The elders nodded upon hearing Adrian’s orders.The current situation was confusing, and Wyvern Peak could only investigate the situation after eliminating Chase and gaining full authority. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to do anything with Internal Affairs obstructing their way.The tenth elder said, “In view of the current situation, we should prioritize Internal Affairs’ Chase. We elders will investigate the Eight Hollows while you eliminate Chase as soon as possible, Draco.”The first elder said, “Looks like that that's the only way now. However, your two-year term of being the legate is almost up, Draco. Wyvern Peak has already been dissolved now, so there’s no way to choose a new one. We have discussed it and decided to extend your term to four years according to our usual practice.”In the past, the next generation’s war legate was chosen through various tryouts. However, the tryouts could not be held in Wyvern Peak for the time being so the election of a new war

Adrian and Juno chatted for a while more before Juno returned to her dorm to rest.The next day, Adrian did not plan to stay any longer in Azure Creek and so parted ways with Lucas and the rest. Before he left Azure Creek, he ordered Lucas, Raquel, and the others to return to Swallowston while he departed from Azure Creek to Windton.After briefing Lucas and the others, Adrian said, “Go back and tell Mya that I will meet her in Windton two days from now.”Lucas nodded. “All right, we shall part ways here. There are some of our people at Windton too.”Adrian did not comment further and got into the car. However, he remembered someone and asked, “Oh right, Lucas. Where’s Barry?”Lucas answered, “I sent the lad back to Swallowston. He’s there currently.”“Okay. See you later.”Upon saying that, Adrian drove away.After watching him depart, Lucas turned around to look at the others. “We should head to Swallowston now that the legate has left. I heard that there are a few Bloody Ros

Phoebe could not refrain herself from complimenting War Legate Draco because it was her first time meeting him.Adrian was not bothered by this. Blaze and he began sipping coffee.Blaze said, “Sir, there are ten houses in Windton comprised of Easter House, Vega House, Cook, King, Westfall, Dunn, and others. Eighty-five percent of the people in this city have these last names and Chase’s spies are everywhere here. It won’t be easy to conduct an investigation here.”This was precisely the mischief that Chase was up to in secret.The people from the ten houses made up eighty-five percent of the city’s total population and the ten houses followed Chase’s leadership. If he grows powerful here, it would have a significant impact on the country.One could say that Chase was the wealthiest man in the country and that he had no lack of money.Adrian took a sip of coffee and looked at Blaze. “How many comrades do we have in Windton?”“Four to five thousand,” answered Blaze.When Wyvern P

Alan jumped up from the sofa upon receiving the text and called out to his sister who was in her room. “Elaine, I’m heading out!”Elaine walked out of her room and asked, “Where are you going?”“Blaze invited me out for a drink,” answered Alan.Elaine stamped her foot in rage upon hearing this. She said to Alan, “Will you please make some normal friends? You should stay away from Wyvern Peak’s members. Don’t associate with them because it’s not good for you!”Elaine did not have a favorable impression of Wyvern Peak because she was born into Cook house. She heard from her grandfather that Wyvern Peak was their enemy. Hence, she had always felt unsettled about Alan’s identity as a soldier of Wyvern Peak.She wanted Alan to distance himself from Wyvern Peak.Alan did not mind Elaine’s remark and answered casually, “We’re just going for some drinks. I’ll be going now!”He headed downstairs upon saying that.Elaine heaved a sigh. However, she could not rest easy knowing that Alan w

“Ow!”Elaine and Adrian collided with each other, with her forehead slamming into Adrian’s chin.Elaine toppled over from the impact and was in pain. Adrian instinctively grabbed her hand to prevent her from falling to the ground.Elaine steadied herself and took two steps back. She was about to berate Adrian but was stunned as soon as she laid eyes on him. She felt her heart jump out of her chest.‘He’s… He’s so handsome!’ Elaine thought to herself, her mind running wild.“Are you all right?” Adrian asked Elaine.Elaine was head over heels. She stared at Adrian with her beautiful, shimmering eyes as if she wanted to swallow him whole.Adrian was stunned by the way Elaine was looking at him. He looked her up and down as well. Elaine’s beauty was considered rather outstanding among women in terms of both her facial features and her figure.Elaine’s heart was racing from infatuation at this very moment. As a result, she had not caught a word of what Adrian said.Adrian did not c
