”The voice definitely belonged to a woman, and she instantly disappeared, followed by a cloud of smoke.“Get down!” Adrian said.Everyone’s first instinct upon hearing this was to lay low, while Adrian turned around to evade the incoming attack. An explosion happened right after, but nobody was hurt since the blast radius was small.As the smoke subsided, Blade angrily yelled, “F*ck! It was a woman! How dare she get in our way! I’m going to make h

“Y-You b*stard… You actually hit me. You…”Ivy’s mouth hung open as she found it difficult to breathe.Once she could breathe normally again, her face turned pale as she said, “Don’t you know you shouldn’t hit a woman in the stomach, you b*stard? I’ll never forgive you if you damage my uterus!”Adrian did not seem to be bothered by what she said as he reached out for the book. Ivy tightened her grip around it and took a few steps back to avoid his hand.“You’re no match for me, so give it up. Just give me the book and you can leave.”“In your dreams!”Ivy trembled as she struggled to stand up, but her face was filled with anger as she said, “You think I’d give you the book after you’ve hit me? Do you really think I’m going to let you stand there and bully me?”Adrian sent a huge slap across Ivy’s face the moment she said this, leaving the latter dumbfounded. She covered her face with one hand and seemed to be in a daze.Never in her life had she been beaten by a man. Yet, she w

Nobody interrupted him for even a second, and Adrian ended up engrossed with the book.“Nadine is going to die.”“Draco is going to go missing.”“Mya is going to leave Wyvern Peak.”“The ten battle warriors will die gruesome deaths.”“Millions of valiant soldiers from Dragon Peak shall rise up.”There were countless more prophecies and countless more insults.It was as if Hannibal was laughing at Wyvern Peak, or even cursing them. Or perhaps, he was trying to bring it up to greater heights. Regardless, the prophecies written in the book were not completely false.It was possible Hannibal had indeed come across some kind of unknown knowledge on seers when he wrote this book.At midnight the next day, Adrian sat in his seat and remained deep in thought for a very long time before he finally picked up a lighter and burned the book.The book eventually became a pile of ashes as it burned away.“Sir!”Mya suddenly knocked on the door at that moment and pushed the door open befor

“What do you mean?”Mya was extremely confused and urged Adrian to tell her more.“There’s no such thing as humans being able to predict the future. That’s not something that not even Jesus himself could do.”“I know that, and the only way to explain it is that Hannibal got lucky.”“Lucky? Do you have any idea how lucky he had to be to do what he did? There are heaps upon heaps of humans in the world, but he said Draco was going to become the legate of Wyvern Peak, and it really did come true. I’d say it’s too much of a farce to call that luck.”“What are you trying to say, sir?” Mya asked in surprise.Adrian remained silent for a moment before he looked up. He seemed rather stunned when he said, “Hannibal’s still alive.”“What?!”Mya stumbled a few steps back when she heard this. She looked at her surroundings before saying, “Are you joking, sir? Hannibal was alive when Wyvern Peak was founded by our ancestors, and he was already in his seventies at the time. It’s been more th

Rue and Joanna also had daggers pointed at them by Ivy’s subordinates, so none of them dared to make any sudden moves.Samantha and Joanna were already fast asleep, so neither of them could comprehend what was happening when these women suddenly barged into their rooms and captured them.“Stand back, all of you! Stand back, or the woman gets it!”Ivy was yelling angrily as her dagger dangerously pressed against Samantha’s neck when she saw the increasing number of soldiers around her. Samantha felt threatened by Ivy’s cold temperament that she did not dare make any sudden moves. There were beads of sweat forming on her forehead.Hearing this, the soldiers stopped and began to retreat. Blade then stepped forward and said, “You better treat her with a little more respect, woman. She’s carrying the legate’s child. I’ll cut you to shreds if anything bad happens to her or the baby!”“What?” Ivy was slightly taken aback and reached out to touch Samantha’s belly. With a smile, she said,
