“Haha…” Gloria chuckled. “Denzel was Adrian’s best friend, and they used to fight a lot. When I was still around, they used to butt heads a lot.”The nurse smiled and said, “Yes, it’s a waste that Battle Warrior Denzel sacrificed himself to save his sister. If he were still alive, there’s no telling who would’ve been chosen as the legate. I heard that Battle Warrior Denzel was even more powerful than War Legate Draco.”Gloria thought about it and said, “They’re about the same, almost equal. However, Denzel was slightly more mature than Adrian. After all, he was two years older than Adrian. Oh right, how’s Denzel’s sister?”The nurse said, “When Excenom invaded the moat last month, Hedgeton was occupied by the enemy. The legate sent troops to protect Hedgeville, and Denzel’s sister was seemingly transported to Yelloton. I don’t know the specific details though.”“He remembered her,” said Gloria.“There was a time not long ago when the whole country was criticizing Wyvern Peak. Howe

In the lab, Shane’s student brought over a hazmat suit as soon as Adrian walked in. He said to Adrian, “Sir, please put on the hazmat suit before you enter.”Adrian quickly put it on and walked into the lab.Shane and a group of professors were observing the data analysis of the rock. Upon noticing Adrian, the group of people called out.“Legate!”“You’re here, sir.”Adrian nodded. “What have you found?”Shane said, “We performed an analysis on the rock you brought back from the island. It isn’t made up of Earth’s organic materials and is possibly from outer space. In other words, it’s a meteorite.”“I expected as much,” Adrian said, “What is it made of?”Shane inhaled a deep breath and replied, “We can’t find any related information on the substances found on it. It’s made up of materials that we don’t know of and there’s plenty of room to study it closely.”Adrian glanced at Shane. “Does it emit some sort of radiation?”Shane shook his head. “No.”“No?”“Yes, it isn’t rad

The first place that Gloria wanted to go upon her return was to visit her parents’ graves at her family home. Adrian would accompany her, of course.“Mya, return to Swallowston and inform Sam about the situation here. Gloria and I will head back to Swallowston right after we’re done dealing with other matters,” Adrian briefed Mya.Mya answered with an “mm-hmm” and waved at Gloria. “See you in Swallowston. By then, Sam and I will have a grand feast prepared for you!”Gloria smiled and said, “Thank you, Mya!”“Don’t mention it. Farewell!”After saying goodbye to Mya, Adrian drove Gloria away from the garrison base. Jacky and the others did not turn up to say bye as all Wyvern Peak’s departments were in a state of battle preparation after receiving Crystal and the elders’ orders.Hence, they could only gaze after the departing Adrian.***The car was filled with Gloria’s anticipation. It carried her joyous laughter as it pulled away from the base and passed through the coastal cit

Gracia nodded. “Let’s do it. Mobilize all the subsidiary plants to supply the machinery to them according to the order and charge them the usual price…”“What? Ms. Gracia, materials prices are currently experiencing huge inflation. If we were to charge them the usual price, we wouldn't profit from the order. We might even lose money.”“Just do as I said. Gale will owe me one for this. Oh, also, what’s the date tomorrow?”“Twenty-sixth of April.”“That’s my parents’ death anniversary. I’ll be traveling to Slipcounty’s Thompsonville tomorrow, so clear my itinerary. I want to visit my parents’ graves,” said Gracia.“Yes, Ms. Gracia. Do you need any bodyguards to go with you?”“It’s fine. I’ll go alone.”The secretary did ask any further and walked out of the office to make arrangements. After she left, Gracia turned her head and looked toward a photo displayed on her office table. It was a photo of her sister, Gloria. It was only the only photo that Gracia had of her.After their

Her body shook upon seeing these people.“Gracia, your sister has fallen, but you should pull yourself together. You must pull yourself together. This is the last photo that your sister left for you…” A female soldier passed a photo to her.Gracia covered her head and stayed in bed. She was unusually quiet that day.She felt hopeless.She felt helpless.***“Gloria!”Gracia jolted back to reality. While in the tub, she suddenly called out her sister’s name and her eyes flew open. She looked around her and discovered that she was having the same dream again.“Gloria…” Gracia called out softly. She covered her head and curled up into a ball, agony surging through her.Gracia stayed in the bathtub the whole night. When she woke up the next day, she quickly packed her things, picked up her car keys, and headed downstairs. She hopped into her car and headed to the village.Meanwhile, in the hotel, Adrian and Gloria had already checked out and walked out of the hotel. Adrian opened
